Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 204 The Horned Demon Immortal's Sneak Attack, Two-Headed, Four-Armed Dharma Body
"It's so hot inside."

Within seconds, the two sixth-tier flying swords showed signs of melting.

"There must be some kind of special flame inside."

Su Yu became interested and quickly moved to one of the blazing flames. He reached out and grabbed, and the chaotic energy of heaven and earth quickly condensed into a large grabbing hand that swept towards him.

"boom!"

The giant hand trembled violently, and a stream of blazing flames crashed into it, coalescing into a ball. The surface flames dispersed, revealing a stream of blazing white flames inside. The temperature of the world rose sharply, and the giant hand visibly began to melt.

Blazing Spirit Fire: A spiritual object, the essence of fire gathered from a place where all fires converge.

Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he immediately moved closer. The temperature soared, but he had just received the protection of the eighth-tier accessory, Flame, and with his powerful physique and the elemental resistance of his immortal bones, he managed to endure the terrifying heat.

He grabbed the Blazing Spirit Fire and activated the Refining Treasure Technique of the Lesser Heavenly Cloud Restriction.

After a period of refining, the Blazing Spirit Fire remained completely still.

"Damn it, my level isn't high enough."

Su Yu released his grip and stepped back, immediately opening the panel and focusing his gaze on the Lesser Heavenly Cloud Restriction Technique. This technique was only at level one at the moment, and upgrading to the next level would require 2500 million cultivation points and 150 points of Dao cultivation. After the reduction of his innate root bone, it would only require 1875 million cultivation points and 135 points of Dao cultivation.

"promote!"

With a thought, he poured his cultivation points and Dao cultivation into the experience pool, and a glint appeared in his eyes, which quickly transformed into countless tiny tadpole-shaped runes that flowed around him.

A few minutes later, the Lesser Heavenly Cloud Restriction Technique was upgraded to the second level.

Su Yu glanced at the cultivation points and Dao cultivation required to upgrade to level three, and softly said:
"continue!"

A quarter of an hour later, the tadpole-shaped runes in his eyes slowly faded away, and the Lesser Heavenly Cloud Restriction Technique was upgraded to the third level.

"Keep going!"

It only takes 600 million cultivation points and 1800 points of Dao cultivation to upgrade this spell to the fourth level. The next level, the highest level, is only 37.5 billion cultivation points and 18000 points of Dao cultivation away.

I have enough cultivation points, but not enough spiritual power; I only have 29 points left.

However, it's not a big problem; the four-layered Lesser Heavenly Cloud Restriction Technique is sufficient.

Flying back to the Blazing Spirit Fire, I intercepted it with a Primordial Qi Capture Technique. Before the capture hand could melt, I leaped forward, pressed it down, and quickly activated my secret technique. Countless clear light tadpole runes flew out and seeped into the Blazing Spirit Fire, which resembled a struggling dragon.

A minute later, the blazing spirit fire gradually disappeared until it was completely enveloped by a layer of clear light formed by runes, shrinking to the thickness of a finger and the length of a foot, lying obediently in the palm of the hand.

"Good stuff, this thing can be used to refine high-level fire-type magic weapons."

Su Yu grinned, put the items away, and quickly flew towards another blazing spirit fire not far away.

There are a great many of these things. They are everywhere, forming towering pillars of fire. There are probably hundreds of them in total. If we collect them all, we can definitely refine an eighth-order magic weapon. If we can find an even more powerful and advanced fire-type treasure as the core, we might even be able to refine a ninth-order magic weapon.

"receive."

"I'll take it again."

Su Yu circled the Heavenly Fire Pillar, collecting the streaks one by one, enjoying himself immensely as he ascended around it. In no time, he had collected more than forty streaks.

However, he did not realize that this newly appeared pillar of fire had also attracted the attention of others.

A horned demon immortal also arrived in this area and saw the towering pillar of fire from afar. He immediately spotted the figure collecting the blazing spiritual fire.

"Humanity?"

