Gu Sheng’s footsteps echoed, yet the man didn’t bother to raise his head. After a moment, the swordsman placed the boy’s corpse aside, revealing his true face.
A distinctive black mole on his lower lip.
It was none other than Xiong Jianmei.
He slowly stood up, looked at Gu Sheng, and spoke with a voice void of any surprise.
"Executioner?"
"Yes."
The swordsman said in a low tone, "Good. To thank you for not interrupting my time with Xiao Nian earlier, I can leave your corpse intact."
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and grinned, saying:
"So confident?"
"The last executioner who died at my hands said the same thing."
The massive axe behind Gu Sheng somehow slid into his hands, and gripping it with both hands, Gu Sheng’s aura grew even fiercer. The distant onlookers couldn’t help but feel their hearts clench.
"Unfortunately, I can’t afford to leave your corpse intact. I need your head."
Gu Sheng grinned widely, his facial muscles twitching, making him appear ferocious and sinister.
"If you have the guts, come take it!"
Xiong Jianmei’s gaze tightened as he sensed waves of oppressive force emanating from the brawny man. The moment his words fell, the longsword at his waist rang out with a sharp clang as it unsheathed instantly, its cold edge gleaming with light, faintly laced with a metallic stench of blood.
This was also a ruthless man.
Once annihilating entire clans, shouldering countless lives, and even disregarding the bounty issued for executioners. ƒreewebɳovel.com
He pressed off the ground with the tip of his foot, and his diminutive figure shot forth like an arrow. The treasured sword in his hand was noticeably shorter than average, more fitting for his frame and swordsmanship.
"Xiong Jianmei’s swordsmanship is renowned for its eerie speed, and his strength ranks among the top in the Jade Skin Realm."
Gu Sheng recalled Xiong Jianmei’s details from his intelligence file, yet his actions showed no hesitation.
The colossal axe, weighing a full 108 jin, swung in his hands as if it were a mere toy. The blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistle, striking toward Xiong Jianmei.
No matter how bizarre your swordsmanship.
Gu Sheng’s axe strike would shatter it completely.
In Gu Sheng’s perspective, Xiong Jianmei seemed to have transformed into a chunk of wood, triggering distant memories. ’Patterns’ emerged — those were the flaws in his swordsmanship.
Chopping people as though chopping wood!
Gu Sheng’s eyes widened with ferocity, his enormous axe parrying the sword and swinging down forcefully.
The broad axe blade crashed down with a deafening roar. For the first time, the First-Level Chopping Wood technique showcased an unprecedented sharpness!
Even without utilizing the Qi Blood Power, the sheer physical strength combined with the monstrous axe’s ferocity was horrifying enough. A strong sense of exhilaration filled Gu Sheng’s eyes—it was incomparable to fighting foes with the Iron Stone Fist. This weapon unleashed his deeply ingrained thirst for battle!
Xiong Jianmei’s expression shifted drastically, his eyes flashing with horror.
The massive axe scraped past his body, leaving a visible blood mark. Had he not retreated swiftly, he might have been cleaved in two by this brute. His heart thudded violently, chills trailing up his spine—treading into uncharted levels of caution!
