Chapter 1895: 1895
Battle was bitter, painful, and frantic . As the people beside you fell one by one, lives were disappearing from the world forever .
It brought endless pain and hatred . The only way to vent this anger and hatred was to kill your enemies .
The Corrupt path was the Righteous path’s mortal enemy . The enmity between the two sides had been built up over countless years . It could only be washed away with more blood .
As for those people that were originally maintaining neutrality but were now standing on the side of the Corrupt path, they had also become enemies . The most unacceptable thing was that amongst those people were their former comrades of the Righteous path . This was an unforgivable betrayal .
Those without any courage had acted like they hadn’t received Ye Lingshan’s summons . They had slipped away, choosing the coward’s path .
Those who were left might be young or still had youth’s vigor left in them . In either case, they still had hot blood flowing through their veins . They knew that without the Martial Heaven Alliance, the Righteous path would not be able to survive . They would end up becoming slaves .
Not all the Righteous path’s experts were cowards and fond of scheming against each other . There were also many courageous heroes unafraid of death .
Just as these armies of hundreds of thousands started their clash, the void rumbled . Roars rang out from the outer regions, and an endless tide of experts charged over from every direction .
“Fools of the Righteous path, did you really think we only had these few people? You’ll all be dying here today!” Huo Lieyun laughed .
This was a trap . The army that had been standing here openly at the start was just a portion of their forces . Even more experts had been lying in wait .
There had only been five hundred thousand people in the army lying in front of the Yin Yang Valley . However, over one million five hundred thousand experts were hiding throughout the outer region .
Huo Lieyun had been worried that Long Chen and the others wouldn’t dare to come if they saw so many people, so they had put on a weak front to bait them in . Their appet.i.te was truly large .
“Kill!”
The huge army charged . They were like bloodthirsty beasts wearing sinister smiles .
Suddenly, the ground shook . Before that army even arrived, twelve flame blades sliced toward Chu Yao .
The twelve of them besieged her . As a result, Chu Yao summoned an endless stream of wooden stakes, defending herself . The worst thing was that she also had to be on guard against the sudden sneak attack of the other divine emissary of Bloodkill Hall .
Even with her skill in defense, she was unable to block their continuous stream of attacks . Her wooden stakes were blown apart rapidly . Just as she retreated, the third divine emissary appeared, launching a fatal blow .
However, he had just appeared when a single and ordinary sword slashed toward his waist . The sword was simple, but the will of the Sword Dao was contained within it . The divine emissary’s hair stood on end, and he hastily blocked .
Sparks flew along with a burst of sword-light . An icy-faced man appeared in the air .
“Who are you?” demanded the divine emissary .
“Fourth captain of Long Chen’s Dragonblood Legion, Yue Zifeng . ”
Yue Zifeng had arrived . However, he no longer appeared the same as before . He himself wasn’t different . It was his sword that had changed .
His current sword gave off an ancient aura, seeming to merge with his body . It was difficult to discern where the sword ended and where the man began . Although his sword was now sheathed, a sharp light was still escaping . That light was chilling .
Yue Zifeng had finally abandoned his normal sword, and now he appeared like a completely different person . He had become aloof, colder .
“For a person like you to use a sword is blasphemy to the sword . Your life ends here . ”
Yue Zifeng’s arm reached back . It was impossible to even see his movements, as no one even saw him grab his sword . All they saw was something that appeared to be a streak of lightning slicing apart the dome of the sky, slicing through all laws .
BOOM!
The Bloodkill Hall’s divine emissary couldn’t dodge, and despite doing his best to defend, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying .
“The sword is sacred among weapons, but you actually use it in such a shameful manner . You insult the Sword Dao . Today, I’ll kill you to maintain the honor of the sword . ”
Yue Zifeng’s sword spun through the air . After forming a sword seal with his left hand, the tip of his sword shook, emitting a beautiful lotus flower . As it bloomed, all of heaven and earth were sealed . At the center of the lotus was the tip of Yue Zifeng’s sword .
The sword itself wasn’t very fancy . It was simple and direct, but the blossoming lotus Yue Zifeng had unleashed threw the Heavenly Daos into chaos . It was like everything in this world was under the control of Yue Zifeng’s sword .
The a.s.sa.s.sin let out a roar, and his manifestation unfurled . Endless energy streamed into his body from his manifestation .
Just as he was about to face Yue Zifeng’s sword with all his power, Yue Zifeng snorted and his sword turned away from its target . Instead of slicing the divine emissary, Yue Zifeng’s sword sliced through the manifestation behind the divine emissary .
Divine light flowed through the sword, cutting apart the very heavens . Nothing was invulnerable in front of that sword . The manifestation behind the divine emissary was actually sliced in two and slowly fell apart in the sky .
“What?!”
