Chapter 271. The Decisive Battle of the Great War of Good and Demonic (1)

The battlefield was silent.

No one opened their mouths.

The scene unfolding before their eyes was simply too shocking.

It was even more unbelievable than when the Heavenly Demon had first appeared, destroying and turning the Martial Alliance's key players into a complete mess.

One Sword Seven Kills Zhi Yiguang doubted his eyes as his jaw dropped, his demeanor changing so swiftly that one might have wondered if he had gone and sold his aura to a traveling merchant.

"R—"

Someone's voice leaked out.

This time, it wasn't the roar of the Demon Cult.

It was the Martial Alliance that roared.

A roar from those who had lost hope and were in despair, just waiting for their deaths.

RAH!!!

It was a roar so loud that it felt as though it could shake the world off its axis. Even though half of the gathered martial artists were injured, their roar was loud enough to rupture eardrums.

Some of the warriors were so emotional that they cried out with hot tears in their eyes.

"Senior Brother...?"

Luo Xiaoyue looked at the back of the person she thought was dead, and tears rolled down her cheeks. A small smile spread across her lips.

If it weren't for the situation, she would have immediately hugged him from behind, burying her face in his back while crying and laughing simultaneously.

She looked at Zhou Xuchuan, holding back an impulse that she absolutely couldn't act on.

"...is this real?"

Tang Hui, standing next to her, blinked in disbelief.

"Let's postpone the joy of our reunion until later."

Zhou Xuchuan turned his head back to greet the familiar faces, then returned to his original position and looked ahead.

"Damn, that really is a lot."

The Demon Cult still numbered three thousand. That wasn't a small number.

When he thought about the Vice Cult Leader, the Northern Death Guardian, and the Eastern Illusion Guardian, he suddenly felt a weight settle upon his shoulders.

"It's really fortunate that you came."

Zhou Xuchuan glanced at Sword Demon Wu Qu and felt relieved.

While he could do something about the Heavenly Demon, it felt like it would have been too much if he had to also worry about the others. It was a good thing Wu Qu was here.

"I'll leave everyone other than the Heavenly Demon to you."

"Is that okay?"

"That's more than enough."

Wu Qu stepped aside.

"This is really getting interesting."

Heavenly Demon put away his sword for a moment and laughed.

"I never thought the hero of the Righteous Faction, whom I only heard about through rumors, would be alive and well... aren't you supposed to be dead?"

"While they say that there isn't an order to death, even so, it's still too early for me to leave this world when I have such a bright future ahead of me."

"Ahahaha! Really, how funny!"

The Heavenly Demon burst into laughter in a cheerful voice.

"I thought that you were just some brat who became famous by leveraging the Blood Monk's secret technique, but seeing you in person, that doesn't seem to be the case."

The eerie glare in his eyes, even more chilling than Blood Demon's, shone calmly.

"I don't know if it's because the recent battle stimulated me or if my eyes are lying to me, but your cultivation truly is fascinating. If what I'm seeing right now is real, then there's no need to wait for the Taiji Sword."

The Heavenly Demon licked his lips with his tongue and grinned.

"I won't speak too much."

Rumble!

"Let's go."

Boom!

It was as if a storm had erupted from within him.

Before Zhou Xuchuan could say anything, the Heavenly Demons' figure shot forward.

To others, it seemed as though he had disappeared and suddenly reappeared.

However, Zhou Xuchuan, who was in the same cultivation realm as the Heavenly Demon, saw something different. He could clearly see the Heavenly Demon's movement.

The Heavenly Demon's sword swung down from above.

Zhou Xuchuan held Longyuan straight and then swung his sword straight up from below with all his might, colliding with Heavenly Demon's sword, which was about to split his head.

Claaaaang!

There was a long metallic screech.

BOOM!

The Heavenly Demon, who was riled up, didn't shout any of his techniques' names.

Instead, he just swung his sword while shouting.

When he unleashed the first form of the Heavenly Demon Three Swords, a dark light obscured his vision.

The optic nerve was the part of the body that received information, allowing one to see.

