Chapter 457

After appearing, Su Hao immediately included the scene outside the sect in his perception. Within a range of 100,000 meters, no one could escape Su Hao’s investigation except for the cultivators in the mist.

“Fifty-four Unity Realm cultivators, nearly two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, have completely surrounded the entire Yunzhong Valley. Any cultivator trying to escape from Yunzhong Valley cannot escape their joint sensing circle. They are determined to completely annihilate all the cultivators of Yunzhong Valley!”

As Su Hao spoke, he transformed into the “Child of Fate”, his figure suddenly towering, his diamond armor thickening, various rune formations drawn on the inner layer, emitting a faint cyan light. He extended his left and right hands, generating a long and a short crystal war blade respectively. Inside, cyan light flashed, and a large number of formation inscriptions were completed.

“‘Fragile Defense'”, “‘Fire Extinguisher'”, “‘Sharp Formation'”!

Now, Su Hao’s state had been simplified, all integrated into these three formations, making him much stronger than before.

The diamond armor under Su Hao’s feet spread outward, and the area of fifty meters soon turned into crystal, undulating. Ninety-six flying swords slowly rose into the air, floating after ten seconds, turning into a brilliant cyan light, with a hint of dark red light in the cyan light.

“You’re here to find the ‘Crystal Thief,’ right? Well, I am the ‘Crystal Thief,’ right here in Yunzhong Valley. Come and seek justice with me! As long as your necks are harder than the long knife in my hand!”

Since the other party dared to come looking for him, they must have been prepared to face the ‘Crystal Thief,’ so Su Hao didn’t need to be polite.

Wield your blades to your heart’s content!

Spiritual power poured into the armor’s formation, activating all formations, enveloping the entire person in a faint cyan light.

Su Hao floated slowly, his spiritual sense sweeping over a range of 100,000 meters, marking each Unity Realm cultivator one by one, placing a number above each Unity Realm cultivator’s head, from ‘1’ to ’54,’ not missing a single one.

Unless there were accidents, these numbers would be the order of their deaths.

Su Hao’s spiritual sense instantly locked onto the ‘1st’ Unity Realm cultivator.

With a wave of his hand, the densely packed flying swords beside him immediately shot out, disappearing after flying a few meters.

At the same time, a bald Unity Realm cultivator who was gazing into the distance at Yunzhong Valley suddenly turned around, only to see that his surroundings were filled with densely packed cyan light flying swords, rushing towards him like a surging river.

“Daring!” The bald cultivator shouted angrily, without even forming hand seals. A large amount of spiritual power erupted from his body, turning into shields that blocked behind him. At the same time, various magical instruments hung from his waist were shot out and solidly blocked in front of the cyan light flying swords.

He flew forward himself, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

A series of actions were completed almost instantaneously. These Unity Realm cultivators, who had lived for many years, were already extremely skilled in responding to sudden attacks.

This kind of cyan light flying sword… the bald cultivator felt like he had seen it somewhere before. At first glance, he immediately became highly vigilant, fully prepared to deal with it.

Most importantly, the bald cultivator hadn’t sensed who had ambushed him. This large group of cyan light flying swords appeared silently. When he noticed them, they were already upon him.

There was no need to think too much to know that it was extremely dangerous.

Daring to ambush a Unity Realm cultivator like him, they had obviously come prepared.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the large area of extremely high-intensity shields set up in front of him was broken one after another under the barrage of flying swords, and then his magical instruments were destroyed. After that, more than forty flying swords continued to shoot towards him without stopping.

The bald cultivator’s thoughts surged, crazily stacking shields behind him. Spells and magical instruments were all piled up, but they were broken one by one. Just as his last layer of shields was about to be breached…

Far away, Su Hao moved, raising his long knife high and slashing downward heavily.

“‘Blink'”!

In the moment Su Hao appeared beside the bald cultivator, the long knife had already struck the bald cultivator’s last shield.

“Bang!”

The shield shattered!

Now, this bald Unity Realm cultivator had no more protection! The long knife swept past amidst the bald cultivator’s horrified expression.

