Free Web NovelChapter 213: Chapter 213: Taiyi Demon Suppression
Shen Daoxing suddenly shot up from the ground. His figure flashed, and he appeared behind Xu Xing’an. He raised the Great Ming Demon Sparrow high in his hands and brought it smashing down.
Xu Xing’an sensed the attack from behind but didn’t turn around. He just coldly reached back with a grasping motion. "Courting death!"
"Cloud Sea Dharma Aspect!"
Suddenly, winds surged and clouds gathered within the vast white space as large patches of white clouds amassed.
Without any warning, a giant hand, as large as a millstone, suddenly shot out from the clouds beneath Shen Daoxing’s feet.
Shen Daoxing realized something was wrong. With a flicker of his body, he narrowly dodged it.
Immediately after, from within the boundless clouds, a giant composed of vapor, over a hundred feet tall, rose to its feet, blocking Shen Daoxing’s path.
"You can play with it for a while!"
Xu Xing’an said flatly, then raised his sword and continued his attack on the red-clothed girl.
However, a clear cry rang out.
"Forbidden Sword Technique, Heaven-Reaching Fire!"
Xu Xing’an was slightly startled. He felt the temperature behind him suddenly rise as the surrounding clouds turned red and began to burn violently.
Realizing something was wrong, he leaped into the air.
A curtain of fire, like a tidal wave, swept over, engulfing the exact spot where Xu Xing’an had just been standing.
Meanwhile, the Cloud Sea Dharma Aspect behind him was already consumed by the rolling flames, burning away into nothing but steam.
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Daoxing flickered and appeared beside the red-clothed girl.
Xu Xing’an landed and looked coolly at the two of them. "You think the two of you can kill me? The gap between the Grotto Heaven and Spirit Transformation realms is as vast as heaven and earth. Do you really think challenging someone above your station is so simple?"
With that, Xu Xing’an raised his sword to the sky and shouted, "Cyan Cloud Sword Technique, Nine Heavens of Qiankun!"
The Tai Chi Diagram with its yin-yang eyes reappeared at his feet. This time, however, the Tai Chi Diagram did not expand. Instead, it radiated a dazzling light that completely enveloped him.
When the light faded, he had transformed into a giant over a hundred feet tall. His long, snow-white hair flowed freely, making him resemble an Exiled Immortal descended to the mortal world. His every move exuded an irresistible majesty.
Xu Xing’an moved his arm slightly, and a colossal hand, seemingly large enough to rip the very heavens and earth asunder, swept toward them.
"Four Symbols Sword Technique!"
Shen Daoxing raised the Great Ming Demon Sparrow and slashed out.
Brilliant lights of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning intertwined as the Great Ming Demon Sparrow unleashed a shower of ultimate radiance.
"Destruction Thunder Strike!"
The red-clothed girl roared, and her sword erupted with a terrifying Thunder Dragon.
BANG!
BANG!
Both of their attacks landed, striking the giant hand, but they only managed to create a tiny shower of sparks before fizzling out, failing to cause any damage whatsoever.
BOOM!
The giant hand descended. The two of them were sent flying backward like arrows, piercing through several layers of clouds before their momentum finally came to a halt.
The red-clothed girl opened her mouth and coughed up a large mouthful of fresh blood. Her old, hidden injuries had not yet fully healed, and this new blow only made her condition worse.
But the red-clothed girl paid her injuries no mind. She shot back up, leaping high into the air and raising her sword. "Nine Thunders Shocking Heaven Technique! Nine Thunders Shocking Heaven!"
But this pocket of space seemed to be completely cut off from the outside world; there was no reaction from the sky at all.
"Heheheh. It’s useless. Don’t waste your energy. This is my domain, completely sealed off from the outside world. You can forget about summoning celestial thunder again."
Xu Xing’an looked down at them with contempt. "My Cyan Cloud Sword Technique is a mid-grade Celestial Tier technique. To break my domain, you’d need a high-grade Celestial Tier technique at the very least."
