Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1634 - Surrounded

"The Peerless Genius has noticed us, he is attacking us with his saber, we have to back off now!"

Han Tianxiao was the first to notice the approaching saber. He yelled and immediately backed away.

The other cultivators too withdrew a few hundred zhang away without hesitation.

They would have to be extremely cautious when dealing with even the simplest move executed by a Peerless Genius, not to mention that the man had attacked them with his weapon.

Under the crowd\'s gaze, the Heaven-Shattering Saber swept across the sky and stuck into the ground around eighty zhang ahead of them.

A strong saber aura spread wildly in all directions.

BANG BANG BANG!

At that instant, the artifacts that Han Tianxiao, and the cultivators were holding exploded as if they had just received a tremendous blow.

Every artifact, including half-Immortal Weapons was destroyed.

"What kind of artifact is that?"

Han Tianxiao and the cultivators gasped. They had never seen such a strange artifact before.

"But, did he seriously think he can stop us with just a saber?"

Han Tianxiao quickly collected his thoughts. His eyes flickered with disdain as he said in a loud voice, "Everyone, don\'t panic, it\'s only a saber. We\'ll simply move past it and take him down."

"The saber won\'t be able to stop all of us regardless of how powerful it is."

Saying this, Han Tianxiao added, "This saber is likely to have some power of restricting our artifacts."

The other cultivators quickly recovered. The shock in their eyes vanished.

As Han Tianxiao had mentioned, there was no reason for them to be afraid of a mere saber when it was not being controlled by its master, even if it some kind of a peerless weapon.

"Let\'s go!"

Han Tianxiao emitted a godly glow. He avoided the saber and was trying to fly toward the top of the mountain from a different direction.

However, as he was within ten thousand zhang away from Qin Nan, his eyes widened. His body stiffened as he had been frozen in ice.

"What…what was that…"

His voice began to tremble.

Within an instant, he had felt a strong murderous aura and a saber intent, that seemed to be able to destroy everything in the world.

He had a strong feeling that if he was to take a step further, he would immediately die in his spot.

Apart from him, the cultivators behind him shared the same feeling too.

"Han Tianxiao, what is wrong with you now?"

Some cultivators at the back frowned.

"Don\'t…don\'t come any closer…"

Han Tianxiao took a step back with relief.

"What are you doing? That man is about to eliminate all the branches, if you\'re scared, we\'ll lead the way instead!"

The cultivators at the back sprang forward with cold looks.

However, their eyes widened too as they went a few zhang forward. Some with weaker cultivations immediately wore pale faces that were filled with terror.

How shocking were the murderous aura and the saber intent?

They would surely die if they dared to take another step!

"Damn it, they no longer dare to move forward?"

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was astounded. He could not believe his eyes.

As a Peerless Ruler, he could easily tell that Qin Nan had only merged his murderous aura and his will into the strange saber.

In simpler words, he was only intimidating the cultivators with his aura.

"Fellow…fellow cultivators, stay calm, he\'s only trying to trick us with the saber. Besides, it doesn\'t really pose any threat to us."

A peak Heaven God finally collected his thoughts and said while clenching his teeth, "We just have to charge forward. The saber won\'t do any harm to us."

The other two peak Heaven Gods said upon hearing this, "He\'s right, let\'s go!"

The other cultivators were tempted, yet none of them dared to move still.

The three peak Heaven Gods shook their heads and exchanged glances with one another. They secretly executed an Immortal Art as they took a step forward.

If the others were too scared to move forward, they had no choice but to do it themselves.

If a mishap did happen, they would be able to react still.

BANG!

As soon as they took a step forward, three terrifying saber intents slashed at the three cultivators.

"Crap…"

The three cultivators were dumbfounded.

However, apart from one of them that had mastered an ancient escaping art, the other two peak Heaven Gods failed to react in time. They were slashed into pieces as soon as they executed their Immortal Arts.

"This…"

Han Tianxiao and the rest of the cultivators were in shock.

They actually agreed with the three cultivators, yet they were proven wrong after witnessing what happened.

Their instinct was right.

The saber was actually able to attack them on its own!

"Hehe, an unmanned saber has surprisingly killed two Heaven Gods, yet I won\'t believe that it can kill a third person."

A young man in a black robe said with a hoarse voice.

He took out a light blue talisman and pinched it into pieces.

