Chapter 14659 The Best Thing is a Defeat for Both Sides
Chapter 14659 It's Best for Both Sides to Suffer Losses
The seven people who accompanied Li Cangshan this time were all elites of the Guardian Hall. The Guardian Hall specializes in conquest and is the sharpest weapon of the Sword Star Holy Hall against the outside world! The meaning behind their full mobilization is self-evident.
However, Luo Qiu, who went to Broken Boundary Mountain that day, did not accompany them. The reason is unknown.
Li Cangshan gazed in the direction of Broken Boundary Mountain, his eyes icy cold, his voice like ten thousand years of ice, devoid of any warmth: "There must be something fishy about this! Someone is deliberately framing our sect! And the most suspicious person is Ling Xiao!"
A cold-faced sword cultivator behind him frowned and couldn't help but speak up: "But Ling Xiao is only at the Great Sun Realm... Does he really have such ability to devise such a sophisticated deception?"
"Don't underestimate him!" Li Cangshan interrupted him, his tone grave.
"This boy has crossed realms to kill several Emperor Realm experts, and even some Breaking Realm experts! He is no ordinary person! Moreover, the Demon Lord Black Sky Sword seems to have a deep connection with him."
"If he is involved with the treasure, it's not entirely impossible that he plots to steal it and frame our sect! Moreover, he is also a swordsman, which would make it even easier to confuse the public!"
"Elder Li is absolutely right."
A voice suddenly came, and Luo Qiu's figure slowly appeared, bowing slightly to Li Cangshan.
He continued:
"This young man is cunning and unpredictable, far from being as simple as he appears. He deliberately lured the news of the treasure to Broken Boundary Mountain, hoping to use us as bait and watch us fight against Broken Boundary Mountain so he can profit from the conflict. However... we lack conclusive evidence."
"Evidence?" Li Cangshan scoffed, his laughter filled with disdain and arrogance. "What need is there for evidence! The swords of my Sword Star Sanctuary are the evidence!"
His eyes suddenly sharpened, flashing with a cold light: "Regardless of whether Ling Xiao possesses the Demon Sword, those from Pojie Mountain who dared to attack and kill our sect's disciples must pay a bloody price! Whether there was a scheme behind it, or whether they were set up, is no longer important! What matters is that our sect's people are dead!"
How could our sect's disciples die in vain?!
Luo Qiu remained silent, head bowed. He knew in his heart that things had come to this point, and regardless of any misunderstandings, there was no turning back. The majesty of the Sword Star Sanctuary could not be trampled upon in the slightest.
Li Cangshan said no more, only uttering a single word through his teeth, chillingly cold: "Slay!"
Clang!
The unsheathed longsword at his waist suddenly drew, transforming into a dark, ink-like sword beam, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing through the starry sky, and cleaved straight through the celestial barrier of the Boundary Mountain!
Just as this sword beam, powerful enough to split the heavens and the earth, was about to slash into the barrier.
hum!
Within the Broken Boundary Mountain, countless golden runes suddenly rose up, instantly condensing into a gigantic golden hand that blotted out the sky and the sun. It fiercely reached out from within the boundary, carrying the aura of suppressing the universe, and slammed down on the sword light!
Boom!!!
The starry sky trembled violently, and a violent energy shockwave swept outwards, ripples spreading through the void. The dark sword light recoiled, and the golden giant hand disintegrated into countless points of light, vanishing without a trace.
Qin Mu's figure had already stepped into the air and appeared not far in front of Li Cangshan and the others.
Behind him, more than ten figures appeared one after another like ghosts, all of them top experts who had long been famous in Breaking Boundaries Mountain. Their auras were deep and powerful, and none of them showed any fear in the face of the elite of Sword Star Holy Hall. On the contrary, their eyes were burning and their fighting spirit was rising.
Those who can gain a foothold in such a dangerous place as Broken Boundary Mountain, who hasn't crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood? Who doesn't have three parts pride and seven parts ferocity in their heart?
Wang Xuanying did not come.
