Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 734 - 715: The Great Sun Sword Sect has become a gathering place for vermin.

"Tushan?"

"Immortal Tushan."

Immortal Burning Bone looked at the young man in green clothes approaching him, his face darkening as he stared intently at this Nascent Soul Immortal who had only been mentioned in reports but whom he had never met before.

"All of this... was it your doing?"

"Did we ever have any enmity in the past?"

The Bloody Sun Sword Intent that was within his grasp had dissipated into nothingness, like a fleeting dream or bubble, causing murderous intentions in Immortal Burning Bone's heart to surge like waves, undulating unpredictably.

Almost at the same time, multiple messages were sent out by him, reaching the Great Sun Sword Sect and the fellow cultivators who were on friendly terms with him.

Sect cultivators are not used to fighting alone!

He was confident that a large number of Nascent Soul Monks would come to kill in a very short period of time, regardless of whatever tricks Immortal Tushan in front of him was playing or what sort of traps had been set up.

The only outcome would surely be a collective slaughter by many Nascent Souls until death, with no possibility of escape!

This here, is the core heartland of the Great Sun Sword Sect!

Any foreign Nascent Soul who shows up, who expresses hostility, is destined to die without a doubt, with no escape in sight!

Because within the Sword Sect, there are no shortage of experts proficient in tracking techniques or masters of escape techniques, and let alone lacking flying boats for chasing down enemies — the fourth-order top-level Skycruisers. Powered by multiple Nascent Soul Immortals, their terrifying speed can reach horrendous levels.

The thoughts of Immortal Burning Bone fluctuated, as his intent to kill became chillingly cold.

However, in the next moment, his expression changed slightly.

No response,

His call for help brought no response at all.

Even the emergency call for help "One Thought, Thousands of Miles" used in the sect's battlefield was futile; not a single message from the sect came, instructing him to hold position, escape, engage the enemy, or wait for support.

The opponent was well-prepared!

Immortal Burning Bone's heart tightened, and he sensed a grave heaviness, smelling the scent of danger.

"Fellow Daoist Tushan, did we have any grievances in the past?"

Immortal Burning Bone constantly changed his communication methods, involving secret techniques of space, Divine Soul, and Sword Dao, forcing a slight smile on his face, "If there are any, better to speak them outright."

"It's better to dissolve enmities than to foster them, to avoid the discontentment of dozens of Nascent Soul Immortals within the Great Sun Sword Sect, which would lead to turmoil — just when the Northern Plains had started to settle down, chaos would rise once again."

"It's fine for us, but if countless lives are lost because of this, and their paths are cut off, then this is our sin."

He took a very low stance, even willing to offer compensation despite being the target of an attack, subtly threatening with the prestige of the Great Sun Sword Sect and the well-being of all under heaven, considering every aspect.

The concessions were great; he was reluctant to fight in a battlefield calculated and laid out by someone else, regardless of not actually having much fear, with his battle experience being extremely shrewd.

"Immortal Burning Bone,"

"Those who excavate the roots of the Sword Dao must die."

Jiang Ding said softly, drawing his sword.

"Since you are unwilling to end your own life, then let me escort you on your journey."

"Excavating the roots of the Sword Dao?"

Immortal Burning Bone's heart skipped a beat.

Despite all his planning,

he had never imagined that a Nascent Soul Immortal he had never met would come to assassinate him for such a ludicrous reason.

It was utterly unreasonable!

Boom!

Accompanied by a thunderous roar that shook the heavens, the sword was drawn.

A terrifying Sword Intent of Destruction descended, obliterating the spirit—the Sword Intent spread in all directions, falling into the Sea of Consciousness of the enemy, booming loudly, shaking the Sea of Consciousness, and in a flash built a twisted and winding spatial expressway between Immortal Burning Bone's Divine Soul and his Flying Sword, creating the shortest distance through space.

In the sky filled with thunderous light, a Blue-Gold Flying Sword vanished from sight.

"This is..."

"Sword, Qi, Thunder, Sound!"

Immortal Burning Bone, horrified to his core, felt a chill on his scalp.

He quickly expanded his domain around him, creating a scene within tens of kilometers where countless white bones emerged and sunk, with grey fire burning, controlling the flow of all the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi in the area.

Whoosh!

"Flame Bone Sword, out!"

