Chapter 258: Seal Broken
Su Xun and Yuanshen joined forces again.
The last time they joined forces was when dealing with Lin Lei… and now, Lin Lei has long been as cold as can be, although it was suicide, the roles that Su Xun and Yuanshen played in it were also indispensable.
And now, the Barbarian King is facing a life-or-death crisis.
With only a broken blade in his hand, it is difficult for him to save himself.
In this critical moment…
He let out a long roar.
On the broken blade, a spiritual rope suddenly coiled out… using true essence to form a rope. Although he has not cultivated immortal techniques, there is no doubt that his arduous cultivation has made him much stronger than before.
The spiritual rope wrapped around Po Yunduan, who was fiercely battling Yuan Qian in the distance.
The true essence rapidly contracted.
Po Yunduan didn’t even have time to react, and as if teleporting, he was forcibly moved directly in front of Su Xun and Yuanshen’s attacks.
Two loud bangs…
Po Yunduan’s strength was already almost above the Nascent Soul Realm, and he was even considered a candidate for the next Barbarian King. He was completely torn apart.
And through the human body, Su Xun and Yuanshen’s attacks had been weakened by more than half…
Although the Barbarian King was still struggling, the spirit crystal passed through Po Yunduan and the broken blade in his hand, its power was reduced by seventy to eighty percent. Even Yuanshen’s attack was forcibly changed in angle by Po Yunduan’s bones, piercing out from his shoulder bone.
Wherever it passed, the sword qi was no longer able to rise… obviously, this strike completely destroyed one of his arms.
But he finally gained a glimmer of life.
“Run!!!”
Regardless of whether the word “run” would greatly diminish his reputation as the Barbarian King…
The assassination from the shadows had completely terrified him.
He couldn’t imagine how powerful it was. If the opponent had even one more strike, he would probably die without a doubt… But even knowing he would die, he still held onto the last bit of hope.
Such terrifying power, even a Spirit Transformation Cultivator would not be able to easily unleash it. Since the opponent was hiding, they must be wary of him, so they definitely couldn’t be at the Enlightenment Realm.
The facts proved that his estimation was correct.
Even though he turned and ran…
That terrifying fatal attack did not come again.
As the Barbarian King fled, his speed was as fast as lightning. Even Yuanshen and the others were unable to react in time. Who could have imagined that he would use his subordinates’ lives to shield himself from the enemy.
Seeing the Barbarian King fleeing, the barbarians, who had been fiercely attacking but had their numbers reduced by almost two-thirds, were like rabbits who had lost their courage. They all quickly followed the Barbarian King’s footsteps and fled.
“Chase!”
“Kill, don’t let them get away!”
“Don’t run, stay and fight us to the death!”
At this time, the disciples from the Thirteen Heavenly Sects and the children of the Seven Clans had already gone mad with killing…
Their casualties were also not small, but their deaths were entirely because the true essence that the enemy had bombarded them with was simply too much for them to bear, causing them to explode and die.
This kind of death was simply incompetent to the extreme.
But for people like Li Jingchun, these enemies were simply walking, all-in-one supplements.
Letting one run away was a huge loss…
In the battle just now, each of them had breakthroughs at different levels.
Li Jingchun had even stepped into the Mid Spirit Manifestation stage. This progress was equivalent to three years of his usual hard cultivation.
Those who fled were fast, but those who chased were even faster.
Barbarians were constantly being caught up and killed. Their counterattacks were completely useless. Su Xun had put a lot of thought into it. With the Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Barbarism, the barbarian power and true essence in his body were perfectly combined. He would not strike unless he had to, and when he did, it would be with true essence.
They were completely confused.
Wu Lai and the others did not chase.
They stopped in the air, watching the direction the Barbarian King had fled, watching the barbarians collapse, and their formations in disarray… They knew that they could not escape.
Having penetrated deep into the enemy camp, only 30% of the millions of troops remained.
And with the Barbarian King’s escape, their fighting spirit had collapsed. Even if they wanted to regroup, it was absolutely impossible.
Of course, even if they did regroup, it would only be to provide them with another delicious meal.
At this moment.
Suddenly, there were several sharp sounds of “peng peng peng”.
Countless spiritual lights shot towards the distance.
The speed was extremely fast, like shooting stars. Although they could not compare to the spirit crystal bullets that defeated the Barbarian King, the attacks launched with high-grade spirit stones were not something that these Soul Annihilation Realm barbarian cultivators could withstand.
Those Soul Annihilation barbarians who were previously incomparably powerful fell one after another…
No matter how far or fast they fled, how could they escape the range of the Wind Sniper?
