The azure lightsaber arrived with incredible speed, its light illuminating the dark tent and the terror on Chen Yong's face.
In the critical moment, Chen Yong immediately calmed down. He immediately circulated the power of his internal organs and muscles, took a deep breath, and exhaled after his chest expanded to its maximum.
"Break!"
Seventh-Rank Martial Artist is still unable to condense true essence, and the most commonly used method to deal with changes in Law Technique is thunderous sound.
By stimulating the power of the internal organs, the sound can be amplified a thousand times, containing the powerful intent and Qi and Blood energy of a martial artist, which is always effective in breaking spells.
Chen Yong's sharp shout was like a thunderclap piercing the sky, and the sound waves he emitted caused a huge impact on the surrounding void.
The tent in front suddenly expanded under the influence of the sound waves, and various small items inside the tent shot out in all directions.
The lightsaber that shot towards them was the first to be hit, its speed was significantly reduced, and specks of azure light splashed out from its surface.
However, the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword maintained its intact structure and did not shatter under the sonic impact.
Zhou Wuji, standing fifty paces away, felt relieved. Sure enough, his cultivation had advanced to the Sixth Rank, greatly increasing the power of his Law Technique.
The thunderous roar unleashed by Seventh-Rank Martial Artist at full power could no longer easily break his Law Technique.
While a martial artist may be strong in direct combat, that strength is relative to those of the same level.
A difference of one rank in cultivation level means there is a huge gap in the cultivation level between the two parties.
Moreover, his Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword has reached Transformation Realm, perfectly matching the Northern Dipper Tianshu Scripture.
Currently, the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword is also his strongest Law Technique.
The orthodox Daoist Secret Method cultivated to such a level are far beyond the reach of Yin Yang Dao Devil Cultivator. It would be a joke if they were easily broken by martial artists!
Chen Yong had no time to think about anything else. He channeled his Qi and Blood and unleashed his full power, but failed to break the lightsaber. He knew something was wrong.
Clearly, his Thunderclap technique was ineffective. He immediately drew his sword and slashed fiercely, preparing to break through the illusion with solidity. He had practiced the Water-Parting Saber for thirty years, and his swordsmanship was both fast and accurate.
Although the thunderous sound it unleashed failed to break the lightsaber, it did slow down its speed.
Just as the longsword struck the lightsaber, the foot-long azure lightsaber suddenly split into two lightsabers, one above and one below, striking Chen Yong's throat and chest.
Chen Yong was even more shocked; how could this lightsaber split into two?
Having practiced swordsmanship for thirty years, he reacted almost instinctively to this change. He turned his longsword, stepped back, and used a move called "wrapping the head and brain."
This move, which uses a knife to protect the head and body while also incorporating a backward movement, can be described as an extremely ingenious response.
Zhou Wuji, who was controlling the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword from afar, praised him in his heart. Regardless of his character, this person's martial arts skills were truly exquisite.
Of course, he's still a notch below Zhang Xinhu. He's probably on par with Wu Di.
Considering that this person is also a Gu master, he is even more extraordinary.
The Five Dragons Gang has indeed produced some talented individuals to become a powerful force in Yunyang Prefecture.
Zhou Wuji thought this to himself, but it didn't stop him from wielding the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword.
The opponent was very adept at responding, but after all, it was just martial arts, and due to the limitations of his body, he could only execute limited variations.
The Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword is controlled by Divine Sense, which is equivalent to controlling it with an invisible hand, and it has thousands of variations.
Chen Yong had calculated the speed of the lightsaber while using his longsword for protection, but Zhou Wuji paused for a moment while manipulating the two split swords.
Chen Yong realized something was wrong, but it was too late to transform into a longsword.
The two lightsabers thrust forward simultaneously, Chen Yong could only inhale, shrink his chest, and retreat as fast as he could, but he was no faster than the two lightsabers.
The azure lightsaber flashed and pierced Chen Yong's chest.
Like a streak of light, but sharper than a steel sword, it pierced through Chen Yong's heart.
