Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 243 - 242 Assassination Failure

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Bai and the Heavenly Demon were battling while moving at high speeds, traveling over hundreds of meters and bursting out from underground into a civilian area.

The ten Heavenly Demons were all shocked by Zhou Bai’s performance.

"Why is this kid so fast?"

"The combined power of the man and the sword is just slightly above ours, but the key is his incredible speed!"

"His swordsmanship is also extremely exquisite, like that of a swordsman who has practiced for decades, completely overpowering us with his moves."

"No worry, he can’t kill us," Kong Zheng said, "Just hold him off. His high speed is limited, and he’s slowing down."

"Go all out and capture him!"

They never anticipated that with their strength as fourth realm cultivators, attacking together, they would still be unable to defeat Zhou Bai.

Once they emerged onto the surface, accompanied by bouts of fierce roars, their bodies were seen violently expanding amid bursts of black particles and continuously absorbing the surrounding materials like cement and steel bars. In the blink of an eye, they all swelled to over fifty meters in height.

Xing Jun laughed, "Originally just a mere first-realm cultivator, after modification, he can reach this extent. This is the power of Heavenly Demon technology."

After enlarging, the Heavenly Demons roared up to the sky and then fiercely charged at Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai’s expression slightly changed upon seeing this: ’The strength of Heavenly Demons entirely depends on their ultimate size. The larger they can swell, the stronger they are. From 50 meters to 100 meters, they possess the strength comparable to a fourth realm.’

’No wonder Jiang Li and Sun Qi couldn’t hold them back. Ten fourth-realm against two, it’s normal to be quickly defeated.’

At that moment, the ten Heavenly Demons suddenly unleashed their true forms, their strength amplified by their immense size.

In contrast, Zhou Bai’s top speed required the Laziness Acceleration to maintain, with a thousand units of laziness consumed every second in addition to severe physical strain, which he couldn’t sustain for long.

And as Zhou Bai’s speed slowed down, the ten Heavenly Demons, with their massive stature, imposed even more pressure on him.

Just then, the sword in Zhou Bai’s hand flew out of his grip, spinning rapidly in midair.

"What’s happening? The sword slipped from his hand?"

"Great opportunity!"

Kong Zheng commanded, "Sever his limbs, then take him away!"

Yet Zhou Bai’s face remained calm, showing no sign of panic, thoughts of swordsmanship flickering through his mind from Chengying.

’These Heavenly Demons are too resilient. I’ve used various sword techniques in battle against them, slicing into their bodies, but couldn’t completely kill them. After enlarging, normal cuts are even less effective.’

’To kill them, maybe I need to completely shatter them.’

In the next moment, a fierce wind swept up towards Chengying in midair as Zhou Bai infused 3000 points of Primordial Spirit strength into Chengying, causing it to rapidly spin like a giant drill, issuing thunderous noises of air being torn apart.

Gale Breath Walk, alien powers from beyond, Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit strength, and his physical strength, these four forces converged on Chengying Sword at this moment.

A powerful sense of threat emanated from Chengying Sword, but before Kong Zheng could react, Zhou Bai’s figure flashed again, and with a supersonic impact, his foot kicked the end of Chengying’s sword handle, instantly splitting it.

In that split-second, the wind, Primordial Spirit strength, alien powers, and Zhou Bai’s physical strength erupted simultaneously, twisting into a force that, with its high-speed spinning, transformed into dozens of sword techniques sweeping forward.

In one move, Zhou Bai burst forth with all his strength.

Chengying flashed slightly and plunged from the sky, accompanied by a super-high-speed spiral motion, creating a fierce tornado as it pierced the forehead of a Heavenly Demon.

Boom!

Amid the explosive sound, Chengying almost instantaneously pierced through the Heavenly Demon’s body from head to toe.

And as the Chengying Sword passed by, it didn’t merely pierce through, but under the extremely high-speed rotation, it completely tore apart, shattered, and broke the Heavenly Demon’s body.

The next moment, the body of the Heavenly Demon turned into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.

