Divine Brilliance - Chapter 761
Chapter 761: Waiting
The iron shrapnel blasted everywhere, piercing in from the tip of the drill.
Fighting fire with fire, sharpness to break sharpness.
The old man didn’t hesitate to give up his drill. He was furious, but his eyes were filled with helplessness.
He could only retreat! Before the Flying Knife reached his body, it was best to get as far away as possible.
The first knife shield was broken! The Silver Knife Light directly shot out from the middle!
The second knife shield was also broken!
The thick layers of energy were unable to stop it at all. The small Flying Knife seemed to have transformed into a dragon shadow.
The old man hurriedly raised his arms in front of his body.
As expected, a hole was opened from the third layer of knife shields.
The blade mark was really smooth and clean, no excess energy was scattered outside.
In the next moment, a blood flower shone out.
The old man hollered out once more as his hands were pierced! The blood and flesh of the two Celestial Grade Flood Dragons actually exploded, separating from his body.
The giant strength pushed his body back 10,000 feet. It then pinned him right to the ground!
The old man struggled, his four limbs shaking as he tried to stand. However, moments later, there was no sound at all.
His eyes were opened wide with rage as if he died with many regrets!
Numerous energy currents charged out from his body and formed into several dragon-like currents.
The moment this person died, everyone within dozens of miles had ashen white faces.
Especially the remaining five Celestial Realm Experts who were all shocked. They retracted their aura into their bodies.
The ice cold mist instantly disappeared. The silver flames which covered the sky were also gone.
Including Yuanhai Demon Child within them, they all looked toward the Heaven Reaching Platform warily, defending against the Six God Knife.
They could see Zong Shou smiling arrogantly, looking down on the hundreds of thousands of disciples in the area!
His gaze seemed to be telling them: ‘What can you ants do to me?’
No one will live under the Six God Knife!
Out of 5 Celestial Realm Experts, none of them dared to make a sound. They also didn’t dare to say anything to provoke Zong Shou.
They all held their breaths, gathering energy to protect themselves.
Since those three just now couldn’t block it, then naturally these five wouldn’t have any confidence to do so either!
At this moment, it was more important for them to keep their lives than to break the formation.
If this went on, even before they broke the formation, they would all die under Zong Shou’s knives.
The unbreakable weird knife!
※※※※
Dozens of miles away on the hill, Su Xiaoxiao was startled. Then, she sighed, “Another one! This Old Man Potian reached Celestial Realm 200 years ago. His Heaven Breaking Drill rarely met an opponent, who knew that he would die here under Zong Shou! Daoling Sect didn’t gain anything, but instead lost big time!”
Shiyue’s eyes shone a weird glow, “What a Six God Knife! It is really the Blood Sword Monster Lord to have such an aura. Unrivaled in the Cloud World! I really want to try this Flying Knife Technique…”
However, he wasn’t totally crazy about martial arts, shaking his head and giving scoffing self-mockingly, “Forget it, my chance of winning is 70 to 30, I don’t have full confidence!”
He was 70 and Zong Shou was 30, but just that 30% alone was enough to terrify him!
This was before Zong Shou completely stepped into Spirit Realm!
Once he passed the tribulation, his cultivation would explosively increase.
How strong would this Six God Knife be then?
“How amusing! Yihua actually said he was too arrogant and thought they could do nothing about him, what happened then…”
The person who said this was one of the few Cultivators at the foot of the hill.
There were many Cultivators who were enemies with Zong Shou and rushed over, but there were also many who came to watch the show, to spectate this legendary battle.
The few people before were speaking with mocking tones.
“This Blood Sword Monster Lord has the right to be arrogant. Eight Celestial Realm Experts can’t do anything to him, three of them died! Yihua, herself was killed, she was a beauty…”
Shiyue laughed and automatically dismissed these words. He hated talking about people behind their backs, he didn’t like to listen to this gossip, especially about people who had already died!
However, not far ahead of him, Gongyuan was trembling. His bones and joints were exploding out like firecrackers. He was obviously extremely furious and unable to suppress it.
Shiyue found it weird, this person was really interesting.
He was obviously filled with rage and hated Zong Shou badly. However, during these four hours, he didn’t even move. Even just now, when those eight Celestial Realm Experts appeared, he suppressed himself and didn’t show any intention of attacking.
He didn’t let hatred and anger cloud his judgment. It was not out of fear, but caution!
Like a poisonous snake waiting for the best time to strike!
Then, his thoughts were interrupted by Su Xiaoxiao. This demon girl sighed, “These three people really died tragically! The newly appointed Daoling Vast Habitat Head was too anxious…”
Shiyue didn’t agree, “She wasn’t anxious! She had no choice! We can’t underestimate Qingming!”
Su Xiaoxiao acknowledged and looked over with a questioning gaze. Then, Shiyue said impassively, “If they didn’t stop him, he would be able to break the tribulation in one to two more cycles…”
“Impossible!”
