Free Web NovelChapter 220: Chapter 27: Blood Light Child
This strike from Elder Xiao Qi was also a Sword Qi Thunder Sound.
Accompanied by a low rumble of thunder, the sword light moved as fast as lightning, circling the Blood Child several times.
The Blood Child just stood there with a somewhat dazed expression, completely still.
A moment later, its body shattered into pieces. A brilliant blood-red light flared as the fragments began to disperse.
The Blood Child frowned. With a soft grunt, its body reassembled.
Stomping its foot, it transformed into a streak of blood and shot straight toward Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi’s form shimmered, and he too transformed into an incorporeal sword light, instantly dicing the blood streak into several segments.
The blood streaks were surprisingly cunning. Once severed, they scattered and darted through the air, bypassing Xiao Qi completely to fly toward the seven cores of the Seven Kills Array.
It had set its sights on Fang Cheng and the others, clearly intending to break the Array.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi manifested his sword light once more. In the blink of an eye, it split into seven beams that intercepted the blood streaks, shredding them into even smaller fragments.
"Mr. Xiao, be careful!" Cai Li, who was currently fending off the Blood Thunder, called out. "This is the Celestial Demon’s Undying Blood Spirit Divine Technique. You need the Immortal Slayer stance from the Netherworld Sword Technique to destroy it completely."
Xiao Qi sighed. "I see!"
With that, his sword light abruptly changed, revealing a sharp, Heaven-Slaying Earth-Cracking Sword Intent. fгeewebnovёl.com
Fang Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the sky, frowned slightly. ’Elder Xiao’s mastery of this Sword Technique is quite ordinary,’ he thought.
’Surely the Sword Intent of the Immortal Slayer stance isn’t this superficial?’
’Is Elder Xiao intentionally holding back?’
Xiao Qi’s sword light flowed, first forcing the Blood Child back onto the Demon-Exorcising Platform. Once its body had reassembled, he suddenly unleashed a magnificent Sword Aura.
It was the fourth stance of the Netherworld Sword Technique: Immortal Slayer.
Back when Feng Ziang and Huang Shen fought the Mad Daoist, they had consumed an immense amount of Magical Power to use this very move, pushing the Mad Daoist to the brink of death.
Now, as Xiao Qi slashed out, a look of terror instantly appeared on the Blood Child’s face.
The sword light was unbelievably fast, instantly slicing the Blood Child in two.
After circling once through the air, the quaint Flying Sword returned to Xiao Qi’s side.
He watched the Blood Child struggle to reassemble its bisected body and frowned. "A mere wisp of blood light, yet it’s this tenacious."
But before his voice had even faded, a smear of blood light appeared soundlessly on the quaint Flying Sword. It then flashed like an electric arc and latched onto Xiao Qi’s right arm.
Xiao Qi’s Protective Spiritual Light automatically activated, blocking the blood light. But the light clung to his Protective Spiritual Light like a maggot on bone, wriggling slowly.
The terror on the Blood Child’s face melted away, replaced by a mischievous expression. It slowly pulled its two halves back together and stood up.
It gave Xiao Qi an eerie smile and uttered a strange syllable.
It sounded like the low hum of an ancient Celestial Demon.
Xiao Qi flicked out a beam of sword light, intending to scrape the blood light from his right arm. But the moment the sound was made, the flow of qi and blood in his body stagnated uncontrollably.
He froze completely.
The blood light on his arm seized the opportunity, seeping through his Protective Spiritual Light and landing on the back of his hand.
In the next moment, Xiao Qi’s right arm flashed with blood-red light and began to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Within the Seven Kills Array, the Seven Fierce of the Law Enforcement Hall were all stunned.
To think that a dignified Inner Sect Elder from Demon Lion Peak could be forced into such a desperate state by a mere child made of blood light.
It was truly unbelievable.
’Could this blood light truly be the manifestation of an Outer Celestial Demon...’
Xiao Qi was a seasoned veteran. Without a word, he immediately used his Flying Sword to sever his own right arm. "Mr. Cai," he said in a grim voice, "the Immortal Slayer stance can’t kill this demon. It must be sealed with a Magical Artifact."
The implication was clear: he didn’t have a suitable Magical Artifact and was counting on someone in the Seven Kills Array to provide one.
Cai Li fell into thought, her brow furrowed slightly.
’It wasn’t that the Immortal Slayer stance was ineffective,’ she wanted to say, ’but that your Sword Technique is still lacking.’
Just then, a voice called out, "Elder Xiao, let me give it a try."
Xiao Qi turned his head and saw a brilliantly glowing golden rope descending. The Blood Child was about to dodge but was instantly entangled in several coils of the golden rope, bound tightly.
The Blood Child struggled in vain a few times before tumbling to the ground. Its eyes darted back and forth, its thoughts unreadable.
The Blood Child was full of cunning tricks, but unexpectedly, once bound by the golden rope, its entire vital energy was sealed away, and all of its powers vanished.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this sight.
Aside from Feng Ziang, it was the first time any of them had seen the Immortal Binding Rope. They were secretly amazed, and their estimation of Suanni rose even higher.
Stationed within the Seven Kills Array, Fang Cheng was helping Cai Li deal with the Blood Thunder while watching the fight between Xiao Qi and the Blood Child. He couldn’t help but put himself in Xiao Qi’s shoes, wondering how he would have handled the situation.
Now, having subdued the Blood Child with the Immortal Binding Rope, he subconsciously unleashed the Li Hen Demon Light, directing it down onto the child.
The pitch-black Demonic Light fell upon the Blood Child, instantly creating a SIZZLING sound. The Blood Child shrieked in agony as black flames erupted all over its body, setting it ablaze.
In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Blood Child had burned to ash and dissipated, leaving only the Immortal Binding Rope behind.
Xiao Qi stared at Fang Cheng, his face a mask of shock.
’The Blood Child that he couldn’t kill even with his full strength... was just refined by a beam of Demonic Light, just like that?’
’That Demonic Light... it seems to be from the legendary Resentment Celestial Demon...’
’A Celestial Demon Divine Technique!’
’The Yinluo Sect doesn’t seem to have this Secret Technique.’
’So powerful...’
Among the Seven Fierce, someone recognized the origin of the Li Hen Demon Light and pondered it in silence.
The others also looked on thoughtfully, but with the battle still raging, no one had time for idle speculation.
Cai Li, who had been keeping a close eye on the Demon-Exorcising Platform, saw this and said, "Mr. Xiao, take Suanni’s place suppressing the array core. Suanni, go and help on the other Demon-Exorcising Platforms."
The two acknowledged their orders.
Xiao Qi flew into the sky, swapping places with Fang Cheng.
"Thank you!" Xiao Qi said to Fang Cheng as he settled into the array core.
