Chapter 601: Chapter 602: Slaying the Black Demon

“Devil Blade!” Black Demon’s expression was heavily solemn; the armored devil blades in his hands emitted a piercing, sharp hum as they charged to their limit.

Whoosh!

A breaking sound echoed, and in the blink of an eye, Black Demon had vanished from his original spot and charged towards Lin Qian at high speed.

At this moment, Lin Qian was still swinging his two swords, defending against the overwhelming black Sword Energy.

In the past, the move Devil Blade Sword Prison was often used to slay the enemy when they were weakened and distracted by the onslaught of the Sword Prison.

However, with Lin Qian, the Sword Prison had not managed to deplete him in the slightest; not a single bit of Sword Energy had penetrated his defenses.

“This boy must not be allowed to live. If he survives, failing this plan would be the least of our worries; there may be no hope in the future,” Black Demon thought to himself as he increased his speed towards Lin Qian.

From midair, he appeared almost like a piercing dark light, heading straight for Lin Qian at the center of the Sword Prison.

“Die!” In just the blink of an eye, Black Demon had passed through the Sword Prison and arrived in front of Lin Qian, slashing with the devil blades on his arms towards his opponent’s face.

But at that very moment, Lin Qian suddenly looked up at Black Demon, a mocking cold smile spreading across his face: “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

As Lin Qian spoke, a tremendous force suddenly burst forth from the two swords in his hands, dispersing all the surrounding Sword Energy.

Simultaneously, the Thunder Night Sword and Cloud Sword slashed towards the devil blades on Black Demon’s arms.

Bang!

The devil blades collided with the swords, and the ground directly beneath them collapsed suddenly, followed by a massive spread of force in all directions, sending rocks flying and the Earth cracking, breaking countless Spirit Wood into debris.

“Uh…” Black Demon’s eyes widened as he felt his body, unable to withstand the powerful force, gradually flying backward.

Black Demon couldn’t believe his eyes; his strike with the devil blade was actually blocked by Lin Qian?

How could it be possible for him, merely a Transcendence Realm, even with some secret technique temporarily boosting his strength, to block his devil blade strike?

The attack of the devil blade was a condensed, full-force slash with extreme speed, immense force, and sharpness.

Even though he was temporarily using a borrowed Demon Body, on the Soul Martial Continent, there should be no one capable of withstanding this lethal strike.

Even if there were, it would be few and far between, definitely not this young man from the Human Clan.

Yet, the cold and merciless reality brutally shattered his pride.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Right as he was blown away, Lin Qian closely followed, swinging his double swords rapidly like a fierce storm, relentless and unending.

Black Demon clenched his teeth, also swinging his arms; the devil blades on his arms fiercely collided with Lin Qian’s swords, continuously creating metallic clashing sounds midair.

Fast, too fast!

At this moment, Black Demon was roaring inside, sweat continuously breaking out on his forehead, the sword shadows in front becoming increasingly complex, Lin Qian’s speed of attack also continuously accelerating, the speed and power of the double swords intensifying.

The pressure was escalating, and the expression on Black Demon’s face was extremely grim.

The black demonic blood within his Demon Body flowed crazily, continually emitting black mist, and Soul Power surged forth incessantly from within his body, coalescing on the demonic blades in his arms.

The demonic blood was his final trump card. At this moment, Black Demon clearly felt the limit of his Demon Body being fully forced out, the demonic blood being consumed at several times the usual rate.

Even if the battle with Lin Qian right in front of him did not result in a clear victory or defeat, when the demonic blood in his Demon Body was completely depleted, the Demon Body would be thoroughly disabled.

This situation was no different from having his Demon Body slain.

“You’ve lost, Black Demon,” Lin Qian suddenly spoke coldly. The swords in his hands merged into one, once again forming the Emperor Sword, its blade now brilliantly golden.

“Contending against me for such a long time is an offense, of course—” Lin Qian paused, then suddenly approached Black Demon, raising the Emperor Sword high.

“Immediate execution without amnesty!”

As Lin Qian’s words fell, the Emperor Sword mercilessly descended.

No earth-shaking might, no overwhelming Sword Qi, just the Emperor Sword flickering with golden light, so plainly falling.

Black Demon raised his arms, sliced through by the blade. The demonic blades were mere decorations, effortlessly severed. The hard arms, likewise, were effortlessly chopped off like tofu by the Emperor Sword.

Lin Qian’s Emperor Sword struck the top of Black Demon’s head, slicing straight down the middle.

The next moment, Lin Qian retracted his sword and stepped back, watching from a distance as Black Demon hung suspended in mid-air.

“You…” Black Demon raised his arm, pointing at Lin Qian in front of him. His lips moved, but no words came out, and right through the center of his body, black lines suddenly appeared, with ink-black blood spurting out from them.

This body of Yun Hu controlled by Black Demon split in two and began to fall downwards, lifeless.

But just then, Soul Power surged out from within Lin Qian’s body, enveloping the corpse and sending it into the Huaxia Empire of Xuanhuan Star, certain that Zhuge Ming and the Heavenly Art Department would be very interested.

Subsequently, Lin Qian also flew back to the Huaxia Emperor Vessel. The golden fiery glow enveloping him gradually disappeared, his previously intensified aura now returning to normal.

“Dad?” Seeing Lin Di, who had fainted, Lin Qian spoke, puzzled and bewildered. Then his eyes darkened, and with a thud, he fell to the ground, unconscious.

“Qianer!”

Meanwhile, in the vast outer Void, within this dark-filled Void, a planet, many times larger than Earth, quietly floated in this darkness.

Looking closely, one could see a mist shrouding the planet, brimming with vitality.

And on a piece of gray rock in the distant Void, a figure shrouded in a black robe sat cross-legged.

Originally, this person had his eyes tightly closed, but when Lin Qian killed the body of Yun Hu, his eyes suddenly opened wide, gasping for breath.

After a long while, this person regained his composure, looking at the planet ahead with resentful eyes: “Soul Martial Continent, Lin Qian!”

“Damn it, where did this kid come from!” The figure roared in fury, looking at the increasingly rich vitality, “And why, why does the vitality of Soul Martial Continent start to recover and become so rich?”