Su Xiaoxiao instinctively shook her head, but then she realized it was somewhat true. Although her cultivation was strong, she wasn’t as strong as Shiyue. Maybe she missed something.
“I heard that the shortest record for this Nine Glory Cycle of Reincarnation Tribulation is eight hours! The few examples recorded in the Demon Faction not only used formations to aid, but also numerous pills. Often 90% of them would die and very little people succeeded.”
“That referred to other people! Don’t compare them to him!”
Shiyue shook his head and interrupted her. His lips curled with disdain but also admiration.
“Who is he? Blood Sword Monster Lord, Zong Shou whose sword is unrivaled! Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean he can’t! He is able to split his attention easily now, it is obvious he has seen through the source lock of the Nine Glory Light. He is only delaying it because he is greedy for the Grand Daos. Qingming saw through that, which was why she had no choice but to use those few Celestial Realm Experts in advance…”
“In the end, she didn’t get what she wished for and instead three of them died?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled, “If that is really the case, then it would be problematic! They were so well prepared, but they still can’t handle him!”
Shi Wuji listened on from the side, he finally couldn’t help himself and asked, “So, Ruler Zong Shou is going to win?”
His cultivation was really weak and he couldn’t see anything. However, with Shiyue helping him, he could view everything within 10 miles.
He comprehended the martial path and spells, but due to how astonishing the battle was, he was totally engrossed in it.
He saw those few extremely strong people, Celestial Realm Experts, fall under his Flying Knife.
He felt that although Zong Shou’s Sword might not be top in the world, his Flying Knife was definitely something that no one could block.
At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of Cultivators in the area lowered their heads at the knife.
Originally, his heart was impressed by this Ruler who allowed all his people to cultivate freely. Now, he was even more impressed due to his heroic spirit, looking down on the Experts of the world!
“Win? That might not be the case!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked into the sky and her smile became even bigger, “The battle here hasn’t ended. Whether or not the Monster Lord lives or dies depends on the other side. Who knows if Dragon Shadow Sword Saint and Evil Dragon Aokun have arrived? Even Qingming should have some trump cards…”
Her eyes were filled with surprise. With the Taoist and Old Man Potian dying, the few Saint Realm and God Realm Experts should have been able to save some life force for reincarnation, even if they were unable to save them.
However, just now, not only did they not help, even when the soul was destroyed, they didn’t respond at all. What happened?
※※※※
Similarly, dozens of miles away, in the Cloud Ocean, not far away from where Shiyue and Shi Wuji were standing.
A 20-year-old teen was sighing emotionally.
“Luckily, our Lingyun Sect didn’t step into these murky waters!”
His tone was filled with relief.
However, the people behind him all had weird expressions on their faces.
Ge Hanyun and Yan Feibai’s expressions didn’t change. The other five all felt fortunate, but at the same time, they were all furious and pumped up.
“We don’t dare to agree with what Sect Leader says!”
A 60-year-old Taoist waved his sleeves and his face was ashen white.
“Zong Shou’s Martial Path strength is indeed rare. But, just because his Sword Techniques are strong and his Flying Knife is unrivaled should we only just take it and let those thousands of disciples die? Are we going to give up those temples and mines we lost?”
Zu Renkuang frowned, his eyes filled with rage, but he suppressed it.
“Those words are true! But, we have to look at how much ability we have to fight him with? Without even gaining anything, Daoling and Tailing Sects both suffered heavy losses. If Zong Shou doesn’t die and Gantian isn’t wiped out, then what happens? Lingyun Sect itself has already suffered heavy losses…”
Before he finished, a cold scoff could be heard from the side, “Since the Taoist Ancestor and a few Saint Realms are here, then what do we have to fear? If we aren’t even willing to pay any price, then how will Daoling Vast Habitat allow us to return to Donglin…”
Just as this person was talking, they were all attracted to a commotion in the sky to the south.
A female was high up in the air holding a Xuanwu statue and chanting.
She caused a strong wind to blow and a mist to spread.
“That’s our Taoist Faction Protector Saint Beast!”
Apart from Yan Feibai and Ge Hanyun, everyone was shocked.
Then, the disbelief turned to joy.
“Daoling Vast Habitat is really going all out!”
“Since this beast appeared, then we will definitely win!”
The 60-year-old Taoist turned around to force Zu Renkuang, “Sect Leader, make your decision! We still have time to help them!”
Zu Renkuang was also startled. Was he really wrong this time?
Just as he said this, an intent spread over from the void. His face turned green and white.
“There’s no need. Let’s just watch on quietly!”
One sentence caused the people around to be startled and furious. Then, another sentence extinguished all their rage and made them speechless just as quickly.
“Ancestor has already met Sword Saint Dragon Shadow and said he entered the End Realm! At this moment, they are outside the Cloud World, Ancestor is restricted by him and unable to do anything!”
