Silver Overlord

As soon as they fought, Yan Liqiang could clearly feel that this Blackwind Bandit was stronger than the one before. His attacks were more violent and ruthless.

This Blackwind Bandit used a scimitar as his weapon, and his technique was fierce and powerful. Based on the attainment of his technique, he was far superior than that of Yan Liqiang’s. Every attack seemed to be aimed at Yan Liqiang’s head, neck, or the vital organs in his abdomen. Almost every attack was deadly. Any carelessness on Yan Liqiang’s part would lead to his death or heavy injuries.

Shrouded by the gleams of the man’s scimitar, Yan Liqiang felt as though he was a leaf caught up in a violent sea that could possibly be overturned by a gigantic wave at any moment. The fact that he could still fight hand to hand with this person was all thanks to his vision, arm strength, reaction speed, and his body techniques. Despite all that, Yan Liqiang could only barely manage to fend off his attacks with the shortsword in his hand!

Before the battle, Yan Liqiang was initially planning to rely on the Black Scale’s sharpness to break his opponent’s scimitar with a single strike, and hence greatly weaken the other party’s offensive power. However, after exchanging a couple of blows, he realized that the Blackwind Bandit’s scimitar was no ordinary weapon. Even after noisily clashing against Yan Liqiang’s Black Scale shortsword over twenty times, his scimitar was still unscathed and as sharp as ever.

Every time Yan Liqiang blocked or clashed against the Blackwind Bandit’s attack, he could vaguely sense a strange vital Qi in his opponent’s weapon. The vital Qi burned hot like an iron and actually traveled to his body through the weapons, making him feel as though his entire hand was getting stung by a hornet every time he exchanged blows with his opponent. His tendons, veins, and muscles were throbbing with burning pain.

Being able to project vital Qi during a battle was an indication of a true Grade One Martial Master. This Blackwind Bandit seemed to have only reached the gates of vital Qi projection. This meant that he was a Peak Supreme Martial Warrior that was about to progress into a Marital Master, which was about two levels more powerful than Yan Liqiang who had just progressed into a Marital Warrior.

If it wasn’t for Yan Liqiang’s powerful foundation, an ordinary martial practitioner who had just progressed into a Martial Warrior would probably be wiped out by this Blackwind Bandit’s scimitar in just a flash.

…

After enduring the Blackwind Bandit’s attacks for five minutes, Yan Liqiang had already sustained three more fine bloody cuts on his body. These were all from the Blackwind Bandit’s killing moves which Yan Liqiang had managed to evade by a hair’s breadth with the Nine Palace Wind Shadow Steps technique. All of a sudden, the Blackwind Bandit let out a deafening yell and started spinning his arms like a hurricane. While spinning, the scimitar on his hand was like a tornado in the desert. Its shiny gleam vanished instantly and became a blur hidden inside the spiraling sandstorm.

A masked murderous intent was the most terrifying type of intent. Likewise, an invisible blade was the deadliest type of blade.

Yan Liqiang shivered in his heart because he knew this was the Blackwind Bandit’s ultimate technique…

While flying backward to retreat, Yan Liqiang stared at the gleaming scimitar that was spinning like a tornado. The Blackwind Bandit charged forward with his steps as quick as lightning. Every ounce of strength in his body erupted at this very moment. With one charging forward and the other retreating backward, the gleaming scimitar akin to a tornado was right in front of Yan Liqiang…

Yan Liqiang let out a loud cry. His excellent perception captured the biting cold killing intention concealed in the tornado at this very moment. With all the strength in his entire body, he dived right into the blurry light with the shortsword in his hand.

CLANG…!

An even sharper noise rang out from inside the violent tornado.

At that moment, he could at most see the shock in the Blackwind Bandit’s eyes behind his black veil. Yan Liqiang was delighted, but the burning pain on his arm from the vital Qi’s invasion was suddenly amplified by a few fold. The moment his shortsword rang out against his opponent’s scimitar, he felt the sensation of being stabbed by a burning hot iron wire. The burning hot iron wire pierced through his palm and went all the way to his shoulder, instantly causing his entire body to feel numb…

The powerful impact knocked both Yan Liqiang and the Blackwind Bandit back at the same time. Yan Liqiang’s hand, which was holding the Black Scale, started trembling and he almost lost his grip on the shortsword…

As expected of an expert. The disparity between the Blackwind Bandit’s and Yan Liqiang’s martial arts cultivation was immediately evident at this very moment. When the Blackwind Bandit was knocked back from the impact, he pressed the edge of his scimitar against the ground and lifted his body with an arch-like flip. However, he suddenly kicked one of his legs over his head like the poisonous tip on a scorpion’s tail. Before Yan Liqiang could even react in time, his chest was kicked. He let out a groan and was sent flying into the bushes ten meters away. When he landed on the ground, he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Damn!

