Chapter 1151: Chapter 37: Dare I Ask, Divine Sword—Can You Change Masters?_2
The three of them rushed to another location, which was the Iron City Mountain base, where the Iron City Reincarnation Hell Array was set up. Inside the array, countless iron trees continually sprouted, their branches and leaves sharp, the flying swords could not cut them down, nor pierce them, but instead the iron tree branches would pierce the body, causing one to bleed to death.
Those outside the array could not see any trace of the iron trees at all.
Yan Yu charged into the crowd with two others, not entering the array, but killing gods and Buddhas if they stood in their way. The speed of Sword-Human Unity was so fast that in the eyes of the Demon Cult cultivators, she was still far away in the last second, but suddenly appeared right in front, making it impossible to react. No matter how strong your cultivation, how high your level of spell, if you can’t hit, it is useless.
Everyone felt extrely frustrated. We have so many people here, even if everyone slashed with a flying sword, it could hack him to pieces alive.
Yet they just couldn’t hit!
The Demon Cult elders at Iron City Mountain gathered together to discuss strategies.
“Is the Sword Immortal’s Sword-Human Unity that powerful?” an elder couldn’t help but ask, “If that’s the case, why did Shushan fall to such a state?”
“Yes and no.” another elder explained, “Sword-Human Unity is the Sword Immortal’s secret technique, although it’s as fast as lightning, it is not invincible. We can send the Vajra Monk to et it head-on and secretly dispatch Discipline Monks to ambush.”
Iron City Mountain has been facing Shushan for years, with various dharma thods to deal with Sword Immortals. The Vajra Monk either possesses body refining secret techniques or carries defensive treasures, not fearing a frontal sword light assault, instead able to entangle them tightly.
Discipline Monks specialize in dealing with sect traitors, proficient in various control and assassination secret techniques. As long as the Sword Immortal is entangled by the Vajra Monk, they will imdiately strike.
i Yingxue and Li Minghu controlled the sword light, following Yan Yu in charging back and forth.
At the Golden Core Sword Immortal stage, the maximum speed of Sword-Human Unity is extrely exaggerated, not only does the opponent have no ti to react, but even the Sword Immortal himself finds it hard to achieve precise control. Often, before you can clearly see the surroundings, the sword light has already rushed past.
Though most of the ti, there’s no need to worry about overshooting, many enemies are shattered by a single strike of the sword light, but in this situation, poor control could indeed be fatal.
Fortunately, there is no need to control now.
The aning of Yan Yu’s “Follow through the formation” was simple: wherever I charge, you follow. Whether it’s a mountain of knives and sea of fire ahead, just crash into it head-on, I’ll ensure you’re safe.
As for how Yan Yu could maintain observation and judgnt of the entire battlefield while moving at high speed with sword control… they didn’t know.
“Pay attention,” Yan Yu suddenly said, “We need to change direction frequently next.”
The two did not answer, just silently preparing for the change in direction.
Suddenly, the previously open and vertical sword light began to abruptly repeat and zigzag.
Each ti it rushed through, it took away the lives of many Demon Cult cultivators, yet never engaged the Vajra Monk within the crowd. Sotis the sword light would leave gracefully, and bodies would fall from the sky, leaving only a few unhard Vajra Monks looking bewilderedly at each other.
The news was reported back to the elders’ base in the rear, and everyone fell into silent contemplation.
“Unexpectedly, this Shushan Sword Immortal has a way, actually able to pinpoint the location of our Vajra Monks in the sea of crowds.” An elder exclaid.
“Indeed, the opponent should not be underestimated.” Another elder echoed, “A cornered beast still fights, its fangs untad.”
“Could it be that the Vajra Monks themselves are too conspicuous.” Suddenly, a disciple of an elder clasped his hands and asked, “Most monks in the world are of moderate build, while few are strong; many keep their hair, while few shave; many wear miscellaneous clothes, while few wear yellow robes. The Vajra Monks all wear yellow robes, have bald heads, and muscular bodies, naturally making them stand out in the crowd.”
All elders were stunned and speechless.
“How about this?” An elder suddenly suggested, “Since the attire of the Vajra Monk is rather conspicuous, let them wear the ordinary disciple’s clothes, and have the ordinary disciples wear the Vajra Monk’s kasaya, how about that?”
“Brilliant! Such a wonderful plan!” The elders praised one after another, “I guess those Shushan scoundrels won’t expect the trick of substituting branches for flowers! This ti we will make them surrender obediently!”
So the monks issued the orders, instructing them to change clothes before going to battle.
