Chapter 670: Slaying

“Crack!”
“Open!”
The nine-headed expert struck out with his claws in a bid to tear apart the array formation. As for the black-robed fog, he lunged towards the array formation and attempted to damage it through corrosion. They delivered their attacks—a combination of violence and subtlety—with all their might.
Meanwhile, the silver-haired woman outside the array formation cast her eighteen frosty halo discs in a bid to tear open the array as well.
However, the Misty Rain Array reverberated silently in its blurry state, diverting all the impact away.
“My Misty Rain Array is best at defense. It’s slightly weaker at trapping enemies,” thought Qin Yun. “It’s easier to charge out of the Misty Rain Array by attacking from inside! Among the three, the woman’s offensive means are most terrifying. If I had trapped all three of them within, their joint efforts would give them a chance of escaping. But by only trapping the two of them, with one of them being good at close combat and the other having a strange body, there’s no hope for them.”
If the silver-haired woman was in the array, she would pose some threat to Qin Yun.
But outside?
Her means were still far from sufficient if she could only attack the Misty Rain Array from the outside.
“Three Absolutes Seven Stars, arise!”
Qin Yun continued casting his attacks.
Billions of Sword Qi amassed in the Misty Rain Sword, forming a gigantic Sword Qi vortex which began embroiling the nine-headed expert and the black-robed fog.
“No good.” After being enveloped by the Sword Qi vortex, the two figures felt all kinds of restraints, of a kind that was more terrifying than the Misty Rain domain. Both of them immediately had about thirty percent of their strength shaved away.
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!” Goumang immediately diverted dozens of new vines to reach towards the duo.
Having been suppressed by the Misty Rain Array’s Three Absolutes Seven Stars, the duo’s strength was greatly weakened, preventing them from withstanding Goumang’s vines.
The vines began to bind their bodies.
The nine-headed expert was completely bound.
Even the black-robed fog was bound. Although its body appeared incorporeal, Goumang’s vines were extremely magical. They could even ensnare space, much less fog.
“Quickly kill them.” Qin Yun urged with a voice transmission.
“Stop! I can let you leave!”
The woman outside, along with the bound duo, shouted angrily in unison.
“Let us leave? You sure talk big!” Goumang roared with laughter.
“Kill!”
A sharp glint flashed in Rushou’s eyes as he waved his hand, sending out a wisp of golden light. It quickly bore into the nine-headed expert’s body, producing grinding sounds. Although the nine-headed expert was good at close combat, his vitality and body toughness were far inferior to the giant’s. He was even weaker than Daoist Wen’s body which matched that of a Connate Numinous Treasure.
Without any means to resist, his vitality was quickly wiped out, reducing him to a corpse.
“Whoosh.” The golden beam flew out of the nine-headed expert’s body and bored into the black-robed fog’s body. The Connate Metal Great Dao matched with a Connate Cardinal treasure had extremely potent destructive force. Even though the body was a massive divine sea, it instantly lost all its vitality. The black-robed fog’s body finally turned corporeal, revealing a greenish-black-skinned corpse.
Robbed of their ability to put up a resistance, the two experts were easily slain by Rushou.
“Dead? They were killed so quickly?” The silver-haired woman took the scene in. At their level, blows were exchanged extremely quickly. In a blink of an eye, both her companions were dead. It left her anxious and furious.
“It’s all because of this sword array.”
The silver-haired woman knew the reason why.
The sword array had precisely separated the three. Even their combined efforts failed to do anything to it.
“I was wrong, very wrong. Among the three, the one that’s adept at domains is the strongest.” Only then did the silver-haired woman come to a realization. Qin Yun, who kept the lowest profile, had bared his fangs, and the Misty Rain domain was like a massive cage to them.
The one outside could not enter.
The ones inside could not escape.
Against the Misty Rain Array, there was only despair and helplessness!
“Rushou, to be able to kill two experts from other universes so quickly, you have redeemed your reputation. If not, this battle would have depended entirely on Sword Immortal Qin and I,” Goumang said with a voice transmission, chuckling.