In just a few breaths…
Those top experts of the Barbarian Territory who had previously worried Yuan Qian were being killed one by one by Su Xun, without even a chance to dodge.
Yuan Qian was dumbfounded.
She said in shock, “We… we won!”
Even the generals of the Barren Ridge looked blankly at the fleeing barbarians.
It felt like a child’s play…
When they were serious, when the reinforcements of the Thirteen Heavenly Sects arrived, the entire Great Qian Empire was united, and they defeated the barbarian warriors so easily?
Moreover, these millions of barbarian cultivators all died here. For the Barbarian Territory, this was not just a minor injury.
If the barbarians’ strength was previously above that of the Qian Dynasty, now, the strength of the two sides has completely reversed. In the future, the Barbarian Territory may not even be able to withstand the Qian Dynasty’s attacks.
For those Qian Dynasty warriors who had guarded the Barren Ridge for a lifetime and had personally witnessed the strength of the barbarians, this victory was simply too dreamlike… Even in dreams, they had never won so easily.
But victory was victory.
Yuan Qian quickly reacted and shouted, “Everyone, follow me! Kill all these barbarians! Take advantage of the victory and pursue them now!”
It was a great victory, but they needed to flee a very long way.
How foolish would they be to let go of the opportunity to beat a drowning dog?
And so…
Millions of cavalry charged forward, launching the most furious charge at the fleeing barbarian soldiers… This charge contained their centuries of anger.
After being harassed by these barbarians for so many years, today was the most satisfying.
“Let’s charge too!”
Wu Lai said solemnly, “The Barbarian King has lost an arm and his strength has greatly diminished. How can we let him return to the Barbarian Territory safely with such a good opportunity?”
“That’s right, we should beat a drowning dog!”
“Charge!”
The others agreed.
Only Yuanshen raised his head in surprise, looked around, and said in astonishment, “Where’s Su Xun? Why hasn’t he come out yet?”
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone was stunned.
That’s right…
Now that they had won a great victory, and the Barbarian King was already seriously injured, he had even taken the opportunity to kill dozens of Soul Annihilation Realm barbarians. Among everyone, if there was one who had made the greatest contribution, it would probably be Su Xun.
Since he had not appeared, he naturally had not been injured.
But now that they had clearly won a great victory…
Why hadn’t he appeared?
“Master, I’m here.”
Su Xun’s voice came from beside them…
At this time, everyone was shocked to find that Su Xun had arrived in front of them at some point.
This made Wu Lai and the others feel a slight shock, secretly horrified by Su Xun’s concealment methods. If he hadn’t spoken, they probably wouldn’t have discovered his presence.
It was as if his spiritual sense was completely above all of them, so much so that they could not detect his presence at all.
What kind of divine power was this?
“I’m here.”
Although it was a great victory, at this time, Su Xun’s face was very ugly.
There was no joy of victory at all.
Yuanshen knew from his expression that something bad had probably happened.
His heart also sank slightly, and he asked in surprise, “What’s wrong, Su Xun? Could it be that when you were dealing with the Barbarian King just now, you paid some unbearable price?”
“No, it’s some personal matter.”
Su Xun sighed deeply and said, “Although it is said that one should not pursue a defeated enemy, there is no reason to let these barbarians leave our territory safely… You go and chase them, especially the Barbarian King, we must not let him live.”
He handed Yuanshen a completely black token and said, “At this time, the Four Demonic and Heretical Sects should have already lurked within the Barbarian Territory. If you haven’t killed the Barbarian King after he has escaped to the Barbarian Territory, crush this token. Real Person Kuxin and the others will help you. With their help, it is likely that the Barbarian King will have absolutely no chance of survival.”
“You’re not going?”
Su Xun’s cultivation was strictly speaking still in the Nascent Soul Realm.
But for some reason, when he learned that Su Xun was not going, Yuanshen’s heart couldn’t help but sink slightly… It was then that he was shocked to realize that although this disciple of his did not have high cultivation, his methods were complicated and incredibly magical. He had developed a slight dependence on him.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was a terrible master.
Su Xun shook his head and said, “I’m not going. The Barbarian Territory is already a defeated dog. There’s no need for me to personally go after them. I have more important things to do.”
“Alright, you’ve arranged things to this point. If we can’t seize this opportunity, then we’d be unworthy of being called elders!”
Yuanshen nodded. Although he saw that Su Xun’s expression was heavy, destroying the Barbarian Territory was the most important thing at the moment.
He said to Wu Lai and the others, “Fellow Daoists, let’s go together!”
