Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 515 - 450: Outrageous! (Part 2)

Grunting, blood tears flowed from the corners of Li Su’s eyes, and from the shattered bead came an intense and weighty sound of footsteps.

In the next moment, countless wooden figures emerged, some human and some demon.

But similarly, all were covered with fist-sized blood blisters, filled with cold and filthy, malevolent blood.

"Go!"

Forming a Daoist incantation, Li Su fiercely tore off the blood robe on him, tossing it forcefully, instantly transforming the tattered robe into an endless black-red blood cloud, forcibly resisting the descending frost storm.

Those silhouettes with staggering steps immediately received orders, their originally hollow eyes suddenly lit up with a trace of blood light and madly pounced towards Qi Xiu.

Watching the figures pounce towards him, Qi Xiu’s expression remained unchanged, the Frost Cloud Flame in his hand suddenly turned, the fan that was originally frigid and icy instantly transformed into blazingly fervent red heat.

Boom——

With a fierce swing, terrifying fire clouds surged, transforming red gold firelight into small blazing suns, spinning golden suns, each transforming into enormous swords piercing the void, filling the space with an oppressive aura of burning the sky and boiling the sea.

"What?!"

Expression wildly shaken, gazing at the Frost Cloud Flame in Qi Xiu’s hand, Li Su hadn’t expected this magical treasure to hold yet another divine mystery.

The sea of fire surged, those figures covered in blisters of filthy blood tried to explode themselves, but like moths to a flame, fell rapidly into the blaze, turning to ashes in a flash.

With just the Frost Cloud Flame, Qi Xiu pinned down the Demon Path True Monarch dead.

"How did you use such a paltry trick to kill Wuchenzi, the elder?"

With one hand behind him, Qi Xiu stood on Qingyun, looking down at Li Su below, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Xuanzhong Legal Sect!

The foremost among the Ten Great Sects in Qilu Province!

Its status is equivalent to the Dachan Temple in Dianchuan Province.

Though not an Ancient Sect with inheritance dating back to the Middle Ancient Era like the Shenxiao Sect.

Yet it’s a rising power that consecutively produced three Primordial Spirit True Honors in the current age!

The Daoist inheritance of Xuanzhong Legal Sect has some similarities to Qi Xiu’s Primordial Path.

Known as: Profound upon profound, great skill in simplicity!

It follows a path of gathering vast dharma, crushing the enemies of all eras.

Wuchenzi, sent by Xuanzhong Legal Sect as a True Monarch and expert, had a cultivation of Dao Embodiment level three, and his exceptional talent allowed him to master various Dharma Gates effortlessly, placing him at least in the top ten Dao experts in Qilu Province.

Moreover, Xuanzhong Legal Sect maintains good relations with Shenxiao Sect.

The Supreme Sect Leader two generations ago of Shenxiao Sect, Dongfang Qing’s grandmaster, had exchanges of Dao with the Supreme Sect Leader of Xuanzhong Legal Sect.

Disciples of both sects have mutual interactions.

This is the reason why, upon learning Li Su killed Wuchenzi, Qi Xiu activated the tenfold Tenacity Retention, determined to kill him upon discovery!

"Hehe, that old fool had some skills, but too upright, this True Monarch deployed a little trick..."

Slaying two Dao experts consecutively, Li Su’s lips curled in a smug smile, but just as he prepared to boast about his cunning strategy, he suddenly noticed the young Daoist opposite him seemed amiss.

"Hmm? Not good!"

Narrowing his eyes, channeling his vision technique, Li Su’s eyes filled with blood flow, realizing that the young Daoist opposite was actually an illusion, formed from gathered water vapor.

"That’s a false body, the True Body is..."

Heart wildly alarmed, Li Su suddenly felt an immense pain as if his whole body was about to split, an unspeakable agony like countless red-hot iron rods stirring within him.

"You enjoy sneaky attacks so much, let Qi have you experience this taste."

Using the Phantom Mist Method from the Black Water True Skill to form a false body to attract Li Su’s attention, Qi Xiu’s True Body had already transformed into Innate Primeval Breath, appearing behind him.

The moment his voice rang out, Qi Xiu struck fiercely with his palm, under the boundless terrifying cultivation, this strike shook the universe, asserted sovereign dominance, each fingerprint on his hand surging with vigorous primordial qi.

