CHAPTER 322: CHAPTER 317: UNSTOPPABLE

The human cultivators continued to advance, yet they already saw the two swords wreaking havoc in a spree of slaughter.

Li Fan and Yuwen Jing were also moving forward, followed by numerous cultivators. Watching them, they pondered quietly, wondering which of the flying swords would be intercepted first.

They even doubted whether the flying swords that had penetrated the demon army’s center could retreat intact.

Within the demon army, the Golden Brilliance Sword emitted radiant sword qi, transforming into golden light. Its Golden Brilliance Sword Intent was extremely sharp. Seeing the flying swords rampage, a great demon at the peak of the Fifth Realm stepped forward toward the Golden Brilliance Sword, extending its massive golden flesh hand to grasp it. The flesh hand seemed to be molded from pure gold, enveloping the heavens and earth.

"Boom..." The Golden Brilliance Sword struck the flesh palm with a sharp whistling sound. Even the golden flesh palm bled, as the demon let out a painful cry yet still clamped down. However, the Golden Brilliance Sword seemed to have eyes, cutting through the flesh and flying out of the palm’s center. Boom... The body of a nearby demon exploded, a hole—a wound created by the sword—appearing in its chest.

"Intercept it." The surrounding demons were extremely furious, as they had already lost their spirit, being thrown into chaos by the two human cultivators’ swords before the battle had even fully begun.

Meanwhile, in another direction, Li Fan’s Li Hen Sword was similarly unleashing carnage. Its violet sword light, surrounded by gusts of wind and thunder, moved at an unsurpassable speed.

With a continuous "puff" sound, heads of demons burst open, even demons at the Fifth Realm could not withstand a strike from the Li Hen Sword.

"The Golden Brilliance Sword is sharper, Yang Qingshan’s sword is faster." Distantly watching the battlefield where the two flying swords slaughtered, the human cultivators reflected thoughtfully. Both were top-tier sword cultivators, claiming demon heads from the distance as if fetching things from a bag.

"The slaughter continues." The crowd felt ripples in their hearts; these two monsters, Yuwen Jing was at the middle stage of the Condensed Core Realm, while Li Fan had only just entered Initial Condensation.

"Disperse!" A loud shout came from within the demons, and instantly, the formation of the demons disrupted by the onslaught scattered rapidly to the surroundings, leaving the Golden Brilliance Sword and the Li Hen Sword exposed in the open.

Fearsome demon energy surged towards the flying swords, waves of golden demon qi sweeping towards the two swords. The terrifying energy waves caused the flying swords to suddenly halt in mid-air, ringing sharply.

The crowd raised their eyes and saw a demon holding a magical treasure—a bronze mirror—in the direction of the flying swords.

"The flying swords have been controlled." The crowd felt a shiver go through them. That magical treasure was certainly not ordinary; the light emitted from the bronze mirror locked onto the flying swords, causing them to struggle in place.

"Buzz..."

The Golden Brilliance Sword erupted with brilliant golden radiance, as if clad in feathers.

"Boom..." A strong light burst forth, the Golden Brilliance Sword breaking through its shackles to continue its advance, piercing towards the demons. However, an armored demon stepped forward, raised a fist and struck at the constrained Golden Brilliance Sword. The fist morphed into a jiao dragon, roaring ferociously, colliding with the Golden Brilliance Sword and sending it retreating.

Yuwen Jing moved his thoughts at this moment, and the Golden Brilliance Sword started to return. But around it, numerous demon hands simultaneously clasped downward, attempting to pin it down.

The Golden Brilliance Sword spun rapidly, the light from its wings seeming to transform into golden divine feathers, cutting through the space. Those demon hands reaching to clasp it were sliced, bleeding profusely, unable to intercept the sword’s retreat.

The golden sword light cut through the void, flying towards Yuwen Jing. The human cultivators witnessing this scene were extremely impressed; indeed, Yuwen Jing, the proud son of West Flame Island, possessed astonishing combat prowess.

Even after taking so many demon heads, he could still retreat intact.

Their gaze shifted again to where the Li Hen Sword was. The sword was still ringing fiercely, as if still struggling, yet the Sword Intent in that space was growing stronger.

Li Fan’s mind was linked to the Li Hen Sword, and a rumbling echoed as sword aura rampaged on it. The bronze mirror that had locked onto the Li Hen Sword began to tremble, feeling an immense Sword Intent pressing upon it, as vast and grand as a great way.

