Chapter 360 - Nine Netherworld Ba?mu(Part-3) (1/2)

”Control yourselves Su-Min”, bellowed Ryuu in anger as he spoke, ”I am not going to die today and neither are you because of this incompetent mongrels.”

Ryuu took out his sword as he dragged his palm over the sharp edge drawing blood before he closed his eyes to focus. The sphere by then was completely unstable and wobbly and with a loud bang it shattered as did the heart of anyone inside whose name was not Ryuu panicked as they quickly decided to use whatever technique necessary to preserve their life only to stop as a intense killing intent combined with KI washed over them, for them it seemed the world around them froze, as they looked at Ryuu no they looked at the sword that had taken the shape of a human waiting to be unleashed on the enemy.

Ryuu had at first felt guilty at the same time he knew that the protective sphere that detonated outwardly made sure to push any cultivators or poisonous gas away from them, he knew that it would cause deaths of some and he also knew he will have only one chance to pierce through the barrier preventing them before he would be overwhelmed by the gas as well as fellow cultivators.

Then he noticed something that made his blood boil, he had made the mistake of reading their lips.

”…..shut up you do not know what is a good wine…”

”Really brother Hao you seemed to forget about the place I took you to before entering this place…..”

Hao's eyes glazed over as he gave a lecherous grin as he spoke, ”Let us return there again….”

Ryuu had a look of disbelief over his face, from the distance he thought that this people were arguing after getting stuck, he thought they were scared people he knew how in face of danger people simply wanted to run and most of the deaths or injuries were caused by panicking people but this they deliberately blocked the pathway they simply wanted decrease the competition, 'This mongrels how dare they, HOW DARE THEY CONSPIRE TO KILL ME.', his anger erupted like a volcano as did his hatred for them, 'I SENTENCED THEM TO DEATH.”

His sword hummed in agreement as it wanted to bathe in blood of those that defied and conspired against its master.

Ryuu gained a blood thirsty grin as he stopped his Divine body from acting up although his eyes had gained the tell-a-tale sign of the Divine body as he used one of the techniques borrowed from his second older sister, his words seemed to reverberate through the soul of others as the offenders were finally realized of their imminent doom, but it was too late.

”Forbidden Arts: Thousand Flower Blossom.”

As he spoke those words the Grand Dao of Sword formed around him like a lotus, then its petal seemed to be scattered across swaying gently as if under a breeze, before it was lit with fire and encased with ice which turned black in color as array seemed to be forming on top it, Ryuu then thrust his sword forward like a stab as the world seemed to move along with it.

They did not even feel when they died, their protective bubble torn to shred like a piece of paper trying to stop a lake full of water, they petals had turned to deadly swords that tore them apart faster they could blink and their bodies were destroyed even faster, with the road cleared Ryuu turned and grinned, ”Road is clear let us escape.”

With that he dashed forward, Frozen Ocean looked at the tall back of Ryuu, a moment ago she had already made peace with the idea of her death, she had given up yet someone so many years younger than him did not he pushed forward literally dragging them, even when their path was blocked Ryuu did not falter he cut through it and as such she understood why her Junior Martial Sisters sung praises of him, he was truly unparalleled with sword.

As they reached the other side of the portal they heaved a sigh of relief, they were safe and that proved to be fatal as Su-Min let her guard down.

A screaming cultivator emerged from the portal, ”Save me someone anyone.”

Then he tried to grab the nearest person to him which unfortunately was Su-Min, after dashing so much her body was screaming with pain, as such when she decided to relax and let her guard down so did her body as such she could not move fast, everything slowed down for her as a look of dread appeared on her face, her brain was screaming to move but she could not, Ryuu who was nearby reacted as he flung the person from near her as look of realization dawn on his face, 'Damn it I touched him, I could have flung him without touching, I am an idiot colossal idiot.'

A pain erupted from his left hand, he felt as if something was feasting inside his hand digging through it, he knew he had to act fast his poison tolerance was not enough, he gritted his teeth as a flat board appeared in front of him, he fell on the top on his knees with his infected hand supporting him, he turned to Su-Min whose visage was rapidly paling as he spoke, ”Su-Min do not gawk I will die within seconds if you waste my time, use this board and move me away from the portal fast I do not wish for it to repeat again will you, and please guard me.”

Su-Min quickly nodded as she caught the board as she carried him, only to be joined by others who started moving fast from the portal, Amnon who was nearby frowned as he spoke, ”Try to move without shaking too much, I hope Daoist Ryuu can pull of a miracle.”
