Chapter 260: How Could You Possibly Have This Sword Talisman

What Zhao Qian said was not alarmist talk.

The Yaoshou Senlin side must know that today is the selection for the students of the two great Academies; the two great Academies have Law Enforcement Teams patrolling, with the Deans holding the line.

They must have prepared countermeasures in advance.

If that is truly the case, the moment they entered the forest, didn't they walk into a cage designed by others, being penned up like piglets to be slaughtered?

Everyone gasped in unison.

Zhao Qian's words pointed to the worst-case scenario, and upon careful deliberation, the facts were indeed so.

Whoosh!

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath: "That is indeed the case!"

"I originally did not want to tell you the worst outcome, fearing you would not be able to bear it and would collapse first."

He had indeed known of this result long ago.

However, seeing that these people were struggling to deal with the demonic beasts, he feared that speaking it out would affect their state of mind.

With hearts full of panic, it was possible that these people would completely lose their fighting spirit.

After all, they were usually raised as treasures by their families and had never experienced many life-and-death crises.

Now, suddenly facing a desperate situation, it was very likely they would be crushed into a collapse.

"Ah—"

Xing Jiangyi screamed, his whole body trembling: "Doesn't that mean we have entered a dead-end situation?"

"They must be observing our every move right now; no matter where we go, we will be discovered. What is the point of us hiding?"

His complexion was already poor, and at this moment, his face was ashen, looking extremely ugly.

Ben Jieming, however, gave a disdainful sneer: "We sword cultivators should defy the heavens; if gods block us, we slash the gods, if Buddhas block us, we slash the Buddhas. Why fear life or death!"

"You are the senior brother of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect, yet you are cowardly before the battle! It is one thing that you don't boost our morale, but you are also inciting panic!"

"You truly disappoint me!"

Although the other five disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect did not speak, the looks they cast at Xing Jiangyi were filled with deep disdain.

Clearly, they all stood on Ben Jieming's side and were extremely dissatisfied with Xing Jiangyi.

Murong Xue also said coldly: "Xing Jiangyi, look at Young Master Lu; he knows the situation is severe and is thinking of ways to solve the problem!"

"And you, you are just thinking about waiting for death. How could you become the senior brother of our Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

How could Xing Jiangyi be convinced: "Isn't it true?"

"With the little strength we have, we aren't even enough to fill the gaps in their teeth. Even if Young Master Lu has a Tribulation Transcendence Stage Spirit Sealing Talisman, it's useless; it can only be used once."

"If there is a chance, we should still discuss it with them; we still have many uses. We can..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Lu Tianyu's cold voice: "Enough!"

"If it weren't for the sake of Senior Jian Wuya, I would have already killed you!"

"Those willing to leave, follow me; those who aren't, go surrender yourself and see if they will accept your surrender!"

"Shangguan Yu'er, please remove the formation; we are setting off immediately!"

"Ben Jieming, you control the sword formation to clear the path in front; Shangguan Yu'er, I must trouble you to control the Mechanism Puppet to cover the rear."

"The rest of you, be ready to strike at any time to assist them and handle sudden situations!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone responded immediately: "Yes!"

They completely left Xing Jiangyi aside, ignoring him entirely.

Xing Jiangyi snorted coldly, his eyeballs rolling as he pondered what to do next.

Just then, Murong Xue's telepathic message rang in Lu Tianyu's mind: "Young Master Lu, rest assured, I will keep an eye on him. If he dares to act recklessly, I will be the first one not to let him off."

She was referring to Xing Jiangyi, fearing he would ruin things at a critical moment.

Lu Tianyu responded immediately: "That would be excellent!"

He was just afraid that Xing Jiangyi would make some small moves later, as that would cause huge trouble.

The moment the formation was removed, everyone became tense and held their breath.

Once they discovered something was wrong, they would strike immediately.

They had drunk the potion Lu Tianyu gave them, but they didn't know how effective it was.

Facts proved they were overthinking.

The moment the formation was removed, except for the half-beasts, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of those demonic beasts, and countless pairs of eyes stared at the group, trying to distinguish something.

Finally, they found nothing and turned to leave.

But the remaining half-beasts still numbered over a hundred.

They did not speak, but their eyes were filled with bloodthirsty and greedy gazes, just like hungry wolves seeing a group of plump, tender lambs, and they were even drooling.

Killing one person earns ten points, and one can also fill their stomach; this is a great thing.

Although there were many demonic beasts here, they dared not strike rashly.

These demonic beasts had connections with each other; striking rashly would attract attacks from other demonic beasts, which would be more trouble than it was worth.

Hunting the people from Changheng Academy had instead become the best choice.

Xing Jiangyi screamed: "Not good! Shangguan Yu'er, quickly restart the formation; they are going to attack us, and we have few people!"

"Quick, quick, quick!"

He was shivering and extremely panicked.

Just then, a loud, clear sword hum rang out.

Xing Jiangyi looked back and saw Lu Tianyu holding one hand high, with a Sword Talisman in his hand that possessed a powerful aura, more than ten times stronger than the Sword Talisman his family had bestowed upon him.

He exclaimed in shock: "This is a Void Piercing Stage Sword Talisman, it's from Uncle-Master Jian Wuya; how could you possibly have this Sword Talisman!"

He had just thought that Lu Tianyu's claim of doing it for the sake of Jian Wuya was a lie; how could Jian Wuya possibly give a Sword Talisman to someone outside the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

But now it seems it is true.

Lu Tianyu has gained the appreciation of Jian Wuya; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to condense a Sword Talisman for Lu Tianyu.

Lu Tianyu could not be bothered to pay him any mind and shouted toward the rear: "This is a Sword Talisman condensed by a cultivator at the Void Piercing Peak Stage!"

"If you are not afraid of death, then charge up here and see how many of you one hundred people can survive!"

As he said this, he waved his hand: "Let's go!"

Feeling that immense aura and the sharp Sword Intent, the half-beasts were immediately so frightened that they trembled, involuntarily retreating two zhang.

However, they did not leave just like that; they slowly followed behind, calculating how to deal with him.

Just at this moment, a whistling sound of something piercing through the air rang out.

Two black sword Qi beams struck the head of a half-beast, and this person met his end before he could even react.

The main reason was that he had not expected anyone to actually attack him.

The two half-beasts standing to his left and right had their expressions change drastically.

One of them said gravely: "This brat's sword Qi is very strange; the main thing is that the speed is too fast!"

"Everyone, pay attention to protecting your vital parts; do not let him sneak attack you!"

Another ox-headed half-beast said coldly: "This person is so hard to chew on, he must be a core student of the Changheng Academy; the rewards we get for killing him will definitely be high!"

"He does not dare to meet us head-on and is quietly retreating, which shows he does not have many trump cards left; as long as we are careful, it will be fine."

Just at this moment, a muffled voice rang out: "I have a way to deal with him!"
