Chapter 1339: Chapter 1341: Swallowing Chapter 1339: Chapter 1341: Swallowing Song Jian raised the Sky-breaking Sword towards the passenger plane. With his current strength, all it would take was a gentle swing, and the fierce Sword Qi would slice the entire plane in half, sparing no one aboard. This was the simplest and quickest method to stop the three-headed demon from regaining its power.
However, Song Jian hesitated for a full five seconds with the sword raised before he eventually let out a sigh and lowered the Sky-breaking Sword.
“Over a hundred lives…” Song Jian murmured to himself.
In the gaming world, Song Jian could act without restraint, even attacking human characters with impunity. In his view, the human characters in the game were but NPCs, mere data. But now, in the real world, that was over a hundred living, breathing lives!
“This is the only way!” Thinking this, Song Jian turned around, fixing his gaze on the three-headed demon struggling fiercely. At this moment, only one third of its soul overlapped with its body, with most of its soul already extracted by the Soul-Devouring Aura.
But it was this remaining third that seemed to have fused with the body and couldn't be pulled out, which made the three-headed demon tempt the pilots on the passenger plane even more desperately, luring them to fly towards it.
“Die!” Song Jian raised the Sky-breaking Sword and fiercely cleaved at the three-headed demon.
A trace of Chaotic Sword Qi emerged from his dantian. After pausing briefly within, it surged through his meridians towards the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand. Song Jian felt as if molten lava was flowing through his veins, a scorching pain tearing through his whole body in an instant.
This sensation was as if his body was too fragile to withstand the Chaotic Sword Qi coursing within him.
“Open the Heavens!”
A fierce look appeared on Song Jian's face, he endured the pain and executed the move he had comprehended from the Chaos Sword Canon.
An axe-like, sharp Sword Qi solidified in the air, emitting a low, wailing sound as it chopped towards the three-headed demon.
The demon's body stiffened as if it had been targeted by a natural predator. In the eyes of the goat head and the Giant Dragon head, one could see a hint of fear emerging, as if some terrible memory was slowly surfacing in their minds.
“Chaos…” the Giant Dragon head roared, its head desperately pulling to one side as if trying to escape from its body.
The goat and skeleton heads both issued fearful screams, their expressions one of disbelief, even giving up resisting the Soul-Devouring Aura. This caused the previously fixed soul to be torn out by seven eighths in an instant, leaving only an arm and a leg merged with the body, while most of the soul had been pulled out.
The Sword Qi Sky-Axe exuded a sense of desolation and vastness as though wielded by a giant, fiercely chopping towards the chaos. Such might, surely only gods and demons could withstand; mortals had no chance of resistance or counterattack in the face of this strike.
It was a pity that Song Jian hadn't fully mastered the Chaos Sword Canon, and had only grasped a trace of the Chaotic Force. This axe strike, though a mere formality, lacked the essence of the Sky-Axe!
Yet, this insubstantial blow, hardly even skin-deep, caused the three-headed demon to give up its resistance completely and endure the strike with its body.
Crack~
The body, as tough as epic-grade materials, was split in two by the strike, even shattering the central skeleton head. The body cracked open from the top down to the abdomen, with the goat head on the left and the Giant Dragon head on the right teetering on their halved torsos.
“You are not even close to…” The goat head showed an expression of angry disbelief.
Just then, seven chains of Soul-Devouring Aura condensed and with a fierce tug, finally pulled out the souls of the three demons from their bodies.
“No!”
A faint roar of anger and utter despair resonated through the air!
The seven strands of Soul-Devouring Aura, sharp as blades, split the entire soul of the three demons into seven parts, each chain clutching a seventh of the soul and retracting back into the tower.
The Sword Qi Stone Tower from the first to the seventh floor radiated brightly, beginning to devour and digest the souls of the three demons–which for the Sword Qi Stone Tower were an unparalleled delicacy!
Looking at the slowly vanishing Sword Qi Stone Tower in the sky, Song Jian's mouth curled into a smile. He knew well that ever since the Thousand Swords Art had been elevated to level twelve, it had been difficult to upgrade further. Each level up consumed a vast amount of resources, too great even for Song Jian to bear.
However, the fact that the Sword Qi Stone Tower could devour the souls of powerful monsters and enhance the proficiency of the Thousand Swords Art significantly relieved the pressure on Song Jian to improve it.
Yet, it was extremely rare for a boss to endure until the Thousand Swords Art evolved into the Sword Qi Stone Tower, and moreover, the Tower had to be fully utilized to subdue it. Such bosses were few and far between, so the proficiency of the Thousand Swords Art had always hovered at one-third and couldn't increase!
Now, the Sword Qi Stone Tower had finally consumed enough souls, and the power of these souls necessitated the use of all seven layers of the tower. One could imagine that once the Sword Qi Stone Tower finished devouring and digesting, the Thousand Swords Art would at least rise by one level, and it might even jump several levels. Song Jian was filled with anticipation.
In the cockpit of a distant airliner, two pilots, as if waking from a dream, violently shook their heads, experiencing a brief lapse in memory.
“Air China T678, Air China T678, you have deviated from the flight path, you have strayed from the course, please return to the correct air route as soon as possible…” An urgent voice echoed from the communicator.
“What, what happened to me?” The pilot glanced at the instrument panel, surprised to find that he had unknowingly disengaged the autopilot and reverted to manual control. Under normal circumstances, the aircraft would switch to autopilot mode after climbing to this altitude.
The pilot hurried into action, performing a series of maneuvers to bring the aircraft back on course. After finding a random excuse to explain the situation to the control tower, he felt an overwhelming exhaustion wash over him.
“What's going on? It's like I haven't rested for a day and a night, so tired~” The pilot couldn't help but yawn.
“Brother Wang, what just happened? I can't remember anything at all!” A young man sitting in the co-pilot's seat, his face haggard and eyes bloodshot, inquired.
The pilot turned his head to look at him, his eyes also filled with bewilderment.
All the passengers on the plane appeared exhausted, and their memories also contained a short blank. This turned the flight into a tale of a paranormal event that spread far and wide. What they didn't know was that they had been a step away from the Death God.
At that moment, Song Jian, carrying the corpses of the three demons, had descended to the sea surface. These were genuine demon corpses, which, if not handled properly, could cause tremendous pollution.
Just as Song Jian was worrying over the corpse, which was no less valuable than that of an epic creature, he suddenly noticed that the entire body of the three-headed demon began to disintegrate on its own. In no time at all, the demon corpse had vanished, replaced by a treasure chest about a meter square that appeared before Song Jian.
“Is this, is this a treasure chest?” Song Jian stared dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes vigorously and couldn't help exclaiming, “This is the real world, how could there be a treasure chest here, am I hallucinating…”
