The Man Who Had Thirteen Swords Piercing His Body, Yet Refused to Fall!

'Fight with all my might, and then the character [Senior Brother Gao Sheng] can [sacrifice] according to the plot,' Song Shuhang thought to himself.

If it were an ordinary cultivator at the Third-Grade Realm, facing a large group of third or Fourth-Grade demons, they would surely be easily wiped out in one fell swoop.

However, Song Shuhang was confident that he could put up a fight for a bit and make [Senior Brother Gao Sheng] die in a cool way.

Several of the cultivation techniques and martial arts skills he practiced were effective against evil spirits.

With the added blessing of the Merit Light emanating from him, if he is careful, he might be able to slay one or two demons before he 'dies'.

<Steel Hand> enhances his physique and arm strength.

"Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles" and "The Heavenly Movement Is Vigorous" enhance his evasion ability and burst speed.

The special Liquefied True Qi generated by the <Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique> allowed him to possess the power of Fourth-Grade Cultivator's 'Innate True Essence' when he was at the Third-Grade Realm.

Both the Holy Light Swordsmanship and the Vajra Demon-Subduing Fist Magic City.

"Come on." Song Shuhang gripped the precious sword tightly.

The demons roared and charged forward.

Leading the charge was a Bull-Headed Evil Demon.

Just as it was about to reach Song Shuhang, it suddenly swung its arm and threw its giant axe at him. The secret Song Shuhang was narrow, Bull-Headed Evil Demon couldn't wield its giant axe effectively at close range. So, before the fight even started, it simply threw its weapon as a projectile.

The axe blade was larger than Song Shuhang's body; if it hit him, it would probably smash him into mincemeat.

"<Reverse Scale Saber Technique> - Dragon Dance!" Song Shuhang swung his blade in a horizontal slash.

The sword Dragon Dance, accompanied by the roar of a dragon.

He had no intention of taking the blow head-on. Just as the giant axe was about to smash down in front of him, Shuhang unleashed his ' Dragon Dance Form, striking the side of the axe precisely.

The trajectory of the giant axe changed, spinning as it struck the stone wall behind Song Shuhang.

Boom! The secret passage shook, and the giant axe became wedged directly into the stone wall.

At that moment, the minotaur demon also rushed up. When it reached Song Shuhang, it swung its fist, which was larger than a pressure cooker, at Song Shuhang's head.

Besides the minotaur demons, more than a dozen humanoid demons swiftly approached, each wielding a sharp sword.

Clearly, this was deliberately orchestrated by the Fairy Lychee in secret, to complement the scene later where [Senior Brother Gao Sheng] is struck by thirteen swords and heroically sacrifices himself.

Good timing!

With a flick of his wrist, Song Shuhang swung his sword to meet the Bull-Headed Evil Demon's fist.

The Bull-Headed Evil Demon is a Third-Grade- rank demon, with thick skin and brute strength, but its attack speed is rather clumsy. Overall, it's a punching bag-type demon that looks imposing but isn't very strong and is rather slow.

The reason it was able to take the lead and be the first to make direct contact with Song Shuhang was also due to the secret manipulation of Fairy Lychee. This was so that [Senior Brother Gao Sheng], who was only at the Third-Grade Realm, could have a few cool moments before he died.

The Fairy Lychee had good intentions.

"Boom!" The Overlord Shatter Saber, and flames rose up.

Flame Blade. This was the first time Song Shuhang had used the 'Flame Blade' taught to him by Daoist Scarlet Firmament after advancing to the Third-Grade Realm.

Even now, when wielding this blade, Song Shuhang still needs to first imitate the Heaven-Burning Saber Intent of Daoist 'Master Scarlet Firmament'.

This time, however, the 'Flame Blade' lacked a bit of domineering aura and gained a bit more sharpness amidst its Heaven-Burning flames.

The Flame Blade is arguably Song Shuhang's most mysterious martial arts skill. Even when he borrowed the CPU cheat code from Young Master Phoenix Slayer, he couldn't improve the level of this 'Heaven-Burning Flame Saber'. Therefore, Song Shuhang spent the most time studying this blade technique during his daily training.

Now, when wielding this sword, although he still needs to imitate the Saber Intent of Daoist 'Master Scarlet Firmament', Song Shuhang has already incorporated his own ideas into it.

"You brat, prepare to die!" The Bull-Headed Evil Demon was very confident in its fists. It directly slammed its fist into the treasured sword, completely disregarding the Overlord Shatter Saber and the flames burning on it.

Boom! The Overlord Shatter Saber collided with the Bull-Headed Evil Demon's fist.

Song Shuhang felt a slight tremor in his arm; the immense force from the Bull-Headed Evil Demon's fist caused him to involuntarily take a small step back.

The Bull-Headed Evil Demon even worse; Shuhang's Overlord Shatter Saber, could slice through the flesh of Fourth-Grade Cultivator.