Especially since that figure had not yet established his Dao foundation, he reached out and stroked the jade-like single horn on his head, grinned and revealed a cruel smile, and then disappeared in a flash.

Su Yu, of course, did not notice the figure that suddenly appeared and disappeared dozens of kilometers away, and was still diligently collecting the Blazing Flame Spirit Fire.

Unbeknownst to him, he had already circled the Heavenly Torch and arrived near a spatial rift more than thirty meters long and two meters wide. As usual, he gathered his innate Qi to capture the Blazing Spirit Fire with his Great Hand and skillfully used the Lesser Heavenly Cloud Restriction Technique to refine it.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something and turned his gaze to see an extremely sharp sword light suddenly slashing out from the spatial rift.

They combined their swords, preparing for a sneak attack, just as he was refining the Blazing Spirit Fire.

With a combination of factors, Su Yu had no way to dodge for the time being. He could only watch helplessly as the fierce sword light flashed and then entered a state of flowing light that was invisible to the naked eye. Then, his protective aura shook violently, and his defensive power suddenly weakened.

"Human, die!"

"Horned Demon, Loose Immortal!"

Su Yu snorted coldly as she refined the blazing spiritual fire in her hand, then reached out and grabbed the Azure Gang Sword, swinging it down.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

A series of crisp sounds rang out, sparks flew everywhere, but he did not deflect the flying sword. Instead, he used his superior speed to suppress the Azure Gang Sword while maintaining a close and fierce attack.

Even with double damage reduction, the protective aura couldn't withstand the full-force attack of a rogue immortal swordsman. It was forcibly torn open in just five seconds, and a stream of light, barely visible to the naked eye, grazed the Azure Gang Sword from an extremely tricky angle, aiming straight for his throat.

Su Yu smiled coldly, and without making any move, the protective aura that had just been broken rose up again.

"what?"

The demonic swordsman behind the spatial rift was clearly surprised, and his attack paused for a moment.

In that split second, Su Yu seized the opportunity and spat out the Purple Thunder Sword that had been hidden all along.

"Divine Power of Thunder!" Attack power and attack speed increased by 100%, and the speed of the flying sword increased dramatically, accurately hitting the flying sword that flashed past his throat in an instant.

"clang!"

Even with an additional 100% attack power, it still couldn't match the combined strength and speed of a rogue immortal wielding two high-level flying swords. However, the impact of the sword intent caused his soul to suffocate.

That brief pause was enough for Su Yu to create space. With a thought, a beam of azure light flew out from the Baihui point on his head, quickly transforming into a cloud of azure light that spread out to form a protective canopy.

When attacked at close range, one can raise a protective aura to defend, but cannot use defensive magic items.

Because the protective aura rises and bounces off the body, even close-range attacks can be deflected.

But defensive magic treasures are different. Just like the Azure Cloud Canopy rising and casting down its precious light, it will also cover the flying swords of enemies attacking at close range.

Therefore, sword cultivators are best suited for sneak attacks. When they suddenly launch a close-range attack, the only defense they can rely on is their protective aura. Even the best defensive magic treasures will be useless at this time.

If the attack is fast and fierce enough, the enemy won't even have time to raise their protective shield.

After all, it takes only a moment to erect a protective aura; if the attack is fast and fierce enough, a kill can be achieved in an instant.

"Auspicious Clouds Protect You!"

Su Yu decisively activated the magic weapon's ultimate move to enhance her defense, then circled her with her twin swords for self-protection, and grabbed the Wind God Token to activate it:
"Certainly!"

The divine wind descended, freezing the demon hidden in the spatial rift. Then, it reached out and grasped a pre-formed innate water mine, blasting it out.

"Boom!"

The innate Gui water essence and Taiyin true water transformed into thunder and exploded, turning into a terrifying cold wave that instantly froze an area within two kilometers.

The combined power of the Taiyin True Water and the Xuanyin True Water, along with the binding effect of the Wind God's Decree, was so strong that even a Loose Immortal could not escape it. The two swords that had been fiercely attacking him suddenly materialized, splitting into two flying swords that stopped in mid-air.

