Chapter 766: Sword Slays Thunder Beast
Seeing all nine Yuzuri Takishiro vanish simultaneously, Lin Qiye's brow furrowed.
The next moment, a familiar white-haired figure stepped out from the void, standing unharmed beside Lin Qiye, their eyes filled with mockery as they gazed at the thunder beast.
The nine Yuzuri Takishiro rushing toward the sky were all his phantoms.
Yuzuri Takishiro raised both hands, rapidly forming seals in front of him. The nine black spears circling the thunder beast suddenly began to tremble violently, and chains like giant pythons狂舞ed through the air, coiling around the thunder beast's body.
In just two seconds, the thunder beast's body was firmly fixed in place by these chains, like a giant execution platform, unable to move at all.
The thunder beast struggled furiously, brilliant lightning continuously erupting from its body, striking the surface of those chains, but only leaving shallow marks.
"You'd better hurry. This item can hold for at most another minute."
Yuzuri Takishiro turned to look at Lin Qiye, speaking solemnly.
After completing this series of operations, Yuzuri Takishiro's mana was left at less than one-third, and he only had one [Wil's Demon Execution Platform] item. It would be impossible to repeat this scene again.
"That's enough."
A cold light flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes. His feet slammed against the ground, his figure merging into the night, rushing toward the thunder beast trapped in the execution platform.
He took a deep breath and slowly raised the wooden chopsticks in his hand...
Toward the distant thunder beast,
He slashed lightly.
Snap—!!
His fingertips gently用力, and this wooden chopstick exploded into fragments!
The wind and clouds changed color!
...
Ding—!!!
A crisp sword cry echoed across the entire sky above Tokyo.
On the other side, Baili Pangpang and Berserk Cao Yuan heard this sound and suddenly froze.
"This is..." Baili Pangpang seemed to remember something, joy flickering in his eyes. "This is Sword Saint Senior's sword cry! Has Sword Saint Senior revived? And come to rescue us?"
A gentle breeze brushed past him. An Qingyu in a research robe carried the black coffin on her back, steadily landing at his side.
He gazed toward where the sword cry originated, surprise appearing in his eyes, and shook his head.
"No, Sword Saint Senior hasn't come. That's the wooden chopstick Sword Saint Senior left for Qiya... I almost forgot this item existed."
As she finished speaking, An Qingyu glanced almost imperceptibly at Cao Yuan.
Fortunately there was this thing...
Otherwise, this Cao贼 would probably have to make a self-sacrifice this time.
For some unknown reason, Berserk Cao Yuan felt a chill at the back of his neck as he sensed An Qingyu's gaze...
...
The thunderclouds under the night sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible sword!
The lightning was dissipating, the clouds were cleaving apart, countless dense sword energies tearing through everything between heaven and earth, like a surging river of sword energy piercing through sky and ground.
The thunder beast trapped in the execution platform widened its eyes in terror as it looked ahead.
At this moment, in the dusty pit, Lin Qiye held the broken wooden chopstick in his hand. Endless sharp sword intent rolled forth from the half-chopstick, ruffling his black windbreaker.
He walked forward with sword in hand.
The killing-god sword of Great Xia's Sword Immortal, Zhou Ping.
The thunder beast could naturally sense the aura of the "Sword Principle." At this moment, its heart was completely seized by fear. In the laws of the world it knew, there was no principle so filled with killing intent and decisiveness... In the presence of this principle, its very soul began to tremble!
Where did this principle come from?
No, where this principle came from no longer mattered to it...
It only knew that the moment this principle passed through its body, it would surely die!
It疯狂地 twisted its body, trying to break free from the execution platform, but unfortunately, this execution platform was made of some unknown material. Even giving its all, it could only barely pry it open slightly, and there was no way to escape in a short time.
Unfortunately, Lin Qiye had already arrived before it.
Endless sword energy rolled between heaven and earth, converging into the half-chopstick in Lin Qiye's palm, transforming into a massive sword's phantom, slashing fiercely toward the thunder beast's neck!
Sword energy soared to the heavens!!
Slash!
That intangible sword containing the "Sword Principle" effortlessly cut through the thunder beast's flesh, directly severing its head.
Lightning mingled with blood gushed forth. The thunder beast's frantic struggling limbs suddenly stilled, then its entire body collapsed rigidly, crashing heavily into the pit.
That beast's head, filled with fear and confusion, rolled to Lin Qiye's feet.
Lin Qiye drew the [Black Rope], and a massive blade projection manifested, pinning this dead head to the ground before him.
The sword intent dispersed, the wind gradually calmed. A drone swept across the sky, capturing this scene.
The entire "Human Enclosure" fell into dead silence.
The battle had been too intense. The drone could only film from very far away, and was frequently interrupted by explosive magnetic interference, but this did not prevent the people inside the "Human Enclosure" from knowing that this group calling themselves [Nightfall] was fighting against gods.
The lightning, the roar, that terrifying giant beast towering above all beings—all left an incredibly deep impression on everyone's hearts.
But now, that giant beast head symbolizing divinity was pinned to the ground by someone.
Everyone stared at the screen before them, looking at that figure whose eyes shone like the fierce sun, who held the broken wooden chopsticks and black blade in hand, falling into silence.
The god they had believed in... had been slain.
At this moment, the words Lin Qiye had spoken to the entire "Human Enclosure" while standing on [Pure Land], surged back into everyone's minds.
Though only for an instant, at a certain moment, that rebellious thought had appeared in nearly everyone's heart.
The gods...
Can they truly be trusted?
...
Slash.
After the drone finished capturing this image, Lin Qiye casually glanced at it. Those golden eyes slightly contracted, and the drone immediately burst into flames scattering through the air.
Yuzuri Takishiro walked slowly to Lin Qiye's front. Gazing at the sword mark that pierced through ground and sky, he murmured to himself:
"Is this the power of an SS-rank item... Where did you get something like this? Can I go grind for it?"
Lin Qiye沉思片刻, "Probably not. It was a gift from an acquaintance."
"Oh well..."
Yuzuri Takishiro immediately looked dejected.
Lin Qiye stood before that giant beast head, sweeping his gaze across the thunder beast's corpse lying on the ground beside him. His eyes gradually burned with intensity.
This, this was a Divine Beast's corpse.
If used as material for a dimensional summoning magic... what kind of existence could be summoned?
Lin Qiye licked his lips. His fingertip染上一层夜色, and he began to draw a massive summoning magic circle around the thunder beast's corpse.
