Chapter 563 - 561: Cyan Armor Race’s Nightmare

The man in black armor suddenly launched a counter-attack against Luo Tian!

As long as they captured Luo Tian, it wouldn’t be a loss even if they lost the war.

WHOOSH!

In the void, a stream of cyan light churned and transformed into a hundred-meter-long, giant cyan hand. It pulsed with immense pressure as it reached for Luo Tian!

With his cultivation at the Peak of Celestial Pool Realm First Layer, capturing someone at the Earth Element Realm Ninth Layer should have been effortless!

"Luo Tian, be careful!"

"Get back!"

The Yunxiao Sect Master, the Grand Elder, and the others all shouted out in alarm!

Luo Tian was a peerless genius from Dongchen and had just saved the Yunxiao Sect in its most critical moment. They couldn’t let him face a life-or-death crisis!

But the Yunxiao Sect Master was too far away.

The Grand Elder had been severely wounded by Zhou Yuquan’s earlier sneak attack and couldn’t possibly stop the man in black armor.

The two of them placed their hopes on the Mu Family Elders.

But to their disbelief, the two Mu Family Elders didn’t seem particularly anxious, nor did they rush to save Luo Tian.

’Damn it, how can they do this... Why aren’t they saving Luo Tian?’

The Yunxiao Sect Master was furious.

Suddenly, a heaven-shaking Sword Intent, sharp and soaring, erupted into the sky! Accompanied by gusts of razor-sharp wind, it stirred the clouds and resonated with the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!

Immediately after, a brilliant, crystalline white Sword Light bloomed!

The Sword Qi, wreathed in layers of swirling wind, drew upon the power of the world. The elegant swordsmanship contained a hint of feral power!

SCHWIIING!

A crack instantly appeared on the hundred-meter-long giant cyan hand, which then collapsed and exploded, kicking up a storm of energy!

"This..."

The Yunxiao Sect Master was dumbfounded!

’Did I see that right? Luo Tian shattered the attack of the man in black armor with a single strike!’

"What?"

The most shocked of all was the man in black armor.

He had thought it would be an easy capture, but the result was terrifying!

’This kid is a monster!’

The man in black armor finally understood that Luo Tian had deliberately acted as "bait" to lure him in.

"Die!"

The red-faced old man and the middle-aged woman closed in to attack.

BOOM!

Caught off guard, the man in black armor was struck, and several pieces of his pitch-black armor shattered and fell off!

He spat several mouthfuls of blood and fled in a panic!

At this moment, the man in black armor didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. He focused solely on escaping!

But his injuries were too severe, and his pursuers were relentless. It seemed all hope was lost.

Just then, the man in black armor saw a dark cloud pressing in from the distance!

It was reinforcements!

The man in black armor sensed the aura of his own race, the aura of a Celestial Level Martial Artist!

In that instant, the man in black armor’s hope was rekindled!

As long as he could rendezvous with the reinforcements, his life would be saved!

"I’d advise you not to get your hopes up,"

Luo Tian said coldly.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

His figure shot forward, leaving a series of blurry afterimages that dazzled the eye.

The man in black armor’s eyes could barely keep up with Luo Tian’s speed!

In the blink of an eye, Luo Tian closed the distance and slashed down with his sword!

"No!"

The man in black armor roared in terror!

Hope was right in front of him, but Luo Tian had suddenly erupted with unbelievable speed, snuffing it out!

In the man in black armor’s eyes, that elegant, snow-white Sword Light rapidly grew larger!

SCHLICK!

A thin line split open between the man in black armor’s brows. His entire body was cleaved in two and fell from the sky.

With their Commander-in-Chief dead, the entire Cyan Armor Race army descended into chaos and fled madly!

Zhou Yuquan’s face was filled with resentment.

He had thought he’d made the right choice, that the Yunxiao Sect would be wiped out and the Cyan Armor Race would become the overlords of this region.

But Luo Tian’s appearance had completely turned the tables, sending the Cyan Armor Race army fleeing for their lives!

In the entire war on the Eastern Domain battlefield, the Cyan Armor Race had never suffered such a humiliating defeat!

"This..."

"He’s dead?"

The Yunxiao Sect Master and the others were inexplicably shocked.

