Chapter 89: Heavenly Sword Slays Demon
Rumble!!
Terrifying vibrations echoed throughout the entire city, as gazes filled with horror all turned toward this side.
Someone had previously seen that blood light land above the Wang Clan, and just as they turned their gazes over, such a change occurred in an instant.
Screams rose one after another, many voices cut off almost as soon as they emerged, torn to pieces by saber qi.
Even Wang Qinghe, this Gang Yuan Realm master, was the same, with no ability to resist whatsoever.
In an instant.
The Hua Mansion collapsed into ruins, blood flowed like rivers, and tens of thousands lay dead.
Old Demon Lin laughed heartily with delight.
The Wang Clan without a Heavenly Human Realm master was as weak as ants in his eyes.
Wherever the streaks of blood-colored saber qi passed, nothing could block them; from a void overlook, the crisscrossing saber marks were exceptionally terrifying.
In just a few short breaths, the Wang Clan, glorious for hundreds of years, was nearly wiped out.
Only a few scattered lucky survivors trembled amid the ruins.
Old Demon Lin sneered as he glanced toward the rear, then once again turned into blood light and soared into the sky.
If it were ordinary times, he could slowly eradicate them root and stem, but now Divine Feather Great General was pursuing closely, and he couldn’t waste too much time. His earlier full outburst had only bought him a few breaths.
“Divine Feather, if you have the skill, keep following. If you anger this seat, this seat will slaughter a few cities for you to see!” Old Demon Lin laughed wildly.
A few demonstrative blood-colored saber lights fell into the city, causing another wave of deaths and injuries, scaring countless onlookers into shrinking back.
Divine Feather Great General arrived above the Wang Clan mansion turned to ruins, his face ashen.
He had been pursuing Old Demon Lin for over half a day.
During this time, Old Demon Lin would occasionally burst into acceleration to try shaking him off, and he had grown accustomed to it.
Just now, when Old Demon Lin burst into acceleration again, he as usual lagged behind, never expecting Old Demon Lin to veer off and exterminate the Wang Clan.
Only then did Divine Feather Great General understand Old Demon Lin’s true purpose.
Unfortunately.
It was already too late.
Looking at the nearly annihilated Wang Clan, Divine Feather Great General suppressed his anger, knowing this was Old Demon Lin retaliating against Wang Family Old Ancestor, but it was also slapping him, Divine Feather Great General, and the Great Yan Dynasty in the face. Wang Family Old Ancestor had been working for the Imperial Court; if there was no explanation this time, who would dare work hard for the court afterward.
“It seems I need to give Wang Quan more compensation afterward.” He thought silently in his heart.
Below.
Some Wang Clan survivors cried out to Divine Feather Great General:
“Sir, please seek justice for our Wang Clan!”
Some of them had extremely luckily hidden in remote corners, just avoiding the blood-colored saber qi, while others were outside the mansion and had personally witnessed the Wang Clan’s tragedy. At this moment, they were all dazed, struck by sudden disaster, not even knowing who the enemy was.
Divine Feather Great General did not speak, merely nodding slowly.
He stared fixedly at the blood light fading in the distance, a green light blooming from his bosom as he pursued once more.
He had no time to stay and handle the aftermath. In a moment, the remaining Heavenly Human Realm experts would arrive, and they could deal with it then.
…
A moment later.
Green Ox Swordsman arrived at this city first. The commotion within the city made him frown; the lingering fluctuations of heaven and earth power quickly allowed him to lock onto the source of the disturbance.
Wang Clan mansion.
But now it was a pile of ruins.
The city prefect and numerous martial way experts all gazed in horror at the ruins before them, handling the aftermath. At this time, they sensed astonishing fluctuations coming from afar again, hearts pounding wildly as they hurriedly looked over.
Someone recognized Green Ox Swordsman’s identity and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“What happened here?”
A Wang Clan disciple tearfully recounted the earlier events.
Green Ox Swordsman’s expression shifted from prior anger to something increasingly strange.
“That Old Demon Lin exterminated the Wang Clan during his escape?”
A thought inexplicably rose in his heart: retribution comes swiftly.
But he did not voice it.
“Green Ox Senior, please seek justice for us!”
Green Ox Swordsman did not speak, merely nodding slightly, then soared into the sky once more, pursuing along the aura trail left by Divine Feather Great General.
What did the Wang Clan disaster have to do with him?
Not kicking them when they were down already counted as him being morally upright!
The congregation exchanged glances.
…
Another moment passed.
Tumultuous fluctuations surged from the horizon once more, filling everyone’s hearts with horror, their hearts thumping non-stop, completely unsure what evil they had encountered today—why Heavenly Human Realm masters were appearing like cabbages, one crop after another.
Especially this batch, far more numerous than before.
But some recognized a few familiar faces among them, especially the Wang Clan disciples, who were nearly weeping with joy.
