Chapter 631: Decisive!
The purple mist rapidly contracted, forming a barrier of purple Qi at its edges. No matter how the Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples attacked, they could not pass through this purple Qi. In fact, under its corrosive influence, they seemed to lose a large amount of vital essence, becoming listless and even more frenzied.
One of the Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples even unleashed Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi, but it had no effect whatsoever and was instantly absorbed by the purple Qi.
Chen Long's expression changed drastically. He abruptly turned and urgently called out to Wang Lin, who was retreating, "Brother Wang, we are in crisis! Can your friend help?"
"Wang Lin, I didn't want to kill you so early, but since you've stumbled into this, no one can save you!" Greed Wolf's voice drifted in from outside the purple mist.
Wang Lin's eyes flashed, but he remained silent, immediately retreating. The surrounding purple mist was rapidly contracting at this moment; if he retreated too slowly, once the purple Qi at the edge corroded him, there might be danger.
"Fellow Daoist Wang!" The Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples also retreated quickly, Chen Long called out urgently.
"Fellow Daoist Chen Long, I can barely protect myself right now, let's not talk about this!" Wang Lin shook his head, his body instantly vanishing into the purple mist. Zhou Yi's immortal sword hovered beside him.
"You!" Chen Long's face darkened. He sighed, understanding that the Tian Yun Sect and their Great Luo Sword Sect were like fire and water; it was reasonable for the other party to be unwilling to act.
"It's all my fault for hesitating! If only I had made up my mind earlier to turn against Greed Wolf and used the Sword Qi bestowed by Master to fight him, I wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament!" A trace of regret flashed in Chen Long's eyes.
But he also understood that even if he used Master's Sword Qi, Greed Wolf was, after all, a Senior expert, and he wasn't unaware of Master's Sword Qi's existence. He had probably made preparations long ago. In that case, the outcome would be uncertain, and it was highly likely that all his Junior Brothers, except himself, would perish.
To pay such a price for a mere suspicion, that was why he had hesitated for a hundred years, always lacking decisiveness!
At this moment, the purple mist rapidly contracted. In an instant, it had shrunk by nearly ten times. As the purple mist contracted, the purple Qi at its edge grew denser, and the Great Luo Sword Sect members continuously retreated.
"Wang Lin, if you don't leave now, even with my strength, it will be difficult to break out!" Zhou Yi's somewhat anxious voice echoed in Wang Lin's mind.
"Wait a little longer!" Wang Lin's eyes flickered. He stood within the mist, looking at the Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples in the distance, a cold glint in his eyes.
"Five people… four Ling Tianhou Sword Qi, five treasured swords…" The cold glint in Wang Lin's eyes intensified.
Chen Long's eyes showed sadness. He glanced at his Junior Brothers beside him, then closed his eyes. Suddenly, he snapped them open, a rare decisiveness appearing in his gaze!
"All Junior Brothers… I'm sorry! I truly am powerless…" Chen Long gritted his teeth, quickly pointing his right hand at his glabella. Immediately, a red glow emanated from his glabella, transforming into Sword Qi.
This was Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi, but it was several times denser than the Sword Qi of Zi Rat and the others that Wang Lin had seen before. In fact, it was not even on the same Rank!
This Sword Qi was Ling Tianhou's Innate Sword Qi, formed from his Primordial Spirit after refining the Four Minor Heavens and nurtured within his heart. The Sword Qi of the other eleven Sword Zodiac Disciples, however, was merely a casual wave from Ling Tianhou; the difference between the two was too vast!
It was precisely because he possessed this Sword Qi that Chen Long felt regret, regretting that he hadn't acted decisively!
As soon as the Sword Qi appeared, the rapidly contracting purple mist around them immediately slowed down. Greed Wolf, outside the purple mist, also revealed a cold glint in his eyes. He had long noticed that something was off about Chen Long, and reality confirmed his suspicions.
Chen Long sighed. With the Sword Qi upon him, he instantly charged towards the purple Qi. The moment he touched the purple Qi, a series of 'bang bang' sounds erupted, like intense friction, and Chen Long's entire body even seemed to ignite with flames!
Finally, the purple Qi swirled, revealing a tiny gap. Driven by the Sword Qi, Chen Long immediately Broke through and emerged. It wasn't that he didn't want to bring some Junior Brothers with him, but his analysis showed that if he brought even one more person, he would have no chance of successfully breaking out.
The moment Chen Long rushed out, the purple mist immediately became completely dense, rapidly contracting. Inside, it was a sea of purple, and those outside could not see any changes within, nor could any sound penetrate the purple mist.
The four Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples inside each showed despair. Horse roared angrily, "Three Junior Brothers, since things have come to this, why despair? I know that Wang Lin is also inside. Three Junior Brothers, help me kill this person and fulfill one of my regrets!"
As soon as these words were spoken, killing intent emanated from the other three Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples. Yes, since they were all going to die, before they died, they should kill that Tian Yun Sect member. If it weren't for this person's appearance, perhaps they would have had a glimmer of hope.
"Wang Lin, why aren't you leaving yet?!" Zhou Yi's voice almost roared in Wang Lin's mind.
"Senior, with your Sword Sense, help me locate those four!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed, his figure like lightning. Within this purple mist, where Divine Sense could not penetrate, he was like a ghost.
"Wang Lin, in ten breaths, even if you resist, I will take you away!" As Zhou Yi sent out his Divine Thought, his Sword Sense swept out, locking onto the four Great Luo Sword Sect members within the rapidly contracting purple mist!
