Trading the heavens starting from immortality

44. The Tragic Skink and the Threat of the Demon General

"Ha! What arrogance! Everyone says you, Ying Tianqing, are a once-in-a-millennium genius in the demonic path, but my favorite thing to do is to stifle demonic geniuses! Today, let's see what you're capable of!"

Shi Longzi said coldly, and with a flick of his index finger, a sword aura flew out from his fingertip. It swelled in the wind and transformed into a sharp golden sword aura as wide as a door panel and as thick as tens of feet, heading towards the Demon Commander.

This is the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi. Once successfully cultivated, one can use the sword qi to protect oneself and roam freely between heaven and earth.

With a casual flick, sword energy bursts forth, its power surpassing any spiritual weapon flying sword, and even exceeding some treasure-level flying swords!

Chi!

The sound of sword energy tearing through the air rang out as it headed towards the Demon Commander.

"A mere trick! Innate White Bone Divine Power!"

Seeing the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi shooting towards him, Ying Tianqing's expression remained unchanged.

The large hand reached directly at the sword energy, and the rolling white qi in the hand, like the flow of white bone qi, enveloped and captured the sword energy.

Even the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi found it difficult to break free for a time.

"The Unfettered and Instantaneous Killing Technique!"

Seeing that the Demon General's aura had bound his own sword energy, Shi Longzi was not worried but happy, and uttered eight words of truth.

Suddenly, the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi trembled, producing a "humming" sound, as if it resonated with heaven and earth. Under the influence of the resonance of the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi, the air currents of heaven and earth fluctuated wildly, and even the earth shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

At the same time, dozens of tornado columns appeared in the void, whipping up hundreds or thousands of tons of yellow sand near the dunes. The scene was truly like the end of the world.

At the moment of the most intense resonance, the sword energy enveloped by the innate white bone energy suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the Demon Commander's head, slashing towards his head.

Once struck by the sword energy, no matter how powerful the demon general is, he will die instantly.

Just then, a fist-sized white bone relic slowly rose from the top of the Demon Commander's head, blocking the path of the approaching sword energy. Although the Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Energy was incomparably sharp, it was completely absorbed by this innate white bone relic in an instant after it came into contact with it!

"Congenital white bone relic!"

Upon seeing this, Shilongzi was greatly surprised.

The fact that he was able to condense the innate white bone relic shows that this demon general has cultivated the supreme divine power of the innate demon sect to a near-perfect level. Such talent is simply terrifying!

Both he and the Demon General were at the third level of the Divine Power Realm, and their magical power was not much different.

He thought that by mastering the "Instant Kill Technique," he could kill the Demon General in one blow, but little did he know that the other party had already cultivated a supreme divine power to near perfection and had swallowed his sword energy.

Clearly, this demon general was beyond his ability to deal with, and upon realizing this, Shi Longzi couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.

"Not bad! Shi Longzi, I didn't expect you to have successfully cultivated the supreme divine power of the Shun Killing Technique. It's a pity your sword energy can only reach eight times the speed of sound, which is insufficient to harm me. If your magical power were twice as strong, reaching eighteen times the speed of sound, I might still be somewhat wary. If you could reach the three thousand times the speed of sound that your former sect leader, Feng Baiyu, possessed, I would have turned around and left immediately... Unfortunately, this is all you've reached. Then pay the price for your words and actions!"

Ying Tianqing said calmly, as if everything was under his control.

"Walk!"

Upon hearing the "Demon Commander's" murderous words, Shi Longzi's expression changed slightly. He enveloped himself in pale golden magic power, and his entire body transformed into a golden rainbow that flew dozens of miles away in an instant, attempting to escape by sword escape.

"Trying to escape?"

Ying Tianqing smiled coldly, and the innate white bone relic above his head rose into the air at the same time, transforming into a white bone demon god. In a few flashes, it approached the golden sword and shield and tore the sword light apart.

"Aaaaaah!"

A mournful wail came from within the golden sword and shield, and the stone dragon's body suddenly split in two, with its upper body disappearing with a sudden acceleration.

The lower half of his body, including his two arms, was chewed up and swallowed whole by the white bone demon.

Upon seeing this scene, Ying Tianqing shook his head, seemingly used to it. Then he uttered the "Zha" mantra and absorbed the white bone relic into his mind.

"This skink was really unlucky to have run into Ying Tianqing! But Ying Tianqing is truly ruthless!"

Fang Han witnessed the entire magical battle between Shi Longzi and "Demon General" Ying Tianqing.

Clearly, this skink is no match for the Demon Commander.

Whether it was the "Great Freedom Profound Gold Sword Qi," one of the eight great supernatural powers of the Feathered Ascension Sect, or the supreme supernatural power "Shun Killing Technique" that evolved from it, or the innate white bone supernatural power and relics displayed by the Demon Commander, all of them dazzled Fang Han.

Such supernatural powers and abilities are beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals.

Then what about the Three Thousand Great Daos that suppress countless supreme divine powers?

What kind of mysteries and wonders will unfold?

Fang Han was very much looking forward to it.

"Alright, kid, with me here, Qingxue will be fine. You can release the signal fire now."

Looking at Fang Han, Ying Tianqing said with a gentle expression.

His eyes were filled with deep affection as he looked at the giant cocoon of lightning. As if remembering something, he continued speaking to Han:

"Seeing that the Seven Fiends Gourd in your hand doesn't even have a sword formation, since you have rendered meritorious service in protecting Qingxue, I will bestow upon you seven flying swords. I hope you will not disgrace Qingxue in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, seven flying swords of different colors appeared beside him and slowly floated towards Fang Han.

