Inside a city gate of Sunset City, dust and smoke filled the air, obscuring everyone's view.
As the crowd looked toward the smoky area, their expressions were filled with various emotions.
There was worry, mockery, disdain, and sighs of resignation...
When Dao Lengtian saw Aotian within the attack range of his Blade Aura, excitement immediately filled his face.
In his eyes, Aotian could never evade this strike. After all, this attack of his was extremely terrifying; even among the Azure Cloud Sect, only a few could withstand it.
The dust lingered for a long time, and within it, there was still no sign of movement.
Niu Geng and Sun Jing felt their hearts sink slowly at the sight. Meanwhile, the members of the Azure Cloud Sect were as excited as if they had taken a stimulant.
Most of the martial artists surrounding that swirling dust couldn't help but let out sighs of regret, as if lamenting that a genius was being crushed by the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Thud."
At that moment, a dull thudding sound echoed from within the dust. Everyone's gaze immediately focused on that spot, their faces filled with astonishment.
Niu Geng and Sun Jing's faces were filled with ecstasy, their eyes brimming with anticipation as if they were waiting for a figure resembling a god of death to reappear.
"Whoosh."
Just then, a loud sound of breaking air resonated. Following that, a figure appeared before Dao Lengtian like lightning.
This figure clenched its fist and charged toward Dao Lengtian's chest with an overwhelming force.
This figure was none other than Aotian!
Dao Lengtian had been vigilant and attentive to Aotian, so when Aotian appeared, he reacted immediately.
Seeing Aotian's fierce assault, Dao Lengtian pushed off the ground with his foot and retreated to avoid Aotian's attack.
Just as he dodged Aotian's strike, Dao Lengtian swung his large blade fiercely. Instantly, countless blade shadows descended upon Aotian, overwhelming him and causing onlookers to feel a chill run down their spines.
The blade shadows enveloped Aotian from head to toe, prompting gasps of astonishment from the surrounding warriors.
However, Dao Lengtian furrowed his brow slightly, realizing that none of the thousands of blade shadows had hit Aotian. This left him feeling somewhat incredulous.
"Ah!"
"No!"
"Spare my life!"
At that moment, Dao Lengtian suddenly heard piercing screams coming from behind him.
He quickly turned around and nearly twisted his nose in anger at the sight behind him.
Aotian had somehow appeared behind him, wielding the Spear of Slaughter, moving through the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. With each swing of the Spear of Slaughter, a disciple's life was claimed. He resembled a reaper descending upon the mortal realm, controlling the lives of those around him.
Blood flew through the air, limbs scattered everywhere, and heads rolled. Wherever Aotian passed, it was as if hell itself had arrived.
Warriors who were not disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect instinctively distanced themselves upon witnessing such brutal slaughter. Looking at Aotian, whose face was grim, eyes bloodshot, and robes stained with blood, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"Never-Setting Sun, how can Aotian be so insane? Is he forcing us into a desperate situation?!" Ruan Lin said darkly, fixating on the figure wielding the spear.
Yet even Ruan Lin himself did not notice the subtle hint of fear in his tone.
The signature smile had vanished from Never-Setting Sun's face. As he looked at Aotian, his eyes filled with icy coldness, he said:
“At this moment, that kid has completely lost his mind, devoid of any thoughts, only knowing how to kill. He no longer understands the concept of mutual destruction; in his heart, there is only boundless slaughter!”
After hearing Never-Setting Sun's words, Ruan Lin also felt that the situation had become somewhat tricky. Aotian at this moment was equivalent to a madman, and dealing with a madman was the most dangerous thing.
Because a madman does not care about his own injuries; once they have locked onto their target, they will pay the price with their lives to achieve it.
And Aotian, who has lost his mind, is undoubtedly such a madman.
“Never-Setting Sun, what should we do? Should we let Dao Lengtian handle it himself, or should we step in to assist him?” Ruan Lin asked with a furrowed brow.
Never-Setting Sun said solemnly, “We must intervene! We cannot allow that kid to run rampant any longer; otherwise, our Azure Cloud Sect will lose all face!”
Sun Jing and Niu Geng, who were standing nearby, seemed to sense Never-Setting Sun and Ruan Lin's intentions. After exchanging glances, they both flew in front of Never-Setting Sun and Ruan Lin simultaneously.
Seeing Niu Geng standing in front of him, Never-Setting Sun's face suddenly showed a smile that was neither here nor there.
“Ruan Lin, let me deal with these two. You go help Dao Lengtian kill Aotian,” Never-Setting Sun said with his signature smile returning to his face.
Ruan Lin did not think much of it after hearing this; he nodded at Never-Setting Sun and then flew towards Aotian.
Watching Ruan Lin's retreating figure, Never-Setting Sun's smile widened as he murmured, “What a fool!”
Aotian had already lost his mind; he could now be considered a complete lunatic. Dealing with Aotian would undoubtedly carry a high risk factor. In contrast, Niu Geng and Sun Jing were much easier to handle.
