Chapter 604

Qian Jueshan's sword blade violently collided with the opponent's demonic energy!

Boom!

A loud boom sounded.

This mass of demonic energy continually assaulted Qian Jueshan.

Qian Jueshan swung his sword to block, then seized the opportunity and slashed at that mass of demonic energy with a single strike!

With a "bang," that mass of demonic energy was scattered, then quickly regrouped, instantly transforming into a humanoid figure.

"Qian, Jue, Shan." The young man whose whole body emanated demonic energy slightly lifted his eyes, the corner of his mouth bearing a faint smile.

This person is none other than the current Demon Emperor, Quan Wu.

Quan Wu wore a purple robe, his features soft and yin, his complexion fair, his purple eyes glimmering eerily as he stared at Qian Jueshan and smiled.

One person and one demon fought together.

Their strength was evenly matched!

But as time passed, Quan Wu fell to the disadvantage.

Quan Wu quickly turned into a mass of demonic energy and headed toward the direction of the demon and monster armies' camp!

Seeing this, Qian Jueshan hesitated slightly, for he felt Quan Wu was luring him away.

He did not pursue Quan Wu but remained on the battlefield; seeing the demon soldiers charging at Heaven-Viewing Cliff's defensive barrier, he raised his sword and struck down!

Boom—

A burst of explosion rang out, and below, tens of thousands of soldiers were all overturned to the ground, with many already dead from it!

The demons' faces below suddenly changed, and they instantly fell into panic.

Seeing this, Qian Jueshan felt a hint of doubt rise in his heart; the demon army below seemed to have no commander.

And just then—

The demon army below scattered like ants in all directions.

Qian Jueshan suddenly sensed something wrong; as he tried to withdraw, the void around him was suddenly torn apart.

Several figures simultaneously lunged at him.

Qian Jueshan's expression slightly changed; he immediately raised his sword to meet them.

Clang clang clang—

"Qian Jueshan, today is your day of death!" said Xu Yanzhi, clad in a white robe, his eyes gloomy.

Those surrounding Qian Jueshan were precisely Xu Yanzhi, the Demon Emperor Xie Buxi, and a mysterious demon.

All three possessed cultivation at the peak of the late Great Perfection Realm!

Meanwhile, the ten Venerables far off, who were using spiritual power to maintain the defensive barrier, saw this scene, their pupils constricting, "Not good!"

"You hold the line, I'm going!" Responding Heaven Venerable immediately pierced the defensive barrier and rushed toward Qian Jueshan at top speed.

But upon reaching halfway, he was suddenly blocked by a formidable barrier; looking closely, a black-gold Buddhist light seal rose from the ground below like a beam of light, locking the central position.

They had long laid a trap, just to kill Qian Jueshan!

"Buddhist Bell Cover, Blood Chain Lock!"

A hoarse, aged voice sounded, and lo, in the distant midair appeared the Former Buddha Venerable!

In an instant—

Below, hundreds of thousands of demons raised their already-slit wrists; their blood energy was sucked into the Buddhist Bell Cover, instantly turning into bloody chains that surged toward Qian Jueshan.

Extremely fast, with astonishing power!

Qian Jueshan, fighting three opponents of the same realm single-handedly, already felt strained; now the countless blood-red chains locked onto him, putting him at a disadvantage.

"Venerable!" Responding Heaven Venerable's expression tightened; he immediately swung his sword to attack the Buddhist Bell Cover.

But soon, several figures instantly locked onto him and came to surround him!

Meanwhile, Ancestral Light Venerable and the others had already left the tent, observing the battle from nearby; seeing this, they were greatly shocked.

"We can't wait any longer! Quick, go support!" Ancestral Light Venerable urgently ordered.

Upon hearing this, aside from the nine Venerables maintaining the defensive barrier's operation and Ancestral Light Venerable himself, the remaining Venerables all mobilized.

Ancestral Light Venerable's face grew grave; he immediately blew the assembly whistle, ordering the leaders of all major forces to immediately gather all human cultivators at Heaven-Viewing Cliff!

And Ying Wuji, who had originally been healing his wounds in the tent under Cang Cong Huan's treatment, suddenly heard the urgent whistle; his heart skipped a beat for no reason, and a strong sense of unease welled up.

