149: Killing Talent

There were a hundred Dao Soldiers, eight of which were Divine Travel Dao Soldiers comparable to Yin Gods. Including the two Jiaolong Divine Walking Dao Soldiers from the start, that makes a total of ten.

In contrast, counting the Lin Yuan Sect Master, there were only five high-level Yin Spirit Realm Cultivators here.

The situation instantly reversed. Previously, five high-level Yin Spirit Realm Cultivators and dozens of Dao Embryo Realm experts were besieging Lu Chen, but now, Lu Chen was besieging them.

The Divine Travel Dao Soldiers paired up, forming Twofold Tactics Formations, each besieging a high-level Yin Spirit Realm Cultivator.

The remaining ninety-two Five Elements Dao Soldiers were simpler. Eighty of them, in groups of ten, formed eight Ten Capital Fierce Calculation Battle Formations. The remaining twelve formed a Twelve Yuan Chen Battle Formation, completely surrounding the dozens of Dao Embryos. With their first move, they achieved absolute suppression, crushing more than ten Dao Embryo Realm experts.

Compared to the Dao Soldiers who had formed battle formations, these Dao Embryo Realm experts were like loose sand, scattering and dying with a single charge, utterly fragile.

Screams and pleas for mercy continuously echoed from the scene, making the scalps of the many Cultivators who hadn't taken action tingle with fear.

It was fortunate that they hadn't attacked Lu Chen just now, otherwise, the fate of these Dao Embryo Realm experts would also be theirs.

In contrast, Lu Chen sat calmly upon the White Tiger, his hands clasped, supporting his chin with his knuckles, silently looking down upon everything.

But more importantly, he was watching the thousand-plus Elders and Disciples of the Lin Yuan Sect.

The Lin Yuan Sect Master was being besieged by his Divine Travel Dao Soldiers, and these Lin Yuan Sect members were very likely to join the battle to rescue him.

Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't mind. However, he also wanted to see if these people from the Lin Yuan Sect would cause the entire Lin Yuan Sect to fall into eternal doom because of their Sect Leader.

"Sect Leader Senior apprentice-brother..." As expected, the Elders of the Lin Yuan Sect stepped forward in unison, already showing signs of being unable to hold back and wanting to act, but they were extremely wary of Lu Chen's Dao Soldiers.

"Pass down this Sect's order: all Lin Yuan Sect Disciples are forbidden from interfering in this matter. Violators will be expelled from the Sect and have their cultivation severed." The Lin Yuan Sect Master roared in a low voice, unable to even spare a moment to look at the many Lin Yuan Sect members. His magic power surged, and the mountain and river great seal in his palm instantly transformed into a mountain-like size, engraved with various profound formation patterns and even mountains, rivers, and land.

As the great seal was activated, the mountains, rivers, and land on it seemed to come alive, as if turning into reality, possessing immeasurable weight.

"Boom!"

Forming a Twofold Tactics Formation, seeming to transform into Yin and Yang fish, the two Divine Travel Dao Soldiers who appeared and disappeared like ghosts, constantly attacking, crashed violently into the great seal. Astonishing malevolent energy, accompanied by the power of the Five Elements and the power of wind, all converged within the Earthly Fiend Dragon Slaying Art, merging instantly and blasting the great seal open.

Astonishing waves of air surged, like vast ocean waves, rolling and spreading, causing ripples in the Void itself, as if it were twisting.

"It's just the most common Twofold Tactics Formation, why does it possess such power in the hands of these Puppets?!" The Lin Yuan Sect Master grew more and more startled as he fought.

He himself was at the peak of the Yin Spirit Realm, and with the top-grade Magic Treasure 'mountain and river great seal' in hand, even if two ordinary Yin Gods arrived together, he would not be at a disadvantage.

But facing these two dark golden Puppets forming a Twofold Tactics Formation, he hit walls everywhere and was suppressed to an extremely stifling degree.

