Chapter Fourteen: Slaying Demons

  In the cold and severe winter, this side of the sky was as hot as a scorching summer. The heavenly flames swept across the sky, making Chu Ping and several others around him feel the powerful energy contained within.

  Chu Ping's keen perception could clearly sense that the fire-type yuan force within a radius of several miles was gathering at a terrifying speed, like moths flying into flames, throwing themselves into the nine huge pillars of pure yang on top.

  The fierce flames billowed and danced, setting off the pure Yang's fiery red clothes even more brightly, as if the ancient fire god had returned to the mortal world, bringing with him the power of destruction. Chu Ping didn't doubt for a moment that this scorching true fire could instantly reduce a mountain to ashes and scorched earth!

  Nine giant pillars of fire shot up into the sky, flying high and then heavily falling back down, surrounding Fei Mo in a dizzying whirlwind. The scorching true flames that had been burning the heavens and boiling the seas on top of the pillars suddenly surged towards Fei Mo from all sides!

  Feymorkin's golden hair danced wildly, and two blood lights shot out from his sapphire-like eyes, instantly stirring up a sky full of blood light. Behind him, the twin wings flapped violently, generating a fierce gale that drove away the raging True Fire!

  "Vampire Count, indeed formidable!"

  A man in white stood with his sword, the fierce wind blowing, his white clothes fluttering, his belt flying, and his whole body emitting a sharp sword intent. A circle of ripples appeared around him, like water waves, layer upon layer, spreading out in circles!

  Chu Ping's first magic duel, he gazed intently and saw that the light waves around his body were divided into three layers. The inner and middle layers each had nine rings of light, displaying different colors, while the outermost layer had five rings of light, like a kaleidoscope with colors colliding and evolving into infinite splendor!

  "This person's entire body is filled with sword intent, he must be a disciple of Mount Shu! The Mount Shu Sword Sect has nine levels of sword realms, and each level has nine major cultivation stages. Looking at this situation, he must have already reached the third level of sword realm, and can be considered a top-notch young disciple!"

  Chu Ping secretly thought to himself, but his hands didn't slow down at all. His true yuan flowed like boiling water, and wherever it passed through, his muscles, bones, and blood vessels all emitted a fierce rumbling explosion sound. The long sword in his right hand hummed with intense vibration, and a flash of light like lightning crackled on the sword, making a tearing sound that didn't stop.

  In an instant, Chu Ping immersed himself in the profound and mysterious realm of unity with nature. He felt that his five internal organs and six hollow organs had transformed into mountains, rivers, and hills, and the blood flowing throughout his body was like a mighty river. His thoughts were suspended high above, like the sun, moon, and stars, using his own power to connect the infinite heaven and earth!

  The true yuan in the body rushes about, flowing freely between the twelve meridians, and finally all rush into the right arm's tendon sheath!

  The clothes on his right arm were suddenly stirred up, a green light enveloped his arm and flew around, finally gathering on the long sword, bursting out with a loud noise, transforming into a sharp sword aura over several feet long!

  "The five elements of heaven and earth, wood is the divine thunder, metal is the mighty lightning!" Chu Ping concentrated his spirit, standing upright with his own five elements stirring up the heavenly thunder and lightning. In an instant, dark clouds filled the nine heavens, and silver snakes ran wildly!

  The sharp-faced man and the woman holding a copper wheel saw it, their minds greatly shocked, and they simultaneously exclaimed in surprise, "Divine Thunderbolt of the Heavenly Sky!"

  They exchanged a glance, then slowly shook their heads. Seeing this momentum, it was very similar to the Tian Shi Dao's Shen Xiao Tian Lei technique, but upon closer inspection, there were obvious differences!

  The Tian Shi Dao's Shen Xiao Tian Lei, most of them use talismans to connect with the heavenly thunder, condensing it in their palms, also known as "Palm Thunder". However, this young man is clearly using remote-controlled thunderbolts. Although it seems so, he has a spiritual connection that allows him to control it at will, like an extension of his own arm. He wields this heavenly power with utmost agility, as if it were a part of himself!

