Chapter 996: Is the Azure Abyss Army awesome?

How is the Gu Clan capturing humans?

Above the Void, those few Gu Clan members loomed high, as if they were the masters of this heaven and earth.

Seeing Yang Xuan and his companion motionless, several Gu Clan members rushed over.

Yang Xuan suddenly moved.

Swish!

In his hand, the Qingxuan Sword shot out directly, turning into a bolt of lightning.

A Gu Clan man's head was directly sliced off and flew away!

Instant kill!

The others were instantly stunned.

The Qingxuan Sword's speed was extremely fast!

Swish swish swish swish!

Fresh blood splattered!

Only one Gu Clan man remained in the field, his face deathly pale.

Yang Xuan said lightly, "I ask, you answer."

Yes, yes.

The Gu Clan man's face was full of fear, nodding repeatedly.

Yang Xuan asked, "What are you capturing these people for?"

The Gu Clan man replied, "To refine Gu beasts."

Yang Xuan furrowed his brows.

The Gu Clan man hurriedly explained, "This is permitted by the Azure Abyss Emperor! Moreover, we are not killing them all; some are responsible for operating our Gu Beast Grand Formation, while the rest will be thrown into the formation to be exterminated."

Refining humans into Gu!

In his view, this was already the greatest leniency toward humanity.

At that moment, Yang Ling'er stepped forth, divine splendor flower petals blossoming beneath her feet, and said, "The Gu beast aura in this heaven and earth is thick; it seems Huang Zheng has indulged them, letting them become the Gu Clan's domain."

Yang Xuan's divine sense swept across the surrounding starry sky, and Gu beast aura existed on many stars.

Humans have fallen to the lowest rank among all beings!

The Gu Clan man's body trembled as he asked, "Are you members of the Heaven-Burying Alliance?"

Yang Xuan said nothing.

The answer was a strand of sword light from the Qingxuan Sword.

After a moment, Lu Xuan came before the imprisoned humans and struck with a sword!

Swish!

Directly shattering the Gu beast seal upon it.

Plop!

Plop!

Everyone knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Their cultivation was no more than the Low Star Sovereign Realm, or perhaps the God Sovereign Realm.

Seniors, you must flee quickly. This expanse of starry sky has already been occupied by the Gu Clan; all beings and all stars will be refined into Gu beasts to become their nourishment.

Indeed. Though you seniors are strong, the Gu Clan has even more powerful experts.

I don't know why, but lately the Gu Clan has been increasing in number and becoming ever more arrogant.

Yang Xuan furrowed his brows.

It must be, as Zhang Liao said, that the Lord of Azure Abyss Heaven, Huang Zheng, and the Gu Clan, together with the Ghost Palace, have reached some agreement; they have monitored many Gu Clan and Ghost Clan individuals entering Azure Abyss Heaven to plunder the starry sky.

If the stars are refined, the power of the World Tree is seized, which amounts to a covert weakening of Everlasting Heaven!

A hint of gravity appeared in Yang Ling'er's beautiful eyes: "We need to find the Mark's Land as soon as possible; our time is short."

The Ghost Palace and the Gu Clan would love to immediately destroy the World Tree.

As Huang Zheng increasingly sides with the Ghost Palace and the Gu Clan, Azure Abyss Heaven is destined to be partitioned.

Yang Xuan looked at the crowd and said, "You may go."

The crowd again kowtowed in the void, then said, "Seniors, you are good people; please bring the Heaven-Burying Alliance members and quickly leave this starry sky. It is said they intend to refine this entire starry sky."

Yang Xuan nodded.

These people regarded them as members of the Heaven-Burying Alliance.

Not long after.

Yang Ling'er took out a starry sky map; the two determined the approximate location of the World Tree Dao Patterns mark, then directly tore through the void and emerged.

Azure Abyss Heaven, Southern Region.

Boom!

Crack!

The void rended, space twisted!

