The Ship-Slaying Blade (Continued)

A magnificent Sword Qi soared into the sky, forming a straight pillar of energy that instantly turned the heavens crimson. Countless sword auras followed, plunging down like endless falling leaves or the rolling Yangtze River. The dazzling Sword Qi was both eye-catching and filled with astonishing killing intent, repeatedly eroding and crushing the opponent.

The strength of the Demon General became apparent at this moment. The weaker ones were immediately turned into bloody and mangled corpses and fell from the sky when they were hit by the wave of swords, accompanied by exploding blood, flesh and bone fragments. The stronger ones only suffered minor injuries and survived.

After the ultimate move, the encirclement formed by the Demon General immediately loosened, and everyone felt the pressure decrease significantly.

"Now! Run!"

The moment the man uttered those words, the ground below burst open, and the Thousand-Foot Spiny Qianzhang charged out, biting his lower body and swallowing him whole with a piercing scream.

At the same time, the southern mountain wall collapsed, and a boar demon as big as a small mountain rushed out and crashed straight into Lord Yunxia with the force of an earthquake.

Lord Yunxia had just unleashed her ultimate move, and at this moment her body was empty and lacked strength. She had no time to dodge and could only forcefully use the Soft Cloud Sword Art. Streams of Sword Qi flowed around her body like ribbons, attempting to overcome strength with softness.

However, the difference in their strength was too great. The Sword Qi ribbons were shattered as soon as they met. The difference in their size seemed to be an illustration of what it means to "strike an egg with a stone". With a loud bang, Lord Yunxia was sent flying like a baseball hit with a home run, landing heavily on the ground, covered in blood, with countless bones broken.

"We're doomed... we're all doomed now."

"I'm not reconciled! I just got engaged to my girlfriend a month ago!"

"My daughter is waiting for me at home, how could she die here..."

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone felt as if the door to despair had been firmly shut, blocking out the glimmer of hope and extinguishing their last shred of will to resist.

Seeing the despair on everyone's faces, a half-human, half-eagle Demon General couldn't help but let out a gleeful laugh. But this laugh aggravated his sword wounds, causing his smile to become ferocious with pain. Then, a burning hatred erupted from him, and he immediately locked his gaze on Lord Yunxia, who had just struggled to her feet from the ground.

"Woman, it's noon now; your time has come!"

With a flap of its wings, the vulture flew towards Lord Yunxia like an arrow, its sharp claws, gleaming with cold light, reaching out to grab her slender neck.

The next moment, a flash of rainbow light, blood and flesh splattered, and a head with its eyes wide open in death spun into the air.

"So weak yet dares to utter such arrogant words, may you be reborn as a white bamboo rat in your next life."

Si Ming caught the falling head with his hand adorned with the Vermilion Bird's claws, spat it out, and then casually tossed it away.

"You... you are Mad Ink!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Lord Yunxia immediately revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.

Si Ming looked at the still-shaken crowd and said, "It's all alright now. If you're wondering why, it's because I'm here."

"He... he's the Mad Ink who blocked the Demon Emperor and Military God?"

"So young! But the rumors say he's only in his early twenties. Could we be saved?"

"That's right, it's him. I saw him once during the last war between humans and demons. He definitely looks like that, and he's wearing the Mohist School's Profound Armor. Who else could it be?"

"Waaaaah... I can go back and marry my girlfriend now."

The crowd was overjoyed at surviving the ordeal, while the Demon General were filled with doubt and suspicion. The news of Si Ming's great Military God and the three Demon King was deliberately spread by the Military God to the outside world, and naturally would not be publicized internally to avoid shaking the Military God. Therefore, they did not know what the name "Mad Ink" represented.

But an expert's skill is immediately apparent. Even without having heard of his name, just seeing how easily Si Ming killed the vulture demon with a single move, leaving the vulture completely caught off guard, shows that his strength is unfathomable. The Demon General instinctively sensed that the human in the strange armor before them was a formidable enemy, and they didn't know whether to attack or flee.

