Chapter 1084 Another Annihilation
Three beams of white light returned to the light curtain and disappeared back into Chu Zhiyuan's sleeve.

Chu Zhiyuan's expression was solemn.

The other disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect also shook their heads, feeling regretful.

Li Hongzhao said, "They must have been watching from a distance, right? They saw through the deception."

Dong Muyu said, "These demons are very cunning."

She turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan: "Junior Brother Chu, can you handle them?"

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

“If we can’t handle this move, they’ll come back again,” Dong Muyu said. “They’ll keep coming and drive us crazy.”

“If things weren’t going well with the elders, they wouldn’t have needed to do this,” Chu Zhiyuan said. “If things were going well, they wouldn’t dare to attack, would they?... What exactly is the situation with the elders?”

Li Hongzhao hurriedly asked, "Is it a stalemate?"

Dong Muyu shook her head and said, "This is a big matter, and it's not our place to worry about it."

She buried herself in her training, oblivious to everything else, and paid little attention to such matters.

She never imagined that the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect would fail.

At worst, things won't go smoothly, and then we can just back out.

After all, he was a Ninth-Rank Venerable, possessing power that reached the heavens and the earth.

She immediately retorted, "Junior Sister Li, you're used to being an emperor, you're destined to worry. Why bother with these things? Just focus on your training, our Heavenly Sword Sect won't suffer any losses!"

“I was overthinking it,” Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and looked into the distance.

Then another group of dark figures swept in from a distance, clearly visible in the moonlight, and even larger than the previous ones.

Under the moonlight, these dark figures approached silently, like patches of dark clouds.

The disciples, who had not yet dispersed, channeled their energy once more, and the light screen, which had not yet faded, lit up again.

Their expressions were solemn.

The number was less than 100 last time, but this time it was nearly 200.

The aura created by the more than two hundred human-headed, bird-bodied demons made them nervous.

Li Hongzhao hurriedly said, "There are more than a hundred of them. Shouldn't the Heavenly Sword be deployed by now?"

Dong Muyu looked up at the void, which was the location of the Heavenly Sword.

She pursed her red lips: "The sect leader probably doesn't want to deploy the Heavenly Sword."

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Junior Brother Chu, do you have a solution?"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed: "How many of them are there exactly?"

"The number of Black Sparrow Demons is a mystery. You want to kill them all? ...You've got guts."

"Could there be more after killing this batch, an endless supply?"

"Why worry about so much? Kill one as many as you can. Every Black Sparrow Demon you kill can save many innocent people."

Chu Zhiyuan had nothing to say: "Then I will do my best."

Five streaks of light flew out from his left sleeve, and five streaks of light also flew out from his right sleeve.

The ten beams of light split into two groups and shot out beyond the light screen to meet the approaching black shadow.

These dark figures all had human heads and bird bodies, resembling eagles, and moved with incredible speed.

Compared to the previous two batches, this batch of shadowy figures was much larger.

Under the moonlight, their faces were filled with ferocity and smugness.

Ten beams of white light rushed toward them, but they continued forward without paying any attention, and didn't even dodge.

A white light shot past, followed by flashes of golden light, and their bodies were annihilated.

But this did not stop them from changing their shape, and they continued to move towards the light screen.

The number of white light annihilated was insignificant compared to their numbers.

Like a few grains of sand in a pile of gravel.

Upon reaching the light screen, they circled it, chanting curses and insults.

The cacophony of over two hundred Black Sparrow Demons was like a demonic din, disrupting the cultivation of the disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak.

The light screen swayed gently.

This delighted the black sparrow demons, who then began to curse and shout even more vehemently.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, and the ten throwing knives suddenly stopped in mid-air, forming a strange pattern.

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light shone forth.

Like a sun rising into the sky, its golden light shines brightly across the void.

It made the bright moon in the sky pale in comparison.

Wherever the golden light reached, screams rang out.

The shouts and curses turned into screams that filled the air.

Chu Zhiyuan's face was pale, but his eyes were gleaming.

The ten throwing knives were like his ten fingers, each representing a different power attribute. His lips moved silently, yet they were uttering the Great Demon-Subduing Incantation.

Then the Great Demon-Subduing Seal was unleashed.

The pattern formed by the ten flying knives continuously draws power from the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree.

The power of the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree flowed continuously from the void, transforming into the Great Demon-Subduing Seal through the flying knives, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters around it.

Amidst screams, the black sparrow demons retreated, trying to escape.

Under the golden light, their movements were incredibly slow and weak.

In just a few breaths, more than two hundred Black Sparrow Demons had vanished into the void. The golden light of the ten flying knives receded, transforming into ten white beams that shot towards Chu Zhiyuan's sleeve.

