The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1419 - 1416: The Time of Extreme Darkness!

Chapter 1419: Chapter 1416: The Time of Extreme Darkness!

The sun sets in the west, painting the sky a bloody red, as if the blood of a divine spirit had spilled across the heavens!

Nie Xiong, Zhuo Lian, Jing Shu, Luo Xuan, Lei Yizhe, and over seventy other disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect stood on the platform of Xian Dong Mountain. Their gazes were fixated on the setting sun, which slowly descended as nightfall enveloped the earth.

"It has begun."

Nie Xiong’s face was shrouded with an inescapable gloom.

Jing Shu said, "Tonight is the half-month deadline mentioned by Huang Lang. Today, Tianxiao Mountain will begin their assault!"

Zhuo Lian glanced back towards the inside of the mountain and said softly, "Senior Brother Dongfang hasn’t finished his seclusion. He must not have made a breakthrough yet."

Luo Xuan asked, "Then what should we do?"

Nie Xiong replied, "There’s no other way. We must fight with all we’ve got!"

Both Zhuo Lian and Jing Shu’s faces were tainted with bitterness.

Nie Xiong said with a cold voice, "Brothers, no more hesitation. Even if we flee, we die, and if we don’t flee, we still die. In that case, we might as well fight fiercely until the end!"

Zhuo Lian took a deep breath and said, "That’s right. Even if we escape now, tomorrow when the White Snake Clan arrives, they’ll find out we’ve fled, and we won’t escape death then either!"

"Better to fight fiercely tonight!"

Jing Shu spoke in a cold voice, "Then let’s fight with all our strength!"

At that moment, Jing Shu took out a Magic Circle Compass from her storage bag. She looked at it, and the compass showed numerous red dots densely clustered and moving towards Xian Dong Mountain.

"They’re here," Jing Shu declared.

Nie Xiong’s face was stern as he drew his sharp sword and shouted, "Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"Present!" all the disciples answered in unison.

"Follow me and slay these beasts!" Nie Xiong roared, leaping forth, flying out of Xian Dong Mountain, followed by all the disciples who soared out into the mountain range!

Jing Shu glanced back inside the mountain. After entering, she activated the hidden Magic Circle of the Spirit Attraction Array, and it vanished within the mountain.

"Senior Brother Dongfang, if we fall in battle, I hope the Demon Clan of Tianxiao Mountain does not discover the concealed Magic Circle that you’re unaware of. If you survive this disaster, you must make it back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect alive and help us kill Zhu Lie, destroy the Zhu Family, and annihilate the Valley of Demons!"

Jing Shu stood outside the Spirit Attraction Array, her expression particularly solemn as she spoke, drew her treasure sword, then turned and charged out of the mountain cave.

Outside Xian Dong Mountain.

Huang Long and Huang Hu stood side by side, gazing into the distance at Xian Dong Mountain.

Huang Long said coldly, "It seems we haven’t alarmed the snake. They haven’t sought help from the White Snake Clan. There are only about seventy disciples on Xian Dong Mountain now."

"Brother, do we have enough people?"

Huang Hu laughed, "Don’t worry, big brother. I’ve recruited over two hundred solo Demon Clan warriors from the surrounding areas at the price of three Spirit Awakening Grasses. Most of them are around the Sixth Level of the Yin Saint Realm. Taking down Xian Dong Mountain will be as easy as flipping one’s hand."

"Good! Let them handle those little ones. We’ll go to Xian Dong Mountain; you go kill that powerful Sword Cultivator, and I’ll take the Spirit Awakening Grass!"

"Alright."

Huang Hu nodded and replied.

Instantly, a brutal battle erupted within the mountain range!

Huang Long and Huang Hu swiftly launched their assault towards Xian Dong Mountain.

Swoosh—

Suddenly, a bright sword light burst through the clouds from the earth below, shooting straight towards their faces.

