As a long-distance attacker with such sturdy armor, Guo Ran didn’t need to worry about sneak attacks. He was fast and nimble, making him the best choice for directing their side.
“Bastard, who are you calling cannon fodder?!”
Guo Ran’s voice was amplified by his armor, giving it a metallic sound. But it resounded throughout every corner of the battlefield, and as a result, he enraged the Corrupt experts.
“He was talking about you!”
When both armies clashed, the Dragonblood warriors charged through the midst of the Foundation Forging disciples. Both sides were at the Foundation Forging realm, and seeing the other side, they pounced on each other, their eyes red.
In just the first instant, the Corrupt experts began to fall in huge numbers. They were shocked to find that these fellows were completely crazy. They refused to fight properly and instead launched suicidal moves.
Each of their moves was one that exchanged their own life for the lives of others. Even the Corrupt path, famed for their viciousness, wouldn’t start a battle like this. Although they also did the same thing sometimes, that was only when there was no other option, not right at the start of a fight. Were these Dragonblood warriors crazy? The Corrupt experts were struck dumb for a moment.
“Why can’t you fight properly?!” roared one of the Corrupt experts right before dying, expressing his final thoughts.
Who launched a suicidal attack right at the start of a battle? How else could you describe these people other than crazy?
“Bastards, who’s afraid of fighting like that? We can do the same thing!” roared one of the Corrupt experts. Continuing like this wasn’t an option.
Although they numbered over thirty thousand, which was three times the number of the Dragonblood Legion, they’d sooner or later be slaughtered to the last by these madmen. Right now, they had to compete in terms of who was crazier, and who was more ruthless.
Blood splashed. Limbs flew through the air.
“Fuck, how can they all have King item armor?!” roared one of the Corrupt experts. As both sides fought crazily, the Corrupt side realized that each of the Dragonblood warriors was wearing a powerful set of armor. As long as they protected their heads, they were extremely difficult to kill.
“They even have wood attribute experts assisting them! Fucking kill them first!” The Corrupt experts almost went insane from fury. After sacrificing a dozen people, one of them finally managed to heavily injure one of the Dragonblood warriors. The Corrupt expert was just about to launch a fatal attack when a green light fell upon that warrior, completely revitalizing him.
Long Chen had placed special importance on grooming these healing warriors. After leaving the Grand Xia, he had sent the Heavenly Dao Fruits he had gathered in the Four Nations Ancient Remnant to the Huayun Sect, who had sent them to the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Now all these healing warriors were rank seven Celestials, and their wood energy became even purer. Adding on what they had gained from the Xuantian Catalog, their healing abilities had made huge advances. Any injury received by a Dragonblood warrior, whether internal or external, could be healed instantly.
The Dragonblood warriors clashed with the Corrupt path’s Foundation Forging disciples. Despite the numbers disparity, the Dragonblood warriors had terrifying killing power, and they slaughtered their way through the Corrupt Foundation Forging disciples, forcing them to retreat miserably over and over again.
Further away was the battle of the Soul Transformation experts. This battlefield was chaotic. The Corrupt path’s side was composed of only Soul Transformation experts, while the Xuantian Dao Sect had people in the Soul Transformation realm, Jade Core realm, and Foundation Forging realm.
Although Guo Ran’s initial attack had killed over seventy of them, the Corrupt path’s side still had over four hundred Soul Transformation experts. As for the Xuantian Dao Sect, they only had just over eighty Soul Transformation experts.
However, they had over seven hundred Jade Core Kings. They were the elites of the Xuantian Dao Sect with great power.
Other than them, there was Meng Qi, Tang Wan-er, and the others representing the Foundation Forging disciples. They were the strongest members of this generation of the Xuantian Dao Sect.
“Kill that soul cultivator!” The Corrupt experts made Meng Qi their number one target. She was too dangerous.
In just the first clash, Meng Qi had once more unleashed her soul arts, and as a result, several people had been affected by her soul arts and killed by others.
