CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 196 TANG ZHIXIAN’S SHOCK

Within the Cyan Mountain Sect, there is no inheritance of divine techniques like the Purple Sun Celestial Fire.

However, if one were to mention a formidable cultivation technique, the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique would qualify.

Nonetheless, how effective this technique is in actual combat after being cultivated to great success will only be revealed through Lu Zhiwei’s future cultivation progress.

At this moment, the communication from Lu Yuanshan, envying the Purple Sun Celestial Fire of the Celestial Fire Palace, naturally reached Lu Ping’s ears.

"It will come."

Lu Ping’s thoughts at this moment were similar to Lu Yuanshan’s, but he only murmured silently in his heart and did not speak.

As the flying ship descended, landing less than three zhang above Yanzhou Island, it hung in midair.

"Everyone, I’ll be waiting for your triumphant return at the Celestial Fire Palace!"

Zhan Xinghuo cupped his hands, signaling everyone to disembark from the flying ship.

The teams began to take action, some leaping off the flying ship using the Light Body Technique, while others directly soared using Sword Control.

After delivering this batch of cultivators, the flying ship set sail again, swiftly flying out of the Cage Array and disappearing.

Lu Yuanshan soared with his sword, landing on Yanzhou Island, and there came Han Yunsheng’s voice.

"Everyone, according to the Celestial Fire Palace’s arrangement, our main opponents this time are Tier Two Evil Demons."

"We’ll do our best to clear those Tier Two Evil Demons. The Tier One Evil Demons are left to the D-level teams to handle."

The purpose of being sent here, Han Yunsheng was very clear about, not forgetting to remind Lu Yuanshan and the others.

"We will follow Elder Han’s arrangements completely!"

The team, made up of Foundation Establishment disciples from the Luoyun Sect, responded one after another.

Lu Yuanshan also nodded to Han Yunsheng.

"As for those Tier One Evil Demons, it’s not too late to clean them up in large numbers after we’ve cleared out most of the Tier Two Evil Demons."

"One Demon Bead from a Tier Two Evil Demon is worth ten from Tier One Evil Demons. Everyone understands the difference, so I won’t elaborate."

After speaking, Han Yunsheng said no more, turning his gaze to Lu Yuanshan.

"Lu Daoist, be cautious."

This battle also allowed for free action, without the need for a jointly devised array formation to face the enemy, as it hadn’t reached that stage.

Without waiting for Lu Yuanshan’s response, Han Yunsheng summoned the Silver Blade and promptly began fighting two nearby Tier Two Evil Demons.

The other Luoyun Sect disciples also took action, using a variety of magical artifacts including the Golden Saber, Flying Sword, and Gourds.

They were all very busy at the moment.

As an outer sea battleground, Yanzhou Island wasn’t particularly large, with a narrow shape and covering an area of about a hundred li.

The number of Outer Realm Demons swirling here had reached over 3,400, with Tier One Evil Demons making up more than ninety percent.

This occasionally included nearly a hundred Tier Two Outer Realm Demons.

These Outer Realm Demons had all traversed from the Lost Vortex, to the Celestial Fire Forbidden Area, and lastly had wandered through the inner sea of the Sea of Chaos, moving layer by layer.

The Tier Two Evil Demons were indeed the ones that had escaped from the inner sea.

Such a situation was quite common.

For instance, just yesterday, a Tier Four Evil Demon broke through the defenses of the Lost Vortex and ran rampant in the Celestial Fire Forbidden Area, leading to the annihilation of a B-level team and injuring over ten Crystallization Cultivators.

Fortunately, in the end, the Celestial Fire Palace dispatched a Golden Core Ancestor who eliminated the Tier Four Evil Demon in the Celestial Fire Forbidden Area, bringing peace.

This news is still circulating even now.

Upon entering the battleground, Lu Ping observed the surrounding demonic strength, differentiating between Tier One and Tier Two Evil Demons, and began guiding Lu Yuanshan in the battle.

