Chapter 522: Out Cannot Come

Chapter 520

On the churning surface of the ocean, countless Sword Cometh Peak disciples struggled. However, after the initial panic, more and more individuals began to calm down. They sat cross-legged, starting to test how they could break free from the barrier.

Even powerful figures like Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu, and Baili Che had already begun attacking the barrier. Immediately, space vibrated, continuously sending out ripples.

From the look of it, it seemed they would be able to forcibly break out of the barrier.

And in the sky further away, the scouts from various peaks observed this scene, gradually recovering from their initial shock. They also realized that although this barrier was immense in scale, it had no offensive capability...

"It must be a trapping formation."

"Although it's massive, its power is dispersed because there are too many Sword Cometh Peak disciples. At this rate, Kong Sheng and others will likely be the first to break free."

"It's a pity. Saint Origin Peak has too few people. Even if they attack with full force now, they probably won't be able to eliminate many Sword Cometh Peak disciples."

"Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao are truly not to be underestimated."

The disciples from various peaks whispered among themselves. After the initial shock, they also realized that even if all Sword Cometh Peak disciples were trapped in the barrier, Saint Origin Peak didn't seem to have a way to turn this into an absolute advantage.

As things stood, as soon as Kong Sheng and the others broke free and gathered some elite Sword Cometh Peak disciples, they would be perfectly capable of resisting Saint Origin Peak.

If the delay continued, Saint Origin Peak would inevitably end up being completely eliminated.

However, what puzzled the disciples from various peaks was that the Saint Origin Peak disciples were still standing motionless in mid-air, seemingly having no intention of going down to eliminate any Sword Cometh Peak disciples while they had the chance.

Had Saint Origin Peak gone to such great lengths, lured Sword Cometh Peak disciples here and trapped them, just to see them in a state of distress?

And so, time rapidly passed under the puzzled gazes of the disciples from various peaks.

Bang! Bang!

Just then, within the barrier, several loud thuds suddenly resounded. Then, everyone saw several streaks of light shoot up into the sky, revealing themselves. They were none other than Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu, and Baili Che.

At this moment, the three of them—even Kong Sheng, who usually showed no emotion—had grim expressions on their handsome faces. Clearly, the trapping of Sword Cometh Peak disciples had greatly angered him.

He had been extremely cautious, but who could have imagined that Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao would set up such a massive barrier on the surface of the sea?

When the Saint Origin Peak disciples saw Kong Sheng and the others break free, their expressions changed, and they watched the three with wary eyes.

Kong Sheng took a deep breath, suppressing his anger. He glanced at the trapped Sword Cometh Peak disciples below, then looked at Yaoyao and said, "I never would have thought you had such great skill, able to set up a barrier of this kind."

He had keen insight, understanding how difficult it was to set up a barrier of this scale. Among all the disciples of the Cangxuan Sect, apart from the unfathomable Yaoyao, even Ye Ge would not be able to achieve it.

Yaoyao gave him a cold glance, holding Tun Tun, without saying a word.

"Indeed, Sword Cometh Peak was careless this time. But your barrier seems only capable of trapping, not harming..." Kong Sheng said indifferently, "More and more Sword Cometh Peak disciples will break free soon, and then the situation will return to how it was."

He let out a breath and said, "Saint Origin Peak, you should concede. Otherwise, the enraged Sword Cometh Peak disciples won't let this go easily."

His expression was calm, but everyone could sense the anger in his words. The pressure it exerted made many Saint Origin Peak disciples tremble. Kong Sheng's reputation within the Cangxuan Sect clearly still carried considerable deterrence.

However, Yaoyao stroked the soft fur of Tun Tun in her arms, completely ignoring Kong Sheng's monologue.

"You were just locked in a cage, and you have the audacity to tell us to surrender?" Just then, a laugh rang out. Many gazes then saw a streak of light shoot up from the sea, landing beside Yaoyao.

It was Zhou Yuan, who had previously dived into the sea.

"Zhou Yuan, don't be ungrateful." Baili Che glanced at Zhou Yuan and said indifferently.

"Why don't you try, with just your small number of people, how many of our Sword Cometh Peak disciples you can eliminate in this short time?" Baili Che sneered.

Zhou Yuan glanced at him and smiled, "I think... anyone who can't escape the barrier within five minutes will likely be eliminated."

As soon as he said this, Baili Che immediately burst into laughter. Even Kong Sheng and Zhao Zhu gave him a cold glance.

"Daydreaming." Zhao Zhu sneered.

Zhou Yuan smiled, not saying more. He just looked at the other disciples and commanded, "Everyone, prepare. If any Sword Cometh Peak disciples come out, mark them closely and don't allow them to damage the barrier."

Zhou Tai, Lu Yan, and others nodded upon hearing this. However, there was also a hint of doubt in their eyes, clearly not understanding where Zhou Yuan's confidence came from.

Kong Sheng and the others made no move either. They were watching Yaoyao and Zhou Yuan, preventing them from eliminating other elite Sword Cometh Peak disciples.

Thus, both sides, for a moment, remained completely still.

Time passed. And some elite Sword Cometh Peak disciples also began to break free one after another, then stood behind Kong Sheng and the others, their faces full of rage, glaring at Saint Origin Peak.

The number of those elite disciples was approximately a hundred.

Although their number was not as high as Saint Origin Peak's, their quality was far superior. Overall, the strength of both sides seemed evenly matched.

The disciples from various peaks in the distance were greatly puzzled by this sight, because Sword Cometh Peak disciples were continuously breaking free, and the longer it dragged on, the less advantage Saint Origin Peak would have...

Baili Che looked at the increasing number of elite disciples behind him, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He then leisurely said, "Chief Zhou Yuan, it seems five minutes are up..."

"More and more of our Sword Cometh Peak disciples are getting out."

The other Saint Origin Peak disciples also watched Zhou Yuan with concern.

Zhou Yuan heard this and smiled noncommittally.

The sarcasm on Baili Che's face intensified. Just as he was about to speak, Kong Sheng's expression suddenly changed. He sharply turned his head to look at the distant sea horizon, where the seawater was churning.

Savage roars came from the sea.

Countless enormous figures appeared indistinctly beneath the surface.

Those were aquatic beasts! Countless aquatic beasts!

Kong Sheng's pupils abruptly constricted, and his face became extremely grim at that moment.

"Those aquatic beasts are all heading here!" A voice burst from between his gritted teeth.

The sarcastic expression on Baili Che's face also froze. He watched the aquatic beasts roaring in from all directions, seeing them break through the water, and finally surge into the massive barrier.

The next moment, the panicked screams of countless Sword Cometh Peak disciples reverberated.

Streaks of light shot into the sky, carrying away figures, throwing them out of the Origin Pond.

In barely a minute, over a thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples were eliminated.

At this very moment, whether it was the disciples from various peaks or those from Saint Origin Peak, they all stared at the scene in utter shock...

And Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu, and Baili Che gazed at the churning sea with ashen faces.

No one had expected that at this moment, so many aquatic beasts would appear...

Zhou Yuan looked at the spectacular, churning scene below. He then smiled faintly, clapped his hands, and a leisurely voice drifted out.

"Chief Baili, rest assured, from now on, not a single Sword Cometh Peak disciple inside will be able to get out."
