Chapter 148 - 148 The Terror of the 5 Swords and 5 Directions
148 The Terror of the 5 Swords and 5 Directions
Under the disbelieving eyes of all the disciples of Spirit Valley, the thousands of spiritual corpses were beheaded at the same time, and their heads fell to the ground one after another!
“Bang!” The heads of a thousand spiritual corpses fell to the ground at the same time, followed by their bodies. At this time, Spirit Valley disciples who were in a daze finally came back to their senses.
They looked at Zhou Yun with a fanatical expressions. Although they did not know what Zhou Yun had done in that instant, it did not stop them from raising Zhou Yun’s status in their hearts! In fact, his status was even higher than Sect Leader Ling Qingyun!
“How did he do that? He beheaded thousands of spiritual corpses in an instant!”
“Didn’t you notice? Zhou Yun’s every slash landed on the same spot on the spiritual corpse’s body! This sword technique is marvelous!”
“Originally, I thought that Zhou Yun’s ability to destroy hundreds of foundation establishment spiritual corpses with a single flame was already very impressive. But I didn’t expect that my imagination was too low. Zhou Yun is actually able to kill a thousand spiritual corpses in an instant! I’m afraid that even Sect Leader Ling Qingyun can’t do that!”
“I told you Zhou Yun is very powerful! Where were the disciples who were clamoring just now? If you can do what Zhou Yun did… No, even if you can only do half of what Zhou Yun did, killing hundreds of spiritual corpses with a single sword strike, I will still praise you.”
Not only had Zhou Yun killed the sea of spiritual corpses with one strike, but he had also given the disciples of Spirit Valley confidence! They began to believe that Zhou Yun would be able to hold on until Sect Leader Ling Qingyun returned. No, they didn’t even need Sect Leader Ling Qingyun. Just Zhou Yun alone would be able to save them from this crisis!
At this moment, the disciples began to fight back against those who belittled Zhou Yun! It could be considered that he had vented his anger!
“Hmph, even if that’s the case, Zhou Yun might not be able to kill the golden core spiritual corpse! A golden core spiritual corpse could only be killed by a supreme sword intent and a spiritual sword of the same level as the sect-protecting spiritual weapon. No matter how strong Zhou Yun is, he can’t possibly kill a golden core spiritual corpse!”
“That’s right, so what if we kill more foundation establishment spiritual corpses? As long as the golden core spiritual corpses are not dead, Spirit Valley will still have no way out!”
“I guess that when Zhou Yun sees that he can’t defeat the golden core spiritual corpses, he might even abandon us! He’ll become a traitor to Spirit Valley!”
When these disciples were stubborn, it made the disciples who were supporting Zhou Yun even more unhappy. They were trying to belittle Zhou Yun!
Hence, everyone’s attention was once again on Zhou Yun. They wanted to see if Zhou Yun could lead them out of the crisis of Spirit Valley.
Because of Zhou Yun’s actions, more and more Spirit Valley disciples gathered around the sect-protecting array to look at him. Apart from the disciples who were in closed-door cultivation, ninety percent of the disciples of Spirit Valley squeezed over to look at Zhou Yun!
After the new disciples looked at Zhou Yun and heard the different evaluations of Zhou Yun from both sides, they became even more curious. Would Zhou Yun be able to save Spirit Valley?
After Zhou Yun used the 5 swords and 5 directions to instantly kill the wave of spiritual corpses behind him, he adjusted his breathing as he walked toward the remaining spiritual corpses in front of him.
“There are several hundred foundation establishment spiritual corpses and ten golden core spiritual corpses left. Right now, I’ve only used ten percent of my spiritual energy, so it’s completely enough to deal with it.” Zhou Yun said as he regulated his breathing. The spiritual energy in his body was seventy times that of other cultivators. In fact, as he comprehended the Saint Fire Mantra, the total amount of spiritual energy in Zhou Yun’s body was still increasing!
This was just a one-sided massacre, so Zhou Yun did not use up much of his spiritual energy.
However, Zhou Yun was still extremely cautious as he looked at the ten golden core spiritual corpses! After all, in the entire history of the five sects, there had never been a cultivator who had been able to surpass his cultivation level and defeat a golden core cultivator at the foundation establishment stage. Furthermore, Zhou Yun was going to face ten golden core spiritual corpses! Whether it was in terms of quality or quantity, they were much stronger than ordinary cultivators!
Zhou Yun took a deep breath as he weighed the Fire Dragon Sword. He had already tested the first two moves of the 13 Swords of the Divine Gate and they were very useful. Zhou Yun could not display the last move because his sword seed cultivation heart and sword spirit had not fully matured.
“Let’s clear out the foundation establishment spiritual corpses in front first. I’d better be careful with the golden core spiritual corpses.” Zhou Yun didn’t want anything to interfere with his first encounter with a golden core cultivator. Although Zhou Yun had won his previous battle with Jian Xin, Jian Xin was only a puppet that had been controlled. Moreover, he had won despite being injured. Zhou Yun felt that this could not be used as proof that he could defeat a golden core cultivator.
Zhou Yun looked at the ten golden core spiritual corpses in front of him. If he could kill all of them, he would be able to break the heart demon of the five sects for thousands of years. In fact, he would surpass the records by killing ten golden core spiritual corpses when he was at the mid-stage foundation establishment!
“Let’s clear out the ordinary foundation establishment spiritual corpses first. I have already used two of the 13 Swords of the Divine Gate, so they are no longer of any value. Moreover, the disciples of Spirit Valley behind me have already seen how powerful I am, so killing a foundation establishment spiritual corpse won’t improve their impression of me much. Maybe I should just kill the upgraded spiritual corpse.” Zhou Yun decided to deal with the spiritual corpse first.
“Roar!” Zhou Yun controlled the sword spirit so that it would no longer hide the Fire Sword Intent and the blazing phoenix fire within the Fire Dragon Sword. An extremely hot flame emerged from the Fire Dragon Sword.
As soon as the phoenix fire appeared, the ground around Zhou Yun rapidly dried and carbonized. Even the clouds in the sky were burned and deformed, disappearing without a trace!
As soon as the phoenix fire appeared, all the disciples of Spirit Valley were shocked! Apart from Zhou Yun’s appearance at the beginning, most of Spirit Valley disciples had never seen him use flames!
Now that the phoenix fire had appeared, they only felt a burst of fanaticism! They were clearly separated by the sect-protecting array, but they felt their bodies heat up just by staring at the phoenix fire!
“What kind of flame is this? Could it be a strange fire? But I’ve never seen such a terrifying flame in the ancient books!”
“These flames are too terrifying! I’m clearly separated by the sect-protecting array, but I’m already breaking out in a cold sweat just by looking at it!”
“Could it be that Zhou Yun used this flame to burn hundreds of spiritual corpses into ashes in an instant and save the forty-odd disciples?”
With Zhou Yun’s new attack, more and more disciples turned to look at him. They were all curious as to how he was going to defeat the golden core spiritual corpse!
Could it be that he had to use this terrifying strange fire to burn The golden core spiritual corpse?
When the later disciples heard of Zhou Yun’s story, they also thought that Zhou Yun, who did not have a top-notch spiritual sword, could not possibly kill a golden core spiritual corpse. However, things were different now. If he had a strange fire, he might be able to burn the golden core spiritual corpses to death with its strong temperature!
At this moment, the disciples who had belittled Zhou Yun could no longer sit still. If Zhou Yun really succeeded, then they would really be no match for him!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhou Yun slowly raised the phoenix fire. He then blew a small ball of phoenix fire at a spiritual corpse.
