Chapter 945: Chapter 397: Returning to the Immortal Mansion, The Change of the Altar_1

The speed of this streak of light was truly too fast; all the Spirit Transformation cultivators present, even the three at the Spirit Transformation Peak like Zhu Sui, failed to notice it.

However, they simultaneously heard a series of changes in sounds.

The sounds varied in strength, and following these sounds, the Extreme Cold Light Pillar that had been spraying from the side, seemed to have been sliced open by something, its power dissipated for the moment, and the Half-Immortal Wolf Demon behind the Extreme Cold Light Pillar stiffened, a scratch appearing on its neck.

On the other side, the multitude of Sword Lights coming from the front seemed to collide with an obstacle and exploded one after another, scattering across the void, gradually extinguishing.

All these changes took place in less than half a breath.

“Hmm?”

Two surprised and doubtful sounds rang out simultaneously from right ahead and the right side.

The second voice had just noticed that the Sword Lights it had sent out had been nullified by some indistinct attack and uttered a sound of surprise and doubt.

But the first sound was different because, in the blink of an eye, the speaker realized the connection with his contracted Demon Cultivator had been severed. Beyond the surprise, a look of shock appeared in a split second,

His contracted Demon Cultivator was at the Half-Immortal State, with combat and life-saving skills even stronger than his own. In this brief moment, he only saw a flash of silvery-white light before losing the contract connection, which was more than enough to horrify him.

But he did not sense Immortal Power; there should be no Immortals in this place.

Elsewhere.

Just as these voices and changes occurred, the cultivators in the extreme danger had already reacted, their eyes blazing with determination, calling forth their Spiritual Treasures at the first opportunity.

An elder cultivator, also at the Spirit Transformation Peak like Zhu Sui, flipped his hands and produced a golden Spirit Pearl the size of a palm, and with a fierce toss, the Spirit Pearl scattered apart, releasing a beam of Golden Light like an arrow, shooting towards the Half-Immortal at the side.

This golden Spirit Pearl was a one-time-use Peak Spiritual Treasure, one of the killer moves of this elder, and in this life-or-death moment, he sacrificed it without regret, seeking only to survive.

Zhu Sui, too, spewed out a mouthful of blood, half a breath ahead in reaction, launching the Soul-breaking Sky Shuttle. Having invoked the golden shuttle with his lifeblood, the shuttle radiated Golden Light and blasted toward an unguarded position to his left, seeking to break through the Fifth-Stage Peak Array for a chance at survival.

At the same time.

A silvery-white light appeared within the exploded Sword Light, transforming into an irregular metallic fragment—it was, in fact, a piece of the Heavenly Demon Halberd.

Han Yi, who was behind the group of cultivators, didn’t burst into action when the two Half-Immortals activated the array. Instead, he waited until they made their move to trigger the Heavenly Demon Halberd fragment.

Moreover, he didn’t trigger any Immortal Skill, but wielded it with the power of someone at the Extreme Realm Peak. Still, this surprise attack managed to slay the Half-Immortal Demon Cultivator. However, the residual force wasn’t strong; rather than trying to target the Half-Immortals after killing the Demon Cultivator, Han Yi chose to return and block the Sword Light.

By doing this, he gave the cultivators a chance to catch their breath.

He also hoped that Zhu Sui would take this opportunity to break the array; that way, he would have his own way out.

As the Heavenly Demon Halberd manifested amidst the dispersed Sword Light, the cultivators saw it, and naturally, the two Half-Immortals also sensed the source of this terrifying attack.

The Half-Immortal Sword Cultivator from the front let out a heavy snort and resumed the attack. This time, he didn’t trigger Sword Light but instead hurled his Sword Tool into the air.

The long sword shone brightly for ten thousand zhang, piercing through space and crashing into the Heavenly Demon Halberd fragment suspended in the void.

“A Half-Immortal Item.”

Han Yi’s expression grew solemn; this Sword Tool was actually a Half-Immortal Item. This was the first time he was facing a Half-Immortal who possessed a Half-Immortal Item-level sword.

In that instant, the might of the Half-Immortal Sword Tool was so overwhelming that everyone felt as if they were suffocating.

You will die.

Even the elder cultivators who had just invoked the Soul-breaking Sky Shuttle or used the one-time-use Peak Spiritual Treasure paled, suddenly filled with the intent to die.

Come to think of it.

From the moment Zhu Sui’s voice fell, the Half-Immortals launched their attacks, the cultivators despaired, but then saw a mysterious silvery-white Spiritual Treasure blocking the numerous attacks. Furthermore, in a split-second, this Spiritual Treasure, almost like a stealth attack, decapitated the Half-Immortal Demon Cultivator.

Next, the cultivators seized this brief gap to counterattack or prepare to invoke methods to breach the array, but then feared for their lives again under the full force of the Half-Immortal’s sword.

All these events unfolded in just half a breath’s time.

Han Yi, by the cultivators’ side, sighed softly. Given the circumstances, there was no time for him to think or hold back.

Even if he abandoned everyone else, he wasn’t certain he could break the Fifth-Stage Peak Array, unless he employed the Sword Controlling Immortal Skill. But after that, facing the pursuit of two Half-Immortals, it would be a certain death.

And if he didn’t break the Fifth-Stage Peak Array, with the two Half-Immortals on guard, his Extreme Sword Control Skill, even at its limits, may not be enough to kill them.

In that case.

Then…

Murder intent surged in Han Yi’s eyes, and with a thought, the Heavenly Demon Halberd fragment was already before him, grasped in his hand. Next, divine fire expanded around his body, and Mana, Divine Force, and demonic power from within him merged together, giving rise to a formidable force climbing in intensity.

At this point, the other cultivators realized that the one who had just killed the Half-step Evil Immortal and blocked the Half-Immortal Sword Light was none other than the young Spirit Transformation cultivator by their side who had not made a move the entire way.

If this Spirit Transformation cultivator’s hidden card was so powerful, what would happen next…

A desire for life rekindled in the eyes of the cultivators.

In this brief breath, their mental state had been through ups and downs, and to say it was a roller coaster wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
