Chapter 232

"The Rainbow Feather Garment Dance array has already suppressed the ability of the Swallowing Heavenly Demon Immortal Body to devour essence and blood!"

The most difficult part of the Swallowing Heavenly Demon Immortal Body is that it can devour the flesh and blood of surrounding living beings, almost endlessly recovering, but now it is visible to the naked eye that the demonic qi emitted from An Lushan, like countless poisonous dragons and giant pythons, is suppressed within three zhang of his body by the thin layer of purple clouds transformed by the musical notes played by tens of thousands of Pear Garden disciples.

No matter how the demonic qi rolls, it can't break through that thin layer of purple clouds.

Everyone relatively close to An Lushan only felt that their own essence, blood, and soul were about to leave their bodies. It was not essence, blood, and soul, but even magic power and true qi were sucked clean by a bite of the giant python transformed by the demonic qi, which was clear evidence.

Brother Qian Chen and the others worked hard to persuade Li Guinian and mobilized the Daoist sect's latent forces to set up the Purple Cloud Array, which completely restrained the Swallowing Heavenly Demon Immortal Body, but Brother Qian Chen's face didn't look any better.

Brother Qian Chen stared at the tooth marks on the sword and whispered to Seeing Yan Shu behind him, "The Swallowing Heavenly Demon Immortal Body has both the ability of immortality and imperishability... but immortality and physical strength are actually contradictory. The stronger the physical body, the more powerful force and blood qi are needed."

"Recovery is therefore more difficult... the two are almost impossible to have both. Therefore, there is a distinction between the Buddhist Golden Body and the Demonic Immortal Body."

"But An Lushan's teeth are already not inferior to ordinary divine weapons!"

Seeing Yan Shu's two split sword lights were magnificent, carrying the sharpness of slaying gods and demons, the sword light turned into a long rainbow, stabbing at the eyes of An Lushan's head. He even used the Demon-Subduing Sword Box to infuse infinite sword qi into the two split sword lights.

This compensated for the dispersed power after the sword light split.

As long as the sword light hit, infinite sword qi would erupt, tearing toward the surroundings of that point, so don't look at these as just two split sword lights, they actually erupted into a sword qi storm, each sword capable of destroying mountains and collapsing peaks.

But An Lushan shot two demonic lights from his eyes. The demonic lights combined and mixed into a group, actually firmly absorbing the two split sword lights. Seeing Yan Shu just sneered, actually forcibly taking back the other split sword lights, no longer resisting the supernatural powers and magic weapons bombarding them.

Ning Ning Qingchen's Purple Cloud Sword was shattered, and her mind was injured, but after catching her breath, she didn't care about the blood oozing from her nose and mouth and the slightly swollen pain in her soul, and unfolded the Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Scarf in her palm.

The Cloud Light Scarf turned into a spiritual light of frost and cold ice, freezing the supernatural powers and magic weapons hitting Brother Qian Chen and Seeing Yan Shu from all directions.

An ice wall rose from the ground, freezing dozens of hooks, hairpins, and stone swords in the ice-cold light.

Ning Ning Qingchen's Broad Cold Ice Soul Yuan Pill released wisps of cold air, helping her suppress the injury on her primordial spirit.

And Seeing Yan Shu poured sixteen sword lights into the two sword lights trapped by the demonic light. Every sword light that merged in made the sword light stabbing at An Lushan sharper and more powerful. The nine sword lights merged with the two originally split sword lights, and the power had already increased dozens of times.

The flying sword's sharpness tore through the demonic light shot from An Lushan's eyes in an instant.

The two dragon-like sword lights split and merged, combining the twenty split sword lights into one. This sword light was pushed to the limit... Even a demonic head that had cultivated a natal divine demon could be slain by surprise.

It wasn't just Brother Qian Chen who was making progress; Seeing Yan Shu was also a sword technique genius of the Shaoqing Sword Sect, peerless in the human world.

He had already cultivated the sword technique of sword light splitting to a higher realm, cultivating sword light separation and combination.

The flying sword was the magic treasure most capable of creating miracles. Relying on superb sword technique, Core Formation could slay Yin Spirit, and Yin Spirit could slay Yang Spirit, which was not impossible. Among the ancestors of the Shaoqing Sword Sect, there was even a feat of a Yin Spirit cultivator making a desperate strike, burning their origin, adding all their basic magic power, and destroying a magic treasure-level flying sword to slay a Yin Spirit True Person of the left path.

Hiss!

A large hand stretched out horizontally, gripping the three-zhang sword light driven by the sword pill, and it stopped alive in front of An Lushan's eyes. But even so, the sword light had already penetrated three inches into the eye socket, enough to twist the pair of eyeballs into powder!

"Daoist sword technique..."

An Lushan sighed gloomily, "Sure enough, Master Sima Master Sima Chengzhen's assassination of me before wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing, let alone a killing move."