“Do you think you are much better than me? Has someone forgotten who was the one asking for help? Both of us relied on Sword Immortal Qin in this battle. If not for him, the both of us would be dead,” Rushou replied with a voice transmission.
“It’s you who would be dead, not me. I still have an avatar in the Three Realms,” quipped Goumang.
Rushou and Goumang were in a good mood. They had been good friends since the Chaos era, so they thought nothing of bickering.
“Gentlemen, let’s think of a way to get rid of this woman,” said Qin Yun with a voice transmission. “That woman is a lot stronger than the two we killed.”
“She is stronger.”
“Let’s join forces.”
Rushou and Goumang were pumped.
Now that there was only one enemy left, they naturally felt more relaxed. After all, with Qin Yun around, they were practically unbeatable.
“Whoosh.” Rushou waved his hand as a wisp of golden light flew out once more towards the silver-haired woman. Simultaneously, he said via a voice transmission, “Attack her body. From the looks of it, her body is incomparable to the giant’s.”
“Yes, attack her body.” Goumang also immediately released dozens of vines that streaked across the sky and enveloped the woman. Meanwhile, Goumang sent a voice transmission. “Sword Immortal Qin, according to the agreement, the corpses of the experts we kill will be yours. The treasures will be mine and Rushou’s. Quickly store away the corpses.”
“Alright.” Qin Yun waved his hand as a wave blanketed the three corpses from before. These corpses could be sacrificed to the Three Realms since each corpse possessed power that the Three Realms required.
When Qin Yun attempted to store away the corpses—
The nine-headed expert’s and the black-robed fog’s corpses vanished as expected, put away in Qin Yun’s storage. The giant’s corpse, however, had an invisible resistance.
“He’s still not dead!” Qin Yun’s expression changed.
The giant’s eyes opened as well. What seemed like a corpse had its aura rapidly rise. However, he still had vines bound around him, so even if he awoke, he still could not escape despite the struggling.
“He died abruptly without anyone touching him. His death was too odd, so I didn’t dare lower my guard against him. I had bound him the entire time, and indeed, he was faking death.” Goumang sneered.
“To think we couldn’t see through his death faking. He sure is good at acting dead.” Rushou scoffed as well as he stared at the bound giant.
The giant ignored Rushou and Goumang. All he did was stare at Qin Yun and said with a deep voice, “I made a mistake. You are not the weakest among the three, but the strongest! Over all these years, your sword array is the strongest array formation I’ve seen among all the experts of other multiverses in this spatial tide.”
“I’m also rather impressed with your ability to act dead,” said Qin Yun as well.
“Puah! Puah! Puah!”
Outside.
A golden beam coruscated rapidly as it attempted to attack the silver-haired woman’s body again and again.
Vines began extending over in a bid to close the gap.
However, ten frosty halo discs circled the silver-haired woman, naturally cutting her off from space itself. The space she was in was completely protected, preventing anything from coming close to her no matter how strange the vines were or how ruthless Rushou’s blows were.
With her body completely defended, the remaining eight frosty halo discs sliced at the vines. Despite fighting two alone, she continued having the upper hand. Unfortunately, she could do nothing since Qin Yun’s Misty Rain Array was fending her off.
She cast her gaze on Qin Yun.
“You are very strong.” The silver-haired woman and the bound giant spoke in unison. The content of their speech was identical, so was their tone.
This left the trio alarmed.
“So, I won’t kill you.” The woman and the giant spoke simultaneously. “Instead, you will be captured alive, turning in a part of me. It’s worth it to awaken myself fully if it means capturing you alive.”
Immediately.
Deep in the mountain, potent auras surged from various sectors—all of them at the perfected Great Dao level.
With whooshing sounds, figures flew out from deep within the mountain, filling the sky with thirty-two figures. Each figure emanated terrifying auras. They seemed to come from different races and used different cultivation systems. However, all their eyes looked the same. They were all staring at the trio.
Qin Yun, Goumang, and Rushou paled.