"Are you all waiting for me to attack?" Si Ming snapped his fingers, and flames rose from the surface of the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor, evaporating the bloodstains. "Alright, since you are all so hospitable, I have no choice but to accept."

He formed hand Law Seals, circulated his True Qi to activate the law, and the sword wings on the back of his Profound Armor suddenly unfolded, and then the sword blades lit up, their surfaces covered with a layer of Gang Qi.

"The Vermilion Bird soars in the heavens, all demons submit, evil deeds are severed, monsters are banished and evil is vanquished, so be it!"

Si Ming pointed, and dozens of sword blades flew out like wind spirits. The surrounding air currents changed drastically, and countless wind blades appeared out of thin air, cutting through the air with a hissing sound, and shooting towards all the Demon General present.

The Demon General either dodged or attacked, but these blades, controlled by Si Ming's spiritual sense, all displayed astonishing agility, tracing wondrous paths invisible to the naked eye, dodging attacks at lightning speed, and tracking down fleeing enemies.

Sword Qi and wind blades overlapped and surged, growing more and more intense with each surge, making every inch of space in front of them densely covered with countless crisscrossing, sharp sword marks, as if turning this world into a Go board.

Puff puff puff!

Heads flew high into the sky like balls propelled by a fountain. These swords, imbued with the Evil-Slaying Sword Qi, were virtually indestructible. No matter how tough the scales or leather armor of the Demon General, they could not withstand a flash of cold light.

Headless corpses fell to the ground with thuds, and in a short while, Demon General present were dead, with only a few powerful Demon General escaping death.

After completing the clearing mission, the blades automatically returned to their original positions, were sheathed, and reassembled into sword wings.

Si Ming nodded in satisfaction. This function was tailor-made to complement his powerful divine soul, allowing him to control it by diverting his spiritual consciousness. An ordinary Spirit Transformation Grandmaster would not be able to multitask so flexibly.

"Roar!"

The Wild Boar King, as big as a small mountain, roared angrily. A large hole had been pierced in its body by the sword blade, and blood was gushing out. However, compared to its enormous body, this wound could only make it suffer pain and go berserk, but it was not fatal. It immediately charged angrily at Si Ming.

"When it comes to hitting someone, who's afraid of who!"

Si Ming drew the Vermilion Flame Sword, True Qi, causing the sword's temperature to rise rapidly, and then thrust it forward with lightning speed.

At the same time, the four precious pearls behind him flew outward and expanded, forming a huge fire magic circle. A fiery Vermilion Bird suddenly rushed out of the magic circle and overlapped with Si Ming who was thrusting forward.

The Sword Qi combined with the flames, and the originally raging flames seemed to solidify. The firebird transformed from the ethereal to the real, possessing both the sharpness of the Sword Qi energy and the intensity of the flames. Wherever it passed, it left a long red streak in the void, even distorting the light.

The Wild Boar King collided with the Flaming Vermilion Bird with a deafening roar, truly a thunderous and earth-shattering event. The surrounding hills trembled as if about to collapse. Si Ming, with unstoppable momentum, pierced through the enemy in one fell swoop. The Wild Boar King's massive body, propelled by inertia, flew hundreds of meters before crashing heavily to the ground. Then, a foul odor emanated from its body as flames burned from the inside out, reducing it to a pile of ashes in the blink of an eye.

Witnessing the easy killing of the Wild Boar King, the surviving Demon General realized they had encountered a true peerless expert and turned to flee.

"Your death stars have already been lit; it's too late to escape now!"

Si Ming merged with his sword, transforming into a dazzling Sword-Ray that stirred up beautiful dust that stretched across the void. With the enhancement of the Vermilion Bird Profound Armor, he was truly as fast as lightning, leaving several streaks of rainbow light on the retinas of others. He slew all the fleeing Demon General, leaving only a giant centipede, Qianzhang. The moment it saw Si Ming, it turned and fled, its body gradually sinking, about to burrow into the ground.

Just as Si Ming was about to give chase, Lord Yunxia used her last strength to speak, "Lei... Thunder King is holding off the rear alone, blocking the Military God and the Demon King Mengying. Only you can save him now."

"I see."
