Steady Cultivation: Starting With the Perk “Work Hard, Rest Hard”

Chapter 691: Su Lian's Power

Su Lian extended her small hand, and the Ninety-Nine Flying Blades surged forward with deadly intent, targeting Blackwood.As the Ninety-Nine Flying Blades flew, they formed a chaotic universe of blade qi, completely enveloping Blackwood within it!

Within the entire range of this blade qi chaotic universe, regardless of which corner one was in, all areas simultaneously endured the assault of the flying blades.

Blackwood dodged continuously, but whether he merged into Nothingness or transformed into darkness, he couldn't evade the attacks. Instead, because his defenses fell short, his Nothingness origin suffered severe damage. In just a few breaths, a ten-thousandth of his internal Nothingness origin was severed.

A pitch-black suit of armor materialized on Blackwood's surface, and when the countless flying blades struck again, the damage was reduced by a full nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ten-thousandths!

The damage to his internal origin was greatly diminished.

Yet Blackwood wasn't happy, because the range of the blade qi universe had begun to shrink rapidly, and the power of the blade qi attacks was slowly increasing!

"This is a special Dominator Artifact that combines attack, sealing, formation, and domain-type Dominator Artifacts in one!"

Blackwood immediately recognized the formidable nature of those Ninety-Nine Flying Blades.

He deduced in an instant that his death would come in fifty breaths. The further it went, the more terrifying the damage from these blade qi attacks would become.

He had to find a flaw in the blade qi chaotic universe within that time and break out.

But that was clearly too difficult. This chaotic universe was constructed extremely stably, and flaws were hard to find in such a short time.

Blackwood panicked and immediately contacted teammates from the surrounding battlefield.

"Come save me! Urgent! A death sentence! Time is forty breaths! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

Blackwood sent the message frantically.

Behind the Scavenger army besieging Qingfeng City, some Seventy-first-order Nothingness Dominators looked toward Blackwood's direction in surprise.

Why had Blackwood sent such an urgent plea for help?

There should be no Seventy-second-order beings left in Qingfeng City.

Several nearby Nothingness Dominators heard the call for help and rushed over immediately.

Blackwood received their replies and let out a sigh of relief.

"You're done for!"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind Blackwood.

Blackwood's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized he had overlooked a problem: the Ninety-Nine Flying Blades were only one form of attack for the little girl, and she herself could also launch attacks!

But whether he realized it or not, it was already too late.

A blade tip viciously pierced through Blackwood's body from behind, striking his will itself!

His will, that of a terrifyingly powerful Nothingness Dominator, was immediately plunged into darkness under that single strike.

Darkness had always been Blackwood's Dao, and his consciousness was ultimately swallowed by the darkness, becoming part of it. It could be said he died a fitting death.

After Su Lian thrust her blade, she instantly retreated far away, guarding against Blackwood's dying counterattack.

But her worry was unnecessary. After she left, Blackwood's body was sliced into countless fragments by the blade qi, then merged into the blade qi, becoming part of the flying blades' origin.

One could see that all Ninety-Nine Flying Blades had noticeably strengthened by a trace.

Seeing this, Su Lian withdrew her flying blades, then her body flickered and vanished instantly.

The people on the city wall hadn't even noticed the appearance of Blackwood and Su Lian, and their exchange had passed without a ripple.

Su Lian had killed Blackwood too easily; not even a wisp of battle aftermath had leaked out.

In fact, Blackwood's fall had been so swift that even the Scavenger army hadn't noticed anything unusual, continuing their assault as before.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The combined Chaos Torrent from the Chaos Dominators finally barely managed to offset the coordinated attack of the trillion Scavengers.

Both sides immediately fell into a protracted stalemate.

After a full ten-plus breaths, a Seventy-first-order Chaos Dominator finally arrived.

But by the time he got there, he could no longer sense even a trace of Blackwood's presence.

He quickly sent a message, but received no response from Blackwood.

"He fell that fast?"

The man's expression changed, and then, as he thought of something, his face shifted again.

He immediately wanted to flee, but was stunned to find himself trapped within a blade qi chaotic universe.

Endless blade qi formed a chaos; blade qi was the primary existence here. Some blade qi even seemed to have developed intelligence, constantly devouring other blade qi to strengthen itself.

The unique blade qi universe caused the newcomer's face to darken.

He immediately felt the erosion of the blade qi. Each blade qi was cutting away at his origin, and here, a Nothingness Dominator had no chance of winning.

"I have a domain-type Nothingness Dominator Artifact too!"

The man sacrificed a gourd, which spewed out a massive amount of flames, condensing a flame Nothingness universe around him.

The vast Nothingness fire formed a powerful barrier, blocking the invasion of the blade qi.

According to his estimation, this Nothingness universe domain could buy enough time for others to arrive.

However, he had overestimated himself.

Countless blade qi slammed into the barrier of the flame Nothingness universe, easily finding flaws in the flame chaos. The blade qi rushed through the gaps into the flame Nothingness universe, wreaking havoc.

In just three breaths, the Nothingness Dominator's deployed flame Nothingness universe was riddled with holes.

"Who is it!"

The man shouted sharply. Until now, he still hadn't discovered who had attacked him.

But Su Lian had no intention of answering him.

Battles between Dominators typically had two states: either they ended in a short time, possibly just a few breaths, or they dragged on for long periods, long enough to be measured in Immeasurable Kalpas.

And Su Lian intended to finish off this isolated guy in just a few breaths.

Between the Seventy-second and Seventy-first orders, seemingly only a single order apart, the difference in strength could be a hundredfold or even a thousandfold!

Moreover, Su Lian was considered naturally powerful even among Seventy-second-order Dominators, so the gap between her and this Nothingness Dominator was extremely exaggerated.

As the blade qi universe continuously compressed, the flame Nothingness universe collapsed rapidly.

The disparity was clearly visible.

This Nothingness Dominator immediately sent out the most urgent plea for help.

[Come save me! Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!]

His message was brief, but it made the other supporting Nothingness Dominators who received it suddenly suspicious.

They could no longer contact Blackwood! It seemed Blackwood had completely disappeared.

What on earth had happened in this short time?

There was no time in Nothingness, but because of the Second Frontline's city walls, the time flow near the battlefield was synchronized with that of the walled area.

So the time of the incident wasn't isolated but synchronized with the entire battlefield. With such a short time, and Blackwood gone without a trace, there was only one possibility: Blackwood was dead.

Soon, the supporters found that the first Nothingness Dominator to arrive had also lost contact, seemingly gone as well.

At that point, the supporting Nothingness Dominators all chickened out, quickly concealing themselves and daring not to go near City Wall 77 anymore.