"Heheheh!"
As he spoke, Xu Xing’an pressed his palm down again. It descended like a mighty mountain of immense weight, threatening to crush everything and overturn the world.
The red-clothed girl’s brows furrowed, forming a straight line.
’Oh, a Celestial Tier technique?’
Shen Daoxing smiled faintly. Xu Xing’an’s words had just reminded him of something.
Suddenly, Shen Daoxing’s expression changed. His aura became majestic, and a seven-colored light flashed through his eyes. He slowly extended two fingers and pointed them coolly toward the sky.
"Taiyi Demon Suppression, Heaven-Slaying Sword!"
Without any warning, a large hole ripped open in the vast white void above. A beam of seven-colored light shone down from it, followed by a colossal Treasure Sword that filled the entire opening. Wreathed in roaring flames, it descended like a falling star, whistling as it smashed downward.
In an instant, it pierced through the giant hand that Xu Xing’an was pressing down.
"What!"
Xu Xing’an cried out in pain and retracted his hand. He looked up in astonishment at the gaping hole above, through which he could clearly see the sky over Taoyuan Town.
"This is impossible!" Xu Xing’an cried.
Shen Daoxing smiled faintly. ’What’s so impossible about it?’
’The Taiyi Demon-Slaying Sword Array is a Venerable Technique. How could a mere Celestial Tier technique possibly compare?’
"Taiyi Demon Suppression, Nine Heaven-Slaying Swords!"
Then, Shen Daoxing shouted again.
Above them in the sky, without any warning, SHHH SHHH SHHH... nine large holes appeared at the same time. Then, nine colossal Treasure Swords, like falling stars, descended with roaring flames. BANG! BANG! BANG! They slammed into the ground around Xu Xing’an, forming a cage that completely surrounded him.
"You think this is enough to defeat me? Are you underestimating me?"
Xu Xing’an glanced around disdainfully. He stretched an arm to the sky, and out of the vast expanse, a colossal Treasure Sword, no smaller than Shen Daoxing’s Demon Subduing Celestial Sword, flew over from the distance and landed in his hand.
Immediately, Xu Xing’an raised his sword, spun, and swept it around him, unleashing a brilliant flash of light.
VMM!
The giant swords surrounding him let out a long hum and trembled slightly.
"Taiyi Demon Suppression, Ten Directions Divine Fiends!"
Shen Daoxing roared once more.
The ten Treasure Swords surrounding Xu Xing’an suddenly flared with a blinding light. At the same time, beams of brilliant radiance shot out from the swords, converging on a single point in the center of the Sword Array.
ZZZZT!
ZZZZT!
A magnificent stream of light exploded outward and then began to merge. In just a moment, it formed a towering human figure, seemingly composed of countless strands of Sword Intent, like a Divine Soldier descending from the heavens. It was of colossal stature, its every motion exuding a majestic aura. From its eyes, where innumerable strands of Sword Intent swirled, yet more Sword Intent shot forth.
After the Sword Intent Celestial Soldier appeared, it casually plucked one of the giant swords from its side. It lunged forward, smashing the sword against Xu Xing’an with a resounding BANG. At the same time, two beams of Sword Intent shot from its eyes with overwhelming power.
Xu Xing’an’s own colossal figure, not to be outdone, swung its Treasure Sword and smashed down fiercely in response.
BOOM!
The sound of the violent collision reverberated throughout the entire white expanse.
The entire space seemed to tremble from the force of the blow.
Dazzling streams of light splashed in all directions as the two giants clashed violently.
Because the Taiyi Demon-Slaying Sword Array consumed an enormous amount of power, Shen Daoxing’s Spiritual Power within his Dantian hit rock bottom after just a short while. He had no choice but to sit down cross-legged, open his one hundred and eight acupoints, and frantically absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
At the same time, he swiped a hand over his Sumeru Ring, summoning a large bottle of pills. Tilting his head back, he opened his mouth and poured the Elixirs down his throat, rapidly replenishing his depleted Spiritual Power.
