Chapter 419 Northern Demons
A deafening boom, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, resounded. The gleaming longsword, imbued with unparalleled sword energy, collided once more with the inky black pillar of light. However, this clash was entirely different from the previous one. In an instant, there was no stalemate, no standoff. The longsword, like a bolt of lightning, streaked across the night sky, piercing straight through the black pillar of light with overwhelming force!
With a soft, crisp "whoosh!" sound, the once indestructible black pillar of light was easily cleaved in two. At the break, light burst forth, like a dazzling firework blooming in the night sky.
"What?!" The smug smile that had been playing on the lips of the mid-level Heavenly Demon froze instantly, as if time had stopped. His eyes widened, his face filled with shock, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, and his mouth gaping open, wide enough to fit an egg. Clearly, what was happening before his eyes was completely beyond his expectations, leaving him utterly incredulous.
"This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!" the mid-level Heavenly Demon cried out in utter terror, his voice trembling with extreme fear. At the same time, he didn't hesitate to use his movement technique, his figure rapidly retreating, attempting to avoid the unstoppable attack of the longsword. However, it was all too late.
In the blink of an eye, with a muffled "thud," the longsword, like a ghost, pierced the chest of the mid-level Heavenly Demon once more with lightning speed. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground red.
"Ah!" The mid-level Heavenly Demon let out a heart-wrenching, agonizing scream. After suffering a severe injury, his body flew backward uncontrollably, like a kite with a broken string.
Immediately afterwards, a dull thud was heard as the body of the mid-level Heavenly Demon slammed heavily onto the hard ground, instantly raising a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun and blurred vision.
"Cough cough..." The mid-level Heavenly Demon collapsed to the ground, coughing violently. With each cough, thick, black blood gushed from his mouth, a horrifying sight.
His eyes seemed to be swallowed by endless darkness, fear and despair intertwined, forming a chilling vortex. His trembling lips parted slightly, only able to utter broken words: "You...you..." The mid-level Heavenly Demon extended a trembling finger, pointing directly at Xu Nian, as if trying to express his last grievances and resentment. However, the life force was rapidly draining from his body like a burst dam, rendering him unable to utter a complete sentence.
Xu Nian walked steadily and slowly towards the mid-level Heavenly Demon. Each step carried an invisible pressure that made it hard to breathe. When he finally stood before the mid-level Heavenly Demon, his superior posture was like that of a god who controlled life and death. His gaze was icy and piercing, devoid of any pity, as if the person before him was nothing more than an insignificant ant.
"I told you, you're too naive." Xu Nian's voice was calm as still water, but the chill within it was enough to freeze the surrounding air. Before he finished speaking, he slowly raised his right arm, his fingers, held together, resembling an incomparably sharp sword. A sharp, flickering light gleamed at his fingertips, emanating a chilling killing intent that seemed capable of cleaving everything in its path.
"No...no..." The mid-level Heavenly Demon's eyes were filled with terror and pleading as he struggled desperately, attempting a final act of resistance. However, faced with Xu Nian's overwhelming strength, all his efforts seemed utterly futile. At this moment, the shadow of death had completely enveloped him. He didn't want to die like this; his desire to live had never been so intense.
But Xu Nian didn't hesitate at all. With a flick of his arm, a dazzling sword light streaked across the sky in the blink of an eye. A soft "whoosh" was heard, and the head of the mid-level Heavenly Demon flew off, soaring into the heavens. In an instant, crimson blood gushed out like a fountain from the severed neck, splashing onto the ground and creating horrifying patches of blood.
With the death of the mid-level Heavenly Demon, the previously overcast and stormy sky suddenly seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand. The heavy clouds began to dissipate, and dazzling sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds, once again illuminating the earth. In an instant, light shone brightly, and a warm aura spread, dispelling the tense and oppressive atmosphere of the previous moment. The world returned to its usual tranquility, as if the thrilling battle had been nothing more than a dream.
All that remained was a scene of utter devastation, with broken limbs and severed bodies scattered everywhere. Blood stained the ground, pooling into small streams that flowed slowly. The air was thick with a pungent, nauseating stench of blood.
Xu Nian expressionlessly sheathed his longsword, its blade gleaming coldly and still stained with the enemy's undried blood. He turned around, his steps firm and steady, his figure gradually disappearing into the distant horizon.
Just then, "Whoosh—!" A black shadow suddenly rushed from afar like lightning, its speed astonishing, bringing with it a sharp and piercing sound as it pounced straight towards Xu Nian.
Xu Nian suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowed instantly, and he reacted extremely quickly. He swung his longsword in the backhand, and a dazzling sword light shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun, heading straight for the dark figure.
"Boom!" The two collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful impact seemed to freeze the surrounding air, creating a visible shockwave that spread outwards.
However, the dark figure did not retreat; instead, it continued to charge forward, but ultimately could not withstand Xu Nian's incredibly fierce attack. With a crisp "crack!", the dark figure was easily shattered by the sword light, turning into countless black fragments that scattered in all directions.
But this was just the beginning. Then, with a series of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" more and more dark figures emerged from all directions, their sheer number sending chills down one's spine. These dark figures intertwined densely, like a black cloud obscuring the sky, turning the entire sky inky black.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these dark figures were actually low-level Heavenly Demons with ferocious and terrifying appearances, exuding an evil aura. They roared and lunged at Xu Nian, baring their fangs and claws.
Facing so many powerful enemies, Xu Nian showed no fear. He snorted coldly, "A bunch of ants!" Before he finished speaking, a powerful sword intent suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire scene like an invisible storm.
