Chapter 1448: What's a surprise?

Xuanji Holy Lord recognized him; that black dragon is indeed one of the Abyss Lineage's monsters.

Three-Star Dao Lord Realm cultivation.

He is close with other monsters, such as Night Owl and the like.

During this time she stayed at the Abyss Lineage's garrison, also receiving invitations to discuss the Dao from the black dragon, Night Owl, and others, but she paid no heed.

With her master present, why would she need to discuss the Dao with others?

A single word from her master is worth more than a hundred thousand years!

Outside the Secluded Valley.

"Boom—boom—boom!"

The black dragon fled with a dozen or so Deceitful Clansmen; wherever he went, Deceitful Power surged, evolving into a vast Abyssal Phenomenon that spanned heaven and earth like a grand canal, the rich Deceitful Expectation shrouding his figure within it.

But the sword cultivator behind unleashed sword qi too fierce, obliterating much of the surging Deceitful Dao Resonance, causing the black dragon and others' forms to be repeatedly exposed.

"Hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss!"

Among the sword cultivators chasing them are several at the Three-Star Dao Lord Realm; with the boost of Sword Intent Gu, their sword intent surpasses that of the black dragon.

"Pfft!"

The black dragon spat a mouthful of essence blood, but could only continue fleeing with the others.

Behind him, a dozen or so sword cultivator disciples grew more frenzied the more they pursued.

"Truly a pack of bereaved dogs!"

"Hahaha! If you were outside the Stellar Sky Ancient Mine, keeping a low profile would actually be no big deal, but you've leapt too high!"

"Ever since that Ming killed many of us, you've become even more outrageous!"

"Today you shall all die here!"

The leading sword cultivator struck again; his sword qi like a rainbow, destroying myriad directions, directly annihilating that Abyssal Phenomenon.

"Senior Brother Liu Wei is mighty!"

"Senior Brother Liu Wei is mighty!"

The other disciples shouted in unison.

Seeing this, Leader Mo Li's face turned ferocious, even letting out a scornful laugh: "Hahaha… My Deceitful Clan is actually being hunted everywhere by human sword cultivators? This is utter disgrace! In my era, humans were mere reptiles; even the Gu Clan would tremble before us, treading on thin ice, let alone the forces under the Eternal Life Sect."

"And yet you call us bereaved dogs—utter nonsense!"

He laughed in anger.

These few Deceitful Clansmen may be weak, but humans actually have this dog's gall?

This overturned his understanding!

"What are you doing? The Abyss Lineage has long cooperated with the Eternal Life Sect—are you seeking death?"

As the distance to the Ascending Cloud Sword Sect drew near, the black dragon roared.

Liu Wei brandished a spirit sword, his burly frame shaking his robe, sword intent twining about, a teasing smile on his face: "Even if you all die here, what then?"

The black dragon clutched his chest, a storage ring appearing in his hand: "Why bother? This is a small star mine we just seized—take it all!"

"Liu Wei snorted coldly: 'Hand over the others' as well!"

Hearing this, the black dragon felt a pang of shame, yet he turned to the others: "Hand over your storage rings too, give them to them!"

The other Deceitful Clansmen gritted their teeth and still produced their storage rings.

"Throw them out!"

Liu Wei took the storage rings, casually probed them with his divine sense, then flashed a hint of mockery: "Fine, now we'll take your lives!"

"The black dragon, furious, shouted: 'You damned dogs! I've given you the storage rings!'"

"Form the sword formation!"

Liu Wei sneered, thrust his spirit sword into the void, directly activating the Ascending Cloud Sword Manual; the other sword cultivator disciples shot forth like lightning, coiling around Liu Wei.

Their spirit swords all hummed, sword intent surged, and a resonance appeared in the sword intent on their bodies.

"Hiss—hiss—hiss—hiss!"

Hundreds of sword qi were slashed out, evolving into a chilling sword diagram that directly sealed off the heaven and earth where the black dragon and others stood.

"Could it be that we're about to die?"

The black dragon's face turned ferocious.

At this moment, Leader Mo Li was still seizing the Deceitful Dao Resonance, watching the black dragon and others' performance and shaking his head: "Even though they are Three-Star Dao Lord Realm, they've been reduced to this! Moreover, they've grown fearful, actually being robbed by a few human sword cultivator ants—utter disgrace. Ming, they fall far short of you."

Although Ming's cultivation is only Seven-Star Dao Void Realm, she knows how to borrow power within the Secluded Valley.

Such profound Deceitful Dao Resonance already surpasses the One-Star Dao Lord Realm.

He examined the battle traces here, knowing that Ming had borrowed power to wipe out a dozen or so Ascending Cloud Sword Sect members, even including a Two-Star Dao Lord Realm cultivator.

Compared to her, in temperament, bloodline, or wisdom, they fall immeasurably short of Ming!

Still, seeing that these are ultimately his own Abyss Lineage people, he sighed and threw out an ancient, damaged token: "Ming, take my subordinates and rescue these people."

"Sizzle!"

A token appeared before Xuanji Holy Lord, square in shape, bearing a "Mo" character, but after years of erosion it has become somewhat blotchy, missing a corner.

"Hold this token, and you may command all my subordinates. From now on, take charge of them."

From Mo Li's eyes shot two dim lights.

He has already acknowledged Xuanji Holy Lord.

Whether it is he or his many subordinates, they are already remnants of souls, surviving thus far by relying on Deceitful Power, but will ultimately perish.

Yet Ming's talent and bloodline are heaven-defying; she is destined to be a rising new star!

He intends to bring Ming to the central land of the Three Directions Great Region to seek the Black Abyss Elder; Ming will surely gain his approval.

Xuanji Holy Lord received the ancient token with her jade hand; a thought stirred, activating the spirit technique transmitted by Mo Li.

Instant refinement!

As the Xuanji Holy Lord infused a strand of Dao Resonance into the token, instantly, from the depths of the Secluded Valley, countless strange phantoms burst out of the rock walls.

One after another!

There were actually hundreds of them!

The strongest few of these phantoms were actually at the Four-Star Dao Lord realm, but unlike Mo Li, they had all lost their consciousness, retaining only an instinct, driven by the token.

All these strange phantoms stood tall in formation, falling not far from the Xuanji Holy Lord.

Now they completely obey the Xuanji Holy Lord's commands!

The Xuanji Holy Lord tilted her snow-white neck slightly, nodded, her jade feet fluttering, she shot straight up into the sky, while these strange phantoms turned into chilling afterimages, densely packed.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Above the Secluded Valley, Liu Wei and the others, using the might of the sword formation, continually compressed the sealed area, tightly forcing Black Dragon and the others into an ever-shrinking space.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Black Dragon and the others kept spitting out black blood.

Liu Wei gave a cold smile, 'Rest assured, you won't be alone. Others will die too!'

At that moment, the Xuanji Holy Lord, clad in a purple robe, her posture ethereal, her white hair extending three thousand zhang, flew straight out of the Secluded Valley, standing tall Above the Void, looking down.

Liu Wei and the others were slightly stunned, stared at the Xuanji Holy Lord for a few moments, then burst into loud laughter, 'Hahaha! Isn't this Ming?'

Other sword cultivator disciples revealed feral grins, 'What's a surprise? What's a fucking surprise?'
