Chapter 112 Attraction
Just as these two imperial members of the Diyuan Underworld Clan came out from the Diyuan,
Sun Xuan, who was deep within the dense forest, suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.
This fluctuation directly disturbed Sun Xuan's Divine Soul, giving Sun Xuan's Divine Soul a feeling of extreme hunger.
Even the Devouring Concept comprehended by Sun Xuan involuntarily leaked out through his body.
Sun Xuan's expression changed slightly, and then he tried his best to suppress the abnormal movement within his body.
On the starry sky giant ship, seeing that Sun Xuan's expression was somewhat abnormal, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan couldn't help but ask Sun Xuan,
"Fellow Daoist Sun, what is wrong?"
Hearing this, Sun Xuan forced a reluctant smile at the corner of his mouth and then said,
"It is nothing, I just suddenly thought of some matters.
Brother Lü, this Daoist has some matters to attend to outside. After handling them, I will return."
Hearing Sun Xuan's words, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan raised his eyebrows slightly and then said,
"Fellow Daoist Sun, you are now the Grand Elder of our Qianyuan Sect. If you encounter any difficulties, everyone in the Qianyuan Sect will definitely go all out to assist you.
If there is anything that requires Sect Master Lü Daoxuan to act, just speak up."
Looking at the sincerity in Sect Master Lü Daoxuan's eyes, Sun Xuan chuckled and said,
"Brother Lü can rest assured. If there is a need, this Daoist will definitely speak up.
It's just that my trip out this time is merely to handle some private matters, and there is no need to make a fuss for the time being."
Seeing that Sun Xuan was unwilling to say more, Sect Master Lü Daoxuan did not ask any further.
Seeing this, Sun Xuan raised his hand to give a Daoist salute slightly to Sect Master Lü Daoxuan, and then took a step forward, his figure slowly dissipating from the starry sky giant ship.
After leaving the starry sky giant ship, Sun Xuan's figure immediately flew straight toward the location of those two imperial members of the Diyuan Underworld Clan.
As for those two imperial members of Diyuan, they led the main force of the Diyuan Underworld Clan and headed rapidly toward the outer periphery of the dense forest.
Although the entire expeditionary force of the Diyuan Underworld Clan was consciously concealing their own Aura,
after all, whether it was the Destiny Star expeditionary Cultivator or the Cultivator of the Daluo Sword Sect, they knew nothing about the existence of the Diyuan Underworld Clan.
However, the fluctuations emitted by those two imperial members were, under Sun Xuan's perception, as bright as a lighthouse in the darkness.
Therefore, the entire team of the Diyuan Underworld Clan had nowhere to hide in Sun Xuan's eyes.
However, the distance between Sun Xuan and the main force of the Diyuan Underworld Clan was not close.
Even though Sun Xuan's speed was not slow, for a moment, he could not catch up with the group of Cultivators of the Diyuan Underworld Clan for the time being.
Meanwhile, during this period of time, the Diyuan Underworld Clan found several Cultivators of the Daluo Sword Sect.
In a large swamp within the dense forest, three Cultivators of the Daluo Sword Sect, leading dozens of subordinate Soul Transformation Cultivators, were slowly flying above the swamp.
"Wei Yang, I think Jiuyou Palace should have detected our existence.
In just these few days, we have already encountered several waves of Jiuyou Palace Cultivators searching around for something.
Dragon also asked us to break down into smaller units, hide everywhere, and avoid direct conflicts with the Destiny Star Cultivators.
In my view, this is merely deceiving oneself and others.
It would be better to concentrate our superior forces to completely clip the wings of those of Jiuyou Palace,
and then directly engage in a decisive battle with Jiuyou Palace.
Eliminating this group of Destiny Star Cultivators early and completing Patriarch Lingtian's task would allow us to return to the Daluo Sword Sect sooner.
Staying every day in this bird-forsaken Barren Planet delays our progress in Cultivate too much!"
One of the leading Daluo Sword Sect Cultivators complained to another Cultivator named Wei Yang.
Hearing this, the Daluo Sword Sect Cultivator named Wei Yang's expression changed slightly, and he sternly reprimanded the Cultivator who had just complained:
"Mao Tu, have you grown tired of living?!
You even dare to discuss Dragon's orders behind his back.
With your current Middle Stage Soul Formation stage cultivation, among the Twelve Sword Zodiacs, you are at the very bottom.
In Patriarch Lingtian's heart, you probably don't have much status either.
Once Dragon dislikes you, whether you can keep your position as Mao Tu is a matter of debate!"
Hearing Wei Yang's reprimand, Mao Tu's face turned slightly pale, and then he lowered his head somewhat speechless, not daring to say anything more.
Among the Twelve Sword Zodiacs, the one Patriarch Lingtian valued most was Dragon.
In fact, only Dragon was truly cultivated as a Disciple by Marquis Lingtian.
