Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Sword Slaying the Evil Horde
“At this moment, Wang Chen was under tremendous pressure.”

“From directly ahead of him, more than a dozen Grey Eye Thieves launched a barrage of attacks like a storm.”

“Spiraling Wind Blades, each carrying arrows condensed with Yin Sha Energy, sealed off all Wang Chen’s paths of retreat.”

“And to his left and right, even more Grey Eye Thieves were closing in rapidly.”

“These evil cultivators drew their Long Sabers, and the blades—empowered with Mana—gleamed with a chilling light, stirring up layers of fierce Sword Light as they swept toward Wang Chen like raging waves.”

“With long-range and close combat, the coordination amongst the dozens of Grey Eye Thieves was tacit and skilled.”

“They were expressionless, silent, their pairs of grey eyes akin to those of dead fish.”

“Chilling at first sight.”

“However, what puzzled Wang Chen was that, despite the ferocity of the evil cultivators’ offensive, their killing intent was not strong.”

“It seemed more like they wanted to…”

“Capture him alive?”

“Wang Chen snorted coldly and stimulated his Dantian Mana to the extreme.”

“He swung his arms violently, his ten fingers spread wide, and in an instant, he released twelve Meteor Fire Talismans!”

“The next moment, twelve blazing fireballs roared towards the Grey Eye Thieves trying to pincer him from both sides.”

“The Meteor Fire Talismans crafted by a Grandmaster-level Talisman Crafting Technique were at least fifty percent more powerful than ordinary talismans of the same kind.”

“These fierce evil cultivators dared not face their sharp edges and resorted to using their Long Sabers to parry and block.”

“Or they conjured Magical Shields to intercept.”

“However, the Magical Shields they deployed not only lacked any features of Spiritual Light but also exuded a dense evil aura!”

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

“Fireballs exploded one after another, countless flames splashed in all directions, lighting up the entire hill.”

“The previously smooth offensive of the evil cultivators suddenly hit a brief pause.”

“And that was exactly the result Wang Chen had wanted!”

“The sword strikes!”

“Clang!”

“The Fire Crow Sword on Wang Chen’s back suddenly unsheathed.”

“The originally shiny blade now shimmered with a faint golden hue, swiftly streaking toward the right.”

“With a flash of light, a head flew up into the sky!”

“The Fire Crow Sword once again demonstrated the formidable power of the Flying Sword.”

“Yet this was merely the beginning.”

“Wang Chen raised his Spiritual Light Shield and, bearing the Grey Eye Thieves’ frenzied magical assault, focused intently on controlling the Fire Crow Sword.”

“This Flying Sword, infused with the power of Geng Metal, orbited Wang Chen at an astonishing speed, slicing through the Body Protection Magical Shields of the Grey Eye Thieves and severing their sinister heads with an unstoppable force!”

“These Grey Eye Thieves, commanded by powerful Evil Wraiths and having lost most of their intelligence, still possessed their Cultivation Level and combat experience, and their huge numerical advantage meant they were collectively not weaker than a cultivator at the Primary Tier of Purple Mansion.”

“However, under the sweep of the Fire Crow Flying Sword, even the strongest Grey Eye Thief only managed to block two strikes.”

“In the span of just a few breaths, more than ten evil cultivators were beheaded!”

“[Human Virtue +29]”

“[Human Virtue +27]”

“[Human Virtue +32]”

“…”

“Wang Chen’s field of vision was suddenly filled with a waterfall of information, displaying his recent victories!”

“Why Human Virtue?”

“Wang Chen was very surprised, for he had clearly been awarded Heavenly Merit points for slaying Grey Eye Thieves in the past.”

“But at this very moment, Wang Chen had no time to seek an answer.”

“As the attack range of the Fire Crow Sword expanded.”

“His Dantian Mana was being rapidly depleted, already less than fifty percent of its peak!”