“Die, slut!”
One of the Corrupt Soul Transformation experts broke through the blockade of the Kings to reach Meng Qi, slamming a palm down.
“You’re the one who should die, old ghost!” A furious roar rang out, followed by a huge spiked club.
The Corrupt Soul Transformation expert was startled. He had clearly passed everyone and hadn’t sensed any more powerful auras.
BOOM!
That Soul Transformation expert’s protective runes were as weak as paper in front of that spiked club. He directly exploded on contact, and his soul dissipated. He was killed in one blow.
Behind the huge club was an even larger giant. Even in death, that Corrupt expert would never imagine that there would be someone who didn’t cultivate spiritual yuan and had no cultivation base aura, but could still smash him to death with a club.
“Corrupt path bastards who bully my brother Long, all of you can die!” roared Wilde. The blood-colored lines in his face lit up, and those lines stretched down his neck, his arms, and his legs.
It was like a sleeping monster had awakened within Wilde’s body. Silver spots began to appear all over his bronze skin.
Just at this time, another Soul Transformation expert attacked, and Wilde smashed his club at him, sending him flying. That expert hacked up blood violently.
Wilde was now like a Magical Beast in human form. Smashing his huge spiked club around, he charged into the midst of the Corrupt Soul Transformation experts.
They were alarmed and hastily went to block him. But no matter who tried to stop him, they would be blown back by a smash of his club. There was even one unlucky fellow whose King item sword shattered into fragments and pierced his own body.
“We need reinforcements here to handle this big dumb brat!”
Seven Corrupt Soul Transformation experts flew at Wilde at the same time. With a furious roar that sounded like it came from a Magical Beast, Wilde unleashed a tempest of attacks with his spiked club. Like a rolling boulder, he smashed through the Corrupt Soul Transformation experts.
Just as Wilde drew everyone’s attention, a Corrupt Soul Transformation expert snuck his way behind Meng Qi. Wielding a pitch-black claw, he silently stretched out toward Meng Qi’s heart.
Meng Qi turned a blind eye to his attack. Forming hand seals, she was completely focused on the clashing Soul Transformation experts.
After all, they were the main force. As long as she affected the enemy experts even slightly, the Xuantian Dao Sect’s Soul Transformation experts could take that chance to kill their opponents. That would make the difference between both sides rapidly decrease, and this was the only way to avoid huge casualties amongst the Kings.
That Corrupt expert thought that Meng Qi hadn’t sensed him, and he smiled sinisterly.
“Sharp Wind Rends the Moon!”
Just as he was preparing to attack, a cold cry rang out that caused his expression to change. His whole body shook, and when he turned back, he saw a man slowly sheathing his sword behind his back.
Chapter 1291 The Sword Returns to the Source
The sound of a sword returning to its sheath was very clear. But the Corrupt expert felt like his heart had been smashed by a hammer.
Following that, the world suddenly split apart. He was shocked. Just what kind of magical art was this?
He suddenly understood something right before his vision turned forever dark.
Two halves of his body fell from th
e sky. Before they touched the ground, Yue Zifeng had already shot off toward another Corrupt Soul Transformation expert.
“Watch out, he’s a sword cultivator! He can ignore the cultivation base difference!” warned a Corrupt Soul Transformation expert.
But it was already too late. Yue Zifeng’s sword once more came out of its sheath, flashing through the air. Another Soul Transformation expert was cut in half. Even his King item was slashed apart.
Consecutive Soul Transformation experts were slain by a Foundation Forging disciple, and in one shot each. That made the Corrupt experts’ hearts turn cold.
His sword once more returned to his sheath, and Yue Zifeng rushed away, choosing his next target. An unhealthy color had now appeared on his face.
BOOM! A Soul Transformation expert was blown back by a full-power swing of Gu Yang’s spear.
Just at that moment, Yue Zifeng pounced, annihilating him in body and soul.
“Zifeng, take it easy. You’re pushing yourself too hard,” warned Gu Yang quietly.
