Chapter 549 - The Deitys Bane (1/2)

He had fused his own energy with the sword to deliver a devastating attack.

There was so much deadly force packed inside the blade that it made Lin Shuming’s final blow pale in comparison. In order to deliver the final blow, Lin Shuming had consumed all the Blade Qi he had acc.u.mulated over the sixty years. In contrast, Chen Fan’s attack had barely made a dent on his energy reserve.

Such was the deadliness of the Sword Reigning Arts.

“Clank!”

Chen Fan reappeared in the sky after he had completed the art.

Although it usually required a cultivator to reach the Connate Spirit level to be able to control the sword by fusing with the blade, Chen Fan’s Azure Thearch Longevity Body had given him an edge to use this advanced form of the Art of Sword Reigning. To unleash the full strength of the Sword Reigning Arts, you would need to fuse your physical body, True Essence and Divine Soul, all with the blade.

The power of such a Sword Art would have exceeded the imagination of the mortals.

Lin Shuming had controlled the sword using his Primordial Essence alone, so his technique was a far cry from the real deal.

“I can do this all day long, but how long can you last?”

Chen Fan linked his hands behind his back and kept his chin up, looking proud and supercilious.

Li Changsheng was quiet; his face was dark and heavy

Yao Daoyi was still recovering from the shock. He would have already been killed by Chen Fan if he hadn’t used the Thunder Seal to protect himself. The blow had left a deep crack on the Thunder Seal, significantly diminis.h.i.+ng its effectiveness.

As for the other five warriors, they were either dead or unconscious.

It seemed that the battle had ended.

“Chen Beixuan, are you really going to wage a full-on war with us?” Li Changsheng loosened his fat sleeve and asked. His voice was firm and steady, and the energy inside of him had also gained more vigor and intensity.

“I said that from now on, there will be no more Immortal State Warriors in the East.”

Chen Fan’s looked into the distance, impa.s.sive as ever.

“Bang!”

Tantai Qingxuan emerged in the sky as another lotus flower petal fell from the platform. There were only two petals left, meaning her Dharma Treasure could only save her life two more times.

Dharma-rāja Sakya didn’t possess any Dharma Artifacts, so he had to appear in the form of a Divine Soul after his body had been destroyed by Chen Fan.

His Divine Soul was so condensed that it was nearly solid. It seemed to be constantly surrounded by the chants of the Tantric sutra. Tantric Buddhists emphasized heavily on the cultivation of a Divine Soul, therefore, Dharma-rāja Sakya’s Divine Soul was one of the strongest in the world. Even without his body, his Divine Soul was still a force to be reckoned with.

As for Damon, his body healed in an instant. The attack had only brought a slight paleness onto his face.

It turned out that Chen Fan’s attack didn’t manage to kill even one of his opponents.

Chen Fan was not surprised by the turn of events. He knew those veteran Immortal State Warriors had one or two life-saving skills up their sleeves. If he couldn’t kill them in one blow, he would just have to do it all over again, until they were finally dead.

With the blade in one hand, Chen Fan yelled, “Come again!”

His body s.h.i.+mmered a little and then turned into a flow of energy that gushed into the flying sword. The Sword Aura turned brighter as the sword itself picked up speed until it reached five times the speed of sound.

While breaking the hypersonic barrier with his body, Chen Fan could do at the most two times the speed of the sound.

However, once he had fused his life energy with the blade, he could double that speed, making himself a killing machine. Because of their deadliness, the Sword Immortals had earned a reputation as fearsome warriors in the realm of Immortal Cultivation. Even Chen Fan couldn’t sustain this condition for too long, but it should give him enough time to put an end to his opponents.

“Shu!”

The attack gravely injured the seven again.

Guru Rama’s arm was sheared right off of his body despite his incredible tough physique. Golden blood-like liquid sprayed out from the wound on Guru Rama’s incorporeal body. Tantai Qingxuan was killed for the third time and the same happened to Damon the Blood Fiend.

Yao Daoyi, Dharma-rāja Sakya and Watanabe were able to escape death, but they had been gravely injured. They were forced to retreat as blood poured out from their mouths.

Li Changsheng was the only one who had held out against Chen Fan’s blow using his Violet Protective Qi.

“Bang!”

When Tantai Qingxuan appeared in the sky, there was only one petal left on the platform. Life and colors were ebbed away from her face and, for the first time in her life, she felt her life was hanging in the balance.

Even the golden glow on Guru Rama’s ghostly form had diminished.

Sword of Essence Restoring had proven its unequivocal effect by gravely injuring one of the most skilled Body Tempering Masters.

The other Immortal State Warriors were all disheartened by Chen Fan’s lightning speed. Chen Fan was five times faster than the speed of sound, and he didn’t give his opponents any chance to react, much less to joining their forces to counter his attacks.

“We can’t keep going like this. We are all going to die.”

Blood poured out from Blood Fiend Damon’s wound before it was healed.

He looked even more troubled than the last time. Thanks to his Awakened Bloodline, he was ranked among the top three on the Divine Roll. However, even his regeneration ability seemed to fall short while he was under Chen Fan’s relentless aggression.

The Immortal State Warriors looked at one another and nodded knowingly as if they had just reached a consensus.

“Try to counter this!”

Chen Fan laughed as he used his sword to hack at his opponent again. Rage coursed in his veins as deadly energies ran down from the sharp edge of the sword.

As long as he has the sword, he would be undefeatable. The combined forces of the seven Immortal Warriors was deadly even for Chen Fan, but they were unable to land a solid blow. Therefore, these Immortal State Warriors more often than not found themselves taking on Chen Fan’s attack by themselves—something not even an Earth Level Deity could have pulled off.

“Boom!”

The Blade Qi made a blaring sound akin to thunder.

The Sword Aura sliced open the sky and quickly reached a sonic speed, trailing a streak of golden glow behind it. It was apparent that this attack was even deadlier than the previous one.
