Chapter 108: Kill!
This line,
Three thousand Azure Abyss Sect disciples prepared high-grade defensive spiritual treasures; all disciples were equipped with spiritual weapons, and at the same time, these disciples' natal magical artifacts were all primarily bows.
Furthermore, they had put away any contempt for the Thunderfire Talisman.
Once they discovered Su Chen's whereabouts, they would show no mercy and strike to kill immediately.
Whoosh—
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh……
A huge spiritual vessel sailed across the distant firmament.
Finally, they arrived.
Su Chen was surrounded in the center by the Yunhai City disciples who brought out their natal magical artifacts.
His expression was stern, and the aura he unconsciously emanated was instantly sensed by the Honorary Senior Brother hiding in the formation's eye as he approached.
Black Dog followed close behind Su Chen, solemnly spreading out his divine sense.
He sensed an unusual aura in the void ahead.
Then he said to Su Chen, "Young Master, there seems to be a formation fluctuation in the void ahead; perhaps someone has set up a formation? Why not let my subordinate go scout first?"
Su Chen stood on the spiritual vessel, facing the wind, his black hair flying and his robes fluttering.
The Honorary Senior Brother hidden in the formation far away inexplicably felt a bad premonition and furrowed his brow.
"Why go through all this trouble? We can scout right here." Su Chen had Black Dog stay put, then took out an eyeball from his storage ring; although it was a dead object, the moment he drew it out, a surge of chaotic qi spread out.
Then,
They then saw with their own eyes.
The Young Master picked up this eyeball and looked through it toward the distant void.
The disciples looked at each other: "?"
Black Dog also wore a puzzled expression: "?"
"Young Master, what did you see?" Black Dog gazed at Su Chen with a somewhat complex expression.
After a while, Su Chen replied, "I saw that the void ahead indeed has a formation laid down; the leader appears to be an Azure Abyss Sect disciple, his expression grim, as if he's cursing us."
"This formation is an extremely rare high-grade spiritual-rank formation; its eye is firmly guarded, and hidden behind the killing formation are no fewer than three thousand disciples, all of whom have refined long-range bow-type spiritual weapons, each holding defensive magical treasures, presumably to resist the Thunderfire Talisman and self-destructing mystic weapons."
"They intend to trap us with the killing formation, wear us down in a wave, then suppress us with numbers and cultivation."
This, this this this isn't just a dead object?
Could it be a holy object left behind by a peerless martial artist after death?
Otherwise, how could an eyeball devoid of any life force possibly see clearly across a distance of hundreds of li?
Black Dog was shocked, glancing at the boundless, illusory void above the firmament.
He then glanced at the eyeball in Su Chen's hand that constantly emanated chaotic qi.
Other Heavenly Mystery Sect disciples opened their mouths, eyes filled with envy; a peerless expert's holy object left behind could actually let them see the void from hundreds of li away.
But, but how could a mere dead object emit boundless majestic pressure? What kind of heaven-defying fortune and opportunity would that require?
"Why wouldn't you believe it?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and handed over the eyeball:
"Take a look for yourself."
"This is a Double Pupil; it was left behind by a Double Pupil expert who reached the pinnacle and then died."
This was what Su Chen noticed when he tried to exchange for a shuttlecraft; unfortunately, it is a dead object and cannot unleash even one-tenth of its peak power.
Back then he wanted to exchange for it, but lacking sufficient clearance he couldn't see it; now he can exchange for it, which cost him tens of thousands of points.
Just thinking about it now makes his heart ache.
He would have to get intimate with Liu Liyan to earn the points back; unfortunately, he couldn't bring Liyan with him, so he wouldn't have to worry about points, and could……
Hiss!
"Really, really disciples of the Azure Abyss Divine Sect!"
"The Young Master and they are all hidden behind this sixth-level spiritual-rank formation; I can see their cultivation through the formation—it's him! It's him! That damned Azure Abyss Senior Brother, who originally joined the Heavenly Mystery Dao Sect and was regarded by the Sect Leader as a trusted confidant."
"He actually defected from his sect, then joined the Azure Abyss Divine Sect, and dares to ambush the Young Master!"
"What Azure Abyss Divine Sect Senior Brother? Let me take a look."
Upon hearing the Azure Abyss Sect Honorary Senior Brother, the disciples present felt their blood boil.
The scouts at the forefront hurriedly took the Double Pupil and gently placed it before their eyes.
In an instant.
Like opening a Martial Dao Heavenly Eye, it took in everything within hundreds of li.
In the boundless void beyond the formation lurked pairs of eyes radiating vicious killing intent and faces that inspired fear—three thousand cultivators intent on killing the Young Master.
The cultivator holding the Double Pupil had a flushed face; half from being able to see through the layers of killing formations the cultivation of the Azure Abyss Sect disciples, half from seeing those disciples surround and attack, filling him with indignation.
"Divine, truly divine!"
"Young Master, behind the formation are Azure Abyss Divine Sect disciples; I saw that their cultivation is mostly Martial Emperor, with many Martial Ancestors as well, and many of them hold defensive spiritual treasures; without the Double Pupil, we would likely have fallen to that scoundrel's scheme."
"Our Sect Leader was absolutely right; as long as the Young Master is here, every problem will be readily solved."
"Young Master, mighty!!"
After the cultivators' excited emotions settled, they gazed at Su Chen with admiration.
Just the previous Insight Stone and Enlightenment Tea were enough to stir up tumultuous waves in their hearts.
Now that they have a Double Pupil to scout the enemy's cultivation, it surpasses these disciples' comprehension; previously, who would believe that cultivators in this world could actually train to such a level?
Relying solely on a dead object, they can probe the enemy's cultivation and clearly see events hundreds of li away.
No! It cannot be said to be that simple to see clearly.
Even the grade of the treasure held by the Azure Abyss Honorary Senior Brother is known to them with perfect clarity.
They really deserve to die!
Senior Brother Qingming, narrowing his eyes, stared hard into the distance, taking in all the thousands of disciples at a glance.
They are hiding behind the formation, having all taken out their magical weapons, waiting for us to enter the killing formation, and then they will ambush us from outside.
At such a distance, with a spirit-rank formation protecting us and us cultivating the Turtle Breath Grand Method, no matter how strong their divine sense power is, they couldn't possibly detect us from hundreds of miles away; perhaps they think there's a spacetime turbulence ahead, so they're being overly cautious.
Besides this, Honorary Senior Brother, I can't think of any other reason; it's utterly impossible for Su Chen to have broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm and, from hundreds of miles away, sensed through the formation that they were hiding behind it, right?
The Honorary Senior Brother grimaced, clenching his back teeth, silently praying for Su Chen to come quickly.
It moved forward.
It moved forward.
The spirit vessel carrying hundreds of cultivators hovered in the air for a while.
Then they all sailed together, drawing the cultivators near.
Great, they've come.
Su Chen finally piloted this spirit vessel here.
Through divine sense power, we sensed that their numbers were indeed around three hundred; as soon as Su Chen's spirit vessel enters the killing formation, we must not give them time to pull out their talisman papers, and strive to kill them all before they can react.
