Chapter 210 Sword Formation Broken
Chapter 210 Sword Formation Broken
Thus, all the disciples of the four sects witnessed the whale devour the vengeful spirits and puppets before flying into the sky and self-destructing, leaving them all dumbfounded.
"Then, what is that?"
"A whale? Are you sure you're not mistaken? That's a whale, isn't it?!"
"To be precise, it should be the Heavenly Profound Whale! I've seen a picture of the Heavenly Profound Whale in the Monster Compendium!"
"My God! How could the Heavenly Profound Whale suddenly appear and devour so many vengeful spirits and puppets?! It's incredible!"
Just as everyone was excitedly discussing it, Ye Zheng shook her head and said, "That's not the real Tianxuan Whale."
In an instant, everyone looked at her.
Gu Changhuai frowned and asked, "Fellow Daoist Ye, why wasn't that a real Heavenly Profound Whale?"
Shen Anzhi stepped forward to explain on behalf of his senior sister: "Although the Heavenly Profound Whale could move, it didn't have a trace of life on it, which is why my senior sister said it wasn't a real Heavenly Profound Whale."
Just then, another melodious whale cry rang out, followed by the appearance of a gigantic Celestial Whale swimming in the sky. This Celestial Whale, with its empty eyes, opened its massive mouth and swallowed countless vengeful spirits and skeletons before flying back into the sky and self-destructing.
Now everyone believed Shen Anzhi's words.
There was indeed no trace of life on that Celestial Whale! Moreover, Celestial Whales are extremely rare; if it were truly alive, how could it possibly self-destruct?
Bai Jinyan stared in the direction where Su Luo and the others were, and suddenly thought of something. His eyes flickered slightly. "These two Heavenly Profound Whales are probably puppets manipulated by humans. Their purpose is to destroy these vengeful spirits and skeletons."
The crowd erupted in uproar again.
"My God! Who is so powerful that they could create a puppet of the Heavenly Profound Whale?!"
"Could he be a legendary puppeteer? It's said that puppeteers can turn anything into puppets and use them for their own purposes!"
"But how could there be a puppeteer in this secret realm?"
Just then, a clever disciple suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "By the way, don't you guys think that the direction the Xuan Whale came out from that day was very close to where Chu Wenqing and the others were?"
The others' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.
Yes! Now that I think about it, those two Heavenly Profound Whales seemed to have flown out from the direction Chu Wenqing and his group were from! Could it be that one of them is a puppeteer?!
For some reason, Su Luo's face suddenly appeared in Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu's minds. The two subconsciously looked at each other, then shook their heads violently in denial.
Impossible! Su Luo is a talisman cultivator, how could she also be a puppeteer?! There must be someone else who is the puppeteer!
Not only Ye Danqing and his companion, but also Gu Changhuai and the others suspected Su Xi.
They didn't have time to think much. When the vengeful spirits saw that the Heavenly Whale had devoured so many of their companions, they all screamed like madmen. Then, the remaining skeleton army all rushed towards the sword formation, intending to break through it!
Many disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were on the verge of collapse. At this moment, their faces were pale and sweat was dripping down like beans. They had no choice but to ask Gu Changhuai for help.
"Senior Brother, we can't hold on any longer!"
"We're about to die, Senior Brother..."
Gu Changhuai was startled. He leaped into the air, his longsword flashing like a rainbow as he swung it towards the skeletons outside the sword formation. In an instant, the skeletons surrounding the sword formation were reduced to dust. Then, he turned to everyone and shouted loudly, "The sword formation is broken! Everyone, form a circle, protecting the wounded inside, and prepare to fight!"
Everyone present changed their expressions and, disregarding everything else, picked up their weapons. They then formed a circle as Gu Changhuai had instructed, keeping a close eye on the ever-charging skeleton army, preparing to fight.
Ning Wanshuang quickly used her protective magic artifact to shield herself and Ye Danqing inside.
The members of other sects didn't seem to mind, since it was Ning Wanshuang's prerogative to use protective magic artifacts. However, the remaining disciples of the Tianyi Sect felt quite uncomfortable.
They are all disciples of the Tianyi Sect. They once risked their lives for Junior Sister Ning. Why is it that when it comes to a critical moment, Junior Sister Ning only cares about Senior Brother and doesn't offer them any protective magic artifacts?!