Yan Yu’s sword light surged through the enemy formations, then quickly turned around, looking at the incoming enemies from far away, she couldn’t help but complain in her heart:
Clearly they’re body cultivating cultivators, do you really think changing clothes would fool ? I’ve slaughtered countless body cultivating cultivators in my previous lives, and I’m too familiar with that “co at and cut” aura you emanate.
Monts later, disaster struck once again on the frontlines: ordinary disciples wearing the Vajra Monk’s kasaya were killed by the Shushan Sword Immortal; yet the disguised Vajra Monks were still avoided by the sword light, completely ignored.
Elders were speechless for a mont, then suddenly began to rage:
“Bring my Magic Artifact! I will personally enter the battle!”
“These re Shushan scoundrels, watch as I use the Eight Divisions Suppressing Demon Celestial Dragon to blast you all to the skies!”
“Tonight, move the Reincarnation Hell Array! Advance five hundred miles towards Shushan!”
The Iron City Mountain elders aggressively headed to the frontlines, only to discover that the three sword lights had already departed, retreating back to Shushan.
————————
Yan Yu and others returned to Shushan, earning a warm welco from fellow Sword Immortals.
For several consecutive days, they were suppressed by the Demon Cult cultivators who relied on nurical superiority, so much so that they were almost driven insane. Sword Immortal is ant to be free-spirited and unrestrained, how can one endure such humiliation?
The continuous victories of Yan Yu and the other two in multiple battles, killing countless Demon Cult monsters, truly vented a great deal of anger for the Shushan Sword Immortals!
Of course, even if the Demon Cult cultivators suffered heavy losses, it was still insignificant. By tomorrow, they would definitely make arrangents to counter such attacks, making repeated achievents difficult.
Despite this, the battle rits of Yan Yu this ti greatly boosted morale, thus Sect Leader Chen Yanwei took the opportunity to organize a brief celebration in the Ancestor Hall, propagating this matter throughout the sect to boost confidence.
Elder Tian Yue, representing the Martial Arts Sect, found Yan Yu particularly delightful. After the celebration ended, he called him to the back of the mountain gate, instructing him to speak up if he lacked any flying swords or elixir dicines, and he would help communicate with Elder Lu Gan.
A sect backbone like you should be strongly supported by the sect, sparing no expense!
Yan Yu had long understood this elder’s temperant, so he didn’t say any pleasantries or nonsense, he just patted his chest to assure continued action and achievents, then moved on to the topic of remuneration, saying he didn’t need any flying swords or elixirs, but heard the Sect Leader was the Sun Sword Master, and wondered if he could borrow the Divine Sword to kill so Demon Cult heretics for fun.
Elder Tian Yue sneered and said:
“You expect our Sect Leader to take the initiative? You might as well expect the Divine Sword to draw itself and kill enemies. Having reached the sword master position at the Golden Core Realm, he’s afraid of being embarrassed at not having enough cultivation and never took initiative, the Divine Sword has almost beco his decorative sword.”
“How can this be?” Yan Yu feigned surprise, “That’s the Sun True Dullness Sword! I thought… thought maybe the Sect Leader had other plans. How could the Sun Sword Master be so timid in battle?”
“It’s okay to say this to .” Elder Tian Yue waved his hand, “Don’t say it to the Sect Leader. If you offend the Sect Leader, don’t expect to leave the mountain gate alive.”
Yan Yu feigned contemplation, then asked:
“Is there a way for the Divine Sword to draw itself and kill enemies?”
“How can there be a way?” Elder Tian Yue was dismissive, “The Divine Sword serves its master, if the sword master doesn’t give orders, how can the Divine Sword act on its own?”
“What if the Divine Sword chooses a new master?” Yan Yu asked.
“If it chooses a new master, it depends on the new sword master’s intention…” Elder Tian Yue pondered, suddenly shivering, looking at Yan Yu with deep aning, smiled, “You brat, talking nonsense? Though the Sect Leader is at the Golden Core Realm, he’s not soone you can plot against.”
“How will we know if we don’t try?” Yan Yu spoke frankly, “In this precarious situation, when the Sect Leader still doesn’t act, when the sect is about to perish, he can still rely on the Divine Sword to fiercely break through, but we’ll beco sacrifices to cover his retreat.”
“Since the Divine Sword can’t choose a new master, we must prove to it that there is a sword master better suited than the Sect Leader!”
This statent was not just for Elder Tian Yue, but also for the Sun True Dullness Sword behind the Mysterious Realm.
Sure enough, Elder Tian Yue was silent, speechless for a long ti, seemingly frozen.