“Old Ancestor! Old Ancestor, you’ve finally returned!”
The remaining Wang Clan survivors found their pillar, crying heart-wrenchingly.
“It’s all gone!”
“Hundreds of years of foundation, all gone!”
“Old Ancestor, you must avenge the family head and them—they died so miserably!”
Wang Family Old Ancestor landed before the “familiar ruins,” listening to the cries around him, his mind dazed as if in a dream.
He stepped out for a trip, and home was gone?
His eyes bloodshot red, he stared deathly at a clan member beside him, voice hoarse:
“What exactly happened?”
Listening to that clan member’s sobs, Wang Family Old Ancestor let out an “ah” of anguished cry, his body swaying as he spat out a mouthful of essence blood. His already withered state worsened to the extreme.
Only then did people notice something wrong with Wang Family Old Ancestor’s condition—one arm was missing!
All were horrified.
“Old Ancestor, your arm?”
Wang Family Old Ancestor turned a deaf ear, merely roaring to the heavens:
“Old Demon Lin, I share no heaven with you!!”
The others saw Wang Family Old Ancestor’s mad state, expressions varied. Several Imperial Court Heavenly Human experts gently comforted him, while Dragon Mountain Daoist and the other two remained calm, secretly delighted inside—especially Carefree Lord, who silently cursed in his heart: self-inflicted disaster, beyond salvation.
But Dragon Mountain Daoist’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
He recalled the saber strike Old Demon Lin had launched at Wang Family Old Ancestor and himself before breaking out earlier.
Did this mean Old Demon Lin harbored the deepest hatred toward him and Wang Family Old Ancestor?
Now, even in flight, Old Demon Lin hadn’t forgotten to exterminate the Wang Clan—evident of his vindictive nature. After the Wang Clan, what next?
Dragon Mountain Daoist sensed the aura left by Divine Feather Great General, and upon seeing the direction it extended, his face gradually darkened.
That was… True Martial Mountain!
In an instant.
He could sit still no longer.
If Old Demon Lin exterminated True Martial Mountain, he would probably go madder than Wang Family Old Ancestor.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Dragon Mountain Daoist instantly erupted, even directly using Unity of Heaven and Man Secret Technique to accelerate himself, vanishing into the horizon in a blink.
His heart burned with anxiety.
The others exchanged glances, somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Dragon Mountain Daoist was suddenly so desperate.
Only Carefree Lord, who knew Dragon Mountain Daoist well, had his pupils shrink as he realized something. He whispered a few words to White River True Person, and the two also shot into the sky.
The remaining Heavenly Humans gave a few instructions before also pursuing.
Only Wang Family Old Ancestor remained, gazing blankly at the horizon.
His spirits were low, unsure if his schemes had been right or wrong—like drawing water with a bamboo basket, all for naught.
“Old Ancestor, you must pull yourself together—our Wang Clan can’t be without you!” Wang Clan members pleaded tearfully. “Without the main mansion, we still have the ancestral land, still have branches. You absolutely cannot fall!”
Wang Family Old Ancestor’s body shook, suddenly snapping awake.
Right, there was still the ancestral land, still remaining clan members.
There was still a chance to start over!
He could not fall.
Falling meant everything was over.
He took a deep breath, gave a few instructions, then also shot into the sky.
“Old Demon Lin, I must personally watch you die!”
Wang Family Old Ancestor’s eyes burned with towering hatred.
…
In the night sky.
Divine Feather Great General and Old Demon Lin continued one chasing, one fleeing.
A full day and night had passed since the Dead Fire Abyss battle. Even with their secret treasures and secret techniques, both auras were somewhat withered.
But Divine Feather Great General dared not relax.
With the Wang Clan as a precedent, henceforth whenever Old Demon Lin neared a city, Divine Feather Great General would immediately burst in speed, sticking tightly. If Old Demon Lin dared strike, he could seize the chance to close the distance.
Old Demon Lin could only give up.
He had originally wanted to casually fling a few saber qis at opportunities, but seeing Divine Feather Great General watching closely, he didn’t want to stir trouble for irrelevant people. He needed to hold back a bit, lest Divine Feather Great General react when he later exterminated True Martial Sect.
“Exterminate True Martial Sect, then immediately veer to Black Wind Cliff!”
Feeling the Blood Demon Flower power in his body down to less than forty percent, Old Demon Lin resolved himself.
True Martial Mountain was approaching fast.
Divine Feather Great General saw Old Demon Lin moving away from cities and slightly relaxed.
Otherwise, if Old Demon Lin slaughtered wantonly, his merits this time wouldn’t be so perfect.
One chase, one escape.
The two had entered the mountains.
Suddenly.
Divine Feather Great General frowned; this route felt somewhat familiar. Suddenly, his spirits shook as he realized—even though he’d never been here, he had seen it on a map before.
True Martial Mountain!