Yue Zifeng’s face was turning gray. He was using a terrifying secret art to give himself immense power, which was the only reason he was able to consecutively slay Soul Transformation experts so easily. But this kind of secret art would definitely have terrible side effects.
“There’s no other choice. The Elders aren’t able to handle it. Don’t worry about me.” Yue Zifeng nodded in acknowledgment and once more shot out.
“Kill that sword cultivator! We can’t let him grow up.” The Corrupt experts saw just how terrifying Yue Zifeng was. Right now, he was in the Foundation Forging realm, but could instantly kill Soul Transformation experts. If he matured, he would definitely be the bane of the Corrupt path. He had to be cut down now.
Thirteen Soul Transformation experts shot at Yue Zifeng at the same time, hoping to kill him in the first exchange.
Yue Zifeng took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When his eyes popped back open, the image of a sword had appeared in them.
Yue Zifeng slowly raised his sword. Shockingly, heaven and earth also seemed to slow down.
As Yue Zifeng’s sword moved, sword-images began to appear. They were actually incredibly condensed and realistic, looking just like real swords.
When his sword completed a full revolution through the air, the sword-images around him looked like a blooming lotus. Eighty-one sharp swords were pointed in every direction.
In that instant, the enemies’ expressions completely changed. They felt a burst of pain in their souls. That was the result of feeling mortal danger pressing down upon them. They almost instinctively gave up their attacks and turned to flee.
“The Sword Returns to the Source.”
Yue Zifeng’s eighty-one swords shot out like eighty-one streaks of lightning.
Terrified screams rang out along with the sound of flesh being pierced. Those thirteen Soul Transformation experts were all slain in an instant.
A Foundation Forging disciple had killed over ten Soul Transformation experts in one attack. The entire battlefield turned silent for a moment, as this had surpassed all their understanding.
Although sword cultivators had been acknowledged as the number one offensive cultivators for tens of thousands of years, consecutively killing experts two realms above oneself was still hard to accept.
After this attack, Yue Zifeng’s eyes became listless. He fell from the sky without the slightest fluctuations of life.
“Zifeng!”
Gu Yang and the others let out a startled cry. They hadn’t expected Yue Zifeng to have sacrificed his own life energy to kill these experts.
“Get his corpse!” The Corrupt experts became greedy. If they could take Yue Zifeng’s corpse, perhaps they could peer into some mysteries of the Sword Dao.
“Scram! Spirit of the Earth, kill them!”
Two shouts rang out at the same time, and the earth split open. Two huge earth giants charged out, blocking the Corrupt experts.
Those Corrupt experts let out a cold snort and attacked, striking the two earth giants with rays of light. The earth giants weren’t able to bear the attacks of over ten Soul Transformation experts at once, and their upper bodies exploded, leaving behind only their lower halves.
The Corrupt Soul Transformation experts continued on, but their expressions quickly changed. The earth giants suddenly regrew out of their lower halves, once more blocking their way.
“Ah!”
One of the Corrupt Soul Transformation experts had been too far forward to stop. As a result, one of the earth giants clapped its hands together like swatting a mosquito, killing him.
These animated earth giants had been summoned from a distance by Li Qi and Song Mingyuan. They were controlled by the two of them, but their energy came from the earth.
Right now, Li Qi and Song Mingyuan were also rank eight Celestials, and adding on what they had comprehended within the Xuantian Catalog, their control over earth energy had reached an unprecedented height.
But although these earth giants were powerful, their bodies were too huge, making their movements awkward. Their attacks were easy to dodge, which made their killing power low. That dead Corrupt expert could only blame his bad luck.
The other Corrupt Soul Transformation experts hastily fell back. They had almost shared the same fate as their fallen comrade.
Just at this moment, Li Qi caught Yue Zifeng. Carefully examining him, Li Qi truly found that Yue Zifeng didn’t have the slightest bit of life within him. His spiritual fluctuations had also disappeared. Grief filled Li Qi. He was unable to accept having a brother, whom he had fought alongside with for so many years through life and death, fall right in front of him.
