Otherworldly Sky Demon, One Punch to Kill an Earth Sword Immortal?
Otherworldly Sky Demon, One Punch to Kill an Earth Sword Immortal?
Princess Xuan Die did not suspect any hidden meaning behind Gu Changge’s claim of wanting to stay out of worldly affairs.
She simply felt that by saying this, Gu Changge was warning them not to provoke him. Still, this actually dispelled the last of her lingering doubts.
“Young Master, rest assured, our Sword Cliff will never do anything to provoke you. This Sword Immortal Order has nothing to do with our Sword Cliff,” the Snow Sword Immortal assured him.
“That’s wonderful, Shifu. Young Master Gu really isn’t a bad person. If he truly harbored any ill intent toward us, he would have made his move long ago.”
“With his strength, he has no need for schemes or tricks whatsoever.”
Princess Xuan Die’s eyes lit up with joy as she added that in any world, everything came down to appearances.
Besides, Gu Changge had saved her life. Even though she was the Second-Most Gracious Damsel of Southbarren State, she was hardly immune to such things.
These past few days, when she played her qin melodies, Gu Changge had actually been able to offer her a few pointers, leaving her utterly astonished and benefiting her greatly.
The Snow Sword Immortal sighed softly. She had never expected that her disciple would already be so partial toward Gu Changge.
In the past, Princess Xuan Die had always been haughty and proud; ordinary prodigies could never catch her eye.
Even the other Four Prodigies of the Profound Sword World were not worth a proper glance from her.
Yet after spending just a few short days with Gu Changge, she was saying such things.
“Although your Sword Cliff won’t provoke me, this Profound Sword World consists of far more than just your Sword Cliff.”
Hearing this, Gu Changge chuckled softly. Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the City Lord Manor, he took a single step forward, and in the next instant, he had already appeared atop the city wall.
“Not good.”
The Snow Sword Immortal’s expression shifted slightly. Only now did she sense terrifying Sword Qi sweeping in from beyond the heavens.
And judging by the auras, there were quite a few of them.
She understood that the other Earth Sword Immortals had tracked them to this place, intending to capture Gu Changge.
It seemed a fierce battle was unavoidable.
The Snow Sword Immortal’s brows furrowed as her figure swiftly darted out, appearing high in the sky.
She stood proudly in the air, her dark hair dancing, snowflakes glistening.
Around her formed a domain of ice and snow sword energy; even the void itself seemed to freeze. Terrifying cold spread out, transforming into a vast expanse of heavy snow that blotted out the sky and sun.
There was a reason the world honored her as the Snow Sword Immortal. In terms of attainment in the Dao of Ice and Snow alone, no one of her realm could compare.
Wherever her gaze reached, heaven and earth became a divine domain of ice and snow.
The Snow Sword Immortal’s appearance shocked the entire Ancient Mulberry City. An Earth Sword Immortal suddenly manifesting here caused an absolutely earth-shaking sensation.
All living beings and Cultivators looked up in astonishment, completely bewildered.
“It seems the time has come.”
“We can make our move now.”
Sensing these fluctuations of aura, the patriarchs of the several great families within Ancient Mulberry City all had sharp glints flash in their eyes. Vaguely guessing something, they immediately dispatched the experts of their clans.
If the various Earth Sword Immortals were going to act against Gu Changge, they naturally wanted a piece of the action. After all, this was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity.
“So you’re that Young Master Gu?”
A voice carrying a chill came from afar. In the sky above, a figure like a shooting star was rapidly approaching.
His face was beardless, he wore a starry daoist robe, and in his hand he gripped a Seven-Star Dao Sword. His entire body radiated an awe-inspiring pressure.
Without a doubt, this was an existence of the Earth Sword Immortal Realm. His majestic aura was like a supreme divine mountain, pressing down upon the hearts of every living being in Ancient Mulberry City.
Atop the walls of Ancient Mulberry City, Gu Changge stood there, with Ah Da towering behind him like an iron pagoda, exuding a terrifying might like that of a god or demon, causing all the living beings and Cultivators of Ancient Mulberry City to tremble, their breathing nearly suffocating.
