Chapter 19: Storm Attack
let them fight. Only in this fierce struggle will their probability of breaking through to the Nirvana realm be higher.Likewise, for the Profound Void Realm cultivators venturing within the Tianshui S...On the official road, the convoy continued to advance.
"Good heavens, it was fine just a moment ago, and now look at this downpour! Some of the attendants grumbled."
"Take care to keep the other carriage safe and sound, make sure the rain doesn't get on the coffin."
"Yes!"
After giving his orders, Zhao Tianlei continued to chat with Pang Shan.
"Brother Pang Shan, if the Si family really sends a powerful expert over, could your Pang family introduce me to them at that time" Zhao Tianlei said.
“Well, are you going to the Situ family” Pang Shan glanced at Zhao Tianlei and then nodded. “Alright, I can help introduce you. Although the Situ family is discerning, Brother Tianlei, you’re a strong Void Breaker in the middle stage. Even if you join the Situ family, you can gain a certain status.”
Then Zhao Tianlei was delighted.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped in the rain.
"What's going on" Zhao Tianlei frowned.
"Master, someone is blocking the way ahead," a voice from inside the carriage said.
Zhao Tianlei slightly lifted the car curtain. Even in the heavy rain, he could see a man in black with a sword standing in the center of the official road ahead, wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
"Who dares to block our path" A trusted confidant riding a warhorse stepped forward from the carriage procession.
"Dare I ask, inside the carriage, is it Zhao Tianlei, Zhao Da-ye" A slightly hoarse voice came from beneath the wide-brimmed hat.
"Do you know my master" the confidant asked.
"Under the entrustment of Master Zhao Ling, I am here to bring a message to Lord Zhao from this sword-wielding man."
"Young Master Zhao Ling" The confidant was astonished.
"Could it be that Ling'er left any words before she died" Zhao Tianlei frowned inside the carriage.
But the swordsman who followed just smiled and said, “Master Zhao Ling came to me in a dream… In the depths of the underworld, he was lonely and desolate. He wanted Lord Zhao and Young Master Zhao to join him so that they could be reunited as a family!”
"Bold!"
The confidante was immediately furious.
Inside the carriage, Zhao Tianlei's eyes were also somewhat gloomy, "Where did this lunatic come from, kill him."
After he finished speaking, Zhao Tianlei pulled down the curtains.
On the official road, confidants were about to make a move, but Su Xin was apparently faster.
Here it is!
The longsword unsheathed, and spiritual energy swept out with it.
"The Tenth Level of Zhenwu"
As soon as Su Xinyi made his move, these confidants immediately saw that his cultivation was only at the True Martial Realm. They all burst into laughter.
"There are really some desperate ones, aren't there"
"Just a mere Zhenwu Realm, daring to come and assassinate us"
Ignorant of their impending doom
Most of the trusted advisors remained seated on their horses, showing no intention of fighting. It was the trusted advisor who had just spoken from the front who dismounted and rode towards him.
To be aware, Zhao Tianlei as the head of the Su family's guest disciples, himself was a cultivator at the middle stage of the Void Breaking Realm, and the trusted confidants around him were also extremely capable. The weakest among them had reached the Great Accomplishment of the Sea Transformation realm.
The confidant who is taking action now is Haidaocheng. Such cultivation would be like squashing an ant to kill a Zhenwu Realm expert, there's no difference.
But just as this confidant was about to clash with the swordsman in black...
"Forbidden Art, God Annihilation!"
Boom~~~~
Without any warning, the aura of the black-cloaked swordsman, who was only at the peak of the True Martial Tenth Realm, suddenly and incredibly skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, he leaped from the peak of the Tenth Realm to the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm, even approaching the level of the extreme of the Sea Transformation Realm.
Wow!
A flash of sword light erupted, instantly cleaving the loyalist who charged forward in two.
"What"
"This is…"
Those close confidantes who were just casually scoffing, are now all astounded.
A true martial arts tenth-level cultivator, whose cultivation base surged to the peak of the Sea Transformation realm in an instant
What kind of trick is this
"Oh no, he's hiding his true strength!"
"Let's do this together!"
Suddenly, over ten figures leaped down from the battlements at once.
There were thirteen figures in total, the weakest of whom had reached the great consummation of the Sea Transformation realm. In addition, there were four who had achieved the complete Sea Transformation realm, and one who had reached the peak level of the Sea Transformation realm.
All thirteen drew their weapons and attacked from different directions.
But beneath his wide-brimmed hat, Su Xin's eyes were icy and incredibly sharp.
"Once the God Annihilation Forbidden Technique is unleashed, I only have thirty breaths of time, before and after. Not a single moment can be wasted!"
"Kill!"
With a low growl, killing intent surged to the heavens.
Those thirteen confidants, who had been with Zhao Tianlei for years, knew each other well and worked together seamlessly. The thirteen of them joined forces to almost simultaneously block all of Su Xin's avenues.
If it were truly an ordinary peak of the Sea of Transformation, under the combined might of thirteen of them, it would likely be obliterated just by looking at it.
However, what they faced was Su Xin.
Hum~~
A hazy sword shadow suddenly flared bright.
The sword shadow was hazy, carrying with it a trace of an extraordinary and eerie power. This power was the artistic conception that Su Xin had comprehended.
This moment of ethereal beauty imbued Su Xin's sword with a soul, causing a qualitative transformation.
In just a moment, the hazy sword shadow mercilessly swept across the necks of thirteen people almost simultaneously.
