Chapter 129 Heavenly Sword Peak
Chapter 129 Heavenly Sword Peak
"Zhao Xuanque, if you had handed him over earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this." With a palm strike, Yan Fusheng shattered Zhao Xuanque's corpse, then turned and disappeared into the darkness. Shi Longyin also withdrew his power of return to nothingness, remained silent, and followed Yan Fusheng's footsteps.
Soon, the news of the ambush and assassination of Zhao Xuanque, the leader of the Five Thunder Sect, spread like a thunderclap throughout the Upper Xuan Realm.
The Heavenly Sword Pavilion leader Yu Longgang and the Demon Slaughtering Hall leader Wang Qiulin were both furious. Although the righteous and demonic paths were constantly fighting, the ambush and killing of a sect leader was unprecedented in hundreds of years.
What makes the righteous path even more uneasy is that the demonic path is willing to risk a complete war between the two paths to kill Zhao Xuanque. This means that Zhao Xuanque has something that is very important to the demonic path. And it is obvious that the "Blood Sea Asura Great Art" that the Five Thunder Sect recently obtained is the target of the demonic path. Once Yan Fusheng successfully cultivates the "Blood Sea Asura Great Art", the strength of the Cang Sheng Sect will increase dramatically, and the balance between the righteous and the demonic path will be completely broken.
Yu Longgang and Wang Qiulin made a decisive decision and joined forces to declare war on the demonic path.
The sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion descended the mountain on their swords, unleashing ten thousand swords simultaneously, their sword light raining down, obscuring the sky and the sun; the beast-taming army of the Demon Slaughtering Hall poured out in full force, the roars of the demonic beasts shaking the heavens and the earth; the remaining two of the three righteous sects launched a fierce attack on the two demonic sects with all their might.
The Guixu Sect and the Cangsheng Sect were not to be outdone. The disciples of the Guixu Sect manipulated the Yin and turbid evil energy to ambush and assassinate in the darkness; the cultivators of the Cangsheng Sect used the Blood Refining Technique to devour the life force of the righteous disciples, becoming stronger with each battle.
The great battle between good and evil has fully erupted.
The sky of the Upper Realm was dyed in various colors by sword light, lightning, blood light, and baleful aura. The earth trembled, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and cities were reduced to ruins in the flames of war. Every day, hundreds and thousands of cultivators fell, their blood flowing into rivers and their corpses piling up into mountains.
In the first month of the war between good and evil, the Heavenly Sword Pavilion's Myriad Swords Formation and the Guixu Abyss of the Guixu Sect clashed head-on on the central plains of the Upper Xuan Realm.
Sword light cascaded like a waterfall, and murderous aura was as deep as an abyss. The two immense forces intertwined, tearing the world within a thousand miles into chaos.
The Heavenly Sword Pavilion's leader, Yu Longgang, wielded his sword alone, his sword light traversing hundreds of miles, slaying three Golden Core elders of the Guixu Sect from the clouds; the Guixu Sect's leader, Shi Longyin, struck out with his palm, the power of Guixu devouring heaven and earth, dragging a sword formation of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, along with a hundred disciples, into bottomless darkness.
In the second month, the demon beast army of the Demon Slaughtering Hall and the blood-refining cultivators of the Common People Sect engaged in a bloody battle on the wasteland of the southern border.
Wang Qiulin, the leader of the Demon Slaughtering Hall, personally commanded a three-headed demon king-level behemoth and killed thousands of Cang Sheng Sect disciples, including three Golden Core Realm cultivators.
The leader of the Cang Sheng Sect, Yan Fusheng, countered with the Blood Sea Asura Technique. The blood-red light blotted out the sky and severely injured the three-headed demon king. Wang Qiulin was also struck by the blood-red light and suffered great damage.
Having cultivated the "Blood Sea Asura Great Technique," Yan Fusheng's combat power soared, and Wang Qiulin was no longer his match in a one-on-one fight.
