Chapter 1274 Heavenly Sword
Chang Jie witnessed how strong The Emperor was with his own eyes, up close. The enemy tried to overwhelm him with numbers but they failed. The first was like an explosive shell, anyone who got hit by the fist exploded. Whether it was the head or the body, they exploded into pieces.
The order was in his head, stuck close to Tang Shaoyang. He snapped out of his shock and came closer to Tang Shaoyang. He had not fought a single soldier yet, holding the sword with his two hands, he watched The Emperor's back. Two figures fell in front of him, six meters from where he stood. The two soldiers immediately got back on their feet and locked their eyes with Chang Jie.
After joining the Expansion Team for the Tang Empire, he developed a habit of using Detection before he fought monsters or zombies. He did the same for the two soldiers in front of him. Both were unranked, but the level did not show up.
Chang Jie's grip on his sword tightened up as nervousness got into him. He wanted to ask Tang Shaoyang if he should fight the two soldiers at once. The question never came out of his mouth after looking at how many soldiers The Emperor had to deal with.
The two soldiers exchanged glances for a moment before they nodded, rushing toward Chang Jie at the same time. The young man was nervous, but he knew this was his time to show what he was capable of to The Emperor. He took a step forward and used his skill, Heavy Strike. That was one of the basic skills for the Warrior class.
The two soldiers put their shields forward to block Chang Jie's sword. The strike was not that fast for them not to react. However, they underestimated Chang Jie to think they could block the sword. The sword went through the shield as if the shield were jelly. The sword cut through the shield and their bodies, splitting the two soldiers' bodies into two.
Chang Jie was also surprised that he managed to cut through the shield. What he thought was to knock back the two soldiers and kill them one at a time. He did not expect to kill them in one strike. There were two factors he was not aware of. It was his new sword and also his bloodline. Those two were the main reason he killed the two soldiers even though they tried to block the sword. Before he could comprehend everything, two more soldiers fell not far from him. He finally understood that the two soldiers were for him.
Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang glanced at the back, and he was relieved that Chang Jie was ready for the battle against the people. He thought it would take some time for the young man to get used to killing people. But Chang Jie seemed not to be affected even though he had to kill a human.
As soon as he pulled out the sword, his figure blurred. As his figure blurred, the ground was cut through. That was too fast and the four Legend Ranks did not expect such a quick attack. The Legend Rank with a shield managed to raise their shields and barrier, and the one with the spear managed to use his spear to block the incoming attack. But the fourth was unlucky as he failed to reach.
The fourth Legend Rank's head flew into the air, high and far as the body fell on the knee and the blood sprayed all over before the body fell to the ground. The Legend Rank with spear blocked the sword in time, but his spear was not enough to block the sword. The shaft split into two as the sword cut through his chest. His chest was split open as blood gushed out. He was still alive, gasping for breath. He tried to take a healing potion, but his wrist was cut clean by Tang Shaoyang before he managed to drink the healing potion.
Tang Shaoyang swung the sword, a clean cut to the neck, ending the legend rank suffering. Heavenly Revoke, a draw sword technique in the Heavenly Sword. The surprise element and how quick the attack was, made the technique good to be used in the first attack. Four Legend Ranks were caught off guard; one was killed instantly, one failed to block the sword, and the last two barely escaped death as their barriers crumbled and their shields split into two.
Tang Shaoyang raised his sword, pointing at the two remaining Legend Ranks, "You better be prepared if you don't want to die just like your friends." He then raised his sword and swung it down.
Fifth Heavenly Gate, Heavenly Sword - Heaven Fall!
The two Legend Ranks immediately used their bloodline transformation as quickly as possible. By the time they finished their transformation, the sky split into two. The two raised their heads as the golden sword descended from the sky, right onto them. It did not make any sound and cut through everything in its path.
The Two Legend Ranks used everything they had to block the sword because they knew they could not escape from the sword. It was not just one or two swords, but dozens of them. Their defensive barrier barely blocked the incoming golden sword. Their swords broke apart as they tried to swing their swords against the Golden Sword. They could not escape from the same tragedy as their friends as their bodies split into two.
Following the two Legend Ranks, the nearby soldiers got hit by the swords, killing hundreds of soldiers if not thousands. Two strikes, four Legend Ranks died.
Tang Shaoyang shook his head, disappointed with how weak the Legend Rank was. He felt like it was no different than the soldiers he killed in a single punch.
Chang Jie's jaw dropped, and could not believe what he just witnessed. His heart was pounding hard, nervous and giddy from excitement. He was nervous that the sword might hit him, and he was excited to be able to witness how strong The Emperor was. He heard a lot of rumors about how strong and cruel the Emperor was, and he had witnessed a small part of how strong The Emperor was. Many Tarriors worshiped The Emperor, and he understood those feelings now.
