Chapter 151: Sword Slashes Through the Evil
At this moment, Wang Chen was under immense pressure.
Ahead of him, more than a dozen gray-eyed thieves unleashed a tempest of attacks.
Whirling wind blades, accompanied by arrows condensed with negative energy, blocked all of Wang Chen’s escape routes.
To his left and right, an even greater number of gray-eyed thieves rapidly closed in.
These evil cultivators drew their long knives, their blades gleaming with a cold, menacing light, slashing through the air like raging ocean waves, surging toward Wang Chen.
Their coordination, whether in ranged or close combat, was seamless and masterful.
Their faces were expressionless, their lips sealed, their gray eyes as lifeless as those of dead fish.
A chill ran down the spine of anyone who met their gaze.
Yet, Wang Chen noticed something peculiar: despite the ferocity of the evil cultivators’ assault, the killing intent was oddly faint.
It seemed more like they intended to…
Capture him alive?
Wang Chen snorted coldly, channeling his dantian’s power to its peak.
With a swift motion, he spread his fingers wide and instantly released twelve Falling Fire talismans!
In the next instant, twelve blazing fireballs roared toward the gray-eyed thieves attempting to flank him from both sides.
Crafted with master-level talisman-making technique, these Falling Fire talismans were at least fifty percent more potent than ordinary ones.
The ruthless evil cultivators dared not confront the onslaught directly, instead using their long knives to parry or conjuring shields to block.
Yet, the magical shields they summoned not only lacked the brilliance of a Spirit Light Shield but also radiated a sinister aura!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fireballs exploded, scattering countless flames that illuminated the entire hillside.
The previously relentless assault of the evil cultivators momentarily faltered.
This was exactly the outcome Wang Chen had hoped for!
Sword out!
Clang!
The Fire Crow Sword, hanging at Wang Chen’s back, suddenly unsheathed.
The blade, once silvery, now shimmered with a faint golden glow as it darted to the right.
In a flash of light, a head soared into the sky!
Once again, the Fire Crow Sword demonstrated the formidable destructive power of a flying sword.
But this was only the beginning.
Wang Chen raised his Spirit Light Shield, enduring the relentless barrage from the gray-eyed thieves, his focus entirely on controlling the Fire Crow Sword.
Infused with Metal Finger energy, the flying sword whirled around Wang Chen at an astonishing speed, slicing through the magical shields of the gray-eyed thieves and severing their grotesque heads with unstoppable force!
The gray-eyed thieves, controlled by powerful Evil Spirits, had largely lost their Intelligence, but their cultivation levels and combat experience remained intact. With their overwhelming numbers, their combined combat ability was no weaker than that of an initial Purple Palace cultivator.
Yet, under the sweeping assault of the Fire Crow flying sword, even the strongest gray-eyed thief could only withstand two strikes.
In just a few breaths, over ten evil cultivators were slain!
【Virtue +29】
【Virtue +27】
【Virtue +32】
…
Wang Chen’s vision was instantly flooded with a cascade of information, displaying the results of his recent battle!
Why Virtue?
Wang Chen was deeply puzzled, as he had previously earned Heavenly Merit points by defeating gray-eyed thieves.
But at this moment, Wang Chen had no time to seek answers.
As the Fire Crow Sword’s attack range expanded, his dantian’s power was rapidly depleting, already reduced to less than half of its peak capacity!
The flying sword’s destructive power was immense, and the cost of controlling it was equally staggering. Had Wang Chen not recently advanced to the eighth level of Qi Training, his energy reserves would likely have dwindled to a mere third by now.
Without hesitation, he drew spiritual energy from the Exorcising Net to replenish his dwindling reserves!
Buzz, buzz, buzz~
Fresh from drinking the blood of its enemies, the Fire Crow Sword suddenly emitted a resonant hum, brimming with battle intent, and shot forward dozens of paces, piercing through the chest of a gray-eyed thief.
The flying sword emerged from the back of the evil cultivator, instantly altering its trajectory, and swept past the neck of another gray-eyed thief nearby, severing his head!
【Virtue +30】
【Virtue +35】
The formation of gray-eyed thieves was thrown into disarray, and their magical assaults against Wang Chen became uncoordinated.
Meanwhile, the Fire Crow Sword’s slaughter continued unabated!
At this moment, Wang Chen was wholly absorbed in controlling the flying sword.
The Fire Crow Sword seemed to become an extension of his own body, moving fluidly with his mindset as the foundational sword moves he had tirelessly practiced were executed with flawless precision in an unrelenting barrage of attacks.
Thrust, slash, slice, weave, pierce, shatter…
Every flash of sword light marked the contribution of another evil cultivator to his Virtue points.
The more gray-eyed thieves he slew, the more Wang Chen’s killing intent and battle intent surged, making his control over the flying sword even more masterful!
In the heat of battle, he could not help but let out a long, clear whistle.
The sound echoed far and wide, and the Fire Crow Sword seemed to resonate with Wang Chen’s overwhelming battle intent, suddenly radiating countless sharp beams of light.
It cleanly bisected a gray-eyed thief who had been shielded by a magical shield!
This strike was truly formidable, its sharpness unparalleled.
It was an explosive display that transcended all boundaries!
Wang Chen felt his mastery of Sword Control deepen significantly, and countless ingenious ideas flooded his mind.
However, just as Wang Chen’s excitement surged, a shadowy figure silently appeared behind him, thrusting a dagger toward his back.
The dagger was dull and unreflective, exuding a thick, malevolent energy.
Clearly, it was targeting Wang Chen’s spiritual light armor!
The assassin had chosen the perfect moment to strike, catching Wang Chen off guard while he was fully focused on controlling the flying sword and had somewhat neglected his own defenses.
But the instant the assassin launched his attack, wisps of white smoke suddenly rose from his body, as if snow under the blazing sun, and his skin began to show signs of melting.
The dispelling talismans Wang Chen had prepared earlier now came into play!
Affected and eroded by the pure Yang energy, the assassin’s movements inevitably slowed ever so slightly.
Wang Chen sensed this and swiftly turned, delivering a powerful punch to the assassin’s chest.
Boom!
The punch concentrated ninety percent of his Vajra Fist strength, forcefully driving a surge of potent Qi and blood into the assassin’s body.
Then it erupted violently!
The assassin was sent flying like a kite with its string severed, a horrifying hole blown open in his chest. The wound sizzled and expanded rapidly, as if drenched in sulfuric acid.
【Virtue +50】
By the time he hit the ground, he was already a lifeless corpse!
Wang Chen took a deep breath, steadying the chaotic Qi and blood and energy within him.
The Fire Crow Sword flew back to his side.
Given Wang Chen’s current cultivation level, he couldn’t fully sustain simultaneous close and long-range combat.
Thus, he had to recall the flying sword; otherwise, he risked losing control and giving his enemies an opening to exploit!
By now, the gray-eyed thieves had been decimated, with only six remaining.
Yet, despite their dwindling numbers, they showed no fear, relentlessly pressing their attack on Wang Chen.
"Die!"
Wang Chen roared, his arms raised high as blazing flames erupted around them, swiftly forming into Fire Crows.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
