Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique VS Mercenary Tao

Your attack dealt massive damage to Special Reincarnator EX051, Ruofeng Lin (Moon Demon Avatar).

The target individual has died.

Your reputation with the Moon Demon has greatly decreased. Current: Hatred (66/100)

Bai Cangshu tapped the ground with his toes and floated into the air. His eyelids hung low, and his black-and-white hair seemed coated in gold from the intense infusion of Ki.

Four Times Kaio-ken had become a fairly controllable state for the current Bai Cangshu. It would neither cause his body to collapse in a short time nor send him into a berserk state due to his overly powerful attributes and Ki.

The explosive Ki and the terrifying magnetic force beneath the earth were both perfectly controlled by the realm of Martial Arts Mastery Lv10.

Bai Cangshu floated straight from outside the city toward its interior. The formation on the city walls immediately activated, golden light bursting from the four corners. In an instant, a second Golden Buddha appeared in the sky.

But before that Golden Buddha could attack, Bai Cangshu pointed a finger from afar.

Buzz!

A golden Ki Blast shot out like a laser, instantly detonating the magical artifact on the city wall. The massive explosion directly collapsed the earthen-and-wooden wall, destroying the formation as the Golden Buddha vanished.

Bai Cangshu left a trail of afterimages as he drifted along, already arriving before the enormous crater. Overwhelming demonic energy surged out from within.

Life of Silence Qiqi stood on the other side of the crater, the Battle Aura blade in her hand emanating a sharpness that even made Bai Cangshu feel a stinging pain.

He had initially thought it was some special weapon, but now it seemed more like an ability—a weapon condensed from an ability powerful enough to take form.

"Is that your backup plan, Ruofeng Lin? It’s not much…"

Bai Cangshu estimated that the potion sequence in Ruofeng Lin’s body was only around Sequence 4, a demigod, close to the Sage of the former B711 World.

But times had changed. Even a Transcendent of that level, even one from the Black Emperor sequence most skilled in distorting rules to fight, could almost be instantly crushed after Bai Cangshu activated Kaio-ken, thanks to the powerful immunity brought by Ki.

On that grotesque body, as though a female body and a male body had been forcibly fused together, half of Ruofeng Lin’s face still wore a gentle smile. He did not look at Bai Cangshu at all, only staring at Life of Silence.

"Qiqi, you finally came to kill me~"

"How wonderful."

Ruofeng Lin’s smile was warm, making Qiqi’s killing intent grow even denser. She simply could not understand why he had chosen betrayal with that expression, why he had chosen to kill everyone.

"Yes, Ruofeng Lin. Are you ready?"

She asked solemnly. Divine light gathered in her vacant eyes, and an indistinct illusory ripple began to emerge and spread.

Bai Cangshu sensed the power of that ripple and was not surprised. It would have been strange if someone like her had not come into contact with Heart Light Pulse. What disappointed him slightly was that even Life of Silence’s completion of Heart Light Pulse was inferior to that Mad King’s.

He looked at the smiling grotesque man and guessed that this was likely the final obstacle preventing Life of Silence from perfecting her Heart Light Pulse.

That was the true reason this girl had to kill him.

"I ask you again: why did you blast open the gates of my Yin Moon Dynasty?"

Hum!

As Seven Nights Demon Lord spoke for the second time, the demonic energy around them seemed to boil in an instant. In the blink of an eye, his presence expanded, and the demonic energy within the giant crater seemed to find a vessel, pouring into his body all at once.

Seven Nights Demon Lord did not resist, allowing the demonic energy to enter his body. His right hand hovered over the demon sword at his waist, whose guard resembled a ring.

Buzz!

The sword cry instantly tore apart Qiqi’s terrifying killing intent.

"Mercenary Tao, hold him off for three minutes—no, one minute!"

Life of Silence spoke in a low voice. Her eyes could no longer see anyone else. If she were made to fight Seven Nights Demon Lord now, she likely could not focus at all.

In her eyes, only the target bearing the Life of Silence Hunt Mark remained.

Ruofeng Lin could not run. He could not call for help.

She took a deep breath. Her killing intent instantly withdrew into her body, and her entire being froze like ice.

Emperor-Slaying Ghost-Crying Blade (False) (S+)!

She raised her hand, and countless blood lines appeared where she had cut, condensing into one blood-red Battle Aura blade after another.

This Super Heavenly Tier Battle Skill was not something a Secondary World could condense at all. It was likewise a counterfeit recorded by another existence in a Native World, a powerful ability possessing part of the original ability’s might, modified through an S-rank Singularity at the Goddess’s place.

Bai Cangshu felt that illusory ripple, and a clear notification appeared before his eyes.

Special Reincarnator EX051, you have been affected by incomplete Heart Light Pulse.

