Chapter 420 High-Rank Demon
At the bottom of a deathly silent and dark, deep pit, a chilling and eerie sound suddenly emanated, as if from the deepest hell. "Whoosh!" In an instant, a ghostly, pitch-black figure shot up from the pit with lightning speed.
This enormous black shadow was hundreds of feet tall. A pair of sharp, pointed horns grew from the sides of its head, and a pair of broad, powerful wings stretched from its back. Its entire body emanated a terrifying, overwhelming demonic aura that blotted out the sky. Without a doubt, this was a high-ranking demon of immense power!
The high-level demon raised its head to the sky, opened its blood-red maw, and let out a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth. Then, with a deafening boom, its wings flapped violently, instantly transforming it into a streak of black lightning, hurtling towards Xu Nian with incredible speed. Its speed was simply unbelievable, even surpassing Xu Nian's original speed.
As Xu Nian was fleeing at full speed, he suddenly felt an overwhelming aura surging towards him from behind. His heart tightened, and his brow furrowed slightly. "Hmm?" he murmured, already understanding that a high-level Heavenly Demon was relentlessly pursuing him. However, facing such a powerful enemy, Xu Nian showed no fear whatsoever; instead, a chilling glint flashed in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Nian stopped abruptly, turned around, and stared coldly at the approaching high-level demon. The demon had already caught up to Xu Nian and stopped abruptly. Looking down at the tiny Xu Nian, it roared in an arrogant and disdainful tone, "Humble human, obediently hand over the treasures you carry, and perhaps I will spare your dog's life!"
Hearing this, Xu Nian's lips curled into a mocking smile. He retorted without flinching, "Want the treasure I possess? Hmph, then we'll see if you have the ability!" Before his words even finished, Xu Nian's aura surged dramatically, and a breathtaking life-or-death struggle was about to begin…
Xu Nian's lips curled up slightly, forming a cold and contemptuous smile. With this sneer, a surge of fighting spirit erupted from his body, like a long-dormant volcano suddenly awakening, spewing out scorching lava that shot straight into the sky.
"Arrogant!" Upon seeing this, the high-level demon roared in uncontrollable rage, its voice deafening, as if it would tear the entire world apart. At the same time, two jet-black beams of light suddenly shot out from its blood-red eyes. These beams of light were like two ferocious and terrifying black dragons, carrying a world-destroying force, sweeping towards Xu Nian in an overwhelming manner.
Faced with the fierce attack, Xu Nian merely curled his lips in disdain and said nonchalantly, "It's just a trivial skill!" As soon as he finished speaking, the long sword he was holding suddenly trembled violently and emitted a clear and melodious sword sound, as if responding to its master's contempt.
Immediately afterward, Xu Nian swung his arm sharply, and the longsword in his hand transformed into a dazzling and brilliant sword light. This sword light was like a silver river cascading down from the heavens, vast and majestic. Wherever the sword light passed, the void was forcibly torn open with a huge rift, carrying unparalleled power as it fiercely cleaved towards the two ferocious black dragons that were charging towards them.
A deafening roar, like a thousand thunderclaps, resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The sword light and the black dragon collided violently, instantly unleashing a tremendous surge of energy. The surrounding space trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse and shatter at any moment; the sky also changed color, the once clear and azure sky instantly obscured by rolling black clouds.
In the midst of this breathtaking collision, something unexpected happened—the two seemingly invincible black dragons, under the fierce strikes of the sword light, began to shatter inch by inch, like fragile porcelain. Countless black fragments flew in all directions, eventually turning into a sky full of black mist, gradually dissipating into nothingness.
"What?!" Upon seeing this, the high-level demon's expression changed drastically, its eyes widening in shock and disbelief. It never imagined that this seemingly unremarkable human would possess such terrifying strength. However, before it could recover, it heard Xu Nian shout again, "Again!" With that, Xu Nian's figure flashed, closing in like a ghost, his longsword flashing once more, creating a dazzling display of light and shadow…
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" A sharp sound of air being torn apart suddenly rang out, and countless extremely sharp sword lights shot out from the gleaming longsword like meteors. These sword lights were dense and intertwined like a net, like a torrential downpour, carrying unparalleled power as they surged towards the high-level Heavenly Demon in front.
Faced with the overwhelming barrage of sword light, the high-level demon roared deafeningly, "Demonic Flames Rage to the Heavens!" In an instant, the demonic energy around him surged wildly like a burst dam, rapidly condensing into a raging inferno as black as ink. This flame, with its ferocious aura, resembled a monstrous beast with bared fangs and claws, instantly engulfing the high-level demon's entire body.
Immediately following was a series of earth-shattering roars. "Boom boom boom!" The rapidly approaching sword lights collided violently with the black flames, sparking countless dazzling sparks, as brilliant and colorful as fireworks blooming in the night sky. However, this fierce clash did not last long. The once unstoppable sword lights began to be gradually torn apart and devoured by the black flames; and the black flames were not spared either, gradually dissipating under the fierce impact of the sword lights.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Xu Nian, who had been intently watching the battle, suddenly narrowed his eyes and unleashed an incomparably powerful sword intent. With a thought, he continuously channeled his true essence into the longsword in his hand.
With a deep, resonant sound, the longsword in Xu Nian's hand suddenly shone brightly, its brightness comparable to the blazing sun, making it impossible to look directly at. The next moment, Xu Nian swung his arm, and a massive sword light, several times more dazzling than any before, roared towards the black flames.
