Chapter 2584 - 2274: There’s No Regret Medicine in This World
Chapter 2584: Chapter 2274: There’s No Regret Medicine in This World
Lu Chen gripped the longsword, gathering all his spiritual evil into the sword, and then unleashed the Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills.
There are a total of seven swords in the Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills, each sword more terrifying than the last.
Lu Chen shouted: "Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills, first sword!"
The sword moves of the Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills have no names, only first sword, second sword, third sword.
As the first sword swung out, the heavens and earth changed color, and in the Eternal Night, a dazzling white light appeared, making the entire Border Wilderness seem to brighten.
Feeling the power of this first sword, the calm expression on Tao Jin’s face instantly disappeared.
He had seen Spirit Martial Artists at the mid-stage Saint Realm and even late-period Saint Realm take action.
But those Spirit Martial Artists were far inferior to Lu Chen, and their single sword strike did not carry such terrifying power as Lu Chen’s.
Tao Jin was puzzled; his Locking Spirit Array should have already taken effect, and it’s estimated that most of Lu Chen’s spiritual evil had been drained. So why could he still unleash such a terrifying sword?
If this sword came at him, even if he wouldn’t die, he would suffer serious injuries.
No, he couldn’t take it head-on; he must use his life-saving trump card.
Without any hesitation, Tao Jin immediately took out a shield from his space ring, and shouted: "Heavenly God Shield!"
In the next moment, a gigantic shield appeared in the sky, rapidly expanding into a city wall reaching the sky.
The Sword Evil cleaved towards Tao Jin’s Heavenly God Shield and gradually dissipated.
It must be said that as the ancestor of a prominent family in Central State, Tao Jin’s trump cards indeed had some effect.
The Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills is an Emperor Realm Sword Skill, and Lu Chen used his full strength, yet Tao Jin was able to block this sword.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was also slightly surprised.
But this was only the first sword; there are seven swords in the Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills. Lu Chen immediately swung another sword, and in the next moment, a Sword Evil spanning thousands of meters once again slashed towards Tao Jin.
Tao Jin intended to continue urging the Heavenly God Shield, but at that moment, the golden shield emitting a golden glow in the sky dimmed and gradually turned into starlight.
A drop of cold sweat involuntarily dripped from Tao Jin’s forehead.
Even a Holy-level Treasure like the Heavenly God Shield was destroyed after just one use.
Fortunately, the Tao Family’s wealth and resources meant they had more than one life-saving trump card.
Tao Jin immediately took out an ancient bronze bell from his space ring, which covered him.
The Sword Evil from the second sword struck the ancient bronze bell, instantly slicing a crack into it.
Seeing that the ancient bronze bell couldn’t withstand the Sword Evil, Tao Jin’s expression changed dramatically.
He hadn’t expected that Lu Chen’s sword this time would be hundreds of times more terrifying than the last, with such immense power that he’d have to use the ultimate trump card.
Tao Jin took out a black pearl from his space ring, shouting: "O supreme being! I am willing to exchange half of my vitality for your protection!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thick black gas emanated from the pearl, enveloping the sky and constantly changing.
After the black mist formed, a woman’s silhouette appeared above Tao Jin’s head.
Seeing the woman, Lu Chen was momentarily stunned.
The woman’s eyes were hollow, clad in a black long dress, with mysterious power swirling around her, spreading in all directions, twisting the space under its influence.
Tao Jin’s vitality quickly drained, making his already aging body even more withered, skin sunken, turning his entire being into skin and bones, looking extremely grim.
At this moment, the woman in the black dress raised a hand, and a gigantic palm appeared in the sky.
With that palm, she directly shattered the Sword Evil unleashed by Lu Chen.
Tao Jin looked at Lu Chen with resentment; if it weren’t for Lu Chen, he wouldn’t have needed to use this move, which drained half of his vitality and made it impossible for him to break through to the mid-stage Saint Realm in his lifetime, and greatly reduced his lifespan. Lu Chen must die!
Then he said to the woman in the black dress above: "Please, revered one, avenge me and kill this man!"
Just as Tao Jin thought Lu Chen was doomed, the woman in the black dress in the sky remained motionless, only silently watching Lu Chen from a distance.
A hint of surprise flickered across her previously expressionless face.
Seeing the woman in the black dress unresponsive, Tao Jin looked at her in confusion. What was going on?
Wasn’t it said that as long as she was provided with vitality, she would agree to any request? Why wouldn’t she attack?
In fact, at this moment, the most surprised person was Lu Chen because the woman in the black dress was Su Hanyan, one of the Ancestors of the Strange.
In the past, he thought the Ancestor’s Divine Sense in the Memory Pearl could only await unsealing, unable to do anything. But now, seeing that Tao Jin was able to release that Divine Sense from the Memory Pearl, and that Divine Sense could exert the power of the Ancestor of the Strange.
Su Hanyan’s Memory Pearl unexpectedly landed in his hands, truly his good fortune.
After coming to his senses, Lu Chen’s lips curled slightly, revealing a smile on his face.
Since there’s an Ancestor of the Strange’s Memory Pearl in front of him, he might as well take it.
Lu Chen took out the Rebirth Stone.
The Rebirth Stone floated in the air, emitting colorful light.
Su Hanyan’s fragment sensed that her mysterious power was being suppressed, and she quickly retreated into the Memory Pearl. In the next moment, the Rebirth Stone devoured Su Hanyan’s Memory Pearl effortlessly, sealing it.
Tao Jin was stunned, seeing the Ancestor of the Strange’s Memory Pearl being sealed; his mind went blank.
This was the Tao Family’s greatest trump card, their ancestors had relied on this pearl to defeat many enemies.
But precisely because of this pearl, the lifespan of the Tao Family ancestors had always been short.
The Tao Family paid a huge price every time they used this pearl.
The Tao Family’s greatest trump card was so easily sealed in front of Lu Chen.
For a moment, Tao Jin found it hard to accept; their ancestors had used this pearl to survive pursuits by Emperor Realm experts, yet Lu Chen, a mere Saint Realm cultivator, was able to seal this pearl, how could it be?
After securing Su Hanyan’s Memory Pearl, Lu Chen smiled at Tao Jin and said: "Do you have any other trump cards? If not, then you can die."
Tao Jin quickly said: "Our Tao Family is willing to submit to Dazhou and pledge loyalty to you!"
Given the circumstances, if the battle continued, he would die, and the Tao Family would face annihilation. Though unwilling to be subjugated, circumstances were beyond his control. Once the Eternal Night ends, they would simply return to Central State.
Tao Jin believed that as a Saint Realm cultivator pledging allegiance to Dazhou, Lu Chen would certainly agree.
In this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
For Lu Chen, keeping him as a living Saint Realm cultivator would be greatly beneficial; a living Saint Realm is more valuable than a dead one.
If there were ever a Deceit Tide surging towards the Border Wilderness, their Tao Family could still help Dazhou fend off the tide.
Hearing Tao Jin’s words, Lu Chen chuckled and said: "If you had chosen to pledge loyalty to Dazhou earlier, I might have spared you and the Tao Family, but sadly, you made the wrong choice, and there’s no regret medicine in this world."
As he spoke, Lu Chen gathered all his spiritual evil and swung the third sword of the Heavenly Cutting Seven Kills. After this sword went out, a dazzling white light appeared in the sky above the Border Wilderness, illuminating the entire world like daylight, making people dare not even open their eyes.
Tao Jin hastily mobilized the remaining spiritual evil in his body and burned his blood essence, trying to withstand this sword.
"Noooooo!!!!"