Xiao Liang and Xiaoyaozi walked out from the spatial rift.

Xiaoyaozi took out an ancient green jade slip, investigated, and confirmed the direction of the Dao Patterns they sought.

Over there!

Xiao Liang pointed.

The two immediately headed in that direction.

Xiaoyaozi frowned slightly, "The sword qi here is becoming increasingly dense."

Xiao A Liang closed his eyes, "Xiaoyaozi, this sword rhythm seems somewhat similar to your sword way."

Xiaoyaozi sensed for a moment, then said just two words, "Swift Wind."

That sword qi, like a swift wind, flickered elusive in the heavens and earth.

Like the wind, free.

Also like the wind, it howls and runs rampant.

Their feelings differed somewhat.

Several days later.

They descended near the Great Tomb of the Swift Wind Sword Venerable.

This is a collapsed star, a mysterious black hole devouring the surrounding stellar power.

And the sword qi shoots out from within that black hole.

Many Questioning Dao Realm experts have already gathered in the surrounding starry sky.

Xiao A Liang held a grass stalk in his mouth, scouting the surroundings, "The strongest here are five-star Questioning Dao Realm and six-star Questioning Dao Realm. They seem intent on contending for this place's sword dao opportunity."

Xiaoyaozi nodded, "Let's first confirm whether this place is that crucial Dao pattern site."

They inquired of nearby fellow cultivators and learned this is a grand tomb of a Dao Origin Realm sword cultivator.

Swift Wind Sword Venerable, Gongyang Yuxiao!

But further confirmation is still needed from the "Dao Trend."

The Spirit Martial Emperor once laid down this Dao pattern; after endless ages it evolved into a star, which later collapsed, and Gongyang Yuxiao selected it as the site for his grand tomb.

During that period, it underwent tremendous changes.

Only by examining both the Dao and the Trend can it be determined.

Xiaoyaozi whispered, "There are a few Azure Abyss Army troops guarding the perimeter; to enter and observe the Heavenly Trend, we must kill them."

Xiao A Liang nodded, "Kill!"

A faint excitement flickered in his eyes.

After entering the Upper Realm, his frost blade has yet to taste blood!

Spiritual Sword "Wine Devotee"!

This spiritual sword was forged by Lu Xuan refining and smelting the Sword Qi Great Wall back then.

From when A Liang built the Sword Qi Great Wall to becoming his spiritual sword, it can be seen as having a beginning and an end.

Xiao A Liang drew his spiritual sword.

Xiaoyaozi's eyes reflected a brilliant cold gleam as he said, "This sword can be called extraordinary."

Xiao A Liang said, "Not bad. Since entering the Upper Realm, the Wine Devotee has been absorbing human obsessions from heaven and earth, and it is undergoing transformation."

This is a spiritual sword capable of self-growth!

Xiaoyaozi said, "After passing through the hands of Venerable Lord Lu, this sword has become incredibly miraculous."

Xiao A Liang smiled, "Indeed so."

Not long after.

The two directly concealed their forms and shot forth silently toward the Azure Abyss Army's garrison.

A black-armored man, somewhat fatigued, looked at the other guard beside him and said, "It'll be the same as usual; if we want to enter the grand tomb, do we have to collect Dao Source Stones?"

The other corpulent guard yawned, "That's only natural. We'll take the Dao Source Fruit and Gongyang Yuxiao's inheritance; the rest, let them fight over."

The black-armored man was about to speak when suddenly a chill icy wind swept past.

"Chi!"

His hairs stood on end, just as he was about to unleash his spiritual weapon, a sword qi shot forth.

His head flew straight off!

"Instant kill!"

The corpulent guard's face filled with shock as blood spattered across his face; he roared, "Who dares to kill my Azure Abyss Army?"

A plain-clothed man wearing straw sandals appeared before him, lightly spitting out the grass stalk from his mouth, "Is the Azure Abyss Army really that impressive?"