“Exactly!”
“Sect Leader Yuanshen, please!”
Several streams of light flew towards the distance. Their target was the Barbarian King who had already fled… The Barbarian King was injured, so he certainly couldn’t escape far.
And their goal was to kill him within the Qian Dynasty.
And Su Xun looked at the Qian Dynasty soldiers who were charging with murderous intent. The momentum of the Great Qian had risen and was unstoppable…
But in the small world.
Just now, he clearly felt that the seal he had set up with a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures had been completely broken.
It was not surprising.
It was better to dredge than to block.
Forcibly blocking it would only make the undercurrents below even more turbulent. The blood ocean was immense and boundless, silently accumulating power, with each wave stronger than the last… Although Zhou Xiaofan estimated three years.
But he had ignored the fact that the blood water was constantly getting stronger.
Now…
The blood water had already spread ashore, like monstrous waves, engulfing the Central Plains.
How fast was the ocean?
Not as fast as light, not as fast as sound.
But it was endless and unceasing…
Over the past three years, in order to stop the blood tide, the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect had placed forty-nine obstacles near the array seal, each with extremely magical effects. Most of them had even evolved beyond the main plane, reaching a state of surpassing their origins.
But even so, the forty-nine obstacles could not even stop the blood tide for a day.
At this time, the blood tide was carrying an overwhelming force, spreading towards the human realm…
Wherever it passed, the earth cracked, the trees withered, and the hard rocks turned to ash.
Only a blood-red world remained.
Within a radius of a thousand miles, all the people had been completely relocated.
But although a thousand miles was not an instant, a day was enough for the blood water to completely spread out…
Those people facing the blood water did not even have time to escape. After the blood tide passed.
What remained were blood-colored, ghost-like, and demonic shadows.
These demonic shadows used the flesh of the previous people as the source of their actions, following the blood water, slowly engulfing the Central Plains…
The first to encounter the blood tide was the Barren Holy Palace located on the border!
Su Xun had warned them long ago not to stay in the Barren Holy Palace…
But these demon cultivators regarded the Barren Holy Palace as their holy land, so it was impossible for them to retreat easily.
Each of them had magical methods to block the blood ocean.
“Activate the Ten Thousand Infant Blood Erosion Array!”
Now, the Palace Lord of the Barren Holy Palace, Li Wuyai, had a cold expression, and his eyes were filled with fanaticism.
In this world, the demon cultivators of the demonic path were even more cold-blooded and ruthless, and their attacks were fatal!
The Ten Thousand Infant Array eroded blood and corroded souls. Wherever the array passed, everything was stripped of its intelligence and turned into innocent puppets like infants, for his use.
Over the years, he had been studying the mystery of the blood water, and he had discovered that the Ten Thousand Infant Blood Erosion Array had a certain restraining power over the blood water… It was just right to turn this blood water into his own use. Then, even if the righteous path cultivators came, he would not be afraid.
The array began to operate…
Boundless evil true essence gathered, slowly transforming into a giant infant-like form. With the innocent cries of “yi yi ya ya”, it sounded like it was burning the hearts of those who heard it.
This infant innocently and ignorantly reached out towards the blood water. With its mouth wide open, it directly sucked a large mouthful of blood water into its belly, as if drinking milk. It revealed a satisfied smile, and then continued to drink large mouthfuls…
“Hahahaha, as expected, my demonic holy array is superior to this blood ocean!”
Li Wuyai laughed triumphantly and shouted, “Strengthen the array!”
“Yes!”
All the disciples of the Holy Palace poured their own true essence into it…
These people were almost like fanatics, recklessly transferring all their true essence into the array… All the disciples instantly turned into dried corpses.
And the giant infant’s form became even larger, and its cries became even more miserable and sharp.
It forcefully held the blood water, devouring it in large mouthfuls. The originally fair body gradually showed a layer of blood color.
And it seemed to be addicted to this state of rapidly increasing power.
The array didn’t even need to operate anymore.
Even though the power transmitted by the cultivators behind it was weakening, the blood infant’s strength did not retreat but advanced. Obviously, this blood water gave it a great boost, making it evolve extremely powerfully!
And the instinctual greed made the blood infant actively scoop up the blood water and devour it.
“Damn it… what’s going on? This array has escaped our control?”
Li Wuyai’s face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, “Our array has been taken over by the tide?”
Amidst a series of screams…
The blood infant slapped out with its hand, which was no less than the collapse of the Five Finger Mountain, directly flattening the entire Barren Holy Palace!
The Barren Holy Palace was destroyed!