“Swish!”

“Thud!”

A bald head flew up, and a milky white light burst out from the broken neck, as if cutting off sunlight.

“The Crystal Thief…” The bald cultivator’s eyes seemed to see the world turning upside down, filled with confusion and fear. Before he could understand what had happened, numerous cyan light flying swords had already cut his head into pieces.

The slaughter began here!

“‘Number 1,’ done. Next is, ‘Number 2’!”

With a wave of his hand, the ninety-six flying swords were teleported away, and then Su Hao also flashed away from this place.

As for the bodies of the Unity Realm cultivators, they could be cleaned up after the battle!

After killing one Unity Realm cultivator, Su Hao immediately changed his strategy, as he found that he couldn’t give the Unity Realm cultivators even a moment of reaction time. As long as a moment passed, the Unity Realm cultivators could activate a large number of shields, continuously consuming the spiritual power energy on Su Hao’s flying swords, making his killing efficiency extremely low.

If other Unity Realm cultivators reacted, it would definitely increase the difficulty of killing them, and they might even escape. Therefore, it was necessary to kill as many as possible before they fully reacted.

Su Hao thought to himself, “Unity Realm cultivators must have extremely strong shields. My long knife may not be able to instantly shatter all the shields, so I’ll use the Sword Formation – Dawn Sword!”

With that in mind, the flying swords behind him immediately formed four sets of ‘Twenty-four Flying Sword Formation – Dawn Sword’ arrays, with cyan light connecting them into four discs, floating in the air.

Su Hao closed his eyes, fully deploying his spiritual sense, locking onto the position of the second cultivator, and activating the spatial module.

One of the Dawn Swords lit up, and a brilliant light burst out from the center, a dazzling beam extending into the distance. The disc slightly turned, and the beam abruptly disappeared into the air.

A blue-robed Unity Realm cultivator tens of thousands of meters away had his pupils contract, unable to react in time, and was hit by a dazzling beam that suddenly emerged not far in front of him.

“Bang bang bang!”

In just an instant, nearly ten layers of shields on his body were shattered one after another, and even the protective clothing he was wearing left a deep groove, losing its effect.

“What…???” He had no idea what had just happened, nearly being cut in half just now.

“‘Blink'”!

Just as he was reacting quickly to shield himself, a figure suddenly appeared at his side, a long knife shimmering with cyan light swinging towards his neck.

“It’s over!”

“Swish! Thud!”

As the blue-robed Unity Realm cultivator had anticipated, indeed, it was over for him. His head flew up, unable to even dodge before dying, and then Su Hao’s secondary knife cut his head in half, consciousness quickly sinking into eternal darkness.

“‘Number 2’ done, next is, ‘Number 3’!”

Several Unity Realm cultivators died in succession without even having a chance to react, their decapitated bodies falling between the mountains.

Soon, it caught the attention of other nearby Unity Realm cultivators.

Although the Unity Realm cultivators were in different locations, separated by tens of thousands of meters, the spiritual sense between adjacent individuals could feel each other, in case of any accidents.

The anomaly happening in the distance at this time attracted the attention of the adjacent Unity Realm cultivators.

A white-haired old cultivator furrowed his brow tightly: “It seems there’s a battle happening. What’s going on? Why did Lou Ming Daoist fall down… Not good!”

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his hand and cast a spell towards the sky, a dazzling light bursting in the high sky, serving as a warning to other Unity Realm cultivators.

Just then, a huge and glaring beam suddenly emerged in the space in front of him. Even though he was prepared, he couldn’t react in time and was swept over by the beam, instantly breaking through many shields on his body.

“There are still two shields left! Such an attack is terrifying!” The white-haired old cultivator’s thoughts flashed, just about to retreat.

“Whoosh!”

A tall crystalline figure suddenly appeared beside him, a long knife shimmering with cyan light still resting on his neck.

“Bang bang!”

The last two layers of shields also shattered.

“Thud!”

The head flew up, then was crushed by the secondary knife in Su Hao’s hand!

Smooth as flowing clouds and water!