This man in black armor had killed countless Dongchen Martial Artists and had even severely wounded the Supreme Elder.

But then he ran into Luo Tian and just... croaked.

After a war that had lasted for several years, the Yunxiao Sect had suddenly achieved victory. It felt surreal.

In the distance, the Cyan Armor Race army that had come as reinforcements from the Northern Domain witnessed the man in black armor being slain.

Their faces were pale with horror, and their hearts churned with shock!

"Elder Fu!"

A green-haired old woman shouted.

Just moments ago, Elder Fu had replied to her message, saying he was doing just fine.

And in such a short time, Elder Fu was dead!

The green-haired old woman observed the enemy.

If the enemy had suffered heavy losses, she was determined to annihilate the Yunxiao Sect and avenge Elder Fu!

After all, with the Cyan Armor Race armies from both the Eastern and Northern Domains gathered here, victory would be easy as long as there wasn’t a huge disparity in high-end combat power.

"Take down that old hag!"

At that moment, on the Yunxiao Sect’s side, Luo Tian stared at the green-haired old woman and roared!

Hearing this, the green-haired old woman’s anger flared.

’How dare some snot-nosed brat brazenly insult me!’

The green-haired old woman also recognized Luo Tian as the murderer of the Cyan Armor Race Leader’s fifth son!

"All troops, on my command, annihilate the Yunxiao Sect!"

The green-haired old woman bellowed!

She led her army to join with the Eastern Domain’s Cyan Armor Race forces and charged toward the Yunxiao Sect!

"Now that you’re here, don’t even think about leaving."

The corners of Luo Tian’s mouth curled up!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The two Mu Family Elders suddenly pressed toward the green-haired old woman. Their cultivation auras erupted completely as two powerful Palm Techniques shot out to kill!

"Two Celestial Pool Realm experts!"

The green-haired old woman’s eyelid twitched. She knew she had walked into a trap!

Her cultivation was also at the Peak of Celestial Pool Realm First Layer, but among the enemy’s Celestial Pool Realm experts, one was at the Celestial Pool Realm Second Layer!

And it seemed the Yunxiao Sect’s Supreme Elder hadn’t even shown himself yet.

’How the hell are we supposed to fight this?’

"Retreat!"

The green-haired old woman bellowed again.

Her entire army was baffled. One moment she was shouting to kill the enemy, the next she was shouting to retreat.

Immediately after, the Cyan Armor Race army saw the green-haired old woman being chased and beaten by the two Mu Family Elders and Luo Tian.

"Hurry, retreat!"

"Gods, how did the Yunxiao Sect get so fierce?"

The Cyan Armor Race army that had just arrived from the Northern Domain was terrified and hastily retreated.

"Damn you, your Human Race is truly treacherous!"

The green-haired old woman cursed as she fled.

She had performed a Divination and foreseen that something might happen to Elder Fu, which was why she had come to provide support.

But she hadn’t divined that she herself would meet with a mishap.

SHIIING!

Luo Tian activated his Divine Vein Cold Power, infusing it into his Sword Technique. He slashed out, unleashing a torrent of Cold Wind Sword Qi that froze the very air to ice!

The green-haired old woman narrowly dodged the strike, but a shocking coldness swept over her, eroding her body.

"Such strong Martial Vein Power!"

The green-haired old woman was shocked!

Even though she was aware of it, she had no way to avoid it.

She was being hunted by three opponents with Celestial Level Combat Power. Moreover, Luo Tian’s swordsmanship was precise, his movements graceful and agile, and his Sword Skills were superb.

Finally, as the coldness gradually eroded her, the green-haired old woman’s speed slowed, and she was ganged up on by Luo Tian and the other two.

Within a few breaths, the green-haired old woman was covered in wounds.

After all, in terms of combat power, Luo Tian, the middle-aged woman, and the red-faced old man were all stronger than her!

A three-on-one fight was simply too easy.

"The Cyan Armor Race will avenge me!"

Before she died, the green-haired old woman roared in grief and indignation!

...

With their high-end combat power eliminated, the rest of the battle was simply the Yunxiao Sect hunting down the Cyan Armor Race’s army.

The chase lasted for half a day as the Cyan Armor Race scattered in all directions.

