Misty Forest (3)
Within the territory of the Jinshan Kingdom, seven or eight hundred cultivators can be mobilized. Who else but Pu Taidong, the master of this place, could command fourteen late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts at once?
While within the territory of the Great Yang Kingdom, Pu Taidong, mindful of his relationship with Huo Zongming, did not send anyone deep into the country. Instead, he deployed a large number of people to block the border between the two countries, silently guarding the area. As long as Yue Qianchou came this way, he would not escape their sight.
To their relief, Yue Qianchou was truly capable; he had actually escaped from the heavily besieged Dayang City and made it here—it was nothing short of a miracle. Since Heaven had so readily offered this gift, how could they let him slip away again? Of course not!
The leader was Bai Meng, Pu Taidong's eldest disciple. He secretly resolved not to miss this opportunity and to personally present the two precious swords to his master. With a wave of his hand, two hundred disciples surrounded them and quickly stopped the dozen or so people who were entangled with Yue Qianchou.
"Fellow practitioners of the Pashuo Kingdom, step aside, or don't blame us for being impolite." These words came from Dian Youming, Bai Meng's eldest disciple. Circumstances dictated his words; with his master leading a large force behind him, his words carried immense confidence.
Those guys who had been harassing Yue Qianchou all changed their expressions, realizing that the situation was beyond their control. They all stopped and dared not make any further moves.
They were cultivators from the Pashuo Kingdom, and this time they had mobilized nearly a hundred people, including five or six experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. However, the top experts were not in this direction, and by the time they arrived, it would probably be too late. But there was no other way; it was better than sending them to their deaths. It was just a pity for the dozen or so fellow disciples who had been killed by Yue Qianchou earlier.
Yue Qianchou narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint in them. Although he saw that the dozen or so people could teleport, realizing they were experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm, he didn't slow down and continued charging forward. The Misty Forest, shimmering with dreamlike colors, was right behind them. Once they got through, they would have a foothold and could play with them at their leisure.
"Hmph! He's courting death." Bai Meng waved his hand again and said, "Stop him before the others arrive, and finish this quickly! Delay might cause unforeseen complications!"
The five or six hundred cultivators behind them surged forward, and in an instant, flying swords rained down, silver threads and lightning roared wildly, weaving a magnificent silver net that swept away the enemy. Even though Yue Qianchou possessed a thousand flying swords, he was certainly at a disadvantage against five or six hundred individually controlled swords. Focusing on controlling just one sword was definitely better than trying to control a thousand at once.
"Gah gah..." Yue Qianchou continued his frenzied charge against the hundreds of flying swords, his face contorted with rage. He let out a sinister laugh. The madness that inevitably erupted under pressure was fully revealed as he charged forward fearlessly.
When he was still nearly a hundred meters away from the flying sword opposite him, he suddenly spread his arms wide and roared, "Star Flame Fire Art!"
At this point, there's no way to back down, unless we retreat to our utopia. But today is destined for a showdown, so why shrink back? If we wanted to run, we would have done so long ago. Since the other side is determined to drive us to our doom, there's no need for us to pretend to be kind. From today onward, it's a fight to the death... Those who are afraid to die, step aside; those who aren't, keep playing until the very end!
"Boom..." A storm of azure suddenly exploded, and azure flames surged forth uncontrollably, spreading rapidly. The scorching heat instantly filled all directions. Hundreds of flying swords flashed back into the flames and disappeared without a trace.
A massive, bright blue light shone between heaven and earth. Although the group had heard of this guy's abilities, seeing it in person was utterly shocking. They couldn't imagine how a single person could store such a vast amount of flame. Those surrounding them were startled, involuntarily retreating under the intense heat.
Five or six hundred flying swords rushing towards them were instantly engulfed by the rolling blue flames. The expressions of those five or six hundred people changed simultaneously. As soon as the flying swords entered the sea of fire, they immediately lost contact with them, seemingly disarmed in an instant. Faced with the rolling blue flames, the five or six hundred people had no choice but to retreat.
"Use your sword energy to break his fire!" Bai Meng shouted, because everyone already knew that Chu Dingfang's sword energy had broken the azure fire, and it was clear that the sword energy was not afraid of the high temperature of the azure fire. Fourteen experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage flashed forward, and fourteen towering longswords appeared, intending to shred the rolling azure fire cloud.
"No!" came Xin Lao San's mournful cry from afar. He had clearly seen the fourteen towering swords and recognized that the fourteen people were experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. The fate of Yue Qianchou, with fourteen late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm experts Yue Qianchou, was unimaginable.
"You want to break my Azure Flame? I'll break your Sword Qi!" Yue Qianchou, amidst the Azure Flame, flicked his sleeves, and slick black shadows kept flashing out from his sleeves, gathering and swirling in front of him.
The instant the fourteen towering swords cleaved down, Yue Qianchou thrust out both palms and shouted, "Kill!"
