CHAPTER 280: CHAPTER 279: POWERFUL REINFORCEMENTS_1

The Terrifying Palm Power descended, like an overwhelming calamity.

Ling Chen wanted to dodge again, but there was nowhere to hide. He could only watch helplessly as the enormous Palm Seal crashed down.

At that moment, Ling Chen saw a thirty-meter-long cyan sword qi suddenly pierce through the air. To his astonishment, it cleanly split the giant Palm Seal in two!

"What?"

The Elder of Myriad Beasts was taken aback, clearly not expecting anyone to break his Palm Seal so easily.

Shortly after, a woman dressed in cyan robes appeared beside Ling Chen and grabbed him.

"Let’s go!"

"Miss Liu Feiyue?" Ling Chen quickly recognized the woman in the cyan robe, his mouth agape in surprise.

"Thank you again for saving me, Miss." Ling Chen was unsure why she kept rescuing him. Could it be that she’s taken a liking to me? Perhaps that’s really it.

"Enough prattling!" Liu Feiyue shot Ling Chen a cold glance, then forcefully dragged him away, and they darted into the forest.

"Thinking you can escape?" The Elder of Myriad Beasts narrowed his eyes, a ferocious glint flashing within, and he swiftly gave chase.

With his speed, he could catch up to Ling Chen and the woman in less than three breaths.

Just as he covered a short distance, a massive cyan sword qi once again cleaved down from the sky, landing right in front of him and splitting the ground.

The Elder of Myriad Beasts looked up to see a Swordsman in Cyan Robes hovering before him.

"Who are you to meddle in my affairs?" The Elder of Myriad Beasts’ expression soured. He hadn’t gone to the Tienzong Ruins, so he didn’t recognize this Cyan-robed Guest.

However, judging by the man’s aura, this Swordsman in Cyan Robes was undoubtedly a Top Sky Apex Strong.

"Elder of Myriad Beasts, stop chasing that boy and return to your Myriad Beasts Sect," the Cyan-robed Guest said indifferently.

"Impossible!" The Elder of Myriad Beasts’ countenance darkened abruptly. "That boy killed my disciple! He must die today! I’ll kill anyone who dares stop me!"

Hearing this, the Cyan-robed Guest shook his head. "You’re no match for me."

"Dare to belittle me?" How could the Elder of Myriad Beasts believe a single word from this Cyan-robed Guest? Who was he? The renowned Elder of Myriad Beasts, a titan of the Demon Way in the Martial World! Although this Cyan-robed Guest was also a Top Sky Apex Strong, he was relatively unknown in the Jianghu, likely a newly promoted one. He, the Elder of Myriad Beasts, wasn’t so weak that he couldn’t even handle a newly promoted Top Sky Apex Strong.

SWOOSH!

The Elder of Myriad Beasts flipped his palm. The True Qi throughout his body surged and rapidly converged. His posture resembled a hunting cheetah. After his True Qi finished brewing, he suddenly threw a punch.

Immense black True Qi gathered around him, forming the silhouette of a cheetah before it lunged at the Cyan-robed Guest.

The Swordsman in Cyan Robes carried no sword, yet he exuded an overwhelming Sword Intent.

Though he held no sword, he made a drawing motion. A flicker of cyan light shone from his left hand, and as he performed the gesture, he actually drew out a cyan light sword. This sword was entirely condensed from True Qi, not a physical blade.

Illusory Sword Becomes Real Sword. Only a swordsman of the Sky Apex Realm could achieve such sublime mastery.

The Cyan-robed Guest’s body suddenly inverted as he slashed out with the cyan light sword behind him. In the blink of an eye, he sliced the black cheetah in two.

Next, the Cyan-robed Guest held the cyan light sword steady in mid-air before him. The next moment, he touched the hilt of the cyan light sword with the index fingers of both hands and abruptly pulled. The single cyan light sword instantly multiplied into five, each dazzlingly colorful.

"Go!"

The Cyan-robed Guest flicked his finger, and the five cyan light swords shot out in unison towards the Elder of Myriad Beasts.

"Undefeated Beast King Armor!"

