Volume 13: Sword Immortal Chapter 14: Swordsmen Crossing the River
Dilemma?
Why is there a dilemma for sword cultivators?
Since there is a beast tide retreating and a demon army advancing, there is only one choice left for the sword cultivator.
Enter!
Go in again and again!
What if there are countless demon armies?
Break it with brute force, break it with the sword!
Hiding and ambushing is a strategy and a choice, but it does not mean that Lu Qingshan only dares to do this.
Life and death battles are the soul of a swordsman.
In fact, this is also Lu Qingshan’s best chance to break through.
In order to attract the beast tide, Luo Jia went deep into the burial ground and has not left this area yet.
If the beast tide, Lu Qingshan and the demon army are regarded as a straight line, then Luo Jia's current position is between Lu Qingshan and the beast tide, behind him.
In other words, among the demon cultivators blocking the road ahead, there is no such person as Luo Jia.
…
Lu Qingshan set off directly and headed straight for the outskirts of the burial ground.
At this moment, demonic shadows flashed outside the burial ground, and countless masters emerged.
Although they knew there was only one enemy, every demon cultivator still looked solemn and extremely serious. They released their Source Gods and continuously scanned the surrounding areas, fearing that they would miss anything.
The demons have formed an absolute dragnet with their numbers, blocking all escape routes.
Luo Jia would rather sacrifice tens of millions of demons to kill Lu Qingshan. If they failed to stop Lu Qingshan and let Lu Qingshan escape, how would they explain to Luo Hou?
How can we call ourselves the invincible war clan?
All the demon cultivators were filled with murderous intent at this moment.
No matter what the result is this time, they are not actually winners.
Almost all the best of the younger generation were killed, and in order to force the Burning Moon Domain Demon Lord to show up, a large area of the land was devastated.
This made them very dissatisfied , unwilling, and extremely angry.
"If he dares to show up, I will destroy him both physically and spiritually!" said an old demon cultivator indifferently.
The genius of his lineage died at the hands of Lu Qingshan. He then sent a great cultivator to follow Luo Jia into the burial ground and hunt down Lu Qingshan, but was killed by Lu Qingshan in return. The hatred between him and Lu Qingshan was unprecedented.
His title is Xigu, and he possesses the combat power of a high-level demon lord, so he is determined to kill the enemy.
At this time, Lu Qingshan had already left the burial site.
He stopped for a moment and did not move forward.
How could Lu Qingshan not know that the road ahead had turned into a dangerous place filled with dangers and disasters prepared for him?
He stood in place, stretched out his hand and clenched it slightly in the air. A black sword was silently taken out from the void and held by him.
If this had happened in his previous life, it would definitely be a skill that could be selected into the ranking of sword cultivators' favorite sword skills... At this tense moment, this inappropriate thought popped up in Lu Qingshan's mind.
After all, which player can resist such a cool skill as Void Sword?
You don’t have to be strong, but you must be handsome.
…
With the demon-suppressing weapon in his hand, Lu Qingshan became more and more eager to fight.
He held the sword in his right hand and slashed forward with all his might.
Buzz!
Demonic energy surged out from the Demon Suppression like a tornado, and then formed into a thick sword energy that rushed straight into the sky.
It was like a black galaxy, slashing forward and towards the demon cultivator who was blocking the way.
The sword energy and demonic energy are like the sea, vast and boundless, it is truly unbelievable.
As the sword energy moved forward, it continued to expand and become more powerful. The scene was magnificent, awe-inspiring, and heart-pounding.
"not good!"
The demon cultivators who were blocking the road noticed this sword energy and became extremely frightened.
They could feel the power of this sword and could not confront it head-on, otherwise they would be destroyed - Lu Qingshan's sword reversed the flow of demonic energy that had been accumulated in the Demon Suppression for many years, and its power reached its peak.
The demon cultivator fled quickly, rushed to both sides and dodged quickly.
The huge sword energy fell in the center, and with a loud bang, one could clearly see a huge black abyss taking shape.
Dozens of eighth-grade demon cultivators who were unable to dodge in time were directly submerged in the black abyss, and then annihilated without any surprise.
After the Black Abyss, piece after piece of cracked bones fell from the sky like withered petals, breaking into pieces as they fell.
These are the remains of those eighth-grade demon cultivators who died. Their divine and demonic bodies, which they were so proud of, were vulnerable to this sword energy and exploded directly into blood mist, with only their bones left.
"He's shown up!" Xigu Demon Lord shouted, his eyes were extremely sinister, his face was ashen, and murderous intent burst out.
"Notify everyone immediately that this beast has appeared in our direction. Come and kill him quickly. Do not let the tiger go back to the mountain."
He had already hated this high-ranking demon lord from the Burning Moon Region.
After giving the order, Demon Lord Xigu led everyone and took the first step.
Various divine lights were flying, and groups of symbols were lighting up.
Hundreds and nearly a thousand demon cultivators attacked together, with dense runes and battle methods, and endless magical weapons, all aimed in one direction - the direction where the sword energy came from.
The runes and tactics were so dense that they filled the entire sky. It was so vast and almost invincible.
