107: Chapter 107 The Fall of a Sword Saint

The white sword qi whipped up a gale, howling as it slammed into the Mongoose Gate.

The shockwave from the surging sword qi made it impossible for everyone present to keep their footing.

Vaguely, they could all feel as if swords had manifested in the very air.

"My god..."

Fatty cried out in shock, murmuring as he looked toward Lin Tianyi beside him.

He had thought Song Yiqing was strong enough, but when a true Sword Saint struck, it was with the force of the heavens collapsing and the earth rending.

Lin Tianyi didn't say a word, but a deep sense of yearning flickered in his eyes.

They were proficient in ancient martial arts to a degree, but they could not achieve what Song Yiqing or the blind man could.

What they relied on were still firearms.

But as they delved deeper into this tomb and continued their exploration, he gradually began to feel a sense of powerlessness.

If it truly reached the point where they were just bystanders, would they become the discarded tail?

The blind man's strike had truly jolted Lin Tianyi awake.

The alarm bells in his heart were ringing incessantly.

As Wang Shan felt the Sword Intent of this strike, her body, mind, and soul seemed to enter a fantastical and profound state.

She gripped the long saber in her hand and slowly closed her eyes.

This strike was like cleaving the heavens; while it was utterly magnificent, it also represented the final guttering flame of a generation's Sword Saint.

The blind man no longer had the strength to sheathe his sword, only able to let his heavy body fall hard to the ground.

Thud!

...

The viewers in the livestream who witnessed this scene were frantically typing out bullet chats.

[This is insane!! Insane!! He... he's using his life to pave the way for humanity!!]

[Waaaah, no wonder the blind man never drew his sword; he was waiting for this final opportunity, waiting for the last chance to draw his blade!!]

[With this strike, he has carved out hope for humanity!! As long as the Mongoose Gate is shattered, we can enter and have a chance to uncover the secrets of how the forbidden zone was formed!!]

[The blind man!! He is a true Sword Saint!! He is a genuine Sword Saint!!]

[Sword Saint!! Sword Saint!!]

[Sword Saint!!]

[Our human hero!!]

Countless bullet chats of tribute drifted across the screen of the livestream.

Everyone watching the stream was sensible enough to understand that the blind man was willing to unleash this strike not just for his disciple, but for all of humanity!!

The members of the Flying Tiger Archaeology Team all stood up to observe a moment of silence for this Sword Saint who had left a legendary name in the martial world.

In the official command center of the Taklamakan Desert Forbidden Zone, everyone stood up to pay their respects to the blind man.

Not just in these places, but in many, many others, people were spontaneously mourning the blind man.

...

As Tan Wei watched the livestream and saw the figure of the blind man who had struck with his final life-force, his heart grew inexplicably heavy.

"Brother Kun, do you think we Penglai people have lost our roots? We used to belong to this land too, didn't we?"

"..."

Hou Kun didn't respond, just sat quietly in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window. After a full three minutes, he spoke.

"But, times have changed."

...

At the board meeting.

The blind man's strike was beyond the expectations of the board members, and the power of that single blow made their hearts tremble even through the screen.

It also made them feel a bit uneasy.

Just then, Wei Chengjun spoke up.

"If we can't get Song Yiqing's body for now, we should be able to get the blind man's, right?"

This one sentence instantly captured the attention of everyone at the board meeting.

There was a hint of shock in everyone's eyes, but even more so, excitement.

Shen Renda grinned and laughed.

"Hehehehe, Elder Wei is truly shrewd. In such a stirring moment, all he thinks about is business."

"But Elder Wei is right, the blind man is no ordinary person!"

"If we can obtain it, it will be of great benefit to the third stage of the experiment."

He said as he looked toward Xue Heng.

"I want a complete corpse!"

"Yes!"

Xue Heng nodded heavily.

But the scene that followed in the livestream made everyone frown.

"It's still not shattered?"

...

On the livestream screen, as the thick dust gradually dissipated.

The Mongoose Gate, having taken a heavy blow, was covered in cracks.

At the same time, many bronze fragments were peeling off its body.

Revealing raw flesh that looked as if it had been skinned.

"Roar..."

A series of low growls issued from its mouth, yet they could still affect one's mind, causing their hearts to vibrate violently.

"It's still not dead?"

Fatty looked at the scene before him in disbelief, his pupils gradually constricting.

"What on earth is this Mongoose Gate! Why... why..."

"Fatty!!!"

Song Yiqing suddenly let out a sharp roar.

"Qian position! Go!! Don't let the blind man's sacrifice go to waste!"

"Lord Song!"

Fatty was startled, then gritted his teeth and sprinted over, his feet moving as fast as the wind.

Then Lin Tianyi and Wang Shan ran in separate directions.

Rat-a-tat-tat!!

Bang bang bang!!

This time, with the bronze outer armor shattered.

The firearm bullets were finally able to penetrate its body and cause damage.

"Aaaaaah!! Die! Die!!"

Fatty roared, bullets firing incessantly.

Meanwhile, Song Yiqing continued to drink, constantly stacking his Wine Qi while frantically stimulating the Sword Heart within him!

What he needed to do was use this Sword Heart to release even stronger Sword Intent and strike with the most fierce sword technique.

But in the next second!

Bang!!!

The monster that was originally in the gate suddenly burst out and instantly lunged at Song Yiqing, who was in the middle of drinking.

Rip!!!

A sharp claw instantly tore through his body.

Blood splattered all over the ground!

"What!!!"

Fatty looked at the scene before him in shock!

"Ah!! Lord Song!! Lord Song!!!"

"Song Yiqing!!!"

Lin Tianyi never expected that Song Yiqing would die so suddenly.

And what he expected even less was that he would be torn into bloody shreds by a single claw from the Mongoose Gate.

Invisible, terrifying pressure fell entirely upon them.

The brutal state of the battle.

Represented humanity's total defeat in the face of the forbidden zone.

"Damn it!!"

Lin Tianyi roared, holding his gun and firing desperately.

But suddenly!!

The air began to vibrate slightly!!

The aura of Sword Intent that had appeared before surged once again!!

"Who is it?? Who could it be??"

Lin Tianyi frantically searched the scene for the figure of the person unleashing the Sword Intent.

But suddenly!!

When his gaze locked on, he was completely stunned.

"You... you..."

In his shocked gaze.

The person releasing the Sword Intent slowly picked up the sword from the blind man's hand.

"I will slay it."
