Eternal Sacred King - Chapter 2791
Chapter 2791: Ambush
Translator: Legge
The Dao Fruit was the condensed essence of a cultivator’s cultivation.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, most cultivators would not choose such a resolute method.
Everyone would always hope to get lucky. Even when they were on the verge of death, they were unwilling to give up their last hope and chance of survival. However, the black-robed man did not hesitate at all!
Lin Xunzhen held the immortal sword in her hand and raised tip of her sword slightly against the black-robed man’s glabella, digging out his Dao Fruit. Unfortunately, this person’s Dao Fruit was already filled with cracks and its use was greatly reduced.
Lin Xunzhen removed the person’s storage bag again and swept it with her spirit consciousness before throwing it on the ground casually.
Wang Dong explained softly to Su Zimo and Beiming Xue, “Most of these Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits don’t have any treasures and their pockets are empty. Therefore, our storage bags are extremely attractive to them!”
After killing that person, Lin Xunzhen said indifferently, “If the human cultivators in the Evil Fiend Battlefield don’t have the Blessed Heaven World Badge, they can be treated as Sin Spirits and there’s no need to be benevolent to them.”
Those words seemed unnecessary.
Before entering the Evil Fiend Battlefield, everyone already knew about this. For some reason, Lin Xunzhen explained it again.
Only Su Zimo could tell that Lin Xunzhen’s words were actually directed at him. Wang Dong added, “That’s right. Even if we don’t kill them, the other party will kill us immediately. The moment we step into the Evil Fiend Battlefield, we are irreconcilable enemies with the Evil Fiends and Sin Spirits and have to fight them to the death!”
Su Zimo pondered for a moment. “Actually, I’ve cultivated the Myriad Sword Formation over the years as well. Why don’t you count me in?”
“Well…”
When they heard that, Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others exchanged glances with troubled expressions and fell silent for a moment.
Under normal circumstances, a sword formation formed by nine people was indeed stronger than one formed by eight.
However, Peak Master Su’s cultivation realm was only at the Celestial Realm. If he joined the sword formation, he would become an obvious weakness in the sword formation.
The power of the sword formation would decrease rather than increase.
In short, if Peak Master Su joined the sword formation, he would drag down the eight of them instead.
However, it was not appropriate to tell Peak Master Su about this openly as it might hurt his dignity.
A moment later, it was Wang Dong who coughed gently and said with a smile, “Peak Master Su, the eight of us are more familiar in cooperating with one another for the Myriad Sword Formation. You haven’t cultivated the sword formation for long and we might not be used to you suddenly joining in.” For the next few days, you can observe our cooperation in the sword formation and familiarize yourself with it first.”
“Exactly.”
Gong Sunyu added hurriedly, “We understand what you’re thinking, Peak Master Su. You want to help as well, but there’s no need to be anxious, Peak Master.”
“Once we encounter some Convergence or Celestial Being Evil Fiends or Sin Spirits in the future, we’ll definitely let you display your skills, Peak Master!” “Alright.”
Su Zimo could tell what Wang Dong and the others were implying and did not insist.
To him, it did not matter if he joined the sword formation or not.
If Lin Xunzhen and the others really encountered any danger that they could not resolve, he could attack at any moment.
This ambush was just a small interlude for everyone. No one took it to heart and continued forward.
Before long, another commotion sounded from the darkness in the depths of the forest.
This time round, even without Su Zimo’s reminder, Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others sensed danger!
“Get into formation and be on guard!”
Lin Xunzhen reminded and everyone slowed down.
After that, there was a long period of silence. The surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped to the freezing point and the atmosphere was oppressive.
Everyone knew that they would definitely face a massacre next!
After an unknown period of time, divine powers and Dharmic treasures suddenly burst forth from the darkness and enveloped Lin Xunzhen and the others!
The Myriad Sword Formation circulated once more and surged with endless sword qi, tearing apart the surrounding darkness.
Dozens of figures charged out from the darkness and looked at Su Zimo and the others murderously.
These people were no different from human cultivators. However, they had no Blessed Heaven World Badge hanging on their waists.
“Kill!”
The leader hollered softly.
A huge battle broke out between the two sides!
Lin Xunzhen, Wang Dong and the others attacked with all their might. The Carnage Sword Dao, the Sever Sword Dao and the Extreme Sword Dao With the augmentation of the Myriad Sword Formation, the eight Sword Daos released terrifying lethality!
Although the other party had dozens of Perfected Immortals and had the advantage in numbers, Lin Xunzhen and the others relied on the Myriad Sword Formation to defend and counterattack.
In less than ten breaths of time, six Perfected Immortals of the other party were severely injured and one of them was killed by Lin Xunzhen on the spot! Although the dozens of Perfected Immortals surrounded them, they did not have a formation and fought individually. As such, they could not defend against the Myriad Sword Formation in the end.
The moment both parties exchanged blows, they both had a rough understanding of the others’ strength.
Even if Lin Xunzhen and the others did not form the Myriad Sword Formation, this group of Sin Spirits would not be their match!
Lin Xunzhen seemed to have entered a strange state. Her expression was indifferent and her eyes were empty without any emotions.
Although she mainly cultivated the Sever Sword Dao, the three sword arts released a terrifying killing power in her hands as well!
A blood mist filled the air.
The baptism of blood nourished Lin Xunzhen’s Carnage Sword Dao continuously!
Su Zimo had already comprehended the Immortal Vanquishing Sword and his understanding of the Carnage Sword Dao surpassed Lin Xunzhen.
He could sense that Lin Xunzhen would be able to comprehend the Immortal Vanquishing Sword very soon and was only lacking an opportunity!
The battle lasted for less than a hundred breaths before the other party began to collapse. More than ten Sin Spirits had already fallen in pools of blood and died!
The remaining Sin Spirits could not defend against the attack of the Myriad Sword Formation and retreated one after another, wanting to enter the darkness of the forest once more.
If Lin Xunzhen and the others wanted to continue chasing, it would be difficult for them to maintain the Myriad Sword Formation.
Given their methods, they would naturally not encounter any danger. However, Su Zimo and Beiming Xue, who were in the center of the sword formation, were unprotected.
Yet, this was an extremely rare opportunity.
If they could kill a few more Sin Spirits, they would be able to obtain 100 Battle Merits in this battle alone!
“I” chase after them. The two of you stay here and protect Peak Master Su and Junior Sister Beiming!”
Lin Xunzhen said and chased after them first.
Just as she caught up to the edge of the darkness, Lin Xunzhen suddenly stopped and soared into the air, shouting, “Be careful of Yaksha Ghosts!”
The soil beneath Lin Xunzhen suddenly split open and a monster with greenish-black skin and sparse green fur on its hump-like head crawled out. It had a steel fork in its hand and charged towards Lin Xunzhen!
If Lin Xunzhen had reacted slower and did not stop in time, she would have been pierced by the Yaksha!
This monster was extremely ugly and had a sinister appearance. It was the Yaksha race that Su Zimo had seen in the Asura Battlefield of the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain.
However, the Yakshas on the Asura Battlefield had died many years ago and merely borrowed the evil blood power to reincarnate.
As for the Yaksha before them, its blood qi was surging and it was filled with vitality.. It was a true living creature and its combat strength was countless times stronger than those walking corpses!