Immortal Burning Bone roared furiously, as his Divine Soul and Mana exploded in power. Within the domain of floating white bones, a grey Flame Bone Sword transformed into a streak of light, aiming for the Blue-Gold Thunder coming from the sky, barely managing to block it at the critical moment.

Ding!

The two flying swords clashed.

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded, and the gray flame bone sword staggered backward, breaking apart, with five flying swords identical to the original separating from its surface—one after another collapsing.

No sooner had they materialized than they were destroyed, unable to exist for even a moment longer.

"Sword Splitting into Seven…"

Jiang Ding's expression was calm as he looked to his side.

A gray flame bone sword that was transparent and hazy appeared out of nowhere, striking at lightning speed towards his head.

Whoosh!

Jiang Ding casually flicked his hand, sending forth thirty-six streams of blue-gold sword qi from his fingertips. They struck the same spot on the gray flame bone sword simultaneously, perfectly timed, consolidating their greatest force in a brief moment.

With a plaintive cry, the gray flame bone sword shattered and dissipated.

"You are slightly stronger than True Master Yin Jiu,"

Jiang Ding commented.

"Sword Qi Thunder Sound… your Sword Dao surpasses Jianyang!"

Immortal Burning Bone now had no interest in True Master Yin Jiu, took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Step aside, you might be accepted by the Great Sun Sword Sect, otherwise, you will be an enemy of the Great Sun Sword Sect, death being the only resolution!"

Rumble!

In response, a blue-gold flying sword descended from the sky.

It split into nine, and between the blades, electromagnetic patterns reminiscent of lightning emerged, quickly forming a sea of electromagnetic thunder.

Streams of thunderous sword qi continuously struck towards the center, each imbued with the Sword Intent of Destruction.

"Remember, you brought this upon yourself,"

Immortal Burning Bone said coldly, no longer attempting to negotiate through words.

"Ten Thousand Bones!"

He uttered in a low voice.

Crack,

Crack, crack…

As Immortal Burning Bone enacted his will, the domain of white bones and gray flames within tens of kilometers began to transform, producing the interlocking sound of bones cracking.

Countless bones and gray flames within the domain shifted from illusions to reality, spontaneously assembling together.

Moments later,

One by one, white-boned skeletons arose from within the domain, each holding a longsword ablaze with gray flames, taking positions and merging their auras, suddenly forming a massive army formation in the blink of an eye.

Within it, various Sword Intents—flame, frost, sand—all chaotic and complex yet complementary to each other.

"Kill!"

The legion of bone puppet swords opened their jaws and roared in unison, slashing down with their gray fire longswords.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Countless gray flame bone swords flew from the army formation toward the sky, striking at the thunderous sword formation, and in a short time, they cleared a large swath of the Taiqing Flying Sword's Ten Thousand Magnetic Thunder Cloud Formation, escaping from peril.

"Your Sword Formation is quite impressive,"

Jiang Ding said with some surprise, glancing over the more than two hundred Sword Intent skeletons.

Within the Great Sun Sword Sect, there was a lineage known as the "Ten Thousand Skeletons Sword Fire Code," which could refine the cultivators it killed into puppets, growing stronger with each battle.

The Cultivation Method practiced by Immortal Burning Bone was just that.

Jiang Ding knew this the instant he laid eyes on Immortal Burning Bone, unable to hide any information.

The reason it was more powerful than anticipated should be due to those more than two hundred Sword Intent skeletons.

"More than two hundred…"

Jiang Ding's thoughts fluctuated with killing intent.

This meant that at least two hundred cultivators with the potential to comprehend Sword Intent had been prematurely matured by Diabolism into this inferior form of Sword Intent.

Among these more than two hundred talented Sword Dao cultivators, whose Cultivation Bases ranged from Foundation Establishment to Golden Pill, there was the potential for seven or eight, perhaps even ten, Immortals of Nascent Soul to emerge.

This man, with his own power, had killed the potential ten Immortals of Nascent Soul of the Great Sun Sword Sect's future, destroying at least two hundred years of reserve talent for the Great Sun Sword Sect, just to increase his own strength by that margin.

"Indeed,"

Jiang Ding shook his head slightly with a sigh: "Without its core, the Great Sun Sword Sect is nothing more than a swarm of insects. There's not a trace of the Domain Ruler's grandeur, barely stronger than a native sect."