Your defense, vitality, and immunity are beginning to decrease.

On the other side, Seven Nights Demon Lord’s right hand fell upon the sword hilt. Terrifying sword intent emerged, but the next moment, he raised his head and saw rolling thunderclouds continuously sweeping toward him.

The scene of thunderclouds filling the sky had pressed down until it was nearly within reach.

Thunder rumbled explosively.

"Amitabha, you all…"

Buzz!

Pfft!

As the Buddha’s golden body transformed by Pudu Cihang clasped its hands in the air and Buddha light blazed brilliantly, Bai Cangshu pointed without even turning his head. At the same time, Qiqi seemed to flick her aura blade.

Blood lines spread across the golden body, while the golden Ki Blast directly pierced through the Buddha’s head.

Amid a thunderous explosion, Pudu Cihang plummeted from the sky.

Ruofeng Lin sighed at this moment, then extended a hand. The female body controlled by the Moon Demon also raised a hand.

Taking advantage of that instant, Qiqi slashed down with her sword. She appeared directly behind the Moon Demon and Ruofeng Lin. Blood lines had already appeared across both their bodies, and in the next moment, blood would burst forth as their bodies split apart.

Bai Cangshu no longer had the mind to watch the battle, because the strongest enemy here had begun to move.

Crack, boom!

The One Evening Sword had only left its sheath by half an inch, yet heaven and earth seemed to let out a mournful cry. Overwhelming demonic energy erupted from it and transformed into the sharpest sword aura.

Seven Nights Demon Lord’s heart also tightened. A fair, powerful hand seemed to emerge from the void and suddenly pressed down on the hilt of his One Evening Sword. His Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique was interrupted before it could fully unfold.

This was the first time such a thing had happened in his life!

Seven Nights Demon Lord raised his head and met the gaze of the man who had appeared before him out of thin air. A layer of terrifying energy, violent to the extreme, wrapped around the man’s body. If his own demonic energy was wicked to the utmost, then the energy covering the other man’s body was explosive purely because it was too active.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~

Golden Ki collided with purple demonic energy, producing a sound like burning.

"Seven Nights Demon Lord, how about we change locations?"

Without waiting for the other man to object, Bai Cangshu took a step forward. The ground cracked first, then the bluestone slabs instantly shattered like a spiderweb.

Boom!

Bai Cangshu practically held Seven Nights Demon Lord down as he shot into the sky. In an instant, they crossed several thousand meters, smashed through the wall behind the imperial palace, and crashed fiercely into the unfinished mausoleum.

Rumble!

Seven Nights Demon Lord’s protective demonic energy was deep and powerful. A collision of this level did not injure him; instead, it brought him back to his senses.

He first released the One Evening Sword, then directly struck Bai Cangshu’s chest with his palm.

Before the palm force arrived, demonic energy seeped into Bai Cangshu’s nose and lungs first. With a thought, Bai Cangshu activated Musō Tensei.

Pfft!

The rounded, distorted Three Parts Return to Origin Force was instantly blasted apart by the demonic energy. To Bai Cangshu’s surprise, the attack struck his chest directly.

Boom!

Bai Cangshu fell from the sky, trailing purple flames of energy as he crashed into the mountain range infested with demons and monsters. The miasma scattered in an instant.

Mountains shattered and forests collapsed.

Seven Nights Demon Lord charged in as a purple aurora. Looking at the man amid the massive hundreds-of-meters-wide gap in the mountain rocks, smoke billowing from his back, his gaze shifted slightly. He opened his right hand, and a sword light flashed as the One Evening Sword automatically returned to his hand.

Bai Cangshu watched the black marks on his arm gradually vanish. Instant regeneration had already healed his wounds.

You have come into contact with the item One Evening Sword (Golden Plot Item).

You have initiated the Demon Sword Recognition Process. Demonic Energy Infusion has begun.

You have suffered Demonic Energy Erosion (Strong). A check is being performed...

"Ha, what a move!"

Seven Nights looked at the man who raised his head with a grim smile. There was not much joy in his heart. He had long since fallen into the demonic path, but this fellow… gave him an odd feeling.

Bai Cangshu laughed soundlessly. He had not expected a Plot Character—no, by now, Bai Cangshu had long accepted that these so-called Plot Characters were actually real individuals.

Rather than saying that reincarnators like them had entered the worlds of novels, films, and anime, it was more accurate to say that observers had long circulated all kinds of information through their own methods among different worlds.

Perhaps the Infinite Dimensional Space had prepared this method long ago, allowing the reincarnators it intended to cultivate to gain an additional advantage.

