Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 399 - 360: Another... Bronze Ring_3

"Hehehe, you’re doing well. I like you. As long as you behave, I won’t kill you."

Having made grand promises to Wei, the sinister man then forced the pitiful old man to continue leading him toward the Evernight Ancient Kingdom.

「The time it took for half an incense stick to burn passed.」

Eventually, they reached the Evernight Ancient Kingdom, its towering city gates piercing the clouds, still watching coldly.

As if sensing their presence, the two immense, heavy gates slowly creaked open, and the cold, swirling mist surged out once again.

"The legendary relics of Sheng Tang, an eternal treasure, hehe, I couldn’t care less for them. Food Demon Sect... you are mine now!"

A demonic grin spread across his face as the sinister man slowly raised his right hand; on his thumb was a bronze ring that faintly glinted with a cold light.

Food Demon Sect... This is it, I’m going to die!

Upon hearing the words "Food Demon Sect," Wei was initially stunned. He only knew that the Evernight Ancient Kingdom concealed its own treasures and had never heard of any connection to the legendary Food Demon Sect. Then, his complexion turned deathly pale.

If the sinister man dared to speak openly about the Food Demon Sect in front of him, it meant he never intended to let him leave alive. Only the dead can keep secrets.

Instantly, Wei felt as though he had plunged into an ice cave. The last glimmer of hope was extinguished, leaving him staggering, virtually a walking corpse.

The sinister man pushed him along numbly into the Evernight Ancient Kingdom, a place he had approached many times but had never before set foot inside.

Just as they stepped past the city gate, a familiar figure appeared in Wei’s vacant, bewildered eyes.

"Wei?"

Qi Xiu, surprised, looked askance at the sudden appearance of Wei. Wasn’t this old man deeply wary of the Evernight Ancient Kingdom? How could he have entered? And the way he looks...

While Qi Xiu was still surprised, a blood-red shadow abruptly flashed. Two extremely dark Sword Lights, emanating a thick, ominous aura, shot out. In the unseen realm, it was as if countless Spirit Beings wailed and lamented.

BUZZ—

The Hunyuan Sword Gourd tied to his waist suddenly vibrated. Its mouth popped open, and the Primordial Sword Mang shot out like a soaring rainbow, instantly bursting forth with myriad colors. Under a sovereign will that commanded the Ten Thousand Laws and governed all qi, the two forbidden-like Sword Lights collided with the Primordial Sword Mang several times. With each collision, the dark Sword Light diminished. After the ninth impact, the terrifying Sword Light, which seemed to have flown from Hell itself, was stripped of all its power by the Primordial Sword Mang.

"Such a heavy baleful aura. Where did this Demonic Cultivator come from?"

Sensing the extremely dense, gloomy, and baleful energy in the air, Qi Xiu’s expression turned cold. He somewhat understood why Wei had come to the Evernight Ancient Kingdom and why he looked so miserable.

"Hehehe, who would have thought I’d encounter a master as soon as I entered the city."

A faint laugh echoed around, yet the sinister man’s figure was nowhere to be seen, as if he had melted into the surrounding void.

"Such theatrics."

Too lazy to waste words on such a Demonic Cultivator, Qi Xiu flipped his palm, revealing a Magic Sword. It was entirely bluish-purple, its body densely covered with over a thousand tiny blades, like a river of stars.

Purple Cloud Boundless Sword!

With a thought, the Purple Cloud Boundless Sword vibrated abruptly. One after another, immense purple streaks of light burst forth, trailing long, dazzling tails of flame, instantly dyeing the entire Sky Dome a blinding bluish-purple.

Hundreds of Purple Cloud Boundless Sword Lights unleashed a covering bombardment on the surroundings.

Amidst the deafening, continuous explosions, pillars of fire erupted and surged violently. Before long, a figure, slightly disheveled and wrapped in Purple Cloud True Fire, hastily leaped out.

Raising his right hand, a white light pulsed in his palm. Qi Xiu instantly locked onto this Demonic Cultivator, who was attempting to extinguish the Purple Cloud True Fire on his body. Qi Xiu’s eyes were calm, without a ripple.

Hunyuan Ultimate Cannon!

Two consecutive shots!
