Chapter 247: Nine Sons Mother Demon God Sword-Slaying Sword Technique!

Inside the fragment of the blessed land.

Only Ye Guyue's beautiful eyes looked cold as she surveyed the black mountain and sea of blood directly ahead, finally making her decision: "Yun Zhiqiu, come with me to break the formation."

Although Duobao Tongzi chose to surrender and revealed little, Lu Yang had at least demonstrated several layers of the formation's changes; Ye Guyue saw them all and calculated she had the means to break it, so her face quickly returned to calm as she directly rode a beam of escape light into the formation!

"Good!"

Seeing this, Lu Yang immediately smiled, shook his banner, and summoned the sea of blood to press down, only to see Ye Guyue directly pluck a treasure pearl from her personal dress.

【5】 "Go!"

"Go!"

Ye Guyiu casually tossed it; the pearl fell into the sea of blood and instantly burst forth with brilliant light, swallowing like a whale and a sea, actually engulfing all the blood waves!

And as the sea of blood continued to surge in, the originally clear and Bai Xi treasure pearl gradually turned blood-red, while its spiritual energy also became increasingly violent.

Seeing this, Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, immediately halted the sea of blood's pressing motion, and already understood Ye Guyue's method: this pearl could absorb external energy; she was waiting for it to gather enough of the sea of blood, then cast a spell to explode it, using her own method against her, thus shattering the formation in one blow!

As for the 【Soul-Stealing Smoke】 in the sea of blood, it was even less worth mentioning.

Ye Guyue only needed to hold her sword heart steady; no matter what soul-shaking methods you used, she could easily cut them open with sword intent, unable to affect her at all.

"Good technique."

Lu Yang's expression remained indifferent; he then removed the centipede-beetle bag from his waist, released hundreds of millions of Qi-Eating Insects, and merged them all into the sea of blood, surging toward Ye Guyue.

Seeing this, Ye Guyue still met them with the pearl.

However, this time, after the pearl absorbed the sea of blood, cracks began to appear on its surface; looking closely, countless insects could clearly be seen densely covering it!

"Qi-Eating Insects!"

Ye Guyue's beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she calculated the origin of the insects; Lu Yang had mixed these demonic insects into the sea of blood, greatly reducing the pearl's upper limit for absorbing the sea of blood.

For every blood wave absorbed, the pearl had to endure another bite from the Qi-Eating Insects; the result was that before the pearl could accumulate its power to the limit, it would be damaged by the Qi-Eating Insects, but if exploded prematurely, the power would be insufficient to shatter the formation, resulting only in a drop in the bucket and futile effort.

And what was even more troublesome was...

"Swish—!"

The next second, a silent, colorless, shadowless, and formless sword light quietly landed on Ye Guyue's back, its unstoppable blade about to kill her!

【Formless Sword】!

This magic sword, specifically used for sneak attacks, was extremely handy for Lu Yang; naturally, he wouldn't keep it back now, having already hidden it within the sea of blood, waiting for the right moment!

In an instant, only the explosive sound of metal clashing against metal was heard, and divine skill splendor burst forth; actually, a magic sword had blocked it at the critical moment.

Lu Yang looked out and saw that the sword light of that magic sword was extremely sinister, lacking any aura of the righteous path; instead, it reflected a gorgeous, naked beauty, whose laughter sounded like silver bells; the laughter falling upon the 【Formless Sword】 even made Lu Yang feel his divine sense vaguely fluctuating.

"This thing... a demon corpse? A banner spirit?"

Lu Yang's expression was strange; he withdrew the 【Formless Sword】, then smiled and said: "I didn't expect the honorable Yushu Jiange, the leader of the righteous path, to also use the methods of my Holy Sect?"

"Jiangbei Demon, how do you know our Yushu Jiange's wonderful arts?"

Ye Guyue said coldly: "My sword technique is formed from the qi of the 【Divine Weapon Realm】, ranked second grade; although the demonic qi is cold and fierce, it is actually the righteous path of controlling demons!"

Almost simultaneously, Lu Yang's heart's warning sign surged greatly.

The next second, the 【Hundred-Barrier Subduing Perilous Black Robe】 burst forth with brilliant light, and at the same time, seven sword blades actually pierced out from the void, thrusting directly at his vital points!

"Crack!"

The protective brilliant light did not last long before it exploded and shattered; however, Lu Yang had already vanished from the spot, landing far away and looking over with interest.

Yet, behind each of the seven sword blades that had just assassinated him, there was actually a naked beauty, smiling at the corners of her mouth; strangely, her form was illusory and hard to grasp, disappearing from the spot again in the blink of an eye, ignoring the formation Lu Yang had set up, moving and passing through without any obstruction!

"【Nine Sons Mother Demon God Sword-Slaying Sword Technique】!"

