Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 172: The Determination to Perish in Battle, No Regard for Life!

Gazing at the six to seven hundred demonic cultivators below, Zhong Cang knew that his consecutive victories had made him careless.

If he had activated Heavenly Heart or Sword Heart to observe the town before entering, he would not have fallen into the trap so easily.

The only thing he was grateful for was that although he was dominant in the overall direction, he did not ignore the opinions of those below.

Therefore, during the march, the more cautious Cloud Firmament Sect personnel had been sending scouts to investigate the surroundings.

In the Xuan Yuan Realm, Cloud Firmament Sect had also been continuously dispatching intelligence personnel, even undercover agents, to gather information.

Fearful of their cover being blown, the demonic sect had been very cautious in setting up the trap.

This time, they had only gathered six to seven hundred people instead of pressing thousands of demonic cultivators into battle.

This also meant that Zhong Cang had a chance to fight.

...

Trapped in a deadly situation, Zhong Cang felt no fear.

With the momentum of charging forward, there was no retreat. The determination to perish in battle left no room for survival!

Being in dire straits actually ignited Zhong Cang's fighting spirit and will, making his divine sense and Sword Heart extremely focused.

"Hoo..."

As he slowly exhaled, the human emotions in Zhong Cang's eyes gradually faded, leaving only a sharp Sword Intent.

He was prepared for a fight to the death.

On the other side, with the Seven Stars Guiding Moon Formation trapping Zhong Cang and seven hundred against one, the opposition felt that they had a great advantage.

Therefore, while maliciously staring at Zhong Cang, someone also spoke up, attempting to persuade him to surrender.

The first to speak was another candidate Saint Child from the Blood Sea Sect.

The one with the highest sincerity was a woman from the Demon Sect.

The former ordered Zhong Cang to become his blood slave, while the latter wanted Zhong Cang to become her Dao companion.

"Kneel down and submit to me, beg me to take you as my blood slave. Hahaha... If you make me happy, this lord might spare your life, you bastard."

"Hehe, Brother Zhong Cang, don't glare at me so fiercely, I'll be scared. Also, Brother Cang, you still have a chance at survival. If you're willing to surrender and join our Yin Yang Joyous Union Sect, I'm willing to become your Dao companion. Let's compete together for the position of Saint Child in the Yin Yang Joyous Union Sect."

Ignoring the latter's recruitment, Zhong Cang looked at the Blood Sea Sect candidate Saint Child who was arrogantly laughing and giving alms, his voice cold and chilling as if rising from hell.

"You actually want me to become your blood slave, heh, you really aren't afraid of death."

"Hahaha..."

This statement seemed to hit the laughing point of the candidate Saint Child in front of him, causing him to laugh uncontrollably.

No, it wasn't just him, the seven hundred demonic cultivators below were all laughing because of Zhong Cang's words.

After a while, someone finally stopped laughing and disdainfully said, "You bastard, open your dog eyes wide and take a good look. Right now, we have the advantage, and it's you who will die."

Hearing this, to the surprise of the demonic cultivators, Zhong Cang did not refute.

He nodded indifferently and said, "Indeed, with such a trap, my chances of survival are slim."

"Hmm?"

"Huh?"

"You actually admit it?"

After saying that he would die, before the group of demonic cultivators could recover from their astonishment, Zhong Cang's cold gaze fell upon the Blood Sea Sect's newly arrived candidate Saint Child, Xing Ren.

The sharp gaze made Xing Ren feel a bone-chilling coldness.

If it were any other time, feeling such pressure, he would evade, but at this moment, he only felt offended.

"You bastard..."

He wanted to use angry words to cover up the slight panic that had just risen within him.

However, before his furious words could be finished, Zhong Cang's next sentence made his body and mind feel as if they were being invaded by snow water, and the bone-chilling coldness made his heart skip a beat.

"I will indeed die, but what about all of you, especially you? Have you prepared yourself to accompany me to the Yellow Springs?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xing Ren, who was targeted by Zhong Cang, couldn't help but inhale a cold breath and took two steps back.

At this moment, he finally realized with a tingling scalp that Zhong Cang was not weak. Even if seven hundred people besieged him, killing him would still require a hefty price.

And if he was targeted by him and attacked relentlessly, there was a possibility of his own death.

Although focusing on killing one person would make it easier for Zhong Cang to be struck and reduce the overall losses of the demonic sect's attack on Zhong Cang.

But who cared about these things!

As a candidate Saint Child, Xing Ren possessed the excellent virtue of the demonic sect - plucking a hair to benefit the world, not caring about oneself.

Or rather, it is better to let me bear the burden of the world than to let the world bear me.

To sacrifice oneself for the benefit of the demonic sect - anyone who had such thoughts would die and be cursed as an idiot, a fool.

Xing Ren was naturally not a foolish person. What he wanted most was for Zhong Cang and the rest of the demonic sect to perish together in the upcoming battle. In this way, he would eliminate the enemy and not have anyone competing for resources with him.

To sacrifice oneself, this was absolutely not acceptable.

...

In an instant, Xing Ren thought of many things.

At the same time, he regretted his foul mouth just now.

Afraid of being targeted by Zhong Cang, he immediately retreated into the team, hoping not to attract Zhong Cang's attention.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Clang!"

With the sound of a melodious sword cry, the astral projection of a long sword appeared in the hearts of everyone in the city in an instant.

