Chapter 216: Chapter 213 Mob
Yellow Sky Sect had to maintain some dignity and had not dared to completely tear their relationship with Star State, especially since Gu Jinlai hadn’t yet been killed.
Otherwise, with the Great Demon from Champsosaurus Swamp restraining all the top experts from Yellow Sky Sect, once Star State marched north, Yellow Sky Sect would even face the risk of annihilation.
Therefore, the team from Yellow Sky Sect stayed the farthest from Dragon Sparrow Manor.
The rest were the forces of the Dragon Breath Sect and Xingtian Sect’s Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
Although they were far from Star State and didn’t belong to the forces south of Tianhe, their sect ultimately did not have a Primordial Spirit True Monarch overseeing it.
If it had not been for the high price offered by Dragon Sparrow Manor, and their solemn promise that Gu Jinlai would undoubtedly die, they wouldn’t have taken the risk for a few Spiritual Artifacts. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
However, Tianhai Gang and the Ouyang Family, confident in their possession of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch and located in the isolated Lizhou State, traveled almost alongside Dragon Sparrow Manor.
In this situation, when Dragon Sparrow Manor was attacked, they were the first to respond.
"Is it Gu Jinlai?"
"He seems not to carry that type of one-time attack Spiritual Artifact—the Heavenly Sword! Daring to make a move without the Heavenly Sword!?"
"Just one man, taking the path of Demon Martial Artists, yet daring to charge at so many of us? How utterly arrogant and disrespectful!"
Ouyang Qing of the Ouyang Family along with Yuan Chaoxi from Tianhai Gang and two others stood up at once.
They also heard Ye Dongliu’s transmission through Divine Sense, "Gentlemen, let’s strike together!"
"Hahaha, no problem, but Elder Ye, since we have made our move, then regardless of the result, Dragon Sparrow Manor must hand over the other half of the Spiritual Artifacts to us."
Yuan Chaoxi quickly said.
"I agree, let’s focus our attack. If things go smoothly, today you may receive the Spiritual Artifacts Dragon Sparrow Manor promised!"
Ye Dongliu readily agreed.
"Good, let’s strike together!"
"At this point, let everyone exert their utmost effort! I refuse to believe he can withstand the simultaneous attack of over a dozen flying swords!"
"Release the swords!"
Divinity Transformation Cultivators communicated swiftly through Divine Thought.
When Gu Jinlai was still nearly a mile away from them, twelve beams of sword radiance soared simultaneously into the clouds.
Of these twelve beams of sword radiance, three belonged to Divinity Transformation Cultivators from Dragon Sparrow Manor, the remaining nine being the strong Divinity Transformation practitioners he had lured recently by promising Spiritual Artifacts.
Aside from Yu Fan from Yellow Sky Sect who was a bit late, the nine powerful Divinity Transformation cultivators as per the agreement sent their flying swords skyrocketing, blending with the beams fired by the three Dragon Sparrow Manor’s Divinity Transformation Cultivators, like twelve streaks of silvery ribbon tearing through the sky dome, carrying a shrill shriek toward Gu Jinlai.
Sword Qi howled like a dozen supersonic missiles being launched.
Even a highly capable fifth-generation fighter jet would be torn apart by such an attack.
However, Gu Jinlai was not a machine.
Summoning his Great Sun True Demon Body, he charged forward with all his might, leaping across a hundred meters in a single bound.
When he sensed the twelve flying swords, combining their power and slashing through the void toward him, he took a deep breath, his True Spirit Core vibrated violently, all his elevated Spiritual Sense was poured into the visualization of the Great Sun Core, transforming into a dazzlingly intense brilliance.
Suddenly, the Yin Gods attached to the twelve flying swords in front of Gu Jinlai saw a Great Sun slowly rising, its light and heat radiating indiscriminately in all directions.
Soul Secret Technique—Great Sun Eternal Radiance!
Under the strong illumination of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique, they all melted rapidly like snow under the fierce sun.
What also melted were the spiritual traits contained in their flying swords.
"Not good! I’ve lost perception of my flying sword..."
"Focus your Divine Sense! Don’t let his Soul Secret Technique falter your thoughts!"
"Break through the intense light, and shoot him directly!"
Divinity Transformation Cultivators’ Divine Thoughts were stimulated, their Yin Gods trembled, some panicked and directly controlled their swords to break through, retreating at full speed.
Some also quickly retracted their Yin Gods due to losing sensation of their flying swords.
But more than half of the Divinity Transformation Cultivators roused the power of their Yin Gods, forcibly breaking through the blinding brilliance, and then...
"Bang!"
Fire and light burst forth!
The keenest and fastest flying sword, embodied with Sharpness and Breaking the Sky traits, charged forth wrapped in the power of Yin God directly in front of Gu Jinlai. Yet before it could showcase its sharpness and fierceness, the radiance of the Cheng Ying Sword had already struck down, carrying the force of thunderous might, fiercely chopping onto this flying sword.
At the moment the two swords collided, a massive, wild energy burst forth, mingled with terrifyingly high temperatures.
"Roar!"
In the void, it was as if hundreds, perhaps thousands of kilograms of explosives had been detonated.His right hand spun the sword blade rapidly.
At this moment, his spiritual sense surged explosively, no longer confined by the strength of his spiritual sense and the power output of the Eternal Furnace, but rather whether he could withstand the explosive thundering himself.