“He’s not dead. Protect his body, and especially his sword.” Just at this moment, Meng Qi’s voice rang out.
Of everyone here, Meng Qi’s Spiritual Strength was the strongest. At first, she had also been shocked that Yue Zifeng would do something like this. It still wasn’t the time to drag enemies down at the cost of their own lives.
But she quickly realized that with his last attack, Yue Zifeng’s soul and even his life had merged into his sword. That was what had allowed him to unleash such shocking power.
Right now, his soul and life energy were all within his sword, while his body had become a husk. As for why he had done such a thing, no one knew.
But no matter what, for him to slay so many Corrupt Soul Transformation experts right at the start had greatly lessened the pressure on the others. The rate at which the Xuantian Dao Sect’s Kings were dying had slowed down greatly.
Meng Qi’s words delighted everyone. Li Qi hastily summoned a coffin and placed Yue Zifeng and his sword carefully inside. Just like that, he carried the coffin on his back.
At this time, Bao Buping and Chang Hao were stupefied. First, it was Guo Ran, Meng Qi, and Tang Wan-er attacking, then it was Wilde, Yue Zifeng, Gu Yang, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan displaying such shocking power. They almost couldn’t believe it.
Hua Shiyu, Zhao Ziyan, Wang Zhen, Mu Qingxuan, Su Mo, and the others were also fighting all out. Their battle power was also immense.
Looking at these powerful figures, Bao Buping and Chang Hao felt like they had become ordinary people. They were no longer the peak heavenly geniuses of the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect.
“Fuck, brother, we have to get some face too. These are just Long Chen’s subordinates, but we’re his brothers,” said Bao Buping stealthily to Chang Hao.
Chang Hao nodded. Today, he had received quite a blow. Each of these fellows was fiercer than the last. If this continued, the two of them would just become extras. That was unacceptable.
If they couldn’t compare to Long Chen, then fine. After all, he was a monster. But if they couldn’t even compare to the others, they wouldn’t be able to show their faces again.
“Work together.”
Chang Hao and Bao Buping exchanged a glance. Through their years together, they instantly understood the other’s thoughts.
Scale-like runes covered their bodies as they activated the Battle God Blessing. Those runes became blood-colored as they also activated their Spirit Blood.
Like angry lions, they let out a furious roar and charged at a Corrupt Soul Transformation expert. “Split the Heavens 4!”
Two huge sword-images crashed toward a Corrupt Soul Transformation expert. That expert hastily blocked.
With an explosive sound, he vomited blood.
But before he could go anywhere, another sword-image fell, blowing him to pieces.
Bao Buping and Chang Hao’s cooperation was flawless. Although it looked like they had attacked at the same time, they hadn’t.
Chang Hao’s attack went first, and its aura and light concealed Bao Buping’s attack. It looked like a combination attack from the two of them, but when that Corrupt Soul Transformation expert blocked it and relaxed ever so slightly, the second attack struck, killing him.
Pfft!
“The first one!”
Pfft!
“The second one!”
Pfft!
“The third one!”
Their huge sword-images didn’t reveal any clues as to how they were killing the Soul Transformation experts. Three of them died consecutively.
The battlefield was chaotic. Although the Corrupt Soul Transformation experts had experienced many battles, they had never seen such a bizarre battle. There was a group of Foundation Forging disciples killing Soul Transformation experts.
In the distance where the Reincarnation Mirror was facing off with the Corrupt God Skull, Li Tianxuan was calmly watching the battle below. There was no expression on his face.
This result was something he had long since expected. Within the Xuantian Dao Sect, only he was aware of the Dragonblood Legion’s true power. That was the only reason he had prepared himself to consume a big piece of meat this time.
Compared to Li Tianxuan’s calm, the dwarf’s expression was growing more and more unsightly. After calculating and preparing things, he had still fallen into Li Tianxuan’s scheme.
