Chapter 14661 Fighting for Treasure
Qin Mu was filled with emotion.
This kid's strength is much deeper than he imagined!
Fortunately, he was on the side of Broken Boundary Mountain.
"Senior Qin, the time has come! Go all out!"
Ling Xiao's telepathic message, as subtle as a mosquito's buzz, quietly entered Qin Mu's mind.
Without further hesitation, Qin Mu roared, his voice booming like thunder: "Everyone, follow me and kill!"
Before he finished speaking, lightning and fire surged around him, and his bronze halberd transformed into a stunning crimson rainbow, carrying a world-destroying power as it launched a fierce attack on Li Cangshan!
Seeing this, the other experts from Breaking Boundaries Mountain were invigorated. Their previously listless fighting spirit instantly revived, and they followed closely behind, their attacks suddenly becoming several times more intense, each move a desperate struggle!
Li Cangshan swung his sword, deflecting the halberd's edge, sparks flying everywhere. He sternly warned those behind him, "Beware of that lurking rat! Stay alert, or you'll fall into his trap!"
The two sides clashed again, but this time, the members of the Sword Star Temple were clearly restrained and could no longer launch their attacks as recklessly as before.
Everyone had to devote most of their attention to guarding against the deadly attack that could come from anywhere, which greatly reduced the power of the sword formation.
About half an hour later.
"ah.!"
A bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out from the battle!
A Sword Saint Hall Sword Cultivator was locked in combat with a Breaking Boundary Mountain expert. Just as he was about to unleash half of his sword move, a sphere of demonic intent wrapped in bone-chilling cold suddenly emerged from the void behind him and slammed straight into his back!
He realized it was too late; his protective aura was pierced through as easily as paper, and the demonic sphere passed right through his chest! A chilling, deathly power instantly swept over his body, freezing his meridians and causing his life force to rapidly ebb away; he couldn't even manage a proper scream.
Just as his soul attempted to break free of his body and escape, it was forcibly pulled back by a terrifying suction force and instantly devoured. It was Ling Xiao who activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, refining the soul and body together!
The moment he succeeded, Ling Xiao's aura merged back into the void, disappearing without a trace, as if he had never existed.
Another person was instantly killed!
The remaining six Sword Star Sanctuary experts' expressions finally changed completely, their eyes revealing undisguised fear. This deadly threat lurking in the darkness was far more unsettling than a powerful enemy confronted head-on; the sword constantly hanging over their heads was the most nerve-wracking!
"Form ranks! Retreat!" Li Cangshan made a decisive move, forcing Qin Mu back with a single sword strike. His sword aura surged, and he prepared to lead everyone away from the battlefield. If they dragged it out any longer, they would only be devoured one by one by Ling Xiao lurking in the shadows!
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and did not order a desperate pursuit. The losses on Pojie Mountain's side were also extremely heavy, and they were already at their last gasp. If they were forced into a desperate counterattack, they would likely pay an even greater price, which would be a losing proposition.
Just then, Ling Xiao's figure coalesced beside Qin Mu like a wisp of smoke.
His expression was grave, and his tone was urgent and resolute:
"Senior Qin! I just secretly sensed with a secret technique that the aura of the Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword... was faintly emanating from Li Cangshan! We absolutely cannot let them go! Once they take the treasure back to the Sword Star Holy Hall, there will be no chance to reclaim it!"
The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword?!
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu's eyes suddenly shone like stars, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart vanished instantly. He roared fiercely, "Stop them! The treasure is on this thief!"
The powerful figures of Broken Realm Mountain, who had already been considering retreating, were instantly energized upon hearing the words "Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword," their eyes bursting with an intense, almost frenzied light!
His spiritual energy surged wildly, and his injuries seemed to have healed by more than half. He rushed towards the people of the Sword Star Holy Hall without regard for anything else!
So what if we perish together? As long as we can obtain the Demon Sword, it's all worth it!
In the distance, Li Cangshan was leading his men in a rapid escape when the void before him suddenly rippled. A massive, ancient sword silhouette, shrouded in the phantom of mountains and seas, flashed by – the very phantom of the Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword!
Li Cangshan's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, his mind went blank, and he was completely stunned. The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword? How could it appear out of thin air?!
Before he could think further, Qin Mu and the others charged in like mad tigers. Li Cangshan instinctively reached out and grabbed at the illusory figure, immediately feeling a heavy weight in his palm. He had actually caught the "demon sword" in his hand!
To the people of Broken Realm Mountain behind him, this action was tantamount to confirming Ling Xiao's words!
"Hand over the treasure!"
"Leave the Demon Sword behind!"
The roar shook the heavens and the earth, and countless attacks poured down like a torrential rain, completely blocking the retreat of the Sword Star Sanctuary members.
Li Cangshan instantly realized he had been tricked! But he was speechless, given no chance to explain! He could only grit his teeth and roar, "Break through! Return to the sect at all costs!"
He took the initiative to cover the rear, and his dark longsword erupted with overwhelming killing intent, its sword force like a prison, attempting to block the pursuers.
However, at that moment, even more powerful auras rose from the depths of Broken Realm Mountain! Figures tore through space, joining the encirclement. These were none other than the reclusive cultivators of Broken Realm Mountain who had previously remained on the sidelines!
The Demon Lord's Black Heaven Sword might be right before their eyes; they could no longer sit idly by! How could they allow the Sword Star Sanctuary to take away such a supreme treasure?
When three auras no weaker than Qin Mu locked onto Li Cangshan and his group, the hearts of everyone in the Sword Star Holy Hall sank to the bottom.
There's no way out!
With a resolute look in his eyes, Li Cangshan shoved a seemingly ordinary storage jade pendant from his waist into Luo Qiu's hand, and shouted through divine sense, "Take it! Be sure to report this matter back to the sect, at all costs!"
Luo Qiu nodded emphatically, a hint of tragic determination flashing in his eyes. He formed a sharp sword formation with the remaining four sword cultivators, gathered all his spiritual power, and charged fiercely toward the weakest point in the encirclement, attempting to forcibly tear open a gap.
"Trying to leave?" A red-haired old man who had just arrived sneered, raising his hand to unleash a Heaven-Burning Palm Sword, the flames soaring to the sky, instantly sealing off the gap.
Li Cangshan roared, neither dodging nor avoiding, his essence blood instantly burning into crimson flames. He merged with the longsword, transforming into a blood-red sword beam that traversed the starry sky, carrying the determination to perish together with it, and directly confronted the Burning Heaven Palm Sword!
boom.!!!
With a deafening roar, Li Cangshan staggered backward, spitting out blood, his breath instantly weakening. But the red-haired old man was also jolted by this brutal blow, his attack momentarily slowing.
In that instant, Luo Qiu and the others seized the opportunity, broke through a gap, and fled into the distance.
"They're stalling for time!" Ling Xiao's voice transmission rang urgently and clearly in Qin Mu and the other leaders' minds again. "The reinforcements from the Sword Star Sanctuary must be on their way. We must act quickly, or things might get complicated!"
Qin Mu suddenly realized, "That's right! The Sword Star Holy Hall has a deep foundation; they couldn't have sent only this many people!" He immediately shouted, "Everyone! They're delaying reinforcements! Go all out and seize the treasure first! As for the ownership of the treasure, we'll discuss that after the battle!"
These words instantly awakened everyone, and all hesitation and reservation vanished. An overwhelming attack was launched at Li Cangshan and the others without reservation, while at the same time, most of their strength was diverted to completely block Luo Qiu's retreat.
