Heavenly Sword Imprisons Demonic Blade

Inside True Martial City.

Many martial artists are discussing it.

They were speculating when the Blade Demon would arrive.

But at almost the same time, many powerful figures, including Divine Wind Blade Master and Sun Chasing Sword King, were startled and turned their gazes into the distance.

"They're here!"

They had all fought against the Blade Demon, so they were naturally familiar with his aura. In addition, the Blade Demon made no attempt to conceal his presence, so they were able to detect his trail from a distance.

In an instant.

One after another, powerful figures soared into the sky, all converging towards True Martial Mountain.

Everyone in the city naturally witnessed this scene, and all of them focused their gazes, then became excited.

The only reason they could think of for the sudden appearance of the Sword King and others, who had been silent for many days, was the arrival of the Blade Demon.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Many martial artists converged on True Martial Mountain. True Martial City has been expanded repeatedly, and it is now very close to True Martial city. Some powerful martial artists can even observe the battle in the distance from within the city. However, they still rushed there, wanting to witness this once-in-a-century event up close.

An elderly blind man slowly rose, looked at the storytelling shed that had been deserted in an instant, and couldn't help but chuckle.

He shook his head, his empty eyes gazing in the direction of True Martial Mountain, a hint of curiosity in his heart:

"I wonder if Heavenly Sword Real Person is an old friend of yours?"

He had witnessed the battle between the Blade Demon and the Sun-Chasing Sword King before, and confirmed that the Blade Demon was not the real person. Now, he had returned to confirm whether the Heavenly Sword Real Person was indeed the real person.

"What a pity, although the Sword Demon is exceptionally talented, he is ultimately lacking in some ways." The blind old man shook his head and sighed, a strange sense of sorrow in his eyes. His empty gaze stared blankly, somewhat frightening, and it was unclear what he was thinking. He did not go to True Martial Mountain, but simply stayed quietly in the storytelling shed.

A vast number of martial artists gathered in one place.

In the past, there were many powerful experts at the Gang Essence Realm, but they were all very low-key. This was because there were now quite a few experts at the Celestial Person Realm. One after another, Celestial Person Realm experts walked through the air, while the rest ran on the ground.

The martial artists who had built wooden huts throughout the mountains also sensed the commotion and headed towards True Martial Mountain.

Amidst the intense scrutiny of the world.

An old man with disheveled hair came barefoot.

Heaven and earth were silent.

Awe rose in everyone's eyes. This was the reputation that the Blade Demon had earned by fighting his way up with his blade. He had defeated more than half of the entire Celestial Person Ranking, and many peerless experts present were his defeated opponents.

General Shenyu couldn't help but feel a sense of horror just by watching. He felt that the sword intent emanating from the Sword Demon was somewhat sinister, as if it wanted to cleave him in two. He was secretly relieved that he had been studying the way of the spear and the people of the court, so the Sword Demon would not challenge him. Otherwise, if he were to face such a terrifying opponent, just thinking about it would make his scalp tingle.

Some observant people have already noticed.

The hilt of the sword at the sword demon's waist was almost invisible, only the size of a thumb remained. It was no longer recognizable as a hilt; it was clearly just a small piece of iron, without any hanging object, yet it was firmly attached to the sword demon's waist.

The Sword King of the Sun exclaimed in amazement:

"He... has become even stronger than when we fought. It's unbelievable. I'm afraid he's only one opportunity away from reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship."

He knew.

The Sword Demon follows the path of forgetting the sword through battle, using countless battles to completely forget his own way of the sword, thereby reaching the ultimate state where everything can be a sword.

It seems easy, but in reality it requires extremely profound knowledge. It seems that the Blade Demon makes great progress after each great battle, but the fundamental reason is not the battle itself, but the Blade Demon himself. It is not so easy for others to imitate.

All eyes were fixed on the Blade Demon.

But the Blade Demon seemed not to hear.

After he appeared at the True Martial Mountain, his gaze never left the sword monument.

Compared to before March.

His strength had improved further, but the sword tablet remained as unfathomable as ever. He had a certain guess in his heart, but he couldn't be sure. Only the solemnity in his dark pupils was as real as a physical presence.

He walked slowly, step by step, captivating everyone's attention.

Until it stood a hundred feet away from the True Martial Sword Stele.

"Senior Blade Demon..." Luo Wentian began, but immediately stopped, sensing that Blade Demon had entered some kind of magical state.

