56: Chapter 56 Crushing

"Murder!" the homeowner screamed.

But in the next second, the sound came to an abrupt halt.

The immense force erupted from the collision between the two shattered a boulder, and the flying stone fragments shot out like cannonballs, striking the homeowner's body.

At this moment, how insignificant the lives of ordinary people were.

They couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of a battle between Martial Artists.

At the center of the battle.

One chased and the other fled; the pursuer was naturally Pei Qingyun, and the one escaping was Ling Ziwen.

During the battle, Pei Qingyun had no time to worry about the presence of ordinary people.

Perhaps the commotion caused by their battle was too great, as many people were startled awake from their sleep.

But when they looked out the window, they could see nothing but the battle marks left on the ground and hear only the sound of the two clashing.

Under the quiet night sky, this sound was particularly striking. As for their fighting figures, they were simply too fast.

Before ordinary people could even catch a glimpse, they had already appeared at the next location.

"Ling Ziwen, you can't escape. Everything you're doing now is nothing more than a dying struggle," Pei Qingyun didn't forget to apply verbal pressure while pursuing.

As a ruthless man capable of slaughtering an entire town, Ling Ziwen's mental fortitude was naturally beyond that of ordinary people.

However, the pressure from Pei Qingyun's pursuit was simply too immense. If his injuries hadn't yet recovered, how could he have ended up in this state?

At the same time, what he couldn't understand even more was why his plan had been seen through so easily.

"I hate this." Ling Ziwen didn't dare to look back, only able to constantly change positions in an attempt to shake off Pei Qingyun's pursuit.

But after several maneuvers, far from losing Pei Qingyun, his injuries had actually worsened.

"No, I can't keep running like this. If this continues, not only will I be unable to escape him, but the consumption of my blood and qi will aggravate my injuries." In the face of crisis, Ling Ziwen's mind became even clearer.

However.

The situation would not become safer just because of his clarity.

After thinking it over, Ling Ziwen realized that he had unknowingly run out of options.

Additionally, he realized the most important point.

Pei Qingyun wasn't unable to catch up to him; it was more like boiling a frog in lukewarm water, and he was that frog.

Some might say Pei Qingyun's tactics were insidious.

But when facing a Blood Demon Evil Servant who could slaughter a town, what need was there for morality?

"I'll give it my all." Realizing he had no way out, Ling Ziwen gritted his teeth.

The moment Pei Qingyun was about to close in, he didn't run as before but suddenly turned around, his whole body soaring into the sky like a skyrocket.

Chih!

Accompanied by a brilliant sword shadow, the long sword on Ling Ziwen's back unsheathed and pierced toward Pei Qingyun's heart with lightning speed.

Faced with this sudden counterattack, if it had been

any other ordinary Martial Artist, they might have fallen for it.

But Pei Qingyun seemed to have anticipated it. Just as he was about to take half a step forward, his entire being stalled, and his body defied the laws of physics by coming to a dead halt, moving out of Ling Ziwen's attack range.

"It seems you've finally realized it's better to stop running," Pei Qingyun laughed and quickly counterattacked.

"If I weren't injured, how could you have lived until now? I truly regret not using my full strength to kill you earlier," Ling Ziwen roared, his heart full of resentment.

He knew very well that there was no time to worry about his internal injuries now.

Immediately, Ling Ziwen used a Forbidden Technique. As he circulated the Blood Demon Arts, his body was enveloped in a thin layer of dark red Blood Qi. Driven by the dark red Blood Qi, his aura instantly climbed to its Peak, showing a faint tendency to break through to the Late Stage of Five Viscera.

"He's going all out." Seeing this, Pei Qingyun's face darkened, and he circulated his Late Stage of Five Viscera blood and qi to the limit.

Although he was somewhat flippant in his speech, he wouldn't be the least bit negligent in battle.

In the next moment, a loud boom erupted in the air.

Clang!

Under the violent impact, sparks flew from where the blade and sword met.

With his blood and qi at their Peak, Ling Ziwen was extremely confident in his strength. In such a head-on collision, there was no way Pei Qingyun could be his match.

However, from that single strike, he felt his arm go numb as if struck by lightning, and the long sword nearly flew out of his hand.

"What incredible power." Ling Ziwen was shocked; he never expected to fall into a disadvantage after just one strike.

He remembered that in their last encounter, Pei Qingyun definitely didn't have this kind of strength.

At this time, how could Pei Qingyun give Ling Ziwen time to think? He let out a roar, gathered his vast blood and qi into his arms, and the long blade in his hand turned into countless phantoms.

But in the blink of an eye, the countless phantoms vanished without a trace. When the long blade reappeared, a startling blade light slashed toward Ling Ziwen with unstoppable force.

Thousand Blade Slash!

His first Move was his strongest. After breaking through to the Late Stage of Five Viscera, the Thousand Blade Slash not only doubled in power but also increased significantly in speed.

Ling Ziwen obviously noticed this too, but Pei Qingyun's Thousand Blade Slash was simply too fast this time.

At this moment, he had no time to dodge and could only raise his sword to defend.

Clang!

Compared to the previous strike, the immense force carried by the Thousand Blade Slash was significantly higher. Ling Ziwen felt a sweetness in his throat as an overwhelming force struck, slamming hard against his chest.

At the same time, the long sword in his hand was pressed tightly against his chest. A small section of Pei Qingyun's long blade even embedded itself into his shoulder blade, causing blood to flow immediately.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Ling Ziwen leaned backward, attempting to escape Pei Qingyun's attack range.

But how could Pei Qingyun let him have his way?

He Flip your wrist, his blade turned and slashed diagonally toward Ling Ziwen's neck.

In this instant, Ling Ziwen felt a sense of powerlessness he had never experienced before.

He couldn't dodge!

No!

At the critical moment, Ling Ziwen exerted sudden force from his waist, causing his body, which was suspended in mid-air, to twist by a single centimeter.

This one-centimeter distance only ensured the long blade wouldn't slash his neck, but his body still took a hit.

Blood splattered!

Where the long blade passed, blood gushed out like a fountain.

It was also at this moment that Ling Ziwen realized the blood and qi in Pei Qingyun's body were no longer at the Mid stage of Five Viscera Realm.

"You're at the Late Stage of Five Viscera," Ling Ziwen gasped, his eyes wide.

He hadn't expected that Pei Qingyun had hidden his strength during their last battle.

"Correct, but unfortunately, there's no prize," Pei Qingyun's lips curled slightly, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Stop, don't kill me. I know a shocking secret!" Ling Ziwen hurriedly shouted to stop him.

"Oh," Pei Qingyun responded.

Before Pei Qingyun could agree, Ling Ziwen quickly blurted out everything he wanted to say.

"Before I left the Evil Suppression Bureau, I was just an ordinary Divine Strength Realm Martial Artist. But in such a short time, I've reached my current Realm. Don't you want to know the secret?"
