Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 303: Kill Them All, and Peace Will Reign Over the Land!

The sudden appearance of the Calamity Seal Sword created a huge stir!

All the Sword Cultivators got swept away in the excitement. Those who were supposed to keep a lookout outside abandoned their duties to marvel at the Calamity Seal Sword inside the cave.

This was the slip-up that allowed the Inscription Cultivators and devils to sneak right in, catching Ling Chen and his entourage with their pants down!

"We've got company!"

The Sword Cultivators huddled around Ling Chen, their faces suddenly as stiff as a board, their eyes sharp and wary as they stared out into the darkness.

Out of the shadows, a group of nearly a hundred devils and Inscription Cultivators emerged, their deathly cold eyes fixed on the Sword Cultivators like hawks on a rabbit!

Their focus was on Ling Chen! There he was, sitting on a rock, holding the Calamity Seal Sword, with a nine-colored Sword Soul pressed against the blade.

The runic inscriptions on the surface of the Calamity Seal Sword danced and shimmered! There was no doubt about it, he was taming the sword!

Each and every Inscription Cultivator and devil saw it clear as day.

As if thunder cracked right beside their ears, the words of the War Princess echoed in their minds, "Whoever holds the Calamity Seal Sword is the culprit"

The eyes of all the Inscription Cultivators reddened in an instant, a storm of hatred and murderous intent brewing in their hearts.

The Ku Family, who were supposed to be allied with the Inscription Cultivators, had gone around and committed the most heinous betrayal, naturally stirring up a hornet's nest of anger!

"Inscription Cultivators? Devils?"

The sudden alliance of these two factions made Ku Qinglian and Feng Xuxu feel a chill run down their spines.

"Could it be my sister secretly joined forces with the devils and used the Calamity Seal Sword to open a passage for them?" Ku Qinglian furrowed her brows in suspicion.

"It's highly likely..." Feng Xuxu said, her eyes icy.

With such a turn of events, Ling Chen stopped what he was doing and, holding the hilt of the Calamity Seal Sword, looked up at the approaching hostile crowd.

"Aren't Inscription Cultivators your own kin?" Ling Chen asked Ku Qinglian.

Before she could reply, Gongyang Sheng from the other side stepped forward, his eyes bloodshot, and he let out a low growl. "Ku Qinglian, well done, youre ruthless! Since it's like this, don't blame us for being impolite. We'll present the heads of all you Sword Cultivators to the madame as an apology!"

"What do you mean by that?" Ku Qinglian frowned.

"Still playing dumb when you're holding the evidence in your hands?" the Lion Duke sneered.

"Evidence?" Feng Xuxu was startled and, seeing the Calamity Seal Sword, quickly said, "We just found this. Isn't there some misunderstanding here?"

"Found?" Gongyang Sheng laughed scornfully, "Right right You just happened to stumble upon the Calamity Seal Sword, a treasure of the Calamity Seal Purgatory? Lucky you, huh?"

"What exactly happened? Someone might be framing us. We really just found the Calamity Seal Sword!" Feng Xuxu insisted.

"Feng Xuxu, stop pretending!" The War Princess said coldly from the side, "I saw with my own eyes how you defeated Fu Longxiang and snatched the Calamity Seal Sword. You still dare to argue?"

"We defeated Fu Longxiang? Where is he then?" Ku Qinglian asked coldly.

"He's been sent back to the Endless Netherworld due to his severe injuries," the War Princess replied.

"So there's no way to verify it! War Princess, it seems like youre the one who snatched the Calamity Seal Sword. Is the Endless Netherworld trying to sabotage our relationship with the Inscription Cultivators?" Feng Xuxu retorted with a cold laugh.

The War Princess gave her a sidelong glance, too bored to bother with a reply. Instead, she turned to Gongyang Sheng and said, "Our targets are the two Exiled Sword Immortals, and now that we've cornered one of them, why waste time chit-chatting? Just finish off these runts, and peace will reign across the land! If you won't do it, we will!"

