Chapter 975 The Dreamy Swampland

To the Ethereal Spirit Sect, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!

How could the Septuplets of Ethereal Spirit dare to be negligent at this moment?

Although the Dragon-trapping Rope was one of the Ethereal Spirit Sect's trump cards, Eddie was still the number one warrior in the Central Region. This worried them and made them uncertain towards the whole situation. Furthermore, the black mist emitted by Eddie was continuously corroding the Dragon-trapping Rope. If Eddie would successfully destroy the Dragon-trapping Rope, the Ethereal Spirit Sect's plan would fall apart and everything that they had done would be in vain. And they could not afford any of that.

After the Septuplets of Ethereal Spirit formed the Seven-in-one Array, their collective strength had increased considerably. The one leading them had actually already reached the late stage of the Virtual Tribulation Realm.

Then, as the Seven-in-one Array could fuse the powers of the seven of them, they believed that if they were to launch a sword attack, it would definitely take Eddie's life!

Swoosh!

The sword light of the person in the lead of the Septuplets of Ethereal Spirit suddenly erupted and pierced into the black mist.

Everyone looked at the black mist nervously. Because Eddie was trapped by the Dragon-trapping Rope, he could not use his life vitality. Now, if the sword hit him, he would definitely not be able to block it.

As Zen stared at the black fog, a sudden bad premonition arose in his heart. From the day he first stepped into the Central Region, he had already regarded Eddie as his opponent and the biggest obstacle in his path of cultivation. He did not believe that Eddie would be that easily dealt with.

Compared to Zen, however, the others felt very confident. For example, Robin, the head of the Xi Clan, believed that if he could help the Ethereal Spirit Sect get rid of Eddie, the Xi Clan would be famous not only in the Central Region, but throughout the whole world.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Just as the Septuplets of Ethereal Spirit combined their powers to launch a powerful attack, sounds of metal breaking were suddenly heard. Soon after, everyone saw several beams of light shooting out from the black fog.

Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop!

The light beams contained a great amount of power, and they instantly hit the chests of the four people of the Septuplets of Ethereal Spirit. However, the light beams did not stop there—they all pierced through chests of the four people, causing blood to spurt from their chests and backs. The sudden attack created terrifying gaping holes in their chests, and after a few moments, the four people fell from the sky.

It was only then that everyone was able to clearly see that the light beams were actually sword fragments. Not only was the sword attack of the Septuplets of Ethereal Spirit unable to kill Eddie, it had shot back at them after shattering, instantly killing four of them.

"No!"

"Brothe

ie would be better.

If it was anyone else, Zen would just leave alone, believing that Eddie would not cause trouble for others. However, since Margaret possessed the Purple Power Body, she was also someone that Eddie had to obtain. As he thought about it, Zen realized how hard of a decision he was being forced to make.

"Kill you?" Lavender, who was flying alongside Zen, laughed coldly. "Are you not afraid of death anymore?"

Margaret's face revealed a determined look. "In the past, I was very afraid of death. But now I'm not afraid anymore."

Today was indeed a sad day for Margaret. She suddenly felt that she was a fool in everyone's eyes. Although the members of the Xi Clan treated her very well, no one trusted her, not even Brent, who she grew up with.

With that, Margaret had become dejected like never before.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lavender's spear suddenly appeared, and it was pointed to Margaret. Lavender really intended to kill her. The tip of the spear was only inches away from Margaret's forehead. In Lavender's eyes, only by killing her would Zen be able to run away with all his might and successfully evade Eddie. She had wanted to kill Margaret for a long time now.

"Stop," Zen suddenly ordered, his voice devoid of emotion.

"Zen, if she dies, we'll have a better chance of escaping! Think about that!" Lavender said, still aiming at Margaret's forehead.

"I know," replied Zen, staring straight ahead.

"Then why don't you let me kill her?" Lavender asked again. She felt it was unwise to drag a burden like Margaret especially in this kind of situation.

Zen took a deep breath, and forceful energy burst out of him once more, propelling him to run faster. After his speed suddenly increased, Zen said, "I know another way."

After they passed through countless mountains outside Ethereal City, a plain appeared. It was shrouded in clouds and mist. This was the biggest swamp in the Central Region—the Dreamy Swampland.