Su Hao executed the process of slaughtering Unity Realm cultivators extremely smoothly.

Su Hao chuckled, “Number 8, done. However, the signal has been sent after all!”

For Su Hao, it was just a minor inconvenience!

It didn’t matter.

    Chapter 457

    After appearing outside the sect, Su Hao immediately expanded his spiritual sense to encompass everything beyond the mountain-protecting formation. Within a radius of one hundred thousand meters, nothing escaped his perception except the cultivators concealed inside the mist.

    "Fifty-four Unity Realm cultivators... nearly two hundred Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. They've completely sealed off Moonwatch Valley. Anyone who tries to escape will immediately enter their detection network."

    His gaze swept across the mountains.

    "They're determined to wipe out every cultivator in Moonwatch Valley."

    As his voice fell, Su Hao entered his Life Bearer form.

    His body rapidly expanded as layers of crystalline diamond armor covered him from head to toe. Countless rune arrays were engraved across the inner armor, faint cyan light flowing through every line.

    A long crystal saber formed in his right hand.

    A shorter crystal blade condensed in his left.

    Within both weapons, rune formations lit up one after another.

    "Fragile Defense."

    "Extinguisher."

    "Sharpness."

    Compared to before, all of Su Hao's combat systems had been streamlined. Numerous independent formations had now been integrated into these three core arrays.

    His strength had increased by another level.

    Crystal spread beneath his feet in every direction, covering a radius of fifty meters. Ninety-six flying swords slowly rose into the air. After hovering for several breaths, they began shining with brilliant cyan radiance, streaked with faint dark-red lines.

    "They've come looking for the Crystal Thief."

    A smile appeared beneath Su Hao's crystal mask.

    "Very well."

    "I am the Crystal Thief."

    "I'm standing right here outside Moonwatch Valley."

    "If you want justice..."

    "...come and take it."

    "So long as your necks are harder than my blade."

    Since these people had come specifically for him, there was no need for courtesy.

    Today...

    He would kill to his heart's content.

    Spiritual power surged through the formations engraved within the armor. Cyan light enveloped his entire body.

    His spiritual sense instantly swept across the battlefield, locking onto every Unity Realm cultivator surrounding Moonwatch Valley.

    One after another, he marked them mentally.

    Above each person's head appeared a number in his perception.

    One.

    Two.

    Three...

    Until fifty-four.

    Unless something unexpected happened...

    Those numbers would become the order of their deaths.

    His consciousness immediately locked onto Cultivator Number One.

    With a casual wave of his hand, the ninety-six flying swords shot forward.

    They disappeared after traveling only a few meters.

    ...

    Far away.

    A bald Unity Realm cultivator stood quietly observing the mist-covered Moonwatch Valley.

    Without warning, he abruptly turned around.

    His surroundings were suddenly filled with countless cyan flying swords.

    Like a surging river of light, they rushed toward him from every direction.

    "So bold!"

    The bald cultivator roared.

    Without forming a single hand seal, an enormous amount of spiritual power erupted from his body.

    Layer after layer of defensive barriers appeared instantly.

    Several protective artifacts flew from his waist, expanding into sturdy shields before him.

    At the same time, he accelerated forward, attempting to leave the area.

    His reactions were almost instantaneous.

    After surviving countless battles over hundreds of years, every Unity Realm cultivator possessed terrifying combat instincts.

    The moment he saw the cyan flying swords, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

    "I've seen these swords before..."

    His pupils contracted.

    "The Crystal Thief!"

    His vigilance instantly rose to its peak.

    However...

    The countless defensive barriers before him shattered one after another.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Bang!

    Each layer exploded under the relentless assault.

    His protective artifacts were reduced to fragments.

    More than forty flying swords continued advancing without losing momentum.

    Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

    He desperately created barrier after barrier.

    Technique after technique.

    Artifact after artifact.

    Everything was destroyed.

    Finally...

    Only his last barrier remained.

    At that exact moment—

    Far away...

    Su Hao raised his crystal saber.

    "Blink."

    Space twisted.

    He appeared beside the bald cultivator instantly.