Bai Cangshu had not expected Seven Nights Demon Lord to possess such quick wit even in battle. With his physical strength inferior to Bai Cangshu’s, he had voluntarily released the One Evening Sword, allowing Bai Cangshu to trigger its recognition "process" and suffer Demonic Energy Infusion.

Moreover, that Demonic Energy Erosion had disrupted his Musō Tensei, allowing him to be struck.

"Unfortunately, you still…"

Before Bai Cangshu could finish speaking, he saw Seven Nights Demon Lord assume a stance. He was merely startled for an instant before sensing a feeling as though heaven and earth had locked onto him.

The only moves that had given him this sensation before were those of Black King Luffy from the One Piece World and… Saitama from B711 World!

"Good. Very good!"

Like a villainous boss who spewed trash talk and would ultimately be counter-killed by the protagonist after wasting time with it, Bai Cangshu felt nothing but appreciation as Seven Nights Demon Lord put distance between them and directly unleashed his Killing Move.

Seven Nights Demon Lord’s face was calm. His body leaned forward slightly, his right hand loosely gripping the One Evening Sword while his left pressed against the sword sheath at his waist.

Overly dense demonic energy completely gathered within the One Evening Sword. The momentum of heaven and earth had already locked onto Bai Cangshu from the unseen depths. Even if he closed his eyes now, regardless of what escape technique the other man used or how he fled, he would be locked onto by this sword.

As the saying went… Heaven-Slaying… Sword Drawing Technique!

He held the sword without drawing it, the terrifying momentum bearing down entirely on Bai Cangshu’s body. Bai Cangshu’s eyes shone with excitement as he relaxed and stood where he was.

Terrifying weight pressed down on Bai Cangshu. He truly felt as though heaven and earth were crushing his body, making it nearly impossible for him to even move. The pressure was still growing stronger and stronger.

Bai Cangshu did not activate Musō Tensei again. On the contrary, he desperately wanted to experience the power of this sword directly.

At this moment, he had thrown Life of Silence’s request for him to hold Seven Nights Demon Lord back completely to the back of his mind, along with all his other objectives.

He wanted to know what this Demon Lord’s Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique truly felt like!

Bai Cangshu looked crazed. His hair surged wildly upward, and his Ki grew ever more intense.

Not only that, within the thunderclouds overhead, a beastlike presence seemed to be constantly surging, dragging vast amounts of thunderclouds downward in a mad rush.

From Seven Nights Demon Lord’s perspective, it was as though the thunderclouds in the sky were wildly descending to merge as one with that bizarre man.

He instinctively sensed danger. With a thought, the One Evening Sword, suppressed to the absolute limit, abruptly left its sheath.

Buzz!

The sword cry resounded through heaven and earth. The entire world suddenly darkened, as though all light had vanished in an instant and absolute darkness had descended.

Then a dazzling purple sword light rose from below.

Bai Cangshu’s eyes widened. That strand of sword light seemed to flash through his eyes, and in that instant, he felt an icy sword edge slice through his body.

The next moment, an even more terrifying demonic energy surged toward him. Bai Cangshu’s thoughts flashed as golden Ki roared like lightning.

Crackle, crackle!

He suddenly raised both hands, holding them apart in the air. At the instant countless golden currents lit up, another sword light seemed to slash down from heaven and earth.

Pfft!

Seven Nights Demon Lord gripped his sword with both hands, maintaining his downward-slashing stance, but shock remained in his eyes.

This guy… had seen through the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique?!

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique was not merely a single slash. In fact, if he wished, he could slash many times. But the sword strike that lit up in the instant when heaven and earth lost their light was merely the strike that broke through the opponent’s defenses.

The sword that subsequently drew upon the filthy demonic energy between heaven and earth was the true Killing Move—the true… Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!

Yet the other man had reacted in that instant.

Sword drawing techniques were already the fastest of Killing Moves, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique was a skill that stood nearly at the pinnacle of that path. This fellow…

He watched as the other man’s body split down the middle, dark purple demonic energy bursting from between the two halves. The smell of blood mixed with the rotten stench of demonic energy invading flesh.

The unease in his heart finally began to slowly fade.

Seven Nights Demon Lord lowered his eyelids. He had to return and kill the other one. That fellow seemed to be entangled with the Moon Demon through countless threads of karma.

Kill him, and with the knowledge the Moon Demon had absorbed from that reincarnator, the Yin Moon Dynasty would certainly advance even further.

He turned around, only to freeze in place the next instant.

Rrip!

A bolt of lightning fell, illuminating the change in Seven Nights Demon Lord’s expression.

"What exactly are you… Why can you endure demonic energy entering your body?"

Bai Cangshu’s body remained in a half-fallen posture before gradually standing upright again. He forcibly pressed the severed halves of his body together with both hands, a clear smile on his face.

"Who knows."
