Chapter 134 - 131: Boundless Seas of Swords

Chapter 134: Chapter 131: Boundless Seas of Swords"Brother Ye!" Seeing Ye Xuan being swallowed up by the heads on the Yama Ghost General’s body, Hua Hong and the other two couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, their faces turning somewhat pale. Could it be that Ye Xuan was going to meet his end at the hands of the Yama Ghost General? "Hmph, with the Ten Thousand Ghost Body of the Lord Ghost General, it only takes a few seconds to completely consume and drain a person. No matter how skillful this kid is, his death is certain." The black-robed figures all sneered coldly. The Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Skill was indeed the Yama Ghost General’s trump card technique. Though using it came with severe side effects, its power was immense. Within the Black Demon Sect, aside from the very few skills like the Blood Demon Body Sacrifice Skill, there were hardly any that could surpass the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Skill. Using it to kill a Seventh Grade Martial Master was overkill. If Ye Xuan didn’t die, that would be a miracle. However, just when the Yama Ghost General and his men were wearing vicious expressions, the densely packed biting heads suddenly violently trembled as if something was about to burst forth. "Uh? Suppress it for me!" Feeling the abnormal movements in his body, the smile on the Yama Ghost General’s face swiftly stiffened, followed by a loud shout, and the heads on his body began to move rapidly, converging toward one location as if to forcefully suppress something. Boom, boom, boom! The trembling reached its peak and suddenly burst open, heads shattering one after another, as shocking Sword Qi whizzed out from within the blood mist, ruthlessly hitting the surrounding rock walls. Like a goddess scattering flowers, they exploded, sending fragments flying. The Yama Ghost General’s giant-like body was pierced through and riddled with holes by the Sword Qi, looking like a hornet’s nest, heads after heads bursting, turning into puffs of blood mist. "Ptui!" Sword light flashed, and a figure covered in fresh blood, carrying several trails of Sword Qi, recklessly burst out from the blood mist! "What?" Seeing the blood-stained figure erupt with tremendous momentum, the remnants of the Black Demon Sect were also terribly shocked. This kid, having been devoured by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Skill, could still burst out? "How is this possible?" Attempting full suppression but failing to hold down Ye Xuan, the Yama Ghost General himself darkened in expression. However, when his gaze fell upon Ye Xuan, the gloom on his face turned into horror in a blink of an eye. At this moment, Ye Xuan’s aura was like a condensed sword, merging as one with the Spiritual Edge Sword. The chaotic streams of sword-shaped energy continuously radiated from his body. The current Ye Xuan seemed like a completely different person, his aura having substantially increased as if he had undergone a transformation. The power of the Spiritual Edge Sword was pushed to the extreme for a short duration, as if a layer of bluish flame was ignited on the blade. Such sharp fluctuations made the surrounding air subtly distort. "Why did his aura suddenly surge so much?" Not just the Yama Ghost General, even Hua Hong and the others were somewhat incredulous as they watched Ye Xuan. What method had he used? Had he also employed some secret technique to temporarily boost his combat strength? At the same time, they were deeply shocked. Just how far could Ye Xuan’s combat abilities reach? Under the terrifying assaults of the Yama Ghost General, Ye Xuan’s power continued to climb, repeatedly breaking through the Yama Ghost General’s killing moves. And as strength increased in one and lessened in the other, a shocking blood hole had been blasted in the chest of the Yama Ghost General. The stench of fresh blood was continuously gushing out, showing that the Yama Ghost General had suffered no small injury from the recent explosion. "Damn it!" A flicker of uncertainty passed through the eyes of the Yama Ghost General. He thought he had finished Ye Xuan off, but who knew what method Ye Xuan had used to break through his Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Skill, and it seemed like he hadn’t sustained much damage. Ye Xuan’s clothing was soaked with blood, and a solemn expression swiftly appeared in his eyes. He had almost been trapped by the Yama Ghost General’s Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Devouring Skill. If it weren’t for the breakthrough of the second move, Infinite Swords, from the Great Sword Scripture during the battle, he might have needed to rely on the demonic power of the Flood Dragon. However, now was not a good time to employ it. The last time, there was only the Vampire Demon General present, but here, there were too many prying eyes. Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to use it. But now, the crisis had passed, and it was the Yama Ghost General’s turn to worry. "Yama Ghost General, prepare to die!" With a fierce shout, Ye Xuan’s figure explosively rose, lifting his sword above his head and slashing fiercely through the air. Strands of sword-shaped energy quickly merged into this strike, magnifying the sword light as if all swords were converging into this one. Whoosh! The sword Qi spanned over ten meters long, descending like a bolt from the heavens, ferociously targeting the Yama Ghost General, moving at an incredible speed. Crack! Thunder-like sounds seemed to fill the air as the Sword Qi left sparkling trails, slicing the atmosphere into dazzling sparks. The sword strike was unbelievably fast, and with the Yama Ghost General’s current condition, there was no way to dodge. In just a blink of an eye, the Sword Qi