He cannot intervene. If he does, Wang Jing, who is overseeing the projection in the Holy Temple, will inevitably join the fray. At that point, it will be a true battle to the death between World Lords, and the entire Broken Realm Mountain will be reduced to ruins.
Li Cangshan glanced coldly at Qin Mu, without uttering a single word, and gently pushed the sword guard with his left thumb.
Buzz!
The sword rang out, and a fine, condensed sword light shot out suddenly, as fast as lightning, and silently slashed towards Qin Mu's face!
Qin Mu's eyes narrowed, and a bronze halberd had appeared in his hand without him noticing. The halberd was covered with ancient lightning patterns, and crackling lightning danced around it when activated. He held the halberd with one arm, met the sword light with a sudden upward slash, and let out a roar that shook the universe: "Break!"
clang.!
The deafening clang of metal clashing was extremely loud, and the thin sword light was blasted away, shooting back in front of Li Cangshan, still buzzing incessantly.
"Ji Xiu?" Li Cangshan's eyes flickered slightly, his tone carrying a hint of surprise. "He's been hiding it quite well."
Qin Mu's lips curled into a cold smile: "The Sword Star Sanctuary has long resided in seclusion, accustomed to looking down upon all living beings in the lower realms, considering themselves detached from worldly affairs. Unfortunately, you underestimate Broken Boundary Mountain. The heavens of this Netherworld are not for you to dictate alone!"
His cultivation had now fully recovered, and in his peak condition, he naturally had no fear of Li Cangshan whatsoever.
Li Cangshan scoffed: "Is that so?"
"We'll know once we try." Qin Mu's smile deepened, and lightning and fire began to rise around him. His bronze halberd trembled slightly, emitting a humming sound that seemed to yearn to drink blood.
"As you wish!" Li Cangshan roared, "Kill!"
The sound faded, and people moved!
Li Cangshan transformed into a dark streak of light, his long sword flashing like a waterfall, rushing straight at Qin Mu!
At the same time, the seven sword cultivators from the Guardian Hall behind him also moved! They transformed into seven sharp sword rainbows, their auras merging and their sword momentum connecting, closely following Li Cangshan, and fiercely slashing towards the people of Pojie Mountain!
"Be careful, form a formation!" Qin Mu's expression was solemn, and his divine sense instantly transmitted to everyone on his side.
After speaking, he swept his bronze halberd horizontally, bringing with it a sky full of thunder and fire, like a roaring dragon of thunder and fire, fiercely crashing into Li Cangshan's sword light!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A great battle erupted instantly!
The brilliant starry sky was shrouded in this violent fighting spirit, and the starlight dimmed.
However, the moment they clashed, the people from Broken Realm Mountain felt immense pressure. Although the Sword Star Holy Hall only had eight members, each of them possessed profound cultivation, ruthless sword skills, and seamless teamwork, forming a deadly sword formation.
Often, one person can suppress two powerful warriors from Breaking Boundaries Mountain. Every sword strike is aimed at vital points, giving the opponent no chance to breathe.
Fortunately, the experts of Broken Boundary Mountain were no ordinary opponents. Although they were at a disadvantage overall, they quickly formed a defensive formation by taking advantage of their home ground and their numbers, and firmly resisted the fierce offensive of the Sword Star Temple, making it difficult for the opponent to achieve a decisive victory for the time being.
……
In the distance, behind a streak of meteorites, two slender figures stood silently, watching the battle with cold eyes.
It was Lin Muying from Jueling City and Zhang Lingyu from Zhenyan Pavilion.
Lin Muying had already ordered everyone in Jueling City to withdraw and no longer get involved in this mess. The waters were now bottomless and murky enough to drown people; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.
The people of Zhenyan Pavilion, naturally, wisely stayed in their residence, closed their doors, and watched from the sidelines.
Looking at the devastating battlefield in the distance, Zhang Lingyu sighed softly: "It's another lose-lose situation."
Lin Muying nodded silently.
Regardless of the final outcome of this battle, both sides will inevitably suffer severe damage to their foundations. If the Sword Star Sanctuary can crush the enemy with overwhelming force, the losses can still be controlled. However, they have clearly severely underestimated the tenacity and strength of Broken Realm Mountain.
