Chapter 531: Heavenly Sword Exterminates Evil

Heavenly Sword Daoist swung his sword back, breaking Xinran Zhanglao's Technique, then thrust forward, the Technique was fierce, and brushed past Xinran Zhanglao.

Xinran Zhanglao would not give him a free pass, turned his hand, unleashed three Techniques, sealing several directions around the Heavenly Sword Daoist, who could not evade, and only raised his blade to shatter the three Techniques. Before he could rejoice, Xinran Zhanglao's sword appeared before his eyes, hidden behind a Technique, and rushed straight for his chest.

This sword, appearing ordinary and powerless, in fact, once struck, leads only to death.

The Heavenly Sword Daoist stepped back, steadied his stance, and parried with a reverse swing.

Bang.

Blade collided, and in an instant the two separated; the Heavenly Sword Daoist was flung ten meters, his body not yet touching ground, Xinran Zhanglao's Technique tore through the air with a sharp whoosh, and when it reached him, that Technique surged to three times its size.

Unable to dodge or resist, the Heavenly Sword Daoist gritted his teeth, forcibly withstood the sword, his feet sank into the mud and slid back three meters; before he could recover, pain in his arm told him that Xinran Zhanglao's next attack was upon him.

The cold light flickered; the Heavenly Sword Daoist shifted his body, and a spray of fresh blood spattered across his face.

The wound gaped, the intense pain jolted his nerves; the Heavenly Sword Daoist had never been so clear‑headed, he stared around, and within a few breaths he was already surrounded by Technique.

"Technique cage."

The surroundings resembled a cage, line after line of Technique sealing off any chance to breathe; as swordsmen, they all understood each other's might and strength, and must attack relentlessly, giving the opponent no chance to retaliate—once the initiative is seized, it remains seized.

They will not... stop here; the Heavenly Sword Daoist knew that what lay ahead would be a raging storm.

"Xinran Zhanglao, does Spirit Sword Sect really intend to intervene in this matter?"

Xinran Zhanglao coldly smiled: "Heavenly Sword Daoist, you need not keep asking; since I can strike, it represents Spirit Sword Sect."

"Look, those disciples died terribly."

The disciples the Heavenly Sword Daoist brought met a grim fate, most of them perished; the Black Dragon Guard and Monster Race, once they act, will not give you a chance to survive. Everyone knows the danger, and all desire the destruction of Heavenly Heart Sect.

Monster Race, humans, or other forces—all want Heavenly Heart Sect to fall.

To develop and rise, they must annihilate Heavenly Heart Sect.

And the Heavenly Sword Daoist and his companions are their next test.

"Heavenly Sword Daoist, if I were you, I would surrender to seek a chance of survival, rather than stubbornly resist."

"You and Tianlian Zhenren cannot leave this place alive; everything you do is futile."

Many forces are watching them; even if they leave this place alive, they cannot return to Heavenly Heart Sect.

That is their tacit agreement; the Yin Gui Sect's celestial net is intended for Heavenly Heart Sect.

The territories of Yin Gui Sect, to be honest, the people present are not interested; such places, with ghost qi and yin qi, are not what they desire—there are more drawbacks than benefits.

"All of you, aren't you afraid of Heavenly Heart Sect's retaliation?"

The Heavenly Sword Daoist could not fail to understand their thinking, yet he had no choice; to survive, he must intimidate them, make them fear, and thus make them stand down.

The disciples of Heavenly Heart Sect are already dead; none can survive.

He, cannot die.

Junior sister Tianlian also cannot die.

"Junior sister Tianlian, find a way to escape this place; you and I, even if only one of us gets out,..."

The Heavenly Sword Daoist sent a mental message to Tianlian Zhenren, urging her to find any means to leave, rather than stay and die.

Tianlian Zhenren was startled, lifted her head, looked toward the Heavenly Sword senior brother surrounded by Technique; at that moment, she realized they had reached a life‑or‑death juncture, and if they did not flee, they might all remain here.

"Senior brother."

"Junior sister, don't worry about senior brother; if you can get out, get out as fast as possible, senior brother will hold the rear."

The Heavenly Sword Daoist knew he could not escape.

The only chance was to send the junior sister out.

The difficulty was high, but he also had to try.

"Heavenly Sword."

The Heavenly Sword Daoist raised his sword, pointing at the sky.

In an instant, above the sky, a massive blade tore open the heavens, descending.

This is the origin of the Heavenly Sword Daoist's title, and also his supreme divine art.

The Heavenly Sword divine art summons the Heavenly Sword to annihilate all.

Where the Heavenly Sword's shroud falls, everyone will be shattered to death.

"Senior brother."

The Heavenly Sword Daoist's body rose into the air, the Heavenly Sword above his head; at this moment, he was the supreme god.

The sword hovered as a razor above everyone's heads.

Buzz.

The Heavenly Sword Daoist endured the pain and the Technique's slicing, ignoring Xinran Zhanglao's attack.

Hmph.

"Xinran Zhanglao, and all of you, go to die."

"Heavenly Sword Exterminates Evil."

One sword, exterminating evil.

Human or ghost alike.

Regardless of what you are, once locked by Technique, you shall die.

The hunters lifted their heads, staring at that sword, each one dumbfounded.

Jing Yuheng immediately ordered: "Retreat, Black Dragon Guard, retreat."

The order just issued, the Black Dragon Guard around instantly withdrew.

On the Monster Race side, the Qinglu Demon likewise gave the command, letting his subordinates depart.

"Heavenly Sword, it seems the Heavenly Sword Daoist is about to go all out."

The Qinglu Demon whispered to himself, he did not leave immediately, ensuring all his subordinates had left.

On the other side, the Yin Dragon Holy Son lifted his head and was startled for a moment.

"Heavenly Sword?"

"Indeed, their purpose is not the Yin Gui Sect, but the Heavenly Heart Sect."

The Yin Dragon Holy Son and his companions were all covered by the Heavenly Sword; they were also within its attack range.

"Fine, Sect Master, consider yourself lucky."

He turned and left this place, escaping the Heavenly Sword's attack range.

Four Elders and the others let out a sigh of relief; if they truly pressed on, many would likely die.

Elder Liu ordered, "Yin Gui Sect disciples, flee for your lives."

Those disciples, having recovered a bit of ghost qi, said nothing and left directly.

Several Elders stared at that Heavenly Sword; the Sect Master was still unconscious. They could leave, but if they departed, those disciples would be unable to go, and it was uncertain how many would die.

And the Sect Master as well; by abandoning the Sect Master, they could ensure their own safety.

"Elders, you all flee for your lives."

Elder Si pondered for a long while and then spoke.

"Sect Master, entrust me; I will protect the Sect Master."

He cannot abandon the Sect Master.

Elder Liu and Elder Ba, in unison, said, "Elder Si, we were all promoted by the Sect Master; the Sect Master has saved our lives. Without the Sect Master, none of us would exist. Now that the Sect Master is in trouble, how could we abandon him to save ourselves?"

Elder Jiu shook his head and said, "We will resist this divine technique together."

Elder Shi laughed, "It's just a Heavenly Sword; we can bear it."

Elder Shi‑yi sneered, "A mere Heavenly Sword is not enough to frighten us."
