The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1690: Chapter 1690: All Must Die

Everyone was very happy.

This special task from the Shadow Clan Tribe was not dangerous, but the rewards everyone received were substantial. Once they return to the Shadow Clan Tribe, they can receive another reward.

If every task could offer such rewards and be this easy, they might even wake up laughing from their dreams.

The group gradually left the relic through its entrance and exit.

After exiting the relic, Shadow Battle immediately took out a Communication Treasure and sent the news back to the Shadow Clan Tribe.

Ying Huixu, Ying Xiao, and others, upon hearing about the exploration of the relic, also laughed. This time, the Shadow Clan Tribe had obtained a high-level Alchemy Dao Treasure Book, undoubtedly a huge gain. They all urged Shadow Battle to return to the tribe quickly.

...

”Whoosh!”

At this moment, a blue light curtain suddenly appeared all around, carrying a terrifying aura of killing and sweeping in frantically.

”Not good, it’s an ambush!”

”Damn it!”

”Quick, dodge, there’s a trap!”

The group, just emerging from the relic, had not expected to be suddenly attacked. By the time they reacted, the blue light curtain had already reached them.

”Puff puff puff!”

In the blink of an eye, a large number of cultivators were slaughtered by the blue light curtain.

Jing Yan’s expression was also grim as he unleashed a stream of Divine Power to fend off the erosion of the blue light curtain, his gaze fixed on the distance. There, seven figures were rapidly approaching, each with a strong aura.

”Hahaha...”

”Little rascals of the Shadow Clan Tribe, your time of death has come,” a wild voice laughed.

”Great Witch!” Jing Yan sensed the aura of the laughing cultivator; it was the aura of a Great Witch, a strong presence in the Chaotic Supreme Realm.

”Wu Clan Tribe! What do you intend to do?” Shadow Battle shouted angrily.

During the exploration of the relic, they had no casualties. But just now, in that brief moment, about one-fifth of the cultivators were directly slaughtered. Among them were the recruited ones and also disciples of the Shadow Clan Tribe.

Flames burned in Shadow Battle’s eyes as he stared angrily at the seven figures opposite. Shadow Battle certainly recognized the cultivators opposite—they were from the Wu Clan Tribe.

”What do you intend to do?”

”How ridiculous, don’t you know what we’re about to do, Shadow Battle? Heh, trying to quietly explore this relic and keep all the benefits for yourselves. Did you really think you could deceive us? You bunch of fools, you underestimate the Wu Clan Tribe,” scoffed a wizard from the Wu Clan Tribe.

This time, the Shadow Clan Tribe’s exploration of the relic was very secretive, with news tightly sealed. Yet, the Wu Clan Tribe still obtained the information. As to how they got it, Shadow Battle and the others were unsure. The most likely scenario was that there was a traitor among the high-ranking members of the Shadow Clan Tribe.

”Does the Wu Clan Tribe intend to go to war with the Shadow Clan Tribe?” Shadow Battle’s mind raced.

He glanced at the people beside him.

Even though their numbers were greater on their side, the difference in strength was too significant. Among the Wu Clan Tribe, there were actually two Supreme Elders of the Great Witch Realm. And on their side, there was not even one Great Witch. Perhaps only Jing Yan and himself could somewhat resist the Great Witches of the Wu Clan Tribe.

The Wu Clan Tribe, with two Great Witches and five wizards, had combat power enough to crush the Shadow Clan Tribe’s team here.

Apart from Jing Yan, the four Guest Elder wizards also looked very grave. Clearly, they recognized the two Great Witches from the Wu Clan Tribe.

”What do we do?” the Guest Elder whispered nervously in discussion.

”They have two Great Witch powerhouses and five wizards. These five wizards are all quite powerful. If we fight, we stand no chance of winning and could die here.”

”Do we run? But taking the Shadow Clan Tribe’s reward, as Guest Elders of the Shadow Clan Tribe, it would be really... ”

”Even if we want to leave, it’s probably difficult,” the Guest Elders, who still valued loyalty, did not choose to flee without a fight.

”Shadow Battle, your Shadow Clan Tribe really isn’t qualified to wage war with my Wu Clan Tribe. Your Shadow Clan Tribe is only good at ambushing and sneaking attacks, a bunch of unimpressive things. Haha, if we really went to war, our Wu Clan Tribe could easily eliminate your tribe,” a powerful wizard from the Wu Clan Tribe said coldly.

”Hmph, if the Shadow Clan Tribe wagers everything, your Wu Clan Tribe won’t fare well either. In the end, both will be gravely weakened, leading to your destruction. In the Floating Domain, there’s not just one five-star force. The other two five-star forces wouldn’t just watch you miss the chance to swallow them,” Shadow Battle said loudly.

The seven people from the Wu Clan Tribe’s expressions changed slightly. What Shadow Battle said was indeed true. Destroying the Shadow Clan Tribe would not be an easy task for the Wu Clan Tribe. The Shadow Clan Tribe also had two Great Witches, and they trained in the Seven Absolute Kills, excelling in covert attacks, making them hard to guard against.

”This time, we obtained an Alchemy Dao Treasure Book while exploring the relic. If the Wu Clan Tribe lets us leave, this Alchemy Dao Treasure Book can be shared with the Wu Clan Tribe,” Shadow Battle continued.

Shadow Battle knew that if a fight broke out, they had no chance of winning. So, he could only take a step back and try to avoid this massacre, aiming to return to the Shadow Clan Tribe alive first.

”In your dreams!”

”Every one of you must die! Haha, kill you all, what can the old man Ying Huixu do? Surely, he wouldn’t dare start a war!” a Great Witch sneered.

”Hmm? Ying Xiao’s daughter Ying Lu is also here! Great! Capture Ying Lu alive, kill all the others,” the Great Witch exclaimed upon seeing Ying Lu.

Ying Lu is the daughter of the Shadow Clan Tribe’s High Priest, and the Wu Clan Tribe’s upper ranks naturally recognized Ying Lu. Upon seeing her, they realized they had a great bargaining chip.

”Damn it!” cursed Shadow Battle.

He quickly disappeared into the space.

”Be careful, this Shadow Battle has some ability,” a Great Witch from the Wu Clan Tribe cautiously surveyed the surrounding space.

Suddenly, not far from him, the space slightly warped. He raised his hand and struck out forcefully. Near the warped space, Shadow Battle’s figure appeared, and he was flung backward, simultaneously spitting blood from his mouth.

”Overestimating yourself, your Seven Absolute Killings Secret Technique is far from enough. If it were the likes of Ying Huixu or Ying Xiao, I might be somewhat wary. But with you, Shadow Battle, I can kill you with a wave of my hand,” the Great Witch sneered at Shadow Battle, who had been flung away.

Shadow Battle’s strength was indeed not weak, but against a prepared Great Witch, he almost stood no chance. To threaten a Great Witch, he needed to catch them completely off guard.
