BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 - 019 Sword Seal
Chapter 54: Chapter 019 Sword Seal
With terrifying strength, the demonic rabbits overturned numerous soldiers with a single swipe and then grabbed and chewed them with their massive claws.
"Help!"
"No!"
"Let me go!"
...
The Green Scarf Army lost all advantage in the face of the monsters, overwhelmed by panic and fleeing in all directions. Many soldiers were trampled to death by their own comrades in the chaos.
"Retreat! Quickly, retreat!" Zhao Kunwu shouted frantically, his eyes bloodshot.
But no matter how fast they moved, they couldn\'t outrun these demonic beasts. If there hadn\'t been so many people, the demonic rabbits would have slaughtered the two thousand soldiers long ago.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
The demonic rabbits fought among themselves for the "carrots," tearing each other apart in a frenzy.
The scene became incredibly chaotic.
The sounds of crying, chewing, impacts, and desperate fleeing created a deafening cacophony.
Not far from Mo Yuxi, a demonic rabbit roared and lunged at them, "Roar!"
The Azure Dragon stepped in front of Mo Yuxi, delivering a powerful punch.
The demonic rabbit was sent flying, rolling several times on the ground.
"Roar!"
The demonic rabbit wasn\'t dead but staggered back up. Its fur had turned pink, and the aura around it grew increasingly malevolent and sinister.
"Roar!"
With a fierce roar, the demonic rabbit charged again, stomping the ground and creating a large crater. Dark miasma swirled around it, giving it an ominous, hellish appearance.
"Azure Dragon Seal!" the Azure Dragon shouted.
He performed a seal gesture, and a burst of blue light erupted from his hand, striking the demonic rabbit with immense force.
The demonic rabbit was again blasted away, its body covered in cracks, but it still did not die. Its fur was stained red with its own blood, and the black miasma thickened into a fog around the rabbit demon.
"Saintess, this creature is getting stronger and more malevolent with each hit!" the Azure Dragon said, concerned.
"You four, hold off the demonic rabbits!" Mo Yuxi commanded sternly.
"Yes!" the Azure Dragon and his three subordinates responded.
"Ding Wugu, you\'re a Feng Shui master. Where is the entrance? Do you sense it?" Mo Yuxi asked, staring intently at Ding Wugu.
Ding Wugu\'s face turned pale.
"I... I sense the entrance is somewhere near the pillar, but it hasn\'t appeared yet. I don\'t know, I... I..." Ding Wugu stammered, panicked.
"What do we do now? There are more and more demonic rabbits!" Yang Zhijiu said, his face grim.
"Ask him, ask that kid!" Ding Wugu suddenly shouted.
At this moment, Ding Wugu was the most panicked, as he was the lowest in cultivation among the group. Any mistake could lead to immediate death.
The Azure Dragon\'s strength was evident to Ding Wugu, yet even the powerful Azure Dragon couldn\'t kill the demonic rabbits. There were thousands of them!
In this moment, even Yan Chuan\'s jealousy was forgotten, and everyone turned their attention to him.
But when they saw Yan Chuan\'s army, everyone was stunned.
"Are these demonic rabbits... going crazy?" Yang Zhijiu asked incredulously.
...
Yan Chuan, observing Ding Wugu\'s terrified expression from afar, showed a hint of disdain.
"A Feng Shui master? This guy isn\'t even fit to carry the shoes of the lowest-ranked Feng Shui master!" Yan Chuan sneered.
Even someone like Yan Chuan, who wasn\'t skilled in Feng Shui, understood how to deal with this formation, while the so-called Feng Shui master was panicking. No wonder Yan Chuan was dismissive.
"Your Highness, why aren\'t these creatures attacking us? Is it because of the rabbit blood on us?" Huo Guang asked, still unsure.
After all, the sight of the Green Scarf Army being eaten alive from a distance was shocking.
Yet these creatures didn\'t dare approach? Why?