A strong, transporting energy landed on him, as he quickly vanished into thin air.

He was using a teleporting talisman to move past the saber.

"That might actually work!"

The eyes of Han Tianxiao and the rest of the peak Heaven Gods flickered.

BANG!

However, in the nick of time, a terrifying saber intent appeared once again, shattering the black-robed cultivator who was wearing a blank face into pieces.

The woods immediately fell silent.

Everyone\'s mind went blank, as no one dared to move in front of the saber.

"Damn it, that kid knows to store some of his force inside the saber just so it can attack a few times and slay a few Heaven Gods."

"With that, the others are simply too afraid to move any further."

"Even if someone might have guessed the truth, they would not dare to take the risk."

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was impressed. As expected of a Peerless Genius who had achieved the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm, it did remind him of how brilliant he was in the past.

Time gradually passed.

Even though Qin Nan had stored a portion of his god force in the saber, he still outmatched the branches easily, and only thirty of them were left.

Meanwhile, a strange scene was taking place on the mountain waist.

Many cultivators had arrived during this time, and the crowd had grown to more than a hundred people.

However, everyone was standing in front of the saber, not daring to take a step further. They could only watch Qin Nan destroy the branches.

Every time a cultivator came and observed the strange scene, they would ask the others and learned the truth.

They then looked at the three corpses on the ground and decided not to take the risk.

None of them dared to challenge the trap that the Peerless Genius had set up.

"Only three branches are left!"

One of the cultivators blurted out all of a sudden.

The others immediately glanced forward and saw a figure in the immortal light throwing a punch forward, breaking another tree branch.

Only two branches were left.

"A bunch of idiots, to be intimidated by such a simple trick, that none of you dare to step forward against an unmanned saber!"

A thunderous voice exploded in the woods.

Following it, Gu Zhenyi came from the distance.

"Peerless Genius Gu Zhenyi?"

The eyes of Han Tianxiao and many cultivators flickered with excitement.

With Gu Zhenyi here, they would surely be able to overcome the saber.

In addition to it, if Gu Zhenyi was to fight against the Peerless Genius, wouldn\'t they have a chance to acquire some benefits from it?

"Brother, lend me your life!"

Despite Gu Zhenyi\'s scornful remark, he could tell how extraordinary the Heaven-Shattering Saber was, thus he did not dare to risk his life either. He simply grabbed an Earth God Realm cultivator and tossed him forward.

The Earth God\'s face was filled with terror, yet before he could scream, he was torn into pieces by the saber glow.

"Now, you can\'t hurt me anymore!"

Gu Zhenyi unleashed his aura and summoned ripples of godly rays under his feet. He moved forward at a shocking pace like an emperor.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a piercing sound was heard.

The Heaven-Shattering Saber suddenly unleashed wisps of Destruction Will and the Will of the Divine God of Battle slashing at Gu Zhenyi as if it was held by a saber expert.

"There\'s still a stream of saber intent in it?"

Gu Zhenyi\'s eyes glittered. He quickly dodged aside and performed a hand seal.

Over a hundred illusionary figures of an enormous spear appeared, unleashing their piercing aura ten li into the distance.

BANG!

Meanwhile, Qin Nan\'s blood hair was drifting in the wind as he swiped his foot around.

The last two branches broke into pieces too.

The thirteen Trees of Immortal Transformation seemed to be aware of their fate. Their branches and leaves vibrated vigorously, as if they were unwilling to accept the outcome.

"You are the Trees of Immortal Transformation, born of nature, to aid cultivators in their ascension. Help me to ascend as an immortal, to live up to your name."

Qin Nan\'s eyes were engulfed in golden flames, with a wisp of Dao Glow appearing on his forehead.

The thirteen Trees of Immortal Transformation shuddered, before the branches and leaves struggled even fiercer.

"It seems like I\'ll have to subdue you forcibly, forgive me."

Qin Nan frowned. He immediately summoned thirteen giant hands grabbing at the Trees of Immortal Transformation.

BANG!

A great force appeared out of nowhere and covered the Trees of Immortal Transformation.

No matter how strong the hands he summoned with his god force were, they could no longer move forward.

Qin Nan was slightly surprised. He did not expect some other mysterious existence was protecting the Trees of Immortal Transformation apart from the branches and the knights.

Following it, a mysterious rune appeared on each of the trunks, as an unexpected change took place once again!