This was the route to True Martial Mountain!
Previously, to use Dragon Mountain Daoist’s Heavenly Human Ceremony as the opportunity, he had naturally learned True Martial Mountain’s location and memorized the surrounding terrain from memory. Now he instantly realized.
“This old demon, after exterminating the Wang Clan, still wants to exterminate True Martial Mountain!”
“Is this completely not taking me seriously?”
Divine Feather Great General was furious beyond measure.
His speed surged.
Old Demon Lin turned his head with a sinister smile:
“Realized it? But it’s useless!”
“This seat will exterminate it right in front of you!”
The Blood Demon Flower power in his body suddenly burned fiercely, consumption dozens of times faster than before. In an instant, remaining power was less than thirty percent. Old Demon Lin’s speed exploded; his face flushed red, body a uniform crimson, blood patterns beginning to crack.
Such an outburst could only last a dozen breaths, insufficient to shake off Divine Feather Great General’s pursuit, but briefly widening the gap was no problem.
Amid the chase, True Martial Mountain was at the horizon’s end.
Divine Feather Great General was both angry and anxious, able only to watch Old Demon Lin charge toward True Martial Mountain, shouting a warning:
“A Heavenly Human old demon is incoming—everyone at True Martial Mountain, take note!”
Wrapped in heaven and earth power, this voice transmitted extremely fast, even faster than normal sound speed.
Old Demon Lin grinned coldly, revealing stark white teeth:
“A warning? Useful?”
All below Heavenly Human were ants. Even with preparation, what use? Still fated for slaughter.
His pupils carried a bloody air as he lightly waved his hand.
In an instant.
Streaks of terrifying blood-colored saber qi slashed toward True Martial Mountain, just like when exterminating the Wang Clan before.
…
True Martial Mountain.
Since Dragon Mountain Daoist and others departed, the guests had obediently stayed on True Martial Mountain without leaving. But with three days passed, the congregation began to stir slightly.
Nightfall.
Many had not slept, discussing in the guest pavilions, pondering what to do next.
At this moment.
A heaven-shaking roar came from the distant horizon, startling everyone awake.
“A Heavenly Human old demon is incoming—everyone at True Martial Mountain, take note!”
A Heavenly Human Realm old demon?
The congregation’s scalps went numb.
No time for much thought, figures shot out one after another, landing in open spaces or standing atop pavilions.
The congregation looked toward the astonishing blood-colored fluctuations in the distance, all horrified.
In the night sky.
The white-haired old demon grinned ferociously, streaks of blood-colored saber qi carrying terrifying fluctuations chopping down, like world-ending calamity. Everyone’s bodies trembled; the strongest here was merely Jade Liquid Realm, far too insignificant before saber qi wielding heaven and earth power.
Someone mustered courage to counter, but their gang qi hadn’t even risen into the air before being crushed by the astonishing sense of oppression, not even touching the saber qi.
The congregation’s faces turned ashen.
They saw the constantly approaching cyan stream of light in the distance; the earlier warning voice had come from there. They had even heard Divine Feather Great General’s angry curses, but it was too late—a few short breaths felt like a lifetime apart. Even Luo Wentian and others felt bitter despair in their hearts.
The gap was simply too vast.
But at this moment.
An astonishing fluctuation rose similarly from deep within True Martial Sect!
Luo Wentian and others’ bodies jolted fiercely, excitement surging:
“It’s True Martial foundation!”
Previously during Iron Ridge Three Fiends’ night assault, this True Martial foundation had acted once, though everyone then guessed it was merely Gang Yuan Realm strength.
But now, it seemed not so?
True Martial Sect’s true disciples’ eyes surged with hope.
The one acting was naturally Ning Qi.
He was in the Scripture Depository.
He had long sensed those two astonishing fluctuations approaching from afar. Even before Divine Feather Great General’s warning voice, Ning Qi had already begun preparing, ready to erupt at any moment.
When Divine Feather Great General’s voice rang out.
Ning Qi knew he had to act.
He did not show himself, merely watching the white-haired old demon in the sky with cold eyes.
In an instant.
Ning Qi had reached Unity of Heaven and Man Realm, his Innate Sword Body also activating. He felt his condition unprecedentedly good, unprecedentedly powerful.
“Heavenly Sword Technique!”
He lightly called in his heart.
The vast inconceivable gang qi in his body fully erupted, merging into the surrounding controlled heaven and earth power.
Under Innate Sword Body’s amplification.
A heavenly sword took form.
Ning Qi’s face paled slightly, but his gaze was incomparably sharp.
This was his strongest sword!
“Go!”
It sounded long, but was merely a single breath. Just as Old Demon Lin’s blood-colored saber qi coalesced, Ning Qi had already struck.
Amid everyone’s gazes filled with hope, the heavenly sword soared from deep within True Martial Sect, rising to the heavens.
This sword, slay demon!
