Chapter 579 - 577: Sword Slashing in All Directions

"You brat, let’s see you act arrogant now! Elder Hu has made his move—there’s no escape for you!"

The long-bearded old man laughed heartily.

He and another Celestial Level Martial Artist from his race launched a frontal assault on Luo Tian.

Meanwhile, behind Luo Tian, Elder Hu of the Sea Demon Palace—a Third Layer Celestial Pool Realm expert—was unleashing a devastating attack. A monstrous claw, like that of a Hellish Demon, tore through everything as it rushed toward Luo Tian.

"Did I say I was going to run?"

Luo Tian retorted.

SHING!

A clear, cold sound rang out as the Ice Nether Sword was unsheathed!

"Celestial Wind Five Techniques, Wind Chasing Cloud Annihilation!"

Luo Tian’s Sword Intent erupted as he slashed out with his sword.

A straight, brilliant white Sword Light kicked up a furious, cold wind, carrying a sharp, sky-piercing momentum as it hacked forward.

The long-bearded old man sensed the danger before the sword strike even landed!

SHH-BOOM!

It was as if a bolt of lightning made of Sword Light had struck, and the cold Sword Qi exploded outward.

Several cuts were sliced into the long-bearded old man’s robes, and he was forced back a dozen steps!

Before he could fully recover, another lightning-fast, ice-cold Sword Light slashed toward him, giving him no chance to breathe!

"Brat, do you have a death wish?"

The long-bearded old man roared.

Luo Tian was frantically attacking him, leaving his back completely exposed to Elder Hu. This was simply courting death!

Elder Hu was at the Third Layer of the Celestial Pool Realm; would he really pass up such a perfect opportunity?

Luo Tian turned a deaf ear to the long-bearded old man’s words.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

His Swordsmanship was a relentless, seemingly endless barrage of attacks. The ferocity of the offensive was enough to strike terror into one’s heart.

The long-bearded old man retreated again and again as bloody gashes of varying depths appeared on his body.

Just then, Elder Hu’s attack descended upon Luo Tian’s back.

"Celestial Furnace Treasure Shield!"

After Luo Tian activated his Celestial Furnace Treasure Body, his entire body glowed with silver light, and a shield of crystalline silver light appeared on his back!

Elder Hu’s attack struck the Celestial Furnace Treasure Shield.

Luo Tian was multitasking, not even putting much effort into his defense. Even so, the Celestial Furnace Treasure Shield had no problem blocking Elder Hu’s attack, only suffering a few cracks.

Not only that, but Luo Tian used the force of Elder Hu’s claw to shoot forward, closing the distance to the long-bearded old man!

’This kid...’

Elder Hu’s brow twitched!

Luo Tian’s defensive capabilities were beyond his expectations.

And Luo Tian had even used his attack to further pressure the long-bearded old man!

Luo Tian’s Swordsmanship never stopped. Its fierce and violent offensive was the essence of the Fifth Technique, "Wind Chasing Cloud Annihilation."

Under this Sword Technique from Luo Tian, the long-bearded old man went from being perfectly unscathed to having tattered robes, a body covered in wounds, and a deathly pale face!

"Save me, Elder Hu!"

The long-bearded old man’s face was twisted with fear and panic as he cried out for help!

"No one can save you!"

A cold glint flashed in Luo Tian’s eyes!

SHLICK!

His final sword stroke sliced across the long-bearded old man’s neck, sending a head flying into the air!

At the long-bearded old man’s death, the entire Cyan Armor Race wailed and roared in fury!

Of the two Celestial Pool Realm experts guarding the Cyan Armor Race, only the last one, at the First Layer of the Celestial Pool Realm, remained!

"Brat, killing someone right in front of me... you’re quite arrogant!"

Elder Hu’s hoarse, Yin Cold voice rang out.

He truly hadn’t taken Luo Tian seriously just now, but now, Elder Hu was getting angry!

"Is killing someone in front of you considered arrogant? Well, nothing to be done about it. I might have to be arrogant for a while longer."

Luo Tian found it slightly amusing, his tone light and casual.

Because he still had to wipe out the entire upper echelon of the Cyan Armor Race, which meant killing a lot of people!

Elder Hu was thoroughly enraged!

This human junior was so outrageously insolent!

A staff appeared in his hand. It glowed with a black metallic luster, and its tip was a black skeletal claw, looking exceptionally sinister!