The disciples of the True Martial Sect clenched their fists secretly, somewhat nervous.

The shadow of a person is the name of a tree.

Since the emergence of the Blade Demon, he has stirred up a storm. Every day they hear countless news about him. Now, the Blade Demon has finally come knocking, ready to challenge the most powerful force in their True Martial Sect, the Heavenly Sword Real Person!

Zhuang Chen, Li Ling, and Ning Qi were also mixed in with the crowd. Zhuang Chen and Li Ling's faces were flushed red with excitement.

Zhuang Chen, in particular, had just been talking to Ning Qi about the Heavenly Sword Real Person and the Blade Demon, but before he could finish speaking, the Blade Demon arrived, and he hurriedly pulled Ning Qi over to watch the battle.

Ning Qi looked at the sword demon in the distance of the sword monument, his expression calm and composed, only raising an eyebrow slightly.

He could tell.

Compared to a few months ago, the Blade Demon is much stronger, but he is still one step away from reaching the pinnacle of the Blade Dao. Perhaps a single opportunity will be enough for him to reach that level.

"Does he really intend to break through to the Martial Saint by mastering the Dao of the Sword?" Ning Qi's eyes flashed, and a certain thought arose.

Although he felt that breaking through to the Martial Saint using the ultimate level of swordsmanship was probably not so simple, he could perhaps observe it and gain inspiration from it.

Amidst the intense scrutiny of the world.

The Blade Demon fell silent before the True Martial Sword Stele.

"What is the Blade Demon doing? Why hasn't he challenged him yet?"

Many people began to have doubts.

However, people like the Sun-Chasing Sword King were filled with doubt and suspicion. They vaguely sensed something, and a sense of shock gradually rose in the depths of their eyes.

Amidst the various discussions...

A powerful, demonic sword intent surged from the Sword Demon, stirring up the wind and clouds. The sword intent lingered around the sword monument, its might overwhelming, yet it gave the illusion that the sword intent was always slightly inferior to the sword monument.

This time.

Even those whose cultivation level wasn't high enough vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

The Canghai Sword Sect members gaped in disbelief.

"Heavenly Sword Real Person... has he really taken that step?"

He hadn't stepped out of the Pearl Island of the Canghai Sea for a long time. If it weren't for the challenge from the Blade Demon, he wouldn't have come to True Martial Mountain at all. He knew the name of the Heavenly Sword Real Person, but this was the first time he had experienced it so directly.

Everyone was shaken.

The Blade Demon stood suspended in mid-air, amidst swirling winds, roaring to the heavens:

"Heavenly Sword Real Person, please enlighten me!"

Anyone could sense the astonishing fighting spirit and fervent anticipation emanating from his dark pupils.

Everyone held their breath, for this alone revealed the Blade Demon's completely different attitude from before. In the previous dozen or so battles, he had never He Yan before the battle, but now he was saying "Please enlighten me," which spoke volumes.

Everyone looked expectantly toward the back mountain of the True Martial Sect, for everyone knew that the Heavenly Sword Real Person lived in seclusion there.

Ning Qi's eyes flashed.

With his current level of skill, even if he were to unleash a sword strike from a distance, no one would know it, and defeating the Blade Demon would be no difficult task.

But he didn't want to be so high-profile.

With a thought, a figure in black robes soared into the sky from the True Martial Mountain.

After reaching the Celestial Person Realm, the secret technique of the Formless Body was further optimized, allowing him to easily unleash 70-80% of Ning Qi's strength. Moreover, the control range was longer, and the clones were more agile. However, at this moment, the black-robed elder's expression remained as cold as ever, devoid of any emotion.

Many people were seeing the true face of the Heavenly Sword Real Person for the first time, and they all gasped in surprise.

now.

The Blade Demon and the Heavenly Sword Real Person stood facing each other, and an invisible aura swept out like a tidal wave. In a daze, it seemed as if a terrifying roar resounded through the void. Strands of Sword Intent floated around the Heavenly Sword Real Person, causing all the peerless swordsmen to narrow their eyes. They had already seen some clues.

The usually taciturn Sword Demon seemed to have become a "chatterbox," laughing wildly to the sky:

"Good! It wasn't in vain that I left you until last; you certainly didn't disappoint me!"

Heavenly Sword Real Person remained indifferent and silent as always.

Everyone was pondering the meaning of the Blade Demon's words.

