562 Whoever Stops Me Dies! (2/2)
Sandro turned pale.
A hexagon star then rose from the floor. Damon, the three Immortal State Warriors and two top wizards of the Withered Castle each stood at one of its corners; they began infusing their powers into the star.
With the power of the four Immortal State Warriors, the Guardian Array closed up and became thicker. It looked like a shiny black metal shield from the outside.
”Go!” Chen Fan shouted.
The twenty-five feet blade aura struck down from the sky and split the world into two. The strong Blade Qi stirred up the air, making it look like the raging waves.
”Boom!”
A sound just like a missile exploding was heard.
A hurricane appeared above the castle and it moved around the area. Trees within a few hundred meters were all toppled and cracked. The entire castle was shattering violently and tons of rubble fell.
A fifty meters crack appeared on the black protection shield and everyone in the castle could be seen through it.
”Burr…”
The two top wizards couldn't hold it and were smashed into pieces by the overwhelming Blade Qi.
Sandro, Arthur and Norland were strong warriors at the mid-stage of the Immortal State, but they couldn't stand Chen Fan's attack; they even took a few steps back. Only Damon was still hanging there with his body covered in a fiery crimson aura.
Damon was giving it his full strength.
Although he had yet to reach the Mortal Deity level, he was more powerful than Lin Shuming and Li Changsheng at their usual condition.
”Chuff, chuff.”
The golden blade aura almost split the black mist to enter the castle, but Damon blocked it. The hexagon star array had developed an endless might and the blade aura could only fall back.
”Phew, we finally made it.”
All the members of the Withered Castle smiled as they rejoiced. Suddenly, Chen Fan's body flashed, turning into a beam of light and merging into the golden blade aura.
The Art of Sword Reigning, Merging Body and Blade!
”Shit!”
Damon was stunned. He quickly exerted his secret arts and prepared to fight.
But it was too late. Chen Fan merged with the blade and the blade aura lengthened to thirty feet long, breaking the speed of sound in an instant.
”Boom!”
The Withered Castle's Guardian Array was cracked.
Before everyone noticed, the bright golden blade aura had already entered the castle. Being a powerful organization for centuries, small-scale arrays had been carved on every brick of the Withered Castle, which could prevent its decay, including the attack from a cannon.
But those bricks were as vulnerable as tofu before the powerful blade aura. Many ordinary warriors who were at the Dao-Reaching Level had been slaughtered. A number of wizards were slashed by the blade aura right after they activated the protection shield and they instantly exploded.
”Stop him!”
Sandro sent out a long dragon-like black mist from the Skeleton Staff in his hand. The black mist was filled with curses, Death qi and Ghost qi, as if the God of Death had heaved a sigh.
The Sigh of Death.
Sandro had once cast this spell on a battlefield in North Africa and it took away the souls of more than a thousand French soldiers, which earned him the title of Grand Wizard of the Dead. This time, the spell became even more horrifying; its power could even scare off an Immortal State Warrior.
However, Chen Fan wasn't avoiding it at all. His blade aura immediately slashed through Sandro's black mist and cracked the Skeleton Staff. Sandro's body was smashed together with his soul.
An Immortal State Grand Wizard who was on top of the world.
He fell in a blink.
Arthur and Norland blanched as they saw this. They were frightened out of their wits.
”Bang!”
Norland turned into a cloud of dark smoke and tried to run away, but his body had been split into halves by Chen Fan and only his Divine Soul escaped. Chen Fan's blade aura then surged again towards Damon with an incomparable energy.
”Pong, pong, pong!”
Damon sent out beams of crimson aura to stop Chen Fan, but they were cloven by the blade aura.
A Sword Immortal could defeat anything with a single sword, so they never relied on other artifacts.
”Stop! You can't kill him.” Arthur created a wave that stood right before Chen Fan.
”You can't kill me. Do you know who I am?” Damon yelled as he turned into a cloud of crimson mist, trying to escape from the Withered Castle.
”I don't care who you are. I must kill you today. Whoever stops me dies!”
Chen Fan's blade aura split the wave and broke a few layers of flagstones, then it went towards Damon with an unstoppable ferocity. Right before the blade aura would hit Damon… a dark shadow appeared in front of Chen Fan.
