Chapter 1457

Damn it! These traitors! They actually dared to target me!

Earth Sword Marquis was furious beyond restraint.

The Zheng Family people, who worship the Eternal Longevity Ancestor, although human, are to them an outright mortal enemy.

Die!

After the Earth Sword Marquis had just spoken with the Black Abyss Elder, he was already seething with rage; seeing these traitors approach, his killing intent instantly became unstoppable.

With a thought, he was about to unleash terrifying sword intent, but at that moment, a strange, grating laugh rose up.

"Earth Sword Marquis, humans have an old saying: 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' These people want to refine Sword Intent Gu; how could I let you strike and kill them? Hahahaha!"

The Black Abyss Elder burst into laughter, and despite the endless distance, he forcibly struck out at the Earth Sword Marquis.

These past few days, because the Longevity Sect was willing to refine gu, his seal had loosened a bit, and a long-lost sense of ease welled up in his heart.

Hiss!

Above the ruins of the Earth Sword Marquis Manor, a terrifying sword intent suddenly blazed forth.

That is the power of the Dao Actuality Realm!

In an instant, wind and clouds surged above the heavens; this sword aura was too terrifying—before it was fully unleashed, merely its presence could rend heaven and earth; Ling Han's sword light illuminated a hundred million li of land, like an immortal sun, like an ancient river.

In an instant, the Zheng Family people were directly suppressed in place, not even daring to breathe.

"What's the situation?"

Here there actually remains an ancient sword cultivator powerhouse who hasn't perished!

Their strongest person is only at the Four-Star Dao Lord Realm; under the pressure of the Dao Actuality Realm, they don't even qualify to move.

Suffocation, the aura of death spread over!

"What do we do, Senior Brother Zheng Yuan?" everyone cried out.

This time, as they entered the Ancient Star Mine, the Longevity Sect's Elder Mo Gu actually gave them a trump card to deal with the sword cultivators inside.

After all, their goal is to make these ancient sword cultivators submit.

But that trump card is in the hands of Chang Cheng of the Longevity Sect.

Who would have thought they'd accidentally run into an ancient sword cultivator of the Dao Actuality Realm!

Zheng Yuan's face went pale, his scalp tingled; he couldn't move either. With his divine sense he saw on the ruined wreckage above a broken plaque, engraved with four large characters: 'Earth Sword Marquis Manor!'

"We shouldn't have come here!" Zheng Yuan closed his eyes.

Looks like they're going to die here!

This is the Earth Sword Marquis Manor!

These past few days, while refining gu, they also learned from some relics that this world is a Sword Dynasty, with the Flame Light Sword Emperor enthroned and the Three Great Sword Marquises assisting.

Never would they have imagined they'd set foot here.

"Senior Brother Zheng Yuan, quickly think of a solution!" everyone shouted.

Zheng Yuan had already given up resisting: "What else can we do? We can only die."

Everyone: "……"

But suddenly, an incredibly terrifying strange power spanned the endless distance, surged over, and directly suppressed this sword aura.

Boom!

This is an boundless Abyssal Anomaly!

In an instant, the terrifying sword-path pressure on Zheng Yuan and the others was dispelled; they all felt relieved, their bodies soaked with sweat, as if they'd just walked out of the Gates of Hell, looking up with palpitations.

"This is a strong one of the Strange Clan of the Abyssal Lineage making a move!"

Zheng Yuan cried out in alarm.

This Abyssal Anomaly stretched across heaven and earth, endless and boundless, its profound strange power turning into a torrent that surged within the abyss; inside the abyss countless phantoms darted at extreme speed, like chaos gods and demons, their forms immensely huge.

Zheng Yuan and the others were utterly shocked; just a glance made them feel their bodies would burst apart.

"Is it actually a strong one of the Strange Clan helping us?" someone from the Zheng Family wondered, bewildered.

Zheng Yuan also stared, dumbfounded.

"Boom—rumble! Boom—rumble!"

