Chapter 533: Chapter 484: Slay

’If it’s really as I think, then this old acquaintance is worth saving. Even if it means taking a considerable risk, it’s undoubtedly worth it.’

Chu Mu watched the figures below, his gaze sharp. ’A few Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Bazhou Alliance... they’re nothing.’

The only one who gave him the slightest pause was this Golden Core True Master from the Overlord Saber Alliance.

According to the intelligence on the Overlord Saber Alliance provided by Qing Ling, the information regarding this Luo Hao was also extremely clear.

He was an Immortal Dao Cultivator with Early Stage Golden Core Cultivation. The method he cultivated, known as the Holy Scripture Technique, was a rather famous Dharma and Body Cultivation technique in the Great Chu Cultivation Immortal World.

Though its name sounded holy, it was rumored to be a Cultivation Technique created by a Great Divine Power User of old by imitating a True Demon Technique. Its practitioners possessed profound Magical Power and an exceptionally powerful physique.

As for his other abilities, the intelligence report didn’t indicate whether he had refined a Lifebound Treasure. The combat method he had revealed was a Gold Attribute Upper Grade Treasure called the Geng Metal Mother-Child Saber.

His other techniques remained unknown.

The relevant intelligence flashed through his mind. Chu Mu considered his options. The abilities of this Golden Core cultivator before him were a secondary concern.

Even if the man was a True Cultivator of Sword Intent, Chu Mu was confident he could crush him. But killing was easy; cleaning up the aftermath was not.

Right now, during the Overlord Saber Alliance’s millennial celebration, a Tier Four True Cultivator of Sword Intent had appeared. The Alliance’s momentum was at its peak, stirring up the Vast Sea region.

If he were to slaughter this Golden Core True Master from the Overlord Saber Alliance...

It wouldn’t just be a slap in the face... it would be like tearing off the Overlord Saber Alliance’s face and stomping on it a few times.

The Overlord Saber Alliance’s fury would be one thing, but he, a mere Golden Core, could not withstand the wrath of that Tier Four True Cultivator of Sword Intent.

While Chu Mu was hesitating, Luo Hao, seeing that the Zhao Shuang sisters hadn’t responded, had clearly lost his patience. High above the sea, he reached out, and a giant claw materialized from the void. Unsurprisingly, the exhausted Zhao Shuang and her sister, their strength completely spent, were captured by the claw. In an instant, they were brought before Luo Hao.

Immediately after, Luo Hao extended his right hand toward Zhao Shuang’s head. Wisps of Magical Power flickered around it, clear signs of a Soul Searching Technique being activated.

Feeling this irresistible, terrifying power, Zhao Shuang’s face turned ashen. She slowly closed her eyes in despair.

But just then, a flash of light flickered in the corner of her eye. Confused, Zhao Shuang looked toward the source of the light.

Then, an almost unbelievable scene unfolded before her.

Several beams of light abruptly appeared in the sky. As the lights crisscrossed, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Bazhou Alliance who had driven her to despair barely had time to react.

Several living people, several Foundation Establishment Cultivators, were suddenly... torn to pieces. Shredded flesh and shattered bone rained down from the sky, falling upon the sea and staining vast patches of it red.

"Who is it!"

Luo Hao’s expression changed drastically. He instinctively pulled back the hand he had extended for the Soul Search. With a wave of his hand, a palm-sized Copper Bell appeared, hovering before him. A crisp chime rang out, and as the sound waves spread, a faint, transparent membrane of light enveloped and protected him completely.

At the same time, Luo Hao swiped a finger across his Storage Ring. Two beams of golden light shot out, and two strangely shaped curved sabers appeared, hovering beside the Copper Bell.

He scanned his surroundings vigilantly but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"Stop hiding and show yourself if you have the guts!"

Luo Hao scanned his surroundings again, his voice cold. His Divine Sense swept out, his guard raised to the absolute maximum.

And just then, right above Luo Hao’s head, a shadowy figure emerged, and a brilliant blade of light descended from the heavens!

The blade’s light was pure and chillingly cold. Its terrifying, razor-sharp edge was so potent that even the faint ripples of its power made Zhao Shuang, who was within the attack’s range, feel as if her very soul was about to be obliterated at any moment!

