Chapter 213: Chapter 154 Flying Sword Slays Demons and Leaves When Done_2

Scales, no matter how solid, could not withstand the True Sword Dao. It now seemed as though Gu Wen was being suppressed, but in reality, it was the Qing python that was injured.

Gu Wen’s expression was cold and indifferent, paying no heed to the gazes from all around. He was observing the opponent’s techniques and strength.

Surpassing levels required full concentration to seize every opportunity and be on guard against all dangers.

This was akin to passing a game with just one life. From effortlessly surpassing one level to kill enemies, to how Gu Wen could fight against the Devil Clan’s pride by surpassing three levels—his success was never attributed to reckless bravery.

The Snake Demon was skilled in swordsmanship and had thick skin.

Using swordsmanship as his attack was the basis of Gu Wen’s confidence in achieving victory. He would flee from other magic skills, but never from swordsmanship.

Because the Immortal Sword was unreasonable when it came to anything involving swords.

He could win, but killing would likely require significant effort.

Although there was a four-level difference between them, Gu Wen’s foundation was in the Human Immortal Skill, his attack was the True Sword Dao, and his Golden Core was the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. Moreover, Gu Wen’s Golden Core, now at the Sixth Transition, could also be considered fulfilled—ordinary people were fulfilled at the Third Transition, but prodigies at the Sixth.

Others perceived him as unfulfilled, but was his ’unfulfilled’ really comparable to the mediocrities?

"Is that all you’ve got? Just a turtle hiding behind its shell?"

The Qing python suddenly spoke in mockery, though it was evenly matched by being surpassed by four levels, yet it still had the audacity to ridicule Gu Wen.

Ao Tang couldn’t help but telepathically communicate, "Second Ancestor, don’t fall for his provocation."

The battle tactics were going beyond the norm.

Gu Wen remained composed, gradually building up momentum, with the force of the sword in his hand steadily intensifying.

Clang!

With one stroke, he fended off the snake’s tail. The True Sword Dao fully activated the Sword Qi, slashing out. The cunning Qing python coiled its body defensively, sustaining a massive wound, yet it did not reach the core.

Gu Wen’s eyes slightly darkened; if Chi Yu Zi had been there like the other day fighting Suan Ren and opened up the enemy’s vital points, that sword strike just now could have slain it.

The difference between hitting an arm and hitting the temple—the same force, completely opposite outcomes.

Yet, it was just a momentary change in the situation that further infuriated Yu Ni, prompting it to immediately summon its dharma form.

Above its kilometer-long body, another kilometer of dharma form was added.

The Green Snake Dharma Form opened up under the sword light, then a breath transformed into a massive sword plummeting down.

Gu Wen exhaled slightly, reaching his hand toward the Immortal Sword on his back, then suddenly sensed it wasn’t the right time, and with his left hand, he conjured a remnant figure of the Immortal Sword.

With one strike, the giant sword shattered, and the dharma form broke.

Sword against Immortal Sword—even if the Green Snake ascended another realm, it was not possible to gain the upper hand.

The Green Snake Dharma Form was mostly destroyed, and Yu Ni, exposed outside the broken dharma form, had its pupils filled with astonishment, and so did the great powers from various sides casting their gazes upon the fight.

Below the Dao Realm, they were astonished by the power of the True Sword Dao, and above the Dao Realm, they were amazed by the depth of Gu Wen’s mana.

"Descendant of Qingcang, today it’s either you die, or I perish!"

Yu Ni completely descended into madness, blue light emerging from under its scales, its momentum climbing.

The vengeance of its kin unavenged, instead surpassed in levels by the enemy’s descendant, and even losing the upper hand by four levels.

A pair of illusory white feathers spread out, the Qing python’s form slowly ascending, its mana flooding out like a mountain torrent, accumulating in one breath to ascend a minor realm, ten breaths equivalent to ascending a major realm.

Feathered Snake Divine Skills, for a moment, pushed the Green Snake to the Fourteenth Level.

But its vital points were all exposed, without any means of defense or evasion. The Fourteenth Level’s attack did not equate to the Fourteenth Level’s defense.

"Second Ancestor, this mudfish is desperate—let’s go!"

Ao Tang could no longer stand by, positioning himself in front of Gu Wen, closely followed by the latter stepping forward.

A calm tone came through,

"Protector, don’t block me."

The Immortal Sword slowly drew from its sheath, a streak of cold light reflecting off the heavens and earth, as if reversing dusk to daylight.

Just one sword strike, the divine light emitted by the Feathered Snake Divine Skills dimmed.

Blood stained half of the river, the scales as tough as rocks cracked, three meters below the Qing python’s head, a sword scar deeply embedded into the white bone, the flesh smoothly cut, pulsating visibly.

Yet, Yu Ni was not dead, it lay half over the bank, its eyes still glaring intensely at Gu Wen.

Indeed, without Chi Yu Zi to control, surpassing three levels to kill an enemy was still extremely exhausting. If it hadn’t used its Divine Skills, that sword strike would only injure it fundamentally, unable to decide the outcome.

And I am left with only one-third of my mana.

While reviewing the battle, Gu Wen stepped onto the snake’s head, Chopping Clouds Sword against its brow.

"You’ve lost."

The outcome was clear.

Silence surrounded them, several Devil Clan’s pride watching from afar were stunned; they had not imagined Gu Wen could win.

The gods beyond the skies concealed their emotions, but for some unknown reason, more and more gazes were cast upon them, so much so that Ao Tang could vaguely sense them.

Many Demi Immortals were watching this place!

"Kill or slice as you please, this king loses if I make a sound."

Yu Ni’s voice still carried resentment, as if Gu Wen had slain his entire family.

So you don’t consider this a loss now?

Gu Wen hadn’t expected this demon to be more shameless than humans, each more hypocritical than the last, truly fitting the label of a demon.

He could somewhat understand the conflict between the Qingcang Immortal and the Devil Clan, but observing the cruelties at Nanshui, he felt demons deserved to be slain.

He wondered how much Heavenly Marrow this Snake Demon had; its body was a kilometer long, it had taken almost half a day.

Perhaps he could make a snake soup.

Gu Wen pressed down the sword blade slightly, then suddenly a voice came from above, an illusory figure flying in from beyond the heavens.

"Spare the demon under the sword."

Yu Ni, hearing the voice, paused for a moment, then his eyes filled with ecstasy, loudly shouting, "Old Ancestor, save me!!!"

Gu Wen heard it immediately, then paused the Chopping Clouds Sword in his hand, his other hand swiftly driving the last remnant figure of the Immortal Sword deep inside.

The reason was simple: anyone intending to protect the enemy was also an enemy.

With a puff!

The sword light entered the snake’s head like a knife through tofu, the shockwave spanning its entire kilometer-long body. Without any resistance, Yu Ni was split from the brow into two.
