Chapter 386: Annual Calamity! The Immortal Slaying Nine Swords Show Their Might (Part 2)
Chapter 386: Annual Calamity! The Immortal Slaying Nine Swords Show Their Might (Part 2)
The leading bald monk was indeed powerful.
With 9th Stage late-stage strength, he could probably win if he went all out, but his disciples would definitely not be his match.
But...
He had Chen An on his side.
Lin Fan calmed down.
...
"Picking your timing?"
The leading bald monk smiled, "To annihilate your insignificant Moon Holding Sect, do we need to pick our timing?"
"You..."
"And you dare?"
Boom! His question echoed like thunder, and in an instant, the bald monks behind him seemed to receive a command and immediately took action.
The Moon Holding Sect had been prepared for a long time, and they immediately engaged, with the battle erupting in an instant!
In just a moment, the heavenly canopy was filled with dazzling special effects.
The battle raged on without pause! Both sides fought fiercely, and right from the start, it was incredibly dangerous.
But...
The leading bald monk didn't move.
Lin Fan and Chen An also remained still.
"Oh?"
"You're quite confident in your juniors." The bald monk chuckled, "I admit, they are indeed exceptionally talented, belonging to the ranks of the world's pride. In a burst of power, they can temporarily possess 9th Stage combat strength, but that's only temporary."
"With a 9th Stage expert behind you, why don't you let him take action? Do you think that with just your disciples, you can win?"
"..."
Lin Fan nodded, "Exactly, that's what I believe."
"And then?"
In the blink of an eye, the bald monk was stunned.
"Your reaction is off. How can I show off now?"
"Never mind, they're all going to die anyway. I can't be bothered to waste words with you."
"Huh?"
Lin Fan frowned. "Are you crazy, Baldy?"
"Who's wasting words with you?"
"Is that all you have to say?"
"You..."
"I'll kill you!"
The bald monk was unwilling to talk further. No matter what was said at this point, it would be futile. Ever since they stepped out, they had already prepared to face death.
The sudden turn of events was unexpected, but in the end, it was just a matter of annihilation or an all-out battle.
Life and death had not yet been decided!
The two instantly engaged in a fierce battle! Both were late-stage Ninth Realm experts.
One was proficient in the secret techniques of the Buddhist Sect, with an exceptionally strong physical body.
The other, dressed in white, relied on the three-foot green blade in his hand to slay all under heaven.
Buddha's light shone upon the world, illuminating everything!
Sword energy crisscrossed for three thousand miles, piercing through the sky, cutting through the Buddha's light, and seemingly severing the path of the Buddhist Sect.
"Ahhhh!"
The bald monk roared.
After three hundred rounds of battle, he was ultimately no match and had one of his arms severed by Chen An with a single sword strike!
Boom! The arm fell from the sky, sounding like thunder.
Then, it directly crushed a mountain! A late-stage Ninth Realm expert with an exceptionally strong physical body, even just one arm weighed over a million pounds!
"Chen An!"
The bald monk howled, his severed arm radiating endless sword intent, preventing him from recovering and reducing his battle prowess instantly.
This not only caused the bald monk immense pain but also made his eyes turn red, and in this moment, he went berserk.
"Today, either you die, or I perish!"
Bang! The bald monk punched his own chest, coughing up black blood.
But at the same time, the 'black energy' sealed in his heart began to seep out.
In just an instant, the seemingly calm and peaceful bald monk transformed into the Black Buddha!
Black energy spread, and demonic flames raged! Where was the Buddhist monk? He was now a supreme Great Demon, fallen into the endless depths of hell!
Chen An's expression changed slightly. "Your Buddhist Sect truly has issues!"
"This evil energy is even purer than that of the Celestial Demon Palace!"
"What are you trying to do?"
"The winner takes all."
"Today, you will die!"
The Black Buddha roared, and the black energy condensed into an arm, allowing him to recover and once again pressure Chen An!
Behind Chen An, Lin Fan's eyes narrowed, and as countless stars revolved, he forcefully pierced through the 'real and illusion'.
"This black energy..."
"So that's how it is."
"Heavenly darkness and resentment?"
"It's just extremely pure."
"And these things, their offensive power is inherently strong, and they also have a strong corrosive nature. Combined with such purity, it's indeed difficult for us to withstand."
"Not only that..."
"This power, compared to the power of the Buddhist Sect, should be two extremes. One is like dry firewood and raging flames, and the other is like eternal ice. When they collide, they should cancel and consume each other."
"But they don't know what method they used to not only prevent the two powers from canceling each other out but also perfectly merge them together, enhancing their destructive power even further."
"It seems..."
"Quite impressive."
Lin Fan was astonished.
Chen An was also unable to remain calm and immediately retaliated.
But the suddenly powerful Bald Monk had already become a formidable opponent, and after a brief exchange, he even showed signs of gaining the upper hand.
Upon seeing this, Lin Fan was about to give the Black Buddha a hard lesson...
But suddenly, an idea struck him, and his eyes lit up.
"Heavenly resentment and dark energy?"
"This thing..."
