Chapter 192 - 52: The Death of the Necrocontroller Demon! (6/3)

Chapter 192: Chapter 52: The Death of the Necrocontroller Demon! (6/3)Having devoured Lu Jin’s Fate Pattern and transformed it for his own use, at this moment, under the call of the Necrocontroller Demon, all the corpses of the Demon Disciples Martial Artists who died at the hands of An Jing began to tremble slightly as if they were about to resurrect. ——If the entire Kanming City were to be sacrificed, then undoubtedly, a Necrocontroller Demon who is at least at the peak of the Martial Meridian and very likely to break through the Divine Repository soon, will control nearly a million soulless demons to ravage the northwest frontier. This kind of disaster, although it cannot be mentioned in the same breath as the Hanhai Demon Calamity, is still considered a minor demon calamity. "Hahahaha, you’ve prematurely awakened our lord’s Demon Embryo. Although the plan has failed, you are undoubtedly going to die!" Lu Jin’s ghost was among them, his soul exceptionally immense, even circling around the Necrocontroller Demon, solidified and transformed into a long sword in His hand. The Demon Disciple, realizing his own demise but still laughing heartily, carried a taste of self-destruction intermingled with overwhelming madness, "Little devil from the Heaven’s Will Demon Sect, you saved the people of this city, but who will save you? This place has become our lord’s Law Domain, Divine Sense is blocked, isolated from inside and out, no one can help you!" "To die alongside a genius like you is truly delightful!" The Necrocontroller Demon swung his sword, unleashing a sword qi that was swift like thunder light. The dark purple Demonic Qi carried a dense aura of death, instantly crossing a distance of fifty zhang to strike directly at An Jing who stood motionless in place. "Oh?" Yet An Jing remained unaffected, lifting his head as a blood-colored Sword Spear appeared in his hand, "You’re saying... isolated from inside and out, no one can help me?" "In other words, no one can see the truth here?" "This..." Lu Jin’s soul trembled, at this moment, watching An Jing’s momentum continually rise, he realized he might have underestimated, or even greatly underestimated, the young man before him. ——How many tricks did this guy hide during our battle?! Actually, not many. Just one Fate Pattern... an unfinished Heavenly Mandate, that’s all. The Blood Fiend condensed into the Sword Spear swung, bringing up gusts of bloody air, easily dispersing the demon sword’s sword qi. At this moment, a red star continuously dripping with fresh blood appeared behind An Jing’s head, followed by the faint glimmer of Taibai Gold. A deep voice emanated from the middle of the Blood Fiend Sword Array that carried the aura of endless weapons of war, "Good." Heat like molten lava surged from his blood vessels, tumultuous within his body. ——Good, good. I can feel the blood heating up. Now, it’s time to test if I can slay the Heavenly Demon! Boom! Amidst Lu Jin’s ghost’s incredulous exclamations of ’Twin stars?! Divine Mandate?!’, An Jing stamped the ground, snow and dust billowed up, forming a huge circular depression. The very next moment, he surged up from the earth, with the Piercing Armor True Strength of the Imperial Heaven bursting forth, and intensified by the Mysterious Steps, An Jing shot toward the Necrocontroller Demon like an arrow off its string. Not the Sword Box, not explosives, not the straw raincoat, nor any external object — An Jing’s true strongest power was actually his Martial Arts. His... Sword! The Blood Fiend Sword Spear, with Evil Qi floating around it, was suddenly burdened with hundreds of pounds of extra weight, and this heft, combined with An Jing’s great strength, tore through the air, slashing towards the Necrocontroller Demon with unparalleled momentum. Seeing this, the Necrocontroller Demon attempted to raise his sword to block, but saw An Jing’s heavy and powerful Sword Spear suddenly lighten as if it had no weight at all, swiftly evading the demon sword’s blade and piercing through His shoulder. Demonic Qi gushed out, the Necrocontroller Demon staggered back, and then was pursued by An Jing. The Sword Spear, which had become heavier again, naturally bypassed all of the Necrocontroller Demon’s defenses and, with a swift turn, severed the arm wielding the sword. Gather and Disperse as Desired, Merge Soldiers into Body! This was the power of Divine Skill, even Martial Artists of the same level would be caught off guard in such a situation, let alone a Heavenly Demon? This Necrocontroller Demon seemed mindless and without consciousness. He was supposed to have drawn on the souls of all living beings in Entire Kanming City to be born, now but a mere empty husk with form but no substance. All His Martial Skills and combat methods were centered around Lu Jin. As for Lu Jin’s Martial Arts... honestly, in An Jing’s view, it was only slightly better than an instructor at the Hanging Fate Manor, probably could last a while in his hands but that’s considerably good already. However, his specialty was fist techniques, yet this Heavenly Demon insisted on using a sword. There is undeniably a high wall between unarmed and armed combat. Yet, using a weapon without the knowledge of how to, makes it easy to be defeated by other masters of arms! But An Jing thought wrong. Bereft of an arm, the demon sword also fallen, the Necrocontroller Demon who seemed on the verge of collapse suddenly became aware and animated. "[So it’s you]" He chuckled softly as he formed a hand seal: "[Law Domain, Sacrifice.]" The