The Ancestor of All Demons
Chapter 687 - 566 Blood Demon Slaying the Immortals
CHAPTER 687: 566 BLOOD DEMON SLAYING THE IMMORTALS
The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword was caught in the midst of a million Taiyin Divine Thunder Nets, exploding into shattered sword light and scattered sword energy, plummeting back down from the sky.
During its descent, blood glowed on the blade, and sword energy and sword light regenerated anew, forming a thousand-zhang long Blood Rainbow that blocked the incoming Purple and Blue Double Swords.
In the sky above, Blood God’s Child let out a long howl, accompanied by a growing stench of wind and the beginning of a Blood Rain, with drops the size of beans dripping down, filling the air as they fell.
At this moment, Li Jingxu knew that Shi Feiyang was about to arrive soon. He also figured out that Deng Yin’s return to claim the Demon Sword was unusual and suspected Shi Feiyang had a deeper intention, so he did not make a move.
However, he did not stop the people of the Emei Sect from acting. Seeing the Blood Demon and the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword trying to merge, the Emei Sect believed they absolutely must not let them succeed; otherwise, there would be no way to control them under heaven, so they did everything to prevent it.
The Three Immortals and Two Elders were highly skilled in mana, while the remaining Emei disciples wielded various magical treasures. Their attacks were considerably potent, blocking and separating Deng Yin as he attempted to ascend three times, each time stopped by their casting.
Enraged, Deng Yin commanded the falling raindrops to stretch and morph, each drop turning into a blood-colored figure, searching for members of the Emei Sect and pouncing directly upon them!
"No good!" Li Jingxu and the Three Immortals and Two Elders all cried out, hastily casting spells to block. Thirty-six thousand Qiankun Needles, along with a sky full of Invisible Sword Energy, slashed at the wildly pouncing Blood Shadows.
Fortunately, most Emei disciples had already been eliminated by the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, with the weaker ones all but slain, the remaining grouped together forming a solid wall of sword light and magical treasures, keeping the Blood Shadows at bay.
Deng Yin then seized the moment of chaos to fire a straight beam of light from above—a Blood Shadow Divine Light—encapsulating the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword and first transferring a measure of Essence Blood as a gesture of sincerity.
The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, having absorbed Deng Yin’s Essence Energy-rich blood, surged in ferocity, quickly ascending along the blood-colored beam and reaching Deng Yin’s hand in one swoop.
Catching the sword, Deng Yin felt an immediate blood bond with it, as if he had personally forged the sword, which had been with him for thousands of years, and it rapidly became a part of his body.
He felt his essence blood flow into the sword, and the sword’s Essence Energy pour back into his body, benefiting from each other in an exchange!
Suddenly, Deng Yin had an intense thought: this was naturally tailored for him! Rightfully, it should belong to him! This was the predestined supreme Divine Weapon meant for him!
With this sword, what was there to fear? Even if his senior brother returned to the Lower Realm with the Purple and Blue Double Swords, he would not be afraid!
Holding the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, Deng Yin looked up into the sky, at that moment longing intensely for his senior brother in white, the one with long eyebrows, to descend from the heavens and have an exhilarating battle with him using the Purple and Blue Double Swords!
Overwhelmed with emotion, ambition surged within him as he waved his hands towards the subordinates of the Emei Sect below, unleashing a thousand-zhang long Blood Rainbow sword light that aimed to split the earth in two.
The Emei Sect members defended with Immortal Swords, yet the Blood God’s Child’s sword, bolstered with Demonic Path Skills, proved unmatched. The East Sea Three Immortals’ twenty-seven Invisible Swords were swiftly severed like matchsticks!
Following this, the Seven Cultivation Swords, the Golden Fierce Fire Sword, the Heavenly Dragon Demon Suppressing Sword, and others, all dimmed and scattered in light, only the Purple and Blue Double Swords retained their sharpness, yet were also knocked away.
Deng Yin’s first strike had been blocked by the combined forces of the Emei Sect, and he promptly raised the Demon Sword again, swinging fiercely towards the location of Qi Shuming for a second strike!
This time, Li Jingxu, like a lover defending another, also intervened to help the Emei Sect withstand Deng Yin’s assault. Although strong in mana and his Flying Sword was not weak, it was far less than the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword.
The earlier Emei disciples had not yet recovered, the Seven Cultivation Swords and Heavenly Dragon Demon Suppressing Sword lagged behind, only the Purple and Blue Double Swords flew back and forth to help block this second strike for Li Jingxu.
As a result, the Purple and Blue Double Swords were again knocked away.
The radiance of Li Jingxu’s sword swiftly dimmed; if not for his continuous outpouring of True Qi, pumping in a great deal of Immortal Energy, it would have almost been severed on the spot!
Discovering these people could not withstand his Divine Sword’s strike, Deng Yin inhaled deeply, channeling a vast amount of spiritual energy into the sword. Aiming to invoke the surrounding Gang Sha Qi, he nearly exhausted all his strength to deliver a third strike.
This time, even Ling Hun, Mr. Zhong, and others took action, along with Shi Zhu; nine Xuanyuan Swords also flew up.
The two sides collided once again, clashing violently with countless blood lights and colorful rains, numerous side-sect Independent Immortals’ flying swords and flying knives severed, Mr. Zhong’s flying sword even split into two!