Luo Hao, locked on by this terrifyingly sharp power, was now deathly pale, and his voice trembled.

As a Cultivator of the Overlord Saber Alliance whose grandmaster was a Tier Four True Cultivator of Sword Intent, how could he not recognize such a sharp and fierce power!

’A Tier Three Sword Intent True Cultivator has targeted me!’

The mere thought sent an uncontrollable shiver through Luo Hao’s heart.

’True Cultivators of Sword Intent have Unrivaled Attack power. I’m a dead man!’

He tried to send a message for help with his thoughts, but as soon as he sent it, it was mysteriously extinguished, unable to travel even a few inches from his body.

"Go!"

Luo Hao gritted his teeth. The Bell vibrated, sending out faint sound waves. He tossed it upward, sending the Bell straight toward the blade. At the same time, he leaped away, completely ignoring the Magical Treasure he had just thrown, as well as the Zhao Shuang sisters. His only thought was to escape with his life.

CLANG!

With a crisp impact, the Bell Magical Treasure, now without its master’s control, was instantly knocked into the sea by the blade of light and vanished.

At that moment, the blade’s light dissipated. The Blade Battle Puppet that had suddenly appeared stared at the fleeing Luo Hao with cold, emotionless eyes. Its blade shimmered, and it once again vanished into the void.

The next instant, another brilliant blade of light appeared, right on the heels of the fleeing Luo Hao.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes!

The Blade Battle Puppet was like an assassin hidden in space. It struck like a phantom, and every blow was fatal.

By the fourth slash, Luo Hao was completely desperate, screaming and begging for mercy:

"Fellow Daoist, spare me! Spare my life!"

"You can’t kill me!"

"I have a secret! That kid has a huge secret, I can share it with you, Fellow Daoist!"

"My grandmaster is—"

His words were cut short.

Luo Hao’s face was pale, his pupils still filled with despair, but the light in his eyes had completely faded, leaving them dim and lifeless.

His flying body fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut.

Behind him, the Blade Battle Puppet stood holding its saber. It gave the lifeless Luo Hao a deep look, and with a flicker of fluctuation, it vanished back into the void.

Then, before the Zhao Shuang sisters could react, another irresistible, terrifying power materialized and enveloped them.

This terrifying power bound them both, pulling them upward. Finally, they too were pulled into the sky and disappeared.

At this moment, a faint spatial fluctuation rippled through the sky, and a figure in green robes appeared.

Chu Mu glanced at Luo Hao, whose Divine Soul had been annihilated. He pondered for a moment, then began to form hand seals. A series of Techniques fell upon this patch of sea, and one by one, Array Flags from his Storage Space descended as well.

In just a dozen breaths, a rather unique Tier Three Formation took shape over this area of the sea.

Only then did the flickering Techniques in Chu Mu’s hands cease. His vast Divine Sense swept across the sea. After confirming there were no loose ends, Chu Mu thought for a moment more, then took a step and vanished into the void once again, leaving no trace behind.

At the same time, the newly laid Grand Array began to operate. Its crisscrossing Array Prohibition network connected with the water vapor of the Vast Sea. As the Array Prohibition Patterns flickered, the Array Flags intertwined and merged with them. The water vapor in this part of the sea began to surge, drawn into the power of the Grand Array.

The entire Grand Array was like a great Baking Furnace of water. More and more water vapor was absorbed and spread throughout the area, washing away every last remaining trace, over and over again.

Eventually, so much water vapor had accumulated under the direct influence of the Array Prohibition that it began to exceed the Grand Array’s load limit.

The great furnace seemed to be on the verge of collapse. The Array Prohibition Patterns creaked and groaned, and the rippling water showed signs of being overwhelmed, yet the process did not stop.

The Grand Array continued to operate according to its predetermined program, madly absorbing the sea’s water vapor until, finally... the Grand Array... shattered with a BOOM!

In that instant, the Array Prohibition was annihilated. The immense water vapor it had contained was swept up by the force of the shattering Array Prohibition Power, erupting like a sudden, monstrous tsunami!

The monstrous tsunami, carrying terrifying fluctuations of Spiritual Qi, burst forth across this patch of sea, destroying every area the water vapor had touched and obliterating every single possible remaining trace...
