That sword immortal has returned!
He Jinqiu doesn't have X-ray vision, so he doesn't know which airship the Silver Duke is on, but... he can shoot down all those airships.
In just a few dozen breaths, one after another, airships fell from the sky.
At this moment, the Silver Duke in the fleet sensed something was wrong. He knew that if he continued to hide, he would surely die. He Jinqiu was risking his life!
The Silver Duke ordered: "Cloudy, Long Axle, Pretty, cover me! You all attack where the Joker is, force him to be distracted!"
Immediately afterwards, he ordered his transport airship: "Full speed ahead, get out of his flying sword's attack range!"
The next moment, the three airships stopped running and turned to rush towards the army troops.
He Jinqiu then saw a transport airship speeding up and fleeing north!
"go!"
The flying swords in the sky changed direction, cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and charged towards the three airships.
He Jinqiu shouted loudly, "Open a passage for me in the north!"
They didn't exchange a single unnecessary word. He didn't explain why he was doing it, nor how he was going to do it.
With just a simple command to open a passage for me in the north, Qing Chen actually stormed through and breached the positions of the northern army forces.
This is the tacit understanding and trust between comrades-in-arms.
Chapter 890, There Will Never Be Another He Jinqiu in This World
The northern position has been breached by Qing Chen.
He commanded five puppets to fight each other on the battlefield, and all the soldiers were terrified: the five puppets beside Qingchen were their commander!
With Qing Chen controlling five Black Knights single-handedly, who would dare to make a move?
At that moment, some officers even tried to 'wake them up,' shouting, 'Second Brother! Fourth Brother! We're on the same side! Don't kill us!'
But nowadays, the second and fourth sons don't care about any of that anymore.
Therefore, this moment of hesitation was enough to bring them a catastrophe!
Once on the battlefield, Qing Chen no longer used the Autumn Leaf Blade to fight.
The five black knights had exhausted their knightly energy, and most of the backs of their heads were bald.
Even Qing Chen's knightly aura was mostly depleted, rendering him unable to use wide-area attacks anymore.
The forbidden item, the 'power bank,' could instantly restore his mana, but it could only be used once a month. He had already used it in the claustrophobic elevator that transported the armored vehicle.
He changed his tactics after only a second of thought.
Qing Chen infused his knightly aura into the marionettes, and then he and five marionettes raced wildly through the crowd.
There was no need to do anything extra. He only needed to lead the five puppets around the battlefield once, and the battlefield behind him would be as if it had been plowed clean, neat and tidy.
This killing efficiency is too high, ridiculously high!
Moreover, after the knight's true energy condensed into clouds, it became terrifyingly sharp. When he passed by a soldier, he easily cut him in half at the waist and then sacrificed him to the marionette.
Therefore, the most terrifying thing about Qingchen after killing the enemy was that there was no blood, no corpses, nothing on the ground.
Those soldiers seemed to have vanished into thin air.
At this moment, He Jinqiu arrived and passed through the passage that Qing Chen had opened for him without hesitation.
He didn't even ask Qingchen if he could handle it, because he knew Qingchen definitely could.
In He Jinqiu's eyes, there was now only the transport airship in the sky. All the flying swords in other directions had returned. The nineteen flying swords formed a sword formation and flew towards the target like a torrent!
Inside the transport airship, the Silver Duke also sensed something was wrong. He immediately ordered the airship to descend; he wanted to go to the ground!
800 meters
600 meters
400 meters
He Jinqiu watched him try to save himself with a cold smile, but at this height of 400 meters, Jian Liu finally caught up!
But then, nineteen flying swords simultaneously pierced into the transport airship, shredding the power compartment and turbines inside!
The turbines on both sides of the transport airship exploded into fireballs with a deafening roar, burning up thick smoke in the sky as it plummeted downwards at an angle!
The nineteen flying swords did not return after destroying the airship. He Jinqiu controlled them to fly into the ship's cabin to find the Silver Duke!
The ship's hold had completely tilted, and the soldiers inside were slammed heavily against the side wall of the airship.
However, the Silver Duke stood steadily on the ship's deck floor, as if the swaying ship and gravity did not exist.
Nineteen flying swords hurtled towards him, but the Silver Duke sneered, "You're at your limit, even the flying swords are slow. What makes you think you can kill me?"
His figure left countless afterimages in place, and he found the flying sword trajectories that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Nineteen crisp clanging sounds of metal clashing rang out from inside the ship's hold. The Silver Duke had actually deflected the attack of the nineteen flying swords by channeling his knightly true energy into his fingertips with his bare hands.
With a flick of the fingertip, cracks appeared on all those heart swords and bone swords!
He Jinqiu, who was on the ground, suddenly felt a tremendous force backlash against him. He felt a jolt throughout his body, and the pain was so intense that he could hardly breathe.
The Heart Sword and Bone Sword are connected to the sword cultivator himself; if they are injured, the sword cultivator himself will also be injured.
He Jinqiu was shocked.
