Chapter 803: The Despicable Sword is Also Despicable! [Three-in-One] (Part 2)
But this Night Demon in front of him actually kept up with him step by step as he gradually increased his strength!
"Come on!"
With a long roar, under the gaze of everyone, the Night Demon leaped high, gripping his long sword, "Heaven-Splitting Slash!"
Across from him, Shi Changjian gritted his teeth and charged forward without dodging or avoiding.
A loud boom resounded.
Fang Che staggered backward; he had already unleashed his full strength to clash with the other.
First level of the Sage Realm.
Fang Che let out a muffled hum, but the Dark Emperor Sword in his hand emitted a clear and proud sword cry.
Like a victorious child, he was proud and looked down from above: "Trash! Now you know how powerful I am, right?"
Shi Changjian's body remained unmoved.
He seemed to have the upper hand, but the sword in his hand let out a mournful cry.
Obviously, it had taken a hit from the Dark Emperor Sword: "Ouch, that hurts..."
In the battle of cultivation, Fang Che was at a disadvantage. In the clash of weapons, the Dark Emperor Sword held an absolute advantage.
Shi Changjian's heart, however, held no joy. Although he had the upper hand, this was already his full strength.
Although he could sense that the other's strength had reached its limit, he still couldn't claim an overwhelming advantage.
But the other's sword could make up for their power disadvantage.
Thus, it was basically a draw.
Next, it was a battle of skills.
After the two bodies collided, they suddenly pulled apart, returning to a standoff.
Yan Beihan saw Fang Che stagger and retreat, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Shi Changjian's current cultivation is at the Sage King level. The Night Demon is at a disadvantage in this aspect."
Bing Tianxue said, "However, the Night Demon has already forced Shi Changjian to reveal his true cultivation. He won't hide it anymore. This way, the battle situation becomes clearer, and from today on, even if Shi Changjian hides his cultivation, it will be useless."
"Yes."
The other old demons nodded, their eyes filled with approval.
After the situation became clear, no matter how high your cultivation was, there would always be someone on our side to match you.
What we feared was that you would keep hiding it, making it impossible to gauge your strength. If we sent someone with lower cultivation, they would be at a disadvantage, and if we sent someone with higher cultivation, it would be ridiculed as bullying.
The Night Demon had already achieved this, which made everyone feel a bit relieved. After all, Shi Changjian had always been hiding his true strength, and even the old demons couldn't see through it. When asked by Yan Beihan, the leader, he could only blush and say he didn't know, which was really embarrassing...
Now, the Night Demon had, in a way, vented everyone's frustration.
On the other side, those who could see through the situation, like Qu Wuhui, had solemn expressions.
"The Night Demon's reputation is well-deserved."
An elder's eyes grew solemn, "This battle doesn't look promising."
"Yes, his true cultivation has been forced to the surface."
"We've always heard that the Night Demon is cruel, but his schemes and methods..."
Qu Wuhui frowned and said, "Changjian still has the upper hand in terms of strength. However, the other party will probably not clash head-on with him from this moment on."
The others nodded in agreement.
"The real battle has begun."
Someone said.
Everyone immediately turned to look.
Indeed, the battle in the field had turned into two phantoms.
In this moment, the clash of just two people suddenly resembled hundreds or even thousands fighting in a crowded space.
The air was tense and chaotic, with a variety of emotions swirling around.
Those who were able to sit in this situation were all experienced and knowledgeable individuals.
"The long sword first used the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique, then the Autumn Wind Sword, and now the Long Sky Sword Technique. But the Night Demon consistently uses the Blood Spirit Seven Swords, alternating between two sets of the technique, back and forth."
One person spoke up, "However, in this battle, the long sword has the upper hand, launching eight out of ten attacks. The Night Demon doesn't show obvious signs of being at a disadvantage because of their swift movements, constantly dodging, blocking, and occasionally countering, only to be immediately suppressed."
