Translator: 549690339
Mingyue City held a Sword Discussion Conference every two years.
With the date just a few days away, many martial artists gathered here, especially when they heard that Jiang Ming, the Outer Realm Demon, was coming. They were all itching to test their skills against him, united by a common hatred.
Having laid eyes on Jiang Ming walking over, their excitement was tinged with a sense of fear.
After all, the rumors about him were indeed terrifying.
It was said that he had cut down a Great Grandmaster and a Great Demon.
Jiang Ming stopped 50 meters away.
Following behind him were Yun Shuang, Yan Hongyi, and Liuli. As for the coachman? He sighed in the distance.
He had originally intended to make some money by driving a carriage, but now he was stuck here.
He could only helplessly watch the mesmerizing battles that seemed to be between immortals: simply amazing!
“Eldest Senior Brother!” Yun Shuang was the first to salute the man at the forefront of the opposing side.
“Great Master Uncle!” Yan Hongyi bowed slightly.
Liuli, however, didn’t move.
She didn’t know the other party.
“Sigh…” Shen Zui let out a soft sigh.
He was of middle age, but his temples were streaked with white. Dressed in a white robe, he exuded a gentle and elegant air.
With a long sword on his back and Sword Intention flowing in his eyes, Shen
Zui looked to Jiang Ming: “Are you really the Outer Realm Demon?”
If 1 say I’m not, would you believe me?” Jiang Ming laughed. “Once prejudice is formed, it’s hard to eliminate. Just like you people: because a demon and a monster claimed 1 was an Outer Realm Demon, you’ve already judged me so.”
“You ARE the Outer Realm Demon!” A man in white, wielding a long sword, pointed at him. “Jiang Ming, if you’re not the Outer Realm Demon, possessing the power to slay a Great Grandmaster, why has no one ever heard of you?”
“You say 1 am, so 1 must be?” Jiang Ming replied.
“You are one!” The young man shouted, “Who would have thought that our human world would see the rise of another world-destroying Great Demon? Fortunately, you were discovered early; otherwise, if allowed to grow, you would surely wreak havoc on all living beings. Fellow cultivators, the opportunity to act on behalf of heaven has arrived.”
“Act on behalf of heaven?” Jiang Ming laughed, “Do you know what heaven is?”
“Heaven is our domain, our people!” the young man in white declared resolutely.
“That’s well said.” Jiang Ming remarked oddly, “Since you want to act on behalf of heaven, why haven’t you pacified the Ghost City? Why haven’t you exterminated the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain? Why haven’t you wiped out the bandits? Why haven’t you beheaded the plotters in the court?”
“No matter how wrong they are, they are still beings nurtured on our land.” the young man in white insisted.
“Indeed!” Jiang Ming chuckled, “Then tell me, what heinous crimes have the previous Outer Realm Great Demons committed?”
“The august Wuxiang Temple was destroyed.”
“The Ghost King annihilated an entire city and killed tens of thousands of people. Who bears the greater sin?”
“And another time, an Outer Realm Demon slashed open a city with one sword.”
“Impressive! But I hear in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, several cities have been turned into feeding grounds; the demons there eat human flesh and drink human blood. Look, that’s even more evil than an Outer Realm Demon.”
The two exchanged retorts back and forth a few times, and the young man in white eventually found himself red-faced and flustered.
“No matter what, you Outer Realm Great Demons are doomed to bring destruction to the world.” The young man in white stubbornly said.
Look, unable to refute me, you’re resorting to baseless, inflammatory claims.” Jiang Ming calmly replied, no longer looking at the other party. Instead, he raised his voice a bit and addressed the martial artists in front of him. “You turn a blind eye to monsters eating people, ghosts annihilating cities, and bandits running rampant. Yet, you won’t let go of me, someone who has no enmity with you, someone who has even killed demons, eradicated monsters, exterminated bandits, and who has never hurt an innocent person.”
“Really, it’s nonsensical!”
“Also, no matter what, I am ultimately human.”
“You should clearly see this point!
Jiang Ming sighed as he said this, “You all just pretend not to understand. You are just after the Undying Scripture. Everything else, about the Outer Realm and the Great Demon, is just an excuse.”
