Chapter 480

"Even if you join forces, you cannot change the fact that you will be defeated!"

Chi You looked at Su Xuan and Xiao Li standing on the back of the Pixiu, his voice indifferent.

The Demon Sword was swung by him one after another. The twenty-four flying swords, under Su Xuan's manipulation, constantly collided with it. However, the Demon Sword erupted with terrifying power, and the twenty-four flying swords were constantly knocked away by it.

If it weren't for Su Xuan's sword-controlling technique being unparalleled in the world and extremely exquisite, with the twenty-four flying swords constantly flying back, Chi You's offensive would have reached them in the first moment.

Su Xuan ignored Chi You's words and looked at Xiao Li.

"Since you are the backup plans left by the Nine Heavens Profound Lady and the Dragon God, existing to deal with Chi You, then surely you have some certainty that you can restrain him. Otherwise, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady and the Dragon God would not have left you behind!"

Xiao Li listened to Su Xuan's words, was silent for a while, and explained softly: "Pixiu has the ability to manipulate metal. Its ability can restrain the Demon Sword in Chi You's hand, causing the Demon Sword's power to be greatly reduced."

"And as for me..."

Xiao Li stopped halfway, her arm reached out, and a gentle force was released from her hand. This force touched the sword light slashed by Chi You. In an instant, the wandering souls who had died under Chi You's sword and were struggling in the sword light, fueling its power, were immediately freed from the shackles of the sword light and turned into dust. When they passed away, one could see that their expressions were no longer painful.

But... relief!

No need for further explanation; Su Xuan probably already knew Xiao Yu's power.

Her power was the power of purification.

It could purify the wandering souls who died under Chi You's sword and give them relief.

The Demon Sword in Chi You's hand, besides its unusual material, truly gave this Demon Sword supreme power because of the many wandering souls sealed in the sword.

Like a ghost.

Every creature that died under this sword had its soul imprisoned by this sword, and then became a part of its power.

This ability was actually very similar to the ability of the black and white Xuan Xuan Jian in Xuan Xuan Jian's hands back then.

Xuan Xuan Jian could enslave the souls of those who died under his sword and even obtain the other party's memories.

In the past, the killer group Eight Eight Linglong, which was famous in the Qin State, was actually just Xuan Xuan Jian alone.

That was the ability bestowed by the sword in Xuan Xuan Jian's hand.

However, even if all the people Xuan Xuan Jian had killed in his life were counted, it was only a few hundred people. In other words, if he imprisoned every person he killed in the sword, it was only a few hundred souls.

But the Chi You Sword was different.

The wandering souls in his sword numbered a full million.

A million living souls, even if placed in the world of cultivation, were enough to forge a powerful demonic weapon. When they existed in one sword at the same time, they were enough to push the power of this sword to an unprecedentedly powerful realm, not to mention that the sword in Chi You's hand was not a mundane weapon itself, but was forged by the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, this well-deserved extraterrestrial god, from extraterrestrial materials.

It could be said that Chi You was able to stalemate with Su Xuan today mainly by relying on this sword in his hand.

If it weren't for this sword, it wouldn't be a difficult thing for Su Xuan to kill Chi You.

Even though he was the ancient Master of Soldiers, after all, he had experienced two thousand years of time. Under the passage of time, even if he was reborn through possession, his remaining strength was not too strong.

But with this sword, even for Su Xuan, defeating Chi You was not an easy task.

In the end, Su Xuan's strength, while considered top-notch in the martial arts world, and the so-called Heaven-Human level experts were nothing in front of him, was only compared to martial artists.

Chi You was clearly not a martial artist.

When he was a boy, he met an extraterrestrial god, was taught by the god, and was even bestowed with a divine artifact.

If he hadn't gone astray in the end, he would have been a well-deserved person of destiny.

Although Su Xuan's strength was very strong, he hadn't cultivated for a long time—all in all, only about ten years.

Ten years was not a long time for a martial artist, let alone for cultivating immortality.

And the environment of heaven and earth today was completely different from that of the ancient era.

In ancient times, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant. In today's world, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could barely maintain enough for cultivation.

However, man proposes, God disposes.

The Nine Heavens Profound Lady seemed to have left behind the hidden danger of Chi You, but she also left behind corresponding backup plans.

Su Xuan might not be able to do anything about the Demon Sword in Chi You's hand for the time being, but the Nine Heavens Profound Lady might not be the same.

Together with the Dragon God, she had left behind many means to deal with this sword.

Even in a short moment, Su Xuan had some guesses.

That was, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady and the Dragon God seemed to have anticipated that even if Chi You escaped, the most troublesome thing would be this Demon Sword.

Why were they so certain?

Su Xuan couldn't figure it out.

As Xiao Li exerted her power, in an instant, all the sword light slashed by Chi You dissipated, and one wronged soul after another was purified.

Chi You also noticed this scene, and his expression immediately became extremely ugly.

"How could this be?"

He swung the sword in his hand even harder, and countless sword lights burst out, but when these sword lights reached Xiao Li, they were all purified by her power.

One wandering soul after another was relieved.

As the wandering souls were relieved, the momentum of the Chi You Sword also suddenly waned.

The Pixiu under Xiao Li also let out a roar.

Chi You suddenly felt the Chi You Sword in his hand vibrate, and its power was also reduced and suppressed.

While purifying the wandering souls, Xiao Li also said to Su Xuan: "Next, it's up to you!"

Although she and the Pixiu suppressed the sword in Chi You's hand, the one who truly killed Chi You had to be Su Xuan.

In the end, she and the Pixiu were not from this era, or even from this world.

To save this world, one had to rely on the people of this world.

As for why she was so certain that someone in the world could stop him after Chi You appeared?

Only because, two thousand years ago, she left the true power in this world, and that was... the Yellow Stone Heavenly Book!

The Heavenly Book had a spirit and would naturally choose the person of destiny to save the world.

On Su Xuan, she felt the aura of the Heavenly Book. In other words, Su Xuan was the person of destiny!

Su Xuan knew what Xiao Yu meant. He took a deep breath, and the twenty-four flying swords flew back one after another, then condensed into a mass, turning into a large sword. Su Xuan raised his arm and slashed down suddenly.

The large sword also slashed out from the air.

The Demon-Slaying power filled the blade, turning into a dazzling strike!
