Chapter 1282

Chapter 1282: Chapter 1179: The Setup Chapter 1282: Chapter 1179: The Setup At a certain place within the Black Abyss Mystical Cave, the sounds of battle shook the heavens.

Countless Yin Beasts gathered together, forming a colossal encirclement over hundred feet across. Like surging tides, they ceaselessly besieged Elder Mo Wang and others at the center of the circle.

Elder Mo Wang, controlling her Armor, was already struggling against the onslaught of two Earth Evil Corpse Kings, with little capacity to fend off the disturbance of these Yin Beasts. One by one, the disciples of Tianji City beside her were stealthily dragged into the horde of beasts. They hardly had the chance to cry out before getting torn to shreds.

“Elder, save me…”

A disciple, covered in blood, struggled to break through the beasts, reaching out with his mangled arm toward Mo Wang. His eyes held a mix of despair and hope, emitting a reluctant wail.

Elder Mo Wang, with a heart of compassion, turned to look, intending to reach out and save him, but saw the disciple's expression suddenly twist into a malicious grin – he had already fallen under the Corpse King's control of his divine wisdom.

“No!”

Elder Mo Wang sensed that something was terribly wrong, but by the time she turned back, it was already too late.

Her Armor was pierced through by a punch from one Earth Evil Corpse King, and as the Armor shattered, the other Corpse King took advantage of the moment to lunge forward, piercing her chest with its claw-like hand.

“My life is over…” lamented Elder Mo Wang in her heart.

At this critical moment, a streak of black light suddenly descended from the sky. Just as the Corpse King's palm touched the fabric of Elder Mo Wang's chest, with a “whoosh” sound, it penetrated the head of the assailant.

The black light landed on the ground, transforming into a longsword etched with runes. Swiftly following was half a gruesome Corpse King's skull, falling to the ground.

The other Earth Evil Corpse King quickly looked around for the newcomer but couldn't detect even the slightest Mana fluctuation or residual Spiritual Power, hence was unable to track any Breath.

At that moment, a delicate streak of shining white light, thin as a willow leaf, swept past before its eyes. As it reached out to grab it, the white light flashed suddenly, disappearing from sight.

But immediately after, the white light flickered around the Corpse King, its trajectory incredibly fast, impossible for anyone to catch.

By the time the white light halted, the Earth Evil Corpse King suddenly grunted, eyes wide with shock as it looked down to find its body slashed from neck to ankle, with fissures appearing one after another.

The next instant, its body crumbled into a heap of Flesh and Blood, collapsing onto the ground.

The white light, now resembling a willow leaf, collided in Mid Air with the black Longsword. The two lights, one black and one white, flashed and then merged into one, forming an intricate longsword with a black Sword body and white Sword Edge.

The longsword hung in Mid Air, a high-grade Armor Crystal embedded in the Sword Hilt suddenly glowing brightly, causing the complex charm patterns etched onto the Sword body to shine as well.

“Swish, swish…”

A sound like a cloudburst suddenly erupted, and the Flying Swords suspended in Mid Air spun at high speed, shooting out beams of white light that fell towards the surrounding Yin Beasts.

In an instant, numerous Yin Beasts, like seedlings in a rice field, fell one after another, meeting their deaths.

In just a few breaths' time, half of the Yin Beasts had been slaughtered, and the remaining beasts scattered and fled.

Elder Mo Wang and the three surviving disciples of Tianji City stood frozen in place. The pear blossom rain of Sword light attacks seemed to cover the sky, yet each was perfectly controlled with precise trajectories, none harming them.

“The Thousand Mechanism Sword, the City Lord has arrived, the City Lord has arrived…” Suddenly, amidst the disciples, someone cried out in surprise.

Elder Mo Wang looked around at the corpses scattered on the ground, especially at the broken bodies of the Tianji City disciples, her eyes filled with guilt and embarrassment.

She suddenly remembered something and hastily looked towards the remains of the two Earth Evil Corpse Kings, only to find that whether it was the one with its head severed or the one slashed into Fragments, both had now disappeared without a trace.

“They still got away…” she seethed internally.

The suspended Thousand Mechanism Sword's spinning slowly came to a halt, and the white sword light that was shooting out of it grew lesser and lesser until it completely vanished. The sword edge then turned and flew back, whizzing off into the distance.

In the darkness where the sword light fell, several figures emerged and looked towards Elder Mo Wang and the others with a somewhat grave expression.

“Greetings, City Lord,” Elder Mo Wang hurried forward to greet him.

The other three disciples also promptly followed, silent and respectful as they clasped their fists in salutation.

“It seems the situation is worse than I had expected,” Elder Fu sighed as he surveyed the tragic scene before him.

“City Lord, it is my incompetence that failed to protect the disciples of Tianji City, leading to their heavy casualties,” Elder Mo Wang took the blame upon himself.

“You cannot be wholly blamed, it is my lack of consideration, and I arrived too late. By the way, where are Elder Mei and Shen Luo?” The Little Master shook his head before inquiring.

“We had split up to act, and by now we have become separated. I fear their condition might not be much better than ours,” Elder Mo Wang couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.

“With such heavy losses this time, no matter what, we must achieve our goal. We shall continue to explore deeper and will eventually meet up with Elder Mei and the others,” the Little Master said without hesitation.

“Yes.”

With the City Lord as their pillar of strength, Elder Mo Wang and his group had no more worries and immediately responded.

Deep within the Black Abyss Mystery Cave, in that dark space, the Blood Skeleton toyed with the yellow jade slip in one hand while listening to the reports of his subordinates.

“Great King, among these outsiders, many are from Tianji City, and among them are quite a few powerful individuals. The Yin Beasts could not hold them off and have been pushed back in defeat, even the two Earth Evil Corpse Kings under Ghost Yan have been driven back with severe injuries,” the one reporting spoke cautiously.

“Ghost Yan always talks a good game, but it seems his Earth Evil Corpse Kings aren't much use either,” the Blood Skeleton shook its head, slightly disdainful.

“Also, those guys are moving extremely fast, and someone has already crossed the Weak Water,” the reporter continued.

At that statement, the Blood Skeleton's movement, as he played with the jade slip, noticeably stiffened, and he stopped.

“What did you say? Someone has already crossed the Weak Water?” His voice rose sharply.

“Reporting to the Great King… yes, that is true…” the one reporting fearfully knelt down, trembling.

“Looking at it this way, it must be the doing of those individuals; otherwise, these outsiders could not possibly have crossed the Weak Water so quickly in such a short amount of time,” the Blood Skeleton mused.

A moment later, he issued an order, “Go, call back all the Yin Beasts, just guard those arrays well, the rest can be ignored for now.”

“Yes.”

The subordinate immediately obeyed the command and hurriedly left with the order.

“Great King, haven't you already agreed with Ghost Yan that after he hands the Heavenly Corpse Scripture over to you, we would help him block those monks from Tianji City, why…” one of the True Immortal Stage Yin Beasts hesitated to ask at his side.

“The agreement with Ghost Yan is nothing more than a verbal promise, and even he knows I won't keep it. Having blocked them for so long already counts as having gone above and beyond, surely I can't really gamble with my own capital, can I? Besides… it's better for them to fight Ghost Yan and the monks of Tianji City to death, who wouldn't want the benefit of being the fisherman?” the Blood Skeleton said with a laugh.

“Great King is wise,” the True Immortal Yin Beast said, immediately flattering.

“Don't let your guard down either, keep a close watch on both sides, and report back at any time,” the Blood Skeleton instructed.

“Yes.”