Having taken a direct hit from Song Shuhang's blade, the Bull-Headed Evil Demon's fist was completely destroyed.

Moreover, the flames on the Overlord Shatter Saber suddenly erupted when Song Shuhang unleashed his strike.

The flames engulfed the Bull-Headed Evil Demon's fist, instantly engulfing its entire body.

The Flame Blade formed from the Saber Qi energy was far more powerful than ordinary fire; once it adhered to the Bull-Headed Evil Demon's body, it burst into flames.

"Aaaaaah!" The Bull-Headed Evil Demon screamed and collapsed to the ground.

Its body rolled on the ground, and evil energy from the Netherworld surged from it, trying to suppress and extinguish the flames.

But at that moment, the Flame Blade energy seemed to sense the 'Netherworld Evil Aura' and suddenly surged.

A vast and majestic power had been added to the flames.

With the blessing of this power, the Bull-Headed Evil Demon was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye!

Behind them, the dozen or so humanoid demons that were attacking them were taken aback.

Instant kill!

The Bull-Headed Evil Demon was actually instantly killed by this Third-Grade human cultivator's 'Flame Blade'? Although the Minotaur was clumsy, it had thick skin and thick flesh, and its defense was quite good among Third-Grade demons.

Even Fourth-Grade Cultivator would find it difficult to kill the Bull-Headed Evil Demon with a single strike.

Could this Third-Grade human cultivator be another Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor in disguise?

Not only Demon Hair stunned, Song Shuhang himself was also dumbfounded for a long time—Holy crap, when did my Flame Blade become so awesome?

Even if he had a deeper understanding of the 'Heaven-Burning Flame Saber' and infused the Saber Intent with his own will, the power of the Flame Blade couldn't possibly have increased this much!

Song Shuhang recalled the flames that turned the Bull-Headed Evil Demon to ashes. Within those flames, there seemed to be a familiar energy aura—it was the aura of Heavenly Tribulation!

Having just survived a tribulation, Song Shuhang was very sensitive to the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Song Shuhang couldn't help but stare at the Overlord Shatter Saber, in his hand...

Could it be... the reason the Overlord Shatter Saber?

Shuhang remembered that when he Tribulation Transcendence, the Overlord Shatter Saber silently absorbed and stored a small amount of Tribulation Lightning power.

Heavenly Tribulation Lightning is the greatest nemesis of the Nine Nether Demons.

It's possible that his 'Flame Blade' attack just now contained a Heavenly Tribulation Lightning power stored within the Overlord Shatter Saber. That's why the Third-Grade Bull-Headed Evil Demon was 'instantly killed'.

The dozen or so humanoid Nine Nether Demons were stunned for a moment, but soon a blood-red madness resurfaced in their eyes.

One of the humanoid demons gritted its teeth and said, "This human cultivator is only at the Third-Grade Realm. Be careful of the knife in his hand. There's something wrong with that knife. As long as we avoid his knife, this human is nothing to fear! Increase the frequency of our attacks and prevent him from activating the flames on his knife again!"

After he finished speaking, more than ten Nine Nether Demons swiftly attacked Song Shuhang again.

When they were about eight meters away from Song Shuhang, more than ten demons attacked in unison. Hidden weapons, spikes spewing from their bodies, needles, and venom sprayed from their mouths were all fired at Song Shuhang. They were trying to use this method to prevent Song Shuhang from 'activating' the flames on the treasured sword.

<Reverse Scale Saber Technique> - Dragon Dance Form!

Song Shuhang calmly wielded his treasured sword. With a single slash, it resembled a giant dragon in motion. Faintly, the roar of a dragon could be heard emanating from the Overlord Shatter Saber.

All the hidden weapons that the Nine Nether Demons used to attack Song Shuhang were swept away.

With a wave of ranged attacks, more than ten Nine Nether Demons instantly closed the distance between themselves and Song Shuhang.

"Now!" the Nine Nether Demons shrieked, its longsword thrusting towards Song Shuhang from all angles.

[That's about it!] At this moment, Song Shuhang estimated in his mind that 'Senior Brother Gao Sheng' was also about to complete his mission and die after being pierced by the thirteen swords.

After Senior Brother Gao Sheng dies... it's time for Senior Brother Gao Sheng's dual cultivation partner, [White-Clad Swordsman Fan Bai], to make his appearance.

Song Shuhang's only consolation was that his [Senior Brother Gao Sheng] had died a step earlier than [Fan Bai]. It was so good that he died early and was reborn sooner, unlike the Medicine Master who had to hold Jiang Ziyan's 'corpse' and cry his heart out.

Song Shuhang mentally calculated the safe distance.

As more than a dozen demons of varying sizes thrust their swords out from all directions, Song Shuhang activated a hidden mechanism on the sleeve of his Daoist robe.

The next moment, a blinding light burst forth from his body, enveloping him and more than a dozen demons.

At the same time, a row of sword hilts popped out from his Daoist robe with a 'thud,' and sword tips also popped out from his back, making Song Shuhang look as if he had been pierced by more than a dozen swords.

