Chapter 440 - Of rain and tears (Part-6) (1/2)

Frozen Ocean had seen many things in her life, some good, some bad, she knew the world was vast and even after living such a long life there were many things that she might not have seen or heard but, the current Ryuu was bordering on absurd at first she had thought she had found his limits this.

'What in Heavens' name is this KI and killing intent, they are abnormal especially his KI, is he really peak Mystic Sword Immortal? What is he?'

While Frozen Ocean tried to dissect the mystery known as Ryuu, the Preta realm cultivators were in a different situation altogether, they heard those arrogant order out of Ryuu's mouth and now they were on their knees their head touching the soil in deep bow waiting for their judgment, and it scared them greatly.

Both 'Requiem' and 'Genesis', were in his hand as Sword Force seemed to coalesce all over his sword before he swung it hard, Ryuu might not have reached the God Tier in the Grand Dao of Sword but he was infinitesimally close enough to claim that he had already reached a 'Pseudo God Tier' state.

The rain itself seemed to no longer affect him but slowly join together to form multiple swords, that easily outnumbered the number of cultivators as he spoke again, ”I am not cruel enough to let you die while prostrating before a superior being as such I will allow you to move, so raise your head and look at me as you die.”

As if the immense weight that pressed them down in the mud was lifted as they came face to face with a large wall of flying swords made up of water, each humming with a deadly amount of Sword Force that made them gulp fear but before anyone could react Ryuu swung his sword and following his swing the thousands of blades descended upon them as if they were let out by arrows.

It was incredibly fast, so fast that many could not react and amongst those that did some tried to dodge, while some tried to use various defensive measures they had, the cultivators that were cut by the sword no matter how small it was, were immediately caught fire, some were poisoned, whereas a few were turned to ice sculptures that shattered, a few of them managed to erect barriers and were a bit successful but those who thought that they could be protected by merely raising a bit of soil or their shield forgot about a very important detail, water always finds a way through the nooks and crannies and the swords were essentially made up of water mixed with sword force.

Ryuu's one attack had dwindled the once strong and proud force of over three thousand to a paltry five hundred, and from the looks of it they were scared and frightened some tried to run only for a barrier to halt them as Ryuu spoke in a mocking tone, ”Aww is the big bad baddy wants to run from the little brat.”

The group was scared out of their wits a single attack decimated them and now they were trapped with the one that had killed so many of their brethren, they were afraid, very afraid of Ryuu, but it was opposite of Ryuu's group as they were suddenly received a boost in their morale.

Chianyu was drenched in blood his look of despair had been washed by Rains of Sword and now bolstered with newfound joy as he shouted at the top of his lungs, ”Brother Ryuu saved us once again, are we so weak and pathetic that he will have to work on saving us again and again.”

His shouts were answered by a chorus of 'Nos', as he shouted out again, ”Then what are you all waiting for paying them back a thousand folds.”

With a shout that shook seemed to shake the Heaven itself the group jumped on the remaining Preta realm cultivators as Ryuu quickly went by Frost Flames side as he quickly began to feed him pills to nullify the poison as well as hill her wounds, by the time he had managed to heal her their group had successfully managed to deal with their enemies, the barrier surrounding them lowered as True-Spear entered.

He looked around the devastation as he let out a small huff, ”Damn it is over, I ran as fast as I could.”

Chianyu who was nearby gave him a weak smile as he spoke, ”You have to thank Daoist Ryuu if it were not for him we might have died.”

True-Spear looked down towards Ryuu and instantly his face paled upon seeing the lying form of Frost Flames covered in fear when all of a sudden Ryuu aimed towards their direction as he fired a torrent of arrows from a beautifully crafted bow, it was fast incredibly so and it went past him in a blink of an eye which was followed by a scream of pain.