Zhou Bai’s Chengying Sword also directly pierced the ground, sinking deeply into the earth beyond measure.

Xing Jun shook his head, "Suffering major damage, it still affects the entire neural network and the power furnace, huh? It’s still a long way from the Heavenly Demon Empress’s goal of Blood Rebirth."

Zhou Bai exhaled heavily, feeling the soreness all over his body, knowing that the burden on his body had increased after the supersonic strike.

Thus, Zhou Bai sighed, fell backwards with his back to the sky, and lay on the ground: ’Damn, I had planned to stand up and fight stylishly after this.’

The remaining nine Heavenly Demons had originally watched in astonishment as Zhou Bai killed a Heavenly Demon, but the next moment they saw Zhou Bai fall to the ground, they reacted.

"It’s okay, the Heavenly Demons can be reborn even if they die."

"Catch him, he doesn’t have his sword anymore."

"He’s fallen down, that move just now must have consumed a lot!"

The nine Heavenly Demons roared in unison, releasing their most ferocious flames towards Zhou Bai.

The white-hot flames seemed to burn everything to ashes, even melting and destroying the ground.

But within the fire, they saw Zhou Bai climb out of the flames unscathed, his limbs stepping on the melting ground as if walking on water, then they saw him silently raise his middle finger: "Turn up the heat, the water’s gone cold, didn’t you get your fill?"

"What? He’s unscathed?"

"He’s actually fine? The alloy on the ground has melted!"

"But why is he lying down?"

"Is his body that strong?" Kong Zheng incredulously said, "Then why did he dodge during the fight just now? Was he just playing with us all along?"

"No, he was deliberately delaying us, waiting for backup, trying to capture us all in one fell swoop? Even bursting his clothes and shoes, was he trying to make himself look more distressed so we thought we had the upper hand?"

Flashes of Zhou Bai’s composed expression during the fight crossed Kong Zheng’s mind; everything seemed to be under his control, even him lying on the ground now seemed imbued with inscrutable significance, there must be a special meaning to it.

The nine Heavenly Demons were starting to despair; Zhou Bai’s physical strength was to such a degree, there’s no point in fighting.

Jiang Hai was also stunned, unable to imagine what level of physical prowess one needed to remain unscathed under such extreme temperatures.

Just then, beams of light flew above the nine Heavenly Demons; the guards from Donghua City had arrived.

As more and more cultivators joined the attack, the nine Heavenly Demons started to retreat, almost about to be captured, when Xing Jun, who was remotely watching the battle, silently sent a new order.

The next moment, intense flames erupted from the bodies of the nine Heavenly Demons; they were going to self-destruct.

However, just as the nine Heavenly Demons were about to explode, nine beams of light swords descended from the sky, pinning the Heavenly Demons to the ground, unmoving; the flames were extinguished, and even their self-destruction was halted.

Kong Zheng struggled fiercely, looking at the incoming cultivators, and yelled, "You idiots! We can’t possibly defeat the Heavenly Demons, why still resist desperately? Do you want to drain the last drop of human blood?"

Zhao Shouyi slowly flew in from the sky, the treasured artifact ’Heavenly Thief Map’ trembled slightly behind him, and beams of light sword spread out, swelling against the wind upon appearance, turning into giant light swords tens of meters long, directly piercing through the limbs of Kong Zheng and the other Heavenly Demons, reinforcing the seal, and completely restraining them.

Because the stronger the Heavenly Demon, the longer it takes for them to revive.

Thus, the strategy for humans has always been, annihilate the strong Heavenly Demons and try to seal the weak ones.

After finishing all this, Zhao Shouyi directed numerous cultivators to seal each Heavenly Demon with an Array, lock down the scene, relocate civilians... After all these tasks, he finally had time to see Zhou Bai.

He saw Zhou Bai still resting on the ground.

Zhao Shouyi glanced at the sword cut beside him, a thought flickered slightly, and the Primordial Spirit power followed the crevice deep into the ground, pulling up the Chengying which had just been thrust down, now covered with scars and cracks, evidently heavily damaged in the recent battle.
