Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Sword Slays Ten Thousand Miles_i
Translator: 549690339
Everything happened too quickly, too suddenly for anyone to be prepared!
Li Cheng was only able to wield his sword in time to destroy the attack above Li City, but he had no time to protect the other seven cities.
After all, the range of the formation’s envelopment was too large; managing to protect Li City was already quite an achievement.
“The second wave of attacks is about to fall. We must destroy the formation’s base, or slay those controlling the formation,” Feng Wanli said, his face filled with urgency, but in his current state, he was completely helpless.
Li Cheng nodded, “The people controlling the formation are scattered across the Eight Cities, and the formation’s base is hidden within the cities. It’s not something that can be dealt with quickly. Moreover, this formation is tricky; destroying just one city’s people or formation base won’t affect the others.”
As he spoke, Li Cheng looked towards the hall, “Elder Sect Master, release them, unless you want me to use force.”
The Elder Sect Master didn’t hesitate even slightly, retracting the Glaze Sky- Concealing Cover and laughing, “As you wish, after all, their coming out won’t change anything now.”
With the suppression of the Glaze Sky-Concealing Cover gone, the various Sect Masters had no time for words. They rose into the sky and rushed towards their respective sect strongholds.
They all knew very well what to do.
They had to act fast, find those driving the great formation, and slay them in order to minimize the deaths and losses.
But they also knew it would be difficult because the Loose Immortals from the major sects attending the conference wouldn’t exceed ten people.
Bai Tieyi rushed over, and with a slap sent the Elder Sect Master flying, “Have you gone mad? To actually join the Ten Thousand Evils Cave and do such things?”
“Haha, why so agitated? Our Heavenly Mechanism Sect won’t suffer any losses. Didn’t you see? Earlier, I protected the Heaven Secret Courtyard with a formation,” the Elder Sect Master got up, laughing heartily.
Li Cheng paid no attention to them, instead lifting his gaze to the already healed light membrane in the sky, quickly pondering a solution. If he couldn’t come up with one, he would have to forcefully break the formation!
“Be careful!”
Mu Xingzhi’s cry of alarm sounded, but it was already too late!
All saw Bai Tieyi and the Elder Sect Master, one to the left, one to the right, sword and blade in hand, both striking with full force at Li Cheng!
Their movements were incredibly fast, and the distance was short. Mu Xingzhi had barely spoken, and the blade and sword had already struck Li Cheng!
With a clang, Li Cheng’s clothes were blown to shreds by the powerful force!
Unexpectedly, Li Cheng stood unmovable in his spot, while Bai Tieyi and the Elder Sect Master, on the other hand, were both sent flying backward simultaneously.
The hearts that everyone had just raised were once again put to rest, only to be replaced by thick surprise written across their faces.
Were those two not tenth-trial Loose Immortals? Even with a full-force surprise attack, they couldn’t break through Li Cheng’s physical defenses?
Looking at Li Cheng’s glowing, perfect body, tall and well-proportioned, the female disciples at the scene were already spellbound.
Li Cheng sighed, and with a gentle push of his hands through the air, the Space Law enveloped the two, binding them in place.
“Your current cultivation levels are inextricably linked to the Responding to Calamity Pills I refined. I was puzzled— with me around, do you really need to work for the Ten Thousand Evils Cave?”
When Bai Tieyi first met him, he was only a fifth-trial Loose Immortal. In just a few short months, he had reached the tenth trial with the help of the Responding to Calamity Pill!
Could the Ten Thousand Evils Cave have done that?
Definitely not!
“Once you enter the abyss, there’s no turning back. It’s your fault for appearing too late!” Bai Tieyi said indifferently.
“Who else from the sect has joined the Ten Thousand Evils Cave?” Mu Xingzhi asked, his expression turning ugly. The Elder Sect Master was his mentor!
When he sensed the Cover of Heaven being broken through, he had felt the Elder Sect Master’s presence, but he didn’t dare to speak of it, nor could he bring himself to believe it.
Now, however, the truth was before his eyes.
The Elder Sect Master had concealed the Heaven’s Secrets!
