Just Now, Xun Huaiying hadn't made a move yet. When she saw that the Sharp Moon Mountain cultivators had been separated by Qing Chenzi's sword-light, she looked down and found one of them. At the same time, she activated her will and a sword-light slashed down.
The cultivator's protective magic treasure didn't have much effect. The moment the sword-light touched it, it let out a wail and was split open. Then, the sword-light didn't stop and continued to slash at his avatar.
He was terrified. He knew that such a flying sword was extremely fast. If his avatar was slashed open like before, he wouldn't have a chance to recover. He would only be continuously whittled away by the sword-light until his essence Qi and magic power were exhausted and he died. Thus, he hurriedly shifted his roots and dodged the attack.
However, he soon realized that his magic power and Qi activity had decreased by a lot for no reason. Feeling that something was wrong, he hurriedly used his divine will to deduce and quickly figured out the reason. It turned out that there was something special about this sword technique. When he sensed the sword, he was actually affected by it. Every time the sword appeared, a part of his vitality and essence Qi would be shaved off.
His expression instantly became very ugly. If his magic power and essence Qi were completely destroyed, how could he even talk about shifting his roots?
In reality, the Shaoqing Killing Sword lineage's cultivators could seize everything other than themselves. When facing enemies of the same generation, they didn't need to deliberately deduce their roots. They could just swing their swords. If the swordmaster's cultivation was high enough, a single sword would be enough to destroy the opponent's vitality.
The cultivator understood that if he allowed Xun Huaiying to do as she wished, he would definitely die. Thus, he repeatedly calculated in his divine will and tried to find a way to deal with it.
However, after using up a lot of his divine will, he realized that he had no other choice but to choose to attack. Thus, he gritted his teeth and shot out all the magic treasures he had that were used to counter the flying swords. Then, he poured all his magic power into it.
This was undoubtedly a desperate move, but he had no other choice, because he had no way of stopping his opponent's flying sword from killing him. Thus, rather than having his magic power slowly depleted during the battle, he might as well use it now, and he might even have a sliver of a chance to suppress his opponent.
Xun Huaiying activated the flying swords and instantly split them into hundreds of sword-lights that poured towards the person. Along the way, the magic treasures and magic power that attacked him were all destroyed. Then, there was no more obstruction as the sword slashed past the person. In an instant, the cultivator's magic power and essence Qi were all taken away. As his last trace of vitality disappeared, there was a rumble and a void whirlpool appeared out of nowhere, swallowing everything.
Xun Huaiying looked down. Under the deterrence of Qing Chenzi and Ran Xiushu's cooperation, he didn't even need to use the divine ability in his sword. He only needed to use the most ordinary method to kill this person. Next, he just needed to repeat what he had done and eliminate these people one by one.
He immediately used his magic power and searched for the next person.
Because the cultivators of Mount Rhinoceros were illuminated by the sword light, they couldn't see anyone else. However, their divine wills couldn't be blocked, so it wasn't difficult for them to sense that they were missing one person.
It had only been a short while since they were separated, but one person had already been defeated. Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in their hearts, worried that they would be the next target.
In fact, Just Now, the formations that were set up against Sword Immortals didn't have any effect, which was enough to dampen their fighting spirit. At that moment, it wasn't that no one tried to escape, but every time they tried to move, they felt a sense of danger. There was no doubt that they were being watched by Ran Xiushu, so they had no choice but to give up the idea.
After Xun Huaiying found the second person, it didn't take him long to finish him off. At that moment, his gaze shifted and paused on the cultivator surnamed Gu for a moment. Then, he went straight for the third person. When he found him and used his sword to cut him down, the result was as expected.
When Zhen Shang Gourd noticed that the Qi activity of his fellow sect members disappeared one by one, his heart sank.
He originally thought that he could deal with these sword cultivators by relying on the formations and the divine powers and techniques that he had prepared for thousands of years. He didn't expect that these arrangements would be so weak. If he had known this would happen, he would've retreated. Perhaps he could've kept the resources that he had accumulated for thousands of years.
He knew that he couldn't win this time. At that moment, he didn't want to win, he just wanted to escape.
He thought to himself, "Looks like I can only rely on that thing."
He raised it and shook his sleeve, but a cloud of gray mist scattered out. From time to time, tiny strands of colored light could be seen rolling in it.
This thing actually had a long history. Back when the sword immortals were still in this world, there were often demons that invaded from outside the Heaven and Earth Gate. However, few of them were able to threaten the sword cultivators. There was only one time when a group of formless monsters crossed over to fight with them. Its body could release a strange mist that not only made people's minds sluggish, but it also had the ability to restrain flying swords. The sword immortals spent a lot of effort to kill the monster ancestor.
He had a deep memory of this, so after he occupied this world, he ordered people to pass through the Realm Gate and tried to find such monsters. He succeeded in refining a similar mist from these monsters.
