Chapter 1151: Chapter 1005: Defeating the Demon (Congratulations to Alliance Leader Dragon Fighting in the Wild)

"Who are you?"

A figure stood atop a pitch-black skull, looking at Fang Xi—it was none other than Sky Demon Jun Xie!

However, as he looked at the stranger in front of him wearing a mask, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

This person was surrounded by an extremely sharp Sword Qi, seemingly a sword cultivator.

The mask on his face must also be an exotic treasure, not only making it difficult for Divine Thought to discern his true features but even concealing his original true aura.

"The one who will kill you!"

Fang Xi shouted lightly, and from the sword body of the ’Fire Cloud Sword’ in his hand, flames and clouds surged, transforming into an astonishingly fierce sword light of fire attribute!

The ’Fire Cloud Sword,’ although not as powerful as the ’All-Heaven Fire Sword,’ was still one of the famed immortal flying swords of the Shu Mountain Sect.

Previously discarded by Fang Xi as if it were worn-out shoes, it had already become quite impatient.

Now, finally presented with an opportunity, the sword light truly shone brilliantly, tens of thousands of Sword Qi flickering wildly, looking like trees of silver blossoms lit by fire.

With a single strike, a blood-red radiance suddenly shattered the skull!

"Indeed a sword cultivator!"

Jun Xie’s physique, agile like a specter, was surrounded by all sorts of phantom images.

His true body concealed within layers of black fog, he immediately took out a black banner.

This black banner was embroidered with a pure white skull, and at the top was the head of a True Dragon!

At that moment, accompanied by a chant, the True Dragon head suddenly opened its mouth, spewing out strands of strange purple-black True Fire!

The odd black True Fire spread throughout the void, even capable of burning Sword Qi!

This ’Three Yin True Dragon Flames’ could only be formed in the place where a True Dragon fell, combined with the natural creation of the True Immortal Realm.

It required a True Dragon to fall precisely in the ’Land of Three Yin,’ then gestate for hundreds of thousands of years, to possibly succeed!

The nature of this Three Yin True Dragon Flames was so violent that even immortals found it difficult to control. Sky Demon Jun Xie collected it and refined it into a ’Three Yin True Dragon Banner,’ with which he could barely manipulate the might of these demon flames.

Such demon flames, indeed, were one of the preeminent Demon Flames in the True Immortal Realm.

Even True Immortals did not wish to be tainted by even a thread of it, and with the True Dragon’s Evil Qi, it was especially potent in corrupting flying swords and treasures.

Jun Xie had once used it to even shatter the natal immortal weapon of Immortal Lie Ri!

Although True Fire of the Great Sun restrained most evil and demonic creatures, it had no effect whatsoever on the ’Three Yin True Dragon Flames’!

The fall of Immortal Lie Ri could be said to be largely related to this banner!

"Go!"

Jun Xie’s fingers flicked without pause, as if they were plucking the strings of a qin, refining the ’Three Yin True Dragon Flames’ into strands of purple-black fiery threads.

These fiery threads spread throughout the void, seemingly sealing off the entire surroundings of Fang Xi.

More strands drifted towards the ’Fire Cloud Sword,’ wishing to thoroughly refine this flying sword into waste!

After deploying the treasure, Jun Xie immediately, without a second thought, took out a pitch-black talisman and attached it to himself.

Wuu wuu!

Instantly around him, a suit of dark Sky Demon Armor appeared!

This demon armor was ferociously frightful, composed of countless Sky Demon inscriptions, and carried a hint of an obscure aura.

Jun Xie did not say more, taking out a half-broken pitch-black Demon Blade, his terrifying Magic Power continuously being sacrificed into it.

This pitch-black Demon Blade let out a roar, slowly growing out a blood-red tip.

A dreadful aura of Demon Qi overflowed.

’After all, they are beings from the True Immortal Realm who cultivated ’Mortal Skills’; every one of them fought their way up from the very bottom... These combat techniques are truly endless, more varied than the others but lacking in purity!’