“Heavens, how is that possible?!”
This sight dumbfounded everyone . How could a Heavenly Dao manifestation be sliced apart? Was that some kind of power above the Heavenly Daos?
Having his manifestation sliced shocked the divine emissary . He found himself severed from Heavenly Dao energy .
Yue Zifeng’s sword fell, and the divine emissary hastily blocked . However, without his Heavenly Dao energy, his power had dropped sharply . The Sword Qi landed on his body and almost cut him in two .
He was absolutely appalled . He was the strongest of the three divine emissaries, the so-called Heaven Slayer of the Heaven, Earth, and Man Slayer ranks .
As for the one who was trapped by Liu Ruyan and on his deathbed struggle, he was the Earth Slayer divine emissary .
In the Bloodkill Hall, there was a certain rule, and that was that their a.s.sa.s.sins would not accept missions to a.s.sa.s.sinate sword cultivators . They also wouldn’t fight them because sword cultivators were the bane of a.s.sa.s.sins .
However, the Heaven Slayer divine emissary had been extremely conceited, thinking that he could break that rule . He had also secretly a.s.sa.s.sinated several sword cultivators, thinking that this legend of sword cultivators was false .
However, Yue Zifeng had broken that confidence . His terrifying Sword Dao felt completely unstoppable to him .
The Heaven Slayer divine emissary once more summoned his manifestation . His injuries instantly healed, and he suddenly summoned eighty-one clones, each of them with an identical aura to his own .
Yue Zifeng’s expression was cold . Not even looking at the clones charging toward him, he slashed behind him . The true body amongst those clones was sent flying once more and coughed up blood .
“Illusion arts can only trick people’s eyes and ears . As long as a person has no fear or desire in their hearts, can the heart be tricked?” Yue Zifeng sneered and once more charged after him .
Each slash of Yue Zifeng’s sword injured the divine emissary . None of his attacks missed . This terrifying a.s.sa.s.sin didn’t even have the power to retaliate in front of him .
“What a terrifying sword cultivator . He’s not an Empyrean, but even without any Heavenly Dao energy, he can slice apart heaven and earth!”
Sword cultivators could be said to be a rare profession . Although over half of cultivators used swords, those people weren’t actually focused on the Sword Dao .
The so-called sword cultivators were those who had given their entire lives to the sword . Other than the sword, they would have nothing else .
The majority of people viewed the sword as nothing more than a tool for battle . Hence, there was an immense difference between the two sides . Sword cultivators might even be called fanatics .
The divine emissary roared furiously . He tried seventeen different movements arts to get away, but they were all useless . No matter how he dodged, he would have to face Yue Zifeng’s sword . If he didn’t block, he would die .
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, just wait!” Finally, he crumbled . He couldn’t fight Yue Zifeng . None of his abilities worked against him . With a furious roar, he actually faded, vanis.h.i.+ng in midair .
A clamor erupted amongst the neutral camp’s experts . The Bloodkill Hall’s divine emissary was actually fleeing .
However, he had just vanished when Yue Zifeng’s sword lit up again . He sliced the void, and a panicked figure came tumbling out of the opening he made . It was the divine emissary .
“So he didn’t really escape but used some magical art to block himself from being sensed, hiding right in front of us . ”
Someone on the divine emissary’s level had reached a practically perfect level in this technique . It was essentially impossible to see anything off when he wanted to conceal himself .
However, no matter how amazing the trick, once it was exposed, it no longer seemed mysterious .
The Heaven Slayer divine emissary coughed up blood . He had been injured again when Yue Zifeng’s sword forced him out of the void .
“You aren’t qualified to run in front of me,” said Yue Zifeng, his sword once more slas.h.i.+ng out .
The Heaven Slayer divine emissary roared . He tried to run, and his figure flitted through the air, but he was never able to escape the range of Yue Zifeng’s sword .
Yue Zifeng was chasing after the Heaven Slayer divine emissary, Liu Ruyan was attacking the other divine emissary, and Chu Yao was fighting against the Flame Divine Palace’s twelve experts . However, during this time, the Martial Heaven Alliance’s army was attacked from the front and behind . They were in a critical state .
The one million five hundred thousand experts that had been hiding included several existences with terrifying auras . They were actually experts on the same level as Di Feng and the others .
“Martial Heaven Alliance, today is the day of your destruction!”
There were three powerful experts of the ancient races laughing as they slaughtered the army of the Martial Heaven Alliance .
Suddenly, a golden arrow shot through the air, exploding at their feet .
“I swept through the four seas, crossed a thousand mountains, caused huge billows in heaven and earth, slaughtered demons, eliminated devils, plucked the stars and moon . Tis I, the unrivaled hero Guo Ran!” Following that arrow’s explosion, a chant rang out through the air .
