Chapter 1777: Chapter 1874: The Calamity of Slaughter
Once the words of the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master were spoken, the people below all changed their expressions, each looking at the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master with extreme shock.
"Are you crazy! You actually want to make a move on us? Aren’t you afraid of a terrible backlash?"
"Don’t think that just because this is your Sealing Sword Pavilion’s territory, you can act recklessly!"
"A mere Sealing Sword Pavilion can’t swallow so many of us."
"If you release the array now, we will still give you a chance to explain."
...
The crowd was furious, all speaking out to criticize the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master, some of which included mockery, and some even began to curse him.
Facing the crowd’s condemnation and criticism, the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master remained calm and peaceful, with a faint smile still hanging on his face.
"Go ahead, say a few more words while you still have a life to do so. Soon, you people will no longer have the chance to speak." The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master said, with a wave of his hand, all the cracks on the array disappeared, replaced by an oppressive aura.
Even the Long-lived Ones felt as if their entire body’s blood seemed to coagulate under this oppressive force, and those with even lower cultivation were almost about to collapse on the ground.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Fang Lin spoke, his eyes cold and stern.
The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master looked at Fang Lin and smiled slightly: "Why ask such a meaningless question? I’ve already said I want to take your lives, that’s all."
That’s all?
Fang Lin snorted coldly: "If you kill everyone here, the Sealing Sword Pavilion will surely become the enemy of the world. How then can you survive? All the powerful ones of the Nine Countries Seven Seas will hunt you down to the Ends of the Earth."
The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master shook his head: "You’re wrong, the people here are only to die first, the world’s beings will follow in your footsteps, no one can escape."
"What?" The crowd was stunned upon hearing this. What does this mean? Could it be that this Sealing Sword Pavilion Master is really insane? Besides wanting to kill everyone here, he also plans to continue targeting people from the Nine Countries Seven Seas?
To be the enemy of the whole world?
Even if the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master’s strength is extraordinary and he has many powerful swordsmen under him, if he claims to be the world’s enemy, it’s too arrogant. Not to mention the truly hidden foundations of the Nine Countries, there are strong ones from the three sects that the Sealing Sword Pavilion cannot shake.
The result of being the enemy of the world is destined to be the downfall of your Sky Swallowing Palace, yet the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master dares to boldly declare that the world’s beings can hardly escape death, which in anyone’s view, makes him seem insane.
Only a madman would speak such mad words.
"What exactly is your aim?" Fang Lin asked in a deep voice. Compared to others who believed the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master was crazy, Fang Lin felt the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master likely had quite a significant scheme.
The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master touched the sword scar on his face and said: "You have fought against me before and are considered one of the few people I appreciate. It doesn’t matter if I tell you, considering you all do not have long to live. Even if you know my intentions, it won’t change anything."
Pausing for a moment, the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master continued: "You once went to that place and saw the matter we, the Sealing Sword Pavilion, are plotting."
Fang Lin was startled and then reacted, realizing the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master was likely referring to the secret gathering of many Pill Refiners to refine the Transcendental Elixir.
However, in Fang Lin’s eyes, whatever the Sealing Sword Pavilion was doing was destined for no result. How could the Transcendental Elixir be so easily refined? In his past life, he expended immense effort and shed much blood and sweat but was unable to genuinely create the Life and Death Reincarnation Pill. It’s unlikely the Pill Refiners the Sealing Sword Pavilion found could produce it.
"Perhaps you think I gathered Pill Refiners to refine the Transcendental Elixir for my own immortality." The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master said with a slight smile.
"Isn’t that so?" Fang Lin coldly replied.
And among those present, hearing this conversation, found it all unfathomable. What is this Transcendental Elixir? What is immortality? What kind of things are these? They could not understand at all.
Only some strong ones who understood Alchemy Tao could slightly comprehend the dialogue between the two.
"This Sealing Sword Pavilion Master secretly refining the Transcendental Elixir? Wanting to cross over the line of life and death? To become truly immortal?"
"Truly insane! He’s a madman!"
"How could such an impossible pill even exist?"
...
The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master gazed at Fang Lin and said: "The Transcendental Elixir was not meant to be refined for me, but prepared for my mentor. And taking your lives is to enable his return to the world."
Mentor?
Fang Lin furrowed his brows, the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master’s mentor?
"The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master is a remnant of ancient times, if he indeed has a mentor, then that mentor must also be someone from ancient times. Someone who could train such a powerful swordsman must certainly have been a renowned figure in those days." Fang Lin thought to himself.
"I’ve said so much to you all, and it’s time to send you on your way." The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master seemed unwilling to say more to Fang Lin. With a wave of his hand, numerous Sword Qi fell densely from the array, like a sword rain.
The whole array was shrouded by the sword rain, each Sword Qi as if the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master were striking with full force.
In an instant, many were slaughtered on the spot, their bodies smashed by the Sword Qi, utterly unable to resist.
Blood, torn flesh, slaughter, death!
A situation with no path to survival, under the baptism of Sword Qi, hundreds and thousands of people had already been killed, and this number continued to rise.
Dugu Nian took action, blocking all the Sword Qi coming towards the people of the Sky Swallowing Palace. For a moment, there was no danger. After all, Dugu Nian was an Immortal powerhouse, with the cultivation to protect the people of the Sky Swallowing Palace.
But the others from the Nine Countries Seven Seas did not have this strength, and Dugu Nian had no extra capacity to save the others. Protecting the Sky Swallowing Palace’s people was already the limit.
As more people died, a red dark flow rose from the bodies of the deceased and gradually converged in one place.
This red dark flow was evidently the life force within those who died, now being absorbed by the array.
The Sealing Sword Pavilion Master’s eyes were exceedingly cold, watching those below who kept dying without any fluctuation in his heart.
"I’ve prepared for this moment for many years, and no matter how great the obstacle, I will flatten it," the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master murmured.
"If this continues, there’s hardly anyone who can survive here!" Fang Lin looked up at the Sealing Sword Pavilion Master, deciding to take action and gamble on a chance.
Roar!!!
The True Dragon avatar appeared, carrying with it a majestic dragon might, charging straight at the array, with Fang Lin standing proudly atop the dragon’s head, eight Ancient Lamps of Flame God floating around him, the Vicissitudes Ancient Spear already in hand.
