Chapter 579 – The Demon Suppression Tower (1/2)

Thrum! Clang! With a series of metallic sounds, several dozen swords burst out of his body, stabbing out of his back, arms, neck, and even mouth.

Lietu’s demon qi erupted. His body was covered with swords like a strange, twisted hedgehog of metal. He crouched on the ground, staring at Xiao An in resentment, having merged with the sword completely.

This was extremely similar to complete demonification. It was very difficult to turn back from. The Evil Eye would gradually devour him until he became a part of the sword. Basically every master of the Evil Eye had met their end like this, while the Evil Eye grew stronger and stronger.

However, before he was completely devoured, he would obtain great strength, enough to kill them.

“Even if I die, I’ll drag you all down with me!”

The eyeball became completely embedded in Lietu’s chest. It swiveled around, and a speck of green light suddenly appeared in the centre, turning into a green iris. It stared at Xiao An.

The iris was Lietu’s demon heart. His arms and legs had all become long, sharp swords. Pushing off from the ground, he vanished.

Xiao An swung down with her sword, and with a clang, two swords collided. She had struck the arm that Lietu swung towards her.

“Die!” Lietu howled fiercely.

Cling! Clang! With a string of metallic sounds, several dozen swords burst out of his body, stabbing towards Xiao An’s golden avatar.

His long arm that was as sharp as a sword wrapped around the golden avatar conveniently, wanting to bisect Xiao An along the waist like a huge guillotine.

No matter how powerful Xiao An’s swordsmanship was, she could only forcefully endure a strike like that with her golden avatar.

These swords were as sharp as the Evil Eye itself. After obtaining Lietu’s demon heart, they even became much sharper. The golden avatar gave way, and the swords dug in by several inches. Any further and they would reach Xiao An’s body. There was a sword only inches away from her forehead.

Xiao An dispersed the golden avatar swiftly, using the opportunity to break free from Lietu’s restraint with her petite figure.

Isn’t this merely a temporary relief that’ll lead her to her demise? Without the protection of the golden avatar, a single strike will be enough to threaten her life, the Dauntless monk thought, only to see Xiao An recondense her golden avatar. All the damage from before had vanished.

When Xiao An struck again, she was much more careful, just in case Lietu caught her again. However, losing the upper hand now became unavoidable.

Even if Xiao An managed to land a blow on Lietu with her vajra sword, his swords would block it, so she achieved nothing. On the other hand, as the fusion between Lietu and the Evil Eye deepened, their attacks grew more and more swift. A sudden thrust left behind a deep mark in the golden avatar.

Lietu turned into a rotating storm of metal, filling the air with golden power every time he collided with the golden avatar. And, he moved faster and faster too, giving Xiao An no time to condense her golden avatar again.

A while later, the magnificent and detailed golden avatar was reduced to a horrible shape.

Xiao An was already pushing the Guardian King’s Scripture of Demon Subdual to the limit, but Lietu’s strength completely surpassed Demon General after merging with the sword. A regular cultivator would have become riddled with holes from a single clash with him.

“A little help here!” Xiao An said.

“Alrighty!”

Li Qingshan looked back with a smile. He waved his hand, and the pitch-black Chains of Demon Suppression criss-crossed over, extending towards Lietu.

“Useless!”

Lietu barked. Several dozen swords emerged from his body, cutting and tearing apart the Chains of Demon Suppression. Suddenly, a black shadow loomed over him; he looked up, only to see a nine-layered tower, pitch-black like ink. It had appeared out of nowhere, imposing and dignified, utterly unstoppable.

The second move of the Demon Suppression Statuary, the Demon Suppression Tower!

Boom!

The entire square shook violently. The Demon Suppression Tower fell from above, trapping Lietu inside.

“Sure enough, this move is plenty devastating,” Li Qingshan smiled.

“Release me!”

Lietu’s bellows rang out from the Demon Suppression Tower. After merging with the Evil Eye, it constantly devoured him. If he could not kill the two of them quickly, then he would be completely devoured in the end, becoming a part of the sword. In the end, he would only benefit Li Qingshan at his own expense.

He struggled desperately. Swords plunged out of his body, but the black tower was not as fragile as the Chains of Demon Suppression. The swords rapidly weakened before they had even approached the tower, and the demon qi in his body was rapidly suppressed.

Lietu was very tough. He threw himself against the tower madly, shaking and swaying the Demon Suppression Tower; it was like it could tip over at any time.

Li Qingshan waved his hand again, and nine Chains of Demon Suppression flew over with a clank. They wrapped around the Demon Suppression Tower before pinning it to the ground and pulling themselves taut. The Demon Suppression Tower immediately stopped shaking. Sounds of collision continued to ring out, but the Demon Suppression Tower did not even budge anymore.

“Done. So this is the true usage of the Chains of Demon Suppression. They work with the Demon Suppression Tower for suppression. Just how many people can escape this?”

Having learnt a new, powerful trick, Li Qingshan was overjoyed. The only issue he had with it was the moves in the Demon Suppression Statuary focused on suppression and not killing in a single strike.

The Chains of Demon Suppression can still trap the opponent before I kill them, but the Demon Suppression Tower completely isolates the opponent from me. If this Lietu doesn’t die by himself, I have to move the Demon Suppression Tower before coming up with a way to finish him off. How troublesome!