"Buzz buzz buzz!" Sensing its master's will, the longsword in his hand trembled violently, emitting a clear and melodious sword cry. This sword cry resounded through the sky, as if proclaiming its majesty to the world.
"Slash!" Xu Nian shouted, swinging his longsword with all his might. In an instant, dazzling sword lights poured out like a storm, sweeping across the low-level demons.
"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!" A series of dull cutting sounds rang out. Wherever the sword light passed, those low-level Heavenly Demons were torn in half, their flesh and blood flying everywhere. In an instant, blood mist filled the air, and severed limbs fell like rain, creating an extremely bloody scene.
The sword light flashed across the night sky like lightning, carrying unparalleled power. Wherever it passed, the previously ferocious and menacing low-level demons were instantly cleaved in two like harvested wheat, screaming in agony. Black blood gushed from their severed bodies, pouring down like a torrential rain onto the ground, forming pools of nauseating blood.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The remaining low-level demons, seeing this, not only showed no sign of retreating, but instead let out increasingly shrill and frenzied roars. Their eyes were bloodshot, flashing with a bloodthirsty light, and they charged towards Xu Nian fearlessly.
Facing the surging tide of demons, Xu Nian showed no fear, shouting, "Well done!" He exuded a strong fighting spirit, his entire being seemingly ablaze. Then, he flashed forward, like a shooting star, and charged into the demon horde.
In an instant, sword light flashed incessantly, streaks of cold light shooting out in all directions like fireworks. Xu Nian wielded his longsword with impenetrable speed and unparalleled ferocity, each swing bringing with it a storm of blood and gore. His figure moved freely through the demon horde, as if entering an empty field, like a tiger charging into a flock of sheep, slaughtering the low-level demon demons who howled and fled in terror.
However, some low-level demons, oblivious to their own mortality, still attempted to block Xu Nian's sword light with their own bodies. Unfortunately, their bodies were as fragile as paper before Xu Nian's powerful sword light, unable to withstand even a single blow. With a series of muffled impacts echoing through the sky, these low-level demons were either cut in half at the waist or cleaved into pieces, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Meanwhile, the aftershocks of this incredibly fierce battle continued to spread outwards. Under the immense force of the impact, the earth trembled violently, and deep cracks spread rapidly like a spiderweb; the surrounding mountains, unable to withstand the pressure, collapsed and tumbled down, raising clouds of dust. For a moment, the entire world seemed to be gripped by apocalyptic panic, but Xu Nian, amidst it all, continued to fight bravely and mercilessly.
"Die! Die! Die!" With each furious shout from Xu Nian, his figure moved like a ghost among the enemy ranks, his sword transforming into streaks of unparalleled lightning, each swing bringing a storm of blood and gore. He fought with increasing ferocity, his swordsmanship growing ever faster, so fast that it was dazzling, leaving only flashes of silver light in the air.
At this moment, Xu Nian exuded a terrifying killing intent that chilled people to the bone. This killing intent was so dense that it seemed to have materialized, like an invisible pressure enveloping the surroundings, making the already tense atmosphere even more heavy, and even the air seemed to freeze in fear.
"Ahhh!" With screams echoing through the sky, one low-level demon after another fell to Xu Nian's sword. Their corpses piled up haphazardly, gradually forming a mountain; crimson blood flowed like a river, running down the ground and staining the land a shocking crimson.
"Run!" Faced with the ruthless Xu Nian, some of the less timid low-level demons could no longer withstand the immense psychological pressure and scattered in terror. However, would Xu Nian easily let these fleeing enemies go?
With a crisp "hum," the longsword in Xu Nian's hand trembled violently, emitting a clear and melodious sword cry. At the same time, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from the blade, like a blazing sun hanging in the sky.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!" Xu Nian roared, his eyes wide. Immediately, he swung his arm, his longsword slashing out. In an instant, countless dazzling sword lights shot forth from the sword, intertwining and forming an impenetrable net of swords, as magnificent as a peacock's tail, spreading rapidly in all directions with overwhelming force.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" A series of muffled sounds rang out. The low-level demons who were desperately fleeing had no time to dodge and were instantly pierced by the dense rain of sword light. In the blink of an eye, their bodies became riddled with holes, blood and bits of flesh splattering everywhere, a gruesome sight too terrible to behold.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" With a series of muffled impacts, the corpses of low-level Heavenly Demons rained down from the sky like raindrops. The scene was like a terrifying black downpour, chilling to the bone. In just a moment, Xu Nian had swiftly and decisively slaughtered all the low-level Heavenly Demons, leaving none alive.
At this moment, a deathly silence fell over this vast and boundless world. Only Xu Nian stood alone, proudly unyielding, like an unshakeable mountain. He gripped the longsword, which gleamed with a cold light, and thick, black blood dripped slowly from its tip, splashing onto the ground and forming small black spots. He exuded an unparalleled aura of power, an aura that seemed to look down upon all things, sending chills down one's spine. In a trance, he seemed to have become the sole ruler of this vast world, controlling the life and death of all living beings.
"Who else?!" Xu Nian whirled around, his gaze icy cold as he surveyed the empty plains. His voice, like thunder rolling from the heavens, carried boundless majesty and domineering power, echoing throughout the entire world. For a long, long time, however, he received not a single response.
Seeing this, Xu Nian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer. Then, he resolutely turned around and strode away from the battlefield that had just witnessed a bloody battle.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly erupted. Xu Nian had only taken one step when a bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket and as black as ink, struck down from the sky, crashing directly into the spot where he had been standing. In an instant, the earth trembled violently, and with a deafening roar, the ground collapsed, creating a bottomless crater in the blink of an eye.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!" A sinister and terrifying voice suddenly boomed in mid-air, lingering for a long time.
