Everlasting Chapter 669 Devouring Sword Intent (1/2)
811'>
Despite that, the two of them continued to protect Wen Shaoxiu, blocking all the attacks aimed at him.
Shua!
Wen Shaoxiu attacked once again, his Sacred Boltflame Sword becoming like a compressed bolt of lightning as it shot forward rapidly. Sword light streaked out in a straight line, moving so quickly that the cultivator targeted by the attack was incapable of evading.
Thus, another cultivator was killed.
After killing the two cultivators, Wen Shaoxiu's essence, energy and soul began falling. Even so, he remained as steady as a mountain. The Sacred Boltflame Sword returned to his hand and he locked on to another cultivator and began gathering his strength for another killing stroke.
Jian Shaolong and Jian Zhikong said nothing as they continued to stay beside Wen Shaoxiu.
Shua!
The third cultivator fell to Wen Shaoxiu.
The remaining cultivators began sweating. This all-out move was something that only the madmen from Heavenly Sword Faction would do.
The three of them are truly resolute. Concentrating wholeheartedly to kill their enemies while only taking some damage on their end. Chen Feng, who was up in the air, was able to observe it all clearly. Their actions had shocked him.
After killing off another cultivator, Wen Shaoxiu's team of three quickly retreated back into the tempest of sword beams.
“After them! They have exhausted their primary energies.”
“Chase them and kill them. This is a good opportunity.”
Seeing four of the cultivators on their side dying earlier had struck fear into them. However, when they saw Wen Shaoxiu's team of three retreat, their morale rose and they charged into the tempest of sword beams.
As Chen Feng was about to take action, w.a.n.g Xinglong, Ren Tianxing, Jian Xiaotian and two other cultivators charged out. The killer moves that they had been preparing all this time erupted out from under the cover of the tempest of sword beams.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of loud colliding sounds, two more cultivators were killed. Due to that, the attacking cultivators grew infuriated. The fight had only just started. And yet, they had already lost six cultivators while Heavenly Sword Faction had yet to lose a single one.
Wen Shaoxiu's team of three, who were backing off, suddenly turned around to charge at the attacking cultivators as well, releasing their full power for their attacks.
“What? Hurry, run!”
“They still have some strength left!”
The attacking cultivators were defeated. One by one, they began fleeing. However, upon emerging from the tempest of sword beams, those cultivators ran straight into Chen Feng.
Chen Feng did not go soft on them. The Twin Swords of Life and Death slashed forward to release a storm of sword beams. Instantly, another cultivator was killed while several more were wounded.
The attacking side had gathered up ten plus half-step Human Immortals for this. However, Chen Feng and the others had killed them again and again until only half remained. Not to mention, all of them were already wounded.
The cultivators fled. However, after putting some distance between themselves and the cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction, they felt their faces burning. They had lost face big time. Still, they had no intentions of giving up. Instead, they decided to recruit even more cultivators to come over.
There were cultivators scattered all around the area surrounding the broken sword, after all.
“What are you fellows s.p.a.cing out for? Are you fellows going to do nothing and watch as Heavenly Sword Faction grow stronger? If they get this Immortal artefact, all of us will probably die here!” one of the cultivators from Heartless Heaven Sect shouted loudly.
“Heh! What does your fight to the death with them have to do with us? We are just here to enjoy the show. As for the broken sword, we know our limits. We'll be leaving soon enough to explore other places. If you fellows want to fight over the broken sword, be my guest.”
“Yes, this Immortal artefact can only be taken by the destined person. Recklessly charging forward will only result in us getting killed by the limitless sword beams. Besides, it wasn't easy for us to come here. We want to search for treasures, not to get into b.l.o.o.d.y fights for some trivial issues.”
“Ha ha ha! I will join you guys! My junior brother was killed by the disciples from Heavenly Sword Faction. I'll kill a few disciples from Heavenly Sword Faction as revenge.”
Some cultivators were quick to agree. However, most chose to only watch. Regardless if they planned on going against Heavenly Sword Faction or seizing the broken sword, recklessly attacking right now was not a good idea. Thus, only a few cultivators agreed while the others chose to simply spectate.
Ha ha! Looks like they were scared by what happened earlier. If Heavenly Sword Faction had fallen into a disadvantageous position earlier, these fellows would have charged forward already. Still, the combat power of Heavenly Sword Faction's cultivators had fallen considerably. The sword technique that Wen Shaoxiu displayed earlier consumed a great deal of his primary energy. As for Jian Zhikong and Jian Shaolong, they are quite badly wounded. Meanwhile, Jian Xiaotian and the others were inside the tempest of sword beams earlier. Thus, they had already used up quite a bit of their strength. Truth be told, if these fellows swarmed forward, putting their lives on the line to attack, they could indeed kill off the cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction. However, it is clear that they are not courageous enough. After a.s.sessing the situation, Chen Feng felt concerned.
Amongst all the cultivators to enter the ancient battlefield, the number of cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction was the highest. Additionally, they were all the elites amongst the elites, geniuses amongst geniuses. Every single one of them were cultivators with great potentials. However, the combined might of the other cultivators was in no way small. If the number of casualties amongst the cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction here in the ancient battlefield was too high, it would seriously affect Heavenly Sword Faction.
However, this broken sword's existence will be greatly beneficial towards pure sword cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction. Hopefully, they will be able to make some more breakthroughs before Tower collect it. After reaching that line of thought, Chen Feng's eyes focused and he turned to look at the broken sword.
He was channelling his eye technique at full capacity. Even his perceptions were pushed to the max. Everything before his eyes seemingly became layered.
Spiritual energy streams, sword beams and even sword intent. All of them appeared as streams and strands before Chen Feng's eyes.
Now, to try and perceive sword intent. According to Tower, I can devour and meld sword intent. I wonder if it's true. I'll have to try it.