“Wrong!” Shen Zui stepped forward, his gaze sharp, “You are a demon in human skin, now just disguised. Your goal is your own growth. Once you have completely grown, you will definitely bring disaster to the world.”
“Yun Shuang!”
“Hongyi!”
“Liuli!”
“What are you waiting for? Come out!”
Shen Zui shouted loudly.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I thought you’ve always been selfless. 1 didn’t expect that one day you would be unable to distinguish right from wrong, what a disappointment,” Yun Shuang sighed.
She really wanted to go, she really did.
But she couldn’t!
After all, going would mean death.
Now, she could only follow one path to the end.
“Great Master Uncle.” Yan Hongyi bowed again, “Master was killed by
Vice-Palace Master Yun Lu conspiring with demons. Now you are not avenging
Master, but making things difficult for the savior of her daughter?”
“Indeed, you all have been bewitched by the Great Demon, twisted your will, enslaved your temperament, becoming the demon’s servants.” Shen Zui’s face sank, “Yun Lu was right, the Great Demon’s methods are unpredictable and extremely vicious. Now, 1 finally understand. If 1 don’t kill you all today, the entire world of martial arts will be enslaved by the demon one day, and our homeland will truly become a land of demons.”
“Yun Lu? 1 see.” Yan Hongyi suddenly realized, her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Shen Zui, “Master once said that you are a genius and very smart. At the time when Luo Mo and Tiger Dali attacked and killed us, you should have already thought that the death of the Palace Master was caused by Yun Lu. If we’d have escaped without you knowing beforehand, it would’ve been fine. Later on, the incident got bigger and bigger, but you never showed up to help us. I should have thought about it earlier, but I was still holding on to a slight hope, sigh…”
“Sigh!” Yan Hongyi sighed softly, “Liuli and 1 have always regarded you as our lifesaving straw. Unexpectedly, you became submissive to Yun Lu.”
“Submitting? No, succumbing seems more appropriate!” Yun Shuang suddenly understood, looking at Shen Zui with disdain, “Back then, he pursued the Palace Master but didn’t succeed, not competing for anything, just silently left. I used to think he was a real man, but now, he is a hypocrite and a lowly person.”
“A demon is truly a demon, using all means, and twisting their will to the extreme!” Shen Zui suddenly shouted, “Everyone, follow me to act on behalf of heaven.”
He took the lead and charged forward.
With a jump, he soared into the air, his long sword clashing as it unsheathed, emitting a cold and merciless sword qi.
The martial artists behind him also followed suit.
“Heartless Sword Intention, interesting!”
Jiang Ming shook his head as he looked at Shen Zui.
This man might have truly succumbed to Yun Lu, or it was possible that he wanted to kill Liuli to break his past obsession, so he could elevate his state of mind, break his shackles, and advance to the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.
Buzz…
While Jiang Ming was thinking, a surging Yin and Yang Energy turned into countless sword qi, easily blocking Shen Zui’s attack.
As the sword qi spun, it continuously clashed and instantly reached a hundred meters away, completely enveloping all the martial artists who charged forward.
This was a sword qi containing Yin and Yang Realm.
Those below Great Grandmaster couldn’t withstand it.
In an instant, there were wailing and blood-filled fog filled the air.
It was a total massacre.
“How is this possible?” Shen Zui stood on the ground, surrounded by Sword Qi, barely holding off the attack. However, when he looked back, he couldn’t help but shrink his pupils and tremble all over.
Among them were many Gang Qi Realm and even Grandmasters, who were killed in the blink of an eye.
“Everyone, why are you not taking action? When will you wait?”
Shen Zui roared loudly.
Clang…
Blades flickered in the distance, turning into a long river of light that slashed through the sky and fell down. The immense blade Qi seemed to split the vastness into two.
Die!
Immediately afterward, a long spear rolled up a violent wind, carrying the force of ten thousand pounds, and pierced toward Jiang Ming.
This long spear contained the sharp edges that could penetrate everything.
“Man and Sword as One!”
Suddenly, Shen Zui soared into the sky, and between the flowing Sword Light, his body formed a straight line.
