P.S. Thanks to reader Cangliang Yese for the 10,000 Qidian Coins tip.
The monsters around them kept surging forward without end. Innate Formless Sword Qi erupted around Su Xin, turning everything within several hundred zhang of him into a field of death.
Innate Formless Sword Qi was unparalleled against groups: its range was vast, and its consumption of true qi remained within Su Xin's limits. This was especially true when facing monsters whose strength was actually nothing special.
That was only true for Su Xin, however. For everyone else, things were different.
Although these monsters had no true qi in their bodies, and no one knew what kept them alive, their physical bodies were incredibly hard, like iron.
And though they had human shapes, they had lost any semblance of intelligence. They were practically a horde of puppets, throwing themselves at everyone without the slightest fear of death. This put the others under tremendous pressure.
Sword qi poured down in great swaths, slicing the monsters to pieces. Strangely, though, hardly any blood flowed from their bodies. They were filled with a disgusting, sticky, blackish-yellow fluid.
After cutting through the horde, Su Xin drew the Flying Blood Sword from his waist and smashed one of the sword formations, retrieving the treasured texts inside.
As if strolling through a garden, Su Xin struck again and again, claiming three more manuals and a Sword Pellet left behind by a Yang Spirit Realm expert. The others watched with gritted teeth, consumed by jealousy.
Unfortunately, none of them possessed the sort of martial prowess that could both kill enemies one-on-one and dominate in a group fight. All they could do was slowly grind down the monsters.
The Heavenly Court and the Underworld did have people like Su Xin.