Immediately afterwards, Shuhang quickly lay down on the ground in a comfortable position so that the thirteen sharp swords that had 'passed through' his body wouldn't hurt him so much.

"Done." Song Shuhang smiled smugly to himself. Under the cover of the blinding light, he was much more composed when he 'died' than the predecessors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group'.

After getting into position, Song Shuhang waited for the 'transparent shield' to appear and block the swords that more than ten demons were thrusting at him.

But... the 'transparent shield' that should have appeared to protect him didn't pop up!

The system froze? Song Shuhang was startled. Or perhaps, he didn't have a 'shield' on him at all.

What a pitfall! So many pitfalls for 'fathers'!

Why don't I have a shield?!

Was I too naive to initially believe my 'Daoist robe' had a built-in shield?

Are you kidding me?! I'd really die without the shield!

Wait, now's not the time to complain!

In a fraction of a second, a dozen demonic swords would pierce his body.

What to do?

There's no time to use the <Reverse Scale Saber Technique> now, and the Daoist robe he got from the Foreign Monk isn't even on his plate.

Moreover, because he assumed a comfortable death position when he 'feigned death', he now has no space to hide. Unless he can 'teleport', he has nowhere to hide.

This is a desperate situation!

Song Shuhang tried to remain calm and began to think... Should he try unleashing his Liquefied True Qi to form a protective aura? However, his opponents were all Fourth-Grade demons. Such a crude method of using Liquefied True Qi for protection wouldn't be able to stop these sharp swords.

[I still have the Armor Talisman! ]

However, since the Armor Talisman is in the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag,' taking it out and then Armor Talisman also takes time.

After much thought, the only solution now is to use the Steel Hand and the Overlord Shatter Saber to protect my vital points and withstand these dozen or so sword strikes.

It doesn't matter if he gets injured elsewhere, as long as he doesn't die, Fairy Lychee and Senior Phoenix Slayer will be able to react immediately and save his life.

I never imagined that filming a movie would lead to such a deadly situation.

Earth is so dangerous.

The blinding light emitted by the Daoist robe could only affect the Nine Nether Demons for a fleeting moment.

After they regained their sight, they saw Song Shuhang lying on the ground in a strange position, his body pierced by many sword blades and covered in blood...

Is he playing dead again?

The Nine Nether Demons have become numb to this.

Wait a minute, this human cultivator who's pretending to be dead doesn't have a transparent shield!

The eyes of the Nine Nether Demons brightened.

Although they didn't know why this human cultivator didn't have a shield, their swords were merciless. Seizing the opportunity, they thrust at Song Shuhang without hesitation.

As the sword drew closer to Song Shuhang, he activated his 'Eye Aperture Talent'.

With his Eye Aperture Talent to see clearly, he could see the angles of the demons' swords perfectly.

He mentally calculated the positions where the sword blades would pierce, pinpointing the 'vital points'.

He then used his "Steel Hand" and the Overlord Shatter Saber" to block his vital points.

At that moment, Song Shuhang suddenly felt an urge to learn the Golden Bell Shield or Iron Shirt techniques.

Ta-da!

The demons' swords pierced down!

However, Song Shuhang, who was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, did not feel any pain.

A layer of bright armor appeared beside him.

It's the power of the [Armor Talisman]!

"Onion Lady, thank you!" Song Shuhang immediately realized what was going on.

"Hmph, if you truly want to thank me, then give me my freedom back." A soft snort came from Onion Lady's arms. Just now, in the moment of crisis, Onion Lady activated the 'Armor Talisman' in the 'Inch-Shrinking Bag' in place of Song Shuhang.

The power of the Armor Talisman enveloped Song Shuhang, blocking the demons' swords.

However, the [Armor Talisman] is only Fourth-Grade- grade defense, and its effectiveness will not last long.

Without hesitation, Song Shuhang opened his mouth and roared out the Lion's Roar that he had been preparing for.

The sound waves of the Lion's Roar rolled like thunder, and were combined with Song Shuhang's Mouth Aperture Talent [Phantom Voice] ability. The demons attacking him were stunned for three seconds.

Three split seconds is enough for Shuhang to turn the tide.

Song Shuhang leaped up from the ground.

The Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique is operating at full power.

"Flame Blade!" Song Shuhang flicked his wrist, unleashing the Flame Blade. At the same time, his body spun violently.

The Flame Blade spun with his body, forming a ring of fire, and the Flame Blade energy devoured all the demons surrounding Song Shuhang.

Senior Brother Gao Sheng, whose body was pierced by thirteen sharp swords, stood imposingly holding his sword.

In the distance... Director Jacob frowned and ordered, "Tell Mr. Song to stop showing off and just die already. Don't let him come back to life."

An elder in my family passed away yesterday morning. I've been busy since yesterday, barely getting any sleep... Updates may be a bit irregular for the next three days, please forgive me.
