Eternal Sacred King

Chapter 2788: Opening

It was no wonder why the other party’s movement technique was so fast. In Tianhuang Mainland, the Rakshasa race had one of the fastest movement techniques among the ten thousand races with just a single pair of flesh wings. There were more than a hundred Rakshasas and they were all Perfected Spirits. Among them, there were more than 80 Paradise Void Perfected Spirits. The remaining few were Convergence, Celestial Being and Hollow Nether Perfected Spirits.

This is a little troublesome.”

Sword Immortal Tai Lai had a grim expression as he sent a voice transmission. Gong Sunyu said softly, “It’s not impossible for us to fight if it’s just this group of Rakshasa Ghosts. However, the Rakshasa Ghosts’ movement techniques are way too fast. It’s easy to injure them, but it’s difficult to kill them.” The scene before them was much more troublesome than when they faced hundreds of Heavenly Eye Perfected Spirits back in the Seven Stars Sword World.

At that time, although the Heavenly Eye race had hundreds of Perfected Spirits there were not many Paradise Void Perfected Spirits among them.

Right now, there were close to a hundred Paradise Void Perfected Spirits among the Rakshasas!

Most importantly, the Rakshasa race was best at movement techniques and speed. They came and went without a trace and could travel a thousand miles in an instant.

Just as Gong Sunyu had said, even if they could severely injure some Rakshasa Ghosts with the help of the Myriad Sword Formation, the latter could escape from the battlefield as long as they had a moment to catch their breath.

It was impossible for everyone to chase after the injured Rakshasas.

Once someone attacked and chased after the heavily injured Rakshasas, their sword formation would dissipate and they would be at a disadvantage since they would have to fight on their own.

In reality, the Rakshasa race was the last thing the Perfected Spirits of the tnchiliocosm wanted to encounter in the Evil Fiend Battlefield!

Even if they encountered the Rakshasa race, most Perfected Spirits would choose to avoid the battle.

That was because most of the time, in fights against Perfected Spirits of the Rakshasa race, even if they could win, they might not have a chance to kill the latter. As such, they would waste their energy for nothing.

Furthermore, there were more than a hundred Rakshasas now!

“Rakshasa Ghost?”

When Su Zimo heard how Gong Sunyu addressed the Rakshasa race, his heart skipped a beat as though he thought of something in deep thought.

Most of the Primordial Nine Races of Tianhuang Mainland dominated a region in the upper world. In fact, some of them were even in super large worlds. For example, the God race of the Light World, the Heavenly Eye race of the Heavenly Eye World, the Barbarian race of the Barbarian World and the Three-legged Golden Crow of the Golden Crow World…

These races either had strong bloodlines, powerful physiques or terrifying talents.

However, Su Zimo had not expected the Rakshasa race to appear in the Evil Fiend Battlefield!

This meant that the Rakshasa race was a type of Evil Fiend in the upper world. “Maintain the sword formation and retreat towards the dense forest!” Right then, Lin Xunzhen’s voice sounded in everyone’s minds.

Lin Xunzhen made a prompt decision and charged towards the dense forest with Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others following closely behind.

The formation of the eight of them seemed to have condensed into an immortal sword as they headed towards the dense forest.

Lin Xunzhen also realized that there was no benefit in fighting against this group of Rakshasas. The gains did not make up for the losses.

Even if they fought, they might not be able to obtain much Battle Merits. Instead, it would take a huge toll on them.

However, although the ten people of the Sword World wanted to leave, the hundred-odd Rakshasas around them were not agreeable to that!

“Kill!”

Accompanied by a sharp howl, more than a hundred Rakshasa Perfected Spirits flapped the gigantic flesh wings on their backs and wielded dual sabers. They transformed into streaks of black light and charged towards Su Zimo and the others.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

The sword formation circulated and released countless sword qi that surged in midair, as though they formed an impenetrable sword net.

More than a hundred Rakshasas circled and danced around the sword net continuously, wielding their dual sabers and colliding with the sword net causing sparks to fly.

The movement technique of the Rakshasa race was way too fast.

Even though Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others released their spirit consciousnesses, they could not lock onto it. They could only rely on the Myriad Sword Formation that they circulated to defend against more than a hundred Rakshasas.

Many Rakshasas could tell that Su Zimo and Beiming Xue’s cultivation realms were the weakest. They glared at the two of them and attacked repeatedly. However, the Myriad Sword Formation formed by Lin Xunzhen and the others circulated at full strength without any openings and the Rakshasas could not charge in immediately.

Lin Xunzhen’s group of ten retreated while fighting.

Although they could not kill the Rakshasas, the Rakshasas could not break through the defense of the Myriad Sword Formation either.

Beiming Xue followed closely behind Su Zimo and was puzzled. She could not help but send a voice transmission, “Master, the attacks of this group of Rakshasa Ghosts are ferocious and they’re clearly bent on killing us. What’s the use even if we retreat into the forest?”

Su Zimo said, “That dense forest is dark and deep with ancient trees towering into the clouds. It will affect and restrict the movement techniques of the Rakshasas.”

Beiming Xue understood instantly after Su Zimo’s reminder.

The Rakshasas could only unleash their movement techniques to the greatest extent in a wide space.

In the dense forest, there were many ancient trees. Although they could not defend against the sharp flesh wings of the Rakshasas, it would definitely affect their movement techniques to a certain extent.

Against top-tier Perfected Spirits, that slight difference could be extremely fatal!

After a moment of battle, Lin Xunzhen and the others were completely unharmed thanks to the Myriad Sword Formation.

Su Zimo and Beiming Xue were in the center of the formation and they were not injured either.

On the other hand, some low-level Perfected Spirits of the Rakshasa race were injured by Lin Xunzhen’s immortal sword.

Although they were not killed and managed to escape from the battlefield in time, many Rakshasas were enraged and the killing intent in their eyes intensified!

Just as the ten people of the Sword World were about to enter the forest, a Paradise Void Rakshasa woman suddenly shrieked.

“Freeze!”

Suddenly, a visible halo burst forth from the glabella of the Rakshasa woman and enveloped Lin Xunzhen and the others!

“Supreme divine power, Time Stop?”

Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others had calm expressions and did not think much of it.

A single supreme divine power could not affect the Myriad Sword Formation at all.

Only Su Zimo frowned slightly and sensed something amiss.

That was indeed the divine power of Time Stop. However, there was a trace of Astral Imprisonment’s power in the divine power that the Rakshasa woman comprehended!

Astral Imprisonment was a peerless divine power!

“Watch out!”

Right then, Lin Xunzhen sensed something amiss as well and reminded hurriedly.

Initially, the Myriad Sword Formation circulated normally. However, after the Rakshasa woman released Time Stop, the Myriad Sword Formation suddenly paused!

That pause did not affect Lin Xunzhen, Wang Dong and the others much. However, it caused an opening to be revealed in the Myriad Sword Formation.

Swoosh!

Everyone felt their vision blur as a ghostly figure flashed past.

Instinctively, Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others brandished their swords to defend. However, their immortal swords struck nothing.

Wang Dong, Gong Sunyu and the others seemed to have thought of something and their expressions changed drastically.

That opening was not much of a threat to them.

However, Su Zimo and Beiming Xue, who were at the center of the formation, were instantly exposed to the Rakshasas!

That opening was enough to kill Su Zimo and Beiming Xue!