Subsequently, under Never-Setting Sun's subtle guidance, Niu Geng and Sun Jing found themselves locked in a stalemate with him...
Aotian's eyes were bloodshot, completely consumed by the desire for slaughter.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Aotian relentlessly harvested the lives of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples, ignoring their cries and screams.
"You brat, you have some guts!" Dao Lengtian appeared like a ghost in front of Aotian, blocking his path.
Aotian immediately halted his "path of slaughter," staring at Dao Lengtian with blood-red eyes.
"Shh."
At that moment, Ruan Lin also appeared behind Aotian, filled with murderous intent as he fixed his gaze on Aotian.
Aotian seemed to sense something, slightly shifting his body while remaining wary of both Dao Lengtian and Ruan Lin.
Regarding Ruan Lin's interference in the battle with Aotian, Dao Lengtian merely frowned slightly but said nothing more. He understood that only by joining forces with Ruan Lin could they have a better chance of taking down Aotian. After all, although Aotian had little rationality left, he was even more difficult to deal with than before.
"Attack!"
With a cold shout, Dao Lengtian and Ruan Lin simultaneously charged at Aotian.
At this moment, although Aotian lacked rationality, various martial arts techniques seemed to come effortlessly to him, and they were even more profound than before he lost control.
In an instant, Aotian's figure flickered, as if the sound of a Dragon's Roar echoed out. He then evaded Dao Lengtian, resuming his "path of slaughter."
Clearly, earlier Aotian had unleashed a fragment of the Stunning Dragon Movement Technique.
Seeing that Aotian had dodged his attack, Dao Lengtian felt an even greater surge of anger within him, his eyes filled with an unresolvable killing intent. He then raised his large blade and pursued Aotian once more.
Aotian seemed to know that Dao Lengtian was not to be trifled with, so he did not confront Dao Lengtian directly. Instead, he relied on the Stunning Dragon Movement Technique to evade Dao Lengtian, continuously slaying the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.
At that moment, a strange scene unfolded in Sunset City. A young man wielding a spear was harvesting the lives of the Azure Cloud Sect disciples like a god of death, while behind him, Dao Lengtian and Ruan Lin pursued closely but could not stop Aotian.
Gradually, the number of corpses in Sunset City increased, and a chilling aura began to spread around.
Suddenly, Dao Lengtian halted his pursuit, his face dark and his gaze cold as he looked at the young man wielding the spear.
“Deputy Master Dao, why have you stopped chasing?” Ruan Lin asked, puzzled as he looked at Dao Lengtian.
Dao Lengtian snorted in anger and then shouted coldly:
“Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, listen up! Form the Azure Cloud Sunset Formation!”
As they faced Aotian's reckless slaughter, each disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect felt fear creeping in, terrified that death would suddenly descend upon them.
When they saw that even Dao Lengtian and Ruan Lin could not stop Aotian, despair enveloped their hearts even more.
Now hearing Dao Lengtian instruct them to form the Azure Cloud Sunset Formation, they naturally dared not delay. For now, forming this formation was their only chance to withstand Aotian's killing spree.
Immediately, those disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect who had not fallen joined together to form the same seal. Their auras seemed to connect as one, and each person's strength surged significantly in an instant.
The Azure Cloud Sunset Formation was a forbidden formation of the Azure Cloud Sect, a formation that exchanged life for power. When Aotian fought against Chen Qiao, it was Niu Geng who was held back by this formation cast by the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. Although the formation was ultimately broken by Niu Geng, it did not diminish its power.
Moreover, those now forming the Azure Cloud Sunset Formation were countless times stronger than those who had previously held back Niu Geng. Therefore, if Dao Lengtian wanted to use the Azure Cloud Sunset Formation to slay Aotian, it was not mere talk.
“To avoid any accidents, I will personally oversee the operation of the formation!” Dao Lengtian declared coldly.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Lin nodded and then formed a seal identical to that of the other disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect. Instantly, his aura connected with those of the other disciples.
Dao Lengtian saw this and immediately plunged his large blade into the ground. His hands continuously formed intricate seals, and then he shouted:
“Azure Cloud Sunset Formation, Sunset at the Mountain Top!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the disciples of Azure Cloud Sect seemed to reach a tacit understanding and simultaneously turned their gazes toward Dao Lengtian, pouring their immense power into his body.
Suddenly, Dao Lengtian's robes billowed without wind, and a tremendous aura surged forth from within him. This aura was incredibly powerful, hinting at something beyond the Human Spirit Realm...
“Azure Cloud Sunset Blade!”
Dao Lengtian pointed at Aotian and shouted.
In an instant, a green Giant Blade shadow appeared in the air, its tip aimed directly at Aotian.
“Slash!”
As Dao Lengtian's voice fell, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Profound Qi showed signs of agitation, and then the Giant Blade slashed down toward Aotian...