"You..."

Without even the time to turn, Li Su had only slightly turned his head when the palm already landed squarely on him.

Boom—

After a moment of silence, Li Su’s body suddenly exploded.

A layer of Primordial pressure like a tsunami swept through, exuding a terrifying aura capable of crushing all things between heaven and earth. The extremely domineering, weighty essence made this Space-Bounding Grotto Heaven tremble as if about to disintegrate.

Though Qi Xiu delivered a full-force palm strike to kill Li Su, he did not relax, as purple light flickered in his eyes, scanning the void.

And indeed, within the vast remnants of this shaking aura.

A hidden, sinister blob of blood water sped forward through the cracks, swiftly flying out of Qi Xiu’s line of sight in a blink.

Having experienced the molting and feigned death of the Snake Demon King, Qi Xiu was long prepared for such cunning survival tricks of these demon ilk.

Seeing that blob of filthy blood trying to escape, a snow-white, flawless beam of mirror light suddenly flew out, shining with unmatched precision on the blob of filthy blood.

Under the illumination of Haotian Mirror’s Light, this blob of filthy blood twisted and contorted crazily, transforming into Li Su’s visage, screaming mournfully:

"You damn brute, do you really want a relentless pursuit to death!"

Paying no heed to Li Su’s dying struggles, Qi Xiu only indifferently operated the Haotian Mirror in his hand, making the snow-white mirror light grow ever more brilliant and dazzling, intending to thoroughly dissolve this blob of filthy blood.

Yet just as Li Su was about to be completely annihilated by the Haotian Mirror’s Light, a laughing white figure suddenly flickered by, reaching out with a big hand to directly fish Li Su from the beam.

"Grandpa Bodhi, it’s these two things that want to eat me!"

The slightly prideful voice of the Ginseng Spirit reappeared, revealing a chubby toddler with red flowers atop its head, leisurely walking out with hands on hips. In front of him stood an old man wearing a white robe, sporting a big bald head with a face full of smiles.

"Alright, alright, good grandson, let grandpa teach him a lesson for you."

Holding Li Su in one hand, divine light flowed between the old man’s fingers, trapping this Demon Path True Monarch completely, unable to leave, forced to abuse profanely within the palm.

"Trying to eat my family’s grandson? Let you taste what it’s like to be eaten then."

Glancing down at Li Su within his palm, Old Man Bodhi raised his hand in a summon, and a crystal of ore suddenly burst, sending forth a vine entirely dark gold, exuding an ancient, immortal aura, its surface covered in scale-like patterns.

Upon seeing this vine, Qi Xiu’s expression slightly changed, and an unusual feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

It was...

"Take it."

Without minding Qi Xiu, Old Man Bodhi casually tossed Li Su transformed into filthy blood toward the vine with an ancient, vast aura.

"You old brute, I, True Monarch, will perish with you!"

Seeing no hope of escape, Li Su went for broke, stirring up his last strength, as the filthy blood collided madly, an aura of corruption pervasive to the ends of the earth, chilling and eerie, vaguely seemed to connect to an incomparably ancient, deep Blood Sea.

The Blood Sea surged, a Black Red Lotus Platform brimming with boundless slaughter intent, as if piercing the heavens and earth, faintly revealed.

But just when Li Su was about to sacrifice everything to summon this power for obliterating all surroundings, burning both jade and stone.

Boom!

The vine’s top suddenly split open with a big mouth, and with a loud noise, it swallowed the self-destructing Li Su whole.

"Burp..."

Letting out a satiated burp with strands of blood, the giant vine lazily came beside Old Man Bodhi, affectionately nudging his palm.

"One remains."

Having dealt with Li Su, Old Man Bodhi slowly turned his gaze to Qi Xiu.

The next instant!

Terrifying to the extreme, the giant vine pounced toward Qi Xiu, its ancient, immortal body spanned the void, dense scales emanating heavy, vast pressure.

Rip!

The blood basin once again opened wide, seemingly about to swallow Qi Xiu just like Li Su the next second.

At this moment, Qi Xiu slowly raised his head, the strange color in his eyes had already vanished, as he calmly gazed at the giant vine lunging to bite him, uttering a soft, admonishing shout:

"Insolence!"
