I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 802 - 557: Sword Seal, Sudden Upheaval (Part 2)

What concerned him more was Dongfang Mingyue’s dream. If the prophecy was for today, then why did he step into the subspace?

Is there a deeper trap hidden behind this?

Various concerns swirled in his mind, prompting Qin Tian to remain on hold.

With the Judges engaging the enemy head-on, and Robert reaping in the shadows, the battle was already under control. He planned to watch a while longer, waiting for the true plot of the Xieshen Association to surface before making his move.

Just as the battle was stabilizing, a dazzling sword light suddenly illuminated the sky.

It wasn’t the usual pale white Sword Qi, but a blazing brilliance akin to molten gold in the sun, piercing through the thick black clouds, lighting up the entire Cangwu Mountain Peak as if it were day.

A sharp and unparalleled Sword Intent surged down like a tidal wave. Even from thousands of meters away, everyone present felt their bodies stiffen as if entangled in invisible Sword Silk. A fine sting pricked under their skins, as if countless cold swords were hanging above them, ready to pierce through at any moment.

"Roar——!"

A shrill and extreme howl echoed through the heavens and the earth, filled with heart-wrenching pain.

Everyone looked up to see that blazing sword light descend like divine punishment. First, an arm covered in a hard shell was severed from the body, falling heavily onto the white jade floor with a resounding "thud." The floor instantly cracked like a spider web as sticky dark purple blood gushed out, sizzling on the ground and carving out deep pits. Thick black miasma rose from the bloodstains, twisting above the pits as if it were to breed more terrifying monsters from the filth.

Next, the thigh, torso, and neck shattered in succession, and pieces of the dismembered body, laden with immense Evil Energy, fell. Each impact caused a slight tremor on the ground. Where the blood flowed, the vegetation withered instantaneously, the rocks turned to black mud, and the entire mountain peak was shrouded in a pungent scent of decay.

Finally, the head, obscured by a black iron mask, fell with a crash.

A Tier Eight abomination, dismembered so cleanly and decisively!

The Pill Masters stared wide-eyed, mouths slightly open, overwhelmed by indescribable shock.

Although they weren’t skilled in combat, they understood the terror of a Tier Eight powerhouse—a level capable of dominating a region and overlooking most of the Empire’s beings. Yet in Yang Lingfeng’s hands, this abomination, which could contend with someone of the same tier, was utterly defenseless, like fish on a chopping board, easily sliced apart.

Before the others could recover from the shock, Yang Lingfeng descended slowly from the sky like a celestial, his white robe spotless, his aura of Sword Intent still lingering.

He flicked his wrist, and the longsword drew a perfect arc. A myriad of fine strands of Sword Qi burst forth like a gale sweeping leaves, reducing the surviving abominations, whether Tier Six or Seven, to dust with the terrifying Sword Intent contained within the Sword Qi. Even their Souls were annihilated, leaving no trace.

Upon landing, Yang Lingfeng held his longsword, his fingers executing complex sword seals as one after another luminous Sword Imprint appeared in mid-air, precisely landing on the dismembered remains of the abominations.

Where the Sword Imprints fell, the rampant Evil Energy within the remains was instantly suppressed. The sizzling sound of corrosion gradually subsided, and the rising black miasma was tightly sealed by the Sword Imprints. Eventually, it dissipated into wisps of smoke, leaving only the cold remains and dried bloodstains, posing no further threat.

At this point, Cangwu Mountain Peak had been thoroughly cleansed of abominations. The battlefield finally returned to silence, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing and pounding hearts.

The Pill Masters looked at Yang Lingfeng with eyes filled with the utmost awe and reverence.

To behead a Tier Eight abomination with a single stroke, wipe out remaining enemies with a wave of the sword, and seal Evil Energy effortlessly—such prowess was practically mythical.

However, the Judges present remained calm, showing little surprise.

Stone Qingyuan sheathed his Spiritual Long Saber and bowed slightly in Yang Lingfeng’s direction. The other Judges also ceased their actions and began clearing the battlefield in an orderly fashion, as if having slain a Tier Eight abomination was just routine business.

Though Yang Lingfeng rarely made public appearances within the Judgement Court, he was universally recognized as a legendary figure within it.

He was the youngest Black Card Judge, single-handedly wiping out several Evil God bases across the galaxy and having slain countless Evil God Followers. Bestowed with the name "Sword Immortal" by Marshal Lin himself, he stood as a model looked up to by countless members of the Judgement Court.

In their eyes, for someone of Yang Lingfeng’s ability, dealing with such a Tier Eight abomination was only expected.

Yang Lingfeng sheathed his sword, and his white robe fluttered lightly in the mountain wind. The oppressive Sword Intent around him gradually withdrew, dispelling the suffocating pressure. His gaze scanned the battlefield before turning to Stone Qingyuan, his tone serene: "Seal off Cangwu Mountain and tally the casualties and losses."

"Yes!" Stone Qingyuan responded solemnly, immediately turning around to assign tasks.

The Judges quickly divided their tasks and cleared the battlefield with precision. Some wielded specially crafted sealing Jade Boxes and carefully collected the dismembered remains of the abominations.

Particularly the Tier Eight demon’s body parts, each was individually stored in a Jade Box inscribed with purification runes, sealed and reinforced. These remains would be sent to the research department of the Judgement Court to analyze the abomination’s physique and Evil Energy traits, accumulating data for future battles against Evil God Followers.

Another group wielded Spiritual Energy purification talismans, repeatedly burning in areas tainted by the abominations’ blood. The golden glow of the burning talisman papers collided with the lingering Evil Energy, emitting a sizzling sound, thoroughly purging the filthy forces seeping into the ground to prevent the ley lines from being contaminated.
