Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Lord Azure Bear Arrives
The Demon Sword, Xie Buhui, and Xiao Han, looking at the Earth Flame and Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame on Yang Xiaotian’s body, had their expressions sink even further.
Bai Li and several others had their beautiful eyes shining with surprise.
Zeng Qianqian also wore a look of astonishment on her face.
Then, the Buddha Son Tang Huan also summoned the Space Flame and the Great Sea Flame.
Seeing Tang Huan’s Space Flame and Great Sea Flame, everyone else also turned their heads to look.
The other disciples possessing Abnormal Fires hastened to summon their fires as well.
The collective power of the flames from the various Abnormal Fires came together, like a volcano exploding, with waves of fire rolling and swallowing Heaven and Earth.
The disciples summoned their weapons one after another, and nearly all of them used swords; a minority used sabers, spears, hammers.
Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, then also summoned the Burying Heaven Sword and the Demon-Slaying Sword.
“Burying Heaven Sword! Demon-Slaying Sword!”
Seeing the Burying Heaven Sword and Demon-Slaying Sword in Yang Xiaotian’s hands, everyone was dumbfounded.
“Oh my god,” many disciples exclaimed inwardly, their hearts filled with disbelief.
It was one thing for Yang Xiaotian to have subdued the Earth Flame and Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, but now he had also obtained the first-ranked Burying Heaven Sword and the second-ranked Demon-Slaying Sword of the Heavenly Swords!
Not to mention he possessed twelve Sword Hearts and two Divine Elixirs!
How were other geniuses supposed to compete with that?
Wan Ning, Yao Qingxue, Bai Li, and all the other women were just as shocked.
Originally, the Demon-Slaying Sword was in the hands of Chi Yuan, the Great Elder of the Sky-Stepping Sect, but after Yang Xiaotian eradicated the Sky-Stepping Sect, the Demon-Slaying Sword fell into his hands.
In fact, not only the Demon-Slaying Sword but also the Dark Sword, which had been in Lan Yi’s possession before Yang Xiaotian annihilated the Subduing Dragon Sword Sect, was now in Yang Xiaotian’s hands.
Chen Jing, looking at the Dual Swords in Yang Xiaotian’s hands, was also filled with admiration. He smiled at Yang Xiaotian and said, “Xiaotian, you wouldn’t have also subdued our academy’s Divine Shadow Sword, would you?”
He knew that Yang Xiaotian had entered the Sword Pavilion yesterday.
Everyone’s gaze was intently fixed on Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said, “I went into the Sword Pavilion yesterday, but I didn’t find the Divine Shadow Sword.”
Xie Buhui, Xiao Han, and all the other talented disciples breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
If he hadn’t found it, then that was good.
But how could they know that while Yang Xiaotian had not found the third-ranked Divine Shadow Sword, he had already subdued five Divine Swords: the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword, the Sword of Azure God, the Ancient Thunder God Sword, the Thousand Buddha Divine Sword, and the Eternal Night Divine Sword, with the Heaven-Penetrating Divine Sword being the second-ranked among them!
At this moment, the black tide formed by the billions of Yin Ghosts that had been far away in the sky was rapidly approaching the Azure God Academy’s airship, engulfing everything in its path, and the mournful screams of the billions of Yin Souls were terrifying to all.
Watching the relentless approach of the billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, Chen Jing shouted, “Prepare for battle, everyone! Remember, no one is to leave the airship during the fight.”
After all, there were far too many Yin Souls.
Once outside of the airship, without the protections of its wards, one would undoubtedly die.
Plus, it’s easier to escape within the airship if necessary.
“This battle’s performance will be recorded in the academy’s scoreboard and will be used as one of the references for future promotion to the Azure God Mansion. Everyone, give it your all!” Chen Jing called out loudly once more.
Hearing this battle’s performance could be used as a reference for promotion to the Azure God Mansion, all the disciples were greatly encouraged.
Boom!
A huge saber suddenly descended from the sky, whipping up massive waves of Saber Qi, like a tornado swirling into the midst of the billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls and instantly, countless of them were slaughtered.
Everyone was shocked and looked over to see a troop of soldiers tearing through the sky, approaching rapidly.
“It’s the Azure God Mansion’s army!”
Indeed, it was the army of the Azure God Mansion.
With the emergence of the billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, the Azure God Mansion had certainly sent their army to suppress them.