severed arm and Law Sword suddenly shattered, like a signal. A surging Demonic Qi violently erupted, causing An Jing to become alert. ——Something’s not right! At this very moment, two of the three Earth Pulse Nodes controlled by the True Demon Sect were still active despite one being reclaimed by Da Chen’s officials, but the remaining two nodes suddenly shone with dark purple demonic light. The immense power of the Earth Pulse churned relentlessly, beginning to converge towards the temporary Law Domain at Chongyi Building. The boiling Earth Pulse power was incredibly restless. Everywhere it passed, the ground cracked open, shaking and spreading, streets bulged, uneven and rugged, residences split, shops collapsed, and a continuous stream of screams echoed throughout the city! ——Damn it! That demon sword isn’t a blade! An Jing finally realized why the Necrocontroller Demon used a sword as a weapon—it wasn’t a weapon at all, but a Law Sword used to control the Earth Vein! It had been staying still, not because it had just been born and didn’t know what to do, but because it was guiding the already eroded power of the Earth Vein, intending to use its Divine Skill to kill him or even capture him alive! How laughable, let’s see who kills whom first! Hum! Without any hesitation, An Jing activated the tenth layer of Taibai Fiend Qi, using the Houtu Skills as the base, and the Imperial Heaven technique for utility, he mustered a force brimming with vigorous vitality. Now that the enemy had shown its cards, he, too, must give his all! In his mind surfaced the sword he had once seen in a dream, the one that had cut through the Nine Heavens Demon Sky, splitting the Heavenly Domains and Lands... As if in a dream, just like now! At this moment, under these circumstances... The Heart Sword should emerge from the heart’s sheath, the Heavenly Sword to slay the Heavenly Demon! ——Clang! With a light ring, An Jing thrust the Sword Spear in his hand forward, extending a Fiendish Qi blade edge over six feet long, imbued with the Subdue Evil Sword Intent, transforming into a red sword light that seemed to split the entire Law Domain, slashing towards the Necrocontroller Demon that, for some reason, had begun to laugh! With one flash of Blood Fiend, everything seemed to grow quiet; a sword light, solid as reality, etched a trail straight as an arrow. Like lightning, these marks branched out, causing the air to be filled with the scent of burning. Crack, with no resistance—resistance would have been futile—the Necrocontroller Demon’s body was cleaved in two! It wasn’t dead just yet, as the life force of a Heavenly Demon prevented it from dissipating for a while. However, at this moment, even An Jing could feel two massive forces of Earth Vein rushing towards the ground beneath him, and indeed, he was trapped in this deep purple Law Domain, with no escape! "Get out of here!" And the Subdue Evil Sword Spirit said, "Go to the Tianyuan Realm! This Law Domain might stop you, but it can’t stop my Great Void Passage!" "No choice left!" Even if the Great Void Passage would expose him to the Heavenly Demon, if he didn’t traverse now, he might be killed by the self-destructing Earth Vein force along with the Law Domain. Without the need to weigh pros and cons, An Jing was about to summon the Subdue Evil sword hilt and tear open the Great Void Passage. But then, something unexpected happened. [If you need help, just say so! Do you really want to deal with them all by yourself?] The jade token on his arm suddenly ignited, and You Ruhui’s somewhat panicked voice sounded: [If it weren’t for sensing the Heavenly Demon’s aura, I wouldn’t have noticed... What’s going on, why is the Earth Vein so restless?] [Don’t be afraid, I will calm them!] Accompanied by the voice of the Royal Lady with Emperor’s Blood, the surging, tumultuous power of the Earth Vein slowly settled down. It was as if a restless, continuously crying child was embraced by its mother, who gently stroked and soothed it with her soft voice, gradually calming and drifting into a peaceful sleep. Both the Heavenly Demon and An Jing were stunned, sensing the pulsating force deep within the Earth going from restlessness to stability, from a destructive tsunami to calm waves. "To possess such power..." An Jing murmured to himself, but he soon realized something was wrong, frowning tightly and thinking to himself, "Damn, although the secret of my ability to shuttle through the Great Void is preserved, You Ruhui’s manipulation of the Earth Vein has exposed her identity!" Indeed, the dying Heavenly Demon also noticed this. [...You are actually involved with each other...] Before completely dissipating, the Necrocontroller Demon took a deep look at An Jing, its pupils turning dark gold, and then dissipated into a fierce purple flame. This demonic fire was encased by a light wheel, like a Fate Pattern totem. Afar. At the temporary Law Altar, You Ruhui’s figure slowly collapsed, falling into Granny Huai’s embrace. "Who are these people, really? To think one person alone uprooted the True Demon Sect’s stronghold and even killed a real Heavenly Demon... Who is he? Even my brothers and sisters weren’t so capable in their youth..." She muttered to herself, "No wonder father always said, never underestimate the people of this world, even if it’s just... He never underestimated anyone, yet he still died... Why? Why..." "Sleep, child..." From sheer exhaustion, the young girl’s thoughts began to blur, and Granny Huai held You Ruhui in her arms, gently soothing her: "You’ve done everything you could... sleep now." "Have a good sleep."
