Dominating Sword Immortal - Chapter 662

Chapter 662: 662

When the second Masters Ranking got out, it created a huge commotion . Nobody expected Ye Chen to take the first place . After all, the previous first and second ranked, Axe Master Lin Ruhai and Earth Sword Master Xu Yuan, were not to be looked down upon . And to think a young man who wasn’t even thirty years old could suppress them was simply too exaggerated .

If being ranked one on the Masters Ranking seemed exaggerated, then the title of Sword Master was simply absurd . If it were just the title itself, people could have accepted it somehow . But, the problem was that an organization as big as the Knowledge Pavilion actually unanimously agreed on this point . If this was not absurd, then what else could be?

As a result, many people were beginning to doubt the accuracy of the Knowledge Pavilion . As for whether their suspicions would be proven true or not, it would be known soon . The Sword Artists, who had been heroes of their own eras, would not be indifferent toward the title of Sword Master . Ye Chen would be soon subjected to some severe challenges .

…

By the time Ye Chen arrived at the Murong Clan, Murong Qingcheng had left seclusion a few days ago, completely recovering from her injury . Although her injury made her go into closed-door cultivation for half a year, it wasn’t without any benefit . Since the injury was due to bearing demonic essence, it strengthened her demonic body to another level upon recovering in turn, attaining the third step of the demonic body . By solely relying on body, her defenses had become much stronger than Ye Chen’s third step spirit body .

Apart from this, she had also refined the demonic essence, allowing her cultivation base to soar . She had already broken through into the late Sea of Soul realm, beating Ye Chen .

However, after this breakthrough, the demonic essence remaining in her body was not much . It was only enough to let her break through into half-step Life and Death King . Following that, she would have to depend on herself . The demonic essence was scarce in True Spirit Continent, and thus, her difficulty of reaching the Life and Death realm would be several times higher than others’ .

With her demonic body reaching the third step and cultivation base breaking through into the late Sea of Soul realm, her strength had doubled . Demonic Finger, which used to put a tremendous strain on her body, could now be used a dozen times non-stop without any trouble . Moreover, her breakthrough into late Sea of Soul realm had allowed her to experience the state of one with the heavens for a brief moment, cultivating several profound martial skills to eighty percent completion, and Dark Sky Curtain to hundred percent completion .

She had already begun to think about creating her own profound martial skill .

…

A black ocean stretched indefinitely, its surface surging with waves and tides . The islands were scattered on its surface like stars in the sky . At each interval of a few hundred li or a thousand li was an island . If one looked down from above, the islands would appear to be concentrated on the black ocean several times more compared to its surrounding waters . On some of the islands, one could even see people mining vigorously .

On the southern islands, the miners wore clothes with a huge, veined dragon embroidered . Meanwhile on the northern islands, the clothes of the miners had all sorts of insignias, including black octopus, whirlwinds, whirlpools, and a huge eagle . Their cultivation bases were not high at all, all being more or less at the Condensing Reality realm .

Shua Shua Shua!

In the south, numerous figures flew in one after another .

From afar, one could clearly see that they all wore black-robes with a huge dragon insignia on it . The people who lived here were very clear who these people were: they were members of the Dragon God Celestial Palace’s Azure Dragon Hall, which was the most powerful of the palace’s five great halls .

“Halt!”

The leader was a tall and sturdy person with tiger-like eyes and dense eyebrows, carrying a huge machete on his back . He was the deputy head of Azure Dragon Palace, Hu Wenhai . His cultivation base was at the peak of late Sea of Soul realm . The reason he’d arrived here with several hundred people under his command was because of the information about hostile forces . The members of Whirlwind Sect were escorting a batch of resources and would pass through this region . Their aim was to kill the enemies and claim the resources .

“Spread out and prepare for the ambush! Attack on my command…Don’t let a single one escape!” Huwen Hai said loudly .

“Understood!”

The group had more than thirty Sea of Soul realm experts; among them, fifteen were at the early Sea of Soul realm, ten at mid Sea of Soul realm, and seven at the late Sea of Soul realm . The remaining people in the group were all Astral Reaching experts . Such a force was enough to wipe all the sixth grade sects of South Rudra Region .

“Deputy Hall Master Hu, will there be any danger?” Beside Hu Wenhai, a cold and gloomy looking middle-aged man walked out . This man was actually that deputy head of Yellow Dragon Hall—Yao Yifeng .

After being caught by Zhang Zhenguang, he was sent to Dragon God Celestial Palace . However, due to Dragon King being in seclusion at that time, the higher-ups decided to let him redeem himself through earning merits, and dispatched him to the Blood Battle Ocean . Of course, aware of the possibility of him harboring malice toward the Palace, apart from removing his Yellow Dragon Sealing Art, they also exerted a restriction technique on him . Under this restriction, his strength would remain unaffected; but if he dared to rebel, the restriction would immediately activate and kill him .

