Immortal Devil Transformation-Book 16: Chapter 56: Omen and Continue

Book 16: Chapter 56: Omen and Continue

He could see many white and iron colored innards damaged by sword energy from this flying swords’ wounds.

The shapes of these inner organs were completely different from the internal organs of birds and beasts. It was hard to differentiate what was the heart, what was the lung and what was the liver. Perhaps it could be said that the bodies of these fiend beasts might not even have the same internal organs he was thinking of.

The skin of this type of fiend beast was extremely tough, possessing a type of metallic luster… If it wasn’t because it possessed a distinct metallic luster, when this type of fiend beast moved, it might seem like a giant walking radish instead of a longsword.

He didn’t see anything like a mouth, nose or eyes on this thing, nor did he know how this sword-like creature moved.

However, in Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang’s perception, this type of fiend beast’s soul force fluctuations had already reached State Master level at the very least.

When he saw this strange fiend beast that had never been seen before in any of Green Luan Academy’s recordings, Lin Xi wondered if these sudden developments meant that they were already approaching a certain place.

This type of thinking didn’t persist for long in Lin Xi’s head.

Lucky’s aura was already getting more and more powerful by the day. Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang both felt that if they continued to remain in this Frozen God Domain, it would eventually break into the sacred level. Right now, it sensed a different aura in the surrounding air.

When it released a warning cry, Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang’s minds also quickly became serious and vigilant.

A moving white figure suddenly flickered before Lin Xi’s eyes. Immediately afterwards, there were many of them.

Qin Xiyue was the first to sense the changes happening to Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang. Then, she was shocked to discover that there were many other giant white sword-like vicious beasts that silently appeared in this frigid world around them. Several dozen of them quickly appeared before her, and she had no idea if there were still more to come.

Only now did she see how these fiend beasts moved.

There seemed to be a thin layer of air cushion between the fiend beasts and the ground that supported them. This cold world was quickly suffused with the special aura this type of fiend beast’s soul force rippled with.

Lucky released a scream that was even more fierce than before.

The cold energy released from its three tails made it seem as if three white flames were burning above its body.

All of these giant white sword shaped vicious beasts that swarmed over felt threatened, all of them stopping. However, this type of pause only continued for half a halt or so of time. When a few dozen more similar figures appeared, these giant white sword shaped fiend beasts continued to swarm over from all directions.

Chi

It was as if a sea of cold ice was suddenly cleaved apart.

A streak of sword radiance rushed out in front of Nangong Weiyang, drawing out a visible stream before stabbing into the White Sword Fiend closest to the three of them.

The cold energy around that White Sword Fiend suddenly vanished, all of it mysteriously sucked into its body. Immediately afterwards, it turned into an even more powerful cold stream, leaving its body and shooting at Nangong Weiyang’s sword light.

This ice sword shaped cold energy obviously couldn’t contend against Nangong Weiyang’s flying sword. Moreover, before entering Frozen God Domain, Green Luan Academy already prepared two ‘First Snow’ swords for Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang. Even though the cold jade materials of these two flying swords could only be considered mid level quality in terms of sturdiness, in this environment of extreme cold, they could instead display even greater power, integrating soul force even better.

Under Nangong Weiyang’s cold and serious gaze, her sword light suddenly rose, directly evading the incoming attack, and then planted itself fiercely into this White Sword Fiend’s body.

This White Sword Fiend didn’t fall.

When the lower half of its body lost the support of soul force, it ended up sucking up the ice beneath it. However, its life force had clearly been severed by Nangong Weiyang, so it only towered in place without moving.

Another flying sword tore through the sky.

Lin Xi also made his move.

The flying sword made its way around the three of them and the tent behind them, stabbing through the bodies of these White Sword Fiends one after another.

The cold energy released by these White Sword Fiends could fly out several dozen steps of distance, but this attack was extremely simple. For cultivators like Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang, these White Sword Fiends were only moving sword targets, they couldn’t pose them any threat.

However, Lin Xi’s expression grew more and more ugly.

More and more of these White Sword Fiends that didn’t even make a noise in death appeared in this frozen world around them. As he continued to use soul force, Lin Xi’s body gradually warmed up, his brain and reactions also growing increasingly clear.

