Chapter 244: Nine Matron Demon Annihilation Sword Manual!

Within the Fortune Ground Fragment Realm.

Ye Guyue's beautiful eyes gleamed with icy determination as she surveyed the Bloodsea before the Wushan Mountains. She finally made her decision: "Zhiqiu, come with me to break through this formation."

Though the Treasure-Child had chosen to surrender without much resistance, Lv Yang had still demonstrated several transformations of his Array Art. Ye Guyue carefully observed everything, and having determined she had the means to break through, quickly regained her composure. She immediately flew forward, enveloped in a beam of light.

"Very well then!"

Seeing this, Lv Yang smiled slightly and shook his banner, activating the Bloodsea to suppress her. But Ye Guyue simply removed a precious pearl from her robe.

"Go!"

With a casual toss, the pearl landed in the Bloodsea and instantly emitted brilliant light, swallowing up the surging blood waves like a whale consuming ocean waters!

As the Bloodsea continued to pour in, the originally clear pearl gradually turned blood red, its aura becoming increasingly violent.

Raising his eyebrows, Lv Yang immediately stopped the Bloodsea's descent upon seeing this. He understood Ye Guyue's tactic - the pearl could absorb external energy. She was waiting until it had collected enough Bloodsea, then would detonate it, using the opponent's own strength against them to break through the Array Art!

As for the Soul-Stealing Miasma within the Bloodsea, it was hardly worth mentioning.

Ye Guyue only needed to maintain a steady sword heart. No matter what techniques Lv Yang used to disturb the soul, she could easily cut through them with her Sword Intent. None of it could affect her.

"Excellent technique."

Lv Yang maintained a calm expression as he reached for the centipede wasp bag at his waist, releasing hundreds of millions of Aetherophagous Beetles that merged into the Bloodsea and surged toward Ye Guyue.

Ye Guyue continued to meet the attack with the pearl.

This time, however, after absorbing the Bloodsea, the pearl began developing cracks. Looking closer, swarms of insects could be seen crawling inside!

"Aetherophagous Beetles", Ye Guyue's eyebrows furrowed slightly as she calculated the creatures' origins. Lv Yang had mixed these demonic insects into the Bloodsea, significantly reducing the pearl's capacity to absorb the energy.

Each wave of Bloodsea absorbed meant additional damage from the beetles' bites. The result? The pearl would be destroyed before it could accumulate power to its maximum potential. If detonated prematurely, its energy wouldn't be sufficient to destroy the Array Art, making her efforts futile.

And there was an even greater complication—

"Swish!"

The next moment, an invisible sword beam silently descended onto Ye Guyue's back, its unstoppable blade ready to slay her!

Invisible Sword!

This stealthy sword core had always been Lv Yang's favorite for ambush attacks, and he naturally wouldn't hold back now, waiting patiently within the Bloodsea.

In an instant, a metallic clanging erupted as divine energies burst forth. Another sword core had suddenly appeared and blocked the attack at the last moment.

Looking closer, Lv Yang saw the sword core's blade was extremely strange. It lacked the standard righteous aura, instead reflecting an alluring naked beauty, accompanied by the sound of silver bells. The laughter resonating against the Invisible Sword even made Lv Yang's divine consciousness tremble slightly.

"What in the world is that... A Demonic Corpse? A Pennant Spirit?"

Lv Yang withdrew his Invisible Sword, then chuckled: "Didn't expect the righteous Sword Pavilion, the leader of the orthodox sects, to use our Holy Sect's techniques?"

"Devil of Jiangbei, how could you understand the Sword Pavilion's profound methods?" Ye Guyue replied coldly. "My sword technique was formed from the energy of the Divine Weapon Realm, ranking second tier. Though it contains demonic energy, it's a righteous path for controlling demons!"

Almost simultaneously, Lv Yang felt a sudden warning in his heart.

The next moment, the Hundredfold Barriers Cloak radiated brilliant light as seven sword blades suddenly emerged from the void, all aiming directly for his vital points!

"Crack!"

The protective light didn't last long before shattering, but Lv Yang had already vanished from the spot, reappearing at a distance watching with interest.

He saw that behind each of the seven swords that had attacked him stood a naked beauty, smiling sweetly. Their forms were illusory and difficult to grasp, disappearing in the blink of an eye, completely disregarding Lv Yang's Array Art, moving and weaving freely!

"Nine Matron Celestial Demon Extermination Sword Art!"

Ye Guyue quickly formed a sword seal, and eight sword cores immediately floated around her. In the blink of an eye, they darted forward and slashed toward Lv Yang.

"Nice sword technique, but it's not yet complete, is it?" Lv Yang laughed loudly.

