Chapter 536 Blood Moon Double Swords· The Demon Clan Befalling
“Haha… Bah!” Qi Qingshan burst into laughter and said angrily, “Although the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect is small in scale, we never allow ourselves to be trampled upon. The Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect in Sword Province is indeed super, but you bit-parts are too arrogant to destroy the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Today, I’ll kill you, four contemptible scoundrels, first, and show you the power of the long sword of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect!”
Before he finished speaking, Qi Qingshan raised his head to drink all the scarlet wine in his wine gourd and then threw the gourd aside.
His hair danced wildly like a waterfall pouring down. Sometimes he was like a G.o.d and sometimes like a demon. Then he suddenly clenched his fists in the void.
The next moment, two long crystal swords, which looked like they were carved from blood jade, appeared in his hand with a flash of light. In a twinkling of an eye, his momentum rose sharply from the eight-apertured Martial King Realm to the peak of the Martial King Realm and continued to increase…
“Is that… the Blood Jade Double Swords?”
w.a.n.g Juefeng’s heart gave a great thump as he watched the battle below.
The legendary sect-guarding precious weapon of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect actually appeared in the hands of his master.
It was the first time in more than 20 years that he had seen his master use a weapon.
Surrounded by crimson lights in the sky, Qi Qingshan held the Blood Jade Double Swords in his hand, with his momentum becoming even stronger. He broke through the Martial King Realm in one step and unexpectedly entered the Martial Emperor Realm. Like a burning red sun, he was unstoppable and gave off horrible aura in all directions, which scared all the martial artists within a few hundred miles. Such majesty was totally suffocating!
“Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking! Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking! Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking!”
Qi Qingshan’s momentum was as powerful as that of the War G.o.d, which drove the disciples of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect watching the battle crazy with excitement. They could not help cheering loudly.
Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking!
This word was seemingly imbued with magical power in the face of such an imminent catastrophe.
When the voice echoed between heaven and earth, everyone forgot their fear and pain. They only felt as if something in their bodies was going to explode, and their blood was burning wildly in their blood vessels, longing to fly into the sky with wings and fight with their Martial Uncles and Master!
“Haha… Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking! Kill!”
Qi Qingshan raised the crimson swords in front of his chest to form a cross and flashed away from the encirclement instantly.
The next moment, he appeared behind Han Yangjian. The cross-shaped sword radiance flowed out and drowned the arrogant and cruel man in an instant.
“You’re courting death!”
As the other three sword pract.i.tioners took action immediately as well, the incessant sword radiance converged toward them.
They were already experts at the peak of the Martial King Realm, so they could control their power freely without injuring others by accident. Moreover, the four of them had fought with each other numerous times and could cooperate tacitly.
However, Qi Qingshan burst out laughing and moved to the other side in a flash before the three of them could besiege him.
“Puff…” Han Yangjian spat out a mouthful of blood. Since the scarlet cross scar on his chest almost cut him into four pieces, he was completely startled and his face became pale.
The other three sword pract.i.tioners were also stunned.
As the most powerful one among them, Han Yangjian was only one step away from reaching the Half-step Martial Emperor Realm, but he actually got injured within one blow.
How could someone from such a small sect on the border master such terrifying combat techniques?
After succeeding in attacking Han Yangjian, Qi Qingshan flashed constantly without hesitation. Every time he flashed, he targeted a sword pract.i.tioner of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect and ruthlessly shot the cross-shaped crimson sword light, as if he were an unmatched G.o.d.
In a twinkling of an eye, the four great sword pract.i.tioners of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect were actually all injured.
Without high-level combat skills and the defensive Qi Precious Weapons, they would have been killed at this time rather than have escaped at the critical moment.
“Retreat!”
Han Yangjian shouted and retreated to the periphery of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain Range.
He was so ashamed and angry that his face turned black.
He was really humiliated in front of tens of thousands of martial artists of Snow Province, and his superiority complex of being a strong sword pract.i.tioner of Sword Province in the Northern Region was completely smashed. If this matter was spread to Sword Province, everyone would know that Heaven-splitting Four Swords of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect was defeated by an old man from a local sect and fled like a dog. At that time, he would definitely become a laughingstock.
However, while confronting the threat of death, they were indeed pluckless to turn around and continue to fight.
The weird and unpredictable tactics that Qi Qingshan had performed were beyond their imagination.
“Hahaha, the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect is just so-so…” Qi Qingshan laughed loudly in the sky and did not chase after them. With a flash of his body, several crimson sword lights shot down and instantly cut the experts who were fighting with Li Jianyi and his companions into minced meat.
“Ah…” Tie Zhan, the head of the Leiyin Sect, screamed and was cut into two pieces by the sword radiance.
In the blink of an eye, Saint Lord of Falling Star transformed into a cloud of mist to dodge, but one of his arms still exploded into a b.l.o.o.d.y mist the moment he touched the crimson sword light.
“Retreat!”
Fang Xiaoan, the head of the Tranquility Academy, Lu Xiongfei, and others were scared out of their lives. They shouted and fled down the mountain like lost dogs.