Upon joining the Azure Dragon Palace, Yao Yifeng didn’t cause any trouble, and instead fought fiercely, slaying many enemies, It relieved the higher-ups of the palace quite a bit, Originally sent as a part of the honor guards, he had already been promoted to their leader . This made the higher-ups of the palace completely relieved, and he could even be promoted to vice head of a palace if a vacancy arose .

Hu Wenhai waved his hand, “This movement is an absolute secret, and we have information ahead of time . They only have about five people . Rest assured, it will be absolutely safe . ”

This kind of secret mission was only known to the Hall Master and a few Deputy Hall Masters . Even Yao Yifeng didn’t have the qualifications to know .

“That’s good! Our Dragon God Celestial Palace has suffered miserably in the recent times . ” A cold light flickered in Yao Yifeng’s eyes before he exclaimed .

“They will pay a disastrous price . ” Hu Wenhai’s face turned vicious .

The preparations of the ambush were swiftly executed . In a few moments, not one member of the Azure Dragon Hall could be seen .

Wind blew, and the ocean water surged as time went by slowly . After a while, the members of Azure Dragon Hall hidden in the sea or on the island started to get anxious .

“Why haven’t they arrived yet? Could it be that they know?”

“Don’t jinx it!”

“Come on, I’m just joking!”

A few moments passed again .

Suddenly . A screech sounded .

“Not good, we’ve been reverse-ambushed!”

In the sky and in the ocean, numerous figures were rushing in from every direction . Roughly looking, the combined sum of people from every direction was three times their number . If they were to be completely surrounded, not a single one among them would escape .

“Impossible! How did they know?”

Lying in ambush, Hu Wenhai couldn’t lightly spread out his soul power . Otherwise, it would be the same as telling the targets about their position . Therefore, he only spotted them when they were just a few dozen li away . Almost subconsciously, he spread out his soul power .

Every single direction in his vision was filled with enemies from Whirlwind Gate, Black King Gate, Sky Eagle Cult, and also Water Wave Sect . Their speed was extremely fast . In a blink, they had already arrived within twenty li .

“Operation Failed! Break out with all your strength . ” Hu Wenhai promptly decided and bellowed .

The members of Azure Dragon Hall immediately converged together and charged south like a combined blade .

“You think you can run? Die!”

An ominous glint flashed in the eyes of assailant’s leader . He waved his hand, and countless attacks poured down on the fleeing Azure Dragon Hall members like rain .

The speed of the attacks was much faster than that of flight . In the next moment, the outermost members of Azure Dragon Hall were torn apart; the number of casualties was more than fifty . And this was merely the first wave of attack . If a few more such waves were to occur, the result would be simply disastrous .

“Kill your way out!” Hu Wenhai’s eyes turned crimson as he charged straight into members of Water Wave Sect .

“Kill!”

Bang Bang Bang!

The eyes of Azure Dragon Hall members turned crimson . The outermost members each had their shield raised high, blocking the attacks from back, left, and right . Then, all members simultaneously aroused their Zhen Yuan and issued their attacks toward Water Wave Sect ahead .

“Formation, Water Curtain!”

The majority of Water Wave Sect members cultivated water-attributed battle skills . Thus, in the ocean, they seemed invincible . Seeing the head forming a seal with both hands, the rest of the members behind also followed his movements unanimously . In the next moment, a huge water curtain was formed on the ocean before them; it was several kilometers long and high, and a hundred meters thick .

While the water screen was tattered from the incoming attacks, it was being mended at the same time, standing without fail at all times .

“Yao Yifeng, Zhuo Heng, Xiang Yihui…You six, come with me and break through the water curtain . We’ll kill amidst their ranks . ” Hu Wenhai knew that only if they slaughtered the enemies from within would they have any chance of making out . Otherwise, they would be crushed to the last one sooner or later .

“Yes!” A few several voices severely replied .

“Wave Strike!”

“Inferno Spear!”

Seven attacks landed onto the water screen, and it eventually exploded with a bang . Millions of water droplets sprinkled down in every direction .

“Charge out!”

Hu Wenhai took the lead and charged out . The huge machete in his hands slashed with huge beams of bright white light crisscrossing around him .

“Hehe…Hu Wenhai, you’re dead this time for sure!”

The Water Wave sect members pooled together, disdaining the attempt of Azure Dragon Hall members . If they were unable to kill the latter even in these circumstances, they’d better kill themselves .

Rumble!

A huge water sphere condensed and shot toward Hu Wenhai and the others behind him . Right at this moment, Yao Yifeng, intentionally or unintentionally, dashed to the right, avoiding the water sphere .

Peng!

The combined assault of Water Wave Sect’s hundreds of members was too fierce, and the first to fall was Hu Wenhai . Furthermore, a third of Azure Dragon Hall members behind him also fell . As for the remaining, they were also whittling down slowly by the combined assault from the other three sides .

“Follow me out . ”

Yao Yifeng led the other dozens of remaining members and charged to the right of Water Wave Sect’s encirclement . Losing half of the members, he actually succeeded in leading the survivors out .
