Qian Yu swung the sword in her hand, and waves of wind shot out quickly and passed through the soldiers who were in front of her.
The faces of the soldiers looked puzzled and a second later, their upper and lower bodies had separated. They still did not understand what had happened to them, until they all breathed their last.
Their bodies that were cut into two fell to the ground, and blood flowed out making the ground turn red and a pool of blood was created. The fishy aroma filled the air and the death air of the dead soldiers was a sight that could make anyone frightened.
Other soldiers watched their comrades being killed just like that before their eyes without knowing the cause. While they were still puzzled by what was going on, Qian Yu had darted between them and started to swing back the sword in her hand in her shrewdness.
His sword moved extremely fast and in just a matter of seconds, he had arrived behind the soldiers and stopped his sword movements.
*Splash!*
*buk...* One by one the bodies of the soldiers suddenly fell to the ground. They had all died with expressions of not knowing anything just like their comrades who had died before. They died with their eyes still open, as proof that they did not know they were dead.
They all died with just one injury to their bodies at their vital points, such as the heart, stomach, neck, and head.
Qian Yu finished off all those soldiers in just over 20 seconds, and she had not even deployed a quarter of her strength.
What Qian Yu did to the soldiers proved that his ability to use weapons was so high, that it was not even necessary to deploy more than one attack to kill 1 ordinary soldier. His sword technique was also so clean that there was not even a trace of blood on his body nor on the sword of Mana he had made, even though he had not created any protection on his body.
Such a sword technique was still far from what Weng Lou could do. It took many years of long and hard practice to be able to achieve what Qian Yu did.
Ye Lao glanced at Weng Lou and sneered at him, "Do you feel envious? He's your teacher, which means you'll be able to do it, maybe even faster than him."
Weng Lou smiled hearing Ye Lao sneer. Even though he said it as if he was insulting her, he was actually just encouraging Weng Lou. Although actually the way is really very strange.
"Yes, I know that. Thank you, Ye Lao." Weng Lou patted Ye Lao on the shoulder, then walked towards Qian Yu who was swinging the sword in her hand.
It seemed like he was dissatisfied with his achievement, as if the thing he did was still wrong and not up to his expectations.
"Ck ck! My ability is really dull! I even had to unleash 1 strike for 1 weak warrior like them! How humiliating! If this was my previous world, people would definitely laugh at me for my childlike ability of just learning to hold a weapon!" Qian Yu shook her head. He was completely dissatisfied and insulted himself.
"Lou, don't be like this teacher of yours! You must continue to train diligently so that your abilities do not decline like mine!" qian Yu said as she looked at Weng Lou who was walking towards her.
Weng Lou could only smile wryly hearing that. If it was Qian Yu's ability that had declined considerably, then what about when she was at her peak condition? Doesn't that mean he could even cut across the wall on the palace gate that reached 10 meters thick with such cutting tofu?
"Oh, well, teacher." Weng Lou answered quickly.
"Good, I don't want you to be weak like me."
After a brief conversation, Weng Lou's group arrived in front of a giant gate that separated the capital from the emperor's palace. The gate seemed to be tightly closed and from behind it could be heard the sounds of the soldiers running around.
"Back little Lou, I'll open the way for us."
Qian Yu then approached the large gate and stared at it for a moment. He tapped on the wooden gate, ascertaining its thickness, before then starting to step back and install his horses.
*Shhh....* A large amount of air is inhaled by Qian Yu. His lungs expanded, and his strength immediately focused on the tip of his sword.
*christian!* *strash!*
A straight line appeared on the wooden gate. Weng Lou stared silently for a while and waited for what then happened. A gentle breeze blew and touched the wooden gate.
*Srrrkkkk....* *Praaakkkkk!!!!*
The bottom of the gate was smashed into pieces and made a three-meter-high passageway. The piece of wood caused smoke and dust to rise into the air, and made the sight of the soldiers behind the gate blur.
*Tap...tap.....*
The sound of footsteps could be heard from behind the dust. All the soldiers immediately put up a standby position, and their weapons had been raised.
Shortly after, the figures of Weng Lou, Qian Yu, and also Ye Lao walked over from behind the fog and revealed the figures of the three of them.
*shu!*
Without any cue at all, hundreds of arrows were fired and aimed at the three of them. Qian Yu's eyes glowed in response to the arrival of the hundreds of arrows.
When one of the arrows hit him, he immediately swung his sword as fast as the wind and split the arrow. The action does not stop there, like a free wind moving in all directions, Qian Yu cut all the arrows that were pointing at them and made not a single arrow hit the three of them.
"No! Nah! No!!! This is wrong too! Damnit damnit! Argh...curse me! Even cutting the arrow properly I'm not a dick!"
When Qian Yu finished cutting the final arrow, she immediately released all her irritation and banged the sword in her hand onto her own head.
The soldiers who saw this, did not waste their chance and immediately attacked Qian Yu. These soldiers carried swords and spears with them and attacked Qian Yu together.
"Hey, I'm here too." Ye Lao whose hands were already itchy released three pieces of sky blue colored spear which was slightly different from the sword in Qian Yu's hand.
The three spears flew through the air, and passed through the bodies of the soldiers who were aiming at that Qian Yu. In an instant, they all fell to the ground with a huge hole in their chests.
"I told you, I'll handle the soldiers. The two of you immediately do your duty alone," said Qian Yu who had finished letting go of his frustration.
"I changed my mind, it turned out that finishing off these soldiers was more exciting than chasing after Emperor Sheng what was his name. Just let the boy handle it, crippling the servants and the church in the palace was too easy for him. Adding the task should be okay."
"Then we divide the territory, I am in the north, you are in the south."
"Agreed."
The figures of Qian Yu and Ye Lao immediately darted away and left Weng Lou alone in that place. Weng Lou was currently not paying attention to what the two of them were talking about earlier, he was focusing on the black smoke in his palm that was constantly changing shape as he wished.
The black smoke then immediately Weng Lou moved closer to the lifeless bodies of the soldiers on the ground, and noticed his reaction. Weng Lou could feel the death from this black smoke, so thought there might be a certain reaction if he brought it closer to the body of a dead creature.
And sure enough, when the black smoke that was only the size of Weng Lou's fist reached the body of one of the soldiers on the ground, the, the smoke immediately stuck to the soldier's body and then it shook violently. Suddenly, the soldier's body began to appear withered and dried up. The blood and flesh on the soldier's entire body had now disappeared, replaced with an unknown dried corpse.
Simultaneously, Weng Lou's handsome face was greatly shocked, not because of the condition of the corpse, but because of something else.
Somehow, he could feel that his strength had increased a little after the corpse had dried up. His eyes immediately stared at the black smoke, and his mouth was wide open.
"Don't tell me. The black smoke has absorbed the rest of the energy in the soldier's corpse and turned it into a force for myself!"