Looking at the seven flying swords before him, Fang Han did not take them, but instead said neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Fang Han, thank you for your kindness, Senior Demon Commander. However, I will not accept your flying sword. Protecting Sister Qingxue is my duty. As a disciple of Purple Lightning Peak, I will naturally not bring shame to Sister Qingxue, so there is no need for you to trouble yourself, Senior Demon Commander."

The saying goes, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be grateful."

If I take the Demon General's magical artifact, how will I be able to harm him in the future?

Moreover, Fang Qingxue was extremely proud and intended to sever ties with that demon general.

Fang Han naturally wouldn't make the wise move of taking the Demon General's Spirit Sword, and his tone also carried a faint sense of detachment.

It has to be said that this Demon Commander is quite interesting. Now that the war between immortals and demons has begun, in order to please Fang Qingxue, he came to the territory of the Feathered Ascension Sect alone and even tried to reward an outer disciple of the Feathered Ascension Sect. In Fang Han's opinion, this behavior is really a bit wise.

Of course, on the other hand, if I were the Demon Commander, I might have gone even further than him.

"Um?"

Seeing that this disciple of the Feathered Ascension Sect dared to refuse his kind offer,

The Demon General's expression was somewhat uncertain, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

The other person kept calling Fang Qingxue "Sister Qingxue" and seemed to be very close to her, which made him quite unhappy.

"Excellent! Fang Han, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Just then, a heavenly voice emanated from the giant cocoon of lightning.

Immediately afterwards, the large cocoon slowly dissipated, transforming into lightning magic that merged into the body of a woman resembling the Moon Fairy or the Deep Sea Dragon Girl.

"Qingxue? You're alright? That's so great!"

Upon seeing Fang Qingxue emerge from the lightning cocoon, the Demon Commander was overjoyed, his gaze towards her filled with deep affection.

"Sister Qingxue."

Seeing that Fang Qingxue's complexion was rosy and her spirits were good, Fang Han finally felt relieved and slowly put away the Heavenly Wolf Magic Orb, intending to return the treasure to Fang Qingxue.

At this moment, looking at Fang Han, Fang Qingxue smiled for the first time ever, seemingly in a very good mood.

She didn't answer the Demon Commander, but continued speaking to Fang Han:

"We, the Fang family, need no charity. You did well, even if that person was the son of a dignified Innate Demon Emperor. Fang Han, during my healing, you were fearless against powerful enemies, displaying remarkable integrity. You possess the skill to protect me during my healing process, so this Seven Fiends Gourd will protect you and help you overcome this vulnerable stage of the Physical Body Realm!"

"Thank you, Sister Qingxue, for bestowing this treasure upon me!" Fang Han exclaimed excitedly.

Only then can this superior treasure truly belong to oneself.

With this magical artifact protecting him, his survival ability will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced!

"Clear the snow!"

Ying Tianqing spoke again,

Seeing the woman he had been pursuing so kindly to another man, a hint of displeasure flickered in Ying Tianqing's eyes, but vanished in an instant.

"Qingxue, why are you still like this? Even my father is somewhat wary of the Demon God, yet you dare to fight him. What if something happens to you..."

Ying Tianqing said again.

When Fang Qingxue attacked the demon god, he only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to make a move.

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingxue's smile faded, and she looked at Ying Tianqing calmly, saying:

"Ying Tianqing, you must know that Shi Longzi's instant-kill technique cannot break through my protective aura. Even if you hadn't come, I would have had a foolproof plan. Now that the war between immortals and demons has begun again, the two paths are like fire and water. I hope you will not get too entangled, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Long ago, the Water Gu Demon King besieged and slaughtered many cultivators in the Northern Ocean Ruins, which is how the two met and joined forces to fight him. To slay the Water Gu Demon King, they exchanged their learned Daoist techniques and ultimately killed him together, thus marking their first encounter. However, this Demon General seemed to have fallen in love with Fang Qingxue at first sight. Fang Qingxue, however, was devoted to the Dao and had no interest in romantic relationships. Even with the Demon General's persistent pursuit, she remained unmoved. Now, seeing him again relentlessly pursuing her, she felt even more annoyed, though she didn't show it.

"Qingxue, you know my personality. Immortals and demons make little difference to me. I only want to cultivate together with my beloved in this world and seek immortality and transcendence... That's enough! Since you are alright, I can leave in peace."

Looking at Fang Qingxue, the Demon General said affectionately.

He then looked at Fang Han, sizing him up, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Fang Han," Fang Han said.

"Fine, Fang Han, is that it? I'll remember you. No one in this world has ever dared to defy me, because those who have defied me are long dead. This time you actually dared to refuse my kindness. I'll let it slide this time for Qingxue's sake, but if you continue to be so ungrateful next time, you'd better pray that Qingxue is still by your side!"

Ying Tianqing suddenly spoke coldly, exuding an aura of domineering authority that brooked no dissent. He seemed like a supreme emperor who could control the lives and deaths of millions.

"oh."

"Hmph! That's all I have to say. I hope you'll take care of yourself!"

Seeing this, the son of the Demonic Emperor gave Fang Han a deep look, then surrounded by white bone energy, soared into the sky, and disappeared in a white light.

"Tch! This Demon General has quite the airs."

Fang Han was speechless.