The Azure God Academy was here to assist the Azure God Mansion’s army.
The main force was still the army of the Azure God Mansion.
Leading the Azure God Mansion’s army was a middle-aged man of great stature, standing three meters tall.
There was a scar on his forehead.
Seeing the middle-aged man, the upper echelons of the Azure God Academy were delighted: “Lord Saber God Zhao Feng!”
Saber God Zhao Feng was indeed one of the Four Gods of the Azure God Mansion, on par with the Sword God Xi Long.
Seeing that it was Saber God Zhao Feng himself leading the Azure God Mansion’s army, the high echelons of the Azure God Academy felt greatly relieved.
“Kill!” The cold voice of Saber God Zhao Feng sounded, turning into rolling Sword Qi, plowing into the midst of countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.
At the same time, the increasing strength of the Saber Qi swirling around the great saber he wielded was like a super tornado, continuously spiraling amidst the tide of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.
With every spiral, it inevitably slaughtered a large swath of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.
The Azure God Mansion’s army also struck out at once, and the Sword Qi surged like mountains, slamming into the tide of Yin Ghosts, smashing countless of them to smithereens.
“Kill!” Chen Jing saw this and also roared, not bothering to greet Saber God, driving the flying ship towards the onslaught of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.
Before even approaching the wave of Yin Ghosts, Yang Xiaotian swung the Burying Heaven Sword and the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, and suddenly, tens of thousands of Sword Qi burst forth.
“Tomb of Burying Heaven!”
“Light of Demon-Slaying!”
The Burying Heaven Sword Qi and Demon-Slaying Sword Qi carved two massive rifts through the tide of Yin Ghosts wherever they passed.
This one strike had slain hundreds of Yin Ghosts.
With Yang Xiaotian’s realm as a Martial Venerable, to be able to kill hundreds of Yin Ghosts in one strike was a sign of terrifying combat strength.
The other disciples of the academy also made their moves in succession.
Immediately, the cries of battle shook the heavens.
Countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls wailed ceaselessly.
However, there were simply too many Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, and Chen Jing did not dare to drive the flying ship too close.
They killed only at the edges.
As soon as the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls drew close, he drove the flying ship to retreat.
Meanwhile, the Azure God Mansion’s army formed a battle formation, fighting their way in and out three times, slaughtering Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls and sending them flying.
The formidable combat power of the Azure God Mansion’s army made the disciples of the Azure God Academy’s blood boil with excitement.
However, there were simply too many billions of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls that no matter how many were killed, there didn’t seem to be an end, and they couldn’t be exterminated.
Countless Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls continuously surged out from the Death Sword Tomb, and the more they were killed, the more they seemed to multiply.
The sky gradually darkened.
Seeing the endless hordes of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, Yang Xiaotian frowned; at this rate, even if they continued to kill for a month, they might not finish off all these Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.
Unless they could resolve the Nether Sect masters controlling the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.
At this time, surrounding empires also sent large armies to help encircle and slaughter the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, but there was still no sign of their numbers decreasing.
“Headmaster, if this continues, we will exhaust all our True Yuan, and sooner or later, we will die at the hands of these Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls!” An ancestor spoke irritably, “We might as well charge directly into the Death Sword Tomb and kill the Nether Sect masters controlling the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls!”
Chen Jing shook his head and said, “Into the Death Sword Tomb, no one can come out alive, no matter who enters!”
Night fell, growing ever darker.
Blood stained the earth red.
As darkness enveloped the land, Yang Xiaotian noticed that the strength of the Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls had grown considerably; where previously a dual strike could kill hundreds of Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls, now it could only deal with a hundred.
In the midst of everyone fighting bloodily, suddenly a heaven-shaking roar resounded, the waves of the roar itself killing who knows how many Yin Ghosts and Yin Souls.
What was originally a dense and endless army of Yin Ghosts suddenly seemed significantly reduced.
Everyone looked on in shock as a colossal bear paw tore through the void, slamming down with force.
Boom!
The earth trembled.
The Yin Ghost army was directly shattered, millions dead.
The terrifying shockwave swept across, and where it passed, all Yin Ghosts turned to ashes.
In front of everyone appeared a colossal Azure Bear that seemed to prop up the heavens and stand on the earth.
“Lord Azure Bear!”
“Lord Azure Bear has come!”
The people, locked in prolonged battle, finally saw the appearance of Lord Azure Bear.