The heart is the foundation of Qi and Blood, and also the source of power for Seventh-Rank Martial Artist.
Chen Yong also had Black Dragon Gu mother Gu growing in his chest, and the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword contained the power of the Demon-Slaying Star, which was specifically designed to counter Gu worms and evil spirits.
The Black Dragon Gu mother gu was struck by the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword and was immediately shattered, but it did not die immediately. Instead, it became extremely frenzied.
Chen Yong connected mentally with the mother Gu, and he immediately felt the pain and rage transmitted by the mother Gu at the level of Divine Sense, which made him fall into a daze.
Another lightsaber had already silently pierced Chen Yong's throat. With a twist of the azure lightsaber, a ring of blood appeared around Chen Yong's neck.
With a look of terror on his face, Chen Yong swayed, and his head rolled to the ground, his headless body gushing blood.
Zhou Wuji ignored the dead Chen Yong; his Six Yang Dharma Eye could see the life force of the mother Gu.
Chen Yong's chest suddenly exploded, and a black snake with four legs suddenly sprang out.
The black snake was extremely fast, and it darted off along the ground in a flash.
Zhou Wuji was slightly surprised. The mother Gu was different from the two mother Gu he had killed. It was hit by the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword but did not die. Moreover, its body remained intact, which was very strange.
He naturally couldn't let the mother Gu escape, so he spun and shot out two light swords.
The azure light shimmered and intertwined, instantly pulverizing the black snake that was writhing on the ground.
The life force of the black Gu worm dissipated.
Zhou Wuji sensed something was wrong. He opened the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, but it contained neither the fate of a Gu Master nor any Gu worms.
He was utterly bewildered; how could the Gu Master be alive even with his head gone?
Suddenly, a crimson light flashed on the crude altar, the flames reaching several meters high.
The distorted gaze transformed into a long snake with four legs, just like the mother Gu from before.
However, a single horn grows on the snake's head.
At this moment, everyone in the secret realm had awakened. They came out of their tents and saw the strange changes on the altar.
The crimson dragon formed from flames danced and twisted in the air, making a gesture of raising its head and roaring.
Through his Six Yang Dharma Eye, Zhou Wuji observed that the Yin Qi condensed by the crimson dragon was exceptionally strong, yet it also faintly contained the aura of life.
He guessed that the Gu Master's soul might have merged with the Gu worm, and the Gu worm might have merged with the remnant soul of the dragon.
The Gu Master and the Gu worms were killed by the Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword, but it also allowed the Gu Master to complete his Gu technique and truly merge with the remnant soul of the dragon.
Fortunately, he had the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, which told him that the Gu Master's soul was not destroyed and the Gu worms were not dead, allowing him to make a quick judgment.
The remnant soul of a dragon is nothing special in itself, but it becomes very dangerous if it is controlled by a Gu master.
Zhou Wuji dared not delay, and he immediately unleashed two Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword to thrust forward.
The remnant soul of the dragon, composed of crimson flames, suddenly split into countless streams of light, covering the Five Dragons Gang surrounding the altar.
The group of over twenty men from the Five Dragons Gang were all physically strong, and many of them were Eighth Rank Hidden Force martial artists.
But they were powerless against the crimson light; no matter how much they circulated their Qi and Blood, the crimson light easily merged into their bodies.
These people transformed into crimson flames amidst the flowing light, burning fiercely.
In the blink of an eye, their bodies exploded in the crimson light, their flesh and blood turning into crimson flames, leaving only their heads rolling on the ground.
The crimson flames transformed by the crowd were exceptionally strong, and they gathered again on the altar, forming a crimson dragon.
Having killed so many people, the crimson dragon's body had become noticeably more solidified.
Zhou Wuji immediately understood how the sacrificial offerings in front of the altar had died.
The evil spirit transformed from the remnant soul of the dragon was indeed eerie and terrifying.
Instead of taking the opportunity to attack, he was chanting incantations and making hand seals, preparing a corresponding Law Technique.