In the third month, the remaining disciples of the Five Thunder Sect were ambushed by the Demonic Blood Sun Sect. The two sides engaged in a fierce chase in the eastern mountains. Lightning and flames intertwined, mountains were blasted flat, forests were burned, and thousands of cultivators were buried in the wilderness. The Five Thunder Sect lost its leader and was left leaderless. It was pressed forward step by step by the Blood Sun Sect and suffered repeated defeats.
The number of casualties on both the righteous and demonic sides is in the tens of thousands. People fall every day, and people flee every day. The once prosperous city has become a ruin, and the once peaceful valley has become a graveyard. As Yan Fusheng's cultivation continues to increase, the righteous path has been completely suppressed.
Amidst this chaos, Yuan Zhongwu, also known as Tai Ming, is rapidly rising to power.
Guixu Cult, the Black Hall.
Shi Longyin sat emaciated on the futon, his face paler than usual. He had been severely injured in the battle with the two leaders of the righteous path and would need a long time to recover.
Tai Ming stood before Shi Longyin, his figure imposing and his face resolute. A faint demonic aura swirled around him, and his aura was deeper than before, showing signs of a breakthrough.
Shi Longyin looked at Tai Ming, his hoarse voice carrying a hint of relief: "Zhongwu, in the past three months, you have killed five Golden Core cultivators from the righteous path, including Ling Ziyuan, the sword genius of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion. I have remembered your achievements."
Tai Ming clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice low and respectful: "It is my duty to share the burdens of the sect leader."
Shi Longyin nodded, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "The righteous path's fortune has not yet been exhausted. Yu Longgang and Wang Qiulin are not easy opponents. I need you to continue fighting, kill more righteous Golden Core cultivators on the battlefield, and weaken their power. When the time is right, I will join forces with the Cang Sheng Sect to launch a general offensive and wipe out the righteous path in one fell swoop. After the deed is done, you will be blessed with good fortune, and you will become the third leader of my demonic path."
Tai Ming lowered his head, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master."
In the fourth month, the Guixu Sect and the Cangsheng Sect joined forces to launch a general offensive.
The remaining forces of the three major righteous sects retreated to the gate of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, Heavenly Sword Peak.
Sky Sword Peak soars into the clouds, surrounded by cliffs on all sides, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Sky Sword Pavilion's Ten Thousand Swords Formation covers the entire mountain, with sword light like a forest and killing intent soaring to the sky. The demon beast army of the Demon Slaughtering Hall and the remnants of the Thunder Cultivator of the Five Thunder Sect also gather here to jointly resist the attack of the demonic path.
Yan Fusheng and Shi Longyin personally led the demonic army to surround Tianjian Peak. Blood and evil energy intertwined, like a black dragon coiled around the mountain, completely isolating Tianjian Peak from the outside world.
Shi Longyin stood atop the Guixu Sect's warship, looking down at the mountain peak shrouded in sword light below, his voice icy: "Yu Longgang, Wang Qiulin, your death is near."
On Tianjian Peak, Yu Longgang held a long sword, his white hair fluttering in the wind. Beside him, Wang Qiulin was covered in blood, his face pale, but he still stood up straight. The two looked at each other, but did not speak, their expressions upright.
"To vanquish demons and uphold justice is merely a matter of death!"
The final battle between good and evil is about to begin.
Shi Longyin made the first move, and the power of the Void transformed into a pitch-black abyss that pressed down from the sky, devouring all light and spiritual energy. The Ten Thousand Swords Formation on Tianjian Peak trembled violently under the pressure of the abyss, and the sword light flickered erratically.
Yan Fusheng followed closely behind, unleashing the full power of the Blood Sea Technique. Blood light surged, transforming into a vast sea of blood, roaring and churning within it. Countless demonic figures howled and roared, and demonic energy soared into the sky.
The two forces merged together, transforming into a devastating torrent that crashed towards Heavenly Sword Peak.
Yu Longgang roared, and the sword light in his hand transformed into a white rainbow that stretched to the heavens and the earth, colliding with the torrent.
boom!
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the sword light shattered, the blood light dissipated, the power of the void reversed, Yu Longgang spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backward and crashed into the cliff of Tianjian Peak, his expression was miserable.
