Just when Su Rui was still wondering why Taoist Yuan Huai could suddenly be so kind and actually come out to save him, a voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
"Yuan Huai, you and the Blood Demon have a long-standing feud. You've fought each other for years, with more defeats than victories. You're still alive today thanks to your master's protection. Now, although you've successfully allowed the Desire Realm Demon to possess you, you're still not killing enough. You're lacking some skills, and you can only unleash a small fraction of the power of the Devil's Immortal-Slaying Sword. Even so, the fact that you were able to fight the Blood Demon to a draw is already quite remarkable. When you fully harness the power of the Devil, you might be able to severely damage the Blood Demon!"
As those words fell, an old man in plain clothes, radiating a vigorous aura like an inner volcano, suddenly appeared beside them. This old man had short hair and a short beard, and his eyes were as piercing as two bolts of lightning, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Ma Huai had information about this person in his memory. He never thought that Taoist Yuan Huai would actually invite an elder when he returned to Wutai Sect. He just didn't know if his Taoism was as high as that of True Man Yu'e. He thought it should not be, because it was rumored that True Man Yu'e had already passed through forty-nine heavenly tribulations and his merits were comparable to those of nature. He only needed to accumulate 100,000 good deeds to ascend to heaven.
"Elder Jin Chen, you just heard it. The Blood Demon is coming for the disciples of my Wutai Sect. When my Heavenly Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword is refined to perfection, I will kill the Blood Demon and use it as a sacrifice to the sword!" Taoist Yuan Huai swallowed a pill, and a hint of redness appeared on his pale face. Then he clasped his fists and said to the old man who suddenly appeared.
Su Rui suddenly understood why Taoist Yuan Huai suddenly jumped out to defend him. The reason why he suddenly jumped out to defend him was because he had a grudge against the other party, and he also wanted to let Elder Jin Chen see that he was defending the reputation of the Wutai Sect.
"You are truly foolish! How could you possibly be so careless as to sacrifice and refine the Heavenly Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword? You must know that the Heavenly Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword was created by a demonic friend of a certain ancestor. The sword is enchanted with a spell that can summon the Desire Realm Heavenly Demon to descend upon the world. Its power is immense, and once it responds, one's cultivation power will instantly increase several times. However, while this sword is immensely powerful, once a demon possesses you, it is difficult to expel it, which is a significant disadvantage to your cultivation! Otherwise, with your aptitude, you would have already surpassed the Blood Demon by a long shot!"
The old man's words revealed the truth behind Taoist Yuan Huai's constant abduction of decent women for his pleasure. It turned out he was possessed by a demon from the Desire Realm, hence his debauchery. Desire Realm demons reside in the Desire Realm and possess immense power and wisdom. According to relevant scriptures, there are six types of Desire Realm demons: the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, the Desire Realm demon, and the Desire Realm demon.
Among them, the Deva Deva is an extremely powerful being, residing in the Desire Realm, possessing unparalleled power and wisdom. It lures humans into the abyss of lust and desire, leaving them unable to extricate themselves. According to Buddhism, the Deva Deva is the embodiment of human desire and greed, representing the dark side of the human heart. Only through ascetic practice of the precepts can one defeat the Deva Deva and achieve inner peace and liberation.
"Elder, it was my subjective wish to sacrifice and refine the Heavenly Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword. If it weren't for the Heavenly Demon-Slaying Immortal Sword, I would have died in the previous battle. What's more, even though the Heavenly Demon of the Desire Realm possessed me, I didn't feel that he had added any obstacles to my practice!" Taoist Yuan Huai refuted Elder Jin Chen's words in a gentle tone, but neither humble nor arrogant.
"Forget it, it's come to this, there's no point in saying more!" Elder Jin Chen flicked his sleeves and opened the door to the room where Taoist Yuan Huai had originally lived. Just as he was about to step inside, he saw several pale female corpses that had lost all their blood. He immediately frowned.
Su Rui, standing beside him, followed his gaze into the room and felt a sense of unease. These people had been alive when he arrived, but now they were all frozen corpses. He couldn't help swallowing, his throat feeling dry.
"Huai'er, gather all the senior masters who have come here to the guest hall downstairs to discuss how to deal with this sword fight?" Taoist Yuan Huai saw the corpse in the room and didn't want to go in. He turned around and followed Elder Jin Chen downstairs. Before leaving, he did not forget to give Su Rui an instruction.
Su Rui responded and quickly turned and left. He felt a little heavy-hearted. This sword fight had involved too many innocent lives, and the situation was becoming increasingly complicated. But he knew he had to do his best to protect those innocent people.
After a while.
A large number of people gathered in the guest hall of Huairen Building. These people were all feared masters of the magic and evil ways in the martial arts world. They were invited by friends or could not resist the entreaties of the younger generation to participate in this sword fight.
There were two seats at the top of the table in the living room. A dwarf-like old man was already sitting in one of them. He was glowing green and his eyes were fierce, which made people feel scared. Standing behind him was Taoist Xueyin.
Above his subordinates sat a familiar figure, the Blood Demon. On the other side, near the head of the table, sat the Saintess of the Naked Sect. Below that, almost all the seats were new faces, each exuding an unusually powerful aura. Behind them followed the previously seen disciples of the Bamboo Mountain Sect and the White Bone Sect. Su Rui and Taoist Yuan Huai followed behind Elder Jin Chen and were the last to enter.
Everyone in the arena had their own thoughts. Some had solemn expressions, some looked gloomy, and some were eager to try. But among the crowd, one person seemed out of place: the Blood Demon. His face was gloomy, his eyes flickering, as if he was calculating something. At the same time, beside him, a red shadow loomed, as if conveying some message to him.
The Saint of the Naked Cult, who was sitting at the first seat near the upper seat, was watching everything in the field with an expressionless face. Her eyes were cold, as if she didn't care about anything, but her body exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not approach easily. Behind her stood two burly men, holding huge swords in their hands, like iron towers, giving people a feeling of being indestructible.
Among the people present, there were some whose identities were not very clear, but from their aura and behavior, it could be seen that they were all powerful people, and there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between them, which made people feel alert.
Elder Jin Chen sat down in the vacant seat at the top. Taoist Yuan Huai and Su Rui had no seats, so they had to stand behind him and serve as his background.
"We are so sorry for the visit of Lord Bai Gu! It is so rare that we can invite you to this sword fight! With your arrival, there will be no suspense in this sword fight!" As soon as Elder Jin Chen sat down, he complimented the dwarf old man next to him who was glowing green.
"Hehehe... Originally it was a sword fight among the younger generation, and I didn't want to come. But my disciple said that the invisible sword inheritance of Monk Banbian has also appeared. I haven't seen Monk Banbian for a while, so I plan to have a fight with him to see whether his Five Elements Sword Technique is more powerful, or my Hundred Poisons Golden Silkworm Gu is more powerful!!" The old man first laughed devilishly, then glared with murderous intent in his eyes and said.