He looked at these White Sword Fiends that continuously rushed over from all directions. Right now, he felt as if he was in an ocean, and endless jellyfish were currently swimming over.

The soul force of a cultivator would never be endless. Even if it were fiend beasts of lower level than these White Sword Fiends, as long as there was enough of them, it would be enough to wear them down to death.

Lucky also released an anxious cry.

After it took in the special natural energy of Frozen God Domain, Lucky who had already undergone a complete transformation inwardly and outwardly had more powerful perception than even Lin Xi or Nangong Weiyang.

There was no way for it to know where these White Sword Fiends came from either, nor could it know just what kind of creatures they were. However, in its perception, the White Sword Fiends that appeared around Lin Xi and itself already formed a white tide, their numbers already reaching a horrifying level.

It wanted to warn Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang that they couldn’t remain here and keep fighting, that they had to break out. However, it also felt a bit of despair. With these numbers, they wouldn’t be able to break out at all.

A burst of light vital energy poured out from a White Sword Fiend that had just died, entering Lin Xi’s body from more than ten steps away.

Lin Xi released a light cough.

His body wasn’t as powerful as Zhang Ping’s. Even when devouring the vital energy of a fiend beast of this level would bring his body some injuries, like taking a dose of poison. However, during this brief moment of time, there were already several hundred of these White Sword Fiends killed, yet there were close to a thousand White Sword Fiends that were newly added. In this type of situation, he couldn’t help but use this type of method to replenish a bit of soul force.

Nangong Weiyang’s brows furrowed deeply.

After killing several hundred White Sword Fiends with Lin Xi, she also already used up close to a third of her soul force.

The number of White Sword Fiends were clearly more than the thousand she sensed. Their numbers were still continuously growing.

“We are going to die here.”

She said to Lin Xi and Qin Xiyue.

She didn’t feel discouraged at all, she indeed stated a reality.

Lin Xi swallowed a gulp of saliva with difficulty. Together with the cold air, it was as if he forcibly swallowed a frozen pear.

In this type of situation, his Divine General talent was already completely useless. Even if he returned to ten minutes ago and they continued to move through Frozen God Domain, they would definitely run into more of these White Sword Fiends.

“I never expected to approach death so quickly.” Qin Xiyue felt like everything around her didn’t seem real. These frozen plains that had absolutely nothing for days on end suddenly produced endless fiend beasts. She turned around to look at Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang. “But it really is hard to accept that we are going to die just like this…”

Qin Xiyue’s voice seemed extremely fleeting amidst the sounds of flying swords and sliced flesh.

However, her voice suddenly seemed like a certain dividing line. Even the entire world suddenly became quiet.

Under Lin Xi’s perception, before Qin Xiyue spoke, the surrounding fiend beasts still gathered like endless jellyfish, yet after Qin Xiyue spoke, these endless monsters suddenly stopped, and then began to quickly flee in all directions.

Just a halt of time later, all traces of the White Sword Fiends completely vanished. Only the few hundred killed by Lin Xi and Nangong Weiyang remained motionless, towering like true swords.

All of this seemed like a dream. It seemed even more unrealistic.

“Could it be that sound can scare away these fiend beasts?” Lin Xi was drenched in sweat, currently already losing some of his thinking ability. He couldn’t help but say this.

Nangong Weiyang’s furrowed brows loosened. She shook her head. “That is impossible. We also made noise before.”

Lin Xi began to feel cold. He snapped out of his daze, starting to slowly adjust his breathing, using soul force to remove the sweat that was starting to freeze.

The two of them had indeed spoken before. Moreover, he was certain that these fiend beasts didn’t show any clear reactions to these sounds.

However, when he saw the hundreds of dead White Sword Fiends, an unrealistic feeling flooded his somewhat dizzy head again. He just couldn’t figure out why all of these fiend beasts would suddenly run.

“Should we still continue?”

Only after remaining quiet for a long time did he speak up again, asking Nangong Weiyang and Qin Xiyue.

Nangong Weiyang and Qin Xiyue thought sluggishly. They understood what Lin Xi was implying. “We only almost died… we didn’t really die.” Nangong Weiyang raised her head. She looked at Lin Xi, her expression a bit more sluggish than before, but also extremely firm as she said in an obvious manner, “Of course we continue.”
