Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 2627: The Strength of the Rain Abbess (One)

Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun’s expressions became extremely ugly when they faced the Rain Abbess’ order-like tone. They even felt furious.

The Rain Abbess was simply far too overbearing. After all, the two of them were famed, peak figures on the Desolate Plane. Even though their cultivation could not rival the Rain Abbess’, she had still taken them far too lightly. She actually treated them like she was above them.

As a result, Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun, who usually gave the orders and could determine the situation and direction of the entire Desolate Plane, felt extremely uncomfortable.

“Brother Xu, it looks like the Rain Abbess of the Delight Plane is determined to protect the Martial Soul lineage. What do we do?” Sha Yun asked secretly. He was surrounded by a layer of extremely brutal blade Qi, and his voice was extremely stern.

“Our actions today have already resulted in the development of an unforgivable grievance with the Martial Soul lineage. Based off the Martial Soul lineage’s past behavior, they will definitely seek revenge in the future. Coupled with how they have the Martial Soul Mountain as a place to retreat to, they can immediately vanish with the Martial Soul Mountain if they can’t win. The method of trapping them here today probably won’t work again, so if we don’t destroy the Martial Soul lineage completely today, the ones being destroyed in the future will likely be our Xu family, the Midheaven clan, and your Divine Blade sect,” Xu Zhiping replied sternly. The Rain Abbess’ appearance had thrown him into a dilemma.

Sha Yun sighed inside. He had never thought the Martial Soul lineage would actually have the backing of someone as powerful as the Rain Abbess. If he had known earlier that the Martial Soul lineage was under the protection of the Rain Abbess, he never would have opposed them even if it meant sacrificing a protector sword from the Radiant Saint Hall.

After a moment of hesitation, Sha Yun continued, “Why don’t we try negotiating with the Rain Abbess? As long as the Martial Soul lineage can forgive us for what we did today and swear that they won’t make trouble for us in the future, we won’t oppose the Martial Soul lineage again.” Sha Yun was grim. In the past, the three organisations had never been on any particular bad terms with the Martial Soul lineage. It was all because of Gongsun Zhi that they became enemies.

Xu Zhiping shook his head gently. “It’s useless. Look at the Rain Abbess. Does she seem like she wants to negotiate with us? And considering how stubborn every single member of the Martial Soul lineage is, they will never agree.”

At this moment, Huangfu Guiyi, who had been heavily injured by Hun Zang’s Heaven-severing technique, finally recovered. With a sheet-white face and bleeding facial cavities, he flew over from the distance slowly.

The Rain Abbess’ Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood was extremely large. Even though Huangfu Guiyi was relatively far away from the mountain soul, he was still within the range of the formation.

Huangfu Guiyi stared at the hazy Rain Abbess with bloodshot eyes and said sternly, “Rain Abbess, the Midheaven clan, Xu family, Divine Blade sect, and Radiant Saint Hall are all working together. We now represent the most powerful organisation on the Desolate Plane. We can even represent the entire Desolate Plane. Offending an entire plane for the Martial Soul lineage is not wise.”

“And, Rain Abess, it seems like your Delight Plane isn’t very peaceful either. I hope the Rain Abbess can properly consider this all.”

Huangfu Guiyi knew quite a lot about the situation on the Delight Plane. He knew that the Rain Abbess seemed to be interested in conquering the entire place, so over seventy percent of the peak organisations there had secretly formed an alliance. They were ready to oppose the Cloudsurge Empire’s attempt. As a result, he directly mentioned the situation of the Delight Plane in hopes that the Rain Abbess could realise what he was trying to point at.

The native organisations from the Delight Plane were already enough work for the Cloudsurge Empire. Offending the peak organisations on the Desolate Plane as well would really not be a wise decision.

The Cloudsurge Empire only possessed such a great status because of the Rain Abbess’ existence. If the Rain Abbess were gone, the Cloudsurge Empire would even pale slightly in comparison to their Midheaven clan.

This was because the Cloudsurge Empire did not have a second mid Grand Prime.

After saying that, Huangfu Guiyi paid close attention to the Rain Abbess. He hoped that his words would influence the Rain Abbess into retreating due to the difficulties that would be involved.

Unfortunately, they achieved nothing. All that awaited them was a cold sentence from the Rain Abbess. “You still have the final three seconds.”

The Rain Abbess did not say much. It was only a few words, but it disclosed her determination. She left no room for negotiation, and she did not take the peak organisations on the Desolate Plane seriously either. She was truly insolent and utterly fearless.

“Hmph, I want to destroy the Martial Soul lineage today. No one can stop me!” Suddenly, Gongsun Zhi bellowed out. Godslayer’s sword in his hand shone with dazzling light as an earth-shaking power leaked out. With the sword in hand and light around him, he directly slashed at the Rain Abbess.

He did not know who the Rain Abbess was, nor did he know how powerful the Rain Abbess was. However, he did have Godslayer’s Sword in hand. Under the protection of the sword’s power, he feared no expert. He feared no threat.

“No matter who you are, I’ll cut you to pieces first since you’re getting in the way of me destroying the Martial Soul lineage,” Gongsun Zhi called out. Godslayer’s sword shone brightly as billowing energy erupted like a flood. He directly slashed at the Rain Abbess.

A gleam of vicious light immediately flashed through Xu Zhiping’s eyes when he saw Gongsun Zhi attack the Rain Abbess. If there was only him and Sha Yun, he naturally would not have the courage to point his weapon at the Rain Abbess. However, he could give it a try if Gongsun Zhi was included.

Even though Gongsun Zhi’s personal cultivation was lacklustre, the sword in his hand could not be underestimated.

“Huangfu Guiyi, let’s cooperate with Gongsun Zhi to keep the Rain Abbess trapped. Sha Yun, kill the Martial Soul lineage quickly,” Gongsun Zhi said to Huangfu Guiyi and Sha Yun secretly.

With that, Xu Zhiping moved without any hesitation at all. The dense Laws of the Sun around him immediately flared into solar flames. They flooded towards the Rain Abbess as they flickered in an attempt to suppress the Rain Abbess.

Huangfu Guiyi did not hesitate either. Even though his soul was heavily injured, which affected his battle prowess, he could not care about it all at a time like this. He forcefully struck out despite the risk of his soul’s wounds rapidly worsening.

He did not dare to leave the Martial Soul lineage alive. If they were not destroyed today, the ones destroyed would likely be Huangfu Guiyi’s Midheaven clan instead.

Moreover, Huangfu Guiyi had truly come to understand the strength of the Martial Soul lineage through this battle. The Martial Soul lineage could injure him to such a degree when they were in a hurry. If they had plenty of time to prepare, his fate would probably be far worse than just a wounded soul.

Even he would suffer like this, so the fate of his Midheaven clan would go without saying.

An illusionary river was conjured above Huangfu Guiyi’s head. It surged with huge waves. Terrifying and dense killing intent surged out from the river, annihilating the space there.

This was the greatest secret technique that Huangfu Guiyi possessed. He used his comprehension of the Way of Slaughter to conjure a river of slaughter. It crushed down on space along the way and gushed towards the Rain Abbess with a presence of slaughter that could seemingly obliterate anything.

When he used this secret technique, Huangfu Guiyi could not help but cough up a few mouthfuls of blood. It was very harmful to him to use such a powerful secret technique in his current state.

Immediately, Gongsun Zhi, Xu Zhiping, and Huangfu Guiyi struck out against the Rain Abbess simultaneously.

As for Sha Yun, he rushed towards the Martial Soul lineage.
