Chapter 2083 - 2073: Cross Slash (First Update)

In front of the dilapidated great hall of Sunset Mountain.

The air became extremely heavy and murderous.

Chen Zijie’s charming face turned solemn, her expression unpleasant.

Surrounded by Deng Ken and others, today’s outcome would surely be more perilous than fortunate!

Though they numbered only a dozen, facing their forty to fifty, the momentum was completely reversed.

Aside from Deng Ken, each of the remaining ones had an aura no weaker than that of Chen Zijie!

Coming to Sunset Mountain this time, it’s uncertain whether it was right or wrong!

Chen Zijie glanced back at Muu Xinrui and the others, sighing inwardly.

At present.

Without making a move, she could already judge the disparity in strength between herself and this Deng Ken!

The other party’s so-called Bronze Knight was at least equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

She was merely at the Qi Refining Ninth Level!

Although her strength was also quite remarkable, it was still far from that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

A gap of one realm, no matter how heaven-defying you are, like her as a Sword Dao Cultivator, even with terrifying attack power!

Yet, separated by a major realm, like a chasm, it’s fundamentally impossible to bridge under normal circumstances!

The crushing power of cultivation can render you unable to retaliate!

Thinking of the current unfavorable situation, Chen Zijie took a deep breath.

Then she turned to look at her three junior sisters, Muu Xinrui and the others, and solemnly said, "It’s Senior Sister’s recklessness, I might have endangered you all!"

"Senior Sister, no! How can you say that! We’re fellow sect sisters, we should advance and retreat together, no talk of endangerment!"

Luo Yun shook her head strongly, speaking to Chen Zijie.

"Senior Sister, we’ll face the enemy together!"

Muu Xinrui’s small face also showed a resolute expression, pursing her lips as she spoke.

An Beibei nodded vigorously, her eyes showing determination!

Facing such a formation ahead, indeed, they were somewhat afraid.

Especially Deng Ken’s aura, which nearly made them unable to muster any resistance!

However, fear is one thing, but they couldn’t retreat!

"No! Listen to Senior Sister!"

Chen Zijie’s delicate eyebrows knitted together, and she coldly ordered, "Now my words are a command, you must listen! If there’s a chance later, you must escape together, back to the sect! Otherwise, I won’t die in peace!"

The appearing Deng Ken and others raised their powerful presence.

Chen Zijie knew she was outmatched and had already prepared for the outcome of her fall!

"Seventh Senior Sister!"

Muu Xinrui and her two companions clearly understood Chen Zijie’s implication and immediately exclaimed.

"Listen to me!"

Chen Zijie’s beautiful eyes glared, sternly scolding.

The three young girls pursed their lips immediately, eyes reddening, tears silently slipping down their cheeks.

"Heh heh, still thinking of finding a chance to escape?"

Across from them, Deng Ken let out a cold laugh, saying, "If any of you manages to escape from me, a dignified Bronze Knight, then I, Deng Ken, would become the laughingstock of Rhein City!"

Upon hearing this.

Chen Zijie fell silent.

This Bronze Knight was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

If it had been a powerful Foundation Establishment Cultivator, could she have had the chance to allow Muu Xinrui and others to escape?

Clearly, the chances were slim!

"If we can’t escape, then we fight!"

Suddenly, standing beside them, an assassin from Wanggeshan pulled out a firearm, firing several shots at Deng Ken and the group behind him, bullets raining down like torrents.

This assassin from Wanggeshan attacked extremely suddenly!

Especially with firearms, the speed of the bullets, most people couldn’t even respond before they might already be dead!

The sudden attack also made the others present change their expressions greatly, drawing their weapons in combat stances.

Clang clang~

Unexpectedly, the bullets streaked outwards, producing crisp explosions upon hitting Deng Ken and his group, followed by sparks flying!

This scene made many people widen their eyes.

Chen Zijie took a cold breath!

Those bullets, Chen Zijie thought she could also take without damage!

But Deng Ken didn’t even move, the bullets rebounded off the pale azure light shield surrounding him.

As for the group of his subordinates, faint black light flickered on them intermittently.