Zhou Wuji felt that the Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder was more effective at dealing with such evil spirits.
Of course, he didn't forget to first cast the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation on himself.
The azure light robe draped over him like a cape, giving him a greater sense of security.
The main problem is the strange nature of the Gu worms; the Big Dipper Heavenly Gang Divine Incantation can resist the invasion of various Yin Qi and evil spirits.
The crimson dragon's vertical eyes slowly turned, its ethereal gaze locking onto Zhou Wuji.
Zhou Wuji raised his voice and said, "Are you even human?"
The crimson dragon blinked its vertical eyes, revealing a very human-like expression of confusion.
However, since it is formed from condensed flames and has no real body, this human-like expression only makes it seem more eerie.
The crimson dragon didn't hesitate for long; it suddenly stretched out its body and pounced on Zhou Wuji.
Zhou Wuji didn't move, but the crimson Zhou Wuji was incredibly fast, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.
Just as the crimson dragon opened its jaws to pounce, Zhou Wuji pointed a finger, and the clear, shimmering water formed from the Yin Thunder stretched out like a long snake, directly covering the crimson dragon.
With a muffled boom, the Yin Thunder suddenly exploded, and the crimson dragon deformed and shattered amidst the stretching, shimmering water.
The next moment, crimson flames shone on the altar and once again coalesced into the shape of a dragon.
However, the flames on the dragon's body had dimmed, clearly indicating that the attack from the Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder had caused significant damage.
Zhou Wuji, however, realized that the remnant soul of the dragon was rooted in the altar.
With his Six Yang Dharma Eye, he saw what appeared to be a jar hidden deep within the center of the altar.
Zhou Wuji chanted incantations and performed hand seals again, preparing to unleash the Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder.
The crimson dragon seemed to sense something was wrong and once again fiercely pounced on Zhou Wuji.
Zhou Wuji pointed his finger and activated three Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword.
The three lightsabers transformed into three azure light wheels that spun rapidly, shredding the crimson dragon flames into a shower of light.
These showers of light converged on the altar once more. Zhou Wuji exerted force with his feet and followed the scattered showers of light to the front of the altar.
Before the flames could coalesce again, the three lightsabers spun and fell toward the center of the altar.
The wood used to build the altar was shredded to pieces, the bone spur jars that were covered by wooden planks were also shredded by lightsabers, and porcelain shards flew everywhere.
Without the nourishing and protective jar, the remnant soul of the dragon fully surfaced.
This time, the remnant soul of the dragon was completely dark, lacking the powerful aura of the previous bursts of flame, but instead exuding a more sinister and terrifying presence.
Before the remnant soul of the dark dragon could react, three Seven Stars Demon-Slaying Sword swiftly arrived, shredding the remnant soul of the dark dragon into wisps of black smoke.
Zhou Wuji's Law Technique was ready. He pointed his finger and once again activated the Northern Dipper Heavenly Pivot Yin Thunder.
Like a continuous stream of water and lightning, it stretched out, covering and engulfing plumes of black smoke.
Amidst a muffled rumble of thunder, the water's shimmering light dissipated, and the dragon's dark silhouette vanished without a trace.
The gloomy and foul atmosphere that had been lingering in the air was completely swept away.
Zhou Wuji glanced at the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment, which had added a Flood Dragon Gu Master, which could be converted into five Origin Profound Spirit.
Without the Gu Master and the Gu worms, they were obviously all included in the calculation. It's likely that numerous blood sacrifices were also involved, which brings the total weight to five taels!
The fact that the Northern Emperor's Book of Heavenly Punishment classified the remnant soul of the Flood Dragon as a Gu Master was indeed somewhat unexpected to him.
The five ounces of Origin Profound Spirit have reached the Fifth Rank rank, which is the highest level of destiny he has obtained.
Zhou Wuji glanced at the numerous heads on the ground, his mood becoming slightly heavy.
But he quickly composed himself, and by killing the Gu Master and the others, he avenged them.
