Chapter 164 The Last String
In the face of the convergence of ten thousand swords, the Spirit Gathering cultivators, whose actions were delayed, were also feeling a sense of dread.
Any cultivator with a bit of insight can see the value of the convergence of ten thousand swords.
However, under the paralysis of thunder, the freezing of frost, the heaviness of earth elements, and the pressure of other forces, he lost the last bit of room to dodge and could only hope that his own magic weapon would be powerful enough.
At first, he breathed a sigh of relief. The crystal wall of the Green Silk Umbrella had an extremely strong resistance, and the hundreds of conceptual sword shadows could not break through its defense.
But there were too many sword shadows!
When the first failed judgment of the sword shadow broke through, it became a certain fact that more and more sword shadows would break through the defense of the Green Silk Umbrella. Its defensive function had reached its limit.
Countless sword shadows engulfed this Spirit Gathering cultivator. Even though his cultivation level was one realm higher than Chu Shen's, at this moment, he could only be pierced through by ten thousand swords, completely annihilated. The sword shadows in the sky were like a dragon, roaring as they swallowed him, leaving nothing but bone fragments.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned. A Foundation Building cultivator killing a Spirit Gathering cultivator?
At this moment, someone remembered something.
Chu Shen is now a member of the prestigious Langxuan Heavenly Palace's elite sequence. Although he has not yet participated in the sect's grand competition and does not have a clear ranking, he is indeed a genius of the holy land!
Being called a genius is not something that everyone can achieve, but there must be someone who can achieve it!
Chu Shen is obviously one of them.
Watching him form sword seals and the sword rain once again forming into a dragon of sword shadows, charging towards the other two Spirit Gathering cultivators who were entangled with Bai Ying, the group of transportation officials below panicked completely.
"Transportation officials, the situation is not good, should we retreat?" someone's voice already had a tremor.
"No, we can't retreat," the subordinate who had previously advised the envoy spoke up again. "Chu Shen's strength has surpassed our estimation, but he is still only at the Foundation Building stage. Killing a Spirit Gathering stage expert will definitely come at a great cost."
"And we still have two Spirit Gathering stage experts confronting them. Although we are currently at a disadvantage, we can still hold on."
"At this moment, we should gather our strength, regardless of the cost, and forcefully break through the defenses of the Chu family's residence. Even if there are heavy casualties, if we can secure the hostages, there will at least be hope of escape."
"But if we retreat now, not only will the capture of the Chu family's residence be in vain, it will also severely dampen the fighting spirit of the two Spirit Gathering stage experts, possibly leading to their defeat."
"At that time, the others who are unaware of the situation will only become chaotic, and our forces will crumble. We will lose all initiative!"
In the sky, Chu Shen's sword shadows were like a long dragon, with the assistance of Bai Ying. The two Spirit Gathering stage experts were struggling, and the situation looked unfavorable. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that the two of them were being cautious and guarding their surroundings. Although they had lost their advantage, the situation had not collapsed. Both sides were engaged in a back-and-forth struggle, resulting in a stalemate.
The subordinate's argument was actually reasonable, but he overlooked the mindset of the envoy and the others.
When they had the advantage, the envoy and the others could naturally be arrogant and confident. With such a huge advantage, how could they lose?
But when the advantage was broken, the once arrogant became panicked.
To go all-in, either win or die?
No, there was actually an option to die. It was too terrifying!
So they chose the third path: to run faster than anyone else!
Being chosen to carry out this confidential mission, the envoy was certainly not a fool. But his biggest problem was that he was not a fool: if he died, everything would be lost, but if he stayed alive, it would be different. There would still be countless opportunities to turn the tide.
"Since you think there is still a chance of winning, then I'll leave the command to you. If we can make it back, I'll help you claim credit!"
After shifting the blame, the envoy did not hesitate and turned around to run. His trusted subordinates followed suit, even secretly mocking this cunning subordinate.
"This guy must be crazy to want to show off like this."
"Who says he isn't? Chu Shen's Sword Shadow Dragon is so terrifying, it's clearly an extraordinary skill. Whoever tries to stop him will die. And he actually wants us to accompany him in his madness."
"Even those at the Spirit Gathering stage were defeated, and he still thinks we can win?"
"Let him go, if he wants to make a name for himself, let him have this opportunity."
The abandoned subordinate's heart turned cold, as cold as ice. He never expected that after giving his all in strategizing, his superior would leave him behind to cover their retreat, and in such a contemptuous manner.
Unfilial!
Soon, anger followed.
"Damn it, these idiots. Do they really think they can escape unscathed like this?"
Where is this place? The Langhuan Heavenly Palace! A sacred place!
Why was the original plan to conceal their tracks and carry out all actions in secrecy?
It's because even the slightest clue discovered by the Langhuan Heavenly Palace would lead to very troublesome consequences, let alone the current situation where their actions are almost exposed.
Even if he sacrifices himself to cover their retreat and give the envoy and others a chance to escape the scene, can everything really be treated as if it never happened?
The Heavenly Palace of Langxuan is indeed a sacred place with various means. There are too many clues left at the scene that has not been cleaned up. It will definitely be thoroughly investigated afterwards. None of the people involved in this operation will be safe!
The organization cannot choose to confront the Heavenly Palace of Langxuan head-on. How can they avoid being caught by the Heavenly Palace of Langxuan?
Of course, it is to silence them!
Once they choose to evade now, those who have participated in the operation will have no future!
They must desperately take down the Chu family and Chu Shen, continue to advance the plan with significant flaws, and then erase the traces as much as possible to avoid being easily caught by the Heavenly Palace of Langxuan. That is the right choice!
Although this path is very difficult and the danger has increased dramatically, it is still a way out. But the people from the Transport Division actually ran away?
"You guys are doomed, do you know that?"
This cunning subordinate was full of grief and indignation.
If the people from the Transport Division were willing to fight desperately, at least there would be more manpower, which would be a force. If the leader appeared on the front line, it would greatly inspire morale and greatly increase the success rate of continuing the plan.
But now?
He could only force the exhausted frontline personnel to continue filling the lines, making the already declining morale even lower due to the large number of casualties.
What a disappointment!
He scolded the people from the Transport Division again, but still had to go ahead with a brave face.
This time, he put all his strength into it and launched a strong attack regardless of casualties, instantly increasing the pressure on the Chu family and others.
In the sky, Chu Shen also noticed the almost frantic scene of filling the lines below, knowing that the opponent was going all out, and he became anxious.