Su Yu decisively reached out and grabbed, and the azure energy and purple lightning suddenly shone brightly, merging into a single sword light that surged into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

With a flick of his fingers, streaks of sword light shot into the void.

The next instant, the defensive light on the horned demon's body trembled violently, and two seconds later it was torn apart. Then, a stream of light, barely visible to the naked eye, flashed by, and its protective energy also trembled violently.

In just three seconds, the muscles on the horned demon's face twitched slightly, and there were signs that the restraints were about to break.

Su Yu decisively pointed a finger and activated the profound forbidden technique, Hundred-Eyed Divine Light. The illusory image of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Spider appeared above his head, and the hundred eyes opened, shooting out a hundred beams of divine light that struck the Horned Demon Immortal. Several beams of divine light ignored the protective energy and blasted into the Horned Demon Immortal, causing him to faint again.

"die!"

"Xuan Ting's Finger!"

"Primordial Chaos, Myriad Transformations, Divine Thunder".

"Reincarnation Sword Net!"

He decisively reached out and grabbed, and within three seconds, the three hundred sword energies that had been gathered materialized and converged in the center.

In that instant, Su Yu unleashed all the burst damage techniques she could muster, forcefully breaking through all of her opponent's defensive measures and overwhelming them.

"Boom!"

After the violent explosion, a burst of violent spiritual light shot into the sky, shattering the chaotic energy and revealing a horned demonic body over thirty meters tall with two heads and four arms.

Dao Foundation Dharma Body: 160 million Qi and Blood, 32 Mana, 12600 Physique, 15800 Strength, 5500 km/h Speed, 500 points of Qi and Blood Regeneration per second, 50 points of Mana Regeneration per second Dharma Body Characteristics: Superior Dharma Body, Rapid Spellcasting, Two Heads and Four Arms.

Superior Dharma Body: Universal Dharma Body characteristics, damage reduction +50%, negative status effects and duration -50%.

Rapid Casting: A universal trait of the Dharma Body, allowing for extremely fast spell casting with -50% mana cost.

Two heads and four arms: a unique characteristic that allows it to simultaneously perform two Taoist techniques and activate four magical treasures.

"Damn, he's still not dead?"

Su Yu watched speechlessly as this thing appeared, then roared to the sky, waving its four arms in rapid succession, unleashing a barrage of fire and lightning like a machine gun, its casting speed astonishing.

At the same time, another head on the back was chanting incantations, and the void within a radius of tens of kilometers darkened, with starlight appearing, clearly indicating that it was casting a powerful forbidden spell or supernatural power.

He wielded a sword in each arm and slashed down, creating two sword rainbows that stretched for thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.

With his other two arms, one held a jewel surrounded by flames and activated it, while the other held a thunder hammer surrounded by purple lightning, which he raised high. With a crackling sound, a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a human body struck down, spanning seven or eight kilometers.

However, after this Dharma body appeared, Su Yu began to retreat far away, but instead of running away, she flew a kite.

This thing is clearly a high-grade Dharma Body, unlike mid-grade and low-grade Dharma Bodies which are mostly Five Elements Dharma Bodies, only possessing extremely strong spellcasting abilities and being invincible in crushing weaker opponents.

This superior-grade Dharma Body is a true body, extremely powerful. Su Yu has already used most of her methods, so she definitely can't defeat it.

Let's avoid their sharp edge and catch our breath first.

At this moment, Su Yu was certain that this horned demonic rogue immortal was definitely a high-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, but his level was not high, and he should have been in Foundation Establishment for a long time.

If it's a seasoned, high-grade Dao Foundation cultivator, that burst of power could definitely kill you instantly.

Furthermore, this horned demon immortal is not primarily a swordsman; he is likely a secondary practitioner. His primary cultivation must be Taoist magic, which can be seen from his swordsmanship level.

He hasn't even grasped the concept of sword light differentiation; what kind of sword immortal is he?
