Chapter 379: Chapter 380 Sword Rain

After using some secret technique, the Void Creature had recovered most of its strength and injuries, but the large wound on its leg showed no sign of healing. Whenever the wound tried to close, a power flickering with red light would tear open the newly healed flesh, especially when the attacks of several people focused on the wound, the Void Creature let out a mournful howl and almost fell to the ground. Even as a Void Creature, faced with a potentially debilitating, terrifying wound, its reaction was no different from that of an ordinary person.

“Hold on, just endure the duration of its secret technique, and victory will be in our hands.” The low-profile man shouted, their hope for victory lying within this brief period; as long as they could hold out, they would surely wait for victory to arrive.

The balance of victory once again tilted in favor of the few people. The panting brute, clutching the massive axe, slowly approached the side of the Void Creature. With a ferocious swing, an eerie black light flashed across the blade before it brutally struck the other leg of the Void Creature. Wrapped in intense pain, the Void Creature, caught off guard, received the brutal axe wound.

The brute landed a successful hit and instantly retreated. The dark light circling the axe left a mark on the leg of the Void Creature, forming a ghostly face imprint with a sinister smile.

Mu Can, upon seeing the ghostly face, had his suspicions. This brute, shouldering a giant shield and wielding a huge battle axe, must be a hidden member of the Demon Clan, since the attack just now gave Mu Can a sense of familiarity—it was the Demon Heart Seal that had once troubled him significantly.

The greatest weakness of a Void Creature, although possessing Spiritual Wisdom, is its inability to engage in complex thinking. Its actions are entirely driven by instinct, by the primal urge to feed—the longing for a Blood Meal.

However, despite the lack of Spiritual Wisdom, a Void Creature injured is akin to a wounded beast, radiating an aura of ferocity from head to toe.

Although Mu Can remained alert in his heart, he did not show it outwardly. What of the Demon Clan? As long as he could successfully break through to the Void Level, all problems would be easily solved. But with the Demon Clan’s presence, what of the Immortal Clan? Out of these people, who belonged to the Immortal Clan?

Donghuang? Impossible. Mu Can knew his background; he was definitely a genuine person from the Mortal World. That left Dongfeng Shuo and the low-profile man. Mu Can swept them with a suspicious gaze. Dongfeng Shuo smirked at him, while the low-profile man gave Mu Can a puzzled glance, as if wondering about the latter’s recent expression.

“Forget it. If there is someone from the Immortal Clan, they’re bound to slip up; I’ll just be more cautious then.” Mu Can thought inwardly. In fact, he didn’t have much prejudice against the Immortal Clan—Purple Cloud was an Immortal Venerable who could now be considered the person Mu Can trusted the most. Another member of the Immortal Clan was Sword Venerate, whom Mu Can had a good impression of, and who had now joined the ranks of the Immortal Ancient Academy, becoming one of the powerful assets in Xuanyuan Mingkong’s camp.

Mu Can’s attention returned to the battlefield. A Void Creature, severely wounded and with its ability to traverse the Void sealed, was putting immense pressure on them.

The Void Creature moved swiftly in front of the brute and threw a fierce punch. Unlike the previous punches where its trajectory could be sensed, this one came with a roaring sound of tearing through the air; even the nearby Void slightly trembled as if the space would crack open in the next second.

Although the brute had anticipated an attack from the Void Creature, he could only watch the incoming punch helplessly, with no chance to dodge. Instinctively, he raised his shield, and it was this subconscious action that saved him from a severe injury.

Clang!

A resonant, trembling sound echoed in the distance. Without a doubt, the brute’s shield was a treasure of no low quality. Its massive body could effectively buffer the huge impact from the surface, and the slight trembling on the edges of the shield dissipated that force into the air.

Even so, the brute tasted sweetness in his throat, indicating an injury.

“Sword Rain.” Seeing the brute knocked to the ground, Mu Can was anxious. The brute’s Defense Ability was the strongest among them—excluding Mu Can’s Reincarnation Pearl-induced transformations, no one could contend with him here. Now, there was no time to distinguish between Demon Clan or Mortal Clan; if they could not defeat the Void Creature, all their efforts would be in vain.

Spiritual Power surged from Mu Can’s body, swiftly forming longswords in front of him. The longswords whistled as they rose into the air, slicing through the void, and in mid-air, they turned into a barrage of Sword Rain. Each longsword flashed with a sharp, cold glint, as real as any sword, imbued with sky-soaring Sword Intent. One must not forget, Mu Can had previously rested and practiced Sword Dao in the third layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, and using it now was quite skillful. This display also showed the extent of Mu Can’s control over Ice Attribute Spiritual Power—longswords formed from Ice Attribute Spiritual Power could be so life-like.

“Nice swordsmanship.” Dongfeng Shuo glanced at the soaring longswords and praised, though his words had a double meaning.

Mu Can spared Dongfeng Shuo a glance but said nothing, focusing on controlling the Spiritual Power longswords in the air.

These longswords, although formed from Spiritual Power, could be instilled with Spiritual Wisdom to have their own thinking process, but were definitely not as powerful as when directly controlled by Mu Can.

The longswords whistled past, climbing to the highest point in the sky before plunging down fiercely. Accompanied by the roaring sound of air being split, they aimed directly at the Void Creature.

The Void Creature was aware and turned to face the longswords, emitting a strong roar that shook the entire Altar. Then, facing the oncoming Sword Rain, it exposed its belly—or rather, it used the eye on its belly that was tightly shut to confront the Sword Rain.

When the vertical eye on the Void Creature’s stomach opened, the entire space fell into darkness. When vision was restored, the Sword Rain in the air had already vanished, while the Void Creature, as if satiated, let out a hearty belch.
