Chapter 105: The Demon Person
The Yamata no Orochi used its remaining strength to spit out a glob of saliva, which sprayed indiscriminately onto Duan Fengyun's back.
The Yamata no Orochi's snake head looked at the result with satisfaction, then closed its eyes.
As the saliva touched Duan Fengyun's back, his entire body felt as if it had been struck by lightning.
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun were still laughing as they moved forward, but Duan Fengyun stopped.
Duan Fengyun discovered he was slowly losing his sanity; his entire being was about to lose control.
At this moment, the Demonic Blade consciousness in his mind laughed incessantly:
"Haha, thank you to this scoundrel snake.
Its venom has covered the spirituality of the Dragon Vein; now, without the suppression of the Dragon Vein, I can act as I please."
Instantly, the Demonic Blade consciousness seized control of Duan Fengyun's body, and then Duan Fengyun's whole person became filled with murderous intent.
Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, who were chatting and laughing, felt a monstrous murderous aura behind them and immediately turned around to check.
They saw Duan Fengyun, surrounded by black energy with blood-red eyes, staring at the two of them.
Duan Fengyun used his last remaining sanity to shout at the two:
"Feng, Yun, you must leave quickly.
I cannot suppress the demonic thoughts of the Demonic Blade anymore; I am about to fall into the demonic path."
Duan Fengyun said to the Demonic Blade consciousness in his mind:
"If you dare to harm them, once I recover my senses, I will definitely find a way to kick you out of my mind.
If there is no way, I will follow the example of my master, the Evil God, and cripple my own arms and martial arts."
After speaking, Duan Fengyun sank completely, and the Demonic Blade consciousness recalled the host's words.
It had finally found a host, so it could not let the host cripple his own martial arts, so it tacitly agreed to the host's request and did not attack the two of them.
Bu Jingyun grabbed Nie Feng, who was preparing to step forward, and said:
"Junior Brother Feng, let's go quickly.
Junior Brother Duan has fallen into the demonic path; let us leave here first and think of a way to save Junior Brother Duan back to the Righteous Path."
Under Bu Jingyun's earnest persuasion, Nie Feng finally agreed to go back first to think of a solution.
The two looked at Duan Fengyun, who was filled with monstrous Demon Energy behind them, and then quickly walked out of the cave.
(To distinguish the protagonist possessed by the Demonic Blade consciousness from the normal protagonist, the protagonist possessed by the Demonic Blade consciousness shall be called Demon Person Duan Fengyun.)
Demon Person Duan Fengyun looked at the Yamata no Orochi that had saved him and allowed him to escape, sneered, and then took the Jue Sword and gestured with it in the cave.
Suddenly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the entire cave was filled with a bloody stench.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun touched his face, felt the mask on his face, and tore it off directly, revealing his original appearance.
The terrifying bloody stench and Demon Energy in the cave made the living creatures outside the cave jump up and down, as if they had been stimulated by something.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun, filled with monstrous Demon Energy, walked out of the cave and, looking at the jumping living creatures, used a single Wind God Leg to quiet them down.
The monstrous Demon Energy caused the sky above the entire Forbidden Land to turn pitch black, and the guards inside the Tianhuang Palace hurried toward the Forbidden Land upon seeing this.
At this time, the Emperor, who was returning to the Tianhuang Palace, saw the black sky at the Forbidden Land and guessed that something major must have happened, so he immediately ordered his guards to speed up; he had to return immediately.
The entire palace guard surrounded Duan Fengyun.
Filled with monstrous Demon Energy and the smell of blood, Demon Person Duan Fengyun stared at the guards before him with eyes devoid of any human nature.
He was very excited; having been imprisoned for so long, he could finally go on a killing spree.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun held the Jue Sword and pointed it directly at the guards, provoking them:
"You lot! Come at me together, let me have a good slaughter!"
How could the guards, who prided themselves on the samurai spirit, endure such humiliation? A large group of them brandished their samurai swords and charged at Demon Person Duan Fengyun.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun picked up the Jue Sword and swung it; the Demon Energy surged for dozens of miles, and all the guards who stepped forward were knocked to the ground.
After falling to the ground, the guards shattered into pieces like porcelain.
The Demonic Blade currently used by Demon Person Duan Fengyun was the blade at its greatest power; everyone invaded by the Demonic Blade's Demon Energy would turn into powder.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun carried the Jue Sword, its tip dragging along the ground, leaving a trail of sparks.
He dragged the Jue Sword, laughing wildly all the way from the Forbidden Land toward the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, the Emperor, who had been rushing back, finally arrived.
He looked at Duan Fengyun, who was filled with monstrous Demon Energy, and shouted angrily:
"Who are you? How dare you act recklessly in my Imperial Palace; be careful, or I will exterminate your entire clan."
Duan Fengyun raised his head and looked at the Emperor with a wicked charm.
The Emperor finally saw Duan Fengyun's face clearly; because he had seen the portraits of several prominent figures in the Central Plains Martial Arts, he recognized who this person was.
He shouted angrily:
"Duan Fengyun, you have such audacity!
To dare to run to Dongying to kill my people; I will not let you leave Dongying."
Demon Person Duan Fengyun scoffed at the Emperor's threats; he was not the naive fool that his host was, he would not argue with the Emperor, he would only make the Emperor pay for his words.
The furious Emperor waved his hand, and the six guards beside him stepped forward to confront Duan Fengyun.
These six guards were also people who had left behind illustrious reputations in the Dongying martial arts world back then, but later, the six of them vanished from the jianghu overnight.
It turned out that the six of them had been bought by the Emperor with heavy gold, becoming the Emperor's most trusted bodyguards to protect his safety.
During their time guarding the Emperor, the six of them practiced a ninjutsu called Dark Night Elf together.
This set of ninjutsu allowed the six of them to exert their greatest abilities, and then, like elves in the dark night, kill invisibly.
The six of them disappeared directly before Duan Fengyun's eyes, waiting for an opportunity to act in the darkness.
But such behavior was like children playing house in front of Demon Person Duan Fengyun.
Under the gaze of Demon Person Duan Fengyun's Demon Eye, the six men's actions were already exposed, and Demon Person Duan Fengyun decided to play with them properly.
He pretended not to see the six people's movements, acting like a headless fly as he scurried about.
The six people thought their opportunity had arrived and struck directly at the vital points of Demon Person Duan Fengyun.
When they aimed straight for the face of Duan Fengyun, Demon Person Duan Fengyun looked at them with an evil grin.
The six people thought to themselves:
"Oh no, we've been tricked."
Demon Person Duan Fengyun unleashed the seventh form of the Demon Blade—Demon Treads the Seven Stars; Duan Fengyun was seen leaping into the air, his consecutive flying kicks sealing seven major acupuncture points on each of the six people.
"Puff, puff, puff!"
All six people spat out blood in mid-air; Demon Person Duan Fengyun had just dealt them heavy injuries.
"Is this all the strength you have?
Truly pathetic!"
Demon Person Duan Fengyun mocked.
Since they were so pathetic, these six people could now be sent away.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun charged forward with his sword, and in the blink of an eye, the six people fell to the ground one after another, then turned into the dust of history.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun turned his head to look at Emperor and grinned evilly:
"It's your turn!"
Looking at the terrifying state of the six corpses and then at the Demon Person Duan Fengyun, whose Demon Energy was surging to the heavens, Emperor knew he was by no means his match.
After shouting for his guards, Emperor took to his heels and fled.
Demon Person Duan Fengyun did not pursue; he wanted to see what other trump cards Emperor might have.