"At the three o’clock direction, to your right, there is an Enchanting Demon."

"The Enchanting Demon excels at casting magic and is skilled in the Enchanting Skill; it is the most troublesome type among all Outer Realm Demon races. Strike swiftly and decisively, avoid prolonged battle."

Having discovered an Enchanting Demon, Lu Yuanshan obediently followed Lu Ping’s guidance, using the Wind Thunder Wings to speed through the air.

With a slight flap, the Wind Thunder Power surged, transforming Lu Yuanshan into a stream of light, reaching the Enchanting Demon in an instant.

The Golden Crow Sword rose in midair, emitting a scorching and sharp sword intent, slashing down toward the Enchanting Demon.

This Enchanting Demon had a humanoid form, with silver scales on its forehead and eyes black as a black hole, which could be entrancing with just one glance.

Many cultivators, new to the scene, easily lost their composure, susceptible to the Enchanting Demon’s allure, plunging into demonic paths, manipulated by the Enchanting Demon to harm their own kind and assist in escapes.

The most typical example was once Wu Xiangwen and Liang Zhennan, two disciples of the Shenxiao Palace.

At this moment, Shenxiao Palace disciples were fighting nearby, the battle was intense, and Lu Ping did not see the figure of Yuan Lang, who had not come to participate.

Facing Lu Yuanshan’s flying sword, the Enchanting Demon remained unflustered, its form suddenly twisted and distorted, like a projected image.

Whoosh!

The Golden Crow Sword slashed down from the Enchanting Demon’s head to foot but did not draw blood, missing its mark.

This was one of the Enchanting Demon’s teleportation techniques; its true form had already teleported elsewhere.

"Behind you, about one zhang away."

"Don’t turn around, slash directly!"

Lu Ping’s voice came through.

Following the command, Lu Yuanshan didn’t turn back, executing the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, forcefully sending the Golden Crow Sword to slash backward.

Whether the Enchanting Demon was truly behind him, he didn’t know, nor did he sense any distinct demonic qi dissipating behind him.

But his father’s words were proof enough.

Under his father’s guidance these days, not once had there been an error—all were precise.

Trusting his father was the right choice.

Poof!

The Enchanting Demon, just teleported behind Lu Yuanshan to launch a sneak attack, was preparing to cast a Cold Ice Spike toward Lu Yuanshan’s back to claim this human’s life.

However, unexpectedly, the opponent, without turning back, suddenly slashed with a sword.

The Enchanting Demon was left bewildered.

How did the opponent detect their presence?

And attack so quickly, accurately, and fiercely?

Faced with this sudden sword strike, the Enchanting Demon had no time to dodge, and was instantly cleaved apart, splattering blood on the ground.

Its power was one layer lower than Lu Yuanshan, and with Lu Ping’s guidance, it naturally stood no chance—Lu Yuanshan could easily slay it.

This scene of Lu Yuanshan slaying the Enchanting Demon was clearly witnessed by Tang Zhixian nearby, causing Tang Zhixian to be taken aback, his mouth slightly agape.

The Tier One and Tier Two Evil Demons are easily distinguished by their appearance and aura.

Any Qi Cultivator who couldn’t discern the strength of a demonic enemy would surely face Tier Two caliber threats.

Witnessing Lu Yuanshan casually slay a Tier Two Evil Demon with a single sword strike, Tang Zhixian was genuinely shocked, unable to speak.

Is this still the gentle, charming, and easygoing Lu Yuanshan of the past?

In just a few years, he had grown this much, capable of slaying a Tier Two Evil Demon alone.

Moreover, seeing the Wind Thunder Wing spread behind Lu Yuanshan’s shoulders, with a robust circulation of Wind Thunder Power, it clearly was a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact.

One Tier Three Spiritual Artifact could be dismissed, but even that black-gold flying sword was actually a Tier Three Spiritual Artifact!
