Chapter 664 The Final Chapter
A cold wind, carrying the scent of blood, raged across the wasteland. Lin Wei stood gracefully atop a makeshift watchtower, her white dress fluttering in the wind like a withering snow lotus. Her gaze fixed on the dark mass on the horizon, her heart sinking to the bottom.
Over ten thousand elite Hanbei soldiers, their armor gleaming, their banners blazing in the sky. They were no small band of marauding thugs, but a truly formidable force! With measured steps and a solemn, murderous aura, they rapidly advanced towards this small border town—the very place where Lin Wei would be buried.
"Zhao Tianlei..." Lin Wei gritted her teeth, the color draining from her beautiful face, leaving only cold hatred and determination. He actually dared! To eliminate her, to fulfill his ulterior motives, he hadn't hesitated to invite a traitor into his home, moving so many Hanbei troops into Dajing territory! His goal had never been merely to kill her, but to nail her to the pillar of shame for "collaborating with the enemy and treason," creating a shocking "ironclad evidence"!
However, when the Hanbei army stopped a mile outside the city and formed a siege, what happened next made Lin Wei truly feel the chill and despair.
The Hanbei army's formation parted, and dozens of figures slowly emerged from it. These individuals varied in stature, young and old, monks and Taoists, but without exception, they all exuded an aura as profound and condensed as a thousand-year-old pond, their gazes as sharp as a hawk hunting its prey. Each one, standing there, resembled an unshakable mountain, their aura profound and unfathomable!
One, two, three... Lin Wei's pupils suddenly contracted, and her heart seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible big hand, almost stopping beating.
Not ten, not twenty... a full thirty! Thirty Heavenly Realm masters!
Furthermore, those with a powerful aura, resonating with the heavens and the earth, were clearly at the late stage of the Heavenly Realm! Furthermore, three or four figures, their auras as vast as the ocean, seemed to have faintly touched upon the barrier of the Heavenly Realm's pinnacle, only one step away from breaking through to that legendary realm!
Such an array would be enough to stir up a tsunami, not just in this small border town, but even in the capital of Dajing! To kill her, Hanbei had actually mobilized such a terrifying force! What was the price Zhao Tianlei had paid?!
Lin Wei took a deep breath, forcing down the turmoil within her. She herself was a master at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Realm, rarely rivaled by the younger generation of the Great Zhou. She could single-handedly defeat several ordinary Heavenly Realm minor and major successes. But before her were thirty Heavenly Realm masters, some of them even at the peak of the Heavenly Realm! And there were as many as four or five at the peak of the Heavenly Realm. This meant they had mobilized all their might to hunt her down alone.
This wasn't a fight, it was a naked siege! A deadly attack that would leave her with no escape even if she had wings!
"Lin Wei, surrender and I may leave you with your body intact!" A master of the heavenly realm who looked like a general from Hanbei stepped forward and shouted in the stiff Dajing language, his voice full of arrogance and murderous intent.
A poignant sneer played across Lin Wei's lips. She slowly drew the sword "Liushuang" from her waist. The long, narrow blade reflected an icy light in the bleak sunlight. "You can take my life, Lin Wei! But expecting me to surrender is wishful thinking!"
Her voice was clear and resolute, echoing throughout the battlefield. Although she knew she would die today, Lin Wei, as the protector of Dajing, knew she would die gloriously, dragging others down with her!
"You don't know what death is! Form a formation and kill!" A trace of impatience flashed in the eyes of the Hanbei general, and he shouted sternly.
In an instant, thirty heavenly realm masters took action!
Thirty terrifying auras rose into the sky, merging with the wind and clouds above, and the entire air between heaven and earth became violent. Like thirty streams of light, they rushed towards Lin Wei on the watchtower from all directions, instantly unleashing a variety of exquisite and domineering martial arts. The flashes of swords, the energy of swords, the shadows of palms, the winds of fists, the spiritual light of magic weapons... They surrounded Lin Wei within a hundred feet, weaving an impenetrable web of death!
"Kill!" Lin Wei's eyes flashed, and the energy she had cultivated for years burst forth without reservation, her peak-level aura soaring into the sky. The Liushuang Sword in her hand transformed into a staggering rainbow, slashing fiercely at the first three attackers!
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!"
