Chapter 165: The Fog Sword Formation Is Broken, the Ancient Sword’s Resting Place
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After finding a direction, Su Yi began to walk around the fog sword formation.
With the defensive formation isolating his aura, he was not attacked by the bronze sword rain anymore. So, everything went smoothly.
Finally, he found something strange in a huge bronze sword tomb.
After a period of investigation, he found that the sword tombs were mostly bronze swords with array patterns engraved on them.
Now, there was only a huge sword standing up, like a fierce warrior in the sword. The surrounding sword tombs seemed to be surrounding this sword tomb as well.
Out of caution, a demon core appeared in his hand. Then, he poured his true essence into his hand and threw it at the strange sword tomb.
The demon core flew forward with the sound of wind. Su Yi watched as the demon core struck a certain s.p.a.ce.
A ripple was formed in the s.p.a.ce. It was as though it was protected by an invisible existence.
Bzzz–
A sizzling sound rang out. Flames immediately rose from the demonic core. In the blink of an eye, it was burnt into ashes.
“As expected!”
Seeing this, a trace of relief flashed across his eyes. Fortunately, he was cautious. If he had touched the invisible barrier with his hands, he would have been burnt into a pig’s trotter by now.
However, no matter what, he had to destroy the sword tomb. Perhaps it was the key to breaking the array.
Thinking of this, determination flashed across his eyes. He condensed his sword finger, and the coldness on the tip of his finger condensed.
Immediately, a cold light with a destructive aura appeared on his fingertip.
“Tenth move, Tiangang Meteorite Finger!”
“Break!”
With a low shout, he raised his sword finger, and immediately, a stream of light swept out, striking the invisible barrier.
Bzz bzz bzz–
Immediately, sizzling and buzzing sounds rang out, and the air became a little scorched due to the collision.
Above the sword tomb, under the bombardment of the Tiangang Meteorite Finger, the invisible barrier stirred up waves of ripples. However, it did not feel like it was broken.
Seeing this, he could not help but increase the speed of his true essence circulation. Above his fingertip, the destructive light beam became even more powerful.
At this time, this dense fog sword formation seemed to have sensed the movement of the attack. It instantly detected the location of this outsider, Su Yi.
Immediately, the huge formation patterns in the sky slowly rotated again, and a dangerous aura locked onto his body.
Immediately, a strong sense of danger appeared in his heart.
“Oh no!”
He knew that things were not going well. The whistling sounds around him rang out, and those bronze longswords once again turned into a torrent of swords, flaying towards him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The long swords brought with them a cold light as they cut through the white fog, continuously bombarding the defensive formation around Su Yi.
Immediately, the sound of metal colliding rang out once again. Facing thousands of sword attacks, his own true essence was also rapidly being depleted.
At one moment, he was trying to maintain theSpirit Nurturing Tower’s operation, and at another moment, he was trying to maintain the stalemate between the Tiangang Meteorite Finger and the invisible barrier.
Moreover, it seemed that after he attacked the sword tomb, the attack of the bronze sword rain became more and more fierce, stronger and stronger.
Even the defensive array that claimed to be able to withstand a golden core attack began to shake as if it was about to collapse.
In just a short breath, Su Yi’s true essence was consumed by nearly thirty percent. It could be seen just how fierce the attack of the sword rain was.
At this moment, the alarm bells in his heart rang loudly. If this continued, he would die under the sword rain before the barrier of the sword tomb could be broken.
The invisible barrier began to change when it blocked Su Yi’s Tiangang Meteorite Finger.
From the beginning, it was invisible, but now it was visible. What protected the sword tomb was actually a small-scale array formation. Faint white array patterns appeared in the air, continuously circulating, and the broadsword in the sword tomb seemed to be supporting the operation of the array formation.
Majestic spiritual qi surged out of the sword and then merged into the formation.
Seeing this, Su Yi gritted his teeth and threw the Spirit Nurturing Tower high up in the air as if he had decided on something.
His left hand turned into a sword finger again. A destructive cold light appeared and he shouted in a low voice.
“Tiangang Meteorite Finger!”
He actually used two Tiangang Meteorite Fingers at the same time.
The destruction light beam reappeared, and then merged into the first destruction light beam. Then, the light beam suddenly soared. The power within it had reached an unprecedented peak.
The Spirit Nurturing Tower that he had thrown up high had lost the infusion of his true essence. Very quickly, the defensive formation dimmed under the attack of the rain of swords.
Within a short breath, the defensive formation was broken by the endless rain of swords. It was about to land on Su Yi’s body.
At this moment, his expression had become extremely grave as a trace of madness flashed across his eyes.
One could see that he had removed the true yuan protection on his body and was using all his strength to unleash the Tiangang Meteorite Finger.
“Break! Break for me!”
…
At the sky-reaching pavilion in Central Plains City.
The gentle and refined man placed his hands behind his back. His gaze was grave as he looked in the direction of the demon subduing mountain and spoke faintly.
“Have you given the orders?”
Upon hearing this, a faint voice sounded in the air.
“Your subordinate has already pa.s.sed down your orders, city lord. However…”
The voice seemed to be a little hesitant before continuing.
“City lord, even though you have issued the orders, there are still other cultivators who think that the place is the manifestation of a unique treasure. There are still cultivators who have sneaked in…”
Hearing this, the city lord of Central Plains City, Ji Tongtian, raised his eyebrows and said, “let them go. As the city lord, I’ve done my best. However, there are always some people who are rushing to their deaths. Who can be blamed?”
“After 400 years, the same thing will happen again. It’s just that the momentum this time is even more unpredictable.”
Ji Tongtian’s eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life. From his words, he knew that it was very likely that he had already existed in the Central Plains 400 years ago. As for what happened in the Central Plains at that time, it was intriguing.
…
Fallen Sword Abyss, in the secret realm of the ancient sword tomb where Su Yi was located.
This place had long been in a mess. Tens of thousands of bronze swords had scattered on the ground and formed a sword mountain.
The white fog that pervaded the surroundings had already dispersed, and the surrounding panoramic view could already be seen.
Suddenly, in the originally quiet secret realm, the pile of bronze swords that formed a mountain began to move.
One could only see the creaking sound of metal interweaving, and this sword mountain was also constantly changing.
Bang!
With a series of explosions, a figure jumped out from the sword mountain.
It was Su Yi.
At this moment, he was looking at the pile of swords in front of him with lingering fear. There were bright red blood stains on his body.
At the last moment of breaking the array, the sword rain fell on his body. Fortunately, he broke the defense of the array in the end and destroyed the broadsword.
His body was also pierced by the sword rain a few times, and he immediately lost a large amount of blood and qi. Fortunately, after destroying the sword tomb, the formation stopped functioning. After that, the sword rain did not have much strength, so it did not break through his body’s defense.
However, even so, the large amount of bronze swords still pressed down on him.
He first took the blood and qi pills and the vitality replenishing pills to heal his injuries, and then opened his mission panel.
As expected, the mission changed.