Then they discovered a terrifying sword intent soaring into the sky, the power of heaven and earth converging and twisting into invisible vortexes in the void, filled with demonic power—this was the Blade Demon's signature Three Demon Blades.

"The Demon Blade!" The chilling words echoed through the void.

The sword demon merges with the sword, transforming his body into a demonic blade.

A black demonic blade slashed upwards, seemingly about to tear apart the void, carrying a demonic nature that could annihilate everything.

Many powerful figures were shaken to their core. Many of them were not even worthy of the Blade Demon's strike. Even the mighty Divine Wind Blade Master was defeated by this strike. Yet now, the Blade Demon had unleashed this strike directly, and it was even more powerful than when he fought against the Sun Sword King.

The Sun- Sword King narrowed his eyes. He had also used all his strength to deal with that attack, and his Great Sun Sword Intent had almost reached its full potential to match it.

He was somewhat looking forward to seeing how Heavenly Sword Real Person would respond.

But Heavenly Sword Real Person still stood with his hands behind his back.

His expression remained unchanged. He simply raised his hand and pointed, and Sword Intent surged throughout the endless void around him. In an instant, a celestial sword materialized. It seemed ordinary at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was terrifying. Some saw its extreme sharpness, some saw its endless, surging power, and some saw its domineering force like Heavenly Thunder...

A celestial sword manifests in all phenomena.

Ning Qi chuckled, Heavenly Sword Real Person raised his finger, causing the Heavenly Sword to crash down. If the sages of the Heavenly Immortal were to become enraged, they would unleash heavenly punishment.

In the reflection of everyone's pupils, the demonic blade that had been flowing against the current shattered inch by inch, vanishing without a trace.

The heavenly sword crashed down.

When it reached within three zhang of the sword demon, it vanished without a trace.

The Heavenly Sword Real Person's indifferent words rang out:

"Use your strongest moves."

Everyone was horrified.

With just this one move, the difference in skill was immediately apparent.

The Sword King of the Sun was extremely unsettled. Even though he had been prepared, he was still shocked. His words were slurred:

"At the pinnacle of Sword Dao, everything can become a sword..."

Not only him, but many peerless experts on the Celestial Person Ranking also saw it, and their hearts were filled with surging waves. They never expected that Heavenly Sword Real Person had really reached such a realm. It is said that in the past, such a supreme realm was one of the conditions for becoming Martial Saint!

"Could it be that Heavenly Sword Real Person has already reached the Martial Saint realm?" This thought startled everyone, and they immediately shook their heads.

In the past two thousand years, apart from the Great Flame Martial Saint, no other Martial Saint has been born, which they find unlikely.

The crowd was in a state of great turmoil.

But the Blade Demon felt unprecedented pressure.

This is the state of being he yearns for.

now.

His gaze toward the black-robed Daoist was filled with fervor, as if he had seen some glimmer of hope.

He realized that his previous probing was really wrong.

The Blade Demon took a deep breath, unleashing his full blade intent without reservation. At this moment, the void around him, the ground beneath his feet, and his own body were all filled with a terrifying blade intent that was sublimating.

"This sword embodies the unity of heaven, earth, and humanity, a state of utter tranquility. It is not yet Perfection; please enlighten me True Person!"

The Blade Demon's voice was deep, and a demonic light flickered in his pupils, as if he were under immense pressure.

The Sword King of the Sun shuddered, then gave a bitter smile.

He felt that the Blade Demon had an even stronger strike that day, and now it seems that his feeling was indeed correct. The Heavenly Demon Blade is not the strongest; the Annihilation Blade, formed by the fusion of the Human, Demon, Earth, and Heavenly Demon blades, is the essence of the Blade Demon's swordsmanship.

This is his way of the sword, and also the sword strike he relied on to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

If this sword Perfection, it means that the Sword Demon is about to reach the ultimate realm.

Under the terrifying pressure brought by the Heavenly Sword Real Person.

The Blade Demon was driven to madness, and he was also trying to forcibly elevate his Blade Dao to the highest level. This extremely terrifying strike made everyone hold their breath, and they just stared blankly. It seemed that endless Blade Intent surged from all directions of heaven and earth, and finally merged with the Blade Demon himself. If it weren't for the slightest Perfection, this would have been a peerless strike at the highest level.

Everyone saw it.

