HSSB788: Time for vengeance to be had

Thanks to having clashed with Yan Zhaoge in the vicinity of the blood pool earlier, Zhuang Chaohui had not been caught by the suction force of the black hole as he had instead risen to the surface of the sea alongside part of the wreckage of the palace.

Even so, he had still nearly been chopped down into the depths of the sea by Yan Zhaoge’s sword, hence toppling within the black hole.

Things were much more tragic for Kang Ping and the others who were currently attempting to charge out from the sea and break free of the devouring force of the black hole.

The devouring force of the black hole turned from illusory to tangible, manifesting as black streams of light which resembled numerous chains as they restricted Kang Ping and the others.

The immense force sought to drag them back into the depths of the sea.

Looking over, Yan Zhaoge saw that the likes of Kang Ping, He Dongcheng, Gu Zhang, Luo Zhiyuan and Gu Hong were all present.

Luo Zhiyuan was holding on with great difficulty with the power of the Sun Moon Wheels, the light of the sun wheel enveloping those of the Radiant Light Sect.

As for the Chief of Copper Men Island, Gongsun Wu, it was only with the help of the North Sea Sword Pavilion’s Gu Hong that he had not immediately been devoured by the black hole.

Amongst them, it was undisputedly Kang Ping who was the strongest.

He even possessed the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword, as he charged at the forefront now.

Beneath the devouring power of the black hole, even the Time Flowing Sword which usually seemed as swift and ephemeral as the flowing of time had slowed now.

Under such tough circumstances, as Kang Ping raised his head and suddenly spotted Yan Zhaoge, he could not stop his expression from changing slightly.

Yan Zhaoge nodded towards Kang Ping, not wasting time on words as he directly hacked outwards!

Black light flickered about the ancient bronze sword, retracted and agglomerated as it was directed straight at the top of Kang Ping’s head.

Kang Ping clenched his teeth as he helplessly brandished the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword to block Yan Zhaoge’s attack.

Yet, his upward momentum instantly halted with this.

The black hole down below was constantly emitting a terrifying suction force. As soon as Kang Ping relaxed in his upwards struggles, he was caught by it once more, finding it hard to extricate himself.

Having obstructed Kang Ping’s path, Yan Zhaoge gazed over in another direction.

Gu Zhang and He Dongcheng, the two other early Immortal Bridge Martial Saints of Shen Lingzi’s lineage, were currently attempting to break free of the restrictive forces of the black hole as well.

He Dongcheng was slightly faster. Yet, soon after Kang Ping, he immediately received a sword from Yan Zhaoge as well.

Although he attempted to evade it, the sword-intent down below which originated from the same source as the Evil Sword Taotie directly led to more black streams of light entangling him from the black hole down below.

Not possessing the Cloud Circulating Heavenly Light Sword, He Dongcheng was naturally left in a much more tragic state than Kang Ping.

Not only was his upward momentum halted, he was even immediately dragged downwards by those black streams of light.

After repelling He Dongcheng with a single sword, Yan Zhaoge did not cease in his attacks.

Replacing a sword with his finger, he tapped a major acupoint on the Northern Ocean Clone’s back.

The Northern Ocean Clone brandished the Evil Sword Taotie, sending Gu Zhang down into the deep abyss with a third sword.

No longer having to wield the Extreme Yang Seal and the Evil Sword Taotie at full power, things had become much more relaxed for Yan Zhaoge now.

He only needed to work together in concert with the power of the carcass of the Taotie down below to prevent Kang Ping and the others from escaping, easily leaving it to the black hole deal with them instead.

Yan Zhaoge chuckled as he turned, his gaze falling on Luo Zhiyuan.

Luo Zhiyuan’s face instantly grew black as a pot’s bottom.

Not waiting for him to speak, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “It is time for vengeance to be had.”

As he smiled, Yan Zhaoge did not stand on ceremony in the least as he simply hacked downwards.

Luo Zhiyuan who had originally only been barely holding on with the help of the sun wheel instantly toppled downwards from Yan Zhaoge’s attack.

Yan Zhaoge’s sword-light changed direction, yet had turned gentler and softer as it swept along Gu Hong and the rest.

The black sword-light turned into a black hole as well, emitting a boundless suction force which diminished the threat of the devouring power down below.

Feeling Yan Zhaoge’s goodwill, Gu Hong pondered slightly before simply dissolving his sword-qi.

He was instantly engulfed entirely by the black hole formed of Yan Zhaoge’s sword-light.

Yan Zhaoge retracted his sword, his sword-light flying back over to him and again manifesting as the black hole from which the figures of Gu Hong and the others flew outwards.

Gu Hong and Gongsun Wu as well as the experts of North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island alongside them all looked on in a stunned daze at the black hole down below.

Seeing this, Luo Zhiyuan and the other Radiant Light Sect marital practitioners all felt blood rushing up through their throats as they very nearly vomited blood at that mental blow.

Gu Hong, Gongsun Wu and the others were all continuously giving Yan Zhaoge their thanks.

“Little Friend Yan, many thanks to you here. Otherwise, if we had been swept into that black hole…” Gu Hong shook his head at this.

Everyone apart from Kang Ping would only have a fifty-fifty chance of escaping alive from this even without Yan Zhaoge blocking their way.

The Chief of Copper Men Island, ‘Three Dragon Avatar’ Gongsun Wu, cupped
