Chapter 247: 147. Qinglong Association (15)
Six great experts had unleashed their strongest techniques to besiege Maiden Hong, creating a scene of earth-shattering momentum that caused the area for several miles around to tremble incessantly. This terrifying spectacle made the disciples of Ziqing Holy Sect and Leiyin Temple below retreat backwards, their faces filled with deep emotion.
"Master has taken back the Demon Subduing Staff, Taoist Priest no longer needs to use his Immortal Dusting Brush."
Monk Buzheng, seeing the two blood-colored swords wielded by Master Yuan Kong and Moxuzi, knew his master's sword had always been kept by his senior, Monk Buyu, and guessed his senior must know the inside story, so he hastily asked in a low voice.
"Senior brother, what's the story with the longswords in Master's and the Taoist Priest's hands?"
Monk Buyu did not turn his head, his gaze still fixed on the battle in the sky. After all, such a high-level battle was not often witnessed. Although he did not turn around, he still softly responded to his junior brother's question.
"The origins of the Blood Demon, the Master must have told you when he came, right?"
Monk Buzheng thought for a moment before nodding, "Master said, at the end of the Wuzong era, there was great chaos under the heavens, various forces constantly warring. Zhaoyang, located between Yong and Xu States, was caught in continuous warfare, resulting in a massive loss of life, which caused resentful spirits to soar to the heavens. The Blood Demon stemmed from that era, feasting on the martial artists' blood Qi. Within just a few years, it reached the third-ranked Karmic Position. At that time, the martial artists from both Yong and Xu would pale at the mention of Zhaoyang, fearing to pass through it!"
"Did the Master tell you how the Blood Demon was later slain?"
"He did. He said that after the Blood Demon had wreaked havoc on all the martial artists in the neighboring counties and seeing no one dared to approach Zhaoyang, it used its thousand-year-old Blood Tree Heart as bait to lure more martial artists there. However, unexpectedly, it drew Mo Yunzi, the foremost Artifact Refiner of the Heavenly Works Workshop of the Great Yu Dynasty!"
"Hmm, and then?"
Monk Buyu nodded quietly and motioned for his junior brother to continue.
"Mo Yunzi was no ordinary man. Upon arrival, the Blood Demon had nowhere to hide. It is rumored that in less than three moves, Mo Yunzi had slain the demon, and even refined the Blood Tree Heart into three Spirit Swords, namely Xue Zhao, Xue Yang, and Blood Shadow..."
As he said this, Monk Buzheng's expressions stalled, then he looked up at the longswords in the hands of Master Yuan Kong and Moxuzi, immediately realizing the significance.
At this moment, a glint of realization flashed in Monk Buyu's eyes, as he spoke, "The sword in Master's hand is the Blood Zhun Sword, and the one in Taoist Priest Moxuzi's hand is the Xueyan Sword!"
Having already guessed this, Monk Buzheng, upon hearing his senior brother's words and looking at the two longswords, suddenly his face was filled with astonishment, saying, "Senior brother, if I remember correctly, both these swords are listed on the Spirit Weapon List, Blood Zhun Sword ranking 19th and Xueyan Sword ranking 20th, right?"
Monk Buyu nodded gravely, his voice deep, "Exactly!"
Looking at the situation in the sky, Monk Buzheng's brow furrowed tightly, and then, with a flash of inspiration, he finally exclaimed, "To deal with the Blood Demon, these two swords are necessary?"
Monk Buyu was about to answer his junior's question when suddenly, a powerful surge of crimson tide rushed towards them, forcing him to hastily pull his junior and others to retreat frantically backwards.
At the same time, an extremely sinister voice answered Monk Buzheng's question.
"Blood Zhun Sword, Xueyan Sword, you stinking Taoist and old baldy, trying so hard to kill me..."
The speaker was none other than Maiden Hong, positioned directly above the sea of blood.
The six great experts had now surrounded her completely, leaving no escape.
A huge sun hung high in the sky above her head, continuously emitting vast Righteous Qi that suppressed the restless sea of blood around her body—it was Lian Ningxue's Clear Sky Sun Chart.
Zhang Yuning's Demon-Slaying Celestial Sword, like a rainbow piercing the sun, its five hundred zhang long Sword Qi continuously purifying Maiden Hong's demonic power, becoming even more dazzling and sharp, positioned right in front of the sea of blood directly opposite Maiden Hong.
Master Fanyin stood behind Maiden Hong, chanting Cursed Sounds while coordinating with the divine aura from the porcelain bottle in his left hand, nearly surrounding her from all directions with no gaps; at the same time, the Demonic Qi of thunder from his right hand relentlessly bombarded her.
Beneath Maiden Hong, the sea of blood was dominated by a verdant jade Buddha under which Master Yuan Fa stood, wielding his Zen Staff in conjunction with the strong Dharma light from the jade Buddha, continuously suppressing the bloodied hands that repeatedly tried to rise from below to aid Maiden Hong.
On both sides, Moxuzi and Master Yuan Kong with three blossoms above their heads and wielding blood swords, had already brought the sword lights to her face.
Four suppressing, two main attackers, along with the Blood Zhun Sword and Xueyan Sword that could restrain her own demonic power, the current situation was unmistakably a deathtrap for her...
Seeing the slightly smug expressions on the faces of the six, Maiden Hong let out a cold laugh internally.
Obviously, this scene had been long planned by the six, otherwise, belonging to six great forces, they would not have shown such tacit cooperation.
"This Blood Demon originated from a locust tree that became a demon. Its true body has rooted itself in Zhaoyang, and its complex mesh of roots has long spread over the Sanling Region. Completely annihilating it poses an immense challenge.
However, the harmony between Yin and Yang, generating and restraining each other, demons sustained by resentful spirits, yet accumulating the essence of heaven and earth, belong to the category of spiritual beings. Though mighty in its true body, impervious to almost all harm, it still is not without weaknesses."
Her most significant vulnerability is its own heart. Years ago, Master Mo Yunzi refined the three Spirit Swords from it, fearing that one day it might use the blood and grievances of living beings to regenerate its heart, making it incurable by then!
The swords in the hands of Master and Taoist Priest Mo are made from its heart, and now in its juvenile state, it could not even summon its true body, only able to consolidate demonic Qi into a sea of blood and confront the enemy. With six great experts jointly attacking and the addition of the Blood Zhun Sword and Xueyan Sword, this Blood Demon... is doomed..."
What do you think?