As for the others among the Twelve Sword Zodiacs, even Chou Niu, whose cultivation had reached the Middle Stage of Asking Peak,
was merely holding the title of a Disciple under Marquis Lingtian.
Therefore, for Marquis Lingtian, as long as the title of the Twelve Sword Zodiacs remained, that was fine.
Aside from Dragon, who actually held the other positions among the Twelve Sword Zodiacs didn't matter at all.
One can imagine how great Dragon's prestige was among the Twelve Sword Zodiacs.
As long as Dragon wanted to, replacing him as Mao Tu was merely a matter of a single sentence.
As long as he reported it to Marquis Lingtian afterward, Marquis Lingtian would definitely not bother to inquire about such trivial matters.
Just as Mao Tu and Wei Yang were talking, another leading figure who had been quiet suddenly became somewhat alert in his eyes.
Wei Yang noticed the unusual look in this leader's eyes and immediately asked softly,
"Xugou, what is wrong?"
Hearing this, Xugou said with a somewhat solemn expression,
"The atmosphere in the surrounding environment is somewhat wrong.
You know that I have practiced an Aura-sensing Divine Ability.
Under the sensing of this Divine Ability, I found that in the surrounding environment, there is an extremely concealed Killing Intent slowly closing in on us."
Hearing this, Wei Yang and Mao Tu's expressions changed instantly, and the three of them exchanged glances.
Each saw a hint of solemnity in the other's eyes.
Right at this moment, a soft sound of applause rang out within the silent swamp.
Following closely, a mocking voice sounded from the direction where the applause came from:
"Outsiders, your sensing is not bad; you are indeed surrounded.
Unfortunately, there is no reward!"
Hearing this, Xugou's expression changed drastically as he said,
"What kind of thing is hiding in the dark playing ghosts, get the Hell out!"
As Xugou spoke, he struck out with a palm toward the direction where the voice came from.
Following closely, a large black dog immediately rushed out from Xugou's palm.
The Demonic Qi rolling off the large black dog surged out, rushing towards the source of the voice at extreme speed like a demon breaking out of Hell.
"Yinshen Zhen!"
After the large black dog rushed out, a figure suddenly appeared from the direction where the large black dog charged.
This figure was none other than the Third Prince of the Diyuan Underworld Clan.
The Third Prince cast a cold glance at the charging large black dog, then flicked his finger gently towards it.
A rapidly vibrating green stream of light immediately rushed toward the large black dog.
The moment the Third Prince made his move, an Aura pressure comparable to the Early Stage of Asking Peak suddenly leaked from the Third Prince's body.
At this moment, the green stream of light fiercely collided with the large black dog.
The charging large black dog fluctuated violently all over for a moment before suddenly shattering apart.
Seeing this, the expression on Xugou's face instantly became even more gloomy.
"Wei Yang, Mao Tu, the enemy's strength is not weak. Just the leader alone has the strength of the Asking Peak Realm.
It is simply not something the few of us can contend against.
Later, the three of us will use the Three Talents Sword Array to temporarily entangle with that leader. When the time comes, find an opportunity, and run as many as can!"
The cultivation of both Xugou and Wei Yang was at the Great Perfection of the Late Stage Soul Formation stage.
As for Mao Tu's cultivation, it was slightly lower, only at the Middle Stage Soul Formation stage.
Regardless of who among the three of them was in a one-on-one situation, they would not be a match for the Third Prince, who already possessed the strength of the Early Stage Asking Peak.
Although the Third Prince's Early Stage Asking Peak cultivation had an unspeakable sense of weirdness,
as if it were caused by a mismatch between his Physique and the Cultivation Technique he practiced.
But if anyone could carefully observe the Third Prince's current state, they would discover
that the Third Prince's Asking Peak Realm cultivation seemed to have been bestowed by the half-black, half-white circular mark at the center of his brow.
Without this half-black, half-white circular mark, the Third Prince's cultivation would at most be at the Great Perfection of the Late Stage Soul Formation stage like Wei Yang.
However, regardless of how it was boosted, Asking Peak is Asking Peak; it is simply not something three ordinary Soul Formation stage Cultivators can resist.
However, Wei Yang and the other two still had a unique skill, which was to use the precious swords bestowed upon them by Marquis Lingtian to form the Three Talents Sword Array.
These precious swords and sword array were personally researched and created by Marquis Lingtian.
Standing on high, once these three small Soul Formation stage Cultivators deployed this Three Talents Sword Array, their strength would immediately experience a leap-growth.
Although with the cultivation of the Soul Formation stage, it was still not enough to unleash the full power of these precious swords and the Three Talents Sword Array,
it was still sufficient to temporarily confront an Early Stage Asking Peak Cultivator.
At this moment, the army of the Diyuan Underworld Clan no longer hid.
Under the leadership of the Seventh Prince, they swarmed in and killed towards Wei Yang and the other Cultivators from all directions of this swamp region.
