Chapter 665: Setup

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiu Lu’s words might be commanding but it had to be said that attacking together was the safest way.

If they attacked one by one, they might end up like the sword cultivator who had fallen into the pit just now.

He was nailed to the ground by thousands of swords, his soul extracted, and he died tragically!

Le Zhengchi did not say anything. He did not even look at Qiu Lu as he hugged his zither and jumped down.

Seeing this, Ye Qiubai glanced at Zhuang Zidong and said, “Let’s go too.”

Zhuang Zidong nodded slightly.

The two of them also jumped into the pit.

Qiu Lu and Su Hao followed closely behind.

The formation of the five was very simple.

Le Zhengchi walked at the forefront.

Ye Qiubai and Zhuang Zidong stood in the middle.

Qiu Lu and Su Hao were in the rear.

However, under the barrage of ten thousand swords, the formation was useless since there wouldn’t be any blind spots.

Once the densely packed tens of thousands of swords in the sky were triggered, they could only resist it forcefully. It was useless to escape.

The five of them kept moving forward, he walked slowly and was not in a hurry.

Under the observation of the five people, the tip of the 10,000 swords in the sky was slowly moving, but it was still facing the top of their heads.

A resplendent galaxy stretched across the sky.

Starlight sprinkled down.

They gathered in the stone pillars that connected the heavens and the earth, exuding an extraordinary suppressive force.

Moreover, there were tens of thousands of swords in the sky.

The already silent pit had an incomparably oppressive aura.

They were still 500 meters away from the palace under the stone pillar.

400 meters…

At that time, when the sword cultivator was 300 meters away, he suddenly accelerated, and the ten thousand swords were activated!

Whether it was Ye Qiubai or Le Zhengchi, who had a calm expression, their expressions became more and more solemn.

Their pace began to slow down.

Every step they took on the yellow soil became heavier and heavier.

Qiu Lu said, “Get ready. We’re almost there…”

No one was more than 30 steps away from the sword cultivator’s skeleton…

Su Hao was the first to pull out his sword, and Sword Intent soared into the sky!

Qiu Lu also drew a flexible sword from his waist.

Under the infusion of Sword Intent, the soft sword instantly straightened!

A half-step Extraordinary Sword Intent surged out at this moment.

Le Zhengchi placed two fingers on the strings of the zither and restrained his Sword Intent.

Ye Qiubai also held the Chaos Essence Immortal Sword and was prepared to use the Sword Domain at any time!

Only Zhuang Zidong held a sword in his hand, but he did not release Sword Intent.

However, at this moment, the others did not notice Zhuang Zidong. They were focused on the ten thousand swords in the sky.

Ye Qiubai frowned slightly.

However, he didn’t say anything.

Le Zhengchi was at the front of the group. When he stepped on the spot where the sword cultivator’s bones were, the ten thousand swords above moved at this moment!

One after another, they turned their swords around and pierced towards Le Zhengchi and the others with ear-piercing screeches!

Seeing this, Le Zhengchi immediately held the zither with one hand and placed two fingers on the zither string with the other.

Clang!

The guqin music was about to begin!

The musical notes that sounded like flowing spring water turned into swords at this moment. They turned into hundreds and thousands of swords and shot towards each other!

Ye Qiubai took a big step forward and stepped over the sword cultivator’s skeleton. He raised his sword!

Extraordinary Sword Intent shot out in all directions.

The sword domain turned into the first barrier and blocked the tens of thousands of swords!

Similarly, Qiu Lu and Su Hao would not hide anything.

He had to let go of all the hatred from before.

Only by working together could they survive this test.

If he still wanted to frame others, he would only harm himself…

The four people’s sword intents kept whistling.

It kept colliding with the ten thousand swords in the sky.

The swords that kept falling from the sky collided with the Sword Intent, emitting clanging sounds.

Even though it was repelled by the Sword Intent, when the Sword Intent was neutralized, the sword that had been repelled would also reposition itself and quickly launch a new round of attacks at Ye Qiubai and the others!

Ye Qiubai said in a low voice, “Move forward quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be exhausted to death here.”

Before Ye Qiubai could finish, Le Zhengchi and the others defended themselves as they charged forward.

The five of them moved forward faster and faster.

He was getting closer and closer to the palace.

The tens of thousands of swords pierced at an even faster speed!

The celestial sword intent on it was also as sharp as the naked eye.

Upon seeing this, Le Zhengchi’s brows knitted tightly together. He placed three fingers on the zither strings at the same time, and the rhythm of the zither music also changed.

From the sound of flowing spring water, it turned into an attack by ten thousand troops!

Ye Qiubai was about to pierce out with his sword.

Zhuang Zidong, who was at the side, twisted the tip of his sword.

His legs began to speed up one after another. He turned around and rushed towards Ye Qiubai!

Zhuang Zidong had actually abandoned the longsword in his hand.

His originally expressionless face was now filled with a sinister smile.

His eyes also became long and narrow.

Le Zhengchi, Qiu Lu, and Su Hao also noticed this scene.

They were all slightly shocked.

Wasn’t Zhuang Zidong from the same sect as Ye Qiubai?

Why did they attack him?

Moreover, it was under such circumstances where he could die at any moment.

Even if they had a grudge, didn’t they have to wait until they escaped from this place and reached the palace before it was convenient for them to attack?

Ye Qiubai sneered.

He finally couldn’t take it anymore?

Then, he took out a talisman.

The power of lightning surged on the talisman!

Ye Qiubai activated the talisman, and it turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

Zhuang Zidong was slightly stunned.

His palm struck the air.

Ripples also appeared in that space.

When he looked up again, he realized that Ye Qiubai had already appeared at the entrance of the palace.

Even though cultivation was restricted in Death Soul City, there were no restrictions.

At this moment, Ye Qiubai had to admit that it was really convenient to have a junior talisman master.

Of course, why didn’t he use the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman directly previously?

Ye Qiubai had naturally thought of using the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman to cross the huge pit and arrive in front of the palace.

However, when he recalled Zhuang Zidong’s various abnormalities, he thought of the scene of the soul body wanting to seize the soul in the outer city.

He had already imagined it.

Could Zhuang Zidong have been possessed?

With this guess, Ye Qiubai decided to take the risk and temporarily not use the Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman. He stepped into the pit with everyone.

Under the attack of ten thousand swords, it would definitely expose a huge flaw.

At that time, if Zhuang Zidong wanted to make a move after being possessed, he would definitely make a move at that moment.

As the soul body of a mighty being, if he wanted to pass this test, he had to have his own way.

Therefore, Ye Qiubai set this up.

He really managed to get it.

At this moment, Ye Qiubai didn’t push open the palace door and enter.

Instead, he pulled out the Chaos Essence Immortal Sword and slashed at Zhuang Zidong!