Controlling sword with man and vice versa, Man and Sword as One brought his sword ability to an extreme.
A blade, a spear, and a sword attacked from three directions, surrounding Jiang Ming in the middle. It was clearly a premeditated move aimed at delivering a lethal blow.
Moreover, they all had the power of a Great Grandmaster.
But it didn’t end there.
A shadow suddenly appeared beneath Jiang Ming’s feet, the cold air seemingly turning the area into an extremely cold and freezing domain, causing the soul to shudder.
“Curse the soul, immobilize!”
This mass of darkness directly merged into the shadows, and as a hoarse voice sounded, the cold power seeped through the blood vessels and directly entered the soul.
“Ghost General!”
Jiang Ming made a judgment at the first moment.
The cold power made him shiver.
“To deal with me, you truly went all out!”
He sneered.
In his Sea of Consciousness, the Yin God transformed into a Great Sun, with flames burning around the edge. The Golden Crow inside opened its eyes and stared at the shadow behind him, giving off a crowing sound.
Hum hum hum…
The sound carried an extremely strong supreme yang energy, which instantly destroyed the invading power in the Sea of Consciousness and spread out.
It enveloped the shadow, and in an instant, the fire ignited, making sizzling noises.
Ahh…
A shrill scream suddenly sounded, filled with endless resentment. However, in the face of the supreme yang fire, it quickly dissolved.
“Ten Thousand Ghosts Conceal the Sky! Die for me!”
The hoarse voice was filled with shock and anger, as the black shadow completely erupted, and a rolling mass of Yin Qi swept out. Unfortunately, it was suppressed and burned clean by the Supreme Yang fire.
Erupt?
It was impossible.
“Damn it! How could a cultivator like you cultivate Supreme Yang power?”
The Ghost General roared, but the sound grew weaker and weaker.
Meanwhile, the other three Great Grandmasters’ attacks arrived.
“Yin and Yang, spin, spin, spin!”
Jiang Ming used his power to deal with the Ghost General while defending against the attacks.
Sword Qi formed by Yin and Yang energy kept increasing, forming circles upon circles, which not only defended but also launched endless attacks.
The blade light tore through nine layers of Sword Qi, but in the end, it shattered and completely crumbled, never even reaching within three feet of Jiang Ming.
The most frightening was the long spear that pierced everything, concentrating its power on one point, tearing through layers of obstruction and stopping at a distance of about a foot.
Shen Zui’s Man and Sword as One, without any retreat, released all sharp edges, getting closer inch by inch.
The closer it got, the slower it became.
The sword light also continually melted.
His Gang Qi was quickly torn apart.
“What kind of swordsmanship is this? How can it be so terrifying?” Shen Zui’s face was filled with despair.
It was more desperate than facing a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm powerhouse.
“Golden Light Cuts Through the Sky!”
Jiang Ming raised his hand, pointing his index and middle fingers together to form a sword finger, and with just one strike, the Fifth Sword easily pierced Shen Zui’s brow.
“It’s not that I’m terrifying, but that you all are too weak!” Saying this, he reached back and grabbed the opponent’s long sword.
This was the Mingyue Sword, which was a famous sword in the world.
“Just a little ghost, daring to sneak attack me?”
“One Sword of Creation of the Light!”
“Die!”
Jiang Ming, while multitasking, erupted to his full power. As his body turned, the Mingyue Sword emitted a bright light.
Yes, it was light.
After obtaining enlightenment in the Sky Tower, he integrated it into the light realm and deliberately created a swordsmanship.-
Ninth Sword: One Sword of Creation of the Light.
The Ghost General had already been suppressed by Jiang Ming’s Yin God transformed Supreme Yang Phenomenon. At this moment, one sword strike destroyed it.
Of these opponents, the most difficult to deal with was undoubtedly the Ghost General.
Unfortunately, it had met its match in Jiang Ming.
Whether it was Divine Skills or the comprehension of the Bright Sword Way, it was completely restrained.
“Still want to escape?”
Jiang Ming looked at the other two, who almost died of fright when they saw him kill Shen Zui and behead the Ghost General. They turned around and tried to flee..
