Chapter 2318 United and Devoted!
The creepy speech, spoken with her casual and relaxed tone, gave a weird but convincing feeling.
The three super experts at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage never felt as much pressure even when they were surrounded by a whole fleet before.
The black gas from below the ground and the dark clouds in the sky turned into vipers that crawled into every pore on their body.
“Kill her!”
His hair and beard exploding, Li Jiande roared desperately and in fear, “She is certainly not as strong as she appears, or she wouldn’t have needed to chatter on at all! As long as we remain united and devoted, we will certainly be able to kill her!”
“Can you?”
The four Divinity Transformation Stage experts, including Dongfang Sheng, were still hesitating. Li Linghai had already walked down from the top of the sharp stalagmite on the invisible stairs in the midair with a hideous smile.
Her every step in the midair was like a heavy drumming from the deepest level of hell. The rugged earth had even more cracks, and the dark clouds on the night sky were also rolling like dirty tides. All the stalagmites around were shrinking and shivering. Everyone’s heart seemed to be breaking out of the chest and escaping in a panic!
“Then, show me how good the new-generation Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium are after a thousand years!”
Li Linghai’s skin was still fair and translucent, but her fingernails had turned into the same astounding blackness. The black streaks also sprawled out along her fingerprints, donning her hands in a pair of glamorous and weird gloves.
She extended her right hand to “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi in a “crawl over now” gesture.
The lumps on “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi’s head suddenly expanded as if more than ten horns were rising high at the same time. His eyes were almost exploding when they released brilliance that was like swirls, before they collided with Li Linghai’s eyes brutally.
In the next moment, their vitality fields were all activated to the maximum.
It was a competition between “domains”, like two abysses staring at each other.
Everybody else could only see the air around them blurred and twisted, as if they were about to vanish from the three-dimensional universe into warped smoke.
Through the vague smoke, it could be seen that “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi’s face was gloomy. He was now angry, now gnashing his teeth, and now intimidated from the bottom of his heart, as if he were begging for mercy.
“Pu!”
After only one second of the collision of eyes, the few lumps on “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi’s forehead were already collapsing quickly, and he vomited blood hard. Staggering backward for a few steps, he looked as lethargic as if all his blood had been sucked up by Li Linghai.
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
As the two of them looked at each other and fought hard in their “domains”, “Star Breaker” Song Huanzhen had already injected all her spiritual energy into the thousands of “sword balls” around her. Those sword balls were all made of soft metals and liquid alloys, which had a high memory ability. Under the boost of spiritual energy, they were immediately unfolded into the narrow, sharp blades like willow leaves.
The surface of every narrow blade was glamorous and teeming with complicated spiritual stripes. As the blades passed each other, the sounds of wind and thunder were rising.
When the narrow blades were flying at the highest speed, boosted by Song Huanzhen with all of her strength, they could turn into metal torrents that could pierce through the thickest plate of the space warships.
Hardly had “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi backed off when Song Huanzhen’s swords rushed over like broken shooting stars. One third of them attacked Li Linghai’s hands, preventing her from retrieving any magical equipment, crystal suit, or Colossus. One third were aimed at her critical acupoints and body parts. The last one third blocked all the space around her where she could possibly dodge!
Any of the thousands of narrow blades that looked like willow leaves carried the speed and damage of the best flying sword. Their trajectories that were as unpredictable as mists almost suggested that a hundred most distinguished swordmasters were controlling them together. The chief tutor of sword arts of the Song family certainly deserved her name!
However, the moment when the swords were unleashed, the black dragons that hovered above everyone’s head gathered around Li Linghai, as if they were enshrouding her in an indestructible spiritual shield. When thousands of narrow blades hit the spiritual shields, they could not press any further but simply shivered nonstop.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
Song Huanzhen roared miserably. Thousands of electric arcs were triggered from her fingers and hit the rear of the narrow blades, allowing all the blades to be significantly brighter than just now.
But however she summoned her spiritual energy, it was impossible for her to pierce in. Many of the narrow blades were contorted from the back to the front into metal blocks, but they were still held back by Li Linghai’s spiritual shield.
Narrowing her eyes, Li Linghai shook her head and extended her hand at Song Huanzhen slowly. Then, she closed her hand hard, as if she were suffocating Song Huanzhen’s throat remotely.
Song Huanzhen bulged her eyes, and five black marks did appear on her neck. They were so deep that her throat seemed about to be torn apart and her neck was going to be broken!
Song Huanzhen’s face was immediately paler than that of a dead person. Not even having the time to scream, she hurried to retreat.
She did not have the faintest clue how the enemy’s strength penetrated her spiritual shield without being blocked. Naturally, she had no time to care about her narrow blades.
All the narrow blades fell to Li Linghai’s control. They were all thrown back at “Acyclic Earth” Yun Kuohai behind her.