They had never expected that Qi Qingshan, who ranked second on the list of experts in Snow Province, could burst out such a powerful force that even the sword pract.i.tioners in Sword Province would fail to resist, especially Lu Xiongfei, who used to be the real top master in Snow Province. He, however, was no match for Qi Qingshan and fled immediately with amazement now.
At this time, anyone who paraded his ability was bound to die!
The grand Sect Array was filled with cheers.
Everyone roared uncontrollably.
They looked at the figure wreathed in crimson flames in the sky as if they were staring at the invincible War G.o.d.
Since he had turned the tide when disaster came, he was simply a G.o.d.
w.a.n.g Juefeng also shouted with excitement.
However, he was somewhat confused.
“When did Master reach the one-apertured Martial Emperor Realm? He has been cultivating in seclusion on Sword-hidden Peak these days. Did he make a breakthrough before the battle? This is a possibility. But it’s definitely hard to reach the Martial Emperor Realm, and it’s stranger that he hasn’t even gone through the Heaven Disaster!”
Li Jianyi and some others also flashed and went into the sky with ecstasy on their faces.
They were at a disadvantage in the previous battle, and the experts of the Six Peaks and Six Bases suffered heavy losses. Now, there were only three of them that had survived. Even the peak masters of the Sky Sword Peak, the Earth Evil Peak, and the Lingxiu Peak had also died, while Li Jianyi, Tang Folei, and Luo Lan were also badly injured.
If Qi Qingshan had not made vigorous efforts to turn the situation around at the crucial moment, all of them might have died on the mountain path today.
This was also the reason why Li Jianyi and the others did not take action before.
In terms of the number of masters, the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, after all, could not compare with dozens of joint sects. Once they got involved in the battle too early, Fang Xiaoan, Lu Xiongfei, and their a.s.sistants would take action immediately. In this way, the strategy of buying time deployed by the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect would have been completely invalid.
“Martial Uncle!” Li Jianyi was overjoyed and said, “You have actually reached the Martial Emperor Realm? That’s great!”
“Haha, now, we’re able to fight back!” Tang Folei was also very excited.
Qi Qingshan put on a calm look. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly changed his expression and looked eastward.
Li Jianyi also noticed it in an instant, so he turned his head to take a look.
Streaks of strong Demon Aura, like dark clouds, suddenly surged from the east and covered the part of the sky, changing the color of the earth. Thousands of experts of the Demon Clan were vaguely approaching, riding on clouds and fog. With war drums sounding and sword radiance glittering, various weird and horrible roars shook the heaven and the earth, faintly surrounding the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect mountain range in the shape of a half-moon.
“It’s the Demon Clan!”
“Terrible! Do these brutes intend to fish in troubled waters?”
Li Jianyi and the others all changed their faces.
Before they could take a break after defeating Fang Xiaoan and his companions, the Demon Clan, which had been stationed a hundred miles away, suddenly appeared in a group and came to look for trouble.
The cheers that had rung out from the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect below also stopped abruptly.
The prodigious Demon Aura, like clouds, blocked the light of the sun, casting a dark shadow on the ground, which suffocated the people around. The number of the experts of the Demon Clan was far more than that of the allied forces of Tranquility Academy, and the number of its top masters was not small either. As for the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, it had suffered heavy casualties, so they would absolutely be defeated if they fought against the Demon Clan at this point.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sound of the war drums of the Demon Clan echoed between heaven and earth.
Countless black shadows also appeared in the distant mountains.
It was an inferior army of the Demon Clan.
Although the group only consisted of some fierce beasts, Demon Soldier, and Demon Generals, their number exceeded one million. At this time, they surrounded the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect like a dark tide or a tsunami. This was the usual trick of the Demon Clan, that is to say, they would dispatch numerous inferiors of the Demon Clan as expendables to consume the strength of the Human Clan before the battle and then launch a devastating attack.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
The dark clouds bearing down on the city threatened to overwhelm it!
The air was suffocating.
Even Fang Xiaoan and the sword pract.i.tioners of the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect, who had already fled far away, were also shocked.
“The Demon Clan is actually launching an attack. That doesn’t meet regulations!”
“Dammit, we’ve fought so hard for so many days, and I didn’t expect to be taken advantage of by these brutes who break their word. I’ve told you that we can’t trust these alien races!”
The group of people became resentful.
As such, the painful price they had paid while fighting against the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect became a joke. The third camp, which was the Demon Clan, benefited from the battle.
“Hmph, it doesn’t matter. Let the Demon Clan kill them. It’s great that they destroy the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. As such, we don’t have to take the blame for killing people of our clan. The mysterious crystal is just an object, and we can take it back after they occupy the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain Range. At that time, everything will be ours!”
Han Yangjian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled sinisterly.
Fang Xiaoan frowned and said, “If the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain Range is in the charge of the Demon Clan, it will be very difficult for us to occupy it again!”
“What are you afraid of? Thousand Swords Killing Elder of our Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect will befall here in a few days. At that time, even if all the demons of the Demon Clan in Snow Province gather together, they will be killed.” Another sword pract.i.tioner scolded rudely.
Hearing what he said, Fang Xiaoan shut up.
