Chapter 129: Allies are Watching (2)
Xiao Yu began striding toward the Shamans making camp on the mountain ridge. Just a few steps later, he started climbing higher and higher into the sky. The swordsman was looking more and more like a sword immortal these days.
The Shaman force making camp below quickly discovered Xiao Yu. Two officers—both of them tall and big—immediately flew into the air to challenge him. Despite facing down two middle-stage Dao Foundation opponents alone, Xiao Yu wasn’t afraid in the slightest. He abruptly rose a hundred zhang higher and unsheathed more than half of his mystic sword. It looked as if a sun was slowly rising from his hands. Thousands and thousands of fire lotuses descended from the sky like lotus lamps, illuminating heaven and earth.
As the fire lotuses slowly rained down on the Shaman army, over a dozen Dao Foundation stage officers stepped up and unleashed blasts of pitch black light, sweeping away the incoming attack. However, the lotuses proved surprisingly tenacious and took several sweeps to eliminate just one. Despite the defensive effort, hundreds of fire lotuses still reached the camp and ignited over a hundred Shaman fighters in an instant!
The fire of the lotuses was extremely persistent. They refused to gout no matter how hard a Shaman fighter rolled on the ground. Moreover, catching just a tiny spark was enough to cause one to burst into flames and crumble into charcoal and ash in the span of breaths!
This was, in fact, the advanced version of the Three Thousand Lotuses Xiao Yu had executed back then. After he successfully forged the Immortal Sword The Sun, the green lotuses had transformed into fire lotuses. Though less pure than before, they were easily many times deadlier than before.
Xiao Yi was able to slay over a hundred Shaman fighters while being pressured by over a dozen opponents on the same cultivation level as him. His combat prowess was truly formidable. No wonder he dared to challenge an enemy force numbering several thousand.
The second his sect fellow took action, Wei Yuan could tell that his Dao Foundation had solidified completely. There was even a spark of divine essence in his immortal sword; a sign that he had entered the middle-stage of the Dao Foundation stage, vitality restoring. It not only greatly boosted The Sun’s power, but also gave it many minor miracles it did not possess when the Dao Foundation was just formed.
A huge tent had already been set up in the middle of the camp. Just then, a short, wizened Shaman emerged from inside and set his grayish white eyes on Xiao Yu. Suddenly, he shrieked out and chanted a long, frantic incantation. As he spoke, a deep green, eerie rune suddenly appeared underneath his feet!
Something formless and intangible shifted between heaven and earth, and Xiao Yu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of disgust and irritation. It felt as if everything around him had suddenly become extraordinarily loathsome.