Gongyang Sheng, his eyes cold and fierce, stared at the Calamity Seal Sword and growled, "Ku Qinglian, your family betrayed the madame, and now you've marched yourselves to the gallows. Can't blame us for that! Ling Chen must die today!"

No sooner had his words fallen than the Inscription Cultivators, following his lead, pressed towards the Sword Cultivators, while the sixty-odd devils, faces twisted with malice, surged with killing intent.

Clearly, to the Inscription Cultivators, the identity of the culprit wasn't as important as bringing back a significant head to settle the score!

"What do we do?" Feng Xuxu gritted her teeth.

This was almost a three-to-one fight!

"The Inscription Cultivators showing up with the devils means my sister bypassed our family to join forces with the devils. She always wanted the Exiled Sword Immortals dead!" Ku Qinglian spat bitterly.

"So, the Calamity Seal Sword was planted by them, and Fu Longxiang... he's unharmed..." Feng Xuxu was burning with rage.

Fabricating a crime was easy when there was a will, wasn't it?

"Don't harbor any illusions; we swear to protect Exile Ling, break through the encirclement!" Ku Qinglian immediately instructed the surrounding Sword Cultivators.

"These oppressive humans and devils... when Exile Ling rises against heaven, that will be the day their entire prison falls!" Feng Xuxu's eyes blazed with fervor.

Both sides fueled their mutual hatred, conjuring up a deep-seated enmity on the spot.

Through all this, Ling Chen remained silent!

He suddenly realized something. The conspiracies, killings, and betrayals among mortals were no less than what he had seen in his previous life. In fact, in the lower worlds, unrestrained by rules, everyone was practically out for blood!

"Protect me through the siege, and you shall be rewarded with a hundred generations of peace," Ling Chen said calmly, holding the Calamity Seal Sword.

"Yes!" The Sword Cultivators, driven into a corner, had no other choice.

On the opposite side, the Inscription Cultivators were already brandishing their Life Sigils, which were better suited for large-scale battles. Together with the sixty plus devils, who were balanced in physical and magical strength, they held an overwhelming advantage!

"Attack!" the Lion Duke and Gongyang Sheng bellowed in unison.

In the cramped cave, a battle erupted like a pot boiling over. Wind, fire, water, earth, thunderall sorts of daoist spells exploded, filling the cave with a kaleidoscope of light and thunderous roars.

BOOM! The barren valley quaked, trees rustled and swayed wildly.

In the darkness, demons with blood-red eyes were closing in from all directions.

"Break through!" Ku Qinglian shouted fiercely. Dozens of Sword Souls burst from the cave, forming a sword formation that blasted the ceiling.

With a loud explosion, the cave exploded, rocks and gravel scattering in all directions!

In a flash, three figures burst through the top of the cave and soared into the sky. It was Ku Qinglian and Feng Xuxu! In the middle, they were protecting Ling Chen, who was holding the Calamity Seal Sword, as they made a daring escape.

Sadly, the other Sword Cultivators weren't so lucky.

Gongyang Sheng immediately ordered the Inscription Cultivators to seal the cave's ceiling with Life Sigils, trapping the remaining Sword Cultivators!

"Kill them all! Only by delivering their heads can we pave our own way to survival!" Gongyang Sheng's words awakened the other Inscription Cultivators.

With the Talisman Prince disfigured and crippled beyond saving, they were all responsible. Only the heads of the two Exiled Sword Immortals could atone for their mistakes and offer them a lifeline. Desperate to survive, the Inscription Cultivators fought even more fiercely than the devils!

"Trap them!"

"Don't let a single one escape!"

This cave had become a living hell for the Sword Cultivators! They were surrounded on all sides by enemies! Devils in front, Inscription Cultivators behind, the enemy was out for blood. Outnumbered three-to-one, the Sword Cultivators, mostly of the Ku Family, were slaughtered mercilessly!