As he watched Chen An's sword being blocked by the 'black energy' time and again, with the black energy also being sliced and gradually dissipating, Lin Fan suddenly remembered something.
"Speaking of which, aren't zombies born from the accumulation of heavenly resentment and dark energy?"
"And Corpse Puppets, those things also require heavenly resentment and dark energy to nourish them."
"So..."
"This thing is actually a tonic?"
Lin Fan immediately gave the order.
Zhu Rou Rong hurriedly brought the zombies over.
The four Corpse Puppets also immediately left their hiding place and 'teleported' to Lin Fan's side.
Directly forcing the Black Buddha's severed black energy into them, Lin Fan let the 'six corpses' go crazy and absorb it!
With such pure power, the two zombies instantly became excited, their eyes shooting out several meters of evil light! Even the four ninth-stage Corpse Puppets became more agile.
Using his pupil technique to observe, Lin Fan could clearly see that their physical strength was increasing! "As expected, the ancient saying is true."
"Even the most useless things in the world, like used toilet paper, have their uses."
"These Black Buddhas are indeed evil, but..."
"They're actually a 'special tonic'."
"Then we'll have to wait for a bit, the faster they're killed, the more tonic will theoretically dissipate..."
Lin Fan immediately stopped.
And then...
The Black Buddha was stunned!
While fighting with Chen An, he was also surrounded by four Corpse Puppets and two zombies!
Merely eighth-stage zombies and four initial ninth-stage Corpse Puppets, he didn't even consider them a threat.
But...
They were freaking monsters!
Not in the conventional sense of the word.
They surrounded him, crazily 'deep breathing'.
A hurried, deep breathing.
It was like...
Yes, it was like a perverted stalker standing near the girl he liked, smelling the faint body scent that might not even exist, unable to control himself as he deeply breathed in and sniffed that almost imperceptible body scent, losing himself in the process.
The action was bad enough.
But their faces were clearly 'intoxicated'.
Absolutely absurd! What the hell kind of perverted monsters were these? This was outrageous! At that moment, he was almost driven mad.
His whole body trembled, and he frantically attacked.
From start to finish, he had never been afraid.
But at this moment, he was scared.
Not of being killed by Chen An, but of these six inhuman perverts! If he fell into their hands...
Wouldn't it be a million times worse than death? "Chen An!"
"Die!"
With all his might, he fought desperately.
Chen An's expression turned grave, and he had no choice but to focus his full attention on the battle.
After observing for a moment, Lin Fan discovered that Chen An was holding his own.
Although the Black Buddha was formidable, he could still keep his ground.
As the zombies and Corpse Puppets were crazily 'sucking', it was like an alternative way of weakening the Black Buddha, so Lin Fan became more and more stable.
Since he could hold his ground, Lin Fan naturally stopped paying attention to this side.
Instead, he quietly entered Xiao Ling'er, Shi Zhongtian, and the others' battlefield.
A total of ten Black Buddhas, Arhats, and others were launching a frenzied attack on them!
But the Moon Embrace Sect was not weak either, and they fought back fiercely, causing the heavens and earth to shake in their battle.
And because they had more ninth-stage experts, for a short time, they managed to hold their ground.
"The night is long, and dreams are many."
"The current me is not one who must hide his strength, so..."
"'General Overseer Lu', it's your turn~"
Lu Ming appeared!
But he was extremely low-key.
Or rather, ever since the Bright Moon Sect became a branch of the Moon Embrace Sect, Lu Ming had always been extremely low-key.
He held a three-foot green blade, aimed at one person, and quietly 'hid'.
Then...
He stealthily approached.
Finally...
He suddenly burst into action!
A sword light tore through the sky, but before the light could shine, an extremely terrifying sword had already fallen upon one of the ninth-stage Bald Monks' heads.
And this sword contained immortal power!
It was as if it wasn't a sword from the mortal realm at all, but rather a sword from an immortal realm, falling from the Nine Heavens and slicing through the Bald Monk's head.
Directly splitting his originally shiny bald head, scalp, flesh, skull, brain, entire head, neck, and body...
In two!
The sword directly split the ninth-stage Bald Monk vertically into two halves! The entire process was incredibly smooth.
So smooth that the Bald Monk didn't even have time to scream before being split into two.
Even after being split into two, he still maintained his combat stance and attacked Shi Hao.
But he was met with Shi Hao's punch, which directly turned him into two pieces of rotten meat that flew away.
"Dead?!"
Shi Hao was shocked.
The Bald Monks were also shocked.
"How could this be?!"
"His sixteen-foot golden body has already formed, and even if he was ambushed by Chen An, he shouldn't have died instantly, right? Even his divine soul has been annihilated, what's going on?!"
They were terrified.
Lin Fan was also stunned.
"Immortal Slaying Nine Swords... are indeed powerful."
"It's no wonder it's a sword technique from the immortal realm, used to slay these initial ninth-stage guys, it's incredibly smooth, they can't even block for a moment."
"It's truly..."
"Amazing!"
"Unfortunately... the bad news is, I've only learned the first sword so far."
In the midst of the battle, a glimmer of hope emerged. The good news was that this sword could be reused, and it was more than enough to deal with them!
