Chapter 680: One Against An Army

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“From today on all Taoist Cultivators under my rule will be wiped out, no one will be left alive!”

He was really firm, replying with just one short sentence to Wuji.

There would be no end to the Taoist Sect and him!

Not only was Wuji’s expression totally green. The 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry were all furious. Their eyes were red and popping out of their sockets as they stared right at Zong Shou.

No one could doubt whether Zong Shou would really go through with it.

He was a Ruler of a country with millions of Elite troops under him. Apart from there being less High-Grade troops, the rest were all the strongest in the Cloud World!

Zong Shou himself was someone who had no opponent under the Spirit Realm.

Even the True Martial Seven Part Formation couldn’t do anything to him. One could see his immense strength.

If he really wanted to chop off Daoling Vast Habitat, then no one would be able to stop him.

Wuji’s heart jumped, he was filled with fear and fury. However, they asked for it so there was no one whom they could blame.

However, it wasn’t like this situation couldn’t be saved…

He calmed himself down, a cold intent rose up by the center of his eyebrows.

“There is nothing I can do if the Ruler insists on it. However, I can’t sit still and not do anything either.”

Whilst speaking, he directed his sword, a shiny sword suddenly came out of its sheath and flew around him.

“I don’t know why the Ruler came here alone, only that you are too confident. Do you really think you can fight an army, and prevent us from leaving? If you die here, your dominance will fall…”

As long as Zong Shou died here, then even if Daoling Vast Habitat’s plan couldn’t succeed, they would be able to retreat safely from the east of the Cloud World.

Zong Shou laughed when he heard this. One fighting against an army? Why not?

He was too lazy to talk to him anymore and the Nameless Sword seemed to agree as it gave off a light buzz.

The sword intent which rose up around him became sharper and killing intent charged into the clouds.

Wuji just needed to look at his expression and he knew the reply. After taking in a deep breath, the violent intent and darkness which had been building up couldn’t be suppressed any longer.

He started to laugh. This Zong Shou was crazy! He is mad!

To fight 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry?

He really thought that he was the reappearance of the Xiang King, the reincarnation of the Ran King? That he was unrivaled in the world?

Forget it! Since he was so decisive and confident, then he would personally destroy this Eastern Overlord today!

The Qilin under him leaped up, their hooves flying into the air. He took out a Long Purple Spear. The Flying Sword protected his body and he pointed the Spear forward. A few protector beasts were like several spiritual shields as they blocked in front of him.

The 7,000 Cavalry behind him also followed suit.

Their spears stabbing forward, instantly turning into thousands of dots and stabbing right at Zong Shou who was 10,000 feet away.

Horse hooves rumbling like that of an iron current that could suppress everything.

The energies of 7,000 people were all connected to one another. A night glow exploded within Wuji’s eyes.

Even if there was a mountain in front of him, he would flatten it out!

Zong Shou squinted his eyes without much care and broke out into a laugh.

These 7,000 wave-like spear attacks were like a huge ocean-like intent suppressing him.

However, his sword intent didn’t back off at all and was unscathed.

Only when the spear shadow from Wuji’s spear reached 100 feet in front of him, did he move.

The sword flashing as a silver light thrust forward, causing the Purple Spear Shadow to be pushed back.

One Origin Yin!

In terms of exquisiteness, Dragon Shadow’s Nine Dragon Shadow Sword was the deepest.

He grasped it the most and was able to counter the enemy to win. Without a doubt it was his One Origin Sword!

Merging hundreds of types of sword intents into one was his goal. A large part of his life was spent on perfecting this sword technique which was why he was most familiar with it.

The Nine Dragon Shadow Sword also had a portion of its essence which was merged within.

This was why he had an unbreakable domain in a 100-foot radius!

He forced back Wuji’s Purple Spear and the Sword Shadow exploded outward. In an instant, it turned into thousands of shadows and covered the area 100 feet in front of him.

Either borrowing strength to counter or changing the direction, he didn’t need to take a single step back.

This 200-foot area was instantly filled with energy explosion noises.

Spiritual Light pierced and the entire space seemed like it was cut apart, even the ground was collapsing.

Numerous tragic cries from mounts sounded out in the 100-foot area in front of Zong Shou.

Many Xuan Flame Golden Qilin Beasts couldn’t take the pressure and fell down. Either that or they were fearful of the thousands of blades and weren’t willing to go forward.

Blood and flesh scattered, however, none of them came within 100 feet of Zong Shou!

The 7,000 Iron Cavalry were like a wave, but it was like they met a rock. The 100 at the front were unable to shake Zong Shou at all. The entire cavalry force could only shift around the sides of him.