Before this, four figures had already dashed out of the cave! These were four Fate Ocean Realm experts, the Lion Duke, Gongyang Sheng, and two devil elders from the Endless Netherworld.

"There they are!"

The moment they emerged, they spotted Ling Chen and his companions and relentlessly pursued them.

"Sword Cultivators are fast, but with a junior in tow, they lose their edge!" Gongyang Sheng said with a sinister tone.

"This only proves that no matter how talented an Exiled Sword Immortal is, they're still just a prodigy, and the fate of prodigies is often premature demise!" the Lion Duke sneered. He didn't care whether the true culprit was Ling Chen or Yun Xiao. Both had to die!

The four transformed into three streaks of blood and one of light, slashing across the sky!

Below, at some point, countless demons had gathered, swarming towards the cave like a dark tide but the Lion Duke and the others didn't take these lesser demons of the Demon Continent seriously.

"I'll stop them!" the Lion Duke declared, waving his hand and unleashing a burst of blood mist. He soared into the sky, performing a blood art that created a massive blood-red lion's gate in the air, blocking Ku Qinglian and Feng Xuxu's path!

BOOM! Ku Qinglian shattered the blood lion gate with her Sovereign Sword, but their speed was greatly reduced!

The pursuers were closing the gap!

"Damn it!" Ku Qinglian was furious, a shadow of despair looming over her.

And though Feng Xuxu didn't speak, her face had also turned pale!

The Ku Family, being small in number, had gambled everything on Ling Chen acquiring the Heavenly Land quickly. Little did they expect to be plunged into such a deadly crisis before anything had even started.

"Only four are chasing us?" Ling Chen looked back amidst the wind, his eyes flickering with suppressed rage.

"Yes! But they're all in the Establishment Fate Ocean Realm, especially the Lion Duke, who might have the strength of an Overseer..." Feng Xuxu said, trembling.

"You block them, I'll go alone!" Ling Chen suddenly declared.

"How can we stop four of them?" Ku Qinglian asked coldly.

"Just stop them by any means for a short time, I have my own way of escaping."

Even at this moment, there wasn't a hint of disarray in Ling Chen's eyes. As the reincarnation of the Divine Sky Sword Emperor, already on the path of cultivation again, how could he just die like that?

"You won't obey?" Ling Chen cast a cold glance at them. "Relax, you're my women. When I return to my peak, even if you die today, I can revive you! Just give me some time, and your families will eternally dominate the Nine Hells!"

"Xuxu!" Ku Qinglian suddenly looked at Feng Xuxu.

"Shall we go for it?" Feng Xuxu asked, trembling.

"Let's do this!" Ku Qinglian knew their family had bet everything on Ling Chen. If he truly died here, their whole family was doomed!

With a righteous fury and tears in their eyes, they pushed Ling Chen away and, holding their Sword Souls, turned to face the four pursuers.

"Sword Union! Stormy Sword Prison!" The two, bosom friends for years, coordinated flawlessly, their Sword Auras reaching over 3,000 layers!

Their counterattack took the Lion Duke and his companions by surprise.

Their swords combined, creating a tempest of sword energy! For a moment, their swords formed a prison of swirling storms and clouds, trapping their pursuers within!

"Well done!" Ling Chen, hovering in the air, let out a cold laugh. He brought forth the nine-colored Sword Soul, his eyes suddenly filled with the power of the void.

"The laws of space, one step to the horizon! A sword within reach, covering thousands of miles..." With the nine-colored Sword Soul, he drew a perfect circle in the air. As the circle formed, the space inside began to ripple.

"Go now, Exile Ling!" Behind him on the battlefield, Ku Qinglian and Feng Xuxu were fighting two against four. The Lion Duke broke through the encirclement, charging at Ling Chen like a blood-red lion.

"Inscription Cultivator and devils, huh? A month from now, I'll repay today's humiliation a thousandfold!" Ling Chen glared fiercely at the Lion Duke, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

He stepped forward, plunging into the portal, and suddenly vanished from this world.
