Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion

755 Entering the Sea, Ancestral Return of 10,000 Swords (3)

“Brother Han, we can’t defend this place. Let’s go if we can,” a sword cultivator wearing chain armor and carrying a large sword said in a low voice beside Han Muye.

The person who spoke was called Qi Ziming. He was a Golden Core Realm sword cultivator with powerful combat strength.

He was also the strongest among these sword cultivators.

Below, more sword cultivators began to retreat in defeat.

Although sword cultivators were not afraid of death, they were not stupid. It was obvious that the enemy was powerful, and if they still wanted to fight, they would be fools.

Han Muye stood up and nodded. “We can’t defend the Sea Gazing Reef. Let’s go to Clear Wind Island a hundred miles away. It’s not far from the Clear Wind Sword Sect.”

With that, he flew down.

“Brother Qi, you guys clear the way. I’ll cover the rear.”

Most of the thousand-odd sword cultivators on this island were gathered by Qi Ziming and Han Muye.

In the past, these few powerful sword cultivators had worked together to save the besieged sword cultivators from danger.

“Alright, stop fighting,” Qi Ziming shouted. He unsheathed the big sword in his hand and activated a 100-foot-long sword light. He landed on the beach and, with a slash, sent the charging black-armored demon soldiers flying.

“Follow me!”

Qi Ziming’s long sword vibrated, bringing with it an unforged stream of light. Several Great Sword Cultivators followed behind him, opening a bloody path.

No one dared to step on the waves. They split the waves with their swords and flew away with the sword light.

There were powerful water demons that rushed out of the water below. Many of them turned into Black Armored Army generals and slashed with their spears and swords.

“Get lost,” Han Muye growled, and the sword in his hand flew out.

The sword control technique was activated, and the sword light was like a meteor, shooting down the demons that flew out of the water.

The sword light was merciless and instantly turned the sea blood-red.

The sea below was dark red!

“Kill—”

A shout came from the sea.

Powerful black-armored water demons rushed towards Han Muye and surrounded him on the Sea Gazing Reef.

“Boom!”

Sword light, demonic light, and spiritual light collided.

The entire Sea Gazing Reef was bright and magnificent. There was no sea of clouds.

Qi Ziming stood in the air, turned around, and gnashed his teeth. “Brother Han, don’t die…”

The others also looked anxious.

It was too difficult to rush out of such a scene.

“Let’s go to Clear Wind Island!”

Qi Ziming shouted and directed the sword cultivators behind him to turn into sword lights and fly towards the island 100 miles away.

In front of him, several sword lights rose, as if they were here to receive him.

On the reef, the spiritual light shattered. Han Muye held his two swords and slowly walked out.

Around him, the black-armored demons had all died. Their bodies transformed into 100-foot-tall fish demons.

He raised his hand and held the hilt of a long sword.

As the sword Qi penetrated the sword, violent images appeared in his mind.

These black-armored demons were not particularly intelligent. They were mostly focused on killing.

Even if they were of the same race, they often fought among themselves.

On the other hand, the green-armored demons and the rainbow-scaled demons had extraordinary intelligence.

“Surround and kill a sword cultivator?”

From the chaotic memories of the sword, Han Muye sorted out a rough attack diagram of the Eastern Sea Spiritual Armored demons.

According to this map, it could be seen that the Spiritual Armored demons advanced in an orderly manner and surrounded the sword cultivators layer by layer.

Unfortunately, the memories in this sword were too chaotic, making it impossible for Han Muye to deduce carefully, nor could he see the recent arrangements of the spiritual armored demons.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

Endless demonic light surged.

That was the direction of Clear Wind Island!

He flew up, and his sword light was like a meteor, directly crossing a hundred miles.

In midair, he could already see the situation below.

Countless black-armored demons had surrounded Clear Wind Island.

These black-armored demons were more than a hundred times more than the ones who had besieged the Sea Gazing Reef.

It was not that the spiritual armored demons surrounding the reef had changed directions, but that they were going to besiege Clear Wind Island.

“Boom!”

A violent spiritual light rose. On the surface of the water, demon gathering flags unfolded.

These Spiritual Armored demons had already formed a formation that was no different from a military formation.

What a terrifying learning ability.

...

With a wave of the flag, the army gathered.

When Han Muye landed on Clear Wind Island, Qi Ziming and the others had already gathered together.

Clear Wind Island was a large island with a radius of 100 miles. There were more than 10,000 sword cultivators gathered on the island.

Among them were the guardian elders of the Clear Wind Sword Sect, who were very powerful.

“Fellow Daoists, don’t panic. I’m Lu Wuming from the Clear Wind Sword Sect. Our Clear Wind Sword Sect’s reinforcements are about to arrive. As long as everyone holds on, we can be saved.”

A Daoist in a green robe with a long sword on his back flew into the air and shouted.

There were dozens of tall sword cultivators around him, and every one of them was shining with sword light.

Sect disciples and itinerant cultivators were really different.

When these Clear Wind Sword Sect disciples formed a formation, their auras were very majestic.

“Brother Han, do you think we can hold on?” Qi Ziming and the others looked at Han Muye.

Over the past few days, Han Muye’s combat strength and responsibility had already been recognized by them.

...

Without Han Muye covering their retreat time and time again, they wouldn’t have survived until now.

Even a sword core cultivator like Qi Ziming knew that he could not escape from the siege of the Spiritual Armored demons.

Han Muye glanced around and shook his head solemnly.

There were many sword cultivators on Clear Wind Island, but there were no true experts.

Lu Wuming and the Clear Wind Sword Sect disciples behind him were not weak, but they could not stop too many water demons.

Lu Wuming’s cultivation was only at the fifth level of the Heaven Realm.

“Then what should we do?” A sword cultivator in a black robe with tattered clothes turned pale.

What should we do?

No one wanted to die here.

“Why don’t we charge out?”

Someone whispered.

Previously, they had charged into the encirclement of the black-armored demons many times. This time, they might be able to escape.

Charge?

Everyone looked around.

The waters around had already been surrounded. Countless Spiritual Armored demons were waiting in the sea. How could they charge?

This time, there were too many Spiritual Armored demons…

“We wait.

Han Muye muttered, then flew to a green reef and sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, with a sword light flashing on his body.

Naturally, the Spiritual Armored demons could not hurt him.

However, he could not let these sword cultivators be slaughtered.

He came to the Eastern Sea to gather the power of the Eastern Sea sword cultivators.

If too many sword cultivators died, how could he ride on their strength?

However, he could not attack too early.

This was the human heart. If they were not on the brink of death, they would not have the heart to fight.

Han Muye sighed inwardly.

He did not know when he had started to have such a hard heart.

Back in the Western Frontier, the Sword Pavilion elder had said that experts had to be responsible.

Looking at it now, it was indeed true that when one became powerful, one no longer valued the lives of the weak.

Was this the price of cultivation?

“Woo—”

The horn sounded, and waves surged. Countless water demons rushed to Clear Wind Island.
