Chapter 1227: Let Me Show You What A Real Sword Immortal Looks Like
“Get into formation!”
Zhao Siming roared.
The six cultivators quickly got into position, upon which a peculiar sword formation began to take shape.
All of the crimson humans were shredded by the powerful sword intent as they approached the sword formation.
The crimson humans were extremely ferocious. Even though the sword formation possessed a terrifying power, they still charged into the sword formation in relentless waves.
Poor Sun Yuluo was ostracized by the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples once again, but he still fought to the best of his abilities to fend off the crimson humans.
Meanwhile, An Lin unleashed his Holy Vermilion Flame to protect himself and Da Bai. All of the crimson humans hurtling toward them couldn’t even come within a hundred-meter distance from him before they were vaporized.
He lay down on Da Bai’s back and supported his chin with his hands as he watched the struggling Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators.
The sword formation was very powerful and could temporarily keep the crimson humans at bay.
However, it would undoubtedly be quite tiring to maintain. Sure enough, after killing about ten thousand crimson humans, an opening finally appeared in the formation.
A male cultivator had his stomach torn open by a crimson human, and his blood flew through the air.
“Ah…!”
“Yuan Tian!”
A relentless wave of crimson figures pounced toward them with terrifying might.
Soon, another crimson human exploited an opening in the sword formation to inflict a ghastly wound onto Xue Shan’s fair, long leg.
Xue Shan yelped with pain, but she still persevered for dear life.
The sheer number of crimson humans around plunged them into despair, and they could only keep slas.h.i.+ng their swords relentlessly through the air.
Before even a minute had elapsed, all six cultivators aside from the Return to Void Stage Zhao Siming had sustained wounds on their bodies. Sun Yuluo had also sustained many wounds, but he still gritted his teeth and fought on.
At this moment, Zhao Siming suddenly slit his wrist and blood spilled onto the blade of his sword before coiling its way up the sword like a crimson dragon. At the same time, his aura climbed explosively to the Return to Void Intermediate Stage!
“Run! I’ll cover all of you!” Zhao Siming roared.
He wielded his blood sword and unleashed a devastating sword strike toward the direction An Lin had come from.
That was the direction where there was the least amount of distance to the edge of the slaughter formation, so it was the best direction for everyone to escape in.
An extremely powerful sword projection swept through the air, pulverizing all of the crimson humans ahead for over ten kilometers, and a temporary pa.s.sageway of safety appeared before everyone.
“Brother!” All of the cultivators turned to look at Zhao Siming with tears in their eyes.
Even An Lin’s impression of Zhao Siming was improved significantly.
The five disciples immediately charged toward the pa.s.sageway opened up by the sword projection.
This was a pa.s.sageway that Zhao Siming had created for everyone after unleas.h.i.+ng a mystic technique to forcefully boost his power.
“What are you doing? Get out of here!” Zhao Siming suddenly roared.
“Don’t worry about me, I can protect myself.” Sun Yuluo had also stayed behind to open up a path for the other disciples alongside Zhao Siming.
The red spider lilies on the ground below detected everyone’s attempt to escape, and they began to wave even more vigorously. At the same time, all of the crimson humans attacked with even greater ferocity. In a slaughter formation like this, all living beings that tried to escape would come under even more terrifying attack!
The situation became extremely perilous. Even Zhao Siming had sustained wounds as his attention had been diverted during his attempt to help the other disciples escape. All of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples fought for their lives amid a sea of peril and turmoil.
This was an extremely risky move. They couldn’t find a way to break the formation, so they could only risk their lives and try to force their way out of the formation!
“Sister Xue Shan!” a disciple suddenly yelled in a panicked voice.
About a dozen or so crimson humans pounced toward the tall and slender woman at the same time, moving so quickly that they left a series of crimson afterimages in their wake.
Xue Shan’s expression s.h.i.+fted slightly as she unleashed a net comprised of a series of dazzling sword projections to slice the crimson humans into pieces.
However, there was one crimson human who was struck by the sword net, upon which a sharp screeching sound erupted.
“It didn’t die?” Xue Shan’s expression s.h.i.+fted once again.
That crimson human was wearing a peculiar suit of armor, and the sword net could only leave deep indentations upon the armor, but it was unable to kill the crimson human!
The crimson human’s hands transformed into lethal scythe blades, which descended mercilessly upon Xue Shan. Xue Shan’s eyes widened, but she didn’t have time to take any evasive measures!
It’s over…
I’m going to die in this terrifying place…
That was the only thought in her heart.
However, in the next instant, the crimson human suddenly froze on the spot.
Just as Xue Shan was perplexed about what had just happened, the crimson human suddenly fell apart into one thousand extremely even parts before plummeting from the sky, as if it had been sliced by some precision instrument.
“Sigh, I’m getting obsessive-compulsive disorder from cooking. Even when killing small fry like this, I get struck by the urge to dice them into even cubes…”
A resigned sigh suddenly sounded.
“An… An Lin!” Xue Shan exclaimed in shock.
The person standing before her was none other than An Lin!
The crimson humans were still charging relentlessly toward them, but all of them were somehow sliced into thousands of even cubes before they even managed to get close.
Xue Shan knew that this was because An Lin was simply las.h.i.+ng out too fast for her to detect!
“It’s An Lin!”
“He saved Sister Xue Shan!”
All of the Heavenly Sword Sect exclaimed as they turned toward him with complex expressions.
“Stop running away. Sword immortals should only advance and never retreat or cower,” An Lin said in a firm voice.
One of the disciples flared up with rage. “Stop running? If we don’t run, we’re all going to die!”
“I can say a bunch of cheap, meaningless words as well! There are hundreds of thousands of these ferocious crimson monsters here, how are we supposed to survive without running away? You wouldn’t be able to survive without fleeing either!” another disciple chimed in.
This slaughter formation was far more terrifying than what they had imagined.
The countless crimson humans and the heavy aura of death and killing intent in the air struck all of them with a sense of crus.h.i.+ng asphyxiation.
It was difficult enough just to run away, how were they supposed to stand and fight? They might as well just slit their own throats!
“Alright, let me show you what a true sword immortal looks like!” An Lin laughed heartily as he pulled out a blue necklace from his storage ring before flinging it into the air.
“There are too many crimson humans to kill? Forgive me for being blunt, but there aren’t even enough crimson humans here for me to kill with just one move!”
The blue necklace transformed into a blue hole as An Lin spoke.
Before everyone had a chance to react, an extremely terrifying burst of sword intent instantly engulfed the entire heaven and earth.
If all of the sword projections they had unleashed up to this point were a drop of water, then what they were sensing now from the blue hole was an entire ocean!
[Sword Burial Necklace: A spatial storage weapon constructed with a star of sword intent as its core. It can absorb and store “deceased” swords before unleas.h.i.+ng them after being charged with energy.]
The more powerful the wielder’s sword intent and cultivation base, the more powerful the flying swords would be.
There were tens of millions of deceased swords within the Sword Burial Necklace, all of which had been nurtured by An Lin’s sword intent, as well as his Divine Weapon Origin Energy, and they were now all pure golden in color!
Even An Lin was unable to estimate just how terrifyingly powerful they were!
All of a sudden, a torrential downpour of golden flying swords erupted from the blue hole.
Countless golden flying swords crashed down like a waterfall.
The sea of crimson below was transformed into a boundless sea of gold!
All of this had happened in the blink of an eye.
Sword intent shook the heavens as flying swords converged to form an ocean!