Zhou Xuchuan's brain belatedly realized the principle of the Heavenly Demon Three Swords.

It's a dense saturation of qi that radiates outward!

Looking inside the mass of qi, he saw an ignorant amount of energy swirling within.

Every strand of qi within that mass was a shining strand of qi aura. The dark thing wrapped around the Heavenly Demon's sword was a seemingly endlessly produced qi, which condensed and hardened to become sword aura.

As the Heavenly Demon swung his sword, he spread the aura thinly and widely before piling on a few more layers.

Normally, aura was condensed qi, meaning that it should have grown smaller. However, the concentrated amount of qi that the Heavenly Demon was emitting was so vast that the aura itself overflowed and seemingly proliferated.

What a brutish bastard!

Zhou Xuchuan clicked his tongue and fixed his body with the Thousand Catty Ballast and the Ten-Thousand Jin Sword.

The pressure of the sword pressing down on his head was so great that his legs dug into the ground up to his ankles.

Violet Haze Dawnbreaker! Arc Flower Rain!

A defensive qi barrier alone wouldn't be enough to hold out. So, knowing that he couldn't stay still, he counterattacked.

The first form unfolded, and before it could bloom, it transformed into a fan and collided head-on with the Heavenly Demon's Three Sword Forms.

Wooosh!

The wind blew.

The wind became a gust.

The gust soon turned into a storm, howling fiercely and covering the surroundings.

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG!

The purple and black radiance mixed together, then burst out in all directions, running wild. The space between the aura distorted and tore apart, leaving scars in the air.

Even the tens of thousands of grains of sand that had been flying into the air were swallowed up by the storm of radiance and disappeared without a trace.

BOOOM!

An explosion shook the ground to its core. The surrounding air quaked violently from the sheer force of the shockwave.

The battlefield wasn't unscathed.

Even the absolute masters facing each other were forced back, unable to withstand the impact.

Zhou Xuchuan, whose body was lifted into the air a zhang high, spun around and flicked his fingers three times.

Violet Haze Finger!

The beams of light shot from his fingers, drawing straight lines as they poured down like arrows at the point where the Heavenly Demon was falling.

"Ho!"

The Heavenly Demon responded to the Violet Haze Finger with a Breaking Heaven Asura Palm, blasting forward with his palm instead of his sword.

A dark light flashed from his palm just like before, and a palm wind several times larger than his body shot into the air, colliding with the Violet Haze Finger.

Boom!

The Violet Haze Finger was swallowed up by the chaotic blast and disappeared.

In the meantime, Zhou Xuchuan landed as if he were a sword being stabbed into the ground. Kicking off the dirt, he thrust his sword forward.

Shing!

A straight sword, piercing through the air as if leaving a hole in space, aimed for the neck of the Great Demon of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, attempting to cleave him at the throat.

Claaaaang!

But unfortunately, the sword strike did not meet flesh. Just before it could cut through his skin, the Heavenly Demon blocked it with his sword.

"Heup!"

He sucked air deep into his lungs. His dense muscles grew tense, and his qi surged from his dantian.

A powerful force like a great sea spread through every part of his meridians. His physical abilities instantly increased as he unleashed his bodily strength alongside his attacks.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

It didn't matter if his attacks failed. If he fell, he just had to get up and attack again.

Metallic clangs that made one's head ring echoed repeatedly. In an instant, their swords flashed dozens, even hundreds of times, falling like meteors.

They were both using swift sword techniques that not even Harmony Realm Masters could dare to follow!

Swish, swish, swish!

No one knew how many times they both attacked.

It all happened within an instant. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xuchuan and the Heavenly Demon had exchanged attacks and moves hundreds of times.

The sheer pressure of their swords pushed their hair back and then forward as if blowing with the wind.

This was a space where only Absolute Masters could exist.

Their constricted pupils moved around to follow the movement of the swords as their hands moved faster than even their eyes and flung out sword strikes.

"Hahaha!" the Heavenly Demon burst out laughing as if in a good mood.

1. I've seen some questions about this. Reaching the end of one's lifespan is NOT ascension. ☜
