Chapter 483: Chapter 427 Assassination, Tiger Talisman + Chapter 428 Sky Splitter Divides the Sea_3

But if one were distracted by other concerns, it wouldn’t be so easy to say.

"This person must die," muttered Zhou Ping’an with a silent hatred.

Yet he had no time to deal with these thoughts at the moment, as the opposing eight thousand cavalry, led by the Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi, had already rolled over Pinggang like a mountain shifting across the earth, pressing down as they came.

Wu Qi slowed his pace, the cavalry ranks behind him stretching longer, sharpening into a tight wedge, roaring with suppressed fury, their swords and spears raised level.

Killing intent surged like tidal waves, pouring forth in relentless tides.

Zhou Ping’an took a deep breath, his breath circulating, becoming one with his steed, and suddenly accelerated.

The two thousand horsemen behind him, at the same moment, felt their commander’s resoluteness and bravery.

All of them squeezed their legs tight against their horses’ sides, pushing their mounts to gallop faster, their swords and spears lifted.

The entire cavalry formation, like a silent venomous snake bursting forth from the grass, shot like arrows toward the opposing cavalry.

Forward or die, death being the only retreat.

Two hundred paces.

One hundred and fifty paces.

One hundred paces.

A glint of red light shone from Zhou Ping’an’s hand, a Dragon Carved Sun Shooting Great Bow already in his grip.

With a deep shout, his right hand with five fingers notched four arrows at once on the bow.

Drawing and releasing arrows, his fingers created afterimages.

Crack...

The red light blazed like meteor showers.

Whistling sharply, they wildly pierced through the opposing cavalry formation.

Within two breaths,

Hundreds of horsemen had fallen in the forefront.

And at this moment, the two sides had charged close to within fifty paces.

Wu Qi bellowed fiercely, his long halberd subtly moved, shattering seven or eight arrows, and his big steed with a mane of green snorted as it charged forward, whipping up a wild gale, covering dozens of paces in an instant.

He spun his halberd with a lifelike grace, his wrist and forearm deftly turning, spear-like, already aimed straight at Zhou Ping’an’s chest.

A bone-chilling Evil Qi transformed into a roaring Azure Dragon with its head raised in a furious cry.

A vast, immense strength pierced the very fabric of space, causing the air to congeal into dust...

"Good Halberd Technique," squinted Zhou Ping’an.

The fiery red Dragon Carved Bow in his hand had already vanished, and Cang Yue’s precious blade burst forth with a rippling azure light, gathering the army’s Qi, exploding with eighteen times the power. The image of Kunpeng diving into the sea to split it flashed through his mind, as he brought down One Slash decisively.

Whoosh...

The layers upon layers of Evil Azure Dragon Qi being compressed and digested in front of him suddenly split to the sides as if alive, and a line of sword light, like shadow, like light, had already slashed upon the halberd’s edge.

Crack!

The two massive horses crossed paths.

Zhou Ping’an’s figure staggered back, his sword retreating and heavily thumping against his chest, his body trembling violently as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and web-like fissures appeared on his face and head.

Blood surged crazily.

He spurred his horse onward without stopping, or looking back, his long sword shedding blood with each motion, as he plunged headfirst into the vast cavalry formation.

At this moment, he began to realize that his comprehension of the Sea-Splitting Sword was not profound enough; it had its limits, it hadn’t completely split open the opposing Azure Dragon Halberd.

Moreover, even the Life and Death Impermanence’s chance of life had its limits; he couldn’t heal the wounds before the Evil Qi invaded his body and caused havoc.

Indeed, everything bears its counter, there isn’t an invincible skill, only invincible people.

Without the backing of one’s Cultivation Realm, to talk about an invincible Cultivation Technique is utterly meaningless.

Behind him, the two thousand horsemen reached a critical moment of life and death.

Slash, slash, slash...

Blades entered flesh, men and horse fell over, two cavalries clashed, splashing blood high, whistling by.

Not until they had charged two hundred paces more.

Did the Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi finally press his hand against his left chest, where a line of a sword wound had split open the Bright Iron Armor, carved through the Stellar Jade Bone, sliced above the heart.

The extremely sharp Sword Qi flickered as if to explode, attempting to destroy his flesh.

As he circulated the Evil Powerful Azure Dragon Qi three times, he slowly ground away that trace of Sea-Splitting Sword Qi.

The wound gradually healed, as he regulated his Qi-Blood.

He turned his horse to look back, watching the large black steed disappearing into the distance, his eyes growing grave at the sight of the Green Clothes Knight atop it.

"Good Sword Technique!"

...

"Brother Zhou!"

Fang Sheng’s voice already carried traces of sobbing.

She was very close to Zhou Ping’an.

Her Martial Arts insight was also extremely sharp.

She saw everything with stark clarity.

The skirmish through the charge, though it was only a single exchange of moves.

Among masters, a single move can sometimes be everything.

Both commanders had poured their life’s learning into their attacks, facing off to determine life or death.

Fang Sheng, guarded by Zhou Ping’an behind him, still felt the overwhelming and heaven-toppling Evil Qi rush at her like a mountain crumbling and the sea parting.

She wondered if she had been in the front, she wouldn’t have even had to wait for the halberd to reach her physically, just encountering that Azure Dragon Qi would have shattered her body and worn her spirit away.

She would have died just as Yin Jiu did, without a chance to struggle.

However, the figure in Green Clothes before her, with One Slash, split the sea and the sky, with a power no less formidable.

He hadn’t fallen by even half a step in technique.

Their spirits entangled and their forces collided, Zhou Ping’an still suffered greatly due to his insufficient Cultivation.

The Evil Qi invaded his body, breaking through the King of Light’s Golden Body Technique, and aimed straight for the internal organs and bones.

Fang Sheng could see that Zhou Ping’an’s limbs and chest bones were mostly unharmed, but amidst the violent shocks, his waist had slightly collapsed, and his body was a bit hunched.

At the same time, his brow and skull bore spiderweb-like cracks, tearing the skin, revealing bleeding wounds.

Apparently, some ordinary bones that hadn’t been transformed into Starry Bones had been unable to withstand the fierce clash of powers and were on the brink of collapse.

In other words.

He was about to die.

Even the brain bones, which hadn’t taken a direct hit, were so shaken they were about to break apart; who knew what kind of mush his internal organs had turned into?

"It’s nothing, I can still fight. I reckon, as long as we take down that disciple from Cloud Water Sect, we can go back," whispered Zhou Ping’an, his breath sounding unsteady.

Fang Sheng felt a deep anguish listening to him.

"If we can’t make it back, we can’t. We’ve done all we can."

How could they handle someone like the ghoul-like Su Pengju when injured to such a state?