The expression on Heavenly Sword Real Person's face seemed to have changed slightly. He was no longer as indifferent as before, and his cold eyes began to show a look of serious readiness.

Ning Qi watched indifferently.

He nodded silently.

As he observed the Blade Demon's swordsmanship, he felt a sense of admiration. This person was indeed exceptionally talented. His path of uniting heaven, earth, and man was orthodox, and after fusing with the Demon Blade's intent, it became even more terrifying in its killing power. In a sense, this strike was already infinitely close to the ultimate level of sword intent Sword Intent.

This brought him considerable gains.

This devastating strike was enough to make the Blade Demon a match for any Celestial Person Realm expert, but unfortunately, he encountered Ning Qi.

Inside True Martial City, the blind old man raised his head, a look of astonishment clearly visible on his face:

"What a fine little fellow! What a pity, if he had appeared a few thousand years earlier, he would have been a great general."

He then turned his attention to Heavenly Sword Real Person. He felt that Heavenly Sword Real Person had a familiar air about him, but he was not any of his old friends.

He continued to "watch".

The Demon Blade's Annihilation Slash has been fully formed.

The jet-black demonic blade, imbued with nourishment drawn from heaven, earth, and humanity, possessed overwhelming power.

Heavenly Sword Real Person made a move.

His body trembled.

A vast and powerful Sword Intent manifested on his body. This time, all things in heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and every flower and blade of grass on True Martial Mountain were imbued with Sword Intent. The Sun-Chasing Sword King had used this move before, but it was nothing compared to what the Heavenly Sword Real Person was using now.

The Sword King of Chasing the Sun stared, mesmerized, as if on a pilgrimage. This was the realm he had always dreamed of, a realm he could not even begin to reach despite 160 years of arduous cultivation.

The boundless Sword Intent soared into the azure sky.

One after another, celestial swords condensed around the Heavenly Sword Real Person Master.

One becomes three, three becomes nine, and nine becomes one hundred and eight, which perfectly matches the numbers of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha.

One hundred and eight celestial swords flew across the sky, like one hundred and eight great suns, dazzling and unforgettable for many. In the past, everyone thought that the Heavenly Sword Real Person Master was skilled in the extremely powerful and lethal Celestial Sword Intent.

But at this moment, everyone sees something different.

They saw various Sword Intent among the 108 celestial swords, but none were complete. The Sun-Chasing Sword King even seemed to see his own Great Sun Sword Intent, which horrified him, as did the others.

Heavenly Sword Real Person stood with his hands behind his back, then pointed a finger.

Numerous celestial swords converged to form the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Sword Formation, and descended in unison.

The Blade Demon's eyes widened in shock.

The terrifying Annihilation Blade appeared so insignificant within this grand array of Heavenly Swords, yet it remained unyielding. Amidst the wild, raging hair, it urged its demonic blade to meet the attack. Under immense pressure, it advanced further, the hilt of its sword almost disappearing from its waist.

In an instant.

The world lost its color.

Everyone stared blankly at this scene. The demonic blade was like a trapped dragon, imprisoned in the center by the Heavenly Sword Formation, constantly being worn down. The Sword Intent and blade intent erupted in that small area, as if to annihilate the void. Some people saw that the void was truly distorted. This was not an exaggeration, but that area was indeed slightly distorted!

Those who knew the true value of this couldn't help but gasp inwardly.

But it's obvious.

The demonic blade continued to dissipate, and no matter how much the blade demon unleashed its power, it was all in vain. Although a small portion of the Heavenly Swords were shattered, many more Heavenly Swords continued to unleash their power, attempting to suppress the blade demon.

"Is the Demon of the Blades... about to be defeated?"

The same thought arose in everyone's mind, a mixture of excitement and melancholy.

Throughout his journey, the Blade Demon had never been defeated, and very few people had caused him much trouble. But now, he was about to be defeated by the Heavenly Sword Real Person, and all the fame he had earned along the way had finally gone to someone else.

The swordsmen were incredibly excited.

The members of the True Martial Sect also had a fanatical glint in their eyes.

With a bang.

A faint, crisp sound rang out, and the demonic blade finally shattered into pieces.

The Demon Blade has truly been defeated!

All eyes were filled with shock as they looked at the black-robed Daoist. Many people may have considered this possibility before, but they never expected that Heavenly Sword Real Person would win so decisively. Although it was not a crushing victory, it was still a great triumph.
