Chapter 509: Chapter 504: Great Misfortune

Upon entering the Mo Sea, Baili An immediately saw Su Jing, tightly bound by the Demon Vine in the depths of the deep sea.

Her Emotion Slayer Sword was completely wrapped in vines and couldn’t be unsheathed, while the endlessly entwining vines on her body dragged her deeper into the abyss.

The corpse demon, able to see in the dark, could now only make out a vastly dark shadow at the bottom of the deep sea.

The giant shadow looked despairingly immense, as if a contiguous mountain and ocean were sinking further into the depths, its edges beyond sight.

This was indeed the true form of the sea demon.

Bound to the sea floor due to aging through an immensely long life, the sea demon could no longer move freely, only able to hunt through its vines.

If one was pulled into its feeding range, it would mean certain doom.

Yin Baishuang parted the seawater with the Han Zhi Sword Qi. The Sword Qi fell onto the endless vines beneath Su Jing and instantly covered them with a layer of light frost.

The frost was very faint, yet it noticeably slowed down the speed of the dragging vines.

Baili An quickly caught up with her.

As Baili An swiftly drew his small sword and struck fiercely, he realized the vines were eerily absorbing the essence from his small sword, growing even tougher and stronger.

In the pitch-black seafloor, Yin Baishuang’s visibility was limited, and she couldn’t see the details of Baili An’s small sword, but she could feel the sinister energy within it.

She urgently transmitted her message, emphatically saying, “Sea demons feed on evil energy, don’t use this evil sword! Take the Emotion Slayer!”

Han Zhi Sword Qi sliced open the vines wrapped around the Emotion Slayer Sword, and Baili An quickly grabbed it and drew the sword.

Hissing sounds immediately emerged as the palm of his hand touched the sword handle, issuing an intense burning noise.

A sharp, piercing pain traveled from Baili An’s palm into his bones.

The Emotion Slayer Sword was a divine weapon of the heavens and earth, authorized to kill, supremely righteous and dominating, a nemesis to all demons.

Usually, it wasn’t noticeable with the sword sheathed, its Sword Qi concealed. Now that he, being a corpse demon, forcibly drew the sword, the silent Sword Qi violently erupted.

This sword had been nurtured by Su Jing for years with Dao Fire, which could purify demons and evil spirits.

Baili An’s right hand turned visibly scorched and cracked at a rapid pace, making Yin Baishuang extremely alarmed since she had just realized how intensely sensitive the Emotion Slayer’s Sword Qi was to the corpse demon’s body.

She was about to advise him to sheathe the sword, but Baili An had already swiftly drawn the Emotion Slayer Sword. The Sword Qi, rich with pure Dao Fire, emitted a bright flare in the Mo Sea, but the peculiar seawater here slowly engulfed and extinguished the sword fire.

When the sword struck the vines on Su Jing, the flames were nearly extinguished, only able to cut through the surface layer of the vines.

Despite striking rapidly with ten slashes, these still weren’t as effective as a single strike from Yin Baishuang’s Han Zhi Sword.

Utilizing the Emotion Slayer Sword extremely drained Spiritual Power. Baili An, not being the rightful owner of the sword and due to his corpse demon body clashing with the sword’s energy, couldn’t even unleash one-thousandth of its power.

He could only rely on the minuscule effect of the Divine Weapon to sever the vines.

Yin Baishuang immediately transmitted a message, “Don’t waste your effort, the Emotion Slayer is an ancient demon-slaying divine weapon, its Sword Qi will disassemble and purify your body piece by piece.”

For demons, the Emotion Slayer was nothing less than a deadly sword.

Baili An couldn’t rely on his Venerable Immortal Bone inside his body to suppress this situation; that bone, lost in the belly of a dragon for countless years, still kept the characteristics of the immortal bone, but for reasons unknown, was tainted by demonic nature, turning it pitch black over time.

The Emotion Slayer Sword was driven by the corrupted aura of that fallen Venerable Immortal Bone, violently ringing in resistance.

Meanwhile, the sea demon at the bottom of the sea sensed these two intruders disrupting its feeding, suddenly opening its mouth as vast as an abyss and emitted a thunderous roar, throwing out more vines and tendrils from its gaping maw.

They spread like a heavenly net in all four directions.

The situation turned increasingly perilous. The vine cocoon wrapping Su Jing briefly burst with an intense blaze, yet the encompassing vines continued multiplying, and seemed to even possess a unique ability to isolate Spiritual Power.

Breaking out from inside the vine cocoon seemed virtually impossible.

Blood and flesh were muddled in the palm of Baili An, with glimpses of white bone visible.

Upon contact with bones, the Emotion Slayer’s Sword Qi turned even more rampant and uncontrollable, making it difficult for him to wield.

Baili An had no choice but to sheathe the sword. Even though only a divine weapon could sever the sea demon’s vines, the Emotion Slayer Sword was genuinely beyond his control.

However, he knew there was a third divine weapon here.

Although in Baili An’s memory, every battle fought by Yin Baishuang was with the Han Zhi Sword hanging at her waist.

Yet she never parted with two swords.

The one she carried on her back.

Baili An had never known what her second sword looked like because it was tightly wrapped in black cloth, concealed from view.

The cloth was mundane, of the mortal world, yet couldn’t hide the extraordinary aura of the sword beneath.

Without hesitation, Baili An transmitted a message, “Miss Yin, may I borrow the sword on your back?”

Focused on battling the vines from all directions, Yin Baishuang’s expression suddenly turned frosty and horrifying as she said, “What did you say!”

At that moment, Baili An felt her icy killing intent directed toward him.

He wasn’t sure what he had said wrong, but with the urgency of saving someone, he couldn’t care less whether she was furious, “Miss Yin, I need to borrow that sword!”

Once the message ended, a sudden spike in pressing force surrounded Baili An!

An icy murderous intent!

The seawater swirled up a Gale, fiercely cold and sharp, originating from the Han Zhi Sword.

And its target was Baili An.

This Miss Yin, acting insanely at will regardless of the situation, seeing that the sword strike was unavoidable and bound to cause severe injury.

It might or might not have been luck, but the enraged Yin Baishuang, clearly a bit irrational, got distracted, giving the sea demon a chance to exploit an opening. A vine, like a silent poisonous snake in the water, swiftly coiled around her wrist, veering her movement slightly.

The icy Sword Qi brushed past, slicing open a long and terrifying water trace.

Baili An was somewhat speechless.

Well, now things had turned out well.

Not only had Su Jing not been rescued, but Miss Yin had also been entangled by the endless vines.

Baili An swiftly followed suit, summoning the Autumnwater Sword just in time to flick her back-carried sword into flight.

Watching the sword fly away, shock and awe seemed to tear through Yin Baishuang’s eyes, her fingers spasmodically tightening around the vine, an unprecedented rage consuming her.

“This sword is not for you to use, don’t touch this sword!” Her transmission suddenly rose high with a tremble, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

She couldn’t tolerate anyone touching this sword.

Even though she had sealed the sword with her blood for over two hundred years, no one in the world could draw the sword, not even herself.

It was a sword that had attained spirit due to a pact and also vowed never to be unsheathed because of that pact.