That sword aura ultimately still slashed out, incredibly splendid, carrying endless flames that scorched the heavens, but was instantly blocked by the Abyssal Anomaly.

The two terrifying forces collided, like mountains collapsing and seas overturning, shaking the heavens.

Areas spanning millions of li trembled, as if the heavens were tilting.

The blazing fiery sword aura and the rich black strange Dao resonance constantly intertwined; the myriad phantoms within the abyss continually vanished, and likewise the sword aura grew weak.

This tremor lasted for over a hundred breaths.

Only then did heaven and earth grow calm!

The Black Abyss Elder coldly said, "Earth Sword Marquis, since you refuse to compromise, then you all must die!"

Know that his strength surpasses that of the Three Great Sword Marquises!

The reason they can suppress him is the Three Great Domains' terrifying sword formation, and the Spirit Sword left behind by the Flame Light Sword Emperor.

That spirit sword bears the lifetime sword Dao foundation of the Flame Light Sword Emperor!

He now only needs to wait.

The more the seal of that sword formation is broken, the stronger his combat power becomes.

Earth Sword Marquis let out a cold laugh, "Just now, to stop me, you must have expended quite a bit, huh?"

Black Abyss Elder gave a grim chuckle, "So what? I am willing."

"Human junior, quickly refine gu!"

The voice of the Black Abyss Elder came into the ears of Zheng Yuan and the others, like a great bell ringing, shaking the deaf and awakening the dumb.

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan and the others hurriedly flew down from the cloud vessel and began to set up the great gu-refining formation.

The grounds of the Earth Sword Marquis Mansion command a territory of millions of li; here skeletons litter the ground, palaces lie in ruins, the mountains and rivers contained within are also destroyed, the earth is riddled with countless wounds, everywhere are sword marks, and there are also traces of bombardment by strange power.

A sight of utter desolation!

Zheng Yuan and the others all sacrificed their formation insects.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

One after another, the insects emitted brilliant Divine Light; at first they resembled glow-worms, then they burst forth with Divine Light, sparkling like stars.

These formation insects were activated and began to weave Dao patterns on their own.

Innumerable formation patterns surged up, thick and dense, falling like a great net upon the grounds of the Earth Sword Marquis Mansion; the rich insect aura poured forth like a vast ocean.

"Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Mountain, Marsh!"

Between heaven and earth, numerous intricate and obscure formation diagrams appeared.

Zheng Yuan suddenly realized, 'It turns out that the powerful expert of the strange tribe wants us to refine insects, seize sword intent, and counterbalance the Sword Dynasty!'

The Earth Sword Marquis made a swift decision; he wanted to exterminate these Zheng family traitors, so he first had to suppress Elder Heiyuan, not allowing him to act again!

"Attack together, suppress this wretch!"

The Earth Sword Marquis spoke, letting the Profound Sword Marquis and the Heavenly Sword Marquis also join the attack.

"Good!"

Within the three apparitions, hand seals continually shifted; terrifying power descended upon the central spot, seeking to reseal the Black Abyss Ancestor once more.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the abyss.

Yang Xuan slowly opened his eyes, 'Thank you, Master.'

The life-and-death sword intent on his body became even more terrifying!

Lu Xuan nodded, withdrawing his gaze from the direction of the Earth Sword Marquis Mansion, 'Not bad, not bad. Next I will take you to the Earth Sword Marquis Mansion to directly draw upon its sword rhythm.'

Just now he had been resting, but the fluctuations from the Earth Sword Marquis Mansion were too terrifying.

He, through the Insight Eye, quickly discovered the situation there.

Yang Xuan nodded and came to Lu Xuan's side.

"Hiss!"

With a thought, Lu Xuan activated the Heaven-Reaching Spatial Formation Patterns; the two vanished from the spot, and when they reappeared, Lu Xuan had already descended into the subterranean world of the Earth Sword Marquis Mansion.

There, the Earth Sword Marquis Mansion was activating a spiritual technique.

Lu Xuan's mouth curled slightly, 'It seems you need a little help.'
