Chapter 6235: Set Fire

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A great wind swept through, carrying the pungent smell of something burnt.

“Quick, follow me in!”

The flames parted, and Dantai, quick on his feet, immediately maneuvered the flying boat through the opening.

Beneath the charred line lay countless corpses.

On both sides, the swarms of rats kept approaching.

They only retreated half a step when encountering divine fire, but then they moved forward again.

It seemed as if they were not afraid of death at all.

Roar!!!

Just as they charged in, an angry roar came from deep within.

The sound made everyone pause.

“It’s the Rat King, with divine power of at least thirty million!”

Dantai quickly made the assessment.

A single Rat King wasn’t much of a threat; any one of them could easily kill it.

But a Rat King with thirty million divine power could command an enormous swarm of rats.

“Retreat, the divine fire can’t drive them away!”

Someone had already started to lose their nerve. If they charged further, the path behind would disappear, and they would all be consumed.

Dantai gritted his teeth. Although he wanted to save people, he couldn’t lead so many to their deaths.

“Retreat!” In the end, he gritted his teeth and ordered the retreat.

After escaping the rat swarm, Dantai’s face was filled with frustration.

He had earned Xiang Yang’s trust and even staked his life for him for good reason.

At this moment, Dantai’s eyes were fixed on the strong figure sent by the Xiang family for rescue.

A newly promoted Ninth Tribulation Universe Master with divine power of thirty million.

“Brother Dantai, it’s not that I’m not trying, but you saw the situation. I’m really powerless!”

“Hmph, that’s not what I’m saying. Why didn’t the third elder give you any treasures?” Dantai blurted out in his urgency.

“No, absolutely not. Elder Chi only instructed me to rescue Young Master Xiang Yang, without giving me any treasures!”

Dantai’s expression paused, a sneer forming at the corner of his mouth, “Nothing? If he didn’t give you any treasures, would he let you die with Young Master Xiang Yang? Fine, now go back in!”

The words frightened the man, his face turning pale.

Several others, who were close to Xiang Yang, glared at the man menacingly.

They couldn’t vent their anger on Elder Chi.

Although Jian Wushuang appeared calm, he was also curious about the Xiang family’s intentions. They weren’t even rescuing their own people.

If this rat plague was an accident, sending a newly promoted Ninth Tribulation Universe Master for rescue was deliberate.

This had to be either internal family strife or some unknown conspiracy.

It certainly wasn’t just to scheme against an Eighth Tribulation Universe Master. The bigger reason might be the land beneath their feet.

The Twilight Plains.

Where Blood Ling Crystals were born.

A product left behind after the Realm God Continent shattered, very beneficial to cultivators.

There were many places in the Wild Ancient Domain where Blood Ling Crystals could be found, but they were all controlled by large families, making it difficult for outsiders to obtain them without paying a hefty price.

As tensions rose, the outer rat swarm suddenly erupted into chaos.

“Are they launching a full attack?” Dantai’s face showed a hint of despair.

This was truly the end.

They couldn’t get in.

Jian Wushuang looked out, forming a plan in his mind.

He couldn’t act directly, but he hadn’t forgotten.

His divine body was present throughout the entire Wild Ancient Domain.

With a mere thought.

A dazzling light came from the sky, like a meteor streaking across.

The light was incredibly bright, reaching the Twilight Plains in an instant.

This shocked the Zhu family experts guarding the area.

Especially the Universe God, who rushed out immediately.

“Who dares intrude on the Zhu family’s territory?”

The newcomer wore a wooden mask with green patterns and a wide hat, hiding their appearance.

But the divine sword in their hand emanated a blue aura.

“Fellow Daoist, do not be alarmed. I am merely here to save someone!”

The man holding the sword responded calmly, and in a flash, he charged towards the swarm of rats.

The people, who had already given up, were stunned to see a mysterious strong figure arrive.

They watched as the mysterious man with the sword instantly entered the swarm, his divine sword dancing gracefully, its sword intent unfolding. Countless sword shadows slashed through the pillars of rats.

The rat plague, which even Universe Masters and demigods found insurmountable, was vanquished in less than the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

Even the Rat King was beheaded.

“He’s terrifying!” Dantai looked at the figure with admiration and envy.

Wielding a sword, he could cut down everything.

It was the ultimate dream of all sword cultivators!

Crash!

The man with the sword stood proudly in the sky, and countless corpses fell behind him.

The corpses were all severed in two; they were the slain demon rats.

The scene resembled hell.

Everyone gasped in awe.

In the center of the rat swarm was a broken formation.

In the center of the formation stood a young man, looking very disheveled. He composed himself and spoke with a calm demeanor.

“Thank you, senior, for saving my life. Xiang Yang will never forget it!”

This was the trapped Xiang Yang. He never expected a Universe God would come to his rescue.

The formation had previously blocked all communication, so he couldn’t contact Dantai and didn’t know if it was a strong family member who had arranged for this rescuer.

He had never heard of a sword-wielding Universe God in his family.

He was confused, but the fact that he had escaped death filled him with excitement.

This time, he had gained immensely.

Returning to the family would surely bring him great merit, and the Ninth Tribulation realm was within reach.

This was destiny; seizing it would allow him to soar to great heights.

“I did not come to save you but to save him!”

The man with the sword pointed, and a corpse in the center of the formation floated up. His eyes flashed with red light as he looked at the corpse.

At this moment, Dantai and others flew over but did not dare to approach.

Soon after, the Universe God of the Zhu family arrived.

Seeing this scene, he didn’t rush to speak.

After a while, the man with the sword spoke sorrowfully, “I told you not to come, but you insisted!”

He shook his head reluctantly.

In the crowd, Jian Wushuang’s lips curled into a slight smile, admiring his own acting skills.

The man with the sword above was one of his incarnations.

A three-star Universe God.

At the peak of his power, he was nearly a four-star.

He was the strongest incarnation near Huoshen Mountain.

Several other incarnations also began to awaken at this moment.

They had already quietly entered the major cities near Huoshen Mountain.

The chessboard began to move at this moment.

Jian Wushuang’s incarnation, after a moment of silent mourning, collected the corpse, then looked at the Zhu family’s Universe God with an apologetic expression, saying, “Fellow Daoist, I apologize for the disturbance. If there is any punishment, I will accept it.”

Upon hearing this, the Zhu family’s Universe God had no complaints. They were both three-star Universe Gods, and he had given enough face to the other.
