Demon Sword Sect's Undercover-Chapter 808 - 807: Rectangular Skill Shows Its Power

Hou Niao floated forward quietly, what lay ahead was his own matter; among the grassland sword cultivators, he couldn’t find anyone who could match his pace, so he had to do it himself.

He flew with great caution, aware that no matter how well he hid, it was impossible to avoid the countless Divine Senses present at a site like a major congregation.

But he didn’t need to hide, nor did he need to get too close. Once both sides started fighting, he could swagger over.

Twenty miles ahead, strong spiritual waves emanated from the direction of Nifu Swamp, orderly and unified; this was the movement of a normal ceremony, not the chaos of a battle.

He stopped moving forward, unwilling to rashly provoke the alertness of the heartless Daoists of the Lian Sect, so he randomly found a place to lie down on a tree branch and stared at the sky.

The power of the grassland is not the main focus, this is a self-positioning that must be understood; they are just vultures, waiting for the tiger-wolf struggles below, and then see whom to snatch a piece of flesh from.

The Wu Sect cultivators had yet to come, he wasn’t concerned about the reason, whether they encountered trouble midway or if plans had changed? It didn’t matter.

If they didn’t come, he wouldn’t move, it’s as simple as that.

That’s the advantage of being a spectator; all you waste are sunflower seeds and tea.

While waiting, he was also estimating the number of Lian Sect cultivators at Nifu Swamp; based on the strength of spiritual waves, he judged there were about a thousand Lian Sect cultivators, which was almost the majority of the sect, indicating the significance of this Lianhua Holy Meeting to them.

The Wu Sect Daoists hidden at Shuanggou Market certainly didn’t have as many, so how would the Wu Sect complete such an attack?

Hou Niao awaited eagerly, and an hour later, movements came from all directions of Nifu Swamp as a large number of cultivators swiftly surrounded the small swamp from the air; the battle erupted instantly, with no hesitation or dialogue.

He understood then that the Wu Sect cultivators from Shuanggou Market were only part of the attack sequence. They had set off earlier than the grassland people but arrived later, simply because they needed to gather in the air, waiting for their companions to converge from all directions.

There were also about six or seven hundred of them, but unlike the Lian Sect’s disorganized thousand cultivators, these were all powerful cultivators, carefully selected from the Wu Sect’s thousands of Tongtian Realm cultivators,

This is the difference between a continent-level Daoist system and a regional-level one; one can only say the Lian Sect was too bold, offending those they shouldn’t have offended.

With nearly two thousand people in battle, how to ensure order? If it turned into a rout, it would be meaningless, and this was the question Hou Niao cared about most.

This question didn’t need him to seek out the answer, as it soon came to him.

He felt a force of heaven and earth descending upon him, causing his heart to tremble. He quickly withdrew, narrowly avoiding being covered by that force; feeling the barrier still expanding, he had to keep retreating until he was nearly close to Langya Valley before stopping.

That expanding force of heaven and earth finally stopped spreading.

The grassland sword cultivators also felt this power; they remained resolute and didn’t act rashly, but Shi Le and a few other leaders couldn’t help it and came over to the still-shaken Hou Niao,

"What Daoist Skill is this? It seems like there’s a lid placed over the space ahead?"

Hou Niao gasped for breath. Luckily, he was alert, and the distance from the center allowed him to escape, or else he would have been trapped inside by now, forced to join the battle... The worst part was, he wouldn’t know whom to fight or help.

"It should be a Rectangular Skill, something from Outer Space, a bizarre item obtained through sect prayers. The Wu Sect is truly generous, daring to use such a treasure carelessly here, it seems they truly intend to destroy the Lian Sect."

Centered at Nifu Swamp, with a diameter of fifty miles, a barrier covering a hundred square miles trapped all cultivators within, no one escaped, including both Lian Sect cultivators and Wu Sect Daoists themselves.

The Rectangular Skill, a rare Daoist Skill even in the Jinxiu Continent’s Cultivation World, surpassed the capabilities of Nascent Transformation Masters; all Rectangular Skills on the continent come from prayers to Outer Space. They cannot be made, and what is received is uncertain.

It’s also the secret core weapon of all Daoist systems.

The rules of the Rectangular Skill are close to the essence of the Dao, something even newly-connected Nascent Transformation Masters cannot comprehend; once released, it is irresolvable. Such a powerful weapon used on minor cultivators of the Tongtian Realm is perplexing.

Seeing the light in everyone’s eyes, Hou Niao jokingly rebuked, "What’s the use of wanting it? If you really get caught inside, you’d cry! Anyone got an extra spiritual beast? Release one to test if it can go in."

Several sword cultivators immediately released a large eagle, a puppet tiger, and a Primordial Energy Soul Beast; all three showed up against the barrier, but only the eagle went in smoothly, while the other two crashed outside, wailing without finding a way in.

"Allowing life forms to enter, but not other forms? Seems this Rectangular Skill isn’t of too high a level." Shi Le, with his knowledge of many continental secrets, discerned this.

"Being able to let Tongtian Realm life forms in, it seems the application of this Rectangular Skill is quite low, no wonder the Wu Sect can afford it, probably not used in real high-level cultivator battles."

"The command I gave the eagle was to come out after entering, but now it’s nowhere in sight, probably unable to exit."

Others pointed and speculated outside, gradually understanding some effects of this Rectangular Skill; obviously, one could only enter and not exit, and the conditions required to exit were beyond their comprehension. freёwebnoѵel.com

For a Daoist Skill like Rectangular Skill, with its Daoist limitations, it would not favor any side; it only changed rule-based things, like creating a barrier space. Wu Sect cultivators couldn’t gain extra abilities from this space; but for them, it sufficed, as their purpose was to prevent any heartless Daoists from escaping. As for the battle, they believed they could handle these assorted individuals.

"Not even a single Golden Core in Nifu Swamp?" Hou Niao found it incredible.

Shi Le responded, "No, the tradition of the Lianhua Holy Meeting is for each to perform their duties, likely related to the essence of the ceremony, always has been this way. This is probably the opportunity the Wu Sect seized to slaughter the Lian Sect’s Tongtian disciples. It’s uncertain when Lian Sect’s Golden Core Nascent Transformations will return to aid them."

Hou Niao shook his head, "There won’t be immediate reinforcements; the Wu Sect won’t allow their Tongtian disciples to fight without checks. I suspect there’s also battle at Lotus Mountain, a Great Cultivation clash."

Thinking for a moment, he released a wisp of Sword Energy and pressed it against the barrier, carefully sensing the Sword Energy’s decay and change,

"I predict, considering the decay of the Rectangular Skill Magic Barrier, it can support for about another hour..."

Shi Le asked, "What shall we do?"

"Wait."