The veins bulged on that demon’s body, its expression extremely grim. It seemingly heard the great dao sound resonating from the bronze mirror.

"Crack..." A crisp sound resonated, and cracks became visible on the mirror. The demon’s face turned pale; this bronze mirror was a top-level magical treasure of the Fifth Realm, possessing powerful control abilities, but at this moment cracks were appearing.

Moreover, the cracks were expanding.

"Boom!"

A sound of explosion rang out, a beam of light piercing through the void, and the bronze mirror shattered. Before the demon could lament the destruction of the bronze mirror, a beam of light pierced through its head.

The flying sword continued shuttling among the demons, relentless "puff" sounds echoing, with more demons meeting tragic deaths one after another.

The speed of the Li Hen Sword was simply too fast; gathering the demon army against it had ironically shackled them.

"This..."

The advancing human cultivators’ hearts quivered upon seeing this scene. Just a moment ago, they thought the Li Hen Sword was locked and unable to break free, only to then witness what unfolded before them.

The Li Hen Sword, unlike the Golden Brilliance Sword, did not return, but continued its slaughter.

"I lost again."

Yuwen Jing laughed aloud, "What are you all waiting for? Unleash your swords."

Behind him, the sword cultivators from the West Flame Island simultaneously controlled their flying swords in the air, each sword sweeping across the sky, charging towards the demons like a downpour of sword rain.

Sword cultivators, unparalleled in offense, earning the envy of many.

At this moment, the human cultivators also closed in on the demon army.

"Slay them."

"Kill, kill..." Ferocious battle cries echoed, the demon army simultaneously unleashing furious roars, innumerable demons charged towards the human cultivators.

Li Fan also plunged into the midst of demons, the Li Hen Sword still wreaking havoc, while he held ’Jian Yi’ in his hand.

A demon dashed forward, and the sword in Li Fan’s hand instantly slashed out like a bolt of lightning, cleaving the demon’s body in two, blood splattering.

"Kill that human," a demon roared, and numerous demons immediately charged towards Li Fan’s direction, since they couldn’t control the Li Hen Sword, they intended to deal with Li Fan himself.

"Fools."

Li Fan’s thought flickered, and the Li Hen Sword flew in, causing droves of attacking demons to fall, yet some still reached Li Fan.

One ferocious great demon, wielding a battle axe, slashed down with an immense force seemingly ready to cleave Li Fan in half.

Li Fan activated the Heavenly Essence Sword Formation, his qi and blood surging and roaring within, the strength of the Golden Body Realm of Martial Arts bursting forth, merging into the sword, slashing towards the battle axe, but the terrifying force sent Li Fan flying.

"Die!" the demon roared forward, one being a peak Fifth Realm demon with brutal strength, wielding a magical battle axe.

The axe’s light that covered the sky, with sword aura surging around Li Fan. He activated the sword array, charging upwards towards the battle axe, his forehead glowing brightly, intent on activating the Sword Seed.

But before he could act, a beam of moonlight shone down, landing on the demon’s body.

The moon hung high, the light of the Taiyin falling, creating what seemed like a phenomenon in the sky. Li Fan glanced back, seeing Lu Yuan behind him, carrying a moon on her back like a sea fairy, sacred and dignified. The beams of moonlight illuminated down, freezing even the demon’s battle axe and slowing the demon’s body, despite being a peak Fifth Realm demon, it was still affected.

Li Fan’s reaction was unbelievably quick, how could he miss such an opportunity?

His body transformed into a flash of lightning, seizing an opening, passing through and piercing the demon’s throat with one sword strike, killing it.

Li Fan carved out the demon’s body to extract the Demon Core, while also collecting the battle axe in its hand. These were cultivation resources and should be gathered if possible.

Although the West Emperor Palace promised rewards for those who performed outstandingly in this battle, whether they could fulfill it remained uncertain.

"Continue."

Li Fan said to Lu Yuan, the two had previously teamed up in the Secret Realm of Chi Xiao City, thus they were naturally well-coordinated. Under the illumination of Taiyin’s light, the demons were controlled, and Li Fan’s sword would immediately deliver the kill, the duo’s slaughter speed was extremely fast, large numbers of demons fell at their hands amidst the demon army.

"These two..." Some human cultivators couldn’t help but mentally praise seeing the duo.

In the distant direction, a Six Realm Great Demon stood above the demon city, staring at the battlefield and locking its gaze on where Li Fan was.

This human, must be eliminated.