    The crystal saber was already descending.

    Bang!

    The final barrier shattered.

    The bald cultivator's eyes widened in horror.

    His neck was completely exposed.

    Slash!

    His head flew into the air.

    Milky-white spiritual power erupted from the severed neck like a fountain.

    "...Crystal... Thief..."

    Before he could finish speaking, dozens of cyan flying swords chopped his head into countless pieces.

    His consciousness vanished forever.

    Su Hao calmly sheathed neither blade nor sword.

    "Number One."

    "Done."

    His flying swords disappeared once more.

    "So..."

    "Number Two."

    ...

    After killing the first Unity Realm cultivator, Su Hao immediately adjusted his strategy.

    These cultivators reacted far too quickly.

    The instant they noticed danger, dozens of defensive barriers would appear around them.

    Breaking through those barriers wasted precious time.

    If the others realized what was happening, escaping would become much easier.

    Therefore...

    He had to kill as many as possible before the alarm spread.

    "My saber alone isn't fast enough."

    "The Dawn Sword Formation."

    The ninety-six flying swords immediately reorganized.

    Twenty-four swords formed one array.

    Four complete Dawn Sword Formations appeared behind him.

    The formations resembled four brilliant rotating discs connected by cyan streams of light.

    Su Hao closed his eyes.

    His spiritual sense locked onto Cultivator Number Two.

    The spatial module activated.

    One Dawn Sword Formation lit up.

    A dazzling beam erupted from its center.

    The rotating disc adjusted slightly.

    Then...

    The beam disappeared into empty space.

    ...

    Tens of thousands of meters away.

    A blue-robed Unity Realm cultivator suddenly sensed overwhelming danger.

    Before he could react—

    A blazing beam erupted directly before him.

    Boom!

    Layer after layer of defensive barriers collapsed.

    Nearly ten barriers were destroyed instantly.

    Even the protective robe he wore was carved open by a deep slash, losing all effectiveness.

    "W-What..."

    He had nearly been cut in half.

    His mind hadn't even caught up with reality.

    He hurriedly gathered more barriers.

    Before they could fully form—

    "Blink."

    Su Hao appeared beside him.

    The crystal saber swept toward his neck.

    The blue-robed cultivator instantly understood.

    "It's over."

    Slash!

    His head flew into the air.

    Before it could fall, Su Hao's short blade struck again.

    The head split into two pieces.

    "Number Two."

    "Done."

    "Next..."

    "Number Three."

    ...

    One Unity Realm cultivator after another died.

    None of them even had the opportunity to react.

    Their headless bodies tumbled silently between the mountains.

    Eventually...

    The strange disturbance attracted nearby Unity Realm cultivators.

    Although they were stationed tens of thousands of meters apart, adjacent cultivators remained within one another's spiritual perception to prevent unexpected incidents.

    A white-haired old cultivator frowned.

    "Someone is fighting?"

    His spiritual sense reached toward the disturbance.

    The next moment...

    He discovered the headless corpse of Daoist Lou Ming.

    His expression changed dramatically.

    "Something's wrong!"

    Without hesitation, he raised one hand.

    A brilliant pillar of light shot into the sky.

    It was a warning signal.

    At almost the same instant—

    Space before him distorted.

    A dazzling beam appeared without warning.

    Boom!

    Several defensive barriers exploded simultaneously.

    Only two remained.

    "What terrifying power..."

    His heart trembled.

    Just as he prepared to retreat—

    Whoosh!

    A towering crystalline figure appeared beside him.

    A cyan crystal saber rested against his neck.

    Bang!

    Bang!

    The final two barriers shattered.

    Slash!

    His head flew into the air.

    Before it landed, Su Hao's short blade pulverized it into fragments.

    The entire sequence flowed as naturally as moving clouds and flowing water.

    Every action was smooth.

    Every strike was fatal.

    Su Hao glanced toward the brilliant warning light rising into the sky and smiled faintly.

    "Number Eight."

    "Done."

    "So..."

    "They finally noticed."

    It was only a minor inconvenience.

    Nothing more.