His Ultimate Heaven Instrument activated between his eyebrows. Using his divine sight, he quickly discerned the sword cores' true nature. The eight demonic swords were all fragmented sub-swords.

They still had a small vulnerability in their evasive movements.

"The number nine represents the ultimate. You should have nine swords. Only when the nine sub-swords unite into the mother sword will your sword core truly become powerful."

"Why hasn't it been completed? Oh right, I destroyed one of them earlier."

Lv Yang recalled how Ye Guyue had mysteriously escaped when he and Chong Ying launched a joint attack. Understanding suddenly dawned on him.

Meanwhile, Ye Guyue's expression turned grim. She had already done everything possible to conceal the karma, preventing Lv Yang from discerning her true strength. Yet he still managed to uncover the fundamentals of the Nine Matron Celestial Demon Extermination Sword technique. This eerie divination ability clearly defied normal logic. Could this person possess a Heavenly Mechanism treasure?

"This situation is getting dangerous", Ye Guyue thought, a shadow of concern crossing her mind. As Lv Yang had pointed out, her Nine Matron Celestial Demon Extermination Sword currently lacked one of its Celestial Demon swords.

Without that final Celestial Demon, she couldn't form the sword formation.

If this continued...

"...Will I lose?"

At this thought, Ye Guyue bit her lip, unwilling to admit it. However, Lv Yang's strength had indeed exceeded her expectations.

"Unless I can recover that last Celestial Demon."

Thinking this, Ye Guyue glanced toward the Treasure-Child. Her original plan was to use him for sword sacrifice to complete her sword technique.

That was why she had wanted the Treasure-Child to sacrifice himself earlier, but he had surrendered too quickly, leaving her without an opportunity. Not to mention now, locked in combat with Lv Yang, she couldn't spare the energy to kill the Treasure-Child either. After much consideration, the only viable option left was...

Ye Guyue shifted her gaze to Yun Zhiqiu by her side.

The coldness in her eyes made Yun Zhiqiu shudder involuntarily as he whispered: "...Senior?"

"Zhiqiu, this is your destined karma."

"Huh?"

Before Yun Zhiqiu could react, a sword beam pierced through his body, beheading him instantly. His flesh, blood, and power were completely consumed.

A shocked soul emerged on the spot.

"Zhiqiu, you've accomplished a great deed today. After Reincarnation, come find me. I'll grant you another chance at fortune", Ye Guyue said calmly, her expression serene.

To the Sword Pavilion, death was not an end.

Reincarnation was commonplace.

But the next moment, Yun Zhiqiu's soul wore a terrified expression. If it were an ordinary reincarnation, it would be fine... but he was currently in a state of depleted karmic fortune and merit!

With such a reincarnation, he would have to spend three to five lifetimes as livestock before he could be reborn as a human. By then, the five lifetimes' worth of Foundation Building time he had would be completely exhausted. And since he was only at the Early Foundation Building stage, even if he survived, he would struggle to overcome Prenatal Amnesia. What would be the difference between that and having his cultivation destroyed?

Unfortunately, he couldn't speak now.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Zhiqiu's soul, filled with resentment, fell into the cycle of reincarnation. Immediately, Ye Guyue summoned the ninth Celestial Demon.

"Evil cultivator, you took my junior brother's life. Today, you will pay with yours!"

Ye Guyue's eyes blazed with intensity. The nine Celestial Demons each held a sword, instantly merging into one. Two innate divine abilities further enhanced its power.

Armaments Sovereign!

Golden Radiance!

"A fine sharp sword", Lv Yang remarked, surprise evident on his face.

In an instant, a blazing sword beam like a flame erupted forth, evaporating the Bloodsea in its path. The sharp sword intent even made Lv Yang feel a pricking sensation between his eyebrows.

But the next moment, he smiled.

"But my sword is no less sharp!"

As he spoke, Lv Yang had already summoned the Avici Sword from his sleeve. It was brimming with blood light, clearly having been charging for a long time. At this moment, a piercing sword cry echoed out!

Within the Fortune Ground Fragment Realm, a blood-red arc of light soared into the sky.

The Nine Matron Celestial Demon Extermination Sword followed closely behind, one slash after another cutting through the air!

In an instant, a series of explosive sounds erupted across the heavens. Gigantic mushroom clouds intertwined with flying sparks of energy, almost tearing apart the entire Fortune Ground Fragment Realm!

Boom!

This collision completely shattered the Bloodsea Skycover Formation. Ye Guyue looked on in shock as her Nine Matron Celestial Demon Extermination Sword emitted a mournful cry. Ignoring her master's command, the sword immediately transformed into a beam of light and flew back into her sleeve, beyond her control!