Thus, each of his sword strikes, although seemingly just a flicker of the sword, an effortless dance, still released energy that shattered the void.
To other Divinity Transformation Cultivators, his sword merely seemed to lightly graze another flying sword...
It was equivalent to the energy of a full-force strike from a Primordial Spirit True Monarch, instantly causing an energy wave comparable to the explosion of several hundred or even a thousand kilograms of explosives to sweep out in all directions.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Sword lights broke the sky!
Six swords!
In just one second, Gu Jinlai stabbed out six swords at an inconceivable speed.
Each sword carried power no less than a full-force strike from a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
Each sword’s shockwave was sufficient to blast any expert, even those guarded by Gang Qi, high into the air.
The six shockwaves generated by the one-second-six-swords interlaced, creating a high-frequency oscillation effect that utterly shredded all incoming flying swords and the Yin Gods attached to them.
Even those flying swords that tried to escape quickly were caught in the shockwave, trembling violently, nearly falling from the sky.
In this brief one-second engagement, Gu Jinlai had nullified the strongest Killing Moves of six Divinity Transformation Cultivators and severely damaged three flying swords.
Shrieks of terror and moans of agony resonated hundreds of meters away with the caravan.
As for Gu Jinlai himself...
The shockwave from the explosion slammed into his body, causing his blood and Qi to tumult inside him.
However, he could somewhat control the direction of the energy release, and his Spirit Armor’s exceptional defense let him withstand the assault.
After steadying himself momentarily, his figure sped up again.
His massive form charged full speed, stirring up dust and dirt in a vast sweep towards the direction of the Dragon Sparrow Manor caravan.
Even before he arrived, the demonic and ferocious aura emanating from him rolled forth ominously.
This spectacle caused Yu Fan of the Yellow Sky Sect, whose sword speed was slightly slower, to freeze in expression.
"How could he be... this strong?"
Yu Fan’s voice was somewhat hoarse, "According to investigations from all sides, the reason Gu Jinlai was able to kill Wang Yinfeng and Ye Wuxia, two Primordial Spirit True Monarch Venerable Daoists, was all due to a ’Heavenly Sword’ type of Slaughter Spirit Artifact. He didn’t bring that artifact this time, how could he..."
Watching the terrifying figure enveloped in dust, on the verge of charging into the Dragon Sparrow Manor caravan in just a few seconds...
Even knowing that besides many Divinity Transformation Cultivators, there were numerous Refining God Elders at Dragon Sparrow Manor’s side, he felt no reassurance but rather a tremor and anxiety in his heart.
The next moment, he suddenly jolted up, shouting in panic, "Retreat! Retreat quickly! Let’s leave! The further away from them, the better!"
At his command, the other elders of the Yellow Sky Sect hesitated not a moment, turning around and fleeing as fast as possible.
If twelve Divinity Transformation Cultivators firing together couldn’t handle Gu Jinlai, staying any longer was a death sentence.
...
Meanwhile, inside the Dragon Sparrow Manor team.
The various Divinity Transformation Cultivators whose flying swords were shattered or whose flying sword spirits were shaken appeared deathly pale.
Some, due to the collapse of their Yin Gods, couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
Ye Dongliu, by the advantage of his flying sword, sensing that the situation was wrong, was the first to control his sword to escape the scope of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance, thus preserving himself.
However, seeing the several Divinity Transformation Cultivators from Dragon Sparrow Manor beside him, along with other allies crying unceasingly, his heart suddenly turned ice cold.
Defeated.
They were defeated just like that?
Twelve Divinity Transformation Cultivators working together hadn’t even touched Gu Jinlai’s body, and they had already been defeated and driven back?
Recalling how Gu Jinlai had instantly thrust out six swords, each releasing terrifying energy, he felt dizzy.
"How could this be... How could Gu Jinlai be so powerful!? Didn’t intelligence claim that he was less powerful than an Upper-level Demon with an Undying Demon Body? How could..."
His entire body shook, nearly unable to maintain his stance.
"Ye Dongliu!"
At that moment, an angry and hate-filled roar came from the side.
It was Yuan Chaoxi from the Tianhai Gang, enduring the agony of Yin God backlash, who shouted furiously, "You tricked us! Gu Jinlai is terribly more fearsome than an Upper-level Demon, and you gave us false information just to get us to help Dragon Sparrow Manor deal with Gu Jinlai, dragging our backing forces into this!? How cruel!"
"Retreat! Retreat! Quick, retreat! Ye Dongliu, do you think we’ll willingly be part of your scheme? If I die today, the Ouyang Family will never let you Dragon Sparrow Manor off the hook!"
Another Divinity Transformation Cultivator, Ouyang Qing, also shouted as he quickly fled under the protection of several Refining God Monarchs.
Not just him, others such as from the Dragon Breath Sect and the Xingtian Sect did the same.
"Dragon Sparrow Manor, you are so cruel!"
"I misbelieved your so-called renown of the Six Great Immortal Sects, only to end up in this plight! I am not willing to accept this!"
"Flee! Quick, flee! Gu Jinlai overwhelmed two Primordial Spirit True Monarchs and seven Divinity Transformation Cultivators with his own power alone! How could we possibly fight such a formidable being? We must escape while we can!"
In the midst of angry yells and accusations, the various forces enticed by Dragon Sparrow Manor scattered in dismay.
