Chapter 1131 - Idea
Chapter 1131: Idea
The Nine-sworded Ruler’s strength was astonishing, and his sword techniques were even more terrifying. One sword strike could break mountains and rivers.
With a rumble, the ground split, and the mountains collapsed.
The Big Nine Heavens and Ten Earth Sacrificial Blood Formation, which was already incomplete, suddenly exploded. Fresh blood splattered all over the ground. This was the blood of the ancestors of the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis.
Crack! Crack! The ground began to crack.
Huge vortexes appeared in the surrounding swamps. The mud began to boil as if lime had been added to it.
The formation was dim and had been destroyed. A few people emerged from the ground like shooting stars.
“We’re finally out!”
The people who had just come out were exactly the same as when Jin Wu and Luo Shan had come out. They breathed in the air around them and felt as if they were in heaven.
There would be no harm if there was no comparison. The difference between the underground’s environment and this place was too great.
After feeling excited, Luo Qi and Jin Cheng looked at the silver-haired old man in the air. They knew that this old man was the one who had saved them from their suffering.
“Thank you, Sir Nine-sworded Ruler!”
Luo Qi and Jin Cheng looked at each other and knelt down together.
The other people who came out one after another did not have time to be excited and also knelt on the ground. At this moment, the Nine-sworded Ruler was like the son of Heaven, enjoying the worships of the people of the world.
“Get up.” The Nine-sworded Ruler sounded a little tired. Ou Yangming had tricked him to use his ultimate move, and he had opened the seal, hence it consumed a lot of his strength.
When the others heard the Nine-sworded Ruler’s words, they slowly got up. More and more people came out of the ground. In a short while, the sky was filled with people.
There were tens of thousands of people from the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis. Other than the young children, the rest were existences above Venerable Ones. There were also many ordinary Rulers.
In the post-ancient times, when the Shamans fought against the Dragons and the Phoenixes, the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis did not put in any effort, and they did not suffer much damage. Their Bloodline Powers were well preserved, and they were far from what the Shaman Tribe with mottled bloodlines could compare to.
Luo Qi scanned the crowd and noticed the 2 injured Rulers from their clan. These 2 powerhouses had come out with Luo Shan, but Luo Shan was nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s Luo Shan?” Luo Qi asked
The 2 Rulers hurriedly replied, “Sir Luo Shan has died in battle.”
When Luo Qi heard this, the flames of anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.
Another Ruler who comprehended the laws had died, and he was his most loyal subordinate.
The Nine-sworded Ruler’s gaze turned to Luo Qi, and he said, “Before I came out, he was already dead. The ones who attacked were a Shaman and a human. They’ve escaped, but they must still be in the heart of origins. You must find them as quickly as possible.”
As he spoke, his finger gently moved in the air. The power of laws in the air conjured 2 lifelike figures, which were 90% similar to Ou Yangming and Du Xie.
After just a few looks, the Nine-sworded Ruler had memorized the appearances of these 2 people, especially the young fellow. The thought of the fellow could not help but make him clench his teeth.
“So Luo Shan was killed by these 2 people.”
Luo Qi looked at the figures in the sky with a dangerous glint in his eyes. They had come out, so the Shaman Tribe would have to pay with blood.
His son and his subordinate… This blood feud must be repaid 100 times over.
Jin Cheng’s complexion was better than Luo Qi’s. One of his sons had died at the hands of the Ancient Shamans, but his younger brother was still fine and survived. Of course, he did not know that Jin Wu had to bow and scrape to survive. If he knew, he would probably have an even more ghastly look on his face.
Luo Qi pointed at the 2 figures in the sky and said to his people behind him, “Remember how they look. They’re our enemies, so we must find them in the heart of origins in the shortest time possible and kill them. If you encounter other Ancient Shamans, you don’t need to ask for permission; just kill them without mercy!”
“Yes!” There was excitement in the loud and clear voices.
In the underground world, since there were no other races, the Qiongqis and the Golden Crows were allies and could not fight each other. Especially the Qiongqis, they had long held back their desire to kill. Now that they had come to the Great Wide World, their nature could be released.
Jin Cheng also announced this order. If the Nine-sworded Ruler helped them come out, he was the savior of their clans. Moreover, they had been tied to his boat, so it was impossible for them to go back on their word.
Only by following the Nine-sworded Ruler to fight their way out would they gain the recognition of the Great Wide World and even become the masters of this place.
With that, countless powerhouses from the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis above the Abyss Swamp flew like locusts. The monsters in the Abyss Swamp did not dare to show their heads.
A million kilometers east of the Abyss Swamp, the enormous dragon boat had fallen to the ground.
On the dragon boat, Ou Yangming and Du Xie both let out a sigh of relief.
After getting so far away, they could finally confirm that the Nine-sworded Ruler had not caught up. That powerhouse was too terrifying. Killing them would be a piece of cake for him.