"He used himself as bait to test my cultivation, and also made me relax my vigilance, thinking the Daoist sect was nothing more than this. Secretly, he called you young Daoist talents to give me this truly fatal stab at the Thousand Autumn Banquet tonight..."

"The Purple Cloud Tune that subdues demons in the Heavenly Court, plus your sword techniques, really gave you a one or two percent chance of killing me!"

Brother Qian Chen saw a cold smile on An Lushan's head, his mouth constantly opening and closing, and two eyeballs were watching them on his tongue. When Seeing Yan Shu's sword light stabbed into An Lushan's eye, the two eyeballs with bloodshot eyes in the eye socket actually shrank into his head, rolling into his mouth along the empty skull.

Seeing Yan Shu's sword only stabbed into a piece of dark red flesh, twisting the flesh behind the eye.

But in an instant, the flesh recovered as before!

Pale yellow meridians danced with two eyeballs, jumping on An Lushan's teeth.

"So it's a headless one..." Brother Qian Chen said coldly. All the guests, officials, envoys, and people in the building saw An Lushan's head and body separated, yet he was still acting freely. His headless body stood behind the head, stretched out a hand, and grabbed the sword light Seeing Yan Shu stabbed out.

That hand had its flesh and blood shaved off by the erupting sword qi, but it revealed dark golden bones.

At this time, all the supernatural powers and magic weapons killing Brother Qian Chen and the others stopped.

Because Brother Qian Chen and the others had measured not to truly take action against the Profound Emperor and others, always only targeting An Lushan, and An Lushan's exposed demonic arts were too shocking, let alone the righteous path, even demonic cultivators like General Geshu Han and Gao Wang Xianzhi had the intention to sit and watch.

Anyway, they didn't have a good relationship with An Lushan, and besides, every demonic cultivator hoped for their peers to die.

And those who knew An Lushan's demonic identity, such as the Profound Emperor and others, were also surprised by An Lushan's high cultivation. The Profound Emperor sat in the main seat, his expression difficult to understand. This kind of imperial suspicion broke out, making him suspicious even of Ji Wen who had taken action, wanting to use Brother Qian Chen's hand to test whether this confidant minister who he couldn't see through was real.

This was Brother Qian Chen's absolute kill. As long as he took action, whether he could kill An Lushan or not, he had already destroyed the Profound Emperor's trust in An Lushan.

Trust is something that is difficult to build and easy to destroy. And the Emperor's trust is always the most fragile.

Yang Yang Taizhen sighed, "Swallowing Heavenly Demon Art, once the immortal body of gods and demons is cultivated, it is two realms. If leading a large army, I'm afraid even a Nascent Soul True Immortal would find it difficult to kill."

"The Daoist sect used the Rainbow Feather Garment Dance to trap the Swallowing Heavenly Demon Immortal Body, cutting off its ability to devour living beings and become immortal. It is indeed a deep calculation, it is the Demon-Subduing Order..."

Brother Qian Chen stared at An Lushan, whose expression was cold and whose eyes were filled with murderous intent. He knew that the most important purpose of this assassination had been achieved. From now on, the Daoist sect didn't need to consider the Profound Emperor's attitude when dealing with An Lushan, and wouldn't be hindered by the imperial court.

At least not today...

No matter if it was An Lushan or himself, there would be no more scruples.

He raised his Emotional Sword flatly, pinched a Dharma seal with his left hand, pointed at An Lushan and said, "Daoist sect, Supreme Louguan Dao true disciple Li Bai, following the Zhang Tian Shi's Dharma decree, like the Supreme One's edict... slay the demonic path's Great Heavenly Demon An Lushan!"

Seeing Yan Shu laughed loudly, and the sword light turned into a sword pill, drilling into the sword box behind him.

"Daoist sect Shaoqing Sword Sect true disciple Seeing Yan Shu, following the Zhang Tian Shi's Dharma decree, the Supreme One's edict... under the Demon-Subduing Order, slay the demon lord An Lushan!"

Only Ning Ning Qingchen, a loose cultivator without any foundation, took action for the sake of friendship, and had no family to report, so she cupped her fists and said, "Loose cultivator Ning Ning Qingchen, following the Daoist sect's Demon-Subduing Order!"

"Demon-Subduing Order!" There was an uproar in the Flower Calyx and Mutual Brilliance Pavilion.

Those Daoist priests from various palace temples shouted angrily, "The Dao and the demon cannot coexist, the struggle between righteousness and evil, never ending!" At this time, all the cultivators who had stopped Brother Qian Chen stopped taking action. Demonic cultivators like Yang Yang Guozhong, Gao Wang Xianzhi, and General Geshu Han, although their faces were ugly, didn't have any intention to take action.

Yang Yang Guozhong was even sneering in his heart, let the fellow Daoists die, not me, and besides, they were fellow Daoists with grudges.