However, these monsters were very rare, so it wasn't easy to collect them. He had a lot of them, but it was barely enough for him to use. Otherwise, he would've had everyone.
Once this thing was taken out, it only took a moment for it to envelop his entire body.
Qing Chenzi saw a cloud of gray mist spread out below him. He stood up and shone his sword light on it, but all he saw was darkness, as if something was blocking it.
Ran Xiushu made a sound of surprise, and a hint of interest appeared on his face. He was originally staring at Genuine Gourd, but under the cover of the gray mist, his senses became blurry, and he even showed signs of breaking away from it.
Xun Huaiying didn't care about this. Even though the sword lights that slashed down earlier had all entered the mist and no longer received any response, in his eyes, there was nothing in the world that he couldn't slash apart. If one slash wasn't enough, he would use two slashes. If two slashes weren't enough, he would use three slashes, or even a thousand or ten thousand slashes! With a thought, the sword pill instantly turned into countless sword lights that descended. Under the penetrating attacks that were like a tidal wave, the gray mist was clearly unable to resist, and it was slowly being whittled away.
At that moment, Genuine Gourd was hiding in the mist and fleeing into the distance. He realized that this method had indeed caused his opponent some trouble, but that was all. It didn't have the effect of suppressing his opponent as he had hoped. If he couldn't escape in time, he might die here.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing also affected him. When he was surrounded by it, he couldn't shift into the void. Otherwise, as long as he shook off the deterrence of Ran Xiushu's Supreme Sword, it wouldn't be difficult for him to escape.
However, to his surprise, the mist faded faster than he imagined. In just a few breaths' time, it had become extremely thin from its original dense mass. When the last layer of mist was peeled away, countless sword lights pierced through his body. He couldn't help but be dazed as he stood there in a daze.
At that moment, the sword Qi that had separated him from his fellow Daoists seemed to have disappeared. He slowly shifted his gaze and saw that only he and the cultivator with the surname Gu were still standing there. When the latter saw him looking over, he cupped his hands and bowed, saying, "Genuine Gourd."
Genuine Gourd stared at him for a long time. It wasn't difficult for him to guess why he was still standing there. He asked in a low voice, "Why is it like this?"
The cultivator with the surname Gu looked up without a trace of shame. He said, "Has Fellow Daoist Gourd forgotten? I was originally not a cultivator of Mount Rhinoceros. I was only forced by you to swallow up my sect. I haven't forgotten my origin."
Genuine Gourd said, "But my Mount Rhinoceros has treated you well. The things you used to cultivate were all given to you by my Mount Rhinoceros."
The cultivator with the surname Gu shook his head. "That's why I didn't add insult to injury."
Genuine Gourd flicked his sleeve and turned his face to the side. He said, "Don't appear in front of me again. You're a fickle person!"
The cultivator with the surname Gu looked at him and nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he stopped and added, "There's no need to mention those things. This place originally belonged to those sword immortals. Fellow Daoist is just being generous. If I want to thank someone, it should be the owner of this place." After he finished speaking, he clasped his hands and left.
Gourd Shang Zhen sneered a few times, looked up at the sky for a moment, then closed his eyes. A moment later, with a rumbling sound, his entire body collapsed, and then a mysterious hole appeared in the sky, swallowing him.
Seeing that all his enemies were dead, Qing Chenzi changed his mind and put away the sword energy.
At this moment, he felt a fluctuation of spiritual energy from the Heaven and Earth Gate. He looked over and saw a cultivator in brocade clothes enter the Inner Realm. He arrived before the three of them and respectfully said, "I'm Winged Shang Zonglu. Greetings, fellow cultivators."
Ran Xiushu looked at him and asked curiously, "Just Now Sir has left. Why did you come back?"
Earlier, he'd clearly noticed that after the formation was broken, this person had already left the formation and fled. Moreover, he'd quickly passed through a door of the heavens and the earth and left this place. Because this person's aura was completely different from the cultivators of Lunar Rhino Mountain, he didn't stop him, yet he never expected that this person would return to his side.
Taoist Lu said sincerely, "I'm not on the same side as those cultivators of Rhinoceros Moon Mountain. I came here just to ask for a place to stay. The reason why I'm back now is that I may have the information you need."
Qing Chenzi said, "What does Sir know?"
Daoist Lu said, "I heard from Gourd that your sect is looking for those disciples who are stranded outside? In this regard, I might be able to help. "
Qing Chenzi looked at him and said, "Sir knows the whereabouts of those disciples?"
Daoist Lu smiled and said, "Yes, my disciples have traveled a lot and have some dealings with your sect's disciples, so I know their whereabouts."
Qing Chenzi said in a deep voice, "What does Daoist Lu want?"
Taoist Lu bowed again and said, "My disciples and I have drifted here hundreds of years ago. This place is rich in spiritual vigor, a rare treasure land. Could you allow us to stay in your sect's territory for a few days?"