“Lil’ Friend Ou, I really find it hard to believe that you escaped from the hands of a mighty figure of the third step and even exchanged a move with him.” Du Xie’s words were filled with disbelief. In his mind, to escape from the hands of a mighty figure of the third step was an almost impossible thing to do.
Ou Yangming calmed himself down before letting out a bitter laugh. “It was just luck.”
Indeed, Ou Yangming was not lying. Luck was indeed the biggest reason they could escape. If it was not because their opponent was careless and did not use his full strength right away, if it was not for the Self-examination Mirror’s effect, if it was not for the dragon boat that was snatched, the 2 of them would have long since turned into a pile of dirt.
“Luck is also a kind of strength.” Du Xie still could not calm down. He took a careful look at Ou Yangming and said, “Besides, you could exchange a move with him. This has proved that you’re not inferior to that of a Ruler of the second step.”
“It was nothing, it was nothing,” Ou Yangming said humbly. He looked at the empty sky behind him and asked, “Who do you think the Nine-sworded Ruler is? Why was he below the Shaman Tribe’s Sealing Formation?”
The Big Nine Heavens and Ten Earth Sacrificial Blood Formation sealed the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis. How did such a fearsome existence like Nine-sworded Ruler appear?
Ou Yangming was not the only one who could not figure it out. Du Xie was clueless as well. If he knew that a Ruler of the third step was there, he would not have gone there at all.
This time, they only managed a narrow escape.
Du Xie said in a deep voice, “I don’t quite understand either. Perhaps he entered from another place.”
Another place?
There could be many other places, thus Ou Yangming and Du Xie could not guess at all.
Du Xie sighed and said, “This kind of problem can only be explained to us by powerhouses who have reached the third step. At their level, we simply can’t understand what kind of power they have.”
“Do you think that with his strength, he could destroy the formation?” Ou Yangming suddenly asked.
Du Xie’s expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, “I have to return to the tribe as soon as possible. If I’m not mistaken, the people of the Qiongqis and the Golden Crows are heading in that direction now. We have to go back before they arrive.”
“Alright, let’s hurry back!” Ou Yangming did not hesitate. He had gotten the answer from the look on Du Xie’s face. At this moment, the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis had probably broken out of the seal. When he thought of the strength of those powerhouses who had broken out of the seal earlier, a wave of pressure also rose in his heart.
Earlier on, there were only a few people. Now, all of the powerhouses from both clans had come out. No one knew how many powerhouses they had and whether they had Rulers at the second step of the law.
Ou Yangming and Du Xie quickly flew in the sky.
After more than 20 days, they finally returned to the Shaman Tribe. When the dragon boat exploded, it saved them a lot of time.
During this period that they had left, the tribe had become brand new.
Tall wooden houses that were suitable for their sizes had been built around them. The war remains on the ground had been cleaned up, and the tribe was full of vitality.
Seeing this scene, Du Xie felt bad. The members had just built a place to live, but they had to leave again. This time, they were going to run for their lives.
“Clan Master, Lil’ Friend Ou, you’re back.”
From afar, Du Jian saw the 2 people return. He ran over quickly. The other elders of the tribe heard the news and hurried over too.
Du Jian asked, “Clan Master, how is it? How’s the situation over at the seal?”
The other elders of the tribe also looked anxious. They did not know what kind of news the clan master had brought them.
Du Xie fell silent. He did not look good.
This caused everyone’s hearts to sink. An elder asked, “Clan Master, how’s the situation there? Could it be that the seal can no longer hold on?”
“How long can the seal hold on, Clan Master? If it can’t hold on anymore, we can make plans ahead.”
Seeing everyone’s anxious expressions, Du Xie said, “If I’m not wrong, the seal has been broken.”
“What’s the situation? Why is that so?”
Everyone was somewhat puzzled.
Du Jian also quickly asked, “Clan Master, you’re not sure? Did you not find that place?”
Du Xie thought for a moment. He decided to cut to the chase, by which he told them the true situation. After hearing the news, everyone fell silent.
“A powerhouse of the third step.”
“A powerhouse of the third step appeared!”
Everyone did not look good. As the elders of the Shaman Tribe, they understood what this meant.
For such a powerhouse to appear in the heart of origins and stand on the side of the Golden Crows and the Qiongqis, this was simply the worst news for the Shaman Tribe.
Given their situation at the moment, not to mention a mighty figure of the third step, even if it was a second-step Ruler, they would be wiped out. Besides, there were also the other powerhouses from the Qiongqis and the Golden Crows. Who could guarantee that they did not have formidable powerhouses among them?
“What should we do?” An elder asked blankly.
“Is Heaven really going to cut off the bloodline inheritance of our tribe?”
Everyone including Du Xie kept quiet. As the clan master, Du Xie had never felt such heavy pressure.
“I might have an idea.”
Just as Du Xie was about to say that he would lead everyone to flee to the ends of the earth, Ou Yangming’s voice was suddenly heard.
