Legend of Sword King

How could they be so close?    

He had just observed his surroundings and concentrated on his guard. He clearly did not see someone rushing over, so why would someone whisper in his ear?    

Was it an illusion?    

Zhong Yiming almost thought he was dreaming.    

Of course, he wasn't dreaming. He himself clearly knew this.    

That was why his heartbeat suddenly sped up and like a heavy hammer hitting a war drum, it abruptly exploded with a bang, followed by a loud thumping sound in his chest.    

At the same time, with his rich experience against enemies, Zhong Yiming didn't hesitate in the slightest. The long saber in his hand thrust upwards, striking towards the direction of the sound!    

Although he had an eccentric personality and was extremely domineering, his combat prowess was absolutely tyrannical. Among cultivators of the same realm, he was rarely a match for anyone of his level. This was also the reason why he was able to gain the recognition of the big figures in the small pavilion.    

Anyone who wanted to take advantage of him had to pay a corresponding price!    

This stroke was fast enough, and Zhong Yiming was confident enough as well.    

Unfortunately, the other party was faster than him.    

How could a powerful cultivator who used a lightning strike from the darkness say anything if he wasn't sure if he would win against the enemy? How could he just let them be on their guard?    

There were thousands upon thousands of cultivators in this world. Perhaps there were people that were arrogant and conceited enough to make such a mistake at such a critical juncture, but this cultivator was definitely not Cheng Qing!    

The one who had launched the surprise attack was of course Cheng Qing, who was closing in on Zhong Yiming with a leap!    

Before Zhong Yiming could raise his sword, Cheng Qing's sword had already reached his neck!    

The moment Zhong Yiming struck, he felt a scorching pain as if his neck was bitten by a poisonous snake! This caused him to be extremely shocked and frightened, because in his imagination, the Glazed Light Armor was enough to block the enemy's sword blade and protect him completely!    

But now, his opponent's sword had actually pierced through his neck plate and passed by his neck!    

The Glazed Light Armor was more than half of Zhong Yiming's value, it was a genuine Mysterious rank weapon! For cultivators in Western Paradise, who could possibly be around the Confinement Realm and use a Mysterious rank magic tool or higher?    

If it wasn't a Xuan grade or above magic tool, how could it have injured him?    

Zhong Yiming's heart was beating wildly, but he did not lose his composure. In this moment of life and death, he did not immediately withdraw. He knew very well that he had already lost the initiative. If he wanted to survive, he could only use injuries to exchange for injuries. He could only use the edge of his blade to force his opponent to retreat!    

In this way, he would have the possibility to regain the initiative!    

So he did not retract the long blade in his hand, but went straight for Cheng Qing's ribs!    

He believed that his opponent would not be able to dodge this strike, because this was the exact moment when his opponent would attack! His opponent's previous moves were already old, so it would be absolutely too late for him to strike back!    

Although Zhong Yiming couldn't display the cultivation of a prisoner, he was able to erupt with power at the peak of the ninth level of the Xumi Stage in an instant!    

He had absolute confidence that his opponent would not be able to take this blow!    

The sword pierced through Zhong Yiming's armor, but it didn't pierce through his throat. Instead, it only passed right beside his neck. This was something Cheng Qing didn't expect. He wasn't a god, so he naturally couldn't predict that his opponent had a defensive tool like the Glazed Light Armor.    

After all, the Glazed Light Armor was a Mysterious grade weapon and not made of paper.    

Although the Heaven Lake Sword had pierced through the shard of armor, it had also been forced to change the trajectory of the stab.    

Since his opponent was not killed by his sword, Cheng Qing knew in an instant that his opponent would most likely not retract his sword!