With another deafening roar, "Boom!" the seemingly indestructible black flames were actually cleaved in two by the sword light. At the same time, the heavily injured high-level demon could no longer hold on, spitting out a mouthful of thick, jet-black blood, and flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
"How is this possible?! This is absolutely impossible!" The high-level demon stared wide-eyed, its pupils filled with terror, and a glimmer of despair flickered deep within its eyes. It could never have imagined that such a powerful being as itself would be defeated by a mere human.
"Hmph, nothing is impossible!" Xu Nian replied coldly, without any emotional fluctuation. Before he finished speaking, his figure blurred, and he appeared in front of the high-level Heavenly Demon like a ghost.
"Pfft!" A flash of cold light appeared as Xu Nian thrust out his longsword, piercing directly through the chest of the high-level Heavenly Demon. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, blooming like a blood flower in the air.
"Ah..." The high-level demon let out a heart-wrenching scream, the sound echoing through the heavens and sending chills down one's spine. As the longsword pierced through, its body deflated like a punctured balloon, rapidly shrinking away at a visible speed.
In just a short while, the once majestic high-level demon was reduced to a dried-up corpse, its lifeless body plummeting straight down from mid-air.
With a loud bang, the mummified corpse crashed heavily to the ground, instantly shattering into countless pieces and raising a cloud of dust.
Xu Nian slowly sheathed his longsword without expression, then turned and left without looking back. At that moment, the setting sun cast its last rays upon him, making his shadow appear very long. His back looked so tall and majestic, like an insurmountable mountain peak.
"They're nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs." Xu Nian stood in mid-air, his eyes cold and disdainful, as if he controlled everything in the world. His white robes fluttered in the wind, spotless, forming a stark contrast with the devastated battlefield below, making him seem out of place.
Just then, a muffled rumble suddenly came from the sky, like rolling thunder, deafeningly loud. The entire earth seemed to tremble at that moment.
Suddenly, without warning, the earth began to tremble violently, as if the entire world was being shaken by an invisible giant hand. Accompanied by muffled rumbling sounds, bottomless cracks spread rapidly like a hideous spider web.
"Crack! Crack!" A series of terrifying cracking sounds rang out as the solid ground instantly shattered into countless pieces of rock of varying sizes. These rocks seemed to come alive, shooting skyward with a whooshing sound, forming a rain of stones that blotted out the sun, making it almost impossible to see anything clearly.
Just then, a deafening roar came from the depths of the earth, a sound like ten thousand thunderclaps or a furious tiger, so loud it made people's eardrums ache and their heads spin. Immediately afterward, with a loud "boom," a jet-black beam of light suddenly burst through the ground and shot straight into the sky with the force of a thunderbolt.
Within this black pillar of light, an extremely enormous figure could be vaguely seen gradually emerging. Upon seeing this, Xu Nian frowned slightly, inwardly shocked: What a powerful aura!
"Human, how dare you destroy my clone! Today, I will make sure you die without a burial place and tear you to pieces!" A chilling voice came from the black pillar of light, filled with endless anger and resentment, as if a demon from the deepest hell was howling.
In the blink of an eye, the black pillar of light vanished without a trace, and the figure within was finally fully revealed to everyone. It was a celestial demon, much larger than any they had seen before! Its body was over a thousand feet tall, like a towering demonic mountain, giving off an unparalleled sense of oppression.
This demon has a pair of sharp, curved horns on its head, gleaming with a chilling light that seems capable of easily piercing through everything in the world. Behind it stretches a pair of enormous wings that cover half the sky. With each gentle flap of its wings, it stirs up a torrent of monstrous demonic energy, sweeping in like a black tide, its aura terrifying.
Xu Nian looked closely and saw that the demon before him was covered with dense black scales, which were arranged closely together like an indestructible armor. Each scale shimmered with a cold light, and its texture was as strong as a shield, as if it could withstand any attack in the world.
Xu Nian's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly recognized the true identity of this Heavenly Demon—it was actually a king among high-level Heavenly Demons! However, facing such a powerful enemy, his eyes only narrowed slightly, without revealing the slightest fear. On the contrary, a confident smile quietly crept onto the corners of his lips: "Interesting, but with this level of ability, it's far from enough to make me take you seriously!"
Hearing Xu Nian's contemptuous words, the Heavenly Demon King was instantly enraged, roaring to the sky, "Arrogant brat, today is your death day!" As this roar echoed through the heavens, it swung its thick, powerful arm and unleashed a powerful punch. In an instant, an enormous black fist shadow, like a giant meteorite falling from the sky, slammed down towards Xu Nian with earth-shattering force.
The fist's shadow swept past, and the space in its path began to crack inch by inch, forming terrifying, bottomless, pitch-black fissures. The entire space seemed to be torn apart by this powerful force.
At that moment, instead of retreating or fleeing, Xu Nian pushed off with his feet and shot forward like an arrow. At the same time, the longsword he gripped trembled violently, emitting a clear and melodious sword cry.
"Slash!" With a roar from Xu Nian, he swung his arm, and the longsword in his hand transformed into a dazzling and brilliant sword light. This sword light was like a silver river hanging upside down in the sky, slashing fiercely at the huge fist shadow that was coming towards him with the force of a thunderbolt.
A deafening roar suddenly erupted as the sword light and fist shadow collided violently. Instantly, the shockwave from their collision swept across the surrounding area, churning the air violently. The world was plunged into chaos, with flying sand and stones, flashing lightning and roaring thunder, as if the end of the world had arrived.
