Chaotic Sword God

Seeing how the Rain Abbess’ attack had failed to get through his defences and had instead made the light around him become even more powerful, Gongsun Zhi immediately calmed down. At that moment, he suddenly felt like the Rain Abbess was not as terrifying as he imagined her to be.

“Hahahaha, Rain Abbess, you aren’t weak, but your strength still isn’t enough before my defences. If you have the ability, try to get through them.” Gongsun Zhi laughed aloud. The strengthening of the protective light had made him extremely confident. He became even more confident that the protective light would not fall no matter who he faced.

Once his life was no longer threatened, his fear and dread towards the Rain Abbess directly plummeted until it completely vanished.

“Rain Abbess, you better save your efforts. You can’t get through my defences with your current strength. If you leave right now and avoid interfering in my grievances with the Martial Soul lineage, I can forget about your offending actions today. Otherwise, you will become my greatest enemy besides the Martial Soul lineage. I’ll definitely pay a visit to your whatever Cloudsurge Empire with the other protectors of the Radiant Saint Hall some other time,” Gongsun Zhi said in high spirits. He spoke extremely arrogantly, directly threatening the Rain Abbess.

Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi’s faces completely darkened after they heard Gongsun Zhi’s words. They both cursed at how ignorant he was, even daring to threaten an expert like the Rain Abbess.

Every single expert on the level of the Rain Abbess was revered and well-respected. It would be best to avoid provoking them. Even if there were some minor disagreements, Xu Zhiping and Huangfu Guiyi believed that they should just endure it. Even if they could not endure it, they could not afford to offend the Rain Abbess completely unless they had sufficient strength.

In particular, they were currently trapped in the Rain Abbess’ formation. If they completely offended her, a good fate would definitely not await them.

So much for Gongsun Zhi. With a single threat, he directly made the Rain Abbess a complete enemy.

If they still had a chance to reconcile with the Rain Abbess earlier, that chance had been completely wiped out by Gongsun Zhi now.

“How is Gongsun Zhi so stupid? Isn’t he just looking for trouble?” Huangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping communicated secretly. They had already begun to resent Gongsun Zhi. He was under the protection of the protector sword, so the Rain Abbess would struggle to harm him, but what about the two of them?

They were unable to bear the Rain Abbess’ wrath.

If it were not for the temptation of the three remaining protector swords of the Radiant Saint Hall, they would have never been willing to come looking for trouble with Gongsun Zhi.

“Even a mere Godking dares to threaten me. Impressive! Very impressive!” The Rain Abbess’ voice rang out extremely coldly.

With that, the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood suddenly jolted. The thick clouds that formed a prison at the boundary suddenly began to surge, causing the entire formation to rapidly shrink.

As the formation shrank, everyone could sense the might of the formation increase.

Afterwards, a tremendous power erupted from the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood. Just like a tidal wave, it swept through the entire space within the formation. In the end, a swathe of raindrops formed there.

Every droplet of rain possessed pure laws of the world.

Every droplet of rain possessed astonishing energy pulses.

Afterwards, the droplets of rain gathered in from all directions, surrounding Gongsun Zhi with surging energy.

In an instant, Gongsun Zhi became enveloped by a huge ball condensed from countless droplets of rain. The earth-shaking power and pure laws of the world pressed against Gongsun Zhi’s protective light like maggots, gnawing away at it bit by bit.

The Rain Abbess’s actions were very simple. Since she could not destroy it, she would wear it down bit by bit.

Immediately, the protective light around Gongsun Zhi was rapidly compressed. In particular, the outer layer was slowly being gnawed away.

Although the process was very slow, his defences were indeed vanishing.

Gongsun Zhi could not laugh anymore. His expression changed once again, and an ill omen rose up from his heart.

He had already been firmly entrapped by the Rain Abbess. He could not move. He could only endure it all with the defences of the protector sword. There was nothing else he could do.

“Huangfu Guiyi, Xu Zhiping, what’re you waiting for? Hurry up and do something!” Gongsun Zhi called out.

However, Huangfu Guiyi and Xu Zhiping acted like they had heard nothing. They did nothing. They felt completely powerless before the Rain Abbess’ strength. They no longer had any will to fight.

They understood that if they kept fighting, the fate that awaited the two of them was death.

As a result, even when they knew that the situation was against Gongsun Zhi, they did not try to do anything.

They were still slightly hopeful, hopeful that the Rain Abbess would spare them.

As for Sha Yun, he just twitched about while drifting through outer space after being heavily injured by the bolt of lightning. He had not recovered.

At the same time, on the most sacred Star Brilliance Mountain that represented the glory and honor of the Star Brilliance Plane, a middle-aged man in robes riddled with stars sat within a secret room, seemingly cultivating.

He was the renowned Nine Brilliance Star Lord.

Suddenly, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord slowly opened his eyes. Countless stars seemed to revolve in his eyes, shining with starlight.

“I anticipated the betrayal of the native organizations on the Cloud Plane. I also anticipated how the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance would not miss out on this fantastic opportunity, as well as how Gongsun Zhi would take action. However, I never, ever considered the possibility of the Rain Abbess killing her way over from the Delight Plane.”

“What puzzles me is why would the Rain Abbess assist Jian Chen, or should I say the Martial Soul lineage? According to my understanding, she doesn’t seem to have any connections to the Martial Soul lineage or Jian Chen at all. Is there another side to the story?”

“However, her appearance has rendered my plans null. As a result, I have to find a way to keep her busy. Once the Rain Abbess is removed from the equation, just Gongsun Zhi’s group will be enough to kill Jian Chen. Perhaps Yao’er can survive.”

The Nine Brilliance Star Lord muttered to himself. Afterwards, with a flip of his hand, a communication jade talisman appeared. “Blue Sky, aren’t you lacking the main material for your high quality god artifact, the Watercloud Iron? The Rain Abbess just happens to have a piece of it.”

After sending the message, the Nine Brilliance Star Lord stowed the jade talisman away and said to himself, “With Blue Sky taking part, the Rain Abbess will be completely busy. Now, there shouldn’t be any unexpected changes to the situation. Moreover, I only sent a single piece of information to Blue Sky to target the Rain Abbess. It has nothing to do with Jian Chen.”

“However, I still can’t get too involved. If I do leave behind some kind of trace and the Anatta Grand Exalt catches it, I’ll be in trouble. Severing a person’s way will lead to unforgivable grievances.”