Huang Hu was startled, swung the green lantern in his hand, and a shadow enveloped it, shattering the sword light directly.

"Have you two lost your way?" At this moment, a figure flew up from below, and it was none other than Nie Xiong.

Beside Nie Xiong stood Zhuo Lian, Luo Xuan, Lei Yizhe, and Jing Shu, all looking coldly at Huang Long and Huang Hu!

Huang Hu whispered, "Big brother, these four are the strongest warriors here, aside from that powerful sword cultivator."

Huang Long looked at Nie Xiong and the others with cold eyes and a hint of frost on his face, "I advise you not to block my way, or else I’ll personally send you all to the Netherworld!"

"Then let’s see who sends who to the Netherworld!" Nie Xiong’s expression turned cold, he leapt up with his sword, sending a cold sweep of sword light down, attacking Huang Long.

"Take action!"

Luo Xuan also shouted coldly, attacking Huang Long and Huang Hu together with Zhuo Lian, Jing Shu, and Lei Yizhe!

Sword light danced fiercely, assaulting Huang Long and Huang Hu.

"How presumptuous! A bunch of warriors at the fifth level of the Dark Saint Realm dare to defy me?" Huang Long’s face chilled as demonic Qi surged through his body, and he dashed straight toward Nie Xiong and the others!

With one strike, Nie Xiong’s sword light was instantly shattered by Huang Long’s palm, which then heavily hit Nie Xiong’s chest, sending him flying back and crashing heavily onto the earth.

"Senior Brother Nie Xiong!" Jing Shu exclaimed.

Huang Hu sneered, "Young lady, did the elders in your family never teach you that you must never be distracted in battle?"

Huang Hu raised the green lantern in his hand and sent Jing Shu flying!

Jing Shu hit the ground, coughing up fresh blood.

The disparity in their realms was too great, leaving Nie Xiong and Jing Shu almost powerless to fight back against Huang Hu and Huang Long!

Nie Xiong got up and roared, "Junior Sister Jing Shu, Junior Brother Zhuo Lian, Junior Brother Luo Xuan, Junior Brother Lei Yizhe, use the sword array!"

"Alright!" Jing Shu also got up and, together with Zhuo Lian and the others, executed the sword array!

Spiritual power surged through the five of them, converging into a massive sword array that slashed towards Huang Long and Huang Hu!

"Moon Breaking Sword Formation!"

This sword array, which Nie Xiong had learned at the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, required the combined efforts of five people to wield its power. It was powerful enough to scare even a demon beast at the eighth level of the Dark Saint Realm!

This was also the trump card that Nie Xiong and his companions had focused on mastering over the past half a month!

Now deployed, the sword array’s power erupted tumultuously, bearing down on Huang Hu!

Huang Hu’s eyes widened as the terrifying power of the sword array bloodied him and forced him back, step by step, and even the green lantern in his hand showed faint signs of fracturing.

"Kill him!" Nie Xiong hardened his heart and yelled to the others, unleashing the full force of the sword array on Huang Hu!

"Big brother!" Huang Hu cried out.

Huang Long saw this and a gleam flashed in his eyes. He scoffed, "Hmm, this sword array does have some power. It’s just a pity that you’re too weak. Otherwise, this array alone would’ve been enough to wipe us out!"

"But as it stands, you’re not enough!"

Huang Long’s figure flashed, gathering apocalyptic strength in his palm, and struck down at the sword array. A thunderous boom resounded, and Nie Xiong, Jing Shu, Zhuo Lian, Luo Xuan, and the others were sent flying like kites without strings, smashing onto the platform of Fairy Cave Mountain, their bodies bloodied and already severely injured!

Huang Long and Huang Hu landed on the platform of Fairy Cave Mountain.

Huang Long looked up at the cave and stepped forward, "Second brother, kill them. I’ll go check the Spirit Awakening Grass."

"No problem, Big Brother. Leave it to me," Huang Hu said with a cold laugh.