It was a top-tier Low Grade Profound Artifact!

To use such a Weapon against a junior who had just broken through to the Celestial Pool Realm showed that he was taking this incredibly seriously!

WHOOSH!

Elder Hu swung his staff, and a cluster of pitch-black, chilling claws shot out like Ghostly Spirits and Fierce Ghosts!

SWOOSH!

Luo Tian executed the Moon Shadow Step Technique, transforming into a blurry afterimage to dodge Elder Hu’s attack.

The next moment, Luo Tian closed in on the last Celestial Level Martial Artist of the Cyan Armor Race!

WHOOSH!

That Celestial Level Martial Artist felt Luo Tian’s killing intent and immediately turned to flee, bursting forth with his top speed!

But it was all in vain.

Luo Tian’s simple sword strike contained immense killing power and, with pinpoint accuracy, sealed off the Celestial Level Martial Artist’s escape route!

SPLURCH!

The last Celestial Level Martial Artist of the Cyan Armor Race was split in two!

"I’ve killed in front of you again."

Luo Tian’s tone was light.

Elder Hu’s expression darkened as he growled, "You won’t escape the palm of my hand!"

"Hm?"

Luo Tian swept the area with his Spiritual Sense. He had dodged Elder Hu’s attack just now.

But that pitch-black claw seemed to possess a Spiritual quality and was pouncing on him again.

Luo Tian continued to use his Body Technique, rushing into the crowd of Cyan Armor Race members and starting a massacre!

These were all people who had come to kill him.

They were also all members of the Cyan Armor Race’s upper echelon.

So Luo Tian showed no mercy, slaughtering them all!

SPLAT!

A brilliant spray of blood erupted, and in an instant, seven or eight bodies plummeted from the sky!

This scene terrified the remaining members of the Cyan Armor Race. They fled in panic, crying out for mercy or for help!

As for Elder Hu, he stood his ground, not moving an inch, but he continuously swung his staff, launching one attack after another!

In the blink of an eye, nine enormous, pitch-black phantom claws were now relentlessly pursuing Luo Tian like ghosts!

’Is it that special Profound Artifact?’

Luo Tian mused.

Elder Hu’s attacks would relentlessly pursue their target.

At first, it wasn’t a big deal. But once the attacks accumulated to a certain number, it became terrifying!

Just imagine, how horrifying would it be to be besieged by nine attacks from a Third Layer Celestial Pool Realm expert?

WHOOSH!

Elder Hu attacked again, and a tenth enormous, pitch-black, sinister claw appeared in the void!

"Heh heh, Luo Tian, can you still afford to be arrogant before this old man now?"

A cold sneer formed on Elder Hu’s lips.

He had noticed early on that Luo Tian’s Body Technique was extraordinarily fast, bearing some resemblance to the legendary Body Technique of the Void Thief King.

Thinking about how Luo Tian had obtained a portion of the Treasure of the Thief King...

Elder Hu suspected that Luo Tian had very likely learned a part of the Thief King’s Body Technique.

If Luo Tian decided to flee, he wasn’t certain he could stop him.

Therefore, he had used the special property of his Profound Artifact to lay an inescapable net!

Sacrificing a few members of the Cyan Armor Race for this purpose was completely inconsequential to him.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

From all directions, ten black claws of death swarmed toward Luo Tian.

It was extremely difficult for Luo Tian to dodge, but even if he did, they would just continue their pursuit!

"Well done, Elder Hu!"

Ju Huan laughed heartily.

"As expected of Young Master Ju Huan, to have such an expert protecting you in secret."

"Luo Tian, the peerless genius of the Tai Yuan Sect, is dead for sure this time!"

a few young masters chimed in with flattery.

Although their cultivation was low, the current situation was clear at a glance!

Elder Hu already had the absolute advantage, and it was still growing!

"Your little trap isn’t bad, but for me, it’s easily broken."

Luo Tian’s gaze swept over his surroundings without a hint of panic.

SWOOSH!

With a flash, Luo Tian’s figure split into nine, scattering in all directions!

The moment "Moon Traces and Illusions" appeared, Elder Hu’s trap was thrown into chaos!

Those ten attacks seemed to be confused about who their real target was!

It could be said that Moon Traces and Illusions was the perfect counter to this kind of technique!

RUMBLE-WHOOSH!

