Chaotic Sword God Chapter 2623 - The Power of Eight

Chapter 2623: The Power of Eight
Deafening booms constantly rang out in outer space. Terrifying sound waves and devastating shockwaves swept through the area, reducing the space there to shards.
Gongsun Zhi shone brightly as he wielded Godslayer’s sword. He launched relentless attacks at the mountain soul. Whenever he swung down, the might created would be enough to cleave worlds into two. Space would shatter. His power was extremely astonishing.
On the other hand, the mountain soul seemed like it had sunken into quicksand under the restraints from Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun. It moved in an extremely sluggish manner, so it was unable to avoid Gongsun Zhi’s attacks.
As a result, the mountain soul could only depend on its sturdy barrier to block Gongsun Zhi’s violent attacks.
“The mountain soul can’t last much longer. The protector swords from the Radiant Saint Hall are too powerful,” Chu Jian said sternly from inside the Martial Soul Array on the Martial Soul Mountain. He was extremely solemn.
The danger that their Martial Soul lineage faced this time was much greater than what they experienced back on the Desolate Plane.
This was all because of the protector swords from the Radiant Saint Hall.
The protector swords were just too powerful, with Godslayer’s sword in particular. Gongsun Zhi clearly could not unleash its full power, but the might of the attacks were no weaker than the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance’s.
A figure shot over with lightning speed. He moved extremely quickly as he headed directly towards the mountain soul.
He was Yue Chao. Originally, he was responsible for keeping Gongsun Zhi busy. Now that Gongsun Zhi was set on attacking the Martial Soul Mountain, he had been freed up as well. He could only return to the mountain soul.
Xu Zhiping and Sha Yun naturally discovered Yue Chao’s approach. A cold light flickered through Sha Yun’s eyes immediately. He was about to deal with Yue Chao.
“Don’t pay attention to him. Concentrating your power on keeping the Martial Soul Mountain trapped is the priority. Once we scatter our power, it’s extremely likely for them to flee with a secret technique. Once they really do escape, there will be endless future problems,” Xu Zhiping said sternly.
With that, Sha Yun immediately held back his urge to attack. He sniggered and said, “Fair enough. It’s extremely likely that Yue Chao is purposefully trying to pass through our seal despite all the risk just to lure us into attacking him. We’re currently doing all that we can to keep the Martial Soul Mountain trapped. If we really do scatter some of our power, even if it’s just a tiny sliver, it’s extremely likely for the Martial Soul lineage to escape.”
Yue Chao returned to the mountain soul successfully. He appeared before Jian Chen and the others immediately.
Currently, Yue Chao was pale-faced and covered with blood. In particular, a bowl-sized hole in his chest stood out. The flesh around the wound had been charred by Xu Zhiping’s Laws of the Sun.
“Third senior brother, how are you?” The faces of everyone in the Martial Soul Array hardened as they asked in concern when they noticed Yue Chao’s wound.
“Third senior brother, were you injured by Xu Zhiping?” Jian Chen looked at Yue Chao’s wound, and his face became rather sunken. He could clearly sense extremely pure lingering traces of the Laws of the Sun.
With the lingering traces of the laws, Yue Chao was unable to recover. His condition would even constantly worsen, so his wounds that were not particularly severe in the beginning would become worse and worse.
“It’s no problem. Our priority is dealing with the danger that we face right now. Come, let’s form the Martial Soul Array with seven people. Let’s see how much first senior brother’s strength will increase once we combine all our strength. It’ll be up to first senior brother to stop them now.” Yue Chao ignored his wounds. As soon as he arrived, he immediately joined them in the Martial Soul Array.
With his addition, the Martial Soul Array immediately became much more powerful. It was far, far more powerful than back on the Desolate Plane.
In the distance, Hun Zang’s face lightened up as he battled Huangfu Guiyi. With Yue Chao’s addition, he immediately felt his strength rapidly increase.
Suddenly, he bellowed out, and his presence surged out like a flood. He directly threw a punch.
He had clearly used some sort of powerful secret technique with the punch. The fist crushed the space there. With astonishing power, it directly colliding with a spear that Huangfu Guiyi had condensed from the Laws of Slaughter.
Boom!
With a great rumble, the spear actually cracked when it collided with Hun Zang’s fist, dispersing into the surroundings as fragments of laws.
Hun Zang’s fist continued onwards without slowing down, hurtling towards Huangfu Guiyi’s face like it was unstoppable. Wherever it passed, space would crumple like paper.
Huangfu Guiyi’s expression hardened. However, he was wearing a set of god artifact armor, so he was fearless. The power of slaughter permeated his surroundings, making him seem like a god of war with an iron heart. Laws condensed on his hands as terrifying energy surged as he directly struck out with lightning speed.
The punch and palm strike collided like worlds. The tremendous explosion and shockwave seemed to split the universe into two. The sea of stars in the surroundings vanished as the entire region of space descended into chaos.
Huangfu Guiyi’s expression immediately changed. He was pushed back uncontrollably by the violent storm of energy as his face became flushed.
With his cultivation as a peak Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime and the Laws of Slaughter he had comprehended, he had still been knocked back by a single punch from Hun Zang.
“This is power that is almost on par with the Fifth Heavenly Layer!” Huangfu Guiyi was stern. He was still able to match Hun Zang before, but now, he had been forced into an inferior position by Hun Zang’s new strength.
Moreover, to his terror, Hun Zang’s strength was not the only thing that had grown. Even his Martial Soul Force had become greater.
At this moment, the protective barrier on the mountain soul shook unsteadily under the attacks of the protector sword. The entire mountain soul shook violently; it was on the verge of collapse.
“The mountain soul can’t last much longer,” thought Hun Zang. Due to the Martial Soul Array, he completely understood the situation of the mountain soul. Once the mountain soul fell, the Martial Soul Array would be disrupted, and the consequences would be unthinkable.
As a result, he did not spend too much time dealing with Huangfu Guiyi. He immediately rushed back to the mountain soul.
“Hun Zang, our battle still hasn’t ended yet.” Huangfu Guiyi immediately blocked Hun Zang’s way. The laws flared around him. Clearly, he was ready to use his full strength to pin down Hun Zang and prevent him from providing any assistance.
“Huangfu Guiyi, you are the one seeking death.” Hun Zang’s voice was frigid. In the next moment, surging Martial Soul Force suddenly shot out of his forehead as an invisible sword, crossing through space and directly slashing at Huangfu Guiyi.
At this urgent moment, Hun Zang could no longer care about the expenditure of the power of his soul. He directly used the Heaven-severing technique.
Even Huangfu Guiyi, a peak Fourth Heavenly Layer Grand Prime, was unable to defend himself before Martial Soul Force. The Heaven-severing technique passed through all of his defences and landed firmly on his soul.
Huangfu Guiyi let out a grunt. The Heaven-severing technique was just too powerful. His soul began to collapse after taking on the attack, where the splitting pain immediately turned him sheet-white.
However, Hun Zang had used up half of the power of his soul after using the Heaven-severing technique.
It was not just him either. Even Chu Jian, Yue Chao, Yun Ziting, Su Qi, Bai Rufeng, Qing Shan, and Jian Chen had all lost half of the power of their souls as they maintained the Martial Soul Array.
