Chapter 649: Battle

"Kill!" A sharp shout rang out, and the illusory purple figures brandished the weapons in their hands, charging toward Lingyun all at once.

"Purifying World Fire Domain!" Lingyun stomped his right foot heavily against the ground, and the power of his Double Domain instantly enveloped the entire great hall.

The purple figures within the great hall all flickered, clearly affected by the Domain.

However, the influence of the Domain was only a small part and could not hinder the purple figures' attacks on Lingyun.

"Space-Time Clones!" Lingyun plunged his two swords into the ground, and the power of space-time instantly spread from his body; the shadows beneath his feet twisted suddenly and then rapidly expanded.

Black figures stood up one by one from the shadows; upon closer inspection, those people were all Lingyun!

"Original, did you call us out just to fight these neither-human-nor-ghost guys?" one of the clones said with a helpless expression after emerging, looking at the dense crowd of purple figures in front of him.

"That's right, we want to protest. Every time you, the Original, call us out, it's to have us chew on some tough bones!" another clone also looked as if he were being exploited for his labor.

"Yes, yes, it used to be just one or two, but now you've called us all out. What kind of situation is this? We're going to charge labor fees!"

Looking at this pile of noisy clones, Lingyun suddenly felt a bit suspicious—was this technique he learned from Tokisaki Kurumi a bit off?

"Alright, stop talking so much, the enemy has already reached you!" Lingyun rolled his eyes and said.

"Kill—" A purple figure wielding a large axe had already charged in front of one of Lingyun's clones, and the large axe in his hand swung down toward his head.

Looking at the large axe cleaving toward his forehead, the clone sneered: "I'm in the middle of haggling with the Original, what are you butting in for!"

The clone gripped his hands, and massive power gathered in them; behind him, a huge blue phantom appeared. The clone threw a punch, hitting the purple figure squarely in the chest.

"God's Iron Fist!"

"Boom—"

The chest of the purple phantom was instantly blown open by the terrifying iron fist, and the power of destruction spread continuously along the hole. In just a few breaths' time, the purple figure was completely destroyed. The large axe in his hand also clattered to the ground, the Demon Qi on it having completely vanished.

"Sorry everyone, I'll take this first blood!" the clone controlling the Giant God Soldier clapped his hands and said indifferently.

"Zzz—"

"Thunder Summoning Bullet!"

Electric light flashed, and two golden Thunder Bullets appeared in the hands of a clone wreathed in electricity, blasting a purple figure into ashes.

"This is not a stage for you alone!"

"God's Cannon!"

Golden firelight pierced through the entire battlefield, and the purple figures along the way, after being pierced by the Light Cannon, let out wails one after another and were completely burned into nothingness within the golden flames.

"That's right, it's rare to be able to come out and move the body, we can't let this opportunity pass!"

Three clones struck in succession, and the other clones could no longer sit still. It was a rare chance to show off, and they couldn't let those three take all the glory!

"We're going in too!"

The several clones who had been complaining to Lingyun earlier all struck at once, and over a dozen different attacks bombarded the direction of the purple figures, instantly blasting the few purple figures who couldn't dodge in time into fragments.

Lingyun pulled out the two holy swords he had stuck into the ground and aimed them at the most powerful one among the purple figures.

The purple figure pointed at by Lingyun's sword also slowly raised the long sword in his hand; the sword in his hand was the true sword of the God of Light.

"Tsk, I didn't expect your sword to be eroded by Demon Qi. That's fine, let me see just how much of your ability this sword of yours has inherited!"

The two of them stomped on the ground almost simultaneously, their figures turning into afterimages as they rushed toward each other at high speed.

"Clang—" Sparks flew, and the Light Holy Sword and the God of Light's sword collided heavily, a massive shockwave spreading outward and blowing away many of the surrounding purple figures.

The purple figure and Lingyun locked eyes, lethal killing intent flickering in their gazes.

"Hum—"

Lingyun flipped his hand, and the Fire Holy Sword traced a tricky angle, stabbing toward the purple figure's chest.

However, the purple figure did not dodge or evade, taking Lingyun's sword directly with his own chest. Lingyun's expression remained unchanged as Red Lotus Karmic Fire suddenly ignited on the blade, burning a hole directly into the purple figure.

The purple figure let out a miserable shriek, his figure retreating repeatedly. Demon Qi surged on his body, rapidly filling the gap. The Demon Qi and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire clashed, emitting violent explosions.

"Trying to trick my attack by using your advantage of having no fatal points? You're still too green!" Lingyun sneered and said.

"Roar—"

The purple figure let out a roar, Demon Qi overflowing from the great sword in his hand as he frantically swept Sword Qi toward Lingyun.

"Great Light Sword Art? I didn't expect this sword technique to exist on the sword. If you really knew how to execute this sword technique, it would surely be upright and magnificent. Unlike you, who is just hacking and slashing wildly."

"Red Sun Dragon Sword!"

Lingyun waved his left hand, and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire within the Purifying World Fire Domain surged, instantly transforming into a giant dragon that pounced toward the sky-filling Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi bombarded the fire dragon, only able to splash sparks, but unable to cause any impact on the fire dragon.

"Wooo—"

Several purple figures who were entangled with Lingyun's clones suddenly let out strange cries, and as their figures flickered, they actually blocked the fire dragon's path. Although these purple figures were instantly shattered by the fire dragon, they also wore down the vast majority of the fire dragon's power.

Facing the greatly weakened fire dragon, the purple figure swung the God of Light's sword in his hand, cleaving the fire dragon in two.

"You, who exactly are you?" A low roar issued from the mouth of the purple figure.

"Who am I? I am the one who will take your life!" Lingyun crossed his two swords, his figure approaching the purple figure like a phantom, his hands brandishing countless sword lights that enveloped the purple figure.

"Damn it, damn it!"

The purple figure let out bursts of roars, gripping the God of Light's sword and frantically using the Great Light Sword Art, trying to block Lingyun's attacks.

However, not to mention how much Lingyun knew about the God of Light's Great Light Sword Art, the mere fact that the opponent could only rigidly use the Great Light Sword Art was enough to push him into an abyss of no return.

The two fought for dozens of rounds, and multiple wounds appeared on the purple figure's body. His chest had been pierced by the two holy swords many times, and even his head had been cut off by Lingyun once. If his body hadn't been condensed from Demon Qi, these injuries would have long since been enough to kill him.

"Give up your pointless struggle, you have already lost!" Lingyun knocked the purple figure back with a sword strike and said coldly.

In the great hall, the other purple figures had completely disappeared, clearly all slaughtered by Lingyun's clones; in the entire great hall, only he remained.

"Impossible!" Responding to Lingyun was a low roar.

Immediately, the Demon Qi on the purple figure surged, actually crossing the Heavenly Domain Barrier in an instant and stepping into a higher realm.

"From now on, this is when we decide the winner!"

Perhaps because he had surpassed the Heavenly Domain, there was a bit more agility in the purple figure's tone. He pointed the long sword in his hand at Lingyun and said coldly.