  Innumerable heavenly thunders, like divine dragons, rose and fell in a flash, yet seemed to dance wildly like spiritual snakes, following the long sword in Chu Ping's hand as it changed freely. Finally, they gradually gathered above the divine fire, and the vast power of heaven spread out, causing everyone present to feel a sense of oppression, their breathing somewhat labored!

  The white-clothed man's swirling sword intent quickly condensed, three circles of sword waves shot up to the sky, merged into one, and converged on the flying sword. The sword tip trembled, and in an instant, it flew out of his hand, crossing over the divine fire, and struck directly at Fei Mo!

  "Shu Mountain flying sword, pure yang fierce fire, Kongtong heavenly seal, Emei copper wheel, and also the Wuying Temple's seal! Today I have the good fortune to witness it, indeed its reputation is not in vain. But what can you do to me? Ah, young monk from Wuying Temple, how did you master the Heavenly Thunder Technique!"

  The divine fire within Fei Mou's eyes gleamed with icy coldness, extreme arrogance, a fierce gust of wind blocked the pure Yang divine fire that pierced the sky, his right hand was as hard as gold and iron, colliding with the flying sword of Shu Mountain, spewing out countless sparks!

  Seeing Chu Ping's beckoning heavenly thunder, he seemed somewhat astonished and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise!

  "Unbelievable! A foreign devil, you're actually so familiar with the divine techniques of our China!" The sharp-faced man let out a cold snort, his hands grasping seals, and the square seal in his hand slowly flew out again. This time it didn't grow larger, but instead slowly rotated, its light condensing and shining brightly!

  Chu Ping was also surprised to see Fei Mo fighting two people at once without falling behind. With a swing of his long sword, he shouted "All!"

  The nine-character mantra of the Dharmachakra Temple, where "all" is like a door in the Xiūwǔ Shéntōng, "Lion's Roar", stunning the enemy's heart and soul, Buddha makes an angry roar, all demons surrender!

  Feymo felt a loud explosion in his ears, his whole body shook, his mind was dizzy, and his hands slowed down. The flying sword spinning around him had already broken through the blood light in an instant, sweeping across his ribs, taking away a large piece of blood light!

  At the same time, endless thunder and lightning flashed above his head, like a divine dragon swooping down, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind that struck Fei Mo's body!

  The fierce and pure Yang's heavenly fire swept over, engulfing Fei Mo, and the crowd only heard the "sizzling" sound, without knowing what was happening inside!

  The sharp-faced man's square seal, like a flash of lightning, flew by in an instant, shuttling back and forth through the flames, and it was unknown how many hundreds or tens of times he hit Fei Mo, but heard waves of hoarse cries filled with pain, obviously suffering greatly!

  Flames, Lightning, Sword Light, Great Seal!

  Four pipes fall together, thunderstorm bursts!

  The sound of Fei Mo's voice grew weaker and weaker in the arena, and a hint of a smile gradually appeared on the faces of the five people. Just as they were about to add more strength to defeat their opponent, a burst of blood light suddenly shot up into the sky, dispersing all the true flames, causing the flying sword to retreat, and even the thunder and lightning were swept away. The dark clouds in the sky were also blown open, leaving only the square seal of the sharp-faced man, which was not large in size, but it was like colliding with Mount Sumeru, and rebounding back!

  The blood light was so weak that it was almost invisible, and under the great shock of everyone, Fei Mou's whole body was charred black, with all the steel-like feathers on his back falling off, covered in fresh blood, but he laughed loudly!

  "You think you can kill me just because there are many of you? But aren't you being scattered by me with a single shout, haha!"

  The man in white robes sneered coldly, "Let's see how many times you can disperse! How long can your Earl realm last!"