Without a second thought, Yan Liqiang, who had fallen onto the ground, tried to get up again with a roll. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see the Blackwind Bandit charging toward him, wasting no time at all…

However, right at this moment, a short, unexpected figure silently scuttled out from the bushes two meters behind the Blackwind Bandit. It opened its jaw widely and bit the Blackwind Bandit who was approaching Yan Liqiang.

The black shadow that had dashed out from the bushes was none other than Goldie.

Goldie rushed out with a speed that was at least a few times faster than any ordinary dog. When Goldie was directly behind the Blackwind Bandit, it raised its head and bared its sharp teeth. It then bit down on the Blackwind Bandit’s crotch.

What stupefied Yan Liqiang was the fact that Goldie’s target turned out to actually be the Blackwind Bandit’s… balls…

His balls!

The Blackwind Bandit totally didn’t expect for someone come to Yan Liqiang’s rescue at this moment. Goldie’s was swift and close to him, so he was suddenly caught off guard. When the Blackwind Bandit felt something was off behind him, he sidestepped as fast as he could and tried to evade the attack. Even so, Goldie still managed to bite him hard on his inner thigh. The Blackwind Bandit couldn’t help but let out a blood-curdling scream before promptly kicking Goldie so hard that it was sent flying into the bushes at the side…

With that, the Blackwind Bandit was thrown off from his rhythm and he also sustained an injury on his thigh.

With the opportunity to gasp for a breath, Yan Liqiang immediately stood up with a roll and got into a defensive stance. In the distance, the Blackwind Bandit drew a sharp breath as he struggled to remain standing, almost losing his balance in the process…

“GOLDIE…!” Yan Liqiang yelled out worriedly because he had just seen Goldie getting kicked into the bushes.

When Goldie heard Yan Liqiang, it shook its fur and its head, then came out from the bushes. Crouching its body and baring its teeth like a wolf while growling dangerously, it glared at the Blackwind Bandit with an ominous glint in its eyes. It adopted an offensive stance and it seemed like it was actually be planning to attack the Blackwind Bandit with Yan Liqiang.

Good dog, what a good dog indeed. If Goldie had just bitten half a foot closer to the side, the Blackwind Bandit would have…

Yan Liqiang laughed heartily while watching the Blackwind Bandit’s crotch dripping blood. However, after only two laughs, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Even so, he was still pleased.

“You… and your dog… shall die…!” The Blackwind Bandit finally spoke for the very first time. Although his voice sounded a little weird, he spoke fluent Chinese. He swiftly pressed a few spots on his thighs and his wound nearly stopped bleeding completely. He panted while glaring at both Yan Liqiang and Goldie. His eyes reddened and he seemed to be extremely furious.

Thinking about how he was nearly turned into a eunuch because of a dog, the Blackwind Bandit was eager to chop Yan Liqiang and his dog into pieces and cook them for dinner.

Yan Liqiang squinched his eyes and sneered coldly, “Oh really? It’s not certain yet who’s going to die in the end!” Although he seemed to be in an unfavorable position and was also injured, he still had some trump cards up his sleeves. Now that the Blackwind Bandit had an injured leg, it was inevitable that his movements would be slightly affected. If both of them continued fighting in their current conditions, Yan Liqiang’s chances of killing the Blackwind Bandit with his killing technique were much higher. Therefore, he wasn’t afraid in the slightest.

Although a cultivation realm represented a person’s strength, a person’s strength wasn’t limited by his cultivation realm.

The Blackwind Bandit sized up Yan Liqiang and Goldie. When he was about to charge toward Yan Liqiang, Yan Liqiang suddenly had a very exaggerated and shocked expression plastered on his face while looking behind the Blackwind Bandit…

“Don’t even think of trying that again. I’m not going to fall for it! You’re still too…” Before the Blackwind Bandit could finish his sentence, he let out a low groan. He lowered his head and saw the shiny tip of a sword protruding out from his chest. His expression then contorted into disbelief…

In the next moment, his head was suddenly sent flying and his body crashed loudly onto the ground. Standing behind him coldly with a sword in hand was the female disciple from the Wise Ruler Sect…
