671 Heaven Crystal Shows Its Power! (1/2)
Shick!
A barely audible sound of air being torn rose. Since it was extremely quick, it gave people the feeling that it was fake. When the people heard the swiftly leaving sound, quite a number of them who were fighting fiercely at the back gate of Heaven Shaker Fortress saw a silver light in the horizon.
It seemed like a star that vanished the next moment!
”What is that?”
The people at the front door of Heaven Shaker Fortress noticed the speck of light that looked like an illusion, but they could not see it clearly, and it did not seem real as well.
But a few angry shouts that were incredibly exasperated and sounded like a clap of thunder rose from the direction of Sword Crafting Hall.
”Luo, you bastard!”
”You're so despicable! How could you use Ward Sword Art to throw Heaven Crystal away?!”
The people who shouted in anger were Malicious Spirit of Four Cloud Range Immortals and enshrined elder of the Nangong Clan!
They had thought that the Sword Sect Master would use Heaven Crystal to kill Malicious Spirit. Malicious Spirit was even prepared to face him by retreating slightly further away.
He did not expect that the Sword Sect Master would throw Heaven Crystal away at full force. It shot into the horizon like a flash of lightning. Its momentum was astonishing, and the speed was shocking to behold.
They were stunned. When they reacted to the situation, they charged out of Sword Crafting Hall, but they only saw a silver layer of sparkles in the distance. They simply could not see the specific location of where Heaven Crystal went to.
The Sword Sect Master, who was injured by Heaven Crystal, laughed loudly.
”Clan Master Bei, this time, you owe me one! Remember it!”
Once he finished speaking, he turned around and shot out of Sword Crafting Hall, then ran in the opposite direction at the speed of lightning.
”Bastard!”
”Don't you dare run!”
The old man from the Nangong Clan was incredibly angry. Heaven Crystal was small, and it was incredibly sharp. It might have fallen to some spot underground when the Sword Sect Master threw it, and even if he tried to search for it, he did not know the precise location. He could only follow after the Sword Sect Maste. It was the only possibility for seizing Heaven Crystal back.
”Don't let that bastard Luo run!”
Malicious Spirit followed tightly behind him. With a shout, the other three of the Four Cloud Range Immortals forced back their enemies without hesitation and ran to the front gate of Heaven Shaker Fortress.
Bei Xiao and the others chased after them for a while. When they saw those fiends run out of Heaven Shaker Fortress without turning back, their eyes became fierce, and they looked toward the numerous men in armor outside the fortress.
”Kill them!”
*****
Thud!
A faint sound of air being sliced reached Happy's ears. It was the sound of an object that was cutting through the air decelerating.
Within the area of his spiritual senses, he saw an incredible light that was accompanied with an exceptionally domineering sword qi stabbing into a wall of the col. It brought about great shock to Happy.
Even though it lasted only for a short while, the clear and sharp sound of air being pierced, along with the domineering sword qi that was unique to Heaven Crystal still caused Happy to immediately register what was going on.
Heaven Crystal!
*****
”It's here!”
”The sect master succeeded!”
”Take action now!”
The group of Sword Sect elites surrounding the bonfire while they meditated in the cold were the first to notice Heaven Crystal's arrival. Their faces were filled with excitement, and they got up quickly before they ran to the wall where Heaven Crystal was stuck.
”Damn it, it's too deep.”
Since the strength with which the Sword Sect Master's had thrown Heaven Crystal was too great and the weapon was sharp, it buried itself deep into the wall. The group even lost sight of it.
Since they were not too far away from Heaven Shaker Fortress, the group did not dare to be idle. Sword qi raged in the air while they madly cut away at the small hole where Heaven Crystal had buried itself.
When a few Inaction Realm martial artists attacked together, stones flew everywhere from the wall. Soon, they dug out a hole that was several feet deep.
As the depth increased, the sword qi from Heaven Crystal became even stronger.
”We have to hurry.”
”Have two people go outside to scout. Don't let anyone come here.”
When the hole was thirty-two feet deep, the wall suddenly collapsed, destroying most of their work. One of the men became so frustrated that he became incredibly gloomy. He quickly turned his head around to give some orders.
