Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Attribute Points Allocation

Chapter 880: Chapter 429 This Sword Is Terrifying_2

Yet, even with Yi Jian Sect’s profound foundations and numerous strengths, they couldn’t stop him.

“Whoever blocks my path, dies!”

A cold Sword Intent spread through the air, the black sword Qi swirling like an erupting Black Dragon from the Abyss, filled with lethal threats, shivering the hearts of those who merely glanced at it.

Combined with Xiao Chen’s ghostly movements, he appeared like an envoy of the Abyss walking among men, each slash of his sword taking a fresh life.

And thus, the two weakest Saints perished, enraging Sect Master Xu Hao and the Elder wielding the sword to a furious outburst, both of them recklessly exploding with power.

The other two Elders, Saints of the Second level, were previously intimidated by Xiao Chen’s outburst, so they didn’t dare to attack proactively, providing assistance from the sidelines, and seizing opportunities to strike whenever they could.

...

Boom!

A thirty-foot-long Sword of Divine Spirit materialized, unleashing terrifying power as it slashed towards Xiao Chen.

Almost immediately, a black sword Qi was slashed out in response.

Unfortunately, strong as the black sword Qi was, it couldn’t withstand the Sword of Divine Spirit.

The Sword of Divine Spirit continued to stretch and expand, effortlessly penetrating the black sword Qi and unleashing horrifying sword radiance that engulfed and covered Xiao Chen entirely.

Feeling the overwhelming and fearsome impact of the sword Qi, Xiao Chen’s face remained stoic as he breathed in the Power of the World, and, as though it were a part of him, he slashed out once more, unleashing a fierce Sword Intent in an instant.

The Sword Intent soared into the sky, breaking through all laws.

From his long sword sprouted a grey-black sword Qi that in an instant shattered the Divine Spirit giant sword, neutralizing the attack before him.

In the next moment, Xiao Chen took to the air, his speed unimaginably fast, the Sword Light splitting apart, his form turning into nine afterimages.

During the Domain of Slaughter, he could only create six such afterimages, but after repeated training and growth, having fully consolidated and absorbed the inheritance, and together with his fearsome genius, he had now reached the level where he could split into nine afterimages.

The instant the afterimages were created, swords Qi crisscrossed in their wake.

Seeing this, the faces of the four Yi Jian Sect members changed as they found themselves enveloped by the fearsome sword Qi.

“Be careful.”

The sword-wielding Elder’s expression was solemn but not overly worried.

He could handle sword Qi of this level, but the other two Saint Realm Elders were clearly outmatched.

Indeed, after blocking the sword Qi, the two Elders were as pale as death, having obviously suffered significant injuries.

In the Saint Realm, they would be considered mighty high above the average cultivator, but in this battle, they could barely protect themselves.

Those nine afterimages seemed as real as anything, indistinguishable from the truth, and even when sensed with consciousness, they felt like real people.

With a roar, Xu Hao took out a mirror, which flickered with light, adorned like stars, the silver-white radiance spilled forth, illuminating the afterimages.

This was a five-seal level Daoist Device capable of seeing through illusions, breaking all deceits.

However, when the mirror’s light spilled upon the afterimages, each one seemed as real as the next, with strong Sword Intent bursting forth, Sword Light splitting and slashing towards everyone.

Seeing this, Xu Hao’s complexion drastically changed.

Even the five-seal Daoist Device, the Silver Moon Mirror, couldn’t discern the truth; such illusory incarnations were definitely not common Divine Abilities.

In the flash of Thunder, Xiao Chen’s nine afterimages reached their attack, each ‘Xiao Chen’ bearing a powerful Sword Intent, concentrating identical deadly moves, making it impossible to tell which was the real one.

“Not good, I’m in grave danger.”

The two Saints of the Entering Saint Realm, Second level, were terrified, believing that they were Xiao Chen’s target, as World Power surged from their Cave Heavens, constructing absolute domains within a dozen yards to protect themselves.

The Elder wielding the sword and Xu Hao also felt a significant threat from the afterimages closing in on them, almost instinctively believing they were Xiao Chen’s targets, so they could only protect themselves, unable to look out for others.

Especially Xu Hao, who found himself attacked by three ‘Xiao Chens,’ with each burst of energy reaching the Saint Venerate Realm, not much weaker than his own.