Because these Puppets were too powerful, their entire bodies had the Golden Body of Undying, and they could control the Five Elements and the power of wind to empower themselves. They also had ultimate techniques at their disposal, and crucially, after forming the battle formation, there was the wonder of Yin and Yang, as if they truly transformed into Yin and Yang, indistinguishable from each other, like a single entity.

It was as if these weren't two separate Puppets, but two Puppets fused into one, two sides of the same coin. Furthermore, after forming the Twofold Tactics Formation, the strength of these two Puppets had long surpassed the effect of one plus one being far greater than two.

This level of strength was simply too great.

The main reason was the Golden Body of Undying; it was completely impossible to inflict damage on these Puppets.

But conversely, if such a Puppet touched him, he would instantly be torn limb from limb, his Physical Body turning into mud in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

Silently and without a trace, the two Dao Soldiers who had blasted the mountain and river great seal away transformed back into Yin and Yang fish and vanished.

The next moment, the Lin Yuan Sect Master made a sudden move, clenching the mountain and river great seal in his palm and blasting it violently upwards. Terrifying power erupted, shattering the clouds three thousand zhang above.

The Void rippled layer upon layer, and the waves of air seemed to solidify as they rolled like a tide.

However...

"I've been tricked!" The Lin Yuan Sect Master's heart suddenly sank.

Because there was only one Puppet above his head, sent soaring upwards by the mountain and river great seal.

But the other Puppet had disappeared without a trace.

Almost at the same moment, horrifying malevolent energy struck. Accompanying it was a dark golden great hand, piercing out like a blade from behind the Lin Yuan Sect Master, penetrating his chest, and then tearing the entire Lin Yuan Sect Master into two halves.

"Destroyed this Sect Leader's Physical Body, damn it..." From the Lin Yuan Sect Master's shattered Physical Body, an enraged Yin God surged out, and astonishing pressure wantonly pressed towards all directions.

In the Yin Spirit Realm, the strongest state is never when the Physical Body is still present, but rather the shelled Yin God in the Yin God state.

Formless and insubstantial, coming and going without a trace, their methods are more than three parts superior.

However, before the Lin Yuan Sect Master's Yin God could finish speaking in anger, and before he could unleash widespread slaughter, a Five Elements Dao Soldier had quietly appeared, swallowing the Lin Yuan Sect Master's Yin God in one gulp, as if it had been waiting for a long time.

"Sect Leader, he's dead!" The thousand-plus Lin Yuan Sect members and Elders watched the Sect Leader perish before their eyes, all seemingly drained of their vital energy and spirit in an instant, freezing in place.

Among them, some were angry, some were panicked, and some were even secretly delighted. However, none wanted to rush forward and fight Lu Chen to the death.

They were all Cultivators, so they naturally knew how terrifying Lu Chen was.

Even if they rushed forward now, it would just be sending their heads to their deaths in anger. Other than that, it would have no effect. Avenge the Sect Leader? That was a joke.

"Another Divine Travel Dao Soldier gained, an unexpected pleasure." Lu Chen waved his hand, recalling the Five Elements Dao Soldier that had swallowed the Lin Yuan Sect Master's Yin God. His expression was neither happy nor sad as he remained seated on the White Tiger Dao Soldier.

Almost at the same time the Lin Yuan Sect Master perished, the remaining four Yin Gods also couldn't hold on. They were all directly annihilated by the Divine Travel Dao Soldiers who had formed Twofold Tactics Formations, and the escaped Yin God Dao Soldiers were swallowed by the Five Elements Dao Soldiers.

As for those Dao Embryo Realm experts, long before the five high-level Yin Spirit Realm Cultivators died, they had already been completely surrounded and killed, and had gone to reincarnate.

In the blink of an eye, the chaotic great battle ended, and the Abyssal depths instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Only the hundred-plus Dao Soldiers remained, each dragging a corpse of a perished Dao Embryo or Yin God Cultivator, stepping through the Void, returning before Lu Chen. Each one was silent, making the Cultivators watching from the side feel inexplicably terrified.

"Where exactly did this person, this malevolent star, come from?!"

How could this be a young Cultivator? He was clearly a killing machine rampaging unchecked with a group of 'malevolent gods'!
