Watching this sword descend with unstoppable momentum, even Mo Fan could not help holding his breath.
At the same time, he mentally calculated: if he swapped places with the Chilong Saint King, would he be able to block this strike?
The result sent a chill through his heart.
Even if he used Chilong Transformation, he probably could not withstand it, though he would not necessarily die.
If he fully unleashed the power of the Devouring Heaven Bone, he might just be able to take it.
Thus, his eyes locked tightly onto the Chilong Saint King.
Could that fellow block this sword?
He soon had his answer.
The sword slashed fiercely onto the Chilong Saint King’s neck, yet it only broke through his protective dragon qi before being completely shattered by a draconic roar shockwave he released!
“All you ants must die!!”
The Chilong Saint King roared in fury. His enormous body soared into the air and, with one claw, smashed the giant chessboard to pieces!
Several figures exploded into clouds of blood mist mid-air.
As for Yaoguang and Tianxuan, they turned into two streaks of starlight at the critical moment and fled.
“Evil creature, do not be arrogant!”
At that instant, a white figure appeared above the Chilong Saint King’s head and manifested his form. Mo Fan was stunned when he saw him.
This monster was someone he knew: Old Ancestor Bailu of White Feather Mountain!
Good grief, he actually chose this moment to swoop in and pick the fruit!
Mo Fan’s face twitched slightly, but very quickly a look of enjoying the show appeared on his face.
He knew full well how terrifying the Chilong Saint King was. Although his cultivation had been temporarily sealed, he still possessed peak King realm strength, more than enough to crush every cultivator present.
Not to mention the fellow’s horrifying power and freakish defence.
At this point, Old Ancestor Bailu took one step forward. His slightly hunched figure instantly straightened, his aged face grew younger at the same moment.
In a single step, he changed from a decrepit old man into a handsome youth clad in white feathered robes, while his aura abruptly multiplied countless times!
Then he attacked. He merely pointed a finger, and endless white feathers immediately flew out like snowflakes, instantly covering the Chilong Saint King’s massive body.
“Roar—”
In the next moment, a dragon tail burst through the feathers and struck Old Ancestor Bailu viciously.
The latter exploded with a boom, turning into a sky full of white feathers.
At the same time, a figure shot out from below and fled into the distance.
Mo Fan’s gaze focused. He looked over and saw it was indeed Old Ancestor Bailu.
Moreover, the immortal sword was now in his hand. Somehow he had snatched it from the Chilong Saint King!
“Come back here!”
The Chilong Saint King flew into a rage. He opened his mouth and inhaled fiercely. Streams of air surged out, locking onto Old Ancestor Bailu and dragging him backwards. Terror appeared on the old man’s face.
“Damn it, that little bastard tricked me! How does this look like something I could win even with his help?”
Old Ancestor Bailu cursed repeatedly. Seeing he could not break free, he simply flung the immortal sword towards the Black Water Old Demon who was watching the drama from afar and shouted, “Lord Chilong Saint King, I was forced! It was all that fellow’s fault! I have always been loyal to you!!”
“You deserve to die. All of you deserve to die!”
The Chilong Saint King snorted coldly. He swiped a claw at Old Ancestor Bailu, then flew straight towards the Black Water Old Demon without looking back.
The Black Water Old Demon, who had been grinning while enjoying the spectacle, felt his face twitch. He wanted to turn and run, but faced with the immortal sword about to fall into his hands, greed won. He reached out, took the sword, and immediately fled!
“No, this is not the outcome I wanted!”
Seeing this, Mo Fan frowned. He ignored Old Ancestor Bailu’s fate and chased after the Black Water Old Demon instead.
His plan was for all the cultivators to fight the Chilong Saint King together, not for the Chilong Saint King to pick them off one by one.
In that brief interval, the Black Water Old Demon had already exchanged blows with the Chilong Saint King.
He was indeed very powerful, yet even so he was blasted apart several times. What shocked Mo Fan was that the Black Water Old Demon truly seemed to be a demon formed from water. Every time he was destroyed, he turned into a puddle, only to reform in an instant. It was rather eerie.
After being blown up repeatedly, the Black Water Old Demon panicked. He immediately took out the immortal sword and tossed it towards a nearby minor cultivator.
The minor cultivator caught the sword reflexively, but when he saw the Chilong Saint King bearing down on him with murderous intent, he froze, then hurriedly threw away the hot potato in his hand!
For a moment, the immortal sword that everyone had been fighting over became something no one wanted to touch. It was passed around frantically through the crowd.
After chasing fruitlessly for a while, the Chilong Saint King grew furious. He no longer cared whether the sword left his reach; any cultivator who had touched it could not escape. More than half of them were slain by him.
Finally, the immortal sword unintentionally landed in the hands of someone Mo Fan knew.
It was Cang Gu of the Shenwu Sect.
When Cang Gu saw the killing intent in the Chilong Saint King’s eyes, he panicked, turned tail, and ran while shouting, “Ancestor, save me!”
The golden-armoured ancestor appeared helplessly, but the instant he showed himself, the Chilong Saint King smashed him with a single claw!
At this point, Mo Fan also realised something was wrong. This time, the Chilong Saint King’s power was clearly much greater!
“Not good. The cultivation that was sealed is gradually recovering!”
Mo Fan’s heart jolted. He no longer cared about anything else and flew straight towards Cang Gu, shouting, “Throw the immortal sword to me!”
Seeing it was Mo Fan, Cang Gu did not hesitate and immediately tossed the sword over.
Yet after catching it, Mo Fan did not continue fleeing. Instead, he turned into a bolt of lightning and charged straight at the Chilong Saint King. At the same time, his voice echoed throughout the entire cavern.
“Esteemed seniors, the cultivation sealed within this chilong is gradually recovering. If we cannot kill him now, every single one of us cultivators will die!”
“To tell the truth, all the tunnels have already been secretly sealed by formations. There is no escape. Our only chance of survival is to kill this chilong!”
“Whoever slays this dragon may have the immortal sword!”
“If I break this oath, may Heaven and Earth destroy me!”
“Everyone here is intelligent. How to choose is up to you!”
Mo Fan knew full well that even with the Chilong Saint King weakened, he alone was far from being a match for it, especially since he could not use Chilong Transformation at the moment. He would have to fully awaken the Devouring Heaven Bone.
But fully awakening the Devouring Heaven Bone would very likely cause the seal on his inner space to reappear, which was the last thing he wanted.
Moreover, although the Yingying Monster could lift seals, it had not even fully removed the restrictions on that bronze mirror yet, let alone the immortal sword.
It was better to use the immortal sword as bait to lure all these cultivators into attacking together and suppress the Chilong Saint King.
Sure enough, the moment he finished speaking, the expressions of the cultivators changed.
Most of them immediately rushed to the nearby tunnels, only to discover that, just as Mo Fan had said, they were blocked by mysterious formations. They could not get out at all!
Some Nascent Soul cultivators attacked the barriers, but they too failed to break through. In the end, they had no choice but to charge at the Chilong Saint King.
“Only by killing this evil dragon can we survive!”
“The chilong is a legendary divine beast. Its entire body is treasure. If we can slay it, the benefits we gain may not be less than an immortal treasure!”
“Kill!!!”