In such a situation, he was certain he was the target.

Unleashing the pinnacle of his strength to kill the strongest enemy, then the others would pose no threat.

That was definitely the opponent’s plan.

Xu Hao thought as much.

But just then, the three afterimages attacking him suddenly vanished.

On the other side, the two residual shadows heading towards Elder Swordsmen disappeared simultaneously.

“Not good.”

“Damn, we’ve been duped.”

Xu Hao and Elder Swordsmen had the same thought flash through their minds.

In that instant, a long sword suddenly pierced through the absolute domain, with the realm of a Saint being as if nonexistent before the sword light.

And in the moment the absolute domain shattered, the Elder’s body immediately retreated explosively, his long sword crazily gathering power while he shouted loudly, “His real body is here, come quickly to aid me!”

As soon as he spoke, he unleashed the extreme power of his realm, slicing out a powerful sword radiance toward Lu Yun.

But in the very next moment, he was stupefied; the residual shadow suddenly vanished, and the sword light was easily dissipated by him.

“Sorry, I’m here.”

An icy voice came from behind him, along with it a chilling cold that seeped deep into his soul.

However, this was only a fleeting moment, soon his consciousness sank into the abyss, devoid of any sensation of the cold.

The sword Qi struck from behind him, piercing through the physical body, freezing the Nascent Soul, leaving him no chance to struggle.

The abrupt turn of events plunged another Saint-level Elder into a state of shock.

Consider, if the target of Xiao Chen’s sneak attack had been him, could he have defended against it?

No, he couldn’t have.

He was certain of it.

The indistinguishable residual shadows, unable to discern the real body’s location, unable to respond in time.

Even, he doubted if those nine residual shadows could all turn into the real body if that’s what the assailant wished.

In other words, if the opponent wanted to kill him, it would be effortless.

Realizing this, a seed of fear planted itself in his heart, slowly beginning to sprout.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The residual shadows tore through the air, the long sword leaving its mark, Xu Hao and Elder Swordsmen attacked Xiao Chen together, an outburst at its extreme, the power of a Saint Venerate displayed to its fullest.

The consecutive fall of three Enter the Saint Realm Elders completely angered them.

Each Enter the Saint Realm Elder was a pillar-like figure, requiring cultivation of several hundred or even a thousand years before one appeared, and to be slain just like that, particularly in front of their eyes, how could they not be enraged.

Especially Elder Swordsmen, for the sake of expanding the Yi Jian Sect, so much so that he personally attended each disciple’s recruitment event, all to discover real geniuses.

Looking at any top power in the Hundred Battle Domain, how could a Saint Venerate powerhouse possibly attend every year’s disciple recruitment ceremony disregarding their status?

It was exactly because he had invested too much heart and soul into the Yi Jian Sect that he was always personally involved.

But just now, two Saints and one Saint Venerate, pillar-like Elders of the Yi Jian Sect, fell in succession, thoroughly enraging him.

“If I do not kill you today, I would disgrace the former position I held as the Sect’s Sword Elder.”

Heaven-shaking Sword Light split the sky, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, instilling the fear of falling into hell and impending death.

Despite Elder Swordsmen being only at the mid-stage of Saint Venerate, through the evolution of his sword domain, his strength was almost equivalent to that of the late Saint Venerate stage, nearly catching up to the Sect Master,” said the other Elder, his eyes shining as he looked at Elder Swordsmen with anticipation and envy.

The sword domain, something not just anyone could possess—looking across the entire Yi Jian Sect, not many have evolved their own sword domain—Elder Swordsmen was one of the few.

As for him, even though he’d already attained the Saint Realm in cultivation, he was still shut out from the gate of the sword domain, unable to advance further.

“The sword domain is not for you to use in such a manner,” Xiao Chen’s voice dropped at the instant, and everything around changed, the flow of time slowing down, by at least several times.

Simultaneously, a gray-black sword radiance burst forth from the long sword in Xiao Chen’s hand, splitting the sky, wielding unmatched sharpness and terrifying brilliancy.

When this sword fell, the sky seemed to turn into an ink painting, pitch black, with the sword light tearing through it, a gray-black canvas ripping apart, a sword that spanned heaven and earth, cutting across.

In this sword, Elder Swordsmen felt an ineffable threat, rife with infinite chill and endless intent to kill.

This sword was terrifying.