"But now, it's clear that both sides have realized they've met their match, a true opponent. So, the current advantage doesn't guarantee victory."
Yan Beihan's side seemed to be in agreement.
Bi Yunyan grew anxious, "It seems like the Night Demon is being forced into a disadvantage."
"Don't worry," Yan Beihan reassured, "The Night Demon will win!"
Bing Tianxue frowned, "Little Han, why are you so confident about the Night Demon? It's obvious that their cultivation is inferior, and if their sword technique is suppressed, it'll be truly disastrous."
Yan Beihan remained calm and confident, "Rest assured, Ice Auntie, there's no need to worry."
Bing Tianxue was perplexed, "Then tell me why."
Yan Beihan evaded, "I just have confidence."
Internally, he thought, 'How can this guy lose when he hasn't even used all the tricks he used against me? He's still using the basic and least powerful Blood Spirit Seven Swords, and hasn't brought out the others yet.'
It seemed that he had truly understood his intentions.
On the stage, the Night Demon's sword technique suddenly changed, and their aura soared. Surprisingly, in the midst of the battle, they added a fusion attack!
The Blood Spirit Seven Swords, carrying the power of heaven and earth, and accompanied by countless ghosts, attacked simultaneously.
The Pagoda Sect members fell silent, their faces growing solemn.
The fact that the Night Demon could introduce a fusion attack while at a disadvantage meant something significant, and everyone understood it.
Reserves of strength!
Calmness!
Shi Changjian's sword technique also changed, and a gust of wind and star formation suddenly emerged, with the sound of the wind howling. But the sword light arrived before the wind, and the second sword's tip was faster than the first sword's wind!
"What a Wind Chasing Sword!" Bing Tianxue exclaimed in admiration, "The second sword's tip is faster than the first sword's wind! The Pagoda Sect's signature sword technique truly lives up to its reputation."
Instantly, the members of the Pagoda Sect glared at Bing Tianxue like knives.
Bing Tianxue remained fearless, responding with a cold smile.
You just praised the Night Demon's sword as a divine metal weapon, wasn't that against the rules? How dare you criticize me now?
On the stage, Fang Che also seemed to understand something.
Shi Changjian's sword was fast, but it followed a certain pattern. Each sword carried a howling sword wind, but the true killing move came after the first sword.
Just as Bing Tianxue said, the second sword's speed reached an extreme, faster than the first sword's wind. Moreover, the direction of the first sword's howling wind was different from the direction of the second sword's tip attack.
Each sword seemed fast, but in reality, it maintained a uniform high speed! This sword technique was extremely rare and unsettling.
Fang Che's Blood Spirit Seven Swords gradually struggled to withstand the attack. The key to the Blood Spirit Seven Swords was 'point' and 'stab', which required exceptionally high wrist skills.
However, the Blood Spirit Seven Swords had a unique feature: 'Killing without drawing blood, with only a red dot under the sword.'
Therefore, it relied on retracting and swirling to create speed, but it couldn't keep up with the opponent's 'stabbing' acceleration. Fang Che's 'stabbing' method couldn't match the speed.
Fang Che spun, his sword blade horizontal, as if supporting the heavens.
The star formation surged, and the sword energy formed a sudden, towering wave.
Shi Changjian's Wind Chasing Sword was directly 'supported' by the attack.
A lightning-fast kick thundered into Shi Changjian's chest.
Shi Changjian grunted and staggered back, but his long sword kept striking as he retreated, blocking Fang Che's pursuit.
"What a pity!"
Bing Tianxue sighed, "Using the Heaven Supporting Sword here is a stroke of genius. It's just a shame that it's only a partial sword intent and not the complete Heaven Supporting Sword intent. Otherwise, with that support, it could have flipped the opponent over, and the kick could have landed on the dantian or the heart, instead of just a kick. Truly a pity! Who taught the Heaven Supporting Sword, but didn't teach it completely?"
Yan Beihan also found it regrettable.