Seeing this situation, the expressions of Wei Yang and the other two instantly became even uglier.
They could not figure out why, besides the various Destiny Star Cultivators, there were still so many forces unknown to them lurking in the dark.
The three of them were planning to immediately report everything that happened here to Dragon after escaping the encirclement.
"Do it!
Everyone else, form the Da Luo Sword Array and break out with all your might!"
As soon as the words fell, Wei Yang, Xugou, and Mao Tu each sacrificed a precious sword flickering with cold light.
A purple evil sheep, a black demonic dog, and a cyan shady rabbit immediately emerged from the precious swords.
These were the sword souls of the three precious swords, each possessing bizarre and unfathomable might.
Once the sword souls came out, driven by Wei Yang and the other two, the Auras of the three precious swords connected with each other, forming a pin-shaped sword array, and stabbed toward the Third Prince at extreme speed.
Seeing this, a chilling glint flashed through the Third Prince's eyes, and he said softly with Killing Intent fully revealed:
"Overestimating your capabilities!"
As the words fell, the Third Prince gently raised his hands upward, and the immense pressure of the Asking Peak Realm immediately spread out to the surroundings without reservation.
Streaks of extremely thick green mist rapidly permeated from the Third Prince's body.
In the blink of an eye, this purple mist condensed into a huge poisonous python and fiercely charged toward the incoming Three Talents Sword Array.
"Boom!"
After a heaven-shaking loud noise, the poisonous python, the Three Talents Sword Array, and the three sword spirits of the sheep, dog, and rabbit collided fiercely together.
The Three Talents Sword Array and the three zodiac precious swords were indeed fine products crafted by Marquis Lingtian.
Under a single strike, the poisonous python condensed by the Third Prince with Divine Ability actually collapsed directly.
However, Wei Yang and the other two also did not have it easy.
Wei Yang and Xugou were fine, their complexions only turning slightly pale.
But Mao Tu, who had the lowest cultivation, under the intense rebound force, had a trickle of bright red blood flow directly from the corner of his mouth.
The sword spirit of the Mao Tu precious sword controlled by him became slightly scattered the moment Mao Tu's magic power could no longer sustain it.
Its linkage with the two precious swords of Xugou and Wei Yang also became sluggish.
Seeing this, a sharp glint instantly flashed through the Third Prince's eyes.
Following closely, the Third Prince's hand seals changed, and the wisps of green mist scattered by the poisonous python immediately condensed into three mist ropes.
In a flash, they bound the three sword spirits respectively, and then fiercely pulled towards three directions.
Under the blessing of the Third Prince's Divine Ability, due to Mao Tu's momentary lack of magic power, the Three Talents Sword Array was instantly broken.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Wei Yang and the other two's expressions changed drastically. They could no longer care about bombarding the Third Prince of the Diyuan Underworld Clan with the Three Talents Sword Array.
Instead, after casually throwing out a few Divine Abilities towards the Third Prince to slightly obstruct him, the three of them didn't even have time to retrieve their zodiac precious swords, and directly turned around and ran.
As for those Soul Transformation Cultivators under their command, although they formed the Da Luo Sword Array,
under the leadership of the Seventh Prince, a Late Stage Soul Formation stage Cultivator, they were still killed into chaos and turned upside down.
Coupled with the pursuit and interception of the large group of ordinary Diyuan Underworld Clan, after just a moment, the dozens of Soul Transformation Cultivators under Wei Yang and the other two were almost completely slaughtered.
However, by now Wei Yang and the other two were barely protecting themselves; they had long since stopped caring about the casualties of their subordinate Cultivators.
"Running?
Can you run away?!"
The Third Prince wore a gloomy expression, and immediately without another word, his figure chased after Wei Yang and the other two.
After leading the main force to annihilate the Cultivators under Wei Yang and the other two, the Seventh Prince immediately intercepted Wei Yang and the other two.
Mao Tu had the weakest strength and had suffered a slight injury earlier in the hard collision with the Third Prince.
Therefore, when the Third Prince pursued with all his might, he was the first to be caught up with.
"Outsider, die!"
A palm fiercely imprinted onto Mao Tu's back.
Mao Tu's Protective Aura was like thin paper, instantly shattered.
The remaining might of the palm did not diminish, fiercely blasting onto Mao Tu's physical body.
A mouthful of fresh blood instantly spewed wildly from Mao Tu's mouth.
The internal organs inside his body were completely shattered under this palm.
Even his Primordial Spirit was completely shattered under the strangulation of wisps of green, chilling magic power penetrating into his body.
Mao Tu, one of the Twelve Sword Zodiacs, thus died at the hands of the indigenous Cultivators of the Barren Planet.
After slapping Mao Tu to death with a palm, the Third Prince did not stop his steps and immediately pursued and killed the remaining two, Wei Yang, who were entangled with the Seventh Prince and the others.