Wang Lin's speed was like lightning, heading straight for one of them. This person's cultivation was the weakest, only at the Nascent Soul Transformation Middle Stage. His scattered Divine Sense was ineffective, making him like someone deaf and blind in this place.
The moment Wang Lin approached, this person only felt a gust of clear wind, but immediately, this gentle breeze turned into a chilling wind, carrying away his head!
Wang Lin held the head, which contained the person's Primordial Spirit, collected the person's treasured sword, and rushed to the next target.
Si Snake controlled his treasured sword, his heart filled with vexation and despair. He opened his eyes wide, but could only see within seven chi; beyond that, it was a sea of purple mist.
Suddenly, his vision blurred, as if he saw a figure flash by.
"Who!" Si Snake's heart trembled. His treasured sword immediately flew out of his hand, straight into the mist. But, at the moment his treasured sword left his hand, a cold palm pressed against the back of his neck. Si Snake felt his Primordial Spirit tremble, and the vitality within his body instantly drained away. After a scream, he turned into a dried corpse.
However, at the moment of his death, the Ling Tianhou Sword Qi within his body suddenly erupted, collapsing along with his body.
Horse's eyes were bloodshot. After losing his treasured sword, he harbored a deep hatred for Wang Lin. At this moment, he simply threw caution to the wind. He circulated Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi, ready to release it without hesitation at the slightest disturbance.
Just then, the mist in front of him churned, as if someone was rushing towards him. Horse's eyes showed ferocity as he roared, "Wang Lin, die!"
He was about to release the Ling Tianhou Sword Qi in his hand when suddenly, his Junior Brother Xu Dog's voice came from the mist ahead.
"Senior Brother, it's me!"
Horse paused, retracting his right hand that was about to release the Sword Qi. Just as he was about to speak, an arm silently reached out from the mist beside him, its index finger pointing at Horse's glabella.
Horse's eyes bulged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with unwillingness. His Sword Qi had just been retracted, and when he tried to release it again, he no longer had the chance.
Just as the ten breaths were up, Zhou Yi forcibly took Wang Lin, transforming into a sword light, and rushed out of the purple mist!
"What a pity, still one short!" Wang Lin sighed inwardly.
Of the four Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples, counting the previous one, Wang Lin only took three swords, plus two Sword Qi!
If it weren't for the pervasive purple mist, coupled with the four people being trapped for a hundred years and becoming irritable, and seeing Chen Long leave, they were waiting for death here, with despair almost causing them to collapse—these various reasons allowed Wang Lin to achieve such results within a mere ten breaths! Even so, one person still successfully activated their Sword Qi. Fortunately, Wang Lin was prepared; otherwise, he would definitely have been injured.
If it were in another location and with different initial conditions, facing four Great Luo Sword Sect Disciples with Ling Tianhou's Sword Qi, Wang Lin could only retreat! He wasn't afraid of these four people, but he was extremely wary of that Sword Qi.
Zhou Yi witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and a hint of admiration for Wang Lin arose from the depths of his heart. This Wang Lin acted boldly and decisively; if it were anyone else, they would probably have been thinking of leaving as quickly as possible, with no time to consider other matters.
He didn't know that this matter was truly nothing compared to when Wang Lin, in the Devil Cultivation Sea, decisively snatched and carried away the蛟龙's body the moment it died and fell into the Sinkhole.
The mist rapidly contracted, now less than a hundred zhang in size.
Outside the purple mist, Chen Long's face was grim. The Ling Tianhou Sword Qi in his hand emitted a dazzling light. Around him, countless Mosquito Beasts surrounded him, their roars continuously echoing as they engaged in a life-and-death struggle with him.
"Greed Wolf, I'd like to see how you'll explain this to my Master later!"
Greed Wolf stood in the distance, surrounded by dense swarms of Mosquito Beasts. These Mosquito Beasts were extremely violent, with fierce glints in their eyes. If it weren't for the constant roars emanating from within the beast horde, they would have pounced, regardless of whether it was Greed Wolf or not!
Even though he controlled the Beast King and indirectly controlled the beast horde, Greed Wolf dared not get too close to these Mosquito Beasts. These Mosquito Beasts had savage natures and could simply not be tamed; a slight carelessness could lead to a backlash.
If there were only a few, he wouldn't care. Even a hundred wouldn't be a big deal. Even a thousand would only make his expression change drastically. But the Mosquito Beasts here numbered no less than ten thousand!
Given this, how could he not feel his scalp tingle? Even when controlling them, he was extremely cautious!
"When your Master learns of this, I will have my own explanation. Besides, whether he can learn of it is another matter!"
Just then, Wang Lin's figure rushed out from the purple mist, treading on an immortal sword, dense Sword Qi whistling.
Wang Lin's appearance immediately caused a cold glint to flash in Greed Wolf's eyes. He sneered, his mind stirring. Instantly, the roars within the beast horde abruptly changed, and a large group of Mosquito Beasts roared out, heading straight for Wang Lin.
Greed Wolf snorted coldly. He didn't intend to kill Wang Lin directly but planned to extract his Primordial Spirit to interrogate him about Situ Nan's whereabouts. The moment he saw Wang Lin outside the East Sea Demon Spirit, he immediately detected a trace of Situ Nan's aura on him!
Wang Lin looked at the Mosquito Beasts howling and pouncing towards him, a strange look in his eyes.
At this very instant, a louder, sharper roar suddenly erupted from within the Mosquito Beast horde. This sound completely overshadowed the previous roars. Simultaneously, a purple-tinged figure rushed out, heading directly for Wang Lin. This dark figure was Wang Lin's Mosquito Beast!