Fang Xi formed a Sword Table in his hand.

The Fire Cloud Sword seemed to melt, completely merging with his Magic Power.

Then, he merged with the sword and sent forth a dazzling red light!

This light was of utmost purity, with uncountable blades appearing within it.

Those blades suddenly cleaved thousands of times, directly severing the ’Three Yin True Dragon Flames’ fiery threads; the endless fire threads were unable to harm Fang Xi’s sword light in the least.

This was the ’One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws’ Fang Xi learned from the Shu Mountain Sect!

The sword techniques of that place were different from the sword cultivators of the True Immortal Realm, forming their own unique system.

Starting with the unity of person and sword, they refined a flying sword to be completely one with the True Qi. When the sword was unsheathed, it seemed to be a flying sword, but in reality, it was also a strand of True Qi, ever-changing and not restrained by many dark and evil things.

Not to mention that the ’Fire Cloud Sword’ was a Pure Yang flying sword, not like the Immortal Weapons refined by the True Immortal Realm’s Origin Soul prohibition laws.

Combining the two, it indeed had an earth-shattering ability and truly was the epitome of One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Laws!

Even the Sky Demon’s techniques were destined to be shattered by one sword strike!

"Slash!"

Fang Xi gave a cold shout, and countless red Sword Qi combined to form a giant flying sword in the sky, delivering a slash!

Wuu wuu!

The Sky Demon Armor cried out, showing crack upon crack.

Around those cracks were scattered charred marks.

"What kind of technique is this?"

Jun Xie was horrified and turned pale.

Just now, Fang Xi’s single sword strike had broken his Three Yin True Dragon Flames and then slashed through the Sky Demon Armor.

The speed was simply inconceivable.

This was also the feature of Shu Mountain’s combat style: swift as the sword flies, life and death separated in an instant!

In sword fights, being fast, accurate, and ruthless was essential!

To resolve the opponent in a split second, leaving no chance to retaliate, was the best technique!

Fang Xi had recently mastered three aspects of it.

His Origin Soul controlled the sword. The Fire Cloud Sword burst with astonishing radiance, as chains of fire attribute laws continuously condensed in the heavens and earth, stripping away layers of Sky Demon Armor’s demon qi.

At this moment, Jun Xie had no time to fully refine the Demon Blade in his hand and could only swing it out hastily!

Clang!

This one slash was filled with the intent of destruction. When it was unleashed, countless wronged souls wailed.

It was as if the world had suddenly plummeted into the purgatory of souls, with an eerie yin qi all around, as strange faces appeared one after the other, converging into the sword light, amplifying the might of this slash!

Among these faces, Fang Xi even saw several that were quite familiar to him.

"Elder Ge?"

"And that Talisman Master from the earlier meeting? Weren’t they attacked?"

"So the conspiracy at that Talisman Master’s meeting, Elder Ge was just a chess piece, the real mastermind behind the scenes was a Sky Demon!"

In an instant, Fang Xi understood many things.

Clang!

The sword and saber crossed paths in midair, and the void shattered, as countless streams of energy diffused into the distance.

"To die by my ’Blood Talisman Knife’ is an honor for you."

The Sky Demon Jun Xie snorted coldly, unleashing another slash.

Above the blade of this Demon Saber, fantastical talismans began to emerge!

Each one of those talismans possessed almost the full power of true talismans of the Heavenly Bureau. When they gathered in the sword light, they were unstoppable.

With every slash, the power of a single true talisman accompanied it!

"Talisman Blade?"

Seeing this, Fang Xi couldn’t help but recall a school from the Shu Mountain that seemed to possess a similar divine skill. However, what they cultivated was a ’Talisman Sword’!

During their cultivation, they would infuse talismans into the Talisman Sword. At the mere flick of the sword, the sky would fill with talismans raining down, mixed with the sword light, making it incredibly difficult to defend against.

However, it was considered a sidetrack inheritance, not part of the orthodox cultivation, and was deemed flashy and superfluous by cultivators of the Righteous Path.