"They are demonic rabbits, transformed from white rabbits. They lack the intelligence of true beasts, driven only by instinct—fierce, violent, bloodthirsty, and gluttonous. However, they can also sense the smell of blood on us. It\'s not ordinary blood; it\'s their own. Though you can\'t see it, in the eyes of these demonic rabbits, our blood exudes a strong and threatening aura, intensified by the blood of their fallen kin. Hence, they instinctively fear us and hesitate to advance!" Yan Chuan explained.
"I understand now. The reason His Highness ordered us to kill the rabbits earlier was to prepare for this situation?" Huo Guang said, filled with admiration.
"It\'s fortunate to have His Highness with us!" several of the junior officers sighed in relief.
With this understanding, they felt less afraid. It was a great relief.
Yan Chuan shook his head. "It\'s not that simple. These demonic rabbits aren\'t attacking us now, but if this drags on, some might not be able to resist and come charging at us!"
At this moment, Zhao Kunwu, fleeing in the distance, suddenly froze, his body going rigid.
"This can\'t be!" Zhao Kunwu roared.
Not just Zhao Kunwu, but the Green Scarf Army members fleeing with him all stared wide-eyed in shock.
In the distance, Yan Chuan\'s three thousand soldiers stood calmly, with not a single demonic rabbit attacking them. Why?
Seeing his own Green Scarf Army decimated and Yan Chuan\'s army unscathed, Zhao Kunwu\'s heart burned with an inexplicable resentment.
"Blood? Could it be the rabbit blood?" Zhao Kunwu suddenly realized.
Earlier, Yan Chuan\'s army had been killing rabbits and covering themselves in their blood. Zhao Kunwu had laughed at their madness, only to now understand why. Rabbit blood? It turned out that rabbit blood could deter these monsters.
"That little bastard!" Zhao Kunwu seethed.
"Lord, those monsters are coming after us again! We need to move!" a junior officer urged.
"Monsters?" Zhao Kunwu jolted awake.
Immediately, Zhao Kunwu snapped out of his daze and prepared to flee.
But turning around, he saw nearly a hundred demonic rabbits surrounding them, while his small group numbered just over a hundred.
"Lord, how can we escape?" the junior officer asked in terror.
The Green Scarf soldiers all showed expressions of despair.
"Head to Yan Chuan! Quickly, go there!" Zhao Kunwu commanded urgently.
"Yes!" the group responded immediately.
"Lord, please beg Yan Chuan for help. We are still part of the Yan Kingdom\'s army. He can\'t ignore us!" one of the junior officers urged.
"Alright!" Zhao Kunwu nodded.
They headed toward Yan Chuan\'s direction, pursued relentlessly by the demonic rabbits.
"Your Highness, the rebels are coming!" Liu Jin\'s face changed.
"And they\'ve attracted a large number of demonic rabbits. Your Highness, what should we do?" Huo Guang asked anxiously.
"Rebels who usurp the throne and despise their king deserve to be punished!" Yan Chuan\'s eyes turned cold.
"Yes!" Huo Guang immediately understood Yan Chuan\'s intent.
"Archers, prepare your bows!" Huo Guang ordered with a wave.
"Crack, crack, crack!" Two thousand crossbows aimed at Zhao Kunwu\'s direction.
"Please, no! We surrender!"
"Your Highness, we were wrong! Please save us!"
"Your Highness, Zhao Kunwu admits his mistake. Please show mercy!"
...
The Green Scarf soldiers rushing forward cried out in desperation.
Yan Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed as he shook his head slightly. "It\'s too late!"
"Fire!" Huo Guang commanded.
Arrows rained down like a storm, pummeling Zhao Kunwu and his men. Over two thousand arrows fell like execution orders, striking the Green Scarf soldiers mercilessly.
"Ah!"
"Don\'t!"
...
A volley of arrows turned most of them into human pincushions, riddled with arrows and dying in anger.
But sixteen exceptionally skilled individuals managed to shield themselves with a green glow, narrowly escaping death.
Zhao Kunwu, clutching his pierced left shoulder, looked at Yan Chuan with unrestrained hatred. "Yan Chuan, may you meet a miserable end!"
"Traitorous scum, you get what you deserve!" Yan Chuan sneered.
With red eyes and his scar twitching, Zhao Kunwu growled, "Everyone, let\'s kill Yan Chuan!"
