Chapter 515: Who Are You Looking To Kill (1/2)
It was a tombstone roughly forty meters in height and covered in weathered cracks. Still, Lu Yun was able to make out the scarlet characters etched into the stone: Tomb of the Venerated Sacrosanct Demon Sovereign.
It was written in the language of the primordial world of immortals, seemingly with fresh blood. The blood was still flowing, not yet dry even after such a long period of time.
The little nun and Wanfeng’s junior sister stood before the tomb, the latter looking ahead nervously. Their pale complexions made clear the magnitude of their severe injuries.
A swarm of powerful zombies slowly approached them.
“You fled with your tail between your legs after the sect head gave you a beating back in Dusk Province, Jiangchen Xie, and now you only dare bully those at a disadvantage to you. How shameless you are!”
Despite being roughly seventeen, the holy girl appeared more mature than her age, her curvaceous figure highlighted by a black chiffon dress. Holding an emerald bamboo staff that radiated with an intense glow, she kept the great number of zombies at bay.
Dressed in a black robe, a pale Jiangchen Xie flickered in and out of view among the dark shadows. His colorless lips curled into a vicious leer when she mentioned Lu Yun.
“Lu Yun is the head of the Star Demon Sect, and you are its holy girl. Consider me refining you into a battle zombie as prepayment of interest. Kill!”
At his command, hundreds of zombies charged and broke the light barrier erected by the bamboo stick.
The corner of her mouth still stained with blood, the daoist nun summoned a sword atlas with a wave of her hand that slashed at the zombies. However, her atlas paled in comparison to Lu Yun’s.
Lu Yun’s atlases consisted of a thousand and eighty immortal swords. As his cultivation improved, he’d incorporated more immortal swords within, especially after refining his replica, Xing Chen.
The daoist nun’s atlas, on the other hand, contained only three hundred and sixty-five immortal swords. However, since that was a powerful number that matched the days it took for the world to complete an orbit, she was still able to create a powerful sword formation.
Every cycle of the formation killed countless zombies. Back in the Sovereign Meet, her nascent spirit had been too weak to copy Lu Yun’s Sword Atlas. But when the void realm geniuses attacked Dusk Province, she’d already ascended to the returned void realm and copied the combat art when Xing Chen used it.
With inferior talent compared to Lu Yun’s, though, she could only incorporate three hundred and sixty-five immortal swords in a single atlas. Upon releasing five atlases, the dense sword energy within rained down on the zombies, tearing apart everything within fifty kilometers.
However, Jiangchen Xie was able to summon forth more zombies with a quick shake of his tattered Bag of Corpse Refinement. The little nun was now covered in bleeding gashes. She’d been injured to begin with, and exerting herself had only caused her wounds to open again.
The holy girl of the Star Demon Sect turned the bamboo staff into a flute, playing an alluring song that spread in all directions. Their enemies, however, were heartless zombies and immune to the music she played.
“Stop! Stop it at once!” Countless zombies crashed into the daoist nun’s atlases, sending her closer to collapse. “My master won’t forgive you for this!”
Facing the shadows of death, the daoist nun had no choice but to invoke her master.
“Your master?” Jiangchen Xie paused, and the speed at which the Bag of Corpse Refinement released zombies slowed. Those that’d already been released, though, still tore frantically into the atlases.
“The one who drove away the North Sea’s old lion in Dusk!” White as a sheet, blood seeped out at the corner of the little nun’s lips. The orderly sword atlases in the sky had been knocked awry by the endless swarm of zombies.
Jiangchen Xie’s expression darkened further to hear the girl’s words.