Knights and demigods have always been the pinnacle of one-on-one combat, with the Silver Duke's attacks being wide-ranging and swift as lightning.
Even flying swords are not as fast as him, even though the Silver Duke's power is only 80% of Li Shutong's!
He Jinqiu was utterly exhausted.
The problem is... now is the best time to kill the Silver Duke.
He Jinqiu calmly maneuvered the nineteen flying swords backward, confronting the Silver Duke inside the ship's hold.
He wanted to find the opponent's weakness and wait for the moment when the opponent lost balance during the airship's descent.
But this Silver Duke was extremely fierce. Even though the airship was tilted at a full 60 degrees, he still stood firmly on the floor, without moving an inch!
This is the fighting instinct that this knight demigod has honed relentlessly over hundreds of years, an instinct as fierce as a wild beast!
He Jinqiu watched as the transport airship descended from an altitude of 400 meters to 130 meters.
The airship is about to crash. If he can just drag the Silver Duke into the airship, the man will surely die!
At this moment, the Silver Duke coldly looked at the hovering flying sword in front of him and immediately understood He Jinqiu's plan.
He sneered, then vanished from the spot, reappearing beside the hatch.
Nineteen flying swords swept over again, but the Silver Duke did not rush to jump out; it seemed that he had been waiting for this moment.
But then his arms shot out like lightning several times, and the clanging sound rang out again, but this time it wasn't nineteen times, but twenty!
Before He Jinqiu could find his weakness, his opponent had already found it... the Ninth Heart Sword!
The ninth Heart Sword was originally crafted late, and it was only after He Jinqiu arrived at Whale Island and acquired the Purple Orchid Star that it was finally finished.
Moreover, when the city of number 10 was plagued by rats, he held on until the ninth Heart Sword developed cracks in order to stop the rat horde.
Now, just one month has passed, and although the cracks in the ninth Heart Sword are no longer visible, they have not been completely repaired.
The Silver Duke had precisely found this flaw in the blink of an eye.
But then he channeled his knightly aura into his fingertips and flicked the sword hilt twice in succession!
With a loud bang, the ninth Heart Sword shattered, turning the nineteenth Heart Sword into eighteen. He Jinqiu, who was on the ground, suddenly staggered and spat out a mouthful of blood!
At this moment, the airship had reached an altitude of 20 meters. Taking advantage of this instant, the Silver Duke leaped from the emergency exit on the side of the airship.
But his face contorted in a ferocious expression, and the muscles in his legs suddenly bulged out with tremendous power.
With this leap, he managed to counteract the enormous inertia of the fall, and he jumped out of the airship at an angle!
Not far away, the transport airship exploded in a huge burst of fire the moment it made contact with the ground.
The Silver Duke rolled on the ground more than ten times before regaining his balance and slowly getting up.
He didn't die!
Even though He Jinqiu shot down the transport airship from an altitude of 800 meters, it still couldn't kill him!
He Jinqiu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and continued forward!
The Silver Duke dusted himself off, feeling a slight fracture in his left shinbone and a strained cruciate ligament in his knee, which was throbbing with pain.
With a grim expression, he turned to look in the direction of Silver City, where the royal fleet was located. Since the Fate Master had come, he must have brought enough power to kill him.
This place is not safe to stay any longer; he can't go back to Silver City.
The Silver Duke turned to leave, only to find He Jinqiu already standing in his path: "You can't leave."
The Silver Duke narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Fate Masters are coming. They have destroyed the defenses of Silver City and will come looking for you and me immediately."
He Jinqiu shook her head: "I don't care."
The Silver Duke tried to leave from another direction, but the eighteen flying swords, like chains chasing after a soul, clung to him relentlessly: "Then I'll kill you first."
He had already discerned He Jinqiu's true strength; the opponent was indeed no match for him!
The opponent's previous attack that pierced through the aerial fortress had actually consumed too much of their mental strength.
If the aerial fortress is likened to a demigod, then He Jinqiu is fighting two demigods alone today!
This is unrealistic.
The Silver Duke sneered, "I believe you are aware of the difference in our strength, yet you still dared to chase after me... Aren't you afraid of death?"
He Jinqiu smiled and shook his head: "So in your opinion, if you can't beat someone, you should stay far away?"
"Why bother?" the Silver Duke asked.
He Jinqiu shook his head again: "Qin Sheng, a knight from the Eastern Continent, did not run away when facing a million-strong army of AI. He knew he would die, but he went in and out of the battlefield ten times, and brought back the Second Regiment of the First Division of the Northwest Army from the AI legion."
"Eastern Continent Knight Li Yingyun did not run away when facing a million-strong army of AI. He led ten knights from the rear of the battlefield to destroy an enemy artillery unit and save a city in the northwest."
"Qing Chen, a knight from the Eastern Continent, faced a million-strong rat horde in City 10. He knew he might die if he returned to the city, yet he rescued 6,130 people without sleep for three days. He knew that the city had become an abandoned city and could be bombarded by the Li and Chen families at any time, yet he still did not leave."
