"Is it down there?"
High in the heavens, Ye Yun stood on the Banana Leaf Fan, looking down at the twin peaks and the abyss.
Streams of demonic energy surged from the abyss below, resonating with the broken sword fragments on Ye Yun's body.
"Alright."
Ye Yun charged forward, descending from the sky.
But halfway down, a barrage of demonic energy sword qi shot towards him.
"Oh?"
Ye Yun's eyes narrowed. He sensed that within the molten demonic pool below, a powerful force was circulating, and a mysterious aura even guarded the surroundings.
"Banana Leaf Fan!"
Ye Yun moved his divine sense, and the Banana Leaf Fan unleashed its might, spreading outwards.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The demonic energy sword qi struck the Banana Leaf Fan, unable to cause any damage.
The old man below sensed the power of the Banana Leaf Fan and was shocked.
"It's actually something beyond a divine artifact. How is this possible?"
Shock was evident on the old man's face. He couldn't fathom that there existed something in this world that could rival the demonic sword.
At this moment, a streak of light descended, taking the form of Ye Yun.
"Who are you, and how dare you intrude upon the Demonic Sword Pool?"
"This is the Demonic Sword Pool? Then I have been presumptuous. However, this demonic sword is related to my disciple's background, so I must see it."
"Your disciple? Who?"
"There's no need to say more to you. I intend to take the sword body from this Demonic Sword Pool. Is that alright?"
Ye Yun realized that the sword body was a crucial part of the demonic sword, far more powerful than the broken fragments he possessed, and he had to take it.
"Hahaha, young man, aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?"
"Oh? Senior, I am speaking cordially. Why do you say such things?"
"Hmph, I have guarded this demonic sword for tens of thousands of years. You want to take it away? It won't be that easy!"
"I see. I can only apologize."
For Xiao Ai, Ye Yun was determined to obtain the demonic sword body this time.
"Hahaha, it's been so many years since I've fought. Let's get some exercise today."
"I shall accompany you!"
Ye Yun looked at the old man before him, sensing that the opponent's cultivation was truly unfathomable. He was at least a High God, or perhaps even an Extreme God.
"Ah!"
At this moment, the old man's eyes sharpened, and he pointed a sword-like finger towards the sword body in the Demonic Sword Pool.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Streams of bloody sword qi continuously converged towards his body, evolving into the form of the demonic sword.
"It seems this is the original form of the demonic sword."
Seeing the bloody demonic sword in the old man's hand, Ye Yun nodded slightly.
"Receive this!"
"Then I shall offend."
Ye Yun extended his hand, and the God Slaying Sword was drawn.
"Kill!"
The old man moved instantly, like a blood shadow, elusive and unpredictable.
"Such speed! Truly worthy of being the guardian of the demonic sword!"
Ye Yun closed his eyes, his divine senses active.
He could only sense a blood shadow darting around him, leaving behind bloody sword qi wherever it passed.
"This is a sword formation!"
Ye Yun immediately realized that these residual bloody sword qi were forming a sword formation to seal his movements.
"God Slaying Sword Qi - Slash the Eight Desolations!"
To prevent the opponent's sword formation from taking shape, Ye Yun swung the God Slaying Sword fiercely. The sword qi impacted all directions, but upon touching the bloody sword qi, it dissipated in mid-air.
"Even the God Slaying Sword Qi can't break it even a little?"
This time, Ye Yun was somewhat taken aback. He was currently a Middle God, and the power of his God Slaying Sword Qi, unleashed with such cultivation, had increased by more than tenfold. Yet, it couldn't shake this bloody sword formation, indicating that some power was hidden within this bloody sword qi.
"Hahaha, good boy, your sword qi already possesses the ability to slay gods, but against my demonic sword rules, you can only surrender."
"Old fellow, you are quite confident."
"I am not confident, I am merely stating facts. At your age, to possess the cultivation of a Middle God is truly astonishing. However, you are the one who is too confident, no, overconfident."
The old man suddenly appeared, and simultaneously, around Ye Yun, the bloody sword qi took shape, trapping his movements.
"This sword formation is indeed exquisite, but is it too easy to use it to trap me?"
"Boy, you've really made me curious. How will you break it?"
"It's very simple."
Ye Yun moved his divine sense, and the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover appeared.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Streams of divine fire power descended from the heavens, about to strike the sword formation.
"Boy, I won't mince words. My demonic sword formation is completely immune to flames. You wish to break it by burning it with fire? That's probably too foolish."
"Is that so? Do you know my divine fire is no ordinary fire?"
"What do you mean?"
"You'll know soon enough."
Ye Yun activated the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover, and immediately dragon roars echoed, divine fire soaring into the sky.
"Roar!"
A divine fire transformed into a divine dragon, charging forth and coiling.
In the blink of an eye, the bloody sword formation that had previously trapped Ye Yun turned to ash.
"This, this is too powerful!"
The old man cried out in shock. He immediately realized that the artifact Ye Yun was using was also something beyond a divine artifact. How many such treasures did this brat possess?!
"Detestable!"
Seeing his meticulously arranged bloody sword formation so easily broken, the old man was furious. The bloody sword qi transformed into a tempest, rushing towards Ye Yun.
"Why are you getting so worked up?"
Ye Yun shook his head, holding the God Slaying Sword, and continued to clash with the opponent's Scarlet Blood Demonic Sword.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Gleaming blades and flowing fire!
For a time, the two figures soared, neither gaining the upper hand.
"Demonic Sword One-Strike Slash!"
The old man's divine ability was revealed. The demonic sword transformed into a massive blade in the sky, descending from above.
"Hmm?"
Ye Yun's brows furrowed. He felt that the sword qi of the opponent was boundless and immeasurable.
"Star Crystal Wall!"
He activated his star power, constructing a star crystal wall in mid-air to resist the power of the demonic sword, then reversed his God Slaying Sword and unleashed a fierce strike.
"Power of Death!"
Infinite power of death erupted from the God Slaying Sword, soaring into the sky.
"Crack!"
The Star Crystal Wall couldn't resist the Demonic Sword One-Strike Slash, but this was within Ye Yun's expectations. His true power was fused into this deathly strike.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
The death sword qi and the Demonic Sword One-Strike Slash finally clashed.
The power of both sides rapidly dissipated. The power of death turned everything to decay, while the demonic sword qi contained primordial demonic energy, also capable of destroying everything.
Finally, with a deafening explosion, both Ye Yun and the old man were repelled.
"How is this possible? You actually blocked it?"
"What's so difficult about that? However, to force me back two steps, your sword is indeed formidable."
"You scoundrel, I have cultivated for over a hundred thousand years and borrowed the power of the demonic sword, yet I can only fight you to a draw?"
"Isn't this good? We both maintain our dignity."
Ye Yun smiled at the old man. After all, he was only here to retrieve the sword, not out of deep hatred.