"Hiss!"

The Soul-Cutting Sword of the Heart, at the first moment, Zhong Cang locked onto Xing Ren, allowing the sword of the heart to slash and kill.

"No!!!"

"Attack, attack them all!"

His soul was locked, and Xingren felt a deadly crisis.

Shouting in fear, while desperately blocking, he also gave frantic orders for his subordinates to attack Zhong Cang.

However, the words Zhong Cang had just said, about being willing to die together, not only intimidated the candidate Saint Child Xingren of the Demon Gate, but also frightened ordinary demon cultivators.

They were hesitant to take action - afraid of being targeted by Zhong Cang.

Moreover, because their strength was extremely weak, Zhong Cang could likely kill them with just one sword. This made them even more fearful of Zhong Cang than Xingren.

As a result, when the attack order launched by the candidate Saint Child Xingren was given, there was no response at all.

"..."

Silence filled the city of Chongzhong at this moment.

Seven hundred people surrounded Zhong Cang, but he alone managed to intimidate them. This scene was something that no one had expected.

It wasn't until a few breaths later that an uncertain voice sounded from all directions.

"Don't be afraid, let's attack together... Ah!"

That cultivator tried to incite others to attack through illusionary sound while hiding himself.

However, due to the fluctuations in Sword Heart that affected all things, the cultivator couldn't hide just by wanting to hide.

From the sound and spiritual fluctuations, Zhong Cang easily found the person's location, and what happened next was simple.

With a thought, the Sword of the Mind that had been in Xingren's consciousness instantly appeared in the soul of the person who was inciting.

With a single slash of the mind sword, that person's soul was annihilated.

After killing him and not giving Xingren a chance to catch his breath, the sword shadow turned and reappeared in his consciousness.

The mental confrontation, or rather, the crushing, began again.

...

The insolent candidate Saint Child was severely injured and on the verge of death, unable to withstand any more.

The one who was about to incite everyone to take action was silently killed before finishing his words.

With Zhong Cang's two moves, the demon cultivators confirmed one thing - whether they could kill Zhong Cang today was uncertain.

But with the characteristic of the mind sword that could sever souls, whoever made the first move would definitely die.

And this made the demon cultivators even more fearful of Zhong Cang, and they no longer had the idea of taking the initiative.

Once again, the saying held true - selfishness and self-interest are the traditional virtues of the Demon Gate.

...

Because of Zhong Cang's dominance and the selfishness of the demon cultivators.

The situation seemed to be at a stalemate. If it really continued like this, Zhong Cang would be able to laugh himself to death.

And the reputation of the Demon Sect will be completely ruined.

There's no other way. When the trap succeeds, in order to better strike the morale of the Cloud Firmament Sect and make the influential families join them.

The ruler of the Demon Sect in the Xuan Yuan Realm, through some special Law Weapons, projected what happened here onto the sky of dozens of cities.

They want the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect and the influential families to see how Zhong Cang was killed.

They even want to capture Zhong Cang and torture him in various ways, so that others dare not resist.

However, things did not develop as they expected.

Zhong Cang actually intimidated the rest of them in a one against seven hundred fight, which was something they never expected.

In the end, it was discovered that the disciples of the Demon Sect were unreliable. A Foundation Building cultivator couldn't help but step out of the formation and scolded the disciples of the Demon Sect with a stern face.

"Attack! Those who haven't launched an attack within three breaths, get ready to go to the Myriad Demon Cave."

"Boom..."

As soon as the words "Myriad Demon Cave" were spoken, fear appeared on the faces of the cultivators of the Demon Sect.

Then, spells filled the sky like a storm and smashed towards Zhong Cang.

Because there were too many spells, all four sides of Zhong Cang seemed to be surrounded by spells.

This scene made the Foundation Building cultivators of the Demon Sect breathe a sigh of relief, but a sharp light suddenly flashed in Zhong Cang's eyes.

Then, with a cold gleam in his eyes, he didn't retreat, but instead used the Dragon Fish and drove the fierce wind to charge towards the place with the most people.

"Slash!"

The sword energy arrived before the person.

"I swear here that I will not allow any existence in the world that I cannot cut. This sword is an invincible blade that can cut through all matter and spells..."

While making the oath and self-hypnosis, Zhong Cang's sword energy also had the ability to cut through everything.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The flying swords danced wildly, and the sword energy shot out. With the characteristic of the Heart Sword that could cut through everything, most of the spells in front of Zhong Cang were instantly shattered.

Then, driving the fierce wind, he rushed out from the gaps in the shattered spells and quickly plunged into the group of Demon Sect cultivators.

Because he was too fast with his understanding of the meaning of the flowing wind, the spells from the other directions only just landed where Zhong Cang had originally stood.

When he reached the group of Demon Sect cultivators, Zhong Cang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

--The reason why he didn't escape but instead took the initiative to charge in was not because Zhong Cang was seeking death.

It's because reality is not a game, and the spells of friendly forces also have an impact on the disciples of the Demon Sect.

If he stayed outside the formation, Zhong Cang would have to face this overwhelming spell attack.

Under such immense pressure, even though Zhong Cang was incredibly powerful, he didn't have the confidence to directly confront these seven hundred demon cultivators.

But if he mixed in with the demon cultivators, things would be different.

Being mixed in with the demon sect cultivators made the outer demon cultivators somewhat wary... well, they weren't really wary.