Ling Hun, meanwhile, was stunned to the point of seeing stars, and even the Xuanyuan Sword faltered in light, struggling to compete!
"Ha ha ha ha!" Deng Yin laughed maniacally, "Under the heavens, who could stand as my opponent? What is there to fear from any of you?"
After he finished speaking, everyone below looked at each other. With the Blood Demon holding the Immortal Slaying Sword, they might not be able to defeat him even if they all attacked together, and in a one-on-one fight, even Li Jingxu was likely no match.
Li Jingxu did not have a Magical Treasure capable of restraining his opponent, so if he were chased by Deng Yin at this moment, he could only temporarily avoid the brunt.
"Ha ha ha ha! Senior brother oh senior brother!" Deng Yin raised his sword to the sky, "Can you see this from above right now? Today, I’m going to kill all your disciples and granddisciples! See what you can do about it!
Unless you descend to the Lower Realm yourself and fight me again, you always had the advantage in the past, and I wasn’t your match, so come down now! Come on!"
He shouted loudly, venting the rage he had accumulated over hundreds of years.
Master Changmei naturally wouldn’t respond to him. The silence of outer space remained entirely unbroken.
Turning back to look at the people below, he suddenly saw Master You Tan and sneered, "You Tan, old nun! None of you monks and nuns are any good! Meddling everywhere, you claim yourselves the Nemesis of us on the Demon Path. Today, I want to see what you can do to stop this sword of mine!"
By directly challenging her to take his sword, Deng Yin created a doubt in people’s minds, unsure whether they should intervene and help, as acting rashly could undermine the Master’s dignity.
While speaking, Deng Yin had already begun forming hand seals, and the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword spun rapidly between his hands before suddenly shooting toward Master You Tan!
Master You Tan hastily reached out and summoned the Nine Heavenly Dragon Demon Suppressing Swords from Qi Xia’er’s hands, forming a circular Sword Formation in front of her.
She also struck out with a string of Buddha Beads from her wrist, transforming the 24 beads within the Sword Formation into 24 Heavenly Realms, each containing a Buddha preaching under a Bodhi Tree, all incarnations of Master You Tan.
These incarnations all emitted dazzling golden light simultaneously. The 24 realms shone at once, each incarnation striking a Buddha Seal simultaneously, casting a column of light, all gathering on the Three Life Buddha Seal in the hands of Master You Tan’s original form and releasing the Separation and Reunion Divine Light that she had harshly cultivated for over a thousand years.
Now combining the Sword Formation, Buddha Beads, and Master You Tan’s harshly cultivated 24 Heavenly Incarnations, she was basically exhausting all her power and Effort in dueling with the Blood Shadow!
"Boom!" When the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword fell this time, it wasn’t a thousand-foot blood-colored sword rainbow but a hundred-foot blood-colored meteorite from outer space, ruthlessly smashing onto the Sword Formation.
The moment they made contact, thousands of blood-colored Demon Swords burst forth...
The crowd could only see a scatter of blood-light engulf Master You Tan in the blink of an eye, followed by a rise of golden sword light accompanied by numerous needle pricks.
It turned out that Li Jingxu realized Master You Tan was no match and hurried over to rescue her.
In the instant of the clash, the Nine Heavenly Dragon Demon Suppressing Swords couldn’t even stand for a second. They shattered directly into dozens of pieces of scrap metal!
Inside the Sword Formation, the 24 Heavenly Realms collapsed instantaneously, and the Buddha incarnations inside vanished like smoke!
Master You Tan’s millennia of cultivated Buddha Beads shattered to pieces, and the Separation and Reunion Divine Light scattered everywhere. She herself also suffered a severe injury, spitting out fresh blood.
The Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword charged straight in; a flash of blood-light was about to pierce her chest and drain her of her spiritual energy.
Luckily, Jile Perfected Li Jingxu realized the danger in time, rushed over, and used the Flying Sword and Qiankun Needle to fend off the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, then deployed Mysterious Skill to shift space and move away with Master You Tan.
Deng Yin did not choose to pursue further but instead took back the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, "Li Jingxu! We have known each other for over a thousand years, and I really didn’t expect you to join others in trying to kill me, colluding with the Buddhists...
What business of yours is it whatever dispute I have with my senior brother? But now, it’s fine, I’m not afraid of you anymore, I can completely go and find Xie Shan to use the Heart Lamp Flower Lamp against me, see if you can still kill me!"
Li Jingxu was shocked to hear this and also puzzled, thinking, when have I colluded with anyone to kill you?
Moreover, he was just hurriedly thinking of ways to eliminate this Blood Demon and Demon Sword, and had just thought of Xie Shan’s Buddha Fire Heart Lamp when Deng Yin bluntly exposed it.
This truly stunned Li Jingxu. His prowess was now even higher than a Heavenly Immortal’s, yet Deng Yin could peep into his mind, an utterly baffling thought!
He couldn’t understand it, Deng Yin once again wildly howled, his laughter echoing thousands of miles away, "Li Jingxu! You’re no match for me either. If you dare to trouble me, I will kill you! You better ascend to immortality quickly to save some face for yourself! Ha ha ha, who in this wide world can subdue me?"
As soon as his words fell, a flash of blue light suddenly crossed the sky, and Shi Feiyang appeared with Jiang Shu.
"Ah Yin, are you refusing to follow rules again?"
