Chapter 963 - Bloodbath On The Barren Island (1/2)

Chapter 963: Bloodbath On The Barren Island

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The resplendent sword lotus bloomed hundreds of meters in the sky, creating a scene like the red glowing sun was descending from the firmament while pouring out its brilliant rays, whereas the already dimmed Tenebrous Domain was diluted yet again by the sword beams.

Looking elegant and graceful in his white attire, Tang Guan waved his arm, and his sword blade seemed like a linked rainbow bridge that fell from the sky as it crashed down to impale the gigantic skeleton monster.

This move was Tang Guang’s strongest killing technique. At the moment when the sword beam clashed with the bone knife, a hazy figure seemed to be riding the sword and silently appeared near the skeleton monster. Spatial turbulence then occurred, and that figure suddenly appeared behind Maz Soloch.

“BE CAREFUL!!!”

Astraeus Soloch who was watching in the distance suddenly had his expression drastically change, and he shouted in alarm.

However, the shadowy figure was too fast, like an immortal sword, and silently slashed Maz Soloch’s neck powerfully, beheading him. The powerful slash even made the head that was flying away to explode instantly.

BOOM…

The skeleton monster also exploded and shattered loudly. Although it had wreaked havoc with its crushing blows to fend off the sword beam shot by the sword lotus, it was only able to do so for a fleeting moment. Now, the sword beam continued striking forward toward Zalegly Soloch.

“Tenebrous Domain!”

Zalegly Soloch crazily blew out mouthful after mouthful of greyish black blood and narrowly avoided the vital parts of his body getting pummeled. Yet, he quickly fled nearly 100 meters away after his left arm was cut off by the sword beam.

With anger and fury visible on his face, Astraeus swiftly dashed to Zalegly and blocked the rest of the sword beams for him. He furiously snarled, “You fucking bastard! You shamelessly resort to a sneak attack?! All my clansmen, KILL THEM ALL! I will reward whomever kills the most and who earns the biggest merit with a Sacred Fruit of Darkness once we return home!”

Sacred Fruit of Darkness?!

Hysteria could be seen in the eyes of the tens experts of the Celestial Wizard Clan. The Sacred Fruit of Darkness was the sacred object of their clan, as it was the fruit of their holy tree. The Sacred Tree of Darkness only bloomed once every 100 years and produced only 10 Sacred Fruit of Darkness each time.

It could be said that the Sacred Fruit of Darkness was among the top three treasures in the Celestial Wizard Clan. Consuming even just one fruit could make one’s strength greatly improve in a short time, even if that person was a newly born child. But for powerhouses, taking this fruit would increase their cultivation for hundreds of years.

“KILL!!!”

“KILL THEM ALL!!!”

A cluster of black fog suddenly burst out, and shadowy figures flung over toward the 9th island. The scene looked like they were evil spawns that rushed out of hell, bringing with them boiling killing aura along with the black fog.

Tang Xiu’s eyes were still trained on Astraeus Soloch. After seeing that this man had yet to rush over, he immediately raised his hand and waved forward while shouting, “SLAUGHTER THEM! None of you can step back unless you fight to the death in this battle. The more you kill, the better your reward!”

On the sea in the distance, Daoist Zixuan and her ten disciples just caught up and saw that the battle between the two sides had just begun. Although Daoist Zixuan had experienced several battles, seeing over a hundred powerhouses in the fray at the same time still gave her no small shock.

Her gaze, however, locked on the immortal swords in the hands of the Everlasting Feast Hall’s experts. She spent some time observing those swords and determined that they were immortal swords, and that the number of people who owned them was definitely more than 20.

“Master.”

Jin Chanzi’s complexion looked slightly pale. He and his martial brothers and sisters had never seen such a battle scene and looked nervous.

Deep thought filled Daoist Zixuan’s eyes, and she stayed silent for more than ten seconds before she finally made up her mind. After steeling her heart, she then said in a deep voice, “Daoist Tang and his men from Nine Dragons Island, including Mo Awu, have saved us. Now that they are battling those Celestial Wizard clansmen, we can’t stay still and do nothing. All of you, get ready to join the battle. Even if we must die today, we must help Daoist Tang and his men.”

“Understood!”

Regardless of them feeling nervous and restless, Jin Chanzi’s group of ten still had the courage to instantly release their swords and they flushed away toward the battlefield along with Daoist Zixuan. They were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage and each of them was comparable to the Everlasting Feast Hall’s experts; yet, their lack of experience in combat was instantly revealed after joining the battle and battling against the experts from the Celestial Wizard clan.

In the meantime, neither Tang Xiu nor Astraeus Soloch moved and just coldly observed the battle from the sideline.

The flickering light of the cold blades, as well as the sounds of rattling sabers, were getting louder amid the rain of blood that quickly made the 9th island into a huge battle stage with combatants being engaged in deadly combat everywhere. The barren island had become a field of bloodshed, dyeing the sky with blood and energy.

As time went by, however, Astraeus Soloch’s brows creased and knitted deeper. He was keenly aware that his side would suffer more and more casualties and injuries should the battle continue any longer. Moreover, he could see that his side was gradually having complications.

“How is this possible? These young people’s strength is not that powerful; yet, how can their combat experience be so rich? The most frightening aspect is that the longer they battle, the stronger the power they can unleash. They are even able to easily fix the clumsy moves they were doing previously.”

Fists clenched tightly, Astraeus’s eyes suddenly shifted to Tang Xiu. The words this young man told him before the battle were reverberating in his mind: Training his men.

“He… he’s using my clansmen… to drill his men?! This lunatic bastard! Doesn’t he know that it’s very difficult to train an expert? Even if the situation is in their favor, they will also suffer heavy casualties, regardless of them being able to kill the experts from my clan in the battle to this extent! Could it be that he doesn’t care about the many experts, like they are just worthless things in his eyes?”
