CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 349: HEAVEN-OPENING SWORD

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword moved across the sky, filled with intense killing intent, ancient Sword Qi surging. In just a fleeting moment, it locked onto its target.

With a clang.

The azure sword light was dazzlingly brilliant. As this Lifebound Flying Sword met the first ghost that charged forward, its force was so overwhelming that it split the Peak of Qi Cultivation ghost with a single slash.

The ghost creature instantly perished under the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.

Without pause, Lu Yuanshan continued his assault, controlling the Lifebound Flying Sword with undiminished power to press the advantage under his precise command.

Its speed and power made the surrounding ghost creatures flinch with dread.

Clang, clang, clang!

The Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword was unstoppable, slashing down the remaining ghost creatures one after another.

Seven ghost creatures couldn’t withstand more than three breaths under Lu Yuanshan’s assault.

This sight startled the opposing Demon Cultivators, their expressions changing dramatically, now fully aware of Lu Yuanshan’s strength.

That azure flying sword was exceptionally formidable, so much that it invoked fear, unsure of what kind of Immortal Treasure it was.

Seeing this situation, how could they dare to continue fighting? With a swipe of both hands over the storage bag, they immediately took out a cluster of poison, dispersing it like rain towards Lu Yuanshan.

Not really aiming to kill Lu Yuanshan with this, but merely to serve as a hindrance to buy time for their escape.

As the poison fell like rain, approaching, Lu Yuanshan’s expression remained calm. He controlled the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc to emit a protective light, which swiftly shielded him.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

The poison draped over the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc, emitting a series of corrosive sounds as mist spread, illustrating its strong corrosive effects.

This poison, called Bone-Eroding, could erode the Dao Body of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, threatening their life once it came into contact.

The accompanying corrosive force, even if successfully neutralized with an elixir later, would torment the cultivator for over a decade like a bone-eroding maggot, causing unbearable agony.

"Thief, stop!"

A crimson magical artifact descended from the heavens, precisely landing on the escaping Second-Layer Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, trapping him tightly.

Zhiwei controlled the Vermilion Bird Ring, capturing the Demon Cultivator.

The opponent, still in fright and attempting to resist further, couldn’t even deploy his Demonic Dao talisman before a sword light slashed down, cutting off his head.

Lu Yuanshan beheaded him with one slash.

The remaining Demon Cultivators, seeing this scene, faced a formidable enemy and didn’t choose to flee. Instead, after exchanging glances, they focused their attention on Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan, controlling their Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.

They had just witnessed a colleague being slain by such a powerful Lifebound Flying Sword.

If they could obtain its refining method and augment it with Demonic Dao techniques, it would surely become a formidable weapon, surpassing the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner in power.

With this thought, greed surged in their hearts, suppressing the urge to flee, contemplating slaying Zhiwei and Lu Yuanshan here to seize their belongings.

"Little sister! Do not show mercy, be cautious with everything!"

Seeing the Demon Cultivators join forces, forming a surrounding formation, Lu Yuanshan’s face tensed, not daring to be careless, immediately reminding Zhiwei.

"Mm!"

Zhiwei nodded heavily in response, and the Primordial Golden Bell flew out from her storage bag, hovering at her side as a Defensive Spiritual Artifact, protecting herself and Lu Yuanshan.

Their strength, enhanced by recent consumption of the Qi Combination Elixir, had changed drastically compared to before, growing not just a little.

Now, when they strike, there’s no mercy.

The two Taiyi Celestial Ruins Swords streaked across the sky, carving two azure trajectories in the void, appearing graceful yet murderous.

After merely a dozen exchanges, six Second-Layer Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators were slain, and the several Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banners were also destroyed by the flying swords, rendered useless on the ground.

"Nine Evils Ghost Yin!"

Among the Demon Cultivators, the leader, and the strongest known as Wei Zhongyan, gritted his teeth and actually took out a Nine Evils Ghost Yin Banner.

Unlike the Seven Evils Ghost Yin Banner, this Nine Evils Ghost Yin Banner was truly nurturing nine demons.

Moreover, each demon’s strength was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, not to be underestimated.

When the nine demons emerged, demonic energy surged, instantly chilling the ambient temperature, making it feel like a winter night, a bone-chilling coldness spreading, accompanied by a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

The nearby Demon Cultivator comrades, witnessing the Nine Evils Ghost Yin Banner’s emergence, also felt a surge of dread, quickly retreating in fear of being affected by the demons.

As the nine demons emerged, their ghastly eyes turned, aiming at the nearest Seven Evils ghost creatures, opening their bloodthirsty mouths and devouring them whole to supplement themselves.

They could grow stronger through devouring, let alone their fellow Demon Cultivator ghost creatures. If controlled incorrectly, even the manipulator might become their blood food.

The nine demons swept across the sky, baring teeth and claws, three of them charged roaring at the nearest Zhiwei after devouring the surrounding demonic creatures.

Zhiwei’s expression went cold, particularly resentful towards such demons, instantly recalling when the Cyan Mountain Sect was slaughtered by the Three Demon Venerables, filling her heart with fury.

"Heaven Opening!"

With a shout, Zhiwei poured her Magical Power into the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword.

She used the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, deploying for the first time the newly mastered Sword Technique ’Heaven Opening’, deploying it in combat.

This Sword Technique, recorded in the third layer of the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword Technique, was far more powerful than the first layer’s Chasing Wind and Moon and the second layer’s Heavenly Line.

Upon the Taiyi Celestial Ruins’ arrival, the sword opens heaven’s gate!

This Lifebound Flying Sword forged ahead, unstoppable. The surging Sword Qi startled the surrounding weaker ghost creatures into retreat.

The demon that charged at the front, with a First-Layer Foundation Establishment strength, had no time to evade the incoming Heaven-Opening Sword.

It opened its bloodthirsty mouth, spewing vast Demonic Qi, condensing into a skeleton ghost hand to forcibly meet the incoming slash.

Trying to block the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword’s attack this way underestimated its power.

The azure sword light whistled through, shattering the skeleton ghost hand’s defense, slashing directly towards the demon.

Given Zhiwei’s full-strength attack, dealing with a First-Layer Foundation Establishment demon, the outcome was apparent.

In just a blink, the demon was slain in the void amidst a wailing cry of agony, with demonic energy dispersing.

But it didn’t end there.

After slaying a Foundation Establishment Stage demon with one sword, Zhiwei adjusted the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword slightly in the air, continuing her assault.

Lu Yuanshan, at this point, was no weaker than Zhiwei, controlling the Myriad Phenomena Celestial Dragon Jade Bi Disc to unleash fierce attack power, slaying two more Foundation Establishment demons in quick succession.