He hurriedly burst out of the tent, came to the edge of Heaven-Viewing Cliff, and looked afar; he saw within the black-gold Buddhist Bell Cover countless blood-red chains incessantly attacking his own master.

Whenever a blood-red chain pierced his master's body, his complexion paled a fraction.

Meanwhile, Xu Yanzhi and the other two continually assaulted his master.

His master's white robes had been blotched with large patches of blood.

"Master—"

Seeing this, Ying Wuji couldn't help but recall the scene from his past life where his master died before his eyes; the images faintly overlapped, causing him instant heartache.

The pain pierced his heart, and blood welled from the corner of the youth's mouth.

Without waiting for Ancestral Light Venerable's order, he immediately rushed toward his master at top speed.

The black-clad youth gripped the Heaven's Fate Sword and, exerting all his strength, swung to slash at the Buddhist Bell Cover!

Bang!

A tremendous boom, yet it could only cause the Buddhist Bell Cover to tremble slightly.

Unable to break through!

"Master!"

The youth's eyes turned red; he relentlessly hacked at the Buddhist Bell Cover with his sword!

Qian Jueshan sensed his presence, but his attention quickly returned to dealing with Xu Yanzhi and the other two.

All the Immortal Sovereigns joined forces, trying to break open this Buddha Bell Shield!

Boom—boom—boom—

But it still wouldn't break!

Xu Yanzhi gripped his longsword, thrusting it into Qianjue Shan's shoulder and piercing through; his handsome face showed contempt as he coldly laughed and said, "Qianjue Shan, you are so foolish and also too self-righteous! According to my understanding of you, you think you are strong, so you have the duty to stand before everyone; it was like that in the Realm Abyss before, and it's still like that now! You have never changed, so it's not in vain that I spent time setting a trap, waiting for you to jump in!"

Scarlet blood foam trickled from Qianjue Shan's mouth corner; he endured the intense pain, fiercely swung his sword to drive back Xu Yanzhi, his voice hoarse from the wound yet carrying a bone‑chilling chill: "Xu Yanzhi, you too have never changed…… still wearing that sinister, deceitful face!"

Before his words even fell, a fierce killing intent surged from behind!

Qianjue Shan no longer had time to fully dodge.

A longsword tempered with a gloomy light fiercely pierced his abdomen!

The intense pain made Qianjue Shan's brows and eyes suddenly tighten, yet he did not fall.

A mighty, vast power erupted violently from within him, sweeping outward, actually shaking the sneak‑attacking Demon Emperor Xie Bu xi until his qi and blood surged, and he was sent flying backward in a sorry state!

"Pfft—" Qianjue Shan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his stature swaying on the verge of collapse.

He forcibly supported his shattered body, rushing to meet the successive fierce attacks of Xu Yanzhi, Xie Bu xi, and the others.

The battle grew ever more brutal.

Qianjue Shan suddenly thought of something, a flash of resolve crossing his eyes.

The next moment, his qi and blood surged violently throughout his body, a bleak and solemn aura spreading out.

He actually began burning his own essence and blood, exchanging it for that instant's ultimate power!

He raised his sword and struck; in an instant, the terrifying sword‑blade power instantly sent Xu Yanzhi and the two others flying, and as he moved, he was already before Xu Yanzhi.

He gripped the sword with both hands, intending to pierce Xu Yanzhi's heart!

Clang—

At the critical moment, Xu Yanzhi raised his sword to block, but he too vomited fresh blood from the wound he had just suffered.

Qianjue Shan burned his essence and blood without reservation; that ultimate power instantly shattered Xu Yanzhi's longsword, with a 'pfft' sound, the sword pierced Xu Yanzhi's chest!

Xu Yanzhi gasped in pain, a large amount of fresh blood spurting from his mouth, 'Ah……'

"You're mad!" Xu Yanzhi's eyes widened in shock, for he sensed that Qianjue Shan intended to self‑detonate!

Qianjue Shan's hairpin shattered, his silver hair flying wildly in the wind, his pallid handsome face bearing a resolute expression, his blood‑stained lips slightly parting:

"If killing you can protect my lord's disciple…"

"Then I am willing to perish together with you!"