Seeing the five light swords flying towards him, the Elder of Myriad Beasts’s complexion changed drastically. He roared, and it was as if his Bloodline had erupted within him. His veins turned black, and it seemed as if black blood rapidly flowed through his body.

As the black blood circulated, four True Qi Shields appeared around the Elder of Myriad Beasts. Embossed on each True Qi Shield were the heads of four Exotic Beasts: a dragon, tiger, lion, and leopard. Their roars shook the heavens.

THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!

The four light swords struck the four beast-head True Qi Shields respectively. However, they failed to break through the defenses instantly, merely clanging against the shields’ exteriors.

At this moment, the fifth light sword, a purple one, descended from the sky, aiming for the top of the Elder of Myriad Beasts’ head like a falling meteor.

As the light sword closed in, the Elder of Myriad Beasts took a sharp breath and then exhaled a blast of True Qi, accompanied by a deafening Lion’s Roar.

Under the impact of this Lion’s Roar, the purple light sword was actually halted. Assailed by layer upon layer of shockwaves, it completely shattered!

Seeing the purple light sword shatter, the Cyan-robed Guest showed no surprise. His figure moved again, soaring high into the sky. He abruptly raised both hands, his True Qi circulating at extreme speed.

Around him, dazzling strands of sword qi began to condense automatically. Each strand was four to five meters long, brilliantly bright, and possessed a menacing edge. There were no fewer than thirty such strands of sword qi.

Who on earth is this person? Seeing the spectacle in the sky, the Elder of Myriad Beasts was horrified. Even giants of the Righteous Path like Sky Void Palace Master Xu Feihong or Myriad Dao Sect Master Lu Youzhen couldn’t exert this much pressure on him. Yet, this Cyan-robed Guest, with just two simple moves, had pushed him onto the defensive, completely gaining the upper hand.

Before he could comprehend the situation, the Cyan-robed Guest’s dense barrage of sword qi rained down.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Elder of Myriad Beasts’ four True Qi Shields endured a bombardment akin to a hail of bullets. They only withstood half the assault before completely shattering. The Elder of Myriad Beasts himself was left in a sorry state; as he hastily retreated and dodged, several bloody holes appeared on his body.

However, the Cyan-robed Guest seemed to have no intention of giving him a chance to catch his breath. The Elder of Myriad Beasts had barely stabilized himself when he saw the Cyan-robed Guest streaking towards him through the air. In the Cyan-robed Guest’s right hand, a cyan light sword swelled in the wind, reaching a staggering fourteen to fifteen meters in length.

His eyes wide with terror, the Elder of Myriad Beasts retreated rapidly while suddenly whistling towards the sky.

WHOOSH!

A sharp bird cry echoed as a huge black bird flew out from the forest. It was undoubtedly the Ghostly Spirit Bird.

The Ghostly Spirit Bird spread its wings, stirring up powerful air currents, and accelerated towards the Cyan-robed Guest’s back, spitting a stream of black energy from its beak.

The black energy stream, like an arrow of qi, shot towards the Cyan-robed Guest’s back.

The Cyan-robed Guest abruptly halted. He suddenly turned and swung his cyan light sword.

PFFT!

The black energy stream was forcefully dispersed. The remaining sword qi, unstoppable, pierced through the Void like a dazzling rainbow, flashing past and embedding itself in the Ghostly Spirit Bird’s body.

With a mournful cry, the Ghostly Spirit Bird plummeted from the sky. After a few futile flaps, it lay motionless.

A Third Rank Peak Level Exotic Beast, killed so easily.

When the Cyan-robed Guest turned back to look for the Elder of Myriad Beasts, the latter had already vanished without a trace.

If anyone had witnessed this battle, their jaws would have dropped. For the Elder of Myriad Beasts, the Ghostly Spirit Bird was his steed, his very lifeline. Yet, facing the Cyan-robed Guest, the Elder of Myriad Beasts had abandoned even his lifeline. It was truly a life-and-death situation; otherwise, he would never have forsaken the Ghostly Spirit Bird.

"Having learned his lesson this time, the old fellow probably won’t dare to come back," the Cyan-robed Guest muttered to himself. Then, his figure flickered and seemed to vanish from where he stood.