The clanging of metal was deafening, sparks flew everywhere. Lin Wei felt a tingling sensation in her arm. The three opponents were actually mid-level Celestial Realm cultivators working together with perfect tacit understanding. A force of gentleness, strength, and intrigue surged simultaneously, forcing her to exert all her might to neutralize it.
However, this is just the beginning!
More attacks followed, overwhelming and unavoidable. At least two Heavenly Realm masters joined forces in each direction, with even late Heavenly Realm masters occasionally delivering earth-shattering blows, consuming most of Lin Wei's energy.
Lin Wei's figure swirled like catkins in the wind amidst the intensive onslaught, perilous and threatening. Her swordsmanship was exquisite, at times nimble and graceful, like an antelope hanging on a horn; at others, fierce and unrivaled, like a raging dragon emerging from the sea. The Liushuang Sword seemed to come alive in her hands, each swing igniting a cloud of sword shadows. She parried, counterattacked, and dodged, unleashing her full potential.
Lin Wei moved like a ghost, weaving freely among the barrage of attacks. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle, closely monitoring every weakness of the enemy.
She flashed like lightning, charging towards a master who had reached the Heavenly Realm. The Liushuang sword in her hand shone with a cold gleam, aiming straight for the man's throat. The master's face changed drastically, and he frantically waved his sword to block. However, Lin Wei's swordsmanship was as swift as the wind, instantly breaking through his defenses and piercing his throat.
Lin Wei then turned to face another master who had reached the Minor Success stage of the Heavenly Realm. Her eyes gleamed with determination, and the sword in her hand was like a dancing butterfly, light yet deadly. The master attempted to block Lin Wei's attack with her sword, but her endlessly varied sword moves made it difficult for him to defend. Finally, with a clever move, Lin Wei slew the master.
Under Lin Wei's fierce attack, the enemy's masters fell one after another. Her swordsmanship was like art, each strike imbued with endless power and skill. As time passed, Lin Wei slew more and more enemies, and her body gradually became stained with the blood of her enemies.
However, Lin Wei's eyes remained calm and resolute. She knew the battle was far from over. In her heart, she held only one conviction: to defeat the enemy and protect everything she held dear.
"puff!"
After all, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone sixty, each of which possesses the power to destroy the heavens and earth. After taking a heavy punch from a late Heaven Realm expert, Lin Wei's blood surged, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and her body even faltered slightly.
It was this slight delay that became a fatal flaw!
The two mid-level Celestial Realm assassins, who had been circling the periphery, searching for an opportunity, approached like ghosts. Their poisoned short blades gleamed with a faint blue light. Taking advantage of the moment when Lin Wei's old strength had just faded and her new strength had yet to return, they stabbed her vital points, one in front and one behind!
Lin Wei's heart was filled with alarm. She tried to draw her sword to block but it was too late. She could only twist her body to avoid the vital part.
"Hey!"
With a slight sound, the assassin's short blade on her left slashed through her shoulder blade, sending a shower of blood raining down. Instantly, intense pain washed over her, and she almost lost feeling in her left arm. But she couldn't care less, because the danger on her right was even more deadly!
She spun around suddenly and smashed the wrist of the assassin on her right with the spine of the Liushuang sword.
"clang!"
The assassin's wrist felt numb, and the short blade deflected, glancing across Lin Wei's ribs, leaving behind a piece of flesh and blood.
But at this moment, an overwhelming pressure emanated from the sky! A powerful late Heaven Realm expert from Hanbei seized this fleeting opportunity, forming hand seals with his hands. A column of extremely condensed black energy descended with a bang, like a natural disaster!
Lin Wei's pupils suddenly shrank. She couldn't avoid this attack! She held the Liushuang Sword across her chest, pouring her true energy into the sword without reservation. The sword burst into a brilliant light, forming a huge sword shield.
"boom--!"
The black energy column collided with the radiant sword and shield with a deafening roar. The wooden structure of the watchtower shattered under the terrifying shockwave, sending wood chips flying everywhere. Lin Weiru was struck hard, her delicate body flying backwards, blood gushing from her mouth, staining her pristine white dress red.
Her sword and shield were broken!
"It's now!"
The eyes of the Hanbei masters who had been waiting for the opportunity flashed with brilliance. They took advantage of the moment when Lin Wei's old strength was exhausted and her new strength had not yet been generated, and she was seriously injured, and launched the final siege!