  Fermi's face didn't change, a flash of blood light on his body, and he suddenly transformed into countless bats, dispersing and about to fly!

  A white-clothed man's flying sword spinning on top of his head shook, instantly countless sword lights like swimming dragons, filled the field, chasing and killing the scattered bats!

  Lietian Yang also let out a loud shout, the nine Heavenly Fire Pillars scattered into thousands of fire lotuses, each chasing after one bat. Instantly, the lotus bloomed and wrapped around it, followed by several shrill cries, whereupon the bats were reduced to flying ashes!

  The sharp-faced man and the woman apparently had no such means, they just quietly watched!

  Chu Ping only saw that the sky was filled with bats, flying in all directions, and although his sword light was like a dragon and the fire lotus was fierce, he couldn't kill all these bats!

  "You think you can just leave like this?!"

  Chu Ping sneered, previously Charles had escaped with such means, and he himself had used the six Sheli to immobilize Ming Wang's appearance, sealing all directions. This Fei Miao was obviously much more formidable than Charles, and his own imagined Ming Wang might not be able to restrain him!

  "If it were just a few moments ago, I wouldn't have been able to, but now that I want to leave, I'm afraid it's too late!"

  With fingers crossed like a sword, a single finger pointed at the brow, and in an instant, a nine-story square precious pagoda emerged, which was precisely the Yu Pagoda!

  Uta is a divine artifact created by the ancient great sage's refinement of the secret method of Qitian, even if the Qitian Zong Shenren in the Thousand Buddha Mountain was suppressed, let alone the mere vampire earl who can't even reach the immortal position!

  What's more, the Fermat in front of him was just a viscount who had reached the boundary of an earl in terms of power by relying on some kind of secret method to devour his own clan!

  The nine-story pagoda stirred up waves of fluctuations, causing the surrounding space to undulate like ripples on water, and the space in all directions was suddenly sealed off!

  Tens of thousands of bats flew wildly in all directions within, flying out three feet far and near, but as if hitting a layer of transparent glass, they were blocked!

  What's even more bizarre is that the bats crashing into the spatial barrier were instantly sucked in by a massive force into the square tower!

  Chu Ping's divine consciousness and intention are connected with the Yu Tower, and he can clearly feel that all the bats absorbed into it are trapped on the lowest level of the tower!

  "It's indeed a divine artifact!" Chu Ping exclaimed, and with a slight movement of his mind, the tower suddenly burst into fierce flames, burning brightly red all over, scorching the surrounding walls of the tower, but the tower itself showed no signs of turning red or heating up!

  In just a few breaths, all the bats were absorbed and subdued by Utata. Chu Ping pointed with his left hand, and Utata flipped up layers of chaotic light, then re-collected it back into the Mudan.

  After the battle subsided, a few young people let out a sigh of relief and walked together, greeting each other.

  "In the lower Shu Mountains, Lingyun, this is Zhou Tianbo's junior brother from Kongtong, and Li Jing's junior sister from Emei!" The man in white collected his flying sword and introduced himself to Chu Ping and the other, "I don't know how to address you two Daoist brothers?"

  Liu Chunyang smiled, "I am Liu Chunyang of the Pure Yang Sect. This is Chu Ping, a senior monk from the Wuxiang Temple. How did you three come together and get into conflict with this overseas evil demon?"

  A group of people were tracking each other, but at this moment they had already arrived in a field, and the five of them all descended to the ground, casually finding a place to crouch down, their demeanor relaxed. But upon closer inspection, it could be discovered that although they appeared to be squatting on the ground, there was actually a thin layer of light separating each of the five people from the earth's surface, and none of them were truly sitting on the ground!

  "It turned out to be a fellow Taoist from the Pure Yang Sect and Wuyou Temple," Lingyun of Shushan smiled lightly, then fell silent.

  Chu Ping saw a hint of mockery in the other person's eyes, and although she didn't understand it, she also didn't say anything.

