I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
497 If you can do it, you go first.
Suddenly, it was as if the sky had been torn open, and countless tiny swords fell from the sky, like ice crystals plucked from a world of ice and snow, sharp and cold, transforming into thousands of sharp swords that fell from the sky.
The sharp sound of wind breaking and the awe-inspiring momentum, illuminated by the surrounding firelight, made each sword shine like a meteor, radiating a cold light. The air itself seemed to be cut off, and the sound of rapid air cutting through the sky resounded.
Yun Heiyi stood in the formation, an invisible aura instantly enveloping him. A sharp sword pierced through the air, as if striking a tile, making a dense and rhythmic "crackling" sound. It was sharp and extremely fast, as if it wanted to break through the invisible aura.
The sword landed but did not melt. Instead, it quickly froze the ground, and a thick layer of frost soon accumulated on it.
The attack from the Huai family's City God team was sudden. For a moment, it was unclear whether it was an ice arrow from the human world or true energy. Suddenly, an ice-melting sword struck, piercing through the body and penetrating nine-tenths of the way in, as if it had pierced through solid matter.
Instead of passing through the void, the icy power exploded instantly within the Yin body, freezing the weaker Yin bodies in the Huai family team as if water had turned to ice.
Then, without time to think, the ice swords followed one after another, transforming into the sharpest destruction and the coldest judgment, like the collision of ice blocks, a sharp cracking sound piercing the air.
A high-pitched, piercing scream, mixed with a desperate cry, rang out: "Help! Old man, save me!"
It exploded with a deafening roar, scattering fragments that flew several meters or even dozens of meters into the air, forming what appeared to be a series of colorful rainbows.
It wasn't bright red, only a kaleidoscope of colors reflected in the firelight. The moment it hit the ground, it slowly melted, turning into ash and disappearing completely.
The other quick-witted individuals activated their internal energy to form a protective barrier. The Huai family patriarch's red and green sword flashed, sweeping away the ice swords flying from the sky.
His gaze swept across the entire area, then he addressed Yun Heiyi and the others, shouting loudly, "How about we slay the demon first?"
Yun Heiyi's eyes remained unchanged, his expression as stern and unsmiling as ever. He said in a deep voice, "Alright, you go first." He did not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
The old ancestor of the Huai family's city god's face turned red instantly, as if he was extremely angry and ashamed because he had lost face due to being distrusted. His face was red and he had a murderous intent.
A fleeting, sharp glint in his eyes challenged his deepest pride and dignity. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He said in a deep voice, "Okay."
The six juniors behind him glared angrily at Yun Heiyi and the others. At this moment, they blocked the ice sword while remaining silent. They were all prominent figures in their families who had lived for a long time and were experienced in human relationships. Otherwise, with so many juniors in the Huai family, it would not have been their turn to survive and enjoy the incense offerings of their descendants.
The angry ancestor was someone none of them wanted to disturb, lest they get themselves into trouble; nobody wanted that.
The strange human eyes on the armor of the Huai family patriarch suddenly became more vivid, and the powerful force gradually materialized the Huai family patriarch.
The six people behind him were shocked. Could this mean that they could be reborn into the mortal world and enjoy the riches, delicacies, fine wines, and beautiful women of the mortal realm once again?
For a moment, the six people behind him were filled with shock. If that were the case, wouldn't the ancestor be able to truly live forever? Instead, even the City God's lifespan is predetermined, and if war breaks out, the city will collapse at the moment it falls.
The Huai family patriarch made no attempt to conceal his true intentions; his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Since they had been seen, they all deserved to die, and not a single soul would be spared today.
A sudden surge of aura, standing with sword in hand, exuding a majestic aura, the eerie sharpness on the sword seemingly able to pierce through nothingness, a single sword strike, the God of Hell Slash, boundless and eerie power, seemingly capable of slaying souls, cold and sharp.
A sharp sound suddenly rang out, and sword energy, like a rainbow, pierced through the sky. The sword light directly slashed at the red serpent demon, as if a soul was being pulled by an invisible force. The sword energy pierced through it, and in a flash, it shot towards the demon like an arrow released from a bow.
The demon gave a wicked smile, and with a light wave of its ten-foot-long clawed arm, it blocked the incoming gale and shattered the sword energy instantly, like a water gun hitting steel, leaving no trace.
"Is this all the power you have? I'm truly astonished. If so, you can leave in peace. I will rule this place." The Red Serpent Demon bared its teeth, mocking disdainfully.
Suddenly, his soul began to weaken, and a strange sword aura seemed to attack again, instantly drilling into his mind and consciousness, making his soul seem to dissipate little by little.
Looking at the motionless red serpent demon, the City God Huai smiled, watching cautiously in case anything went wrong.
Suddenly, a sinister laugh rang out, no longer hoarse and painful, but even more chilling. "Thank you for finally extinguishing this brat's remaining consciousness and spirit; otherwise, I would have had to put in much more effort."
The red serpent demon gently twisted its body, finally lifting itself completely off the ground. However, it was only ten feet long, with sharp claws on all four limbs, a thick upper body, and an uneven tail on its lower body.
With a gentle sweep, in an instant, the house, like a sandcastle, crumbled into dust.
As he spoke, the City God of Huaijia suddenly left his spot. However, under the dark night sky, a cold light flashed and a murderous aura filled the air.
With a deafening roar, a thunderous explosion, and the rupture of eardrums, suddenly, sharp claws appeared out of nowhere, sharp and enormous, about three feet long, as if they had traversed space and appeared directly in front of Ancestor Huai.
Before him stood a red serpent demon, three zhang tall and ten zhang long, with a strangely similar face that made even the evil ancestor's eyes go numb. It was clearly another version of himself, its claws radiating a cold light, flowing with a chilling aura of death.
The illusion around the old ancestor was fully activated, and he no longer held back. The surroundings flickered with eerie ghostly energy, and evil spirits rushed towards him. They died of starvation, drowning, or torture, all of them evil spirits he had collected over the years.
He swiftly swung his longsword, unleashing the Yama's Slash - Blood Slash. The crimson sword light, reaching three zhang in length, crisscrossed with sword energy, colliding with the sharp claws and producing a deafening roar.
Sword energy and claws clashed against each other, and a pungent, fishy stench filled the air. The red serpent demon's claws were as hard as iron, and the longsword pierced through them without causing any damage, leaving only a white mark.
The sword energy pierced through the claw and struck the chest instantly, but it was blocked by an invisible force, leaving only a shallow sword mark. The sword energy seemed to be absorbed and disappear in an instant.
The sword energy swirled, and an extremely powerful force burst forth from the body, suddenly stabbing out and swirling around it, trying to take the opportunity to escape. Five three-foot-long claws, like a terrifying net of swords, instantly enveloped it.
