Bang!
A dull thud rang out.
A Sword Shadow slammed into Shi Chengtian's Warblade, scattering a great cloud of Killing Intent on the spot.
"Hmph!"
Shi Chengtian grunted, both hands gripping his Warblade going numb.
Before he could react, a second Sword Shadow followed close behind.
Bang!
Another dull thud rang out.
Shi Chengtian felt an immense force strike his Warblade. His left hand jolted and was knocked free.
Without pause, the third Sword Shadow came.
Bang!
This time, Shi Chengtian nearly lost his grip on the Warblade. The energy within him shook violently, and his aura weakened in an instant.
Bang!
Crack!
The fourth!
The fifth!
The sixth!
Six Sword Shadows struck in succession. Shi Chengtian could bear no more. He grunted, a thread of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his right hand finally released the Warblade.
The Killing Intent on the Warblade...
Had long since vanished without a trace.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The last four Sword Shadows still hurtled toward him.
"No!!!"
Shi Chengtian's eyes turned bloodred. Withstanding six of Qin Hao's Sword Shadows had already pushed him to his limit. Four more remained, and he could no longer defend himself.
"Qin Hao, you dare..."
Shock and fury seized Shi Chengtian, while regret surged through his heart. He managed only a few words...
Slash!
A Sword Shadow fell. Shi Chengtian felt Heaven and Earth spin, then saw a headless body standing before him.
Slash, slash, slash...
The last three Sword Shadows struck the headless body, piercing straight through it and cutting it into three pieces.
I'm dead...
As Shi Chengtian watched, he understood. That was his own body.
Overwhelming weakness swept over him as his Life Force rapidly faded. His eyes filled with terror, despair, and regret.
If...
*If I hadn't gone looking