The Yunxiao Sect army split into several teams to continue the pursuit, while a small number of high-ranking members returned to the Yunxiao Sect.

"Hahaha, two of the Cyan Armor Race’s Celestial Level Martial Artists have fallen here today! The remaining Cyan Armor Race forces in the entire Eastern and Northern Domains are no longer a threat!"

The Yunxiao Sect Master laughed heartily, feeling incredibly relieved.

They had all killed many members of the Cyan Armor Race in this battle. It was truly gratifying!

"This is all thanks to Nephew Luo and these two experts from the Mu Family."

"Your contributions were indispensable!"

Several of the Yunxiao Sect’s high-ranking members expressed their gratitude and flattery.

"Sect Leader, is Zhou Yuquan dead?"

Luo Tian asked.

The battlefield had been chaotic, and he had been dealing with the Cyan Armor Race’s high-end combatants, so he hadn’t paid any attention to Zhou Yuquan.

"That traitor escaped."

The Yunxiao Sect Master said, grinding his teeth.

For the esteemed Third Elder of the Yunxiao Sect to become a traitor was a disgrace to all the high-ranking members.

"Don’t worry, Luo Tian. He won’t get away. Once we find him, we will execute him on the spot without mercy!"

The Grand Elder said, filled with righteous indignation.

"Yes, I also believe he won’t get away."

Luo Tian nodded.

「A few days later.」

Luo Tian proposed to the Yunxiao Sect Master that he act alone to mop up the remaining remnants of the Cyan Armor Race.

He wouldn’t be staying in Dongchen for long. He wanted to resolve everything as quickly as possible, preferably by ending the war and wiping out the Cyan Armor Race!

After the great battle a few days prior, the Cyan Armor Race armies from the Eastern and Northern Domains had scattered and were now hiding in various places.

The Yunxiao Sect was doing its best to search for and eliminate them, but their efficiency was average at best.

"Alright."

The Yunxiao Sect Master agreed without hesitation.

He had long since witnessed Luo Tian’s strength. There were probably very few people in the entire Eastern Domain who could even harm him.

Afterward, Luo Tian and the two Mu Family Elders boarded a Void Ship and left the Yunxiao Sect.

"Luo, hunting down remnants is a thankless task. We should just let the Yunxiao Sect handle it. As long as we deal with the Cyan Armor Race’s high-end combat power, we can decide the outcome of the war."

The red-faced old man said.

"You have to pull out the weeds by the roots!"

Luo Tian’s expression was calm.

If the remnants of the Cyan Armor Race weren’t cleaned up completely, they would definitely be a huge hidden danger!

The red-faced old man agreed with Luo Tian’s reasoning; he just found the task too troublesome.

Luo Tian’s consciousness entered the Celestial Book World. "Celestial Book, where is the nearest Cyan Armor Race stronghold?"

With so many clues available, performing an Inference on the whereabouts of some Earth Element Realm cultivators was incredibly easy.

The Celestial Book consumed a dozen or so pages of Energy and provided seven or eight strongholds!

「One day later.」

Luo Tian arrived at a mountain stream where over a hundred remnants of the Cyan Armor Race were hiding.

When Luo Tian appeared, everyone was stunned.

"It’s Luo Tian!"

A member of the Cyan Armor Race cried out!

None of the Cyan Armor Race remnants could have imagined that Luo Tian would personally lead two Celestial Level Martial Artists to hunt them down.

The highest cultivation among them was only the Earth Element Realm Eighth Layer.

At that moment, it was as if they were looking at the Death God himself. They were filled with utter despair.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The red-faced old man and the middle-aged woman attacked, effortlessly slaughtering the enemy.

Afterward, the Void Ship headed to the next stronghold.

Even the two Mu Family Elders were astounded. They wondered if Luo Tian had planted a mole within the Cyan Armor Race, as he seemed to know the hiding places of all the remnants with perfect clarity!

And so, the nightmare for the Cyan Armor Race began!

Luo Tian’s group of three conducted a near-systematic sweep. No matter where the Cyan Armor Race remnants hid, they could not escape and were all eliminated.

"This Zhou Yuquan sure knows how to hide. I wonder how long he can keep it up."

Luo Tian said with a faint smile.
