Chapter 436: Slaying the Demon!
Chapter 436: Slaying the Demon!
As Chu Ning waved the Yellow Wind Banner in his hand, his fingers tapped rapidly, unleashing several Void Finger techniques. He intended to disrupt the Ancient Abyssal Demon's ability to manipulate spatial powers and perform its secret art.
"Who exactly are you? How is it that you know so many ancient secrets?" The Ancient Abyssal Demon, inhabiting Ao Xuan's body, sensed the fluctuations of spatial power surrounding him.
Then, seeing the yellow earth dragon rushing towards him, he was taken aback.
At this moment, he also sensed something amiss with Chu Ning's Yellow Wind Banner.
That ancient treasure was clearly crafted by human cultivators during the great war between humans and demons in this realm to combat the forces of the demon realm.
It was unknown how the human cultivators had learned to create such treasures.
But having lived through that war, the demon knew full well the immense destructive power these ancient treasures possessed against beings like him.
According to his knowledge, most of these special treasures had been destroyed long ago, and the method of their creation had been lost to time.
If he saw one in the hands of a late Nascent Soul cultivator, he might accept it.
But he couldn't fathom how Chu Ning, a mere early Nascent Soul cultivator, had come to possess such a unique treasure.
After all, if such artifacts could be obtained so easily, they wouldn't have failed to discover one during their long infiltration of the human cultivators.
His exclamation of surprise was answered only by the roaring yellow earth dragon.
Seeing this, "Ao Xuan" quickly covered his right hand with demonic energy, swiftly regenerating his severed arm.
Then, with a flourish of his hands, he released two thick streams of purple-black demonic energy that took on the form of two gigantic snakes with bizarre shapes, soaring through the air to engage the yellow earth dragon.
These purple-black snakes had heads twice the size of their bodies, and even more strangely, each snake head had two smaller snake heads growing from it.
At this moment, the six snake heads reared up, continuously emitting silent sound waves.
In the next instant, the yellow earth dragon and the two purple-black snakes entwined with each other.
Yellow glow and purple-black demonic energy intertwined, stirring up the surrounding spiritual energy of the world.
In response, Chu Ning's eyes flickered, and he willed the Five Elements Spirit Sword to fly out of his hand once more, slicing down towards the Ancient Abyssal Demon!
"Everyone, attack together!"
Seeing the situation, Qu Yichen also shouted.
Immediately, the magical treasures of the others also joined the assault.
Although the Ancient Abyssal Demon had previously held them in contempt, his expression changed slightly at this onslaught.
Demonic energy surged from his body, transforming into purple rays of light to counter the incoming magical treasures.
However, when he saw the Five Elements Spirit Sword slicing down at him, his expression turned grave.
The demon opened his mouth and spat out another purple ray of light to intercept the descending sword.
But even with his formidable demonic powers, he found himself stretched thin, unable to focus on everything at once.
Qu Yichen's ancient zither treasure was the first to break through the demon's purple-black demonic energy, emitting rhythmic vibrations of white light before slamming into the demon's back.
Immediately after, Gu Yuexian's colorful bells also pierced through the demonic energy, striking the demon's right shoulder.
Although these attacks didn't seem to cause significant damage, a fierce glint flashed in the Ancient Abyssal Demon's eyes.
He reached out with his demonic arm, grabbing hold of Gu Yuexian's colorful bells.
Demonic energy flowed from his hands, seemingly taking control of the bells.
With a casual wave of his hand, the colorful bells were sent flying towards Chu Ning's Five Elements Spirit Sword, which was slicing through the purple rays.
"Fellow Daoist Chu!" Gu Yuexian cried out in alarm upon witnessing this.
Having seen the power of Chu Ning's sword earlier when it severed the demon's arm, she was keenly aware of its might. She feared that her bonded treasure would be truly destroyed if it was struck by the sword.
However, at that very moment, a thin red silk thread shot out from Chu Ning's hand.
The thread transformed into a thin red blood glow in the air and then wrapped around the colorful bells, which were enveloped in purple-black demonic energy, pulling them slightly off course and causing them to narrowly avoid the descending sword.
Unimpeded, the Five Elements Spirit Sword continued its descent towards "Ao Xuan"!
"Ao Xuan" was clearly taken aback by Chu Ning's peculiar and unpredictable methods, leaving him somewhat unprepared.
By the time he tried to dodge the slicing sword, it was too late. Without the ability to use spatial escape techniques, his evasive maneuvers were far slower than the sword's descent.
"Zzzzz!"
The sound of cutting rang out.
The Five Elements Spirit Sword cleaved through "Ao Xuan's" chest, leaving a gaping wound several inches long. Purple-black demonic energy flickered around the wound, but a hint of fresh blood still oozed out.
"Ao Xuan" looked down at his wound, and purple-black demonic energy flowed from his hand, which he then applied to his injury.
Immediately, the wound healed, returning to its original state.
Witnessing this, Chu Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.
It seemed that after possessing Ao Xuan's body, the demon had clearly demonized it to better accommodate his demonic powers.