Bullets striking their bodies merely scraped off a series of sounds, unable to penetrate!

"This... they’re immune to blades and bullets?"

Both Wanggeshan and Liuusha’s assassins were taken aback, their faces revealing awe.

Ordinary experts.

Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster wouldn’t dare take bullets head-on!

Even if protected by Gang Qi, they wouldn’t dare simply let bullets strike them!

After all, Gang Qi needs Inner Strength support, once depleted, bullets can be lethal!

But these people in front, bullets felt like mere scratches, their postures unmoving!

"Not to mention Deng Ken being a Bronze Knight, needing cannon fire to cause him minor injuries!"

Xing Yin, with a clearer understanding of the Cross Heavenly Court, shook his head sighing, saying, "His subordinates are Black Iron Knights, mostly Middle-level and High-Grade, not much weaker than a Martial Arts Grandmaster! What they call Black Iron is actually them cultivating Knight Holy Power, reaching the Black Iron Level, akin to Black Iron Skin, truly immune to blades and bullets! So-called Holy Power, though the name sounds mystical, is actually similar to our martial artists’ cultivated Inner Strength! But even more powerful, comparable to the True Qi of Immortal Mountain Sect cultivators..."

Hearing this explanation, many people gasped.

Some couldn’t help but focus their eyes on Chen Zijie.

At this moment, Chen Zijie could only maintain a stern face, silent.

Not to mention Deng Ken, dealing with those Black Iron Knights was already quite laborious for her!

"Haha... as expected of Liuusha, your assassin organization might be wasteful in other aspects, but there’s one thing many forces can’t match!"

Deng Ken laughed aloud, looking at Xing Yin, saying, "That’s intelligence; you do it astonishingly! Even our Cross Heavenly Court could be thoroughly understood by you!"

"But... the guys below are a bit ignorant! Using firearms against us? It’s utterly laughable!"

"Since you’ve made a move, then..."

"Kill them all clean, and then search for the treasure map!"

Rumble~

Terrifying energy erupted instantly from Deng Ken.

His whole body surged with pale azure aura, and then he directly lunged towards Chen Zijie.

"Xiao Rui, remember, find an opportunity to escape!"

Chen Zijie drew her treasure sword with a clang, simultaneously scolding Muu Xinrui and the other three, before rushing towards Deng Ken with the sword in hand.

Seeing this.

Muu Xinrui and the three girls naturally wouldn’t take the opportunity to escape, instead, they charged towards those Black Iron Knights!

Liuusha and Wanggeshan’s people naturally didn’t just stand by, using their numerical advantage, they attacked that group of Black Iron Knights!

It’s a matter of lips and teeth; if they don’t fight with all their might, truly, they would all be ensnared here!

But, the strength of those Black Iron Knights was even more terrifying than imagined!

Though Muu Xinrui and the three girls were also formidable, after all, they were only three, able to hold off only three or four, while the others charged into Wanggeshan and Liuusha’s group of assassins, killing several in the blink of an eye!

Xing Yin was injured, fleeing into the great hall in disarray.

Rumble~

Meanwhile, Chen Zijie met Deng Ken, nearly unleashing her strongest power, her longsword in hand storming like a hurricane, stirring waves of Sword Qi in the air.

She cultivated in Sword Dao, her attack power extremely fearsome, finally managing to hold back Deng Ken by force!

"Hmph, you’re strong! But... beneath my Cross Sword, there shall always be a soul!"

Seeing he couldn’t take down Chen Zijie for the time being, Deng Ken grew irritated, the light of his Cross Greatsword glowing even more brilliantly.

"Kill!"

Deng Ken shouted sternly, the blue light on his Cross Sword transforming into fierce beams, surging down like giant waves.

Ha!

Chen Zijie’s face changed drastically, an exclamation escaping her lips, her sword in hand blocking, quickly retreating.

Crack~

But the next moment, her sword broke apart, and her whole body flew out like a sandbag.

"Cross Slash!"

Deng Ken had no mercy for the fairer sex, stepping forward to press the attack, slashing down with his Cross Sword towards the airborne Chen Zijie.