They couldn’t get within 100 feet. What seemed like an unstoppable current was split into two.

Just at this moment, Zong Shou’s lips curled.

To go past his side? How was that possible!

…One Origin Yang!

Turning from defense to attack, thousands of swords started to spread out toward the sides.

Without exception, the cavalry who passed by his side either suffered heavy injuries to their chests or their necks were broken.

In just a moment, he was surrounded by corpses.

However, it didn’t stack up like a mountain and affect his vision.

Instead, the ground caved down and only the ground where Zong Shou stood was fine.

Hundreds of corpses filled up this deep hole.

The place where Zong Shou stood was even a little higher, giving one a feeling like he was standing on thousands of corpses.

The 7,000 Cavalry couldn’t enter and couldn’t go around. The formation was instantly in chaos. In the end, they split into two directions and turned back, reforming tens of thousands of feet away.

Zong Shou didn’t chase, standing rooted to the spot. Blood seeped from his lips but he wasn’t bothered by it.

Taking 7,000 Grade-6 Dao Soldiers head-on, it would be shocking if he was perfectly fine. He couldn’t hide it and didn’t need to hide it.

Holding the Nameless Sword in his hand, he tried his best to adjust the energy within his body.

His Soul Power was totally fine. With the Nameless Sword absorbing these hundreds of Grade-6 souls, the green flame in his Soul Ocean seemed like it was burning at its brightest!

It provided huge amounts of Soul Power that actually made him feel like it was too much.

Wuji was 10,000 miles away, looking coldly at Zong Shou with an ugly expression.

He really could fight against an army all by himself!

7,000 Iron Cavalry charged at him but were unable to shock him even a little!

At this moment, Zong Shou was holding his sword, calmly standing within the hundred feet, above those corpses.

He seemed ethereal but he gave off an indescribable confidence and dominance. It was like he was looking at the thousands of Grade-6 Iron Cavalry like they were nothing!

Although that was the case, Zong Shou had to be injured. However, he didn’t know if it was minor or major.

He had totally given up on his plan to kill the Gantian Monster King here on the spot.

The 100 feet of land where he was standing was totally impenetrable and couldn’t be smashed.

The heavy sword shadows were like a wall.

All of a sudden, his eyes drifted off to the side. Although he couldn’t pass this area, the plains were wide. If they split up, they would be able to go around.

However, he seemed to have read his mind as Zong Shou laughed. He formed a seal with his hands and chanted. The sword in his hand was stabbed right into the ground.

Instantly 32,000-foot lightning wings spread out from his back. They covered 63,000 feet of space and drew from the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within 100 miles.

Numerous red flames spread out in all directions.

Looking out, three million feet around was a Red Flame Ocean.

A green Spiritual Mirror rose up in the sky, under the cover of the light it made illusions form in one’s mind.

At this moment, Zong Shou grinned and walked over.

Wuji’s heart sunk. He knew that this was most probably the Lu Family’s Burning Sky Flame.

Normal Grade-9 Spells couldn’t cover such a wide range.

Only special bloodline powers could do that.

He was also shocked at the amount of Soul Power Zong Shou had. He could actually sustain this three million feet Flame Ocean and not find it tiring.

He knew what Zong Shou was thinking, that he wouldn’t let them split up and escape!

Although this place was wide, it was the only path. To go from the sides, one would need eight to ten hours.

Thinking back to the Blood Cloud Cavalry who would rush over, he felt his heart turn cold.

His gaze once again focusing on Zong Shou. Thinking about it, only this path could work.

The golden Qilin under him charged forward once more. His heart didn’t waver at all.

He had lost all thoughts of fleeing.

He understood that Zong Shou was their enemy and the more time passed, the tougher he would be to handle.

If he could kill him here, even if he, the 7,000 Purple Qilin Flame Spear Cavalry all died here, it would be worth it!

6,400 spears swept out and although the number was small, the aura was strong.

They formed into one wave and charged forward.

Zong Shou once again held onto the handle of the Nameless Sword. His face was calm, the seriousness in his eyes got thicker.

This strike was even stronger than before. Wuji really accepted his fate.

The following clash was crucial. Whether or not he could break their spine and quash their fighting spirit all depended on this sword.

Energy surged in his body, however, he didn’t notice that Xiaori’s wet eyes on his shoulders were now filled with flames.

In his eyes, the situation today was a little different. He didn’t bother with those people. He focused on how those low-grade inferior Qilins dared to challenge their ruler!

Once was okay, but they actually dared twice…

He raised its head, his expression filled with arrogance. Scales appeared all around his body.