  Since he looks down on himself, I don't bother to deal with him anymore!

  Li Rong said in a low voice, "The three of us are members of the Central Special Bureau. Today, we happened to encounter this evil demon and clashed with him! This person has already become a viscount-level vampire, although he is no match for the three of us, but he managed to escape. The three of us chased him here, not expecting to meet the two of you."

  Lie Chuyang also saw Lingyun's disdain, felt a surge of anger in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "Since that's the case, the demon has been eliminated, we'll part ways here!"

  Chu Ping also had this intention, seeing Lie Chuyu already standing up, immediately stood up as well and cupped his hands together.

  That sharp-faced man, Zhou Tianbo, seemed like he was about to say something, but seeing that the two had already stood up, he didn't say it.

  Chu Ping and Lie Chuyang's bodies shot up into the air at the same time, their figures already disappearing into the distance as they fled without looking back!

  "Hmph, they're just disciples of two small sects, yet they're so arrogant!" Lingyun coldly watched as Chu Ping and the other left, a thought flashing through his mind.

  "Let's go too, it seems that we've finally gotten rid of this trouble. That Chu Ping, his divine powers are quite impressive!" Li Gao said aloud as he saw Chu Ping and Lie Chuyang become two black dots on the distant horizon.

  Lingyun grunted and didn't say anything, then mounted his sword and left first.

  Zhou Tianbo chuckled and said, "Li Shimei, why bother getting angry with him? Disciples of Mount Shu have always been so arrogant!"

  Li Rong exclaimed, "What's wrong with Shu Mountain? Just now, those two were younger than us, but their magical powers are above ours!"

  "Alright, alright, let's go!" With that, the two of them also sprang into action and headed in the direction where Lingyun had gone.

  "Xiao Yang, do you know what Te Chu Ju is for?" Chu Ping asked Lie Chuyang in a flash.

  "Please, Chu Shixiong, you're not much older than me, can't you just call me Yang instead of Little Yang?" Lie Chuyang rubbed his forehead with one hand, but his eyes were full of amusement.

  Chu Ping burst out laughing, feeling a wave of relief in her heart. The discomfort she had felt due to Ling Yun's disdainful attitude earlier was completely gone. "This Ling Yun is still cultivating the Tao, yet his temperament is so poor!"

  "It's no wonder, Mount Shu is highly regarded in the cultivation world, almost on par with Kunlun! Our Pure Yang Sect and Fa Xiang Temple are really just small fry in the eyes of these major sects!"

  "As for the Special Affairs Bureau, I also know about it. It's composed of some Xianmen sects and people with special abilities, specializing in handling national paranormal events or confronting foreign forces beyond human capabilities, also known as 'Dragon Unit'. Almost every disciple from each sect on the continent has participated, going down the mountain to practice and train, and many have joined. Like our Pure Yang Sect, there are also disciples who are members of it. The status is very high, generally departments don't dare offend them, but those who know about the existence of Dragon Unit are extremely few!"

  "Shu Mountain? Kunlun!" Chu Ping smiled slightly, suddenly seeming to remember something, and asked, "Do you know that in the Xiu Zhen Men sect there is one called 'Qitian Zong'?"

  "Qitian Sect?" Lie Chuyu was taken aback, "This one does exist, but it's just a small sect!"

  "Little Sect!" Chu Ping was shocked.

  "Yes, but I heard that the seniors of our sect said that in ancient times, the Qi Tian Sect was renowned for its prestige and was located above Kunlun, along with the 'Wan Fa Men' (Ten Thousand Dharma Gate), they were known as the 'Two Great Sacred Sites of Cultivation'. However, during the great war of the ancient gods, the high-ranking experts of both the Qi Tian Sect and Wan Fa Men suffered heavy casualties. The cultivation methods of both sects became incomplete and difficult to understand, gradually declining until now, when they have become a minor, unremarkable sect."

  "I see!" Chu Ping nodded and stopped talking.
