Chapter 655: Without Pause
This strike not only killed a mid-level martial artist.
It also broke their formation.
The two high-level martial artists were the core of the array, while the mid-level martial artists merely provided support.
With one of the high-level martial artists dead, the effectiveness of the whole array weakened significantly, reducing the resistance for Lin Tian.
Then came another swing, this time slicing horizontally.
It struck the waist of the long-haired high-level martial artist, severing her spine. Blood spattered everywhere, and her body collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.
"How... how is this possible?"
The remaining cultivators displayed expressions of disbelief.
Was Lin Tian’s sudden outburst really that powerful?
In an instant, he took down the two strongest opponents in the field, rendering the great array powerless.
Lin Tian coldly eyed those mid-level martial artists hidden in the shadows and disdainfully said, "You outlanders really think that just by mastering a few hidden weapons, you can become invincible? The martial arts foundation of the Celestial Dragon Continent isn’t something you can challenge! If you don’t want to die, leave here as soon as possible to avoid dying abroad."
His words were infused with Spiritual Qi, which had a tremendous deterrent effect on the cultivators. If not for their strong will, they would have started trembling long ago.
Ignoring the cultivators, Lin Tian went towards Liou Qingcheng with his blood-dripping sword.
"Qingcheng, don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you now!" Lin Tian whispered.
Suddenly, a black figure blocked his path and said in a muffled voice, "You’re very strong, strong enough that I have to go all out. If you want to escape now, no one can stop you. Are you still going forward?"
Upon hearing this, Liou Qingcheng snapped back to her senses, her gaze on Lin Tian became much more complex.
She knew it; since Lin Tian was here, he wouldn’t leave!
But, that’s what she was most worried about!
Ignoring Black Impermanence’s words, Lin Tian advanced, holding his sword firmly.
"Brother, should we kill this kid?" Black Impermanence asked casually.
White Impermanence looked at Lin Tian’s tall figure under the moonlight, remembered the miracles he had created, and finally swallowed a sigh and said, "Cut off one of his hands; let him live!"
"Alright!"
Black Impermanence replied succinctly.
Then, he drew a jet-black short sword from behind him. The blade was only sixty centimeters, but sharp enough to be lethal!
Lin Tian initially thought Black Impermanence was left-handed. He didn’t expect him to be ambidextrous! Earlier he hadn’t even used his full strength!
Despite being 1.9 meters tall, Black Impermanence still towered half a head above Lin Tian, and being robust with two swords in hand added to his imposing manner.
Suddenly, Black Impermanence raised both arms high, and the two swords slashed straight down towards Lin Tian’s arm.
Lin Tian raised his katana, intercepting the powerful twin strikes.
With two clangs, Lin Tian’s katana ended up with two notches.
Immediately, a tremendous force traversed through Lin Tian’s right hand, causing his entire grip and arm to go numb.
Black Impermanence’s strength was truly immense!
"Boy, is this all you can handle? If so, what’s left to fight?" Black Impermanence grinned.
Indifferently shaking his tingling arm, Lin Tian answered in a deep voice, "Again!"
This time, all of Lin Tian’s Spiritual Qi poured into his right hand, filling it with extraordinary power.
A direct thrust towards Black Impermanence’s heart.
Black Impermanence stepped back and used his right-hand sword to sidestep Lin Tian’s strike, dissipating the force, keeping himself safe.
Immediately, Lin Tian closed the gap again, his chipped blade slashing chaotically.
Initially dismissive, Black Impermanence’s expression gradually changed.
Despite his chaotic swordplay, Lin Tian excelled in speed.
His movements were so fast that it was dizzying, and even with two swords, Black Impermanence struggled to keep up.
"This kid... how can he be so fast..."
Black Impermanence muttered, retreating another step. It was his third retreat, leaving him with no room to counterattack.
Sweat began to bead on his forehead as he realized that he might lose at this rate.
Suddenly, Black Impermanence leaped backward into the air, creating a large gap before throwing his short sword.
The short sword sped towards Lin Tian, aiming to cleave his head if he didn’t evade.
Unfortunately, the speed of the flying sword appeared slowed to Lin Tian.
Thus, dodging it was trivial.
With a slight shift of his body, the short sword flew past Lin Tian.
He internally sneered, "Fool, you couldn’t defeat me with two swords, now that you’ve thrown one away, what will you do?"
At that moment, Black Impermanence charged forward, his sword poised like a fierce tiger.
The flying sword was just a feint!
Meanwhile, the mid-level martial artists behind Lin Tian surged forth.
Though the two high-level martial artists were dead, Black Impermanence could still serve as the formation’s core with his ample strength!
The battlefield is ever-changing, and Lin Tian couldn’t help but admire the seamless coordination among the Sakula Country cultivators. If he hadn’t advanced to mid-level martial artist, he might truly have died here today.
Facing Black Impermanence’s direct assault, Lin Tian counterattacked, unhesitatingly raising his sword.
Clang~
The clashing swords emitted a piercing metallic screech.
Lin Tian could even see a sinister smile appear on Black Impermanence’s face.
He’d never seen Black Impermanence smile before, and it was terribly ugly, raising a foreboding feeling in Lin Tian’s heart.
Black Impermanence launched another quick, powerful strike.
Lin Tian raised his sword to defend.
Clang~
Another metallic screech, and Black Impermanence smiled even wider, for Lin Tian’s sword shattered!
"Without your sword now, what will you fight me with?" Black Impermanence taunted.
Meanwhile, the cultivators behind Lin Tian closed in, attacking from all directions with swords, claws, shurikens, and many other unknown weapons.
In that critical moment, Lin Tian swiftly drew two black pistols from his waist.
These two pistols had always been with Lin Tian, loaded with fourteen bullets, ready to fire.
Bang~
With a deafening gunshot, a bullet fired with sparks, piercing straight through Black Impermanence’s throat.
"Pu..."
Blood gushed from Black Impermanence’s throat as his eyes bulged in disbelief, falling lifelessly to the ground.
Lin Tian then turned around, continuously pulling the trigger.
Bang bang bang...
Each bullet precisely hit their vital points, claiming another life.
In the end, all the cultivators lay dead, with only one bullet left in Lin Tian’s pistol.