Bing Tianxue was right. Many attacks were improvised, so it often seemed strange to those who didn't understand: you could clearly slash them with a sword, but why change it to a punch or a kick?
Was this letting the opponent off too obviously?
But only experts knew that in such moments, they couldn't manage to slash with a sword or swing a blade.
Just like Fang Che's kick, he could only kick and couldn't change it to a toe kick on the spot! Because during the change, Shi Changjian could calmly retreat.
Moreover, Fang Che's posture only allowed him to kick, not support a toe kick.
Understanding or not, this was the greatest difference between an insider and an outsider.
"The Night Demon must change. The incomplete Heaven Supporting Sword intent can't support them in a stalemate, let alone surpass their level."
Bing Tianxue's precise evaluation wasn't finished yet.
Shi Changjian had transformed into a whirlwind, their figure blurred, and suddenly rushed back. On the stage, hundreds of Shi Changjian's figures appeared, and the sword light poured down like a golden lotus from all directions, above and below.
On both sides of the stands, everyone could clearly hear the 'hissing' sound of the sword energy, and each strand carried a complete 'formation'! It was one of the Pagoda Sect's ultimate techniques, the Floating World Sword Technique!
Just as the Night Demon was completely submerged, a sudden sword cry reverberated through the air!
An extreme cold intent suddenly spread from the stage.
The Night Demon had completely transformed into a silver figure, and a layer of white frost instantly formed on the stage. The falling snow within dozens of zhang around was instantly frozen in midair by the extreme cold.
Glimmering cold stars reflected countless six-pointed star sword energies.
Each of Shi Changjian's swords was countered precisely! Each strand of sword energy also carried the extreme cold formation of heaven and earth!
Both sides of the stands were shocked.
Qu Wuhui's eyes froze.
On this side, several old demons, including Bing Tianxue, stared with wide eyes.
Yan Beihan, Chen Xue, Feng Xue, Bi Yunyan, and the others were all wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost.
This scene was all too familiar to them.
Ice Soul Sword!
The secret technique of Bai Jing, the Deputy Head of the Only Righteous Sect, was a formidable skill. His nickname, 'Ice Soul', was derived from this sword technique.
Its power was so great that it was awe-inspiring.
It was rumored that Bai Jing had once frozen three thousand li with a single sword strike.
Bing Tianxue, in particular, had a look of wonder in her eyes, as if she had found a treasure.
Because... this was the battle partner she had always dreamed of.
The Cold Demon, Bing Tianxue, and Bai Jing's extreme cold Ice Soul, greatly enhanced her combat power.
For example, Bai Jing and Bing Tianxue, when fighting together, should not have been a match for Xue Fu Xiao. However, under Bai Jing's Ice Soul Domain, Bing Tianxue's combat power could be continuously enhanced, making it possible for the two of them to defeat Xue Fu Xiao.
Although this was just an ideal deduction and not a fact, the combined power of the two was evident.
Unfortunately, Bai Jing, as the Deputy Head, would rather have his head chopped off by Xue Fu Xiao than cooperate with Bing Tianxue to besiege her.
So, it was just a hypothetical idea.
However, at this moment, Night Demon had unleashed the complete Ice Soul Sword!
Moreover, he had already formed the initial stage of the Extreme Cold Domain—just by looking at the falling snow in the air, which would freeze and become immobile at a certain height, one could tell that Night Demon's Ice Soul Sword had reached an extremely high level of proficiency!
Bing Tianxue's eyes lit up with excitement, and she couldn't help but whisper in admiration, "Not bad, not bad at all. This Night Demon kid is really something!"
Even Yan Beihan was puzzled: When did Night Demon learn the Ice Soul Sword? How come I didn't know about it?
If Yan Beihan didn't know, then Bi Yunyan and Feng Xuechenxue were even more clueless.
In the arena, every sword aura clashed fiercely, but after the collisions, the sparks that were produced were also frozen and suspended in the air by the Ice Soul Sword Intent.