Mu Xingzhi felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, his most revered mentor, for reasons unknown, had strayed onto the wrong path some time ago.
“Let me suppress them for now; we’ll talk later. Right now, I’ll break the formation with all my strength,” Li Cheng said, and with one step, he was above the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
This was the central region defended by the Eight Cities, the heart of the Eight Cities!
Gazing down at all directions, Li Cheng took a deep breath, his eyes gradually sharpening, his body surrounded by Sword Path Rules that suddenly swept out with the power of Immortal Yuan!
In front of him, the Void Snow Sword began to tremble violently!
“Sword!”
“Come!”
With each word thunderously shouted, Li Cheng slightly raised his arms, and suddenly all the longswords within the formation began vibrating intensely, the sound of swords ringing incessantly!
The next moment, from the Taoist Mysterious Sect and the Eight Cities, countless longswords transformed into beams of light, shooting up into the sky!
Under the night sky, tens of thousands of longswords shimmered with sword light, like a meteor shower piercing heavenward, a sight so magnificent!
Immediately afterward, this meteor shower converged, turning into streams of Sword Qi, rushing towards Li Cheng!
Li Cheng exerted his full strength to activate the Sword Path Rules, unleashing various Laws, and with the Void Snow Sword and Space Law as a guide, he finally gathered the myriad longswords above.
“Break for me… break!”
The roar echoed throughout heaven and earth!
As Li Cheng roared, the countless longswords burst forth with stunning sword radiance, like fireworks exploding, shooting in all directions!
Wherever the sword radiance passed, the light membrane enveloping the world shattered inch by inch, and in the blink of an eye, it completely vanished!
The Loose Immortals who had been activating the formation were all rebounded by the vast Sword Intent, one by one spitting blood, their internal channels shattered!
Even worse, some had their Nascent Souls shattered, falling on the spot!
“It’s broken!”
The formation that was gathering for a second round of attacks broke just like that!
The intertwined Spirit Senses of countless experts searched for those Loose Immortals who had suffered backlash, and not much later, the battle fluctuations rose, the Eight Cities all plunging into chaos!
Li Cheng, panting, said, “Feng Wanli, I’m so tired, it’ll probably take tens of thousands of Immortal Stones to recover.”
Feng Wanli rolled his eyes, “I’m even more tired, and I’m in such a pitiable state, my Immortal Body has been shattered, who should I look for?”
“That’s true, where’s the guy who ambushed you? Can you sense him?” Li Cheng instantly regained his composure and asked.
That all-out strike just now had swept through ten thousand miles, and while it was a significant drain, it was not as exaggerated as Li Cheng made it seem; his panting was just for show.
Feng Wanli’s expression suddenly turned awkward; he was a fully realized Heavenly Immortal, after all, to be reduced to having his physical body shattered by a single move was bad enough, but what was more humiliating was that he hadn’t even sensed who the attacker was!
He suddenly felt that the waters of the Kunlun Realm were too deep!
This realm, which had existed for countless ages, was too dangerous!
Seeing Feng Wanli’s expression, Li Cheng guessed that this guy, despite his complete cultivation as a Heavenly Immortal, had not even detected the enemy!
However, this also showed how formidable their opponent’s cultivation must be!
Probably not weaker than the eighteen Tribulation Loose Immortals that had been slain.
“The person’s concealment technique is quite powerful, we’d better be careful,” Feng Wanli said.
Though he said this, with Li Cheng present, he wasn’t really worried, for he had witnessed the scene of the two Loose Immortals of ten Tribulations ambushing them with his own eyes.
“Was your storage ring taken by him? Try sensing it,” Li Cheng said.
A storage ring required a master to activate, and to be the master naturally left an imprint of Immortal Sense, perhaps through this trace, they could sense the whereabouts of that person.
The reason for the person to ambush Feng Wanli first was straightforward: they must have been worried that Feng Wanli, a Heavenly Immortal, would spoil their plans!
It was also possible that they sensed the Ten Thousand Aspects Soul Seal on Feng Wanli and wanted to take it back.
If that was the case, then Feng Wanli had become a scapegoat.
“I’ll try!” With a thought, Feng Wanli realized this might be the only way to find the person.