Ye Danqing naturally noticed the unfriendly gazes of his fellow disciples. Although he also felt that Ning Wanshuang's actions were inappropriate, he knew that Ning Wanshuang's protective magic artifacts couldn't protect too many people, and there was nothing he could do about it.
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Danqing said to Ning Wanshuang, "Junior Sister Ning, you don't need to protect me with your protective magic artifact. I still have to fight the enemy later and can't stay with you all the time."
Ning Wanshuang had originally planned to bind herself to Ye Danqing using a protective magic artifact, which would provide an extra layer of protection. Hearing Ye Danqing's words, even though she was furious that her plan had failed, she still feigned concern and said, "But Senior Brother, I'm worried you'll get hurt..."
Ye Danqing felt warmed by the concern shown to him. He smiled and said, "It's alright, I can protect myself. You can use this protective artifact yourself, and remember to protect yourself later."
Ning Wanshuang had no choice but to agree and withdrew the protective shield that had been protecting Ye Danqing.
Seeing this, the Tianyi Sect disciples who were watching from the side felt a little better.
Ye Zheng saw all of this and couldn't help but frown.
The atmosphere at Tianyi Sect is truly...
Just then, the sound of swords hummed.
"Sword formation, break!"
With Gu Changhuai's command, the sword formation shattered, and countless vengeful spirits and skeleton armies charged towards them menacingly.
The bloody battle began.
Meanwhile, on Su Luo's side...
Compared to the bloody danger on Gu Changhuai's side, Su Luo and the others were much safer. They stayed safely inside the protective formation, and no matter how the vengeful spirits and skeletons outside tried to break in, they couldn't get in!
Not only that, Chu Wenqing also summoned the Star Thunder Sword.
As soon as the Star Thunder Sword was unleashed, the entire protective array was instantly filled with invisible lightning. Any vengeful spirits or skeletons that collided with it would be annihilated!
In addition, the Heavenly Profound Whale that Su Luo occasionally draws is feasting outside, and the Soul Devouring Beast, being bold, also jumps out to wreak havoc.
With so much help, Su Luo and the others didn't need to lift a finger; the surrounding vengeful spirits and skeleton army had been almost completely wiped out. Since they had nothing better to do, they simply hid inside the protective array, chatting and eating sunflower seeds.
Their leisurely demeanor made the vengeful spirits and skeletons grit their teeth in anger.
Ugh! I'm so angry! I want to rush in and eat all these people alive!
While watching the show, Feng Xiyue sighed, "If I didn't see the bloodshed outside, I would have thought I was on vacation."
Chu Wenqing raised his head proudly and said, "That's right! It's all thanks to my Star Thunder Sword!"
Song Qiao shook his head and said, "Su Luo is the biggest contributor!"
He doesn't stutter much when he speaks anymore.
"Whether it's Su Luo's protective formation, or... the Soul-Devouring Beast, or the Heavenly Profound Whale she drew, they are all exceptionally powerful!"
"I know! So Su Luo is the best, and I'm the second best~" Chu Wenqing said, giving Su Luo an extremely fawning smile.
"Su Luo, am I right?"
Su Luo: ...Why are you praising me so much? It's kind of embarrassing.
"You're quite good at putting on a good face..."
Lin Ji scoffed, then took out a water pouch and turned to Su Luo with a concerned expression. "Su Luo, you must be thirsty after eating so many melon seeds, right? Here, have some water."
Su Luo took the water pouch and thanked her with a smile.
After finishing her water, she noticed Lin Ji staring at her expectantly. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Do you want some water too?"
"want!"
Lin Ji's gaze fell on Su Luo's lips, which were wet with water. His Adam's apple bobbed, and upon hearing this, he quickly grabbed the water pouch and drank deeply.
Mmm! So sweet!
"Drink slowly, no one's going to take it from you..."
Su Luo thought Lin Ji was thirsty and quickly said so. But then she suddenly remembered that she hadn't had time to wipe the mouth of her water pouch after drinking water, which meant that the two of them had indirectly kissed?
Instantly, Su Luo's face turned bright red.
She cleared her throat, jumped up, and walked to the side with her back to Lin Ji, pretending to be busy, saying, "There are still quite a few skeletons. I'll draw another one, the Heavenly Profound Whale!"
Lin Ji licked his lips, smiled without saying a word, but did not expose her.
After all, shy Su Luo is also very cute!
