Chapter 496: Platinum Behemoth

Ten days of time flashed by in an instant; the Double Domain between Lingyun's hands slowly dissipated, and the last trace of the rioting Demon Qi had just been thoroughly purified by the Double Domain.

Xuanying looked at Lingyun, whose expression was as usual, and was filled with admiration. One had to know that outputting Battle Qi continuously for ten days without sleep or rest was not something an ordinary person could endure. Moreover, ordinary people did not possess such a massive quantity of Battle Qi within their bodies; even the six Elders present were only able to hold on by relying on the powerful foundations they had accumulated over the years.

"Hum—" The Dark Holy Sword, its Demon Qi completely suppressed, suddenly let out a hum. The sword body abruptly pulled itself out of the giant rock and transformed into a black streak of light, landing before Lingyun.

"Great Elder, what is the situation?" Looking at the Dark Holy Sword that kept flying around Lingyun, Xuanying asked with some confusion.

"I had long heard that the Six Sacred Swords left behind by the Lingyun Mercenary Group all possessed extraordinary spirituality; seeing it now, it truly lives up to its reputation!" the Great Elder said with a sigh. "For the Sacred Sword to be so excited, it is likely because it has seen a descendant of the Lingyun Mercenary Group!"

Upon hearing this, the corners of Lingyun's mouth could not help but reveal a smile. This was not meeting the descendant of an old friend, but rather encountering its own master! Moreover, it seemed that because it had once been forcibly infused with a broken soul and had absorbed a portion of soul power, the spirituality of the Dark Holy Sword seemed to be a cut above that of the Wind Holy Sword.

Seeing the Dark Holy Sword, which no longer had a trace of Demon Qi, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the Dark Holy Sword, previously wrapped in massive Demon Qi, had always been a thorn in his side! This thing was like a ticking time bomb, and one never knew when it might explode.

"What, you are leaving?" Xuanying looked at Lingyun before him with an expression of astonishment.

After recuperating for a day in the territory of the Meiling Tribe, Lingyun had proposed his departure to Xuanying.

"After all, Chen Jing and the other two are still in the Morning Light Forest, and this Continent may soon be in chaos; I must make preparations in advance. By the way, you of the Meiling Tribe had best be careful as well; this incident might just drag you in too." Lingyun looked at the sky and said.

"I understand." Xuanying felt a tightening in his heart, then said with a serious expression.

"Then, there is no need to see me off!" Lingyun turned around and said.

"Hum—" Two streaks of light, one cyan and one black, came galloping from the distance toward Lingyun's direction.

Lingyun leaped up and landed on the cyan light. The black light circled his body once, then landed behind Lingyun, transforming into a Long sword.

Standing on the Wind Holy Sword, Lingyun cupped his hands toward Xuanying, and then, together with the Wind Holy Sword, transformed into a streak of light and flew off toward the distance.

In a dense forest, a small team of personnel was fleeing rapidly.

Judging from the aura on these people, this small team of only five members were all Sanctuary Powerhouses.

"Wah, wah, Leng Mian, haven't you finished your preparations over there yet? The things we left behind won't be able to hold that guy for long!" the man in the middle of the sprint roared loudly while clutching a communication Crystal.

"Apologies, and I think you all are in dire straits this time!" A cold voice came from not far away.

Amidst the words, a black shadow lunged toward them. The man had just wanted to strike out to blast away the incoming figure, but a premonition of disaster suddenly rose in his heart; the power in his hand instantly transformed into a soft force, catching the lunging figure in his arms.

"Leng Mian, what happened to you?" Looking at the person he had caught, the man's expression changed drastically.

Originally, Leng Mian should have been in the distance using a Space Array to receive them for their withdrawal, but now Leng Mian had appeared before them, and furthermore, a huge wound had appeared on his abdomen, where one could faintly see the internal organs within.

"I already said, you are in dire straits today!" A tall figure stepped out from the jungle; the terrifying aura on his body made all six people present feel a sense of suffocation.

"Be careful, the opponent is a Platinum Behemoth of the Orc Race, a super powerhouse who has stepped into the Heavenly Domain!" Leng Mian could not help but spit out another mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Platinum Behemoth?" The expressions of everyone present changed drastically.

The Behemoth race was inherently the existence with the strongest individual combat power among the Orc Race. A Platinum Behemoth that had stepped into the Heavenly Domain, relying on its powerful physical body and terrifying strength, could even fight multiple Human powerhouses of the same rank without falling behind. And among these six, the strongest was only Leng Mian, who had just stepped into the Half-step Heaven Realm, not to mention that Leng Mian had already been heavily wounded by the Platinum Behemoth and had basically lost his combat capability.

"Damn it, to think that the intelligence for this mission had such a huge loophole; wasn't it said that the strongest existence in the mission was just that Half-step Heaven Realm we trapped?" the man acting as captain gritted his teeth and thought in his heart.

Facing the Platinum Behemoth whose strength completely crushed them, unless Leng Mian had not been heavily wounded and had simultaneously activated the Space Array to receive them from afar, they had no chance of turning the tables. But in Leng Mian's current state, whether he could even construct a Space Array was a big question.

The near-unconscious Leng Mian's fingers quietly traced a few marks in the man's palm; this was their secret signal, indicating that the intelligence had already been transmitted and their mission had succeeded.

After receiving the signal, the man also let out a soft breath in his heart; having the information transmitted was a good thing, and what followed was to find a way to escape from the hands of this terrifying Behemoth. Although this possibility was infinitely close to zero, if he didn't give it a try, he would always feel unwilling.

"Go to hell!" The Platinum Behemoth seemed to have no intention of wasting words with them; a Platinum-colored Light Ball suddenly appeared in his hand.

Although they were far away, the six men could still feel the terrifying power within the Light Ball; if they were hit by this, it would definitely result in them being left without even a corpse.

"Yin—" Just as the six were in despair, a sword hum suddenly rang out in the sky; countless sword lights bombarded down from the sky, instantly submerging the figure of the Platinum Behemoth.

Following this, a violent explosion sounded, and the terrifying shockwave instantly blasted all the sword shadows into fragments. It turned out that among these countless sword shadows, one had quietly struck the light cluster in the Platinum Behemoth's hand, detonating it completely.

Just as the six were astonished at this sudden change, silver patterns suddenly appeared beneath their feet. These patterns quickly intertwined, forming an Array. A burst of silver light suddenly rose from the Array, enveloping the six of them.

After the light vanished, the six people present had already disappeared without a trace; cracks suddenly appeared on the Array on the ground, and then it crumbled into specks of light and vanished.

"Boom—" A terrifying blast of air erupted from the center of the explosion, instantly destroying everything in the surroundings, and a huge figure suddenly rushed out from the center of the blast.

That figure had already recovered its Behemoth form, but many scorched marks had appeared on the Platinum-colored long fur on its body. These marks were not caused by the sword shadows, but by the self-detonation of the energy cluster in its hand.

When it saw the empty ground before it, it could not help but let out an angry roar: "Who is it, who exactly is it that dares to go against our Orc Race?"

Massive power swept out wildly from its body, uprooting all the trees within several hundred meters of the surroundings and turning them into ashes.

But no matter how this Platinum Behemoth roared, those six had already been transferred away by the effect of the Space Array to who knows how far; it was simply not something he could track down for the time being.