"Yes!" The fifteen surviving officers shouted.
The fifteen charged straight at Yan Chuan.
Yan Chuan stood at the forefront of his three thousand soldiers, the closest to Zhao Kunwu\'s group.
Seeing the desperate charge, Huo Guang\'s expression changed. "Fire the arrows!"
"Protect His Highness!" Liu Jin shouted in alarm.
"Boom!" A new wave of arrows shot towards the fifteen attackers.
Several silver-armored soldiers rushed forward to guard Yan Chuan.
"Your Highness, retreat with me. Zhao Kunwu and his men have gone mad!" Liu Jin urged urgently.
Yan Chuan ignored him. Retreat? Would he let these rabble force him back?
"No!" Zhao Kunwu\'s face changed dramatically. He spun violently.
"Zzz!" Zhao Kunwu dodged Yan Chuan\'s heart-piercing claw, but a large chunk of flesh was still torn from his body.
"Bone-Hand!" As Zhao Kunwu spun, his hand, like a steel claw, pierced through the gaps in his turning body, radiating cold light as it reached towards Yan Chuan\'s face.
"Zhao Family\'s ultimate killing move?" Liu Jin\'s face turned pale from afar.
"Prince!" The silver-armored soldiers cried out anxiously.
The Bone-Hand, the supreme technique of the Zhao Family, was said to be unstoppable below the Essence stage. Zhao Kunwu actually mastered Bone-Hand?
"Whoosh!" The sound of flesh ripping echoed as blood spattered.
The battle between Yan Chuan and Zhao Kunwu abruptly ceased.
Almost everyone suddenly fell silent.
Zhao Kunwu\'s Bone-Hand didn\'t touch Yan Chuan\'s body but only scraped across his shoulder.
Yet Yan Chuan\'s hand had pierced into Zhao Kunwu\'s chest.
"Level Seven Strength Realm? You\'re only at Level Seven Strength Realm? I\'m at Level Nine, but... why, why?" Zhao Kunwu, in his last moments, couldn\'t believe it.
"Your cultivation method is too poor, full of flaws!" Yan Chuan said coldly.
"Crunch!" Yan Chuan\'s hand fiercely crushed Zhao Kunwu\'s heart, blood gushing out.
"No, my Zhao Family\'s Bone-Hand, at Level One Strength Realm. The family head said that no one can break it, there are no flaws!" Zhao Kunwu gasped his last breath.
"But in my eyes, there are flaws everywhere!" Yan Chuan said disdainfully.
"No!" Zhao Kunwu\'s despairing final breath escaped him.
"Bang!" Yan Chuan withdrew his hand from Zhao Kunwu\'s chest.
"Zzz!"
"Zzz!"
"Zzz!"
...
Ten long spears pierced through Zhao Kunwu\'s body.
"Lord!" The green-scarf soldiers screamed.
"Die!" Huo Guang roared, piercing another person.
The blood-armored soldiers surged in, immediately slaughtering the remaining rebels.
"Bang!" Zhao Kunwu and the others\' bodies were discarded.
A horde of demonic rabbits rushed in, quickly tearing the corpses apart, chewing on them.
Although the blood-armored soldiers were unaffected by the demonic rabbits, watching them devour human flesh at close range still churned their stomachs.
...
Not far away, Mo Yuxi\'s subordinates occupied four positions to protect everyone.
A large number of demonic rabbits surrounded them.
These demonic rabbits seemed indestructible. Qinglong\'s repeated attacks only made the demonic rabbits stronger. Even when Qinglong cleaved one in two, the rabbit rejoined and restored itself.
"Mr. Wenruo, these monsters can\'t be killed. What are they?" Qinglong asked anxiously.
If they were beasts, Qinglong would have solved the problem long ago, but these rabbits were impossible to kill.
"Yuanwei Death Rabbits? Related to the Yellow Springs, guiding souls of the dead. As long as the souls aren\'t destroyed, they won\'t die?" Mr. Wenruo frowned.
"Moreover, even if we destroy the rabbit souls, there are countless more!" Mo Yuxi worriedly added.
"What should we do?" Qinglong asked urgently.
