Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What’s going on?”
“Why is there quicksand here?!”
The quicksand seemed to have started to appear right underneath Cao Huaian and his group. Then, it swiftly became bigger. In an instant, it spread under a large number of Embroidered Uniform Guards. The quicksand spread at a speed that no one could escape from, and it just continued expanding. In an instant, it caused everyone to feel uneasy.
Quite a number of people cried out in surprise as they tried to make their horses run out of the quicksand.
But they were facing the might of nature itself. While they were trapped by quicksand, even martial artists would have a hard time trying to run. Hence, normal horses would have an even harder time trying to get away.
All sorts of neighing sounds rose and fell. Many of the horses struggled, but the more they struggled, the more they sank.
As for Cao Huaian and his group, since they had no steeds, they had to execute their lightness skills, and things were easier for them.
Using this chance, Cao Huaian sent a message to them.
“Heaven itself is helping us! Slaughter our way out and be careful of Tsao Suiyan!”
“Alright!”
Phantasmal Shadow, Silver Wolf, and the others had long since been unable to wait. When they heard this, they quickly drew their weapons and followed Cao Huaian as well as Mo Yan to break out of the encirclement from the left in one go.
The group of Embroidered Uniform Guards could not care about Cao Huaian and his rebels because of the shock in their horses. At that moment, when they faced the ambush from the player party and the rebels, they could not even form any organized resistance. They were quickly swept down their horses by Mo Yan, who led the charge and attacked them with his quicksword.
“Let’s go!”
Mo Yan turned his head around and shouted at them. He was just in time to see Tsao Suiyan crush another longsword in the chaos. The dancing shards shot through Cao Huaian’s shoulder. At the same time, it shot down around ten players behind him. The players fell on the ground, and in an instant, they were devoured by the aggressive quicksand.
Cao Huaian and the others clearly overlooked something.
The normal Embroidered Uniform Guards were largely weakened after their horses were shocked. Their advantage in numbers turned into their greatest weakness, but the eighteen hidden guards among the Embroidered Uniform Guards and Tsao Suiyan never panicked.
During the sudden disaster, Tsao Suiyan attacked and eliminated more than twenty careless players, around ten in each attack. Among his victims were Niu Dali. All of them were shot by those fragments and fell into the quicksand.
“Take down these rebels!”
After crushing two sabers, Tsao Suiyan jumped up from his steed. His gentle voice was fused with the awe-inspiring might of a leader, which was formed over a long period of time, and it traveled into each Embroidered Uniform Guards’ ears.
“Understood!”
The eighteen hidden guards shot toward Tsao Suiyan and the group like arrows fired from their bows.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards around them started giving up their steeds. They ignored everything and charged toward Cao Huaian.
“This is bad!”
Phantasmal Shadow, Silver Wolf, and his group managed to save Cao Huaian, but in an instant, they were surrounded by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Pressure pushed down on them continuously from all sides, and their expressions changed.
“Leave me here. I’ll hold Tsao Suiyan back.”
At that moment, a black figure suddenly charged out of the yellow sand beneath Tsao Suiyan and shot into the air. The dazzling saber glare turned into a blinding flash under the desert sun.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards under the saber glare and Tsao Suiyan were both caught off guard. The powerful light pierced into their eyes, and they closed them.
“Protect the commander!”
The two hidden guards closest to Tsao Suiyan turned around instantly.
The black shadow who rushed out of the yellow sand was the employee who scraped meat out of bones from Dragon Gate Inn. In the movies, this person’s slash reduced Tsao Suiyan’s hands and feet into mere skeletons, and he was reduced to a cripple because of it.
But at that moment, Tsao Suiyan clearly would not let him get his way so easily.
Young Wu, the one in charge of scraping meat off bones, had to change his attack spontaneously because of the appearance of the hidden guards. Suddenly, with loud, clanging sounds, he spun like a wheel and got in between these two people’s attack trajectory.
“Ah!”
“My hands!”
“My legs!”
Tsao Suiyan’s fate in the movies was now divided between these two hidden guards. While pained wails rose, they were flung to the left and right of the ground.
However, Young Wu did not have an easy time either. Since he faced two Myth Realm elites, he was hit with three slashes from a saber and two slashes from a sword. He lost his balance and fell on the ground. Both sides ended up being injured badly.
At that moment, a shocking scene appeared.
This area was originally a sand hill, but now, the entire circular area of three-tenths of a mile was reduced to a huge basin. The center of the region sank by 656 feet. Countless steeds neighed in shock and pain. It seemed like they could no longer turn the tides, and no one could possibly save them.
However, something even more shocking appeared.
Boom!
A bloody shower suddenly exploded from among these thousands of war horses who were given up by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Short and devastated neighs rose. Countless Embroidered Uniform Guards felt a great, terrifying, aggressive, and brutal presence rose from beneath him. They stopped moving and turned their gazes to the side to look at the center of the quicksand. They were just in time to see more than one hundred war horses being cut apart by a snow-white saber glare. In an instant, it tore the horses apart into cube-shaped flesh.
A bloody shower was thrown into the air. It formed a sticky looking and terrifying bloody fog. A built, blood-red figure with an awe-inspiring figure charged into the air, and in an instant, countless pairs of eyes were trained on him.
“This is…”
In an instant, the Embroided Uniform Guards found themselves at a loss for words.