“So the strongest of this world are only at this level?” Gu Changge’s expression barely changed as he chuckled lightly.
“Don’t you act so rampant! Otherworldly Sky Demons are to be slain by all! If you’re smart, this old man advises you to surrender without a fight. Resistance is futile.”
This figure landed outside Ancient Mulberry City, his gaze as brilliant as the stars, radiating sword light that seemed capable of shattering the void itself.
“What?!”
Hearing these words, the entire Ancient Mulberry City erupted into an uproar. Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief, wondering if they had misheard.
Otherworldly Sky Demon?
That young man who had returned together with Xiaojie Ah Qing was actually an Otherworldly Sky Demon?
The expressions of many people turned fearful.
Inside the City Lord Manor, the faces of Ah Qing, Princess Xuan Die, and the others all changed, sensing that things were taking a turn for the worse.
This Earth Sword Immortal clearly intended to expose Gu Changge’s identity to stir up public outrage, but in doing so, he would push Gu Changge completely to the opposite side of the Profound Sword World.
In their view, what he was doing was simply the height of stupidity.
Although Gu Changge had never displayed his strength, since he dared to come to the Profound Sword World so openly and brazenly, how could he possibly fear such things?
“With just you? Where did you get the gall to say such words to me?”
Atop the city wall, Gu Changge raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly rather surprised.
“Such nerve indeed. This old man would very much like to see what abilities you still have in our world,” the old man in the starry daoist robe said coldly, killing intent flickering in the depths of his eyes.
His most favored grandson had perished at the hands of Otherworldly Sky Demons.
Therefore, he harbored boundless hatred for every Otherworldly Sky Demon, wishing he could exterminate and wipe them all out. Although the Old Sword Immortal of the Shu Sect had used the Sword Immortal Order to call on everyone to capture Gu Changge,
he would much rather besiege and kill Gu Changge right here.
Having reached the level of Earth Sword Immortal, he had some understanding of the heavenly rules of the Profound Sword World. He knew that although Gu Changge was terrifyingly powerful, he absolutely could not exert his original strength within this world.
Moreover, the Earth Sword Immortals who had come this time to capture and kill Gu Changge numbered far more than just him alone.
It might not be the entire Profound Sword World’s mightiest forces pouring out in full, but it was not far off. It could truly be called an Inescapable Net.
“Star Sword Immortal, do not bring ruin upon yourself. Young Master Gu bears no malice toward the Profound Sword World. What you’re doing will only invite calamity.”
The Snow Sword Immortal walked through the air step by step, her bright eyes beneath the mask coldly fixed on the old man in the starry daoist robe.
Her voice was clear and cold. Though not loud, it contained a terrifying will that enveloped the entire Ancient Mulberry City.
Everyone who had been gripped by terror was now even more bewildered, unable to comprehend it. The Snow Sword Immortal’s renown in the Profound Sword World far exceeded that of this old man.
Yet at this moment, she was actually intending to protect that Otherworldly Sky Demon?
“Snow Sword Immortal, are you truly determined to shelter this man and make an enemy of us?”
The Star Sword Immortal’s eyes were equally cold. He had not expected the Snow Sword Immortal to step forward at this moment. This exceeded his expectations.
“I am saving you all.”
The Snow Sword Immortal’s voice was icy. The divine domain of ice and snow spread beneath her feet, transforming into a boundless expanse of heavy snow that swept forth, freezing the void until terrifying gray fissures split open.
“I never thought you would actually side with an Otherworldly Sky Demon. It seems you’ve been bewitched and controlled by him,” the Star Sword Immortal said coldly.
Inside the City Lord Manor, Lin En, dressed as a steward, also furrowed his brows at this moment.
He stepped with a mysterious footwork, vanishing in an instant and appearing in another area, without revealing his true form.
“Why would Senior help that Young Master Gu?”
