Chapter 61 Shrimp and Pig Heart?
This is a very simple sword strike.
Shen An simply swung the heavy sword high above his head, and then slammed it down in Tian Boguang's direction!
A sword strikes down!
This sword strike had no sound, only the tooth-grinding whistling of air being torn apart!
This sword strike had no light, only a huge black shadow!
This sword strike seeks neither exquisite skill nor variation; it seeks only to smash everything before it! To shatter it! To reduce it to dust!
The extreme shock and fear made every hair on Tian Boguang's body stand on end! He could no longer care about his previous boast that "if he even frowns, he is not worthy of being a seven-foot man"; the instinct for survival overwhelmed everything!
At that critical moment, he used his proud lightness skill to its ultimate potential, a level he had never reached before!
He stomped his feet hard on the ground and stepped back, his signature move of the Three-Layer Cloud Step, which he had used for over twenty years, almost sparked fire.
Fast! Extremely fast!
However, Shen An's sword aura followed him like a shadow!
That seemingly clumsy heavy sword felt weightless in his hands, and the range of its power was beyond all reason! Tian Boguang felt that no matter where he retreated, he was always under the shadow of that huge black shadow!
There's no way to retreat! There's no way to avoid it!
Left with no other choice, Tian Boguang let out a roar like a trapped beast. He frantically poured all his inner strength into his arms, crossed his palms, and met the black sword shadow that was like Mount Tai pressing down on him head-on!
He hoped to block the iron-bar-like blow with his palms and use the force to retreat, but what difference was there between that and trying to help a rolling steel coil on the roadside?
"Bang—!!!"
A deep, chilling explosion erupted on the platform!
Tian Boguang felt an irresistible, overwhelming force emanating from the opponent's sword.
That wasn't internal force at all, but pure, extreme brute force, enough to split rocks and shatter monuments!
"Snap—"
A chilling sound of bones cracking rang out!
Tian Boguang met the heavy sword's left arm first. From his palm to his arm, it shattered instantly under the blow of the iron-like heavy sword! Arm bones, wrist bones, finger bones—none were intact! The tendons and bones of his entire arm were broken, hanging limply down, like a limp noodle with its bones removed!
Excruciating pain! Heart-wrenching pain!
But Tian Boguang didn't even have time to scream. With the help of this terrifying recoil, he was sent flying backward like a stone that had been smashed!
With a "plop," he crashed heavily onto the edge of the platform, his back pressed tightly against the river surface. Behind him lay a dead end.
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone was stunned by this swift and breathtaking scene.
One moment it was a tragic scene of a "righteous hero" offering his neck for execution, the next it turned into a dishonest villain fleeing in a sorry state, and finally being severely wounded by a sword!
This reversal happened so fast that most people didn't even have time to react.
The greatsword, still brimming with its destructive power, crashed down with a deafening roar!
"boom--!!!"
A deafening roar, far more muffled and terrifying than the previous clash of flesh and metal!
The entire platform in the middle of the river shook violently, as if it had been struck by an invisible giant hammer. This caused a surge of waves that made the surrounding awning boats churn as well. The people's feet swayed, and cries of alarm rose from all sides.
The dark, heavy sword smashed the solid wooden plank, several inches thick, into pieces. Wood chips and stone dust shot into the sky, continuing their momentum and embedding themselves deeply into the platform, leaving a hideous and terrifying gap.
Shen An took a deep breath, gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and suddenly pulled upwards with force.
However, the heavy sword remained motionless, as if rooted to the spot, firmly stuck inside.
He tried again, but it was still in vain.
I'm exhausted.
Shen An's chest heaved violently, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. That sword strike just now not only infused his entire body with strength but also incorporated the raging anger within him, causing a far greater drain on his mind and physical strength than he had imagined.
At that very moment, at the edge of the platform, Tian Boguang, using his still relatively intact right hand to support himself on the slippery platform, shakily stood up again amidst a pool of blood.
He was covered in blood, his left arm twisted grotesquely, white bone fragments piercing his flesh, and blood staining half of his body crimson.
Shen An's heart skipped a beat; he wasn't going to let this guy get away.
Just as his mind was racing, a subtle gaze fell upon him.
Shen An subconsciously looked towards the viewing platform and met Liu Zhengfeng's gaze.
Liu Zhengfeng winked at him subtly, almost imperceptibly.
There was not a trace of tension in his eyes, but rather a calmness and approval, as if to say: Don't worry, I've got you covered.
I almost forgot, there's also Uncle Liu.
That being the case...
Shen An simply loosened his grip on the sword hilt and slowly straightened up.
"Tian Boguang, why are you hiding?"
Tian Boguang was panting heavily and didn't say anything.
"Your grand pronouncements about 'friendship' were so passionate and inspiring, I almost believed them!"
"The reason you dared to speak out, the reason you dared to adopt that 'heroic' posture of offering your neck for execution, the reason you dared to take all the blame upon yourself..."
"It's only because you look down on me from the bottom of your heart. You just think my martial arts skills are too weak to hurt you, so you're putting on airs and acting all high and mighty here, isn't that right?"
boom!
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the crowd!
Everyone was stunned, and then, an uproar erupted!
Yes!
How could they not have thought of this!
Who is Tian Boguang? A ruthless bandit who has roamed the underworld for over a decade!
And Shen An? A completely unknown young man in his early twenties!
Tian Boguang's words sounded righteous and noble, but what was the foundation upon which they were based? It was his belief that he had an absolutely safe and overwhelming advantage.
That's not loyalty, that's condescending charity!
"He never even considered the possibility of losing!" someone in the crowd exclaimed. "He just wanted to use Young Master Shen's reputation to transform himself from a lecherous thief into a chivalrous thief with a code of honor!"
"Shameless! Utterly shameless!"
"I...I actually thought he was a real man just now! Ugh! I was so blind!"
Disdain, disgust, contempt...
People felt disgusted and ashamed that they had felt "admiration" for such a despicable person for a moment.
"No...no..."
A look of panic flashed in Tian Boguang's eyes.
He didn't care about the contempt and disdain of the people in the martial arts world around him; he was used to it.
But Shen An is different.
Seeing Shen Ann's disdainful look at the trash and hearing his misunderstanding of him, Tian Boguang panicked.
Heaven have mercy! He truly considered Shen An a friend!