At this moment, the bright moon shines, and the night sky is clear and serene.

The previous noise and commotion seemed like an illusion.

Everyone looked at Chu Zhiyuan in surprise.

They had already given up hope.

After all, one or two throwing knives are like a cup of water poured on a bonfire in front of more than two hundred Black Sparrow Demons—the effect is negligible.

I never expected Chu Zhiyuan to have such a trick up his sleeve, such a brilliant technique.

The speed at which this Black Sparrow Demon was wiped out was comparable to that of the Heavenly Sword.

Dong Muyu patted Chu Zhiyuan's shoulder hard: "Impressive, Junior Brother Chu!"

Chu Zhiyuan swayed, his face pale, and said with a bitter smile, "Just lucky."

"Don't be modest, this isn't just luck!" Dong Muyu said dismissively, her eyes shining with excitement: "That's awesome!"

Li Hongzhao hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Dong, he is weak right now, please be careful."

Dong Muyu chuckled and said, "Feeling sorry for him? Alright, alright, Junior Brother Chu is a great hero now, so we need to take good care of him... Junior Sister Li, help him back to rest, I'll go get some spiritual medicine for him."

Li Hongzhao readily agreed: "Okay."

Amidst the admiring gazes of the crowd, Li Hongzhao helped Chu Zhiyuan walk back.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands in a salute to everyone: "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, I can't hold on any longer, I'll go back and rest first."

"Junior Brother Chu, rest well and be careful."

"Junior Brother Chu, I admire you!"

"Junior Brother Chu, thank you very much."

……

The crowd responded enthusiastically, offering their own unique perspectives.

Although Chu Zhiyuan had just arrived, they felt like they already knew each other very well.

They were both surprised and curious when Chu Zhiyuan struck with his sword for the first and second time.

This time, when the knife was used, they were amazed, but instead of feeling unfamiliar, they felt a sense of familiarity.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly returned to his small courtyard.

The two sat in the pavilion.

Chu Zhiyuan let out a long sigh, his face still pale.

Controlling ten swords simultaneously while also chanting the subduing mantra takes a huge toll on one's mental energy.

Without the help of two clones to replenish his energy, he was indeed somewhat exhausted, and it wasn't an act.

Li Hongzhao brewed a cup of tea and handed it to him: "This time you've truly made a name for yourself, so you absolutely cannot come down the mountain so easily."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, took the tea, and sipped it lightly.

He understood what Li Hongzhao meant.

He was about to become a thorn in the side of the Black Sparrow Demon and other evil spirits.

They will definitely try every means to destroy themselves and prevent themselves from growing.

However, having mastered the Earth Origin Technique, he can leave immediately if he senses anything amiss.

Li Hongzhao asked curiously, "Was that the Demon-Subduing Blade you were using just now?"

"Ah."

"It wasn't this powerful before."

“We couldn’t have been pushed to this point before… If another batch of these Black Sparrow Demons were to come now, I would be powerless to stop them.”

Dong Muyu knocked on the door from the outside, and Li Hongzhao stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate.

Dong Muyu placed a small jade bottle on the stone table in the pavilion: "This is the Spirit Essence Pill, used to replenish the spirit."

Chu Zhiyuan took it, opened the bottle, and poured out a few white pills, each only the size of a soybean.

"One pill is enough, but the medicine is extremely potent. You need to go to the Hall of Merit to exchange for it; it costs one hundred merits."

Chu Zhiyuan swallowed one, which immediately transformed into a cool aura that circulated around his body before finally entering the void of his mind.

His spirits lifted, and he laughed, "Senior Sister Dong, how can I return the merits to you?"

Dong Muyu waved her hand dismissively: "What's there to return? This is a reward from the sect leader, no need to exchange it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Dong Muyu exclaimed, "I never expected you could actually wipe out more than two hundred Black Sparrow Demons."

“There aren’t more than two hundred; most of them are clones,” Chu Zhiyuan said. “There should only be about eighty Black Sparrow Demons.”

"That's incredibly powerful!" Dong Muyu exclaimed. "We were all at a loss, and we thought we were going to have to force the sect leader to use the Heavenly Sword."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Are they trying to force the sect leader to draw the Heavenly Sword?"

"That's what the sect leader said."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Does the Sect Leader need to gather strength before unleashing his Heavenly Sword?"

"Yes, you have the power to strike twice a day, but you can only use it again the next day."

"...Are they going to attack our Heavenly Sword Peak?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

He sensed an ominous feeling, wondering why the Heavenly Sword hadn't been drawn so easily.

Why did they desperately draw out the Heavenly Sword again?

This is clearly preparation for attacking Tianjian Peak.