While Yun Kuohai’s arts were the most masculine and straightforward ones, his combat style was stealthy and sordid. Seeing that Li Linghai was distracted by “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi and “Star Breaker” Song Huanzhen, he intended to sneak to Li Linghai’s back for an ambush.
But out of his expectation, Li Linghai had locked onto him since a long time ago. When thousands of sharp blades were thrown at him, their speed and their damage were as good as Song Huanzhen’s own performance. He hurried to dodge the attacks.
“What are you waiting for?”
Li Jiande howled, “Those who do not have a Colossus, stall her together with Yun Kuohai. The rest of you, activate your Colossus immediately!”
It actually only took several seconds for Li Linghai to force the three experts at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage to retreat. The Nascent Soul Stage experts at the edge did not realize what was going on until this moment. Then, they all activated their crystal suits and lunged at Li Linghai in sonic booms.
“You are rather bold for a few juniors in the Nascent Soul Stage!”
When dozens of Nascent Soul Stage experts rushed to Li Linghai like arrows, Li Linghai suddenly burst into laughter and raised her hands abruptly. From the cracks on the ground, countless high-pressure black gas erupted again.
There was no telling what foul and evil forces were hidden in the black gas, but when a few Nascent Soul Stage experts were hit by the black gas in their carelessness, not only were their spiritual shields collapsing immediately, even their crystal suits were blackened at a visible speed as if the crystal suits had contracted a virus. The dark forces leaked into the gaps of the crystal suits and corroded their skin and flesh, resulting in their painful screams.
Li Linghai took the opportunity to open her fingers and grab the helmets of the few experts in the Nascent Soul Stage, while she grinned hideously and declared, “You and your family shall all be executed!”
The helmet of a crystal suit was theoretically the unit with the toughest materials that offered the best protection.
Those experts in the Nascent Soul Stage were all powerful people too. Naturally, the crystal suits they were using were the best products. The helmets were so solid that even the full-strength blow from a crystal cannon that was stuck to their heads should’ve been offset.
However, Li Linghai’s remote grab left a few black marks on the helmets of those Nascent Soul Stage experts. The black marks seemed to be alive and groped for the gaps on the helmets in squeaky noises, before they found their way into the helmets in the end.
Everybody else could only hear the inhuman screams of the few victims coming over in the communication channel, followed by the noises of bone cracking. In the blink of an eye, the few experts fell down as if their bones had all been plucked.
Everybody was appalled. Their courage had already been diminished by the terrible scenes where Li Linghai defeated three experts at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage at first and broke the skulls of several experts in the Nascent Soul Stage on her own. They all thought to themselves, There are five experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage here. They can certainly take her down with their Colossi. Why do I have to get myself killed and even possibly involve my family in the trouble?
So many people are attacking her at the same time. Nobody can tell it if I slow down while I am in the middle of the crowd!
Since they were all in the Nascent Soul Stage, they were naturally specialists in controlling their speeds and postures. For a moment, all the experts slightly adjusted the power rune arrays of their crystal suits. Not only were they slowing down, but they also changed the directions of their sprinting. Instead of charging at Li Linghai, they tried to alter their routes so that they could hide behind somebody else.
If only one of them was doing that, it might be impossible to tell the difference.
However, since all of the experts in the Nascent Soul Stage were doing the same thing, it was almost like an aggressive tide suddenly lost momentum. Some people almost crashed into each other when they tried to hide behind each other’s back. It was rather awkward.
Even “Acyclic Earth” Yun Kuohai was no exception. Being at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage, if he had lunged at Li Linghai and stalled her without caring for anything, he would certainly have bought enough time for “Devilish Abyss” Li Jianyi and “Star Breaker” Song Huanzhen to retrieve their Colossi.
Or rather, if he were not afraid of sacrificing himself and fought Li Linghai in the spirit of dying together with the enemy, chances were that all the experts in the Nascent Soul Stage would lunge forward and settle Li Linghai once and for all.
But how was it possible to ask a high-level Immortal Cultivator like Yun Kuohai to devote themself selflessly?
The four Kurfürst families each had their own plans in the first place and only initiated the arrest under the persuasion of “Silver Fox” Li Jiande, even though many people within the four families did not second to Li Jiande’s opinion.
Yun Kuohai, Li Jianyi, Song Huanzhen, and Dongfang Sheng were half allies and half competitors in the first place. They thought that Li Linghai was at the high level of the Divinity Transformation Stage at best, and it wouldn’t be a problem for three experts at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage to suppress her together at all. The risks were not high, and the returns were copious. Therefore, they did not think that the mission was a big deal.
But as it turned out, Li Linghai was much stronger than expected. Why would Yun Kuohai sacrifice himself and let the Li family and the Song family take the advantage? Not a chance!
Therefore, “Acyclic Earth” Yun Kuohai did not care about “Silver Fox” Li Jiande’s roar asking him to stop Li Linghai. Instead, he simply retreated and summoned his own Colossus. It was certainly a top priority to summon his own Colossus in such a treacherous situation. As for the life and death of other people, was it his problem at all?