Lu Qingshan looked slightly solemn.
The combined strength of so many masters, with powerful force concentrated on him, makes it difficult to defeat him head-on.
This is why, despite Chu Mushen’s half-ancestor combat power, who is almost invincible in the abyss, he can only choose to stay in Tianhe City, and cannot charge into the abyss like Xia Zu did to quell the demonic chaos.
Unless one is in the ancestral realm with combat power that is tens or hundreds of times as powerful as the others, once one becomes the target of public criticism, even a half-ancestor will face the dilemma of being unable to fight four hands with two fists.
Lu Qingshan understood that such a combined attack would be difficult to withstand even for a physical cultivator, let alone a sword cultivator.
He unfolded his sword domain and performed the secret of returning to the origin. His body instantly changed position, as if traveling through time and space, and he crossed the air and avoided the attack.
The air is overflowing!
A huge explosion occurred where he was just now, and the void seemed to be shattered. All kinds of aftermath and runes were splashed everywhere, and the scene was horrifying.
After dodging this attack, Lu Qingshan rushed forward with the sword domain.
His entire body was enveloped in purple-gold light, and thousands of densely packed sword energies emerged in the space around him.
The sword energy intertwined and the clanging sounds were endless.
“What is that...?!” The aftermath dissipated, no longer blocking his sight. Seeing Lu Qingshan rushing forward, Demon Lord Xigu’s pupils suddenly dilated in disbelief.
Because the person in front of him was not the high-ranking demon lord from the Burning Moon Region as he had expected... but a person, a real person!
It’s a human cultivator!
How come a human cultivator would appear here?
Could it be that the one who had previously killed the elite young generation of the Black Armor Region was this human cultivator in front of him? !
No time to think about it.
Because Lu Qingshan has already activated the sword energy in the sword domain and launched an offensive.
The sword energy shot out like divine light and fell towards the demon cultivators.
"No!"
The sword energy was so fierce that the demon cultivators whose cultivation level was less than the ninth rank were completely unable to resist it. Their chests, heads, and abdomens were all pierced, and blood splattered everywhere.
The scene was shocking.
Demon Lord Xigu was furious. He rolled up his hand and the demonic energy condensed into thousands and tens of thousands of black divine arrows, heading towards the sword energy.
Other demon lords also took action.
Finally, the sword energy disappeared, but just this one time, they suffered heavy losses.
Lu Qingshan's strength was beyond their expectations.
Fortunately, the demon cultivators who were besieging Lu Qingshan in other directions had received the news and came to support him.
Otherwise, Demon Lord Xigu really felt that the limited number of people he had today would not be able to stop Lu Qingshan.
"kill!"
Seeing that reinforcements were arriving one after another, Demon Lord Xigu shouted and attacked again.
If they were really defeated by one person, even if they killed Lu Qingshan in the end, they, the Asura clan, would not have any shame.
They are the war clan!
Countless divine lights and rolling demonic energy poured down like a vast ocean, ready to drown Lu Qingshan.
"Come on!" Lu Qingshan also shouted and soared into the air. The demon-suppressing sword in his hand burst into a strange light, and the sword energy was extremely huge. A green snake emerged from the sky and coiled in the void.
boom!
The green snake blasted the countless divine lights into pieces.
"What! He can defeat us even with our joint efforts?"
"No, it's because his sword is too evil. It will devour our attacks and weaken them!"
Many demon cultivators were shocked.
The Demon-Suppressing Sword is born with sword fangs that constantly devour demonic energy and weaken the enemy, making it a veritable demon-suppressing sword.
Lu Qingshan didn't care, with the sword domain protecting his body and the dust-free fighting room unfolding. He kept swinging his sword, opening and closing it vigorously, rushing forward and attacking the demon cultivator.
The black light of the Demon-Suppressing Aura is shining and as sharp as divine rays. [Blue Steel] treats the bodies of gods and demons as nothing. [Demon Breaker] provides a 100% damage buff. [Six Directions and Eight Wastelands] devours demonic energy and weakens the enemy.
When the three combined into one, their divine might was invincible. For a time, even the large number of demon cultivators could not match their might.
However, despite being invincible, Lu Qingshan's consumption of energy in fighting a group of enemies with one sword was extremely huge, and it was not as easy as imagined.
He knew that he had to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, otherwise when the reinforcements of the demons arrived, his magic power would continue to be depleted, and he would be trapped in the swamp and unable to escape.
"Stop him!" Seeing that his defense line was about to be broken by Lu Qingshan, Demon Lord Xigu became anxious and ordered the demon cultivators to launch a fearless counterattack.
The demon cultivators were very powerful. They tried to kill Lu Qingshan and risked their lives. Even with his unparalleled sharpness to suppress demons, Lu Qingshan was unable to kill them for a while.
Moreover, his consumption is increasing.
Because the demons' manpower is coming in an endless stream, and there seems to be no end.
"Today is the day you die!" Xigu Demon Lord's eyes were grim. Seeing that the situation was slowly stabilizing, his heart gradually calmed down, and the voice he shouted became louder and louder, like thunder.