Not only had this person killed hundreds of war horses in the pit in one go, after he charged into the air, his body remained suspended in the air in a miraculous fashion. He looked down at the world, and his presence as someone who stood above all else in terms of strength caused countless people to feel their hearts tremble.
Even the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Tsao Suiyan gave up on continuing to pursue Cao Huaian and his group at that moment. He stopped and had his prideful demeanor fall away. He frowned and stared at the swordsman in black who appeared in the air.
With just one glance, Tsao Suiyan’s gaze suddenly landed on the golden divine weapon in the swordsman’s hands.
“Tiger Soul…”
As expected of an important official in the court. He had countless resources available to him. Naturally, he could tell with just one glance that the long weapon with a spine attached to it and was releasing a brutal as well as astonishing presence under the sun was the legendary divine weapon, Tiger Soul.
“When Tiger Soul reappears, all manner of life will be slain!
“What?”
“That’s Tiger Soul?”
Cao Huaian and his group of people were also shocked by the image behind them. They stopped moving and stared in shock at the black dot who looked like a demon in the air. “Who is that person?”
“Could it be that someone has already discovered the secret of the desert palace?!” Jin Xiangyu, who had been keeping a low profile in the crowd, cried out in surprise with her face completely pale.
The quest came to an abrupt halt. Phantasmal Shadow, Silver Wolf, and the others were naturally shocked as well. They turned around. When they heard Cao Huaian and Jin Xiangyu’s words, they put on shocked expressions.
“Desert palace?”
Phantasmal Shadow had a cunning and delighted look appear in her eyes.
“It had been half a day since the black sandstorm had passed. I didn’t expect that we would still be able to run into the treasures from the desert palace. Could it be that the plot in Dragon Gate Inn is actually different from the original plot? So, the desert palace and Dragon Gate Inn is actually connected together?”
“Tower Master!
“Tiger Soul is actually an ancient divine weapon at the level of Heaven Crystal. Its power and value is far beyond any of the current high-grade divine weapons.” The Wind Assault Tower elites were incredibly excited.
But when they thought about it, they knew that they would just be marching to their own deaths if they attacked right now. They were already powerless against the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and now, this swordsman in black armor popped up, and he was incredibly brutal. His strength was also unfathomable. It was suicide to try and get Tiger Soul from their hands.
At the same time, Silver Wolf and his party noticed this scene, and they exchanged a shocked glance.
“Desert palace?”
“The plot in the desert palace has actually become intersected with Dragon Gate Inn’s plot? This is something you can never imagine in a normal quest.” Silver Wolf frowned. Then, he remembered a new problem. “I heard that there are seven people in the dao of heaven who entered the desert palace, and this person is definitely not among them. Who is he?”
“And…”
The group also thought of a new problem.
If the palace was located right under the desert, where were the other people in the dao of heaven? Were they dead or alive?
Then, as if to answer the question in their hearts, less than two seconds after the swordsman in black armor decided to remain suspended in the air, an awe-inspiring and mighty dragon’s roar suddenly rose from under him, and the red quicksand exploded abruptly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The countless torn limbs from the horses had been devoured by the quicksand. Then, the force that exploded from under the quicksand suddenly threw them into the air again. They were mixed with countless red sand, and the entire thing looked like a sand waterfall.
Under thousands of shocked gazes from the Embroidered Uniform Guards, several people with extraordinary presences broke through the center of the quicksand and rose into the air.
“Hmph!”
In the air, the swordsman in black armor had his eyes turn cold. Without any hesitation, he delivered a horizontal slash with the Tiger Soul in his hands.
A snow-white saber glare that could tear through the horizon was flung downwards with a destructive presence. It managed to include all the people under it in its attack range.
At the moment the sabe glare appeared, the entire quicksand pit seemed to be pushed down by a strange air pressure. The sand sank swiftly.
Then, an invisible wave of impact swept through all directions.
Phantasmal Shadow, Silver Wolf, and the others sensed the power in the swordsman’s slash, and their faces turned deathly pale.
‘The gap in their strength was too great!’
They had witnessed the strength within Evil King before, and he was also someone in the dao of heaven. But compared to the mysterious elite before them, he was just too weak.
There was no doubt in them. They knew that if they drew close, they would even be killed by the remaining force!
Could they actually face a person at this level and try to take the item in his hands?
At that moment…
Clang!
The world was shocked.
An astonishing sword will that practically tore through the skies went up against the snow-white saber glare. The desert and the air started trembling madly.
The slash that had managed to put pressure on the entire desert was instantly destroyed. Both attacks were reduced to a mighty force that swept through the area.
The powerful sandstorm that stirred from it caused the Embroidered Uniform Guards around them to stagger.
The swordsman in black armor did not manage to kill anyone in his attack. He could only watch as the group of people who followed him out of the pyramid charge out of the flowing sand.
However, the power in the sword shocked many of the people in the desert.
The swordsman had displayed peerless strength just now, and it caused them to feel as if they could not stand up against him. However, that seemingly divine slash had easily crushed this earth-shattering attack. Cao Huaian and Mo Yan were stunned speechless right now, and they mumbled, “Where did all these powerful people come from?”
They had seen a few people in the dao of heaven while they were at Dragon Gate Inn, but they did not see anyone who was this strong. Hence, they could not help but feel very curious about the people who charged out of the quicksand.
However, when they looked at them carefully, they saw a strange group.
There were men, women, the elderly, and the young among them. They landed in the area in an incredibly pathetic manner. Only a white-clad teenager remained unharmed. The others were injured pretty badly.