As these thoughts crossed Chu Ning's mind, he glanced up at the yellow dragon and purple-black demonic snakes in the sky, which were gradually dissipating.
Waving the Yellow Wind Banner in his hand, he launched several attacks with streaks of yellow light, aiming directly at the Ancient Abyssal Demon.
At the same time, he repeatedly tapped out Void Finger techniques, restricting the demon's ability to employ spatial secret arts and forcing it to meet his attacks head-on.
But at this moment, the Ancient Abyssal Demon did not counter with demonic energy as it had before.
Instead, it waved its arms, summoning another purple-black demonic snake.
As soon as this snake appeared, it coiled beneath the demon's feet.
In the next instant, the black-violet demonic snake carried "Ao Xuan" and flew upwards, dodging the attack of the yellow earth dragon created by the Yellow Wind Banner.
"Trying to escape?"
Perceiving this, Chu Ning's thoughts stirred, and the Five Elements Spirit Sword, which had been waiting nearby, rushed forward.
It stabbed "Ao Xuan" in the back!
Feeling the piercing chill of the Five Elements Spirit Sword, the Ancient Abyssal Demon gathered its purple-black demonic energy to resist.
However, its torso, which was clearly less demonized than its arms, was unable to withstand the sword's assault.
"Quickly!"
Chu Ning's fingers moved swiftly, and in the next moment, the Five Elements Spirit Sword penetrated the Ancient Abyssal Demon's body and then emerged from its chest.
A huge gaping hole now adorned its chest.
Purple-black demonic energy and fresh blood seeped out simultaneously, creating an eerie sight.
"Ao Xuan" raised his palms once more, channeling demonic energy towards the gaping wound on his chest.
But this time, the massive injury could not be sealed in a short time.
Just as the demon attempted to infuse more demonic energy, it abruptly raised its head, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes as it gazed upwards.
A streak of yellow light suddenly shot forth, dazzling in its intensity. It transformed into a yellow dragon in mid-air.
Although this dragon resembled the previous yellow earth dragon in form, it now seemed substantial, and the spiritual energy emanating from it far surpassed what it had been before.
Taking advantage of the demon's slowed movements due to its injury, Chu Ning had activated the Yellow Wind Banner's true offensive power!
Witnessing the might of the Yellow Wind Banner, a trace of fear flashed in the Ancient Abyssal Demon's eyes for the first time.
At this moment, he could no longer spare any attention for healing his chest wound.
He waved his hands, and two purple demonic snakes appeared.
One snake confronted the yellow earth dragon formed by the Yellow Wind Banner.
The other flew beneath his feet once more, carrying him away in flight.
However, as soon as the purple demonic snake in the air made contact with the yellow earth dragon, it was instantly shattered into strands of purple-black demonic energy that dissipated in the sky.
The Yellow Wind Banner locked onto "Ao Xuan," who was fleeing upwards, and pursued relentlessly!
Its speed far surpassed that of the Ancient Abyssal Demon.
In just the blink of an eye, it had reached him.
"Ohh!"
An inhuman, piercing howl escaped "Ao Xuan's" mouth.
Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.
As purple-black demonic energy surged, "Ao Xuan's" entire body shattered into pieces.
His flesh and blood transformed into purple-black demonic energy.
In an instant, only a dense cloud of purple-black demonic energy remained, floating in the air like a cloud.
At the same time, the yellow dragon formed by the Yellow Wind Banner arrived and slammed into the cloud of demonic energy!
Subsequently, the yellow dragon penetrated the demonic cloud, causing the yellow radiance to vanish beneath the shroud of purple-black energy.
Witnessing this, Qu Yichen and the others couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions.
Up until now, only Chu Ning's Yellow Wind Banner and Five Elements Spirit Sword had been able to inflict damage on the demon.
If even Chu Ning's Yellow Wind Banner was destroyed by this Ancient Abyssal Demon...
Everyone's gazes fell on Chu Ning, who was flying close behind the Yellow Wind Banner.
At this moment, Chu Ning's face did not show much panic or astonishment.
Although the Yellow Wind Banner was enveloped by demonic energy, he could still sense the presence of his signature treasure.
Standing ten feet away from the purple-black demonic cloud, Chu Ning formed a series of intricate hand seals with both hands.
He also chanted obscure incantations.
Immediately, a mysterious talisman appeared before Chu Ning.
"Quickly!"
Accompanied by Chu Ning's soft drink, the talisman shot forward and landed on the purple-black demonic cloud.
Countless streams of spiritual energy converged on that spot, and a wisp of yellow radiance suddenly emerged from within the demonic cloud.
One wisp, two wisps... a hundred wisps.
In just a single breath's time, the yellow radiance within the demonic cloud burst forth explosively.
Then, the purple-black demonic cloud exploded!
The yellow radiance filled the sky like a scorching sun, illuminating everything.
Wherever the radiance touched, the purple-black demonic energy melted away like snow in spring, vanishing without a trace!
These two days I'll be on a business trip, so updates may be a bit irregular. I'll try to update during lunchtime tomorrow, but if I can't, it'll have to be in the evening~