"Let\'s get closer to Yan Chuan and ask him!" Mr. Wenruo suggested.
"Understood!" Everyone responded.
The four great experts continuously struck the rabbits away, moving closer to Yan Chuan. The rabbits that were knocked away quickly returned.
As they progressed, the sky was filled with flying demonic rabbits.
Meanwhile, Yan Chuan\'s forces faced a slight crisis.
With the death of the green-scarf soldiers, more and more demonic rabbits swarmed towards Yan Chuan.
"Kakakaka!" The demonic rabbits stared with their eyes wide open, growling constantly.
The demonic rabbits became increasingly agitated, feeling the fear from the bloodlust of the soldiers, suppressing their desire to devour them.
"Kakakaka!"
As the number of rabbits grew to five hundred, some began to stir restlessly.
"Prince, what should we do?" Huo Guang asked with concern.
"Form the Seal, the Immovable King Seal!" Yan Chuan commanded in a deep voice.
"Seal? The Seal?" Huo Guang was momentarily confused, then quickly understood.
He urgently gave the order.
"Crack!" Three thousand soldiers swiftly planted their long spears into the ground.
Their left index and middle fingers extended, thumb pressing down on their pinky and ring fingers, right hand mirrored the gesture, fingers overlapping. The Sword Seal was completed!
Three thousand Sword Seals! Completed!
"Ong!"
The demonic rabbits suddenly fell silent.
The rabbits could see the blood aura forming around the soldiers. Originally, they only saw faint wisps of blood mist, but now the mist had transformed.
"Zzz!"
Suddenly, within the blood mist, three thousand blood-red swords seemed to appear all at once, catalyzing the bloodlust to its extreme.
"Chant the True Words!" Yan Chuan ordered.
His command quickly spread, and soon the entire army understood.
"Nammo Samanta Vajra Virocana!"
"Nammo Samanta Vajra Virocana!"
"Nammo Samanta Vajra Virocana!"
...
Three thousand soldiers chanted the true words, activating the Sword Seal.
In the eyes of the demonic rabbits, the three thousand blood-red swords released sharp bloodlust sword qi, surging like a hurricane towards them.
Although it was merely a mundane activated Seal with limited power, and merely the spectacle was impressive, these demonic rabbits lacked intelligence, driven only by instinct.
The terrifying sword qi seemed like absolute despair, making the rabbits flee in panic.
"Wuwuwu!"
The demonic rabbits fled in terror, colliding into each other in their panic. The scene became chaotic.
This was pure instinct.
The rabbits, though immortal, feared the bloodlust of their own kind being killed, truly dying in large numbers.
The sword qi, resembling a great calamity, drove the rabbits away.
The silver-armored soldiers\' eyes lit up with excitement, understanding that this was not just some grandiose gesture but a genuine celestial technique.
Everyone looked at Yan Chuan with gratitude and awe, memorizing the Immovable King Seal carefully.
"Prince, we succeeded! We really succeeded!" Huo Guang exclaimed excitedly.
The demonic rabbits\' dispersal left everyone astonished.
Yang Zhi Jiu and Ding Wugu had their faces twitching.
Qinglong felt bitter. Despite his prowess, he had struggled with no results, while these common soldiers had made the rabbits retreat?
"Mr. Wenruo, what is this hand seal?" Mo Yuxi asked with bright eyes.
"Buddhist Daoist Seal! Immovable King!" Mr. Wenruo said gravely.
"Immovable King Seal?" Mo Yuxi asked in surprise.
"The Immovable King Seal is easy to learn but hard to master. Moreover, some of the seals are lost, it\'s a partial seal," Mr. Wenruo pondered.
"Partial seal?"
"This seal requires continuous practice and accumulation of years of seal energy. The longer it\'s practiced, the stronger its power. The seal used by these common soldiers, though not powerful, was perfect for the situation, especially with the prior bloodlust. Yan Chuan must be very familiar with the \'Eight Fiendish Yellow Springs\' formation, leading a group of commoners to gradually resolve the crisis," Mr. Wenruo said, frowning.
"Indeed, he\'s well-versed in the formation!" Mo Yuxi said with anticipation.