When he glanced at the Shu Mountain Sect’s Sword Tome, he saw a comment by one of its Elders: "Claiming the Talisman Sword incomparable, yet falls short of unity. No matter the myriad of spells, they shall be broken by my one sword..."

He had felt deeply convinced at the time.

Now, seeing it again, he wanted to laugh.

This Sky Demon Jun Xie wasn’t a pure saber fanatic. He didn’t bother to painstakingly refine a talisman saber seed, but instead collected many Talisman Masters. And who knows by what methods, he had actually refined this ’Blood Talisman Knife’!

But it was obvious, methods like Blood Sacrifice must have been involved, and those who were talented with talismans had all become souls under this knife!

However, at this moment, those wronged souls had only manifested halfway and then stopped.

That was because Fang Xi had broken through the Three Yin True Dragon Flames and Sky Demon Armor in succession, and the Sky Demon Jun Xie simply didn’t have time to invoke the full power of this Magic Treasure, and had to fight in haste.

The blood-red light of the saber and the crimson light of the sword tangled and vibrated...

Layers of clouds piled upon the ’Fire Cloud Sword’, breaking through one sinister face after another.

Each strike appeared to precisely target the weakest link between the True Talismans and the saber light, shattering many talismans with a single sword strike!

"Impossible!"

Seeing this, the Sky Demon Jun Xie’s face was filled with disbelief.

Swish!

A flash of crimson brilliance, and the Sky Demon Jun Xie’s head tilted, revealing his true Sky Demon form—a towering demon creature tens of thousands of feet tall.

With three heads and six arms, armored in golden scales, his appearance was ferocious.

But now, this demon creature was roaring up to the sky, a giant bloody hole evident on its body.

’This Sky Demon Jun Xie is only at the level of an average True Immortal of Origin Soul...’ Fang Xi thought, having only used a fraction of his strength.

Seeing that the Sky Demon Jun Xie was faltering, he couldn’t help but look down upon him in his heart.

Although this demon body was formidable, compared to those of the Demon Path in Shu Mountain who had refined indestructible Divine Demon bodies, it was but on a par.

If he had used not the ’Fire Cloud Sword’ but the ’Pure Jun Sword’, specially against the indestructible demon bodies, even if a single stroke wouldn’t kill his opponent, it would surely make him suffer a great loss!

However, Fang Xi was still firmly defending his position, operating the ’Fire Cloud Sword’ with agility, in combination with not very sophisticated fire attribute power of the heavenly and earthly laws, gradually weakening Sky Demon Jun Xie’s defenses.

’Continuing this way, the opponent will surely lose eventually...’

’But I am not able to hold him down...’

’Actually, this is the level of an average immortal, isn’t it?’ Fang Xi pondered silently.

’If anyone should act, it should be now!’

The one he had been on guard against was not Sky Demon Jun Xie, but rather Dugu Fang, who might be in this Secret Realm!

...

"Array Spirit, this sword cultivator indeed has some ability, having managed to defeat Jun Xie. Do you think he is sufficient as a sacrificial offering?"

Dugu Fang said with an expressionless face.

"Of course he is sufficient..."

The ’Dugu Fang’ reflected in the water snickered coldly, "But since I’ve exerted effort to shift them to the Secret Realm, naturally, I should have a share. These two combined can count only as one blood sacrifice for you!"

"It’s always difficult to shift immortals. They must not resist fiercely to make it possible... Although the ’Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Shift Array’ in this Secret Realm is barely usable, you must hold them off for a moment."

The Array Spirit continued.

"Jun Xie was originally my man. If not for the need to keep him as a connection to the power behind him, I would have sacrificed him long ago... I have dueled with this demon cultivator before, where I only used fifty percent of my magic power, yet that made him bow and submit!"

Dugu Fang said, still expressionless, and then looked towards Fang Xi, who was wearing a mask: "Once we enter the Secret Realm, leave that sword cultivator to me!"