The refracting sword light created a colorful spectacle.
For a moment, their battle presented a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.
Bi Yunyan was mesmerized by the sight, and she muttered, "Little Yan... When did this ugly killer learn the Ice Soul Sword? When did White Ancestor teach him? This sword technique, after so many years, has never been passed down to any disciple, not even to the White family. How did this ugly killer learn it?"
Yan Beihan, fully focused on the battle, replied without hesitation, "You're the ugly killer, and your whole family are ugly killers."
Bi Yunyan was shocked.
Holy crap!
What's going on? I just asked a question, why am I being scolded? On the other side, the people from Pagoda Sect were also fully engrossed, not daring to breathe.
Shi Changjian's body was already covered in blood.
Fighting in such an extreme cold domain was an extremely harsh and painful experience for Shi Changjian.
The space of the arena was also frozen and sealed by the extreme cold.
Therefore, every move he made had to first break free from this extreme cold freeze.
In contrast, Night Demon could take advantage of this extreme cold freeze because he was the one who created it.
Under these circumstances, the gap in cultivation between the two sides was leveled, and Night Demon even had the upper hand. The divine metal sword intent completely suppressed Shi Changjian's long sword.
It even started to absorb Shi Changjian's sword intent on its own.
Even Fang Che himself was surprised by this.
What Fang Che didn't know was that this was the true purpose of the divine metal: to absorb the spiritual sword intent of the opponent's weapon.
All weapons that were not made of divine metal, especially those of experts, were not ordinary iron.
After years of companionship and nurturing, they would develop a sense of mutual understanding. This was not an illusion but a result of the weapons developing their own spirituality over time.
Once divine metal weapons reached a certain level of maturity, they could continuously absorb the opponent's spirituality during combat, causing the opponent's weapon to eventually turn into ordinary iron or even become inferior to it! This would cause the enemy's combat power to drop significantly, while the user's power would increase, creating a situation where one side gained while the other lost.
This was the first time Fang Che's divine metal weapon had shown its true potential after being nurtured for so long.
The Dark Emperor Sword was unleashed!
With each sword clash, the Dark Emperor Sword emitted a pleasant and refreshing sword cry, as if it were cheering on the side, "So comfortable..."
Shi Changjian's long sword began to show the first crack.
He tried his best to avoid collisions, and finally, with a long howl, his body suddenly erupted with clusters of crimson fire-like spiritual energy, like lava, forming a raging torrent. Wherever it passed, the Ice Soul Extreme Domain melted away.
Hot air rose in clusters, and the snow in the air began to fall again!
The one-sided battle was suddenly turned around by Shi Changjian in an instant.
The people from Pagoda Sect had extremely unpleasant expressions on their faces.
The sect leader, Qu Wuhui, sighed.
Star Burning Art.
The Star Burning Art was the number one secret technique of the Pagoda Sect that Shi Changjian had cultivated since childhood!
It was also Shi Changjian's final trump card.
With the Star Burning Art unleashed, Fang Che, who had practiced the Ice Soul Sword for less than a year, was no match. With a loud bang, Fang Che was knocked back by Shi Changjian's sword.
They reestablished their distance.
But everyone realized that the sound of the two swords clashing just now was not right.
Night Demon's sword emitted a cheerful and refreshing sword cry, while the opponent's sword produced a sound that didn't belong to metal, but rather a crisp shattering sound like crystal.
This was a sign that the sword had been completely destroyed.
Sure enough, Shi Changjian's sword also shattered in that instant.
The long sword in Shi Changjian's hand broke into pieces of dull iron, falling at his feet.
Only the hilt remained in his hand.
The long sword in Night Demon's hand, flashing with cold light, rang out with a clear and crisp sword cry on its own.
Even a fool could tell that the sword was expressing its pride through its sword cry.
It was almost overflowing.
Bing Tianxue rolled her eyes, "This divine metal sword soul of Night Demon... How come it feels so despicable!"
