The Vicious Weapon Emerges
Although he didn't know exactly how dangerous the so-called murder weapon was, or whether he could handle it, since Yi Xuan already knew about it, it was necessary to nip the Gazing Immortal Sect's plan in the bud.
When Sect Leader Liu of the Gazing Immortal Sect finds out that his fifty-year plan has been nipped in the bud, his expression will surely be quite something, won't it?
Thinking about it this way, Yi Xuan suddenly felt that the damage caused to him by the destruction of his courtyard was much less.
So Yi Xuan began to gather the drones that were closer to the cave, leaving only a small number along the way to act as signal relays for these drones.
"Butler! How's it going? How many ornithopter aircraft can you gather?"
"Boss, all the drones sent to explore the Stone Mountain area have been assembled, with only a small number left behind as signal relays. There are now 327 ornithopter drones available!"
Yi Xuan nodded, observing the situation inside the cave. "Gather around the cave entrance. Don't let the two guards outside spot you. Await my orders!"
At this moment, it was as if an earthquake was occurring inside the cave. The stone floor began to crack, and rocks were constantly being violently jolted about by the force.
Yi Xuan dared not be careless in the slightest, as the so-called peerless weapon was clearly about to emerge from the ground. Meanwhile, the array above was still pressing down, and had already incorporated the blood mist from the previous Qi disciple's explosion into itself.
The array diagram is now emitting an eerie red light, looking somewhat sinister. The red light illuminates everyone in the cave, turning their faces crimson and giving them a bloodthirsty feeling.
"It's coming! It's about to come! Watch closely, the rise of my Gazing Immortal Sect is about to begin!" The leader of the group, a disciple surnamed Qian, seemed to have lost his mind as he watched the scene before him, shouting wildly.
The expressions of the people behind him also seemed off; they were all beaming with excitement.
"Uh!" Yi Xuan, watching this scene on the screen, was speechless. The excited expressions on these guys' faces reminded Yi Xuan of a certain project in his previous life, the kind of project that claimed to invest tens of thousands of yuan and reap ten million yuan in three years.
Yi Xuan had the opportunity to attend a few classes, and the students there, after hearing the teacher's grand vision, behaved much like these people, becoming extremely excited.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Three muffled thuds, like the beating of a human heart, suddenly appeared in Yi Xuan's ears.
That's right, it wasn't a sound transmitted via signal, but something that Yi Xuan truly heard.
At the same time, all the disciples of the Southern Frontier in the Artifact Ruins heard this voice.
The previous frenzied atmosphere on the screen was gone; instead, it was eerily quiet.
Then, the handle of a weapon slowly emerged from the ground.
Seeing this, everyone in the cave didn't dare to breathe, just watching, their faces covered in sweat from the tension, but no one dared to make a move.
As the weapon rose, Yi Xuan finally saw its full form.
It was a long sword. Yi Xuan thought about it and felt that this sword was very similar to the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in Lord Guan's hand.
However, it is somewhat different in that the knife is entirely black and occasionally emits an eerie red light.
The grand formation above seemed to sense the appearance of the greatsword, and actually emitted a joyful emotion, Yi Xuan could feel even through the screen.
The greatsword, sensing the array above, seemed like a lecherous wolf eyeing a beautiful woman, its desire stirring.
Yi Xuan knew that it was time for him to make his move; if he waited any longer, he might miss the best opportunity.
"Butler!"
"Boss! What are your orders?"
"Mobilize all standby ornithopters, activate self-destruct mode, and charge into the cave at full speed. The target is that giant sword!"
"Clear!"
The two disciples of the Gazing Immortal Sect who were guarding the cave also heard the sounds inside and knew that the situation inside had reached a critical moment, so they focused their attention even more intently.
Did you hear anything?
"I think I hear that! That voice sounds so familiar!"
"Yes, but why is it getting bigger and bigger?"
"It's a bird, the sound of a bird flapping its wings!"
Before the two could finish speaking, a scene they had never witnessed in their lives appeared before their eyes.
Suddenly, flocks of birds rose from the foot of the mountain, each one quite large, forming a dense, net-like mass as they flew towards the two.
"What's going on?"
The two were so shocked by what they saw that they didn't know what to say, and their bodies froze, unable to move.
The flock of birds quickly closed in on the cave entrance, and the two disciples had no time to make a move.
The flock of birds suddenly swooped towards the cave behind them, and the ornithopters that struck them exploded around them like bombs.
The self-destruct bombs of these ornithopters weren't very powerful, and it would be difficult to harm a cultivator who had reached the Grain Avoidance Perfection. However, their numerical advantage still kept the two of them busy and flustered.
The remaining ornithopters took this opportunity to rush into the cave, like a series of sharp arrows exploding into a giant sword.
The seven people in the cave never expected that such a thing would happen when everything was about to succeed. However, because the sect leader had previously explained the ferocity of the great sword, the group wanted to step forward to stop it, but they held back due to the intimidating power of the peerless weapon.
As the ornithopters exploded one after another, the entire cave was filled with smoke from the explosions, and the ground was littered with the wreckage of the ornithopters.
"Boss, all drones have self-destructed!"
Hearing the Butler's words, Yi Xuan nodded to indicate that he understood, but he dared not take his eyes off the screen, keeping a close eye on the direction of the large sword through the high-definition cameras of the two quadruped robots.
As the smoke cleared, the Gazing Immortal Sect disciples, who had also been intently watching the direction of the broadsword, finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Yi Xuan shook his head helplessly.
It's not that our army is incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too fierce.
Surprisingly, the self-destruction of hundreds of ornithopters had no effect on the murder weapon.
At this moment, the greatsword had made contact with the array it desired. When the array touched the tip of the sword, it instantly transformed into a soft blanket, completely enveloping the entire greatsword and slowly merging into it.
In that instant, all seven disciples of the Gazing Immortal Sect inside the cave knelt down, demonstrating just how terrifying the aura of this deadly blade was.
Then a figure dressed in red slowly appeared next to the murder weapon. His figure became more and more solid, until he was no different from the others.
The disciple surnamed Qian, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up and saw the man. His eyes widened in surprise, but then his face lit up with joy. "Junior Brother Qi!"
Hearing someone call his name, the man gripped the hilt of his knife tightly and opened his eyes.
Yi Xuan had never seen such evil eyes before; they were a gaze that completely disregarded everything, showing no emotion even towards his fellow disciples.
"Hehehehe... Hahahaha... Junior Brother Qi? You bunch of ants, die!"
The camaraderie among the fellow disciples seemed to have vanished into thin air. The newly recruited disciple surnamed Qi raised his broadsword high, ready to finish off everyone in the cave!
