Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 387 - 352: Food Demon Sect...

BOOM—

Huang Chun, who had revived his Immortal Sword Body, met head-on with the Nine Heavens Thunder King Greatsword that seemed poised to pierce a hole through the sky.

A deafening explosion resounded.

The colossal sword that tore through the void surged with lightning, emitting a blinding radiance many times more brilliant than Taiyang, making the Zhenwu Escort Agency’s watchful escorts, hiding miles away, wince with pain, daring not to look directly any longer.

The entire mountain range was blown apart. Thunder rolled, the void trembled, and boundless lightning filled the world like dragons bursting from their nests.

The Nine Heavens Thunder King Greatsword dissipated. Huang Chun’s body was shrouded in white smoke, silver-gray blood flowed from his wounds, and unextinguished streaks of Lei Mang ZAPPED around his body, CRACKLING loudly.

"Well played, Shenxiao Sect. Masters of Thunder Magic, experts of the Sword Control Technique. Today, I, Huang, have truly broadened my horizons," said Huang Chun.

The horrific wounds that bared bones all over his body gradually healed, and Huang Chun exhaled a stream of scorching breath.

Since he had cultivated the Iron Bone Sword Sect’s Blood-Stained Realm Secret Technique, the Immortal Sword Body, this was the first time he had ever been so badly battered.

And by a similar sword art, no less.

"Shall we continue?" Qi Xiu asked, folding his sleeves and looking down at Huang Chun from his superior position. His black and white eyes, their Divine Luster Inwardly Concealed, were as tranquil as an abyss.

The Heaven and Earth Imperial Sword Skill, a unique Sword Control Technique from the Taibai Sword Sect, is known for its overwhelming power, making it virtually invincible against cultivators of the same realm. That previous Nine Heavens Thunder King Greatsword was merely a probing strike. He had not yet fully revealed the true terror of this Sword Control Technique.

"Please, Daoist Master, enlighten me!" Huang Chun said, his eyes resolute as he performed a deep fist clasp towards Qi Xiu.

At this moment, he was not acting on behalf of the Zhenwu Escort Agency, but rather as a Sword Cultivator, elated at discovering a new horizon in his swordsmanship.

To learn the Dao in the morning and be content to die by evening. This pure heart for seeking the Dao was one reason why a Sword Cultivator’s cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds, almost without hindrance. With a heart free from distractions and no regrets even in death, what could not be achieved with such conviction?

"As you wish," Qi Xiu said, a flicker in his eyes as a martial spirit stirred within him. Throughout his cultivation journey, he had also wanted to see if he could achieve invincibility within his realm without resorting to various realm-surpassing techniques or Magical Treasures. Huang Chun hailed from the Iron Bone Sword Sect, one of Dianchuan’s Ten Great Sects, and his cultivation had reached the Blood-Stained Peak. He was the perfect opponent to test what Qi Xiu had learned.

"Come!"

With a thunderous shout, Huang Chun pushed his Immortal Sword Body to its absolute limit. His entire being seemed to transform into an invincible longsword capable of sundering heaven and earth. His aura instantly became incomparably sharp. Without a single wasted word, he launched himself forward, becoming a streak of Sword Light that tore across the sky, unleashing a killing blow intended to take down Qi Xiu in an instant!

CLANG—

BOOM!

The sound of their collision was ear-piercing. Visible shockwaves erupted, flattening everything in all directions.

Amid the dazzling light, countless sparks rained down like a torrential downpour.

Wielding a White Bone Magic Sword in one hand—its hilt adorned with a dragon head that exuded a tyrannical, fierce pressure and pulsed with terrifying Demon Light—Qi Xiu, with his other hand behind his back, clashed swords with Huang Chun.

Heaven and Earth Imperial, White Bone becomes the Sword!

The profound strength of the Heaven and Earth Imperial Sword Skill lay not only in its ability to transform all things in creation into a sword but also in its capacity to maximize the characteristics of the transformed object, evolving them into corresponding techniques. Just as the Nine Heavens Thunder King Greatsword Qi Xiu had previously manifested with Thunder Magic fully showcased the destructive power of thunder—the most yang and unyielding of all powers, surpassing all other Daos in destructive force. If Huang Chun were not a disciple of the Iron Bone Sword Sect, possessing a body-refining Dharma Gate as domineering as the Immortal Sword Body, that single sword strike would have cost him several lives.

The White Bone Magic Sword Qi Xiu now wielded was transformed from the White Bone Demonic Dao. This White Bone Magic Sword, manifested from the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra, was not only incredibly durable but also imbued its wielder with the True Dragon Clan’s innate combat instincts. Thus, even though Qi Xiu had never formally trained in sword fighting techniques, he could still battle Huang Chun, a great Sword Cultivator, on equal footing, trading blows back and forth.

The aftershocks of their battle erupted continuously, accompanied by unending, colossal booms.

High in the Sky Dome, the figures of Qi Xiu and Huang Chun were no longer visible; only two streaks of light, one white and one silver, could be seen constantly colliding, piercing the void and tearing open terrifying black holes.

"Great Annihilation of the Ten Directions! Ultimate Dao, Selfless Me!"

BOOM—

Suddenly, Huang Chun uttered a low shout. His Sword Light grew countless times more terrifying as he sacrificed all nine of his blood clones.

Empowered by infinite Sword Intent, he thrust out a fist. It carried the force of all creation collapsing as it tore open the Sky Dome, creating a massive fissure that split the Cosmic Bi, threatening to unravel the entire world.

Sacrificing all his blood clones, he left himself no path of retreat.

At this moment, Huang Chun unleashed his absolute peak battle strength.

CRACK—

The moment the White Bone Magic Sword collided with Huang Chun’s fist, it shattered like broken porcelain, exploding into fragments. The relentless Sword Intent, its momentum undiminished, surged from the impact, shredding Qi Xiu’s right sleeve to pieces.

RRRIP—

Retreating a thousand zhang, Qi Xiu looked at his heavily damaged sleeve, a trace of astonishment in his eyes. "No wonder they say Sword Cultivators fight without regard for their lives. It seems the rumors are true."

After shattering the White Bone Magic Sword with a punch, a sharp light flashed in Huang Chun’s eyes. His figure blurred as he lunged toward Qi Xiu once more.

"Still coming?"

A purple glint flashed in Qi Xiu’s eyes. He could see that Huang Chun’s aura was currently at its zenith, like the midday sun; he had clearly used some Dharma Gate to temporarily surge his power. Qi Xiu naturally wouldn’t clash head-on with him again.

RUMBLE—

Suddenly, the space between heaven and earth became unbearably hot. Qi Xiu flipped his palm, and an invisible Fiery Energy condensed before him, forming an exceedingly unique Magic Sword.

This Magic Sword was entirely blue-purple. Its body was densely covered with over a thousand tiny blades, like a multitude of twinkling stars, each one containing endless sharpness and power.
