Chapter 496 The Sword Saint Returns, Battling the Demon Lord Once Again

Four disciples of Wushuang City left, leaving only Third Tong, Senior Brother Aotian, and the red-clad swordsman.

"Juniors have met seniors."

Third Tong and Ao Tian stepped forward to pay their respects, and Ao Tian, ​​as the young master of Hundred Swords Manor, added a word.

"Thank you for your reminder, senior. May I ask what brings you to my Hundred Swords Manor?"

"I came for the nameless."

"So you came for Senior Wuming. You've come at the wrong time; Senior Wuming returned to Muming Town ten days ago."

"Ming Town?" The red-clad swordsman murmured, nodded in gratitude, and looked at the third girl, who was sizing him up, giving her a rare smile: "Little girl, what's your name?"

Indeed, while Aotian was talking to him, Third Tong was observing him closely.

The person before him was remarkably similar to Wuming, not only in appearance but also in the aura emanating from him. Both exuded a desolate feeling and carried a mythical aura that could inspire worship and reverence in thousands.

However, unlike the other character, the nameless senior is righteous and compassionate, with a heart for the world and pity for all living beings. He gives the impression that he would not hesitate to sacrifice his own life for the sake of the righteous path of the martial arts world.

But this person carried an aura of indifference towards the common people, as if he would not be moved in the slightest even if he slaughtered the world for his own selfish gain.

Third Tong could sense that the red-clad swordsman in front of him was no less skilled than Wuming. If he had been willing to make a move, he might have been able to save the Hundred Swords Manor disciple from before, but he did not.

But then he deliberately reminded the disciple not to touch the sword.

What a contradictory person.

More importantly, if she wasn't mistaken, the sword in the red-clad swordsman's hand should be the Hero's Sword.

Unexpectedly, before she could even ask the red-clad swordsman's identity, he spoke first.

Third Tong clasped his hands in greeting and replied, "This junior is Third Tong."

"The third family?" The red-clad swordsman paused slightly, then asked doubtfully, "Your swordsmanship is good, but it shouldn't be your third family's ancestral swordsmanship, right? What's it called?"

"The Flowing Light and Broken Dreams" was taught to me by my master in a state of panic.

"Nice name, nice sword, and you're quite good too, little girl." The red-clad swordsman nodded. He rarely praised people, but this little girl in front of him certainly deserved praise.

Third Tong smiled modestly: "Senior, you flatter me."

The red-clad swordsman smiled and shook his head, turning his gaze down the mountain path. The fighting below had ended, and a carriage could be seen slowly approaching in the light rain.

"That old bastard Sword Saint, despite his extremely low level of understanding, unexpectedly managed to reach the Heavenly Sword Realm and comprehend the Heaven-Destroying and Earth-Shattering Sword Twenty-Three." The red-clad swordsman made no attempt to hide his disdain for the Sword Saint, while also praising Sword Twenty-Three: "However, this Sword Twenty-Three move is indeed a sword that annihilates all living beings. Even I am not confident in my ability to withstand it."

Third Tong looked him over again, genuinely curious about his identity, and bowed, asking, "May I ask your honorable name, senior?"

"Me? Heh, I'm just a traitor. You all entertain the guests, I'm off!"

After saying this, the red-clad swordsman soared into the sky like a sword, tearing through the air and disappearing into the distance.

Watching the figure gradually disappear, Ao Tian couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that besides my master, the Sword Saint, and the nameless senior, there would be such a powerful swordsman in the world."

Third Tong nodded in agreement: "Indeed impressive. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I'm afraid he's no less skilled than the Nameless Senior."

"Speaking of which, his sword is the Hero's Sword, and it even bears some resemblance to the Nameless Senior. Could he be the Nameless Senior's brother?"

"maybe."

"By the way, Senior Sister, can you tell who fought the Sword Saint just now?" Ao Tian asked curiously.

He wasn't stupid; he could naturally glean from the red-clad swordsman's words that one of the people fighting was a sword saint. So he was very curious about who the person who fought the sword saint was. After all, judging from the aftershocks of the battle, the opponent's swordsmanship was probably no weaker than that of the sword saint.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who fought against the Sword Saint should be one of the top ten martial artists—Wu Wudi." Third Tong had seen Wu Wudi fight against Ying Xun and still remembered Wu Wudi's aura.

"One of the top ten martial artists on the Shock Ranking?!" Ao Tian exclaimed in surprise, "He also knows swordsmanship?"

Third Tong rolled her eyes: "You've seen Master use the Ten Strong Martial Arts before, so what's so strange about him knowing swordsmanship?"

"That's true." Ao Tian smiled rather awkwardly. "By the way, Senior Sister, have you ever met the Sword Saint? What kind of person is he?"

"I've never met him. When I became a disciple of my master, the Sword Saint had already gone to Japan. But I heard from Mingxin and Senior Sister Minghui that the Sword Saint was a good person."

Just as the two siblings were talking, the carriage at the foot of the mountain slowly drove up to the mountain gate.