“The Flying Sword’s lethality was astonishing, and so was the cost of controlling it. If Wang Chen had not recently broken through to the eighth tier of Qi Cultivation, he feared that at most only one-third of his Mana would remain.”

Without a second thought, he drew the spiritual power from the Demon-Slaying Net to replenish his depleted mana!

Buzzing buzzing buzzing~

The Fire Crow Sword, which had just feasted on the enemy’s fresh blood, suddenly emitted a war-filled hum and shot straight forward dozens of steps, piercing through the chest of a Grey Eye Thief.

The flying sword emerged from the back of the evil cultivator and instantly changed direction, sweeping across the neck of another Grey Eye Thief beside him, severing his head!

[Human Virtue +30]

[Human Virtue +35]

The formation of the Grey Eye Thieves was instantly thrown into chaos, and their magical strikes against Wang Chen no longer coordinated.

And the killing by the Fire Crow Sword continued!

At this moment, Wang Chen’s mind was completely immersed in controlling the flying sword.

The Fire Crow Sword seemed to have become a part of his body, dancing and vibrating with his thoughts, while the basic sword moves he usually practiced were perfectly executed through the unrelenting attacks.

Stab, slash, pare, loop, poke, burst…

With every flash of the sword light, an evil cultivator would inevitably contribute Human Virtue points.

And as more Grey Eye Thieves fell, Wang Chen’s murderous intent and fighting spirit soared, making his command of the flying sword even more proficient!

In the heat of the battle, he could not help but purse his lips and let out a long, echoing howl.

The howl was long and melodious, spreading in all directions, and the Fire Crow Sword as if sensing Wang Chen’s surging fighting intent, suddenly emitted myriad sharp beams of light.

It cleaved a Grey Eye Thief, who had bolstered himself with a Magical Shield, in half!

This sword was indeed powerful and sharp to the extreme.

It was a burst of power beyond his realm!

Wang Chen felt his grasp of the Sword Control Technique greatly deepened, with numerous ingenious thoughts emerging in his mind.

However, just as Wang Chen was inwardly thrilled, a black shadow silently appeared behind him and thrust a dagger towards his heart.

This dagger was dull and lightless, harboring an extremely dense Yin Sha Energy.

Clearly aiming for Wang Chen’s Spirit Light Armor!

And the timing chosen by the assassin for this sneak attack was excellent, exactly when Wang Chen was preoccupied with slaying enemies in all directions with the flying sword and had somewhat neglected his own defense.

But in the moment the assassin launched the sneak attack, wisps of white smoke suddenly arose from his body, like snow under scorching sun rays, his skin showing signs of dissolution.

Wang Chen’s previously laid Evil-Dissipating Talisman came into effect at this moment!

Due to the influence and erosion of Pure Yang Qi, the assassin’s movements unavoidably slowed down a notch.

Wang Chen had already sensed it and turned around abruptly, landing a punch straight on the assailant’s chest.

Bang!

This punch concentrated ninety percent of Vajra Fist’s strength, forcing a surge of powerful Qi-Blood forcefully into the assassin’s body.

Then it exploded violently!

The assassin was blown away like a kite with its string cut, a horrific hole blown open in his chest, the wound as though soaked in sulfuric acid, smoking and expanding rapidly.

[Human Virtue +50]

By the time he hit the ground, he had become a mutilated corpse!

Wang Chen took a deep breath, calming the Qi-Blood and mana within his body that had become disordered.

The Fire Crow Sword flew back to him.

With Wang Chen’s current cultivation realm, he couldn’t fully sustain simultaneous close and long ranged combat.

Thus, he had to recall the flying sword, or else it would be easy to lose control and give the enemy an opportunity to strike!

But by now, the Grey Eye Thieves had been decimated by Wang Chen.

Only six remained.

Nevertheless, they showed neither fear nor hesitation, continuing their savage assault on Wang Chen.

“Die!”

Wang Chen exclaimed as he raised his arms high, flames bursting forth, and Fire Crows rapidly condensing into existence.

Kill! Kill! Kill!
