Chapter 292 - The Emperor and the Talent of All Times (1/2)

“Tianming!”

“Chihiro!”

All the onlookers were terrified. They reached out their hands and tried to support them. Just then, a golden hand appeared and carried the two.

“Are you OK?” Zhao Feige stepped forward and asked.

“Relax, Ying Zheng knew what he was doing. If he intended to kill us, none of us could have survived up to now.”

“They’re just some wounds. We’ll heal ourselves soon. I was trying harder because that’s the only way I could counter the strikes.”

“Their primordial spirits will be fine. They were merely affected by my sword intent.”

Ying Zheng said slowly. He took Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro to Chu He because he could tell that the young man was a healer. Ying Zheng wanted to see how quickly Chu He could heal.

“Woo!”

Chu He played a beautiful melody with his flute. Tao principles emerged in the air and surrounded the unconscious couple, to take care of their ghastly wounds.

Those large wounds seemed to be made by a terrifying claw. They were so deep that the bones had been exposed.

That strike nearly took out their guts. Fortunately, Ying Zheng had restrained his attack, or they would have been cut into pieces.

“Ugh!”

Moments later, just as Ying Zheng intended, Chu He cured and awakened the two.

“Thank you for having mercy on us!”

“We’ll always remember that!”

As soon as Feng Tianming and Chihiro woke up, they thanked Ying Zheng for his instruction.

“If you really want to thank me, put my words into action. You should learn from the wounds; discover your disadvantages and correct your mistakes!” said Ying Zheng as he scolded them.

“You’re right.”

Feng Tianming and Chihiro bowed their heads. The others were still confused. They tried to figure out what mistakes they had made during the fight just then.

“You still don’t know it yet?”

Wang Bugui looked at those people with his arms crossed in front of his chest. Seeing the confused faces of his friends, he nodded and said, “Their mistakes were simple but critical.”

“Firstly, Tianming should combine his sword with swordsman Taoism. His sword potential disappeared just then, but he didn’t rebuild it in time; instead, he rushed to Ying Zheng without thinking.

“His Sword Core wasn’t stable yet. He wanted to be fast, but at the same time, he dedicated himself to killing. You should be focused when wielding a sword, or you would shave off the minuscule chance to defeat your enemy.

“Secondly, to cooperate with Tianming, Chihiro performed as the assassin. She charged at my face just now and gave up the best way to assist Feng Tianming.

“She moved before she found my weak point, but her swordsmanship was typically a “momentary slash.” How could she slash Ying Zheng momentarily without knowing his weak point?”

His question went straight to the point. Feng Tianming and Misawa Chihiro lowered her heads and blushed.

Wang Bugui didn’t finish talking yet. He pointed at the two and said, “You’re lucky that he was merciful, or you could’ve been killed. The last thing is your sword power.

“Tianming, why didn’t you instill your sword power into Ying Zheng? And Chihiro, you focused on killing intent and forgot your sword power. You have to make a change!”

Feng Tianming and Chihiro felt deeply ashamed because their mistakes were indeed simple but deadly. Those were usually beginner’s mistakes.

Perhaps they were a little nervous when facing the greatest emperor of all time. No matter how talented they are, they still feared him.

Ying Zhen outshone numerous geniuses in a thousand-year span. He was so powerful that when he ruled the country, nobody dared to go against him.

They would have felt stressed anyway, because apparently they were no match for Ying Zheng at the moment. Although what they faced was just some residue of his primordial spirit, it was more than easy for him to kill them.

“Ying Zheng is so powerful. He didn’t even release his sword power, nor have we seen his sword intent and killing aura. He defeated Tianming and Chihiro so easily!” Yu Wude exclaimed.

Wang Bugui turned around his head and explained it to everyone, “Of course he released his sword power, but he was controlling it in such a subtle way that it was all used to counter Tianming and Chihiro’s swordsmanship. As for his killing aura, it was used at the very early stage, or their killing aura wouldn’t have been suppressed.”

Then Yu Wude frowned and said, “But we didn’t feel his killing aura. We could have sensed it when it was first released.”

Zhao Yun shook his head and noted, “Just look around, and see what the killing aura has done.”

Everyone craned over and were surprised to find that the clouds around them had disappeared completely.

“This…”

Zhao Changge and the others were open-mouthed, in complete silence. All the clouds above Juyongguan were gone. The stars seemed to have darkened a little on the dark sky.

“That’s the real supreme killing aura. It came out and affected heaven and earth. Ying Zheng released it around us so that other people wouldn’t get hurt. But still, the killing aura dispelled the clouds.”