The carriage was extremely luxurious, with the carriage made of the finest sandalwood, adorned with exquisite carvings, and magnificent curtains hanging low to block out the outside world. The words "Peerless" were embroidered on the curtains in gold thread.

The carriage stopped, and the first to step down were two beautiful young women who looked to be about the same age as Third Tong. They were Mingxin and Minghui, who had come from Wushuang City.

"Sister."

Aotian and Santong shouted with laughter, clearly both very happy.

Having not seen each other for over a year, Mingxin and Minghui were quite happy. After greeting each other, Mingxin asked curiously, "How did you know we would come to Baijian Manor today?"

"You're so stupid. The commotion was so loud just now, of course they could have noticed it." Minghui was already more reserved than Mingxin, and now that she was managing Wushuang City with Mingyue and Bai Suzhen, she had gained even more authority.

However, this did not frighten Mingxin. After all, as bold as she was, there were only two people she feared in her life: an angry Ying Xun and her grandmother Wushuang, who raised her from childhood.

Before she could even start arguing with her sister, more people got off the carriage.

The Sword Saint needs no further explanation.

It's worth mentioning that a beautiful woman carrying a child got off the bus with him.

Dressed in white, her appearance was in no way inferior to Yan Ying, the former number one beauty in the martial arts world, but she did not have Yan Ying's charm. With willow-leaf eyebrows and bright eyes, she had a dignified appearance. Her figure under the white clothes was very graceful, but thanks to the well-fitting clothes, she looked very elegant and did not have any excessive plumpness.

Unsurprisingly, this person is none other than the Sword Saint's lover, Miyamoto Yukino.

As for the child she was holding, he looked to be about two or three years old, and his appearance was somewhat similar to that of the Sword Saint, so he was obviously the Sword Saint's child.

"Junior Third Tong (Aotian) greets Senior Sword Saint."

The swordsman carefully examined the two of them before nodding with a smile: "Not bad, worthy of being disciples of my brother Ying."

Ao Tian smiled and asked, "Senior, was the person you just fought Wu Wudi?"

"Indeed, I sparred with him." The Sword Saint nodded, and couldn't help but sigh, "I have to say, his strength is truly terrifying; few in the world can rival him."

As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked with some surprise, "By the way, who was the person who just left? His sword intent was no less than that of Wuming."

Ao Tian shook his head: "He didn't say, he only said that he was a traitor and that he came to find the Nameless Senior. His appearance is somewhat similar to the Nameless Senior, and his sword is also somewhat similar to the Hero Sword."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Saint recalled for a moment before pondering, "Perhaps I know who he is. By the way, where is your master?" "Master went out half an hour ago, but his wife and junior brother are here. Please, senior!"

Yes, Ying Xun went out for half an hour.

He went out with the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

The reason the two went out was simple: to test the power of the divine weapon, Nine Heavens.

That day, his battle with Indra was merely a preliminary test of the Nine Heavens, and he did not fully understand the characteristics of the Nine Heavens.

Over the days, Ying Xun became increasingly familiar with the divine weapon in his hand and increasingly itchy to test its power, but he lacked a sparring partner.

In this world, there are few people who can let him act freely; in the entire Baijian Manor, only Bai Suzhen is one of them.

So he found the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, who was also very interested in the peerless divine weapon, Jiuxiao. The two hit it off and came to the banks of a great river.

This place is open and deserted, allowing one to fully unleash their martial arts skills.

Two figures flashed like lightning, sand and stones flew, and the river water surged like a dragon.

The Divine Weapon Nine Heavens constantly transformed in Ying Xun's hands, sometimes into a knife, sometimes into a sword, sometimes into a spear or a halberd... and no matter what weapon it transformed into, it was flawless, reaching the pinnacle of weaponry.

In response, Bai Suzhen gave Jiuxiao's most prominent ability a name—"Ten Thousand Forms".

The power of extreme yin and yang converged in the hands of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen. Black energy gathered on her slender hands, which was the Death Crossing driven by the Maha Boundless.

When Ying Xun absorbed nearly two thousand years of power from Di Shitian, this power was extremely profound and powerful, especially the Heavenly-level Maha power that Di Shitian had cultivated. If he were to fully utilize it, it might disrupt his own balance and cause him to suffer a backlash.

Therefore, he only absorbed a portion of the power; the rest was refined into blood crystals.

The so-called Blood Crystal is a red crystal formed by fusing the phoenix blood and internal energy within Emperor Shitian's body, storing most of Emperor Shitian's internal energy.

A portion of it contained the true energy of the Heavenly Maha, which was absorbed by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen. Therefore, Bai Suzhen now possesses the power of the Heavenly Maha, just like Ying Xun.

This current "death crossing," combining yin and yang, without beginning or end, is several levels more powerful than the original.

But when this palm strike, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rivers, landed on the divine weapon Nine Heavens, it didn't shatter Nine Heavens, nor even leave the slightest crack.

This is precisely the second characteristic of the Divine Weapon Nine Heavens—immortality and indestructibility.

In short, it is not easily damaged.

It's important to know that the divine weapons in the world of Fengyun are not particularly sturdy; the Hero Sword, the Peerless Sword, the Snow Drinking Blade, and many others have all been broken.

