Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 397 - 360

It took a punch from the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra and didn’t shatter? Qi Xiu’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Does this sword also possess that eerie power?

He had noticed that the Headless Iron Rider’s longsword, after being struck by the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra, initially showed numerous fine cracks. However, in the blink of an eye, mottled patterns resembling corpse spots surged across it, and the blade instantly restored itself.

This eerie power is truly bizarre, Qi Xiu mused. Not only can it erode the flesh and blood of living beings, but it can also corrode lifeless metal?

Knocked over by the strike, the Headless Iron Rider quickly scrambled to its feet, its armor clashing with a resonant clang.

ROAR—

A sharp, terrifying screech suddenly erupted from within the Headless Iron Rider’s neck. The cold, decaying aura around it intensified immensely. With a heavy stomp of its hooves, it vanished from sight, transforming into an invisible blur as it charged at the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Blinding sparks flew wildly. Sword shadows danced in disarray, and a domineering gale, carrying the all-eroding eerie power, engulfed the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra.

"ROAR!"

An enraged roar burst from the dragon head, sweeping across the four corners of the world. The sheer force of it shattered the surface of the nearby city walls. A torrent of majestic Dragon Power erupted as the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, and its massive hands shot out.

BANG!

The Headless Iron Rider, moving as fast as fleeting light, was forcefully seized!

In the next second, terrifying strength capable of shattering mountains and rivers surged forth. A colossal fist, like a star falling from the heavens, crashed down. Tangible waves of power tore through the void, hammering the Headless Iron Rider with unmatched force.

Instantly, the void erupted in a massive spray of blood mist. The Headless Iron Rider, as large as a mountain, was directly pulverized into mush by the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra.

Its speed is comparable to a Bloodstained Layer Five expert, coupled with its unkillable nature and that longsword tainted with eerie power, Qi Xiu observed calmly, his sleeves gathered as he stood watching the battle. Even an average Blood-Stained Peak combatant would likely choose to avoid it.

This Headless Iron Rider, like the creepy male corpse, must have been a cultivator who had previously entered the Evernight Ancient Kingdom.

However, compared to the creepy male corpse, the Headless Iron Rider’s strength in life had been even greater.

Therefore, after being infected and corroded by the eerie power, its current strength was also far more formidable.

If not for the fact that the Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra was forged from Dragon Bones, rendering it immune to all forms of corrosive power, it might have been a different story. Even with its overwhelming strength, if the fight dragged on, it likely would have been worn down and eventually defeated by the Headless Iron Rider.

Looking at it this way, things are quite clear, Qi Xiu thought, rubbing the Golden Cry Jade Beads. He vaguely understood why, over so many years, countless cultivators had entered this Evernight Ancient Kingdom, yet not a single one had ever left alive.

The vanished city gate, the insurmountable city walls, and the seemingly prosperous city that was, in reality, utterly desolate and silent. Most critical of all were these undead monsters, infected by some inexplicable eerie power.

They couldn’t be killed, only suppressed, and the power used to suppress them would also be eroded over time. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Faced with such unkillable monsters that could only be delayed but not truly eliminated, escape was the only option.

Within this inescapable Evernight Ancient Kingdom, time itself became the undead monsters’ greatest ally.

When cultivators exhausted their strength and could no longer suppress or resist these undead monsters, their doom would naturally arrive. They too would be eroded by the eerie power, becoming one of the undead.

Since ancient times, who knew how many cultivators, yearning for the treasures of the Sheng Tang Empire, had disregarded countless warnings and ventured into this Evernight Ancient Kingdom, only to be relentlessly hunted down by undead monsters and perish in sorrow.

A swarm of ants can bite an elephant to death, Qi Xiu mused. Facing these creatures that are so incredibly difficult to kill, especially with the intense eerie power they possess... even a Dao Expert would likely be stumped. The immediate priority is to determine just how many undead monsters are within this city.

The Mighty Dragon Demon Vajra and the Headless Iron Rider were still locked in a furious exchange nearby. One was an undying, eerie monster; the other, a White Bone Demon, reborn and capable of reversing the cycle of life and death.

Both were unkillable existences. The two colossal figures collided hysterically, each desperately trying to be the first to completely annihilate the other.

A storm raged, and dust and smoke billowed.

Too noisy, Qi Xiu thought with a slight frown. He waved his large sleeve. A tremendous force surged from within it, like an invisible giant hand that seized the Headless Iron Rider and flung it far into the distance.

Six Realms Sleeve Universe!

His profound comprehension allowed Qi Xiu to utilize this Dharma Gate with impeccable mastery, capturing and releasing with a mere thought. At full power, the explosive force of this technique could hurl someone tens of thousands of miles away. The damage inflicted was average, but the humiliation was extreme.

After casually tossing the Headless Iron Rider away like a deflated ball, Qi Xiu raised one hand and formed a Daoist Incantation. A pure white torrent gushed forth from his sleeve, roaring like a waterfall erupting from the ground.

Countless white sparrows, numbering in the millions, chirped as they took to the sky. These sparrows possessed no combat capability and were even more fragile than ordinary birds.

But as creations of his Painting Divine Marvel, they could serve as Qi Xiu’s eyes.

The Evernight Ancient Kingdom was vast and seemingly endless. Relying on the Yellow Turban Strongman to search it would take an unknown amount of time. Furthermore, the Yellow Turban Strongman was too large a target and would easily encounter those undead monsters. These white sparrows, however, had no such drawback.

They were small, numerous, and as creations of a Divine Marvel, possessed no aura. Flying high above, they would be virtually undetectable, making them an excellent means of reconnaissance.