Fourteen enormous, transparent sword beams, carrying a strong wind, slashed down, and just as they pierced through the azure flames, a dense swarm of black shadows suddenly shot out from within the flames like lightning...
What does it mean to be utterly devastating, invincible, and unstoppable? Today, Yue Qianchou's Black Fire flying sword will give a spectacular demonstration to Pu Taidong, a master at the mid Spirit Transformation stage.
Back then, Yue Qianchou relied on the Black Fire flying sword to defeat two late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending experts in the battle of Wanghai Town, Huaxia. He beat them so badly that they had no way to use their strength. From then on, Yue Qianchou regarded the Black Fire flying sword as his most precious treasure, a trump card he would never use lightly unless absolutely necessary. His secret weapon was to ensure that when he used it, it would be deadly!
Now, everyone in the Cultivation World wants to drive him to his death. A murderous intent surged within him. Since the world has betrayed me, why should I feign compassion... Kill!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh... hiss hiss hiss..."
Dense as rain, black shadows flashed by... The fourteen sword energies crumbled in an instant, collapsing without a trace, collapsing so suddenly that even the fourteen late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending experts couldn't believe it. Their pupils contracted sharply as they witnessed countless black dots shooting towards them... all of them were pure black flying swords! Incredibly sharp, shattering the sword energies as easily as cutting paper...
Among the fourteen late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending experts, several reacted swiftly, their protective Gang Qi surging forth instantly to deflect the incoming flying swords. Bai Meng caught a glimpse of this out of the corner of his eye and was immediately shocked. If these black flying swords could break through sword auras so easily, then their protective Gang Qi, no matter how strong, would likely be no problem to break through them too!
"The flying sword is strange, don't try to withstand it!" Bai Meng shouted as he quickly took to the air. Several others who hadn't set up protective Gang Qi also noticed something amiss and quickly followed suit.
In that split second, when life and death were decided, it was too late for the five late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts, who were protected by protective Gang Qi, to back down. With their protective Gang Qi preventing them from teleporting, they barely managed to spring into the air before letting out five piercing screams of agony.
The protective Gang Qi was instantly pierced by the dense barrage of flying swords. It had no effect whatsoever in terms of defense. The five people's bodies trembled wildly in the air, riddled with holes by the flying swords, and then fell straight to the ground like kites with broken strings.
However, before the bodies even hit the ground, they were engulfed by the surging blue flames, and they would never be seen again, not even ashes.
"Seventh Junior Brother... Third Junior Brother... Ninth Junior Brother..." The nine Bai Meng who had just jumped into the air all cried out in anguish.
Just then, five more late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts appeared, the very same people who had stopped Xin Lao San from attacking earlier. These five were the top experts from the Pashuo Kingdom who had come this time. They quickly steadied themselves and stopped in mid-air, exchanging bewildered glances...
They had witnessed the scene firsthand: the azure flames surged and roared, the black sword rain raged and slaughtered, instantly killing five late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts. Although they were not familiar with the five who had died, they had met them before.
The five who died were all at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage, just like them, and their numbers were the same. The five men were terrified and dared not rush forward again; it was better to observe first.
Xin Lao San, who had followed closely behind, also stopped beside the five people, staring at everything in disbelief, his mind still reeling... Good heavens! This kid killed five late Tribulation Transcendence stage Transcending experts in one fell swoop!
The five or six hundred fellow disciples who witnessed it were stunned into silence. How could this be? In the blink of an eye, five experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm were gone?
"Run!" someone shouted in the crowd, and everyone scattered in panic...
For no other reason than that the black sword rain, after killing five people, didn't stop for a second. First, it scattered, seemingly intending to pursue Bai Meng and his nine companions, then suddenly changed direction and fiercely surrounded the remaining five or six hundred. The scene...
The five or six hundred men were immediately terrified. They had just been disarmed by Qinghuo and weren't even holding their weapons. They were still stunned by what had just happened when this was suddenly done to them – it was truly a death sentence!
They weren't without a way out. The way out lay behind them... Misty Forest shimmering with mesmerizing colors. But for them, what difference was there between that and having no way out at all?
In an instant, everyone took out whatever they could possibly need from their Storage Bag to defend themselves...
"Hehe..." A sinister laugh echoed from the azure sea of flames as countless black flying swords swarmed out in a frenzied attack...
In an instant, the heart-wrenching wails sent chills down one's spine, and the bloody massacre was so gruesome that it would give one nightmares; it could only be described as horrific...
None of their weapons could withstand the devastating force of the black flying swords. When this black sword net descended, aside from the nearly one hundred who reacted quickly and escaped, the remaining four or five hundred were all killed—limbs severed, flesh and blood flying everywhere...
"Yue Qianchou! Stop..." Bai Meng clenched his fists and shouted at the top of his lungs, using all his strength to stop.