After five years of tempering, the Divine Weapon Nine Heavens fused the Four Divine Stones and other divine weapons such as the Great Evil King and the Heavenly Fate Blade into one, and with the addition of peerless blood, its defensive power surpassed that of all other divine weapons in this world.

At least in the world of Fengyun, its strength is absolutely number one and incomparable.

After the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen struck the heavens with her palm, a powerful and profound force immediately merged into Ying Xun's body, becoming part of his true energy.

This is precisely the third characteristic of the Divine Weapon Nine Heavens—using others' skills for one's own benefit.

To put it simply, Jiuxiao has the ability to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth, as well as the power of attacks from opponents, to replenish the energy of its user.

With this ability, Ying Xun, whose recovery ability was already amazing, was completely unafraid of any protracted battle.

Boom!

The next moment, Ying Xun flicked his wrist, and the Nine Heavens Blade slashed out, a chilling blade aura sweeping across the surrounding area, turning the area within dozens of feet into a frozen wasteland.

Among the four divine stones, Ice Soul, Black Frost, and White Dew all possess the power of frigidity. Therefore, using martial arts with the attribute of coldness in Jiuxiao will have twice the effect with half the effort.

This is the fourth characteristic of Jiuxiao, named by You Ruo—"Han Jue Cang Sheng" (meaning "Coldness that Destroys All Living Beings").

The extreme icy power surged like a tidal wave, as if nothing in the world could not be frozen, but Bai Suzhen shattered it with a single palm strike, showing that this woman's palm power had reached an incredible level.

"Be careful!"

Ying Xun roared, and a malevolent aura surged forth from the heavens, transforming into countless figures that covered the sky and the earth.

These figures included wandering knights and warriors, farmers and laborers, scholars and poets, monks and Taoist priests... regardless of gender, age, wealth, or social status, they all had faces full of resentment and eyes filled with hatred, and they rushed towards Bai Suzhen like a tide.

Each phantom that pounces forward carries a sinister move, each with its own unique aura and posture. Some are as swift as a meteor or lightning, some as graceful as floating clouds in the sky, and some as fierce as a thunderbolt, displaying endless variations and a myriad of forms in an instant.

The convergence of countless forces erupted, becoming increasingly violent and terrifying. Bai Suzhen, positioned at the center of the phantom's attack, was like a small boat in a raging storm, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

This is the fifth characteristic of Jiuxiao, because this move is evolved from the evil energy of the Great Evil King and the Ten Tribulations of the Evil King. It can control people's hearts with evil energy and also evolve all living beings with evil energy.

Therefore, Ying Xun directly used the name of the ninth move in the Ten Tribulations of the Evil King - Myriad Evils and Floating Life.

This move is extremely powerful, filled with evil energy. It can not only harm people, but also affect their minds and cause them to go mad.

Fortunately, Ying Xun did not use his full strength; those phantoms were merely for show. Otherwise, even Bai Suzhen, who cultivated demonic energy, would have been affected.

Faced with this move, Bai Suzhen used Snow Crossing, condensing countless ice spikes to blast away the demonic shadows, causing the evil energy to scatter.

At this point, the Divine Weapon Nine Heavens still has two characteristics: complete annihilation of form and spirit, and boundless existence within the Nine Heavens.

However, Ying Xun showed no intention of making a move.

The phrase "body and spirit annihilated" means that when the physical body is injured, the primordial spirit can be severely damaged.

In other words, the true power of this move comes after it injures the opponent.

The Nine Heavens Limitless is the weapon Nine Heavens that allows one to unleash up to ten times the power of their own.

Given Ying Xun's current strength, neither of these two moves is suitable to be used against Bai Suzhen.

In short, Ying Xun has mastered the seven characteristics of the Nine Heavens, namely: infinite transformation, immortality, ability to transform others for one's own use, utter annihilation of all living beings, the emergence of all evil, the complete annihilation of form and spirit, and the boundless Nine Heavens.

Of course, the Divine Weapon Nine Heavens may have other characteristics that Ying Xun has not yet figured out.

However, with Jiuxiao in hand, his combat power did indeed increase dramatically.

With his current strength, even a great demon god would probably say upon seeing him: "This person is no less than me."

The Great Demon God, also known as Xiao Sanxiao's eldest son and the elder brother of "Big Boss" Xiao Aoshi, is arrogant and self-important about his unparalleled martial arts skills—the Four Great Chaos Techniques. He calls himself the "Great Demon God," looks down on all living beings, and disregards all martial artists in the world.

He once easily wiped out a group of traitors from the Hidden Sword School with the "Thunder Fist" of the Four Great Unique Techniques. His power was abundant on the night of the full moon, but during the day his power leaked out, and he transformed into an ordinary farmer named Zhang Wu.

On the day of the ruthless opening of the city, he was invited to go, but was ambushed and seriously injured by Lian Chengzhi. Because Lian Chengzhi was relentlessly pursuing him, he forcibly increased his power during the day, and was eventually killed by Lian Chengzhi.
