1006 Luring The Enemy Away (1/2)
Meng Qi had previously reviewed the current top seven swordplays, saying the Taishi Demonic Sword was ever-changing and attacked with both illusion and realism, it was extremely terrifying and ought to be one of them.
And the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword was the greatest achiever of the Taishi Demonic Sword of this era!
He was a divine immortal with years of experience, controlling the Demonic Sword which tyranny increased with the amount of blood stained on it. His battle with the Sage of Vitality in the Sea of Stars was well-known in the Middle Ages, with him losing by just a mere stroke. His abilities were evident from this, but he still couldn't escape the slash from the Tyrant, the protagonist of this era, in the end.
After hearing Ren Qiushui's message and knowing the identity of the person in front of him, bits and pieces of information about him appeared in Meng Qi's mind. He might not be very clear about the details, but his general understanding of the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword definitely exceeded Ren Qiushui or even the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword himself. His swordsmanship, his demonic skills, his life development and his final fate — all these were no secret to him.
This was one of the greatest advantages of traveling back to ancient times.
He could even pretend to be a mighty person and compete with the Sage of Arithmetic on the art of divination!
Of course, facing a divine immortal like this, he had no chance of winning even if he understood his weaknesses as his realm was too low and his life might even be in danger. Even with Wuji, Daoyi, and Kaitian, or the Buddha's Palm, Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception and Fairy Slaying Swordplay, there was no way he could completely compensate for such a gap, unless he could transform into the Three Pure Ones at one go and lay down the Fairy Slaying Sword Formation by himself. As of now, he could only rely on the divine heavenly weapon Celestial Parting Sword and make full use of its power. Thus, as long as he didn't get himself into a long battle, there was still a high chance for him to escape.
Unfortunately, the Taishang Demon had yet to become a divine immortal and hence the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword had yet to lose to the Tyrant for the first time to have an unresolved feeling of failure inside him. Otherwise, he only needed to simulate the tyranny at the crucial moment and display the Tyrant's Six Decapitations to grab hold of the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword's spiritual weakness in order to accomplish the feat of killing a divine immortal by taking him on one to one.
But it didn't matter. With the current situation in Luocheng, he had other options!
The blizzard flooded the thatched cottage and the place looked as though it belonged to another world that was different from the outside world. Every movement here was unable to break through the blockade of the cold. At that instantaneous moment, thoughts were floating in Meng Qi's mind and he had already understood the situation and inferred the changes.
Clang!
There was a touch of blue light that looked like moonlight descending from the sky — Ren Qiushui had drawn out her Biyue Sword.
Looking solemn and on her guard, her eyes had a slight glow that was unique to swordsmen. With an enemy of the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword's level, her realm was still too far from him, even with the Celestial Slashing Sword Manual. Moreover, she had just become an earth immortal. As such, she didn't dare to have a duel and could usually choose to avoid in advance. Now that there was no way for her to avoid, she shall fulfill her long-cherished wish and experience the Taishang Demon Sword.
Her Biyue Sword was a divine level heavenly weapon given to her by her teacher and created by Lord Lingbao. If she exhibited the power of the sword and the Celestial Slashing Swordplay to their fullest, she might still be able to resist the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword for a short while to let her mysterious partner who possessed the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception break through the isolation of the Blizzard World and create an escape route.
When Ren Qiushui was going to draw out her sword, the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword had already struck. As someone from the Demonic Sect, he never practiced courtesy.
The black sword beam was like a poisonous snake, spreading forward in void space. The snowflakes around them turned dark, as though there were invisible killings hidden in every corner, and the sword beam that was visible might not be real.
At this moment, Ren Qiushui's pupils enlarged as the color of her face changed. Her right hand was obviously shaking and she was unable to strike with her sword.
The Demonic Sword had yet to come but she seemed to have already fallen into an inner battle. She was unable to stop the sword and could only look blankly at the sword beam pierce toward the center of her brows.
Inside Ren Qiushui's spiritual world, a five-clawed dragon covered with black scales was wreathing. Its body was filled with a demonic fog and emitted a terrifying coercion as it started a desperate battle with her spirit.
The Taishang Demonic Sword — the sword spirit cuts the heart and the sword beam cuts the body, attacking with both illusion and realism, its mystery was beyond fathom. As long as any aspect couldn't be blocked, its opponent would have a deadly ending!
Bringing along black snow, the poisonous black snake meandered toward Ren Qiushui. She tried hard to focus, transforming the Biyue Sword into a moon in front of her, attempting to resist. The Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword's snow-white complexion and red lips seemed to be already near.
At this moment, she saw the divine sword that was giving off red, green, yellow, white, and black lights in Meng Qi's hand draw a circle.
The sword beam formed a circle with five colors agglomerating like a bangle before hitting toward the Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword.
The five-colored circle of light firmly bound the yin and yang changes. Its center was chaotic, seeming like it had proliferated into a world of its own but also looked as though it was going to contain and devour all things. It was the beginning and also the end.
The flying black snow shrank and collapsed toward the core of the five-colored circle of light before disappearing. The poisonous snake-like sword beam displayed numerous changes, both real and illusory, but always couldn't escape being enveloped by the circle of light, as though it was predestined.
It also seemed as though the two parties were at different time and space. There five-colored light circle was fast whereas the Demonic Sword's changes were slow which resulted in it being exposed with no more secrets.
Meng Qi had struck this sword by combining the yet accomplished the Wuji Seal with the Fairy Slaying Swordplay and the Celestial Parting Sword's power!
The Heavenly King of the Demonic Sword was a little taken aback. His eyes were filled with the five-colored light circle which he couldn't figure out. With a shake of his right hand, the Demonic Sword suddenly enlarged and transformed into a giant pillar supporting the snowy world, displaying a hell-like world within the haziness and knocking toward the light circle vigorously.
Breaking skillfulness with force!
Poof!
The Demonic Sword hit the light circle but felt a sense of voidness as darkness engulfed the approaching majestic force.
Meng Qi's right hand trembled and the divine sword whizzed, seeming as though they were unable to withstand a force of this level. They were almost unable to stabilize the light circle when the chaotic air in the middle of the circle suddenly expanded and created chaos all around it.