Several piercing sword energies and palm winds simultaneously struck at Lin Wei's vital points. A flicker of reluctance and determination flashed in Lin Wei's eyes. Gathering her last ounce of strength, she held the Liushuang Sword to her chest, ready for a final stand.
But her movements, under the combined siege of thirty Heavenly Realm masters, seemed so slow and powerless. Every movement seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, unable to exert its full power.
Lin Wei's eyes flashed with reluctance and determination. She gritted her teeth, mustered her last bit of strength, and held the Liushuang Sword to her chest, attempting a final stand. However, her body refused to obey her commands, and every movement became unusually slow and weak.
As thirty Heaven Realm masters joined forces to attack her, Lin Wei felt her physical and internal energy rapidly depleting. Her breathing became rapid, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and cheeks, and her face turned as pale as paper.
Despite her youth, she had already suffered multiple injuries in previous battles, and her Qi and Blood deficiency had become increasingly severe. At this moment, her body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, and no matter how hard she tried, she could hardly exert her full power.
Lin Wei's legs began to tremble, and her arms gradually lost strength. The Liushuang Sword became increasingly heavy in her hands, as if it weighed a thousand pounds. Her eyes gradually dimmed, and her heart was filled with despair.
Finally, under the fierce attack of the Heavenly Realm masters, Lin Wei's defense was broken. Her body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The Liushuang Sword also flew out of her hand and fell to the side.
Lin Wei lay on the ground, her eyes closed, her breath weak. Her consciousness gradually faded, as if the entire world had drifted away from her. At this moment, she felt extremely tired and powerless, and the resentment and determination in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Pfft!"
A sharp sound pierced the air, and a sword flashing with cold light came from the side like a venomous snake. Its speed was as fast as lightning, and its fierce momentum seemed to tear the entire space apart.
The tip of the sword accurately pierced Lin Wei's defense, as fast as lightning, and instantly stabbed into her throat!
The icy blade instantly pierced her skin, bringing a piercing chill. Her throat felt as if it had been ripped open, and blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain. The warm blood flowed like a red river, carrying the breath of life, quickly flowing away.
Lin Wei's body suddenly stiffened. Her eyes widened, the light in them rapidly dimming like a candle in the wind. She tried to make a sound, but only a hoarse whimper came out. Her lips trembled slightly as she tried to speak, but the blood gushing out of her throat blocked her throat.
Her breathing became rapid and difficult, and every breath she took was like a struggle against death. Her face gradually turned pale and bloodless. Her body began to tremble, as if she was struck down by an invisible force.
As the blood continued to flow, Lin Wei's consciousness gradually faded. Darkness began to appear before her eyes, as if the whole world was retreating away from her. Her heart was filled with fear and despair. She was unwilling to die like this, but she was powerless to do anything.
However, the attack was not over.
A massive winch crossbow burst through the air, whistling with a sharp sound, like a bolt of black lightning, piercing her back with uncanny precision. The crossbow bolt was incredibly powerful, easily piercing her naked back straight into her chest, piercing through her entire chest and leaving a hideous wound on her back!
"Uh……"
Lin Wei let out a meaningless sound, her voice filled with pain and despair. Her body could no longer support her, and her knees gave way, collapsing to the ground.
"boom!"
She fell heavily to her knees amidst the ruins of the shattered watchtower, stirring up a cloud of dust that seemed to be the final sigh of her life, slowly drifting down.
The Liushuang sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, its blade trembling slightly and emitting a mournful hum. The sound echoed in the air, as if expressing her unwillingness and regret. Then, the light quickly dimmed, and the Liushuang sword lost its former glory, as if it had lost its soul with the departure of its master.
The sword at her throat and the crossbow bolt in her back became the final marks of her death. Her eyes, wide open, stared fixedly at the gray sky, a lingering trace of endless hatred, resentment, and perhaps a trace of regret for an unfinished mission, or perhaps a reluctance to leave this world. However, nothing could be undone; her life ended at this moment. Disappointment in the betrayer.
Lin Wei, the once famous and peerless master of the heavenly realm, died in the chaos of the army, and turned into a gradually cold corpse.
In the Hanbei army formation, Zhao Tianlei's figure was hidden in the darkness. Looking at the white figure lying in the ruins, a cold and complacent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The plan...successfully worked.