Without hesitation, he struck again.
Like slicing through vegetables, each sword stroke effortlessly bisected the bald monks, annihilating both their physical bodies and divine souls, ensuring their complete demise.
Of course, if it were a direct confrontation, even with the formidable Immortal Slaying Nine Swords, it wouldn't be this overpowering, especially against several Triple Flower Summit cultivators at the Ninth Stage.
There was even one at the fourth level of the Ninth Stage!
But...
They were all bitten by their opponents, and Land Ming didn't care about 'martial arts ethics' in such a critical situation.
Naturally, at this juncture, only a fool would adhere to such principles.
Instead, he opted for a direct 'ambush', killing without hesitation, never giving them a chance!
As a result, by the time Black Buddha realized what was happening, 'Land Ming' had already slain his last remaining subordinate!
Seeing his subordinate split in two, with no divine soul fluctuations, Black Buddha was shocked.
"How... How is this possible?!"
"How did you do this?!"
He couldn't comprehend it.
A mere Land Ming, who hadn't even reached the Ninth Stage, displayed such overwhelming power. And that sword move was truly dazzling!
Even the Sword Palace Elder, Chen An, couldn't match it.
A mere Eighth Stage swordsman, how could he be so astonishing? The problem...
Where did this power come from?!
"Oh?!"
Land Ming didn't rush to strike Black Buddha, but instead, with curiosity, asked, "Your reaction is a bit strange. I've killed your subordinates, but I don't sense any anger from your face or body."
"Just shock and curiosity..."
"What? Don't you have any affection for them? Don't you want to avenge them?"
Black Buddha's expression changed slightly.
Then, with a sinister smile, he said, "That's interesting. You're trying to extract information from me, but do you think I'm the kind of person who would be fooled by your words?"
"Telling you half of it would be a waste of my years!"
"Hiss!"
'Lin Fan' stepped forward, frowning as he said, "You've discovered it? That's a bit troublesome. It seems it won't be easy to figure out your true intentions."
"Since it's come to this, keeping you alive is pointless. Elder Chen, give it your all and finish him off."
Chen An glanced at Lin Fan, instinctively wanting to nod, but then he realized something was amiss.
He was already giving it his all, and if he pushed harder, it would be like fighting with a thousand injuries and self-inflicted damage.
Moreover, there was something eerie about this situation.
"Logically speaking, at this moment, Lin Fan shouldn't be able to do this."
"Could it be..."
Elder Chen suddenly realized, "Okay."
And his attacks became even more fierce!
Hmm...
In fact, the attack power had weakened, but the frequency had increased, and the 'special effects' were maxed out... Even reducing the attack power and using the force that should have been used to enhance the attack to boost the 'special effects'.
Although this approach seemed counterintuitive, to outsiders, it appeared as if he was putting in more effort.
For a moment, Black Buddha was flustered.
At the same time, Shi Hao and the others arrived.
However, they didn't intervene, only staying on the outskirts, alert and ready to support.
There was no other choice; the disparity in cultivation realms was too great. Forcing their way in might give the opponent an opportunity to seize one of them as a hostage or human shield, which would only hinder their efforts.
Providing support and blocking from the outskirts was the best option.
Only 'Land Ming' was far away, slashing out sword after sword, all using the first sword technique of the Immortal Slaying Nine Swords!
This wasn't Land Ming's strongest move, but it was the most convenient and almost 'cooldown-free'. As long as his stamina could keep up, he could use it like a machine gun.
It was truly handy.
Furthermore, he wasn't genuinely trying to kill his opponent but was conducting a special interrogation.
"Bald monk, no matter who you are or what conspiracy your Buddhist sect has, but... You're finished!"
"You will soon follow your subordinates to your graves, and your Buddhist sect's conspiracy will be destroyed. The future belongs to us, the Moon Holding Sect, and the Immortal Martial Continent!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Nonsense!"
Although Black Buddha was flustered, upon hearing Lin Fan's confident words, he burst into laughter.
"A foolish fool who thinks too highly of himself."
"Even at the brink of death, you remain ignorant. You... are finished!"
"Even if I die here today, it's just a matter of time before we descend into hell. On the Yellow Springs Path, we will still..."
"..."
"So confident?"
But Lin Fan suddenly changed the topic, "Then, I, along with Land Ming, used your subordinates as practice dummies, and you don't feel any sorrow, anger, or even a hint of concern for your own impending death. I'm guessing that you know your chances of survival are slim, yet you remain so calm and confident. Let me take a wild guess."
"I believe that your deaths won't affect the conspiracy and plans of your Buddhist sect?"
If...
"This guess is even wilder."
"The fact that you killed so many people is part of your plan, but just as you can kill, others can also kill you."
"So..."
"In other words, your deaths are also part of the Buddhist sect's conspiracy and plan?"
"That's why you remain so calm, unmoved by the deaths of your subordinates or your own impending demise."
"Can you truly remain unperturbed?"
"Hmm... Let me think."
Lin Fan paced in the void, stroking his chin, "The force behind you must have told you that even if you die and your body and soul are destroyed, they can still retrieve you and grant you 'immortality'?"