Ye Guyue formed the sword seal, and immediately eight magic swords appeared around her; in the blink of an eye, they once again shuttled toward Lu Yang's direction to slash and kill.

"The sword technique is good, but unfortunately... it is not yet perfect?"

Lu Yang laughed loudly; the Ultimate Heaven Instrument in his brow rotated, and under the illumination of the magic eye, he quickly saw the true nature of the magic swords: all eight demonic swords were split sub-swords.

There was still a slight flaw in the shifting movement.

"Nine is the extreme number; you should have nine swords. After the nine sub-swords merge, they become the mother sword; at that time, your magic sword will truly be formidable."

"Why hasn't it been forged? Oh right, I destroyed one before."

Lu Yang recalled the strange escape method Ye Guyue used when facing his combined attack with Chui Ying, and immediately revealed an expression of realization.

On the other side, Ye Guyue's expression was grave; she had already used all her strength to conceal the cause and effect, avoiding Lu Yang calculating her true nature, yet the roots of the 【Nine Sons Mother Demon God Sword-Slaying Sword】 were still calculated by Lu Yang; this strange divination power was obviously unreasonable; did this person also possess a treasure of heavenly secrets?

'The situation is not good...'

A trace of gloom rose in Ye Guyue's heart; as Lu Yang said, her 【Nine Sons Mother Demon God Sword-Slaying Sword】 indeed lacked one sword-controlling demon god at this moment.

Lacking one demon god, the sword formation could not be formed.

If this continued...

'... I will lose?'

With this thought, Ye Guyue immediately pressed her lips together, unwilling to admit it in her heart, yet Lu Yang's strength had indeed exceeded her expectations.

'Unless I can replenish the last demon god.'

Thinking of this, Ye Guyue looked again in the direction of Duobao Tongzi; her original plan was to use this person to sacrifice to the sword, making up for the defect in her own sword technique.

So before, she had thought of letting Duobao Tongzi go to his death, but Duobao Tongzi surrendered too quickly, leaving her no chance; moreover, now that she was battling Lu Yang, she could not spare any extra strength to kill Duobao Tongzi; therefore, after thinking it over, the only one available at present was probably...

Ye Guyue's gaze shifted, looking at Yun Zhiqiu beside her.

The indifference in her beautiful eyes made Yun Zhiqiu shiver, and he said in a low voice: "... Junior Uncle?"

"Zhiqiu, this is also your fate."

"Ah?"

Before Yun Zhiqiu could react, a sword light directly pierced through his body, beheaded him, and completely devoured his flesh, blood, and magic power.

A soul, full of shock, rose from the spot.

"Zhiqiu, you have established great merit this time; after your reincarnation, come find me, and I will return you a chance." Ye Guyue said in an indifferent tone, appearing very calm.

For the Yushu Jiange, death is not the end.

Rebirth is normally the norm.

Yet the next moment, Yun Zhiqiu's face twisted in horror—ordinary rebirth would be bearable, but he was still in a state of depleted destiny and merit!

If he reborn like this, he'd spend at least three or five lifetimes as a pig or dog before becoming human again; by then, his five-lifetime Foundation Establishment lifespan would long be worn away. And he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment—even if he somehow survived, he'd never break through the mystery of the womb; what difference would it make if his cultivation was destroyed?

Yet he could no longer speak.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Zhiqiu's soul, filled with unyielding resentment, plunged into the cycle of rebirth; immediately after, the ninth Heavenly Demon was summoned forth by Ye Guyue.

"Demon, you took my younger brother's life—today you shall perish!"

Ye Guyue's gaze blazed like torchlight; the nine Heavenly Demons each wielded swords, instantly merging as one, while two innate spiritual abilities fortified them, amplifying their power further.

【Warrior Lord】!

【Ji Jinhui】!

"What a sharp sword," Lu Yang exclaimed in awe.

In an instant, a brilliant sword light blazed like flame, vaporizing the sea of blood wherever it passed; the piercing sword intent made Lu Yang's third eye throb with pain.

Yet the next moment, he smiled.

"But my sword is no less sharp!"

As the words left his lips, Lu Yang had already unleashed the A Ni Sword from his sleeve—it brimmed with bloodlight, having been primed for long, and at this moment its blade-song howled forth!

Within the fragments of the Blessed Land, a crimson rainbow surged upward.

The Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Demons' Execution Immortal Sword followed closely behind, striking blade after blade straight at him!

For a moment, a continuous series of explosions rent the heavens; colossal mushroom clouds intertwined with flying fire and streaming lightning, nearly tearing apart the entire Blessed Land fragment!

"Boom!"

This collision utterly shattered the Blood Sea Covering Heaven Great Array; Ye Guyue stared in shock as her Nine Sons Mother Heavenly Demons' Execution Immortal Sword let out a mournful cry, then, ignoring her commands entirely, dissolved into light and flew back into her sleeve—now unusable no matter how hard she tried.
