The Nine-Headed Demon King had such a Herculean build, it could bounce off the sword. After the countless golden pineapple flowers had dismissed the demon clouds, they rallied against it. They were bounced off before they could even get close. At the same time, a thunderous sound could be heard around the Nine-Headed Demon King.
The pressure formed by the intertwining relationship of the clenched fists and spiritual power was so powerful that it could treble the moon in the sky.
The person who drew the sword was Hui Ke. He was improving quietly each day. While he had only one arm, his sword was extremely sharp, as if it could slice through anything easily. The spiritual power he gathered at Ming Wang Temple was showcased.
He exhibited no fear or worry. With the sweep of the sword, the Nirvana state of mind arose.
The spiritual power within was incredible. The void shook uncontrollably.
How nimble he was with his sword but beyond imagination. With a slight twist, the flow was indescribable. The moonlight-like gleam of the blade behaved like a snake. It wrapped around the Nine-Headed Demon King’s arm and beamed brightly. It soon blinded the figure of the demon king.
The gleam of the blade behaved like a dragon in the sky. It lit up the whole of the void. The figure of the Nine-Headed Demon King kept expanding, as if it was a thunder deity. The thunderous roar went on and on, and one could hear the explosions continuously. He had unimaginable power; but with Hui Ke’s exorcism method, the battle was heated.
The item that swallowed the bone relic was the Qi instrument. From within, a blood ray shot out and circulated in the sky for a bit, until it divided itself to form multiple fine lines. The lines that landed on the cultivators and the commoners, like the spark for the gunpowder. That person all in a sudden exploded and turned into blood and attempted to attack Baoyue the Venerable. Mister Sea roared with anger. The intensity of the spiritual power which could be used to form Yiyuan Zhongshui had broken the barrier of Buddhist ray. It then turned into a big hand, intending to grab the Qi Instrument.
The Qi instrument exploded all in a sudden. The shattered instrument dispersed into the surrounding. As one of the bone relic almost fell into the blood, Mister Sea used the hand formed by the Yiyuan Zhongshui to grab it. He then kept it.
Mister Sea did not even glance at the Nine-Headed Demon King. He intended to keep the sea water and left immediately.
There was an odd smile hanging on the handsome face of Baoyue the Venerable. He used his spirit to lock down on Mister Sea and formed the hallucination of the Boundless Universe. One could not simply escape from the hallucination. At the same time, circles and circles of pure white rays appeared behind his smooth head. From one of them borne purple gas, which was blended in with the blood. The blood retreated once the purple gas passed by. It also turned into multiple equally-sized little blood figures. The figures turned to attack the cultivators and commoners, causing a few screams. At that moment, Huanzhen Daoren and Baishi Daoren had to act. The Qi of Xuan Qing formed into multiple small arrows that were aimed at the little blood figures. At the same time, Baishi Daoren took out a scroll of painting, which flew towards the field. The painting had a great gravity pull, which sucked away the little blood figures. However, it was rather late as the little blood figures had successfully invaded some of the cultivators and commoners.
Baoyue the Venerable did not pay much attention to the changes that occurred to the blood. The two strings formed by the purple gas flew towards the feet of Mister Sea.
Shen Lian’s attention remained on Hong Zhen, who was attacked by the little figures. He made use of his King Kong Strength to defeat them. He retreated till he almost stepped out of Jing Guang Temple.
A sword aura all in a sudden appeared from nowhere and it was directed at Hong Zhen. Hong Zhen’s expression changed. The sword aura was quick, but it did not kill him. It wrapped around him instead, and subsequently a little blood figure was pulled out from his body.
The blood figure did not seem to be afraid of the sword aura. It shivered a little, then intended to escape as a blood ray. Baoyue the Venerable let out a low roar, and he formed a spell in his palm.
The blood ray was then turned into golden ray. It was frozen in time, and a golden bone relic flew out from the blood figure and landed on Baoyue the Venerable’s Moonlight Treasure Wheel.
It had an immediate effect. Baoyue the Venerable was covered in Buddhist ray. As Mister Sea realized that there was a bone relic with him, he hesitated and tried to use his spirit to detect the bone relic that was stolen just now. The moment his spirit reached it, the bone relic shattered.
Mister Sea said coldly,
What a great Lidai Taojiang, it even deceived me.
Lidai Taojiang was an extremely high level hallucination technique as it could create a realistic illusion of everything.
Baoyue the Venerable replied,
I don’t know any celestial techniques, and the one who deceived you was not me either.
He knew the origin of the blood ray. Given the mortal enemy of the blood ray was combating it, Baoyue the Venerable could then focus on the combat with Mister Sea. Nothing was as important as to expiate Mister Sea. As long as he could keep him, it would be a great advantage to Foxin sect. They could even get a successor for Jing Guang Temple.
Mister Sea snorted and said nothing else. It was unfortunate that he had stepped into this mess, and the old cunning man did not seem to want to let him go. If he left now, it would not just end there. From the sea behind, countless demon soldiers appeared and surrounded Jing Guang Temple.
The waves were roaring underneath – even with the mysterious purple gas, it could not break the barrier of the waves even a little. Yiyuan Zhongshui was extremely powerful. Once Mister Sea reached the state where he could escape from the Unbreakable Universe, one drop could form the sea, and in reverse, where he could turn a sea into a drop. Till then, nobody on earth could have stopped him.
The two spiritual power clashed. Even if it was silent, it was laid with danger. As Mister Sea stared coldly, more and more demon soldiers rushed out with the intention to kill everyone in Jing Guang Temple. Even if they could not succeed in that, they could distract the spirit of Baoyue.
He did not intend to spare anyone, and it did not matter to him if human died. Baoyue had been involved in a fight with him multiple times, and he totally understood how he though. He knew that Baoyue had the iron will to make him stay, and hence he did not intend to consider for anything else.
The demon soldiers were all unconscious beings formed by Mister Sea. Some of them have spiritual power as comparable to cultivators who had reached Ruhua. Even Huanzhen Daoren and the like found the endless demon soldiers difficult.
If not he was under the observation of everybody, Huanzhen Daoren had the intention to just leave. Even if he killed all the demon soldiers, he would not be recognized or rewarded for it.
Regardless of Baoyue’s intention, it seemed that he had played a trick on all of them.
On the other side, as the blood ray delayed for a second, the sword ray spotted the opportunity to wrap over it and to bring it outside of Jing Guang Temple.
Shen Lian looked at the direction of which the sword ray was heading towards, he lifted himself and said that,
Qingyi, I have something important and I should head off now.

He stepped out and formed into a ray and followed the sword ray closely. He was happy to know that Chen Jianmei was still alive. It was because when he heard the weird noise within the Qi instrument, Shen Lian knew that he could trap it, but as he heard the voice of Chen Jianmei, he then decided to let it out