Lu Qingshan pretended not to hear and swung his sword again, slashing forward.
The evil energy that he had just swallowed was once again reversed by him and then transformed into sword energy. The sword energy then overlapped layer by layer to form a green snake.
It cannot be called Green Snake because there is black in the green.
This sword was so powerful that it immediately knocked the Demon Lord Xigu away and forced him to spit out blood, seriously injuring him.
This is an opportunity.
Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up and he prepared to take advantage of the situation to break out.
Suddenly, he felt a pang in his heart and looked up.
The world seemed to freeze at this moment .
A terrifying aura burst out, and a figure stood there, making people shudder.
"Demon Lord Hesha!" The injured Demon Lord Xigu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, knowing that the outcome was settled.
Because, Demon Lord Hesha is a top-level Demon Lord, one of the only three top-level Demon Lords in the Futu King Realm at this moment.
Although Demon Lord Hesha only reached this level with twenty times the ninth-grade combat power.
But a top-level Demon Lord is a top-level Demon Lord, and there is a huge gap between him and a high-level Demon Lord, and his strength is by no means comparable to that of high-level demons.
Now that he has arrived, there will be no more accidents.
"Not good!" At this moment, Lu Qingshan was horrified, his hair stood on end , and he felt that his life was under threat.
A top-level Demon Lord was not someone he could challenge at his current level, even if he was just the weakest top-level Demon Lord.
No matter how powerful he is, he is only a six-tribulation cultivator, and there is a huge gap in cultivation between him and the top demon lord.
Not to mention, Lu Qingshan’s current enemy is not just the Hesha Demon Lord.
…
Some people may wonder, Yu Canghai, Xue Wushao and Xia Daoyun all have a record of defeating top-level Demon Lords head-on, and they are three top-level Demon Lords of this level, why is it that Lu Qingshan has difficulty defeating even the weakest top-level Demon Lord?
Is Lu Qingshan weaker than them?
Definitely not.
It’s just that Yu Canghai, Xue Wushao and Xia Daoyun each have their own special circumstances, and they are not replicable. When it comes down to it, it can’t be said that they have defeated the three head-on.
Yu Canghai, the second person under Qingyun Sword Immortal of the Sword Sect, had the eighth-tribulation realm cultivation that was the best in the Sword Sect. Not only was he not comparable to Lu Qingshan's sixth-tribulation realm, but even so, he still relied on external forces such as the Changfeng Formation set up by Xia Zu to defeat the War Lord.
Xue Wushao’s cultivation level in the Seven Tribulations Realm was also one tribulation higher than Lu Qingshan’s, but this was not the reason why he defeated the Lord of Life.
The reason why he defeated the Lord of Life was because of his special cultivation system, which required him to cultivate his sword for 1,200 years before he had a chance to win.
It is reasonable that the 1,200 years of hard training and accumulation of a cultivator in the Seven Tribulations Realm were only exchanged for a single sword strike to defeat the Lord of Life.
You have to know that Lu Qingshan has been practicing for less than 30 years.
Xia Daoyun defeated Chi Zun at the Sixth Tribulation Realm, but his cultivation was not higher than Lu Qingshan's.
But the problem is, the reason why she was able to win was because she borrowed the remaining sword energy after Li Qiubai's sword opened the Tianmen.
It is not wrong to say that she defeated Chi Zun, after all, that wave of sword energy was indeed borrowed by her.
But if we really want to make a rigorous argument, the one who defeated Chi Zun should be Li Qiubai, not Xia Daoyun.
…
"It turns out to be a human. His Highness Luo Jia would never have thought of it." Demon Lord Hesha was surprised when he looked at Lu Qingshan who was covered by the sword domain.
However, no matter whether they are high-level demon lords in the Burning Moon Domain or human cultivators, he will show no mercy, and they will all have the same end.
Anyone who insults Asura will be punished no matter how far away he is!
"Kill!"
Demon Lord Hesha shouted.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared on his body, as if a god had revived, with a hazy glow flowing.
The Indra body is an extremely special body of gods and demons. It is completely different from the dark and evil bodies of gods and demons of other demon cultivators. It even seems to be from the same system and possesses divine power.
Countless golden raindrops fell from the sky and sprinkled on Lu Qingshan, turning into flying knives, covering the sky and the earth, and there was no escape.
Ding! Ding!
Lu Qingshan kept swinging his sword to block, but there were always some that were missed and he couldn't block them all.
These missed golden raindrops pierced through his sword domain, passed through the dust-free field of his room, and directly pierced his arm.
Blood gushed out immediately.
The rain of light was too dense and powerful.
If there was only Demon Lord Hesha, Lu Qingshan could still barely deal with him.
However, there were countless demon cultivators attacking him at the same time, with such ferocity that he had to divide his energy to deal with them, and he was unable to concentrate on dealing with the attacks from Demon Lord Hesha.
As a result, he was injured, with several piercings on his body and blood gushing out.
Demon Lord Hesha led thousands of demon cultivators, like a big river, completely blocking Lu Qingshan's way!
