Chapter 961: A Pressing and Critical Situation

Daoist Zixuan turned her head and condensed her voice to transmit to Jin Chanzi, “I’ll hold them off while you all immediately escape this place. Remember, head straight to Nine Dragons Island. As long as you get there, Daoist Tang will definitely be able to save your lives.”

“Master!” hurriedly shouted Jin Chanzi.

With an angry face, Daoist Zixuan glared at him and transmitted her voice again, “This is my order, and you must obey it! The Celestial Wizard Clan’s Grand Elder is very strong; his cultivation is comparable to mine. I have the confidence to escape from here myself, but I can’t protect you all with so many of you here. Go quickly!”

Jin Chanzi clenched his fists tightly. He was intensely unwilling and angry in his heart as he hated himself for being weak. If he were powerful enough, he could stay and fight side-by-side with his Master, instead of leaving her alone amid a serious dilemma.

At the same time, a pang of regret was also nipping at his heart. If it weren’t for his decision to inform his Master, they wouldn’t have fallen into such danger, nor would his Master have fallen into such a grave situation.

While gritting his teeth, Jin Chanzi sent out his voice to his five martial brothers and five martial sisters, relaying their Master’s message to them, telling them, “Junior Brothers, Senior Sisters, we must escape as quickly as possible so as to not become Master’s burden—else, Master’s life will be in danger if we can’t escape from this place.

“RUN!”

The other nine people had the same feelings as Jin Chanzi—angry, yet helpless, making them only to have one choice. They immediately unleashed their magical tools or weapons to fly towards Nine Dragons Island and abandoned their ship.

A contemptuous smile appeared on Astraeus Soloch’s lips. He coldly snorted and said, “Hmph, capture them alive! Don’t let anyone of them escape!”

“Affirmative!”

Dozens of figures streaked into the sky from the three liners lightning fast. At the same time, black mist billowed and quickly pursued Jin Chanzi’s group of ten. Three figures among the others were particularly fast and were able to intercept the ten people who had just fled a few kilometers away.

Daoist Zixuan’s face turned a bit pale and her figure flickered toward her ten disciples. However, another blob of black fog suddenly appeared out of nowhere as Astraeus Soloch was seen holding his staff. The old man looked frail and decrepit, yet the aura exuding out of his body was immense.

“We are yet to have our fight, so where are you going?” Astraeus Soloch blocked Daoist Zixuan’s path, waving the magic staff faster to create bubbles of black fog that revolved around Daoist Zixuan, constricting her movements and surrounding her within a radius of 100 meters.

At this moment, immense killing aura blasted out from Daoist Zixuan. Sword beam energy jetted out as she brandished the long sword in her hand and stabbed the black fog bubbles. With such intensity, the air current in the surrounding space turned chaotic.

“Fused Myriad of Swords!”

The sword qi shattered the black fog bubbles and ultimately formed a sword beam 100 meters long that sent out a chilling sensation. The brilliant sword beams then swept over to steamroll Astraeus Soloch instantly.

“Tenebrous Domain!”

With raucous laughter, a scythe-shaped weapon suddenly appeared in Astraeus Soloch’s hand. The scythe suddenly revolved around him lightning-fast and clashed with the hundred-meter sword beam head-on in that instant. Numerous black fog bubbles then appeared yet again and densely covered every direction around Daoist Zixuan.

BOOM!!!

The collision of the two weapons produced huge shock waves, causing Daoist Zixuan’s body to greatly tremble. Obviously shocked, she cried out, “The Grim Reaper Scythe? Dammit… your Celestial Wizard clan succeeded in obtaining the Death God magical weapon, the Grim Reaper Scythe, from the exploration 300 years ago?”

“You guessed it right. Hahaha…” Astraeus Soloch burst into laughter. “My father got this scythe while all of you were fighting the other forces then. If I remember correctly, your Whole Unitary Sect should’ve lost a lot in the battle for the treasure back then, no? Hahaha… I was finally able to fully control this Grim Reaper Scythe as my own magical weapon after 300 years of refining it. Unless you can destroy it, it will definitely drink your blood today.”

As a response, Daoist Zixuan swiftly casted a secret art, causing dark clouds to quickly appear in the sky, followed by bolts of lightning that flashed down from the heavens to crush the black fog bubbles beneath. At the moment when the bubbles were combusting, another sword beam swept over from her and blasted toward the revolving Grim Reaper Scythe that was striking at her.

While her defense was by no means weak, the power of the Grim Reaper Scythe was too immense. Despite going all out to fend it off, it was still able to penetrate her defense and create a small wound on her body.

“Linked Strike—Devastation!”

Astraeus Soloch suddenly shouted. Tens of black fog bubbles that hadn’t yet been destroyed by lightning bolts suddenly blasted out and created a blazing black flame, surrounding Daoist Zixuan within as it continued bombarding her.

“Puah…”