had already landed on him. Puff! A line of defense collapsed and shattered in a straight line, blood spattering everywhere. After a stunning first strike, Ye Xuan’s second sword arrived in an instant, this sword seemed to be embodied within the wind, moving with the wind, drifting with the clouds, a sword that grasped the essence of the Great Sword Scripture and, simultaneously, aimed directly at the life of the Yama Ghost General. "You little beast, don’t get too cocky!" Seeing that Ye Xuan still sought to place him in mortal danger, the Yama Ghost General responded with rage turned to laughter, sending a palm strike backward, where a dense grey True Qi gathered in his hand into a Seal and smashed towards the sword light of Ye Xuan. Hisss... Upon contact, intense sparks erupted. Even with Ye Xuan exhibiting extraordinary combat power, the cornered Yama Ghost General could not be killed with a single strike, and the momentum of the sword was suddenly halted. "Crack for me!" However, just as the Yama Ghost General had let out a sigh of relief, Ye Xuan’s voice suddenly erupted in a fierce shout, and as his cry fell, an extremely violent Yang Gang fluctuation was injected from within Ye Xuan into the sword light. The azure sword light seemed to be stained with flames, rapidly turning crimson. In contrast, Ye Xuan’s complexion rapidly paled. Crack! Right after Ye Xuan’s words fell, a crack appeared on the grey Light Seal in front of the Yama Ghost General. The latter’s complexion changed dramatically, and suddenly, with a "boom," the grey Light Seal shattered into pieces. Splash! The sharp Sword Qi slashed the Yama Ghost General again. This time, after such a heavy blow, the Yama Ghost General was sent flying backward, crushing a large boulder behind him into pieces, fresh blood sprayed from his mouth like rain. "Lord Ghost General!" The complexions of several black-robed men changed drastically. With such a sword strike, the wounds must be severe. Could the Yama Ghost General still have the strength to fight back under such circumstances? One of the powerful Eight Demon Generals of the sacred Black Demon Sect was actually defeated by an Inner Hall Disciple of the Heavenly Martial Hall, an utterly incredulous and shocking tale. Even witnessing it with their own eyes left them in disbelief. "Cough, cough..." Coughing up several mouthfuls of black blood, the Yama Ghost General climbed up from the ground, but his body had returned to its normal size, covered in bloodstains, with frightful sword wounds on his chest and abdomen looking miserable. However, as he barely lifted his head, he found himself facing Ye Xuan’s eyes brimming with murderous intent, advancing step by step toward him. Each step seemed perfectly in tune with the rhythm of heaven and earth, the rhythm matching the killing intent emanating from his body, unstoppable as a deity slaying force. "What are you waiting for? Attack, tear him apart!" For the first time, panic surfaced in the Yama Ghost General’s eyes. The overwhelming murderous intent in Ye Xuan’s eyes was like a bucket of cold water poured directly over his head, sending a chilling shock to his core and making him feel the threat of death. At his command, the ten-odd black-robed men swiftly drew their weapons and formed a neat array, lunging to attack Ye Xuan. The strength of these Black Demon Sect disciples was around the rank of Fifth or Sixth Grade Martial Masters; of course, there were also Seventh Grade Martial Masters among them. Although individually not strong, their coordination was exceptionally tacit. As they moved to attack Ye Xuan, the chilling light refracted from their weapons all aimed for Ye Xuan’s eyes, and their formidable assault gushed towards Ye Xuan like a river. Facing this synchronized barrage of attacks, Ye Xuan’s eyes closed slightly at the moment the chilling light reflected towards him, only opening them suddenly when the Black Demon Sect disciples were merely a few meters away. At that moment, Ye Xuan’s gaze seemed to carry Sword Qi, seeing through the cold light of the weapons and breaking down all the moves of the people in front of him. Ding! Ye Xuan struck with his sword, the sound faint, barely audible—so soft that everyone heard it as if it were a bell’s toll, the only sound remaining in their ears. But those who listened intently could feel the frequency of this sound rapidly intensifying. The sword light focused to a point as if by reducing its friction with the air, it achieved an astonishing speed. Huahong and the other two didn’t even see the trajectory of the sword stroke; they only saw a blur of the sword light flash by, and Ye Xuan’s strike was over. Thud, thud, thud! But the next moment, the three Black Demon Sect disciples closest to Ye Xuan collapsed, a trickle of blood appearing on their necks—it was clear they had been struck fatally by the sword. One sword, three lives taken. Not only were Huahong and the others dumbfounded, but even the remaining Black Demon Sect disciples showed a hint of fear in their eyes. Just one sword strike had instantly killed three of them; how could they fight this? Whoosh! The Yama Ghost General, who had intended to take advantage of the chaos to attack Ye Xuan, upon seeing Ye Xuan’s remarkable deadly sword strike, said nothing and turned to flee. As long as one kept one’s life, there would be no shortage of firewood. Today he was no longer capable of killing Ye Xuan, but once he regained his peak strength, killing Ye Xuan would be as simple as crushing an ant. "Thinking of leaving now?" A sword light seemed to flash through Ye Xuan’s eyes. If the Yama Ghost General had decisively fled a moment earlier, he might have escaped, but now it was too late. Even though Ye Xuan was nearly exhausted, he was determined not to let the Yama Ghost General, this great menace, get away.