Suddenly, Luo Tian’s true body pushed his Divine Vein to its limit, and a vortex of dark, profound Cold Current instantly swept out over a radius of three to four hundred meters.

Within the Cold Current Vortex, two Dark Cold Dragons could be seen swimming.

This was a sign that his Martial Vein Power had grown even stronger after his cultivation broke through to the Celestial Pool Realm.

All of Elder Hu’s attacks were caught in the Cold Power vortex, where they were eroded and frozen!

SHH-BOOM-BOOM-BOOM...

With a few simple sweeps of his sword, Luo Tian shattered them all to pieces!

Elder Hu found it hard to accept that his meticulously laid plan had ended like this.

"Is that all you’ve got?"

Luo Tian commented nonchalantly before taking the initiative to attack.

Flames of rage surged in Elder Hu’s heart as he charged forward to meet him head-on.

WHOOSH!

A sinister, pitch-black beam of light shot out from the metal staff, crushing everything in its path as it blasted forward.

Elder Hu was skilled at setting traps, but his direct offensive abilities were equally powerful.

"Absolute Wind!"

Luo Tian executed the Fourth Technique of the Sky Wind Divine Sword.

SHHIIINNG!

A brilliant white Sword Light, like a bolt of silk, shot across the world and pierced straight through the sinister, pitch-black beam!

In terms of attack power, Luo Tian, who cultivated a Celestial Level Upper Grade Swordsmanship and had comprehended Wind Sword Intent, had the upper hand!

Furthermore, Luo Tian’s Swordsmanship contained a powerful, cold might.

Once it wounded an enemy, the cold intent would invade their body.

Even if it didn’t land a direct hit, as long as the sword got close enough to an enemy, the cold intent from his Divine Vein could still affect them.

SPLURT!

A streak of Sword Qi left a bloody gash on Elder Hu’s leg.

This scene shocked Elder Hu.

Down below, the many members of the Cyan Armor Race, as well as Ju Huan, were inwardly terrified!

In a direct confrontation, Luo Tian was actually stronger than Elder Hu!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Luo Tian activated his Moon Shadow Step Technique, and his originally elegant and agile Swordsmanship became bizarre and tricky, making it impossible to defend against!

Several more wounds appeared on Elder Hu.

"Impossible!"

Elder Hu’s expression was grave as intense doubt bloomed in his heart!

’How could I, a dignified Third Layer Celestial Pool Realm expert, possibly be no match for Luo Tian?’

"Shadowy Stab."

Luo Tian’s Sword Technique changed as he executed the second technique of the Void Yin Sword Technique!

A ghastly, bizarre, pitch-black strand of Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, silently sliced through the void!

For this strike, Luo Tian used his Void Yin Sword Intent, making the Swordsmanship stealthy and swift, with enhanced killing power!

PFFT!

Elder Hu’s True Essence Shield was pierced, and a thin, finger-like strand of black Sword Qi ran through his chest!

Elder Hu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Without any further hesitation, he turned and fled!

WHOOSH!

Luo Tian gave chase!

The entire scene fell silent. Everyone was dumbfounded.

The two Celestial Level experts of the Cyan Armor Race had been killed, and the Third Layer Celestial Pool Realm expert secretly protecting Ju Huan had been severely wounded by Luo Tian and forced to flee!

He was too terrifying, too vicious!

"Run!"

"When that Demon gets back, he definitely won’t spare us! Let’s go, quickly!"

Within the Cyan Armor Race, everyone scrambled to escape.

"Luo Tian, you just wait! When I get back to the Sea Demon Palace, I’ll have my great-grandfather send an even stronger expert!"

Ju Huan cursed, exasperated and furious, then also fled in disgrace.

But before he left, he glanced at the broad-faced man and the gentle-looking woman.

"You two, you can both die for me!"

Ju Huan yelled.

His cultivation was at the Earth Element Realm Sixth Layer; dealing with these two humans related to Luo Tian would be a piece of cake!

But suddenly, a cold voice sounded from behind Ju Huan. "What do you think you’re doing?"

Everyone trembled and turned to look. Luo Tian had returned at some unknown point, blood dripping from the sharp sword in his hand.

The hairs on the back of Ju Huan’s neck stood on end. He turned around stiffly, and upon seeing Luo Tian, who looked like a Sword God of death, his heart sank to rock bottom.
