Night Without End-Chapter 831 - 418: Blade Light Illuminates Black and White Mountain (Part 4)

Fiery red bamboos and golden bamboos are intertwined, all carrying a misty glow, strikingly vibrant in the icy world under the long night.

Meng Xinghai’s eyes revealed a divine light, he said, "There are indeed treasure medicines. In the depths of the bamboo forest grows special bamboo shoots, surprisingly carrying wisps of Tao Rhythm, probably far more valuable than the rumored Empty Spirit Bamboo Shoot!"

Qin Ming was also amazed, the Blood Bamboo Shoots on the ground were as transparent as red coral, along with the Golden Bamboo Shoots connected with strands of Tao Rhythm in the void, forming an exotic scene.

Some swordsmen among the group sacrificed exotic treasures, intending to dig up the Treasure Bamboo Shoots.

In an instant, they faced a counterattack, the whole bamboo forest rippled with red and golden hues, almost like a massive Spirit Field expanding.

Amidst the "puff puff" sounds, some swordsmen exploded open, their bodies exposed, the huge curved horns shattered, and the enormous ram skulls rolled about.

Qin Ming’s pupils contracted, feeling this seemed like a naturally formed large Spirit Field worth contemplation; could it be that the sages on the Newborn Road once witnessed such a Spirit Field and thereby opened the path?

"Everyone, retreat!" The oldest of the old swordsmen commanded, ready to take action himself.

Moreover, he stood far enough to ensure he was outside the range of the large natural Spirit Field.

However, when he sacrificed a curved blade, slashing along the ground hoping to gather the bamboo shoots, the mysterious bamboo forest with red and golden light waves again underwent changes.

The whole area resembled a glowing lake, then as if a mirror, sequentially illuminating two terrifying beams of light, one red, one gold, swift as lightning.

Despite the old swordsman’s swift reaction, he yelled as the two beams appeared to light up within his heart, instantly wounding his powerful Consciousness Spiritual Light. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

He staggered backward, saying, "Retreat, escape immediately, I’m wounded, further exploration is unadvisable, this place is terrifying and sinister."

His body avoided the attack, yet his mind seemed to have been slashed twice.

However, several other swordsmen were far slower, struck by the red and gold beams, they screamed on the spot, either pierced through the chest or their heads exploded, with some swordsmen dying miserably on the spot.

"It seems someone from the Cui Family is watching us." At this time, a swordsman reported, evidently they were also guarding against others, having discovered clues.

The old swordsman’s expression changed immediately, worried the Cui Family might strike secretly, he immediately shouted, "Quick, split up, leave the mountain, I’ll cover!"

He was rather responsible, standing guard here, allowing other swordsmen to leave first.

Qin Ming and Meng Xinghai watched secretly, observing some swordsmen escaping into the dense forest from different directions.

"Damn, this mission went awry, we should’ve dragged that spineless pretty face from the City Lord’s Mansion to lead the expedition. Ye State is destined to decline, yet they are still so clueless!"

Two young swordsmen walked together, both furious, and still complaining.

In fact, this time the failure was primarily due to their own recklessness, yet they blamed others.

"Is there such great resentment and malice?" Qin Ming navigated the Thunder King Bird, trailing behind them.

...

Cui Lao wu received the report, feeling surprised, then chuckled aloud, "Savages are indeed savages, daring to challenge dangerous grounds head-on and getting brutally beaten, Cui He, you lead the people to check whether they really left.

He felt somewhat uneasy, suspecting that the group of swordsmen might have retreated deliberately, and waiting for Cui Family to make progress, they might return for an ambush.

In the night fog, Qin Ming stood upon his mount, silently following behind.

Thunder King Bird is one of the fastest species in Ye State, now reaching the Fourth Realm, once accelerating, it truly resembles thunder in speed.

However, currently, it didn’t exert full force, instead carefully shrouding its tracks.

"After entering Chixia City, have the brothers go to the City Lord’s Mansion for recovery, let’s see if they dare to refuse!" The two young swordsmen in the Fourth Realm were feeling very frustrated on this journey.

Suddenly, a blade flashed brightly behind them.

Puff! Puff!

A blade swept across, two muffled sounds, a large amount of blood erupted, dyeing the snowfield red, and two headless bodies fell down.

Two heads flew forward, full of shocked expressions, also mixed with fear; they couldn’t believe it, being slaughtered by an unseen person.

Thunder King Bird soared over, the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade in Qin Ming’s hand was flawlessly white, without a speck of blood.

Lights of consciousness surged from the heads, attempting to escape.

However, the bright blade light cut through, their screams ceased abruptly, their souls also butchered.

"This group of savages really ran away, seemingly leaving in fear, could it be they’re afraid of our Cui Family chasing them down?" Cui He mused, then suddenly paused his steps upon hearing a nearby rapid and brief sound.

"What’s happening?" He showed a puzzled look, then immediately turned to leave.

Meanwhile, it was too late, he saw a Thunder King Bird traversing the night sky.

"It’s..." he wanted to say it’s you, but before the second word was spoken, a bright blade flashed forward.

"You!" At the last moment, he uttered this word, yet himself cracked open, his resistance totally futile, being split in half by Qin Ming in the night sky, from the brow downward, body splitting, a large amount of blood gushed out, and his spiritual consciousness was also sliced away, swiftly burned into ashes by the Heavenly Light.