He was somewhat puzzled. He had originally thought the Snow Sword Immortal had come here because of the Sword Immortal Order as well.
At this moment, the old man in the starry daoist robe’s expression turned cold, and he struck. Raising his great hand, he unleashed a powerful sword technique.
Immediately, twelve Star Divine Swords slashed over, each one incomparably terrifying, actually carrying the roaring sounds of gods and demons from all the heavens.
One Sword One World!
The Twelve Star Divine Array unleashed a world-shaking might of the Sword Dao. Each sword carved open a world, within which earth, fire, wind, and water cycled.
This was the might of an Earth Sword Immortal. Every Cultivator in Ancient Mulberry City trembled ceaselessly under this terrifying aura, unable to resist, unable to help but prostrate themselves on the ground and worship in that direction.
“The Star Sword Immortal comprehended the outer stars six hundred years ago and used that to step into the final realm. Now his Star Sword Dao has reached perfection. This Twelve Star Divine Array contains the power of gods and ghosts, capable of annihilating all foes.”
The Old City Lord’s expression was grave. Although his own strength was not weak, before an existence of the Earth Sword Immortal level, he was still no different from an ant.
Ah Qing and Princess Xuan Die also furrowed their brows.
“You actually dare to strike?”
The Snow Sword Immortal’s expression turned cold. Great swaths of ice and snow condensed, forming ice shields that surged forward to block this sword array.
However, it was clear the Star Sword Immortal had long been prepared, and this was not his only method. Starlight-like radiance flowed from within his sleeves, striking into the surrounding void.
“Heh heh, this old man would like to see what tricks you have,” the Star Sword Immortal sneered, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
At the same time, an aura that horrified everyone in Ancient Mulberry City erupted forth.
In all directions, soaring radiance steamed upward, as if an eternal divine furnace was burning.
“This man truly has vicious methods. Is he planning to refine us all alive right here?” The Old City Lord shuddered.
In the void on all four sides, ancient altar after ancient altar hung suspended, like starlight, each carved with mysterious divine patterns, emitting strands of terrifying radiance that interwove together.
“The Star-Sealing Sacrificial Ritual!” The Snow Sword Immortal’s expression also changed slightly. This was a fearsome set of Array Patterns. Those trapped within would be sacrificed and refined alive, unable to resist.
She had never imagined this Star Sword Immortal would actually employ such a method. It was simply ruthless—he had not considered the people of Ancient Mulberry City at all.
At this moment, everyone in Ancient Mulberry City was suddenly seized with terror, feeling their own flesh and blood seemingly beginning to burn, their souls and magic power surging out of their control.
Many people directly burst apart, affected by the power of this blood sacrifice, their bodies and souls utterly destroyed.
“Aaaah—”
However, in the next instant, a miserable scream suddenly rang out. Thick bloodiness spread through the air, and between heaven and earth, an aura that made one tremble, that made one’s very skin feel like it would split open, interwove.
A terrifying fist imprint, as if piercing through eternity itself, mingled with pitch-black demonic qi, directly tore through all the divine patterns and Star Divine Swords before it, and smashed into the Star Sword Immortal’s body.
“Impossible...”
His eyes were filled with horror and disbelief. He had not even reacted before discovering a towering demonic figure like an iron pagoda had appeared before him.
The opponent’s fist descended, and everything before his eyes shattered into pieces, collapsing and exploding apart.
It was a hair-raising, terrifying scene. The Star Sword Immortal, who had been so overwhelmingly domineering just moments ago, was in the blink of an eye transformed into a mist of blood, mixed with fragments of bone, drifting through the void.
One had to know, this was an Earth Sword Immortal! An existence standing at the very peak of the Profound Sword World!
“That’s definitely not the Ninth Level. With physical strength alone, he surpassed an Earth Sword Immortal!”
The Old City Lord and the others stared at Ah Da in utter horror. They had never imagined that this subordinate who had followed silently behind Gu Changge would possess such terrifying strength.
With the power of his Physique alone, he had killed an Earth Sword Immortal with a single punch!