Ha ha ha ha!! ~~
"Good, so fast!"
These thirteen confidants all had fear in their eyes, some even with mouths agape.
Even though it was thirteen of them who ganged up to kill the opponent, none of them were able to unleash their techniques before he died.
Immediately, thirteen figures fell to the ground at the same time.
After slaughtering thirteen of his confidants, Su Xin savagely swung his sword toward the carriage ahead.
Wow!
The ferocious sword shadow, imbued with a resolute aura, cleaved the carriage and horse in two.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures dashed out of the exploding carriage, landing on the nearby official road.
“This…”
Zhao Tianlei stood in front of Zhao Qing, staring at the corpses of his loyal followers lying on the ground, silent and lifeless. A trace of shock, impossible to conceal, flickered in his eyes.
He was very clear about the combat strength of these close confidants of his. Even if a common Void Breaking Realm expert joined forces with more than ten people, it would be difficult to kill them all in a short period of time.
Just now, in a mere instant, before he could even react to save them, all of his trusted confidants were killed.
...the visitor's strength....
"A master of the Void Realm, there's actually another one here" Su Xin was staring at the black-robed elder who had also landed on the official road.
This black-robed elder was clearly also a Void Breaker expert. His presence was something Su Xin hadn't anticipated before.
Although I don't know who he is, since he's mixed up with Zhao Tianlei, just kill him together!
Su Xin's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and then he took out an amulet from his waist. After injecting a trace of spiritual power into the amulet, he threw it towards the void in front of him.
The talisman, vanishing into nothingness in the void, yet possessed a peculiar power that spread outwards. At an incredible speed, it enveloped the entire surrounding space.
"Is this, prohibited"
"Oh no!"
Zhao Tianlei and Pang Shan's expressions both changed. They immediately sensed the presence of that invisible force around them.
"It's a ban on flying. Zhao Tianlei immediately understood."
Void Realm experts, compared to True Martial Realm and Transformation Sea Realm cultivators, possess not only a difference in strength but also a unique advantage: the ability to fly.
Su Xin wanted to kill Zhao Tianlei, so naturally he had to limit his ability. Therefore, before coming to assassinate him, he went to Chi Long Lou in advance and obtained a forbidden air talisman from Yuan Qing.
This Void Prohibition Talisman can, for a short period of time, prevent powerful void realm cultivators from flying in a certain area.
In terms of value, a Void-Ban Seal is slightly higher than the twenty top-grade Gathering Spirit Pills Su Xin had previously obtained, but it still falls within Su Xin's 'Earth Grade' authority range.
"Tian Lei, be careful. Since this person has prepared a means to restrict flight, they must have come prepared. We mustn't capsize in the dark, Brother."Pang Shan also looked serious at this moment.
"Well, let's do this together. Zhao Tianlei also nodded in agreement."
"Zhao Tianlei, you will die today!"
Su Xin let out a roar, his breath surging. He charged forward with his sword raised in one hand.
"Humph!"
Zhao Tianlei's eyes were cold, and in his hand appeared a thick greatsword. This sword must have weighed over a hundred catties. He held it with both hands, and his steps thundered forward like rolling drums.
The broadsword swung out wildly toward Su Xin, leaving layers of phantoms in the air. Its terrifying power crushed the air, causing a series of piercing sonic booms.
"As swift as thunder and fire!"
Su Xin's sword in his hand also slashed out smoothly, carrying a hint of artistic conception.
As the longsword swung, the power surging within his veins... From the awakening of his bloodline, even during his previous battle with Zhao Ling, his bloodline power had only been pushed to a maximum of seventy percent. But now, in this instant, he was pushing it to its absolute limit!
The land of the East Waste, an unprecedented supreme bloodline, the power of the bloodline fully unleashed... Displaying the Northern Azure Sword Art's attack with the strongest thunder and fire roll.
Boom!
Su Xin's sword struck the broadsword like a giant meteorite, unleashing a terrifying force that made both the blade and Zhao Tianlei's hand tremble.
A flash of astonishment crossed Zhao Tianlei's eyes, followed by a muffled grunt as he stumbled back, each step heavy and forceful, sending rain and mud flying. He retreated over ten steps before finally managing to steady himself.
And while Su Xinzhen was about to press his advantage, a black-robed figure appeared beside him like a ghost, a claw flashing like lightning toward his throat.
This Pang Shan seized the opportunity and made a ruthless attack, his speed was astonishingly fast.
"Die!"
Su Xin casually swung his sword, and in an instant, *whoosh whoosh*! Several sword shadows burst forth simultaneously in the air.
In the midst of torrential rain falling all around, it seemed like snowflakes were appearing.
Floating Snow Swordsmanship, Slashing Snow Style!
Under the guidance of that subtle aura, these 'snowflakes' moved at an incredible speed. Not only did they immediately repel the incoming claws, but the 'snowflake' sword shadows also enveloped Pang Shan entirely.
“This swordsmanship…” Pang Shan was terrified, only feeling that these incoming sword shadows were too fast, unbelievably fast.
He frantically blocked the sword shadows, but each one came faster than the last.
In the blink of an eye, ten sword shadows slashed past. When the eleventh sword shadow came, he was powerless to resist.
Poof!
The cold blade passed directly through his throat.
The powerful cultivator of the Void Realm, Elder Pang Shan of the Pang Clan... died!le, this is impossible!"Si Tu Bo Lei's voice was a little frantic.He couldn't believe this fact at all, he didn't dare to believe it either.Because of the feud between the Su family and the Situ famil...
