Chapter 4089: Slaughtering Slash
Translator: ImmortalEmperorBao
Everyone knew that Ninthâs sword would need to taste blood. Thus, this battle would end with someone dead.
They didnât know whether Shi Yingxue was hiding from Ninth or just buying time to recuperate.
âToday.â Ninth ignored the demon kingâs suggestion. Though there was no hint of emotion in his voice, he clearly left no room for negotiation.
He was the embodiment of the sword - always ready to pierce someoneâs heart. Thus, it was difficult to refuse him.
The listeners took a deep breath after hearing his determination to fight.
âThis is a chaotic period and our sect is busy dealing with a scourge.â The demon king could hold back no longer and barked back: âSir, leave and return another day!â
Starshooter King joined in as well: âNo need to be in such a hurry, Armament Mountain wonât go anywhere so your fight will happen eventually. We are occupied right now.â
Ninth didnât need to be told and still understood the situation.
âBuddha will come out once I kill a few monks.â He uttered coldly.
âWhat is your intention?â The demon kingâs expression darkened. He felt something ominous incoming.
âMake your move.â Ninth glared at the legion of Armament Mountain then bluntly stated.
Not to mention the demon king, even the neutral spectators knew what was about to happen. Alas, no one dared to stand up to this monster.
âIâm afraid youâll be disappointed if you want to fight us. Our official business is not finished so we wonât fight you just because of face.â The demon king said.
âWe have to save our disciples first, please stand aside.â Starshooter King interjected.
âSo be it.â Ninth replied then raised his sword.
âClank!â Everyone became afraid of this cultivator gathering energy. They thought that he was about to attack the legions.
Both Celestial Ape Demon King and Starshooter King grabbed their weapon and were ready to fight this mighty enemy.
âWhoosh!â However, Ninthâs targets werenât the duo. His slash swept through the plain, seemingly flattening it.
The ropes tying up the three geniuses and their allies were severed from this single slash. Its precision astounded the crowd.
Strangely enough, Li Qiye didnât bother trying to stop it and only watched.
âBam! Bam! Bam!â The captives fell to the ground from the towers.
No one expected Ninth to save them. This swordsman was always alone and only cared about the sword. Saving people was not part of his modus operandi.
Meanwhile, people were still surprised at Li Qiyeâs inaction.
âRun!â The captives were ecstatic and didnât expect a stranger to save them instead of the seniors. They immediately got up and started running away from the plain.
âThank you, Sir, for this kind favor!â Both Celestial Ape Demon King and Starshooter King expressed their gratitude.
âIâm not saving them.â Ninth turned around to look at the fleeing captives and said: âBe ready to block my slash.â
The runners, the kings, and even the spectators were caught off guard by this.
âClank!â A sword hymn and a sharp aura engulfed the area.
âSh*t!â Both the kings bellowed: âOn guard now!â
The incoming aura horrified the fleeing captives. They immediately gathered energy and vitality, resulting in loud explosions.
Ninth finally made his move and raised his sword, leaving afterimages along the way. Thousands of ethereal swords appeared around him.
People sensed something formless and emotionless - murder was the only thing driving this technique.
âFirst variation, Compassionless!â An ancestor recognized the first move.
The swords then flew out with the speed of light, ready to unleash fatalities.
âAhhh! Ahhhâ¦â Waves of screams resounded.
The majority of the captives couldnât block or dodge in time so the ethereal swords pierced their chest. The three geniuses also felt death coming for them.
Hundred-blade raised his hand and swords rained down to create a barrier. Starshooter Prince relied on his movement technique, becoming as fast as a shooting star in order to dodge the flying swords. Eight-armed Prince roared and decided to meet the swords head-on with eight palm strikes.
âStop!â Both kings roared thunderously and made their move as well, choosing to attack Ninth.
The members of the legions also summoned their weapons and did the same. However, the attack was just too fast. Both dodging and blocking simply didnât work.
âAhh!â The three geniuses suffered the same fate as their men. Their eyes remained wide open and were filled with unwillingness and despair, not expecting to die after seeing a glimpse of hope.
