I am determined to kill the Black Demon Son today.
With this conviction, I pursued him rapidly.
Empowered by my cultivation, my speed was extreme, like a gust of wind.
Leaving behind only afterimages.
The Black Demon Son’s cultivation was higher than mine, but he was severely injured.
Using that curse seal earlier had greatly drained him and caused significant backlash.
After all, one cannot unleash power beyond their cultivation.
Even if they do, it is at the cost of depletion.
The current state of the Black Demon Son was precisely that.
Escaping swiftly under the guard of over a dozen malevolent spirits.
With every distance covered, he coughed up blood.
I pursued relentlessly from behind, clinging to the Black Demon Son’s heels.
He glanced back several times, his gaze filled with venom, and cast various talismans at me.
Attempting to slow me down, but all failed.
Tracking him, I chased the Black Demon Son into a valley.
Here, bushes grew dense, and the trees were significantly more luxuriant than outside.
And the Black Demon Son, continuously pursued by me, was already gasping for breath.
At this moment, he spewed a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.
Seizing the opportunity, I quickly advanced:
“Demonic cultivator, you have nowhere to run!”
I shouted.
The Black Demon Son stared at me, gritting his teeth as he slowly rose from the ground.
The dozen malevolent spirits beside him stood guard, their expressions fierce.
“Boy, do you really think you can kill me single-handedly?”
“How will you know if you don’t try?”
“Hahaha, good! This Son will settle this matter with you right here today.”
The Black Demon Son spoke, waving his arm.
The dozen malevolent spirits roared “Awoo!” and lunged at me.
Grasping my peach wood sword, I faced the charging spirits.
Not a step backward did I take, facing these spirits.
I merely snorted coldly, sword in hand, and met them head-on.
“Swish, swish, swish” – instantly, blades flashed.
Auras erupted.
The talismans in my hand were unleashed one after another.
In an instant, the sounds of exploding talismans and vibrating sword energy echoed, “Dong, dong.”
I cleanly dispatched all dozen of the minor malevolent spirits.
As my final sword strike felled the last spirit,
Only the Black Demon Son and I remained.
“Now, it is just you and me!”
I said coldly, looking at the Black Demon Son.
The Black Demon Son’s expression became ferocious, and he suddenly let out a low roar at me:
“Die!”
As he spoke, black energy erupted from his entire body.
Black veins appeared on his face, looking terrifying.
He must have employed some secret technique to enhance himself.
I dared not be careless for a moment, activating the Qiankun True Law, circulating Yin and Yang energy.
Bringing myself to my peak state at this moment.
“Bang!”
With an explosion, an outward ripple of energy spread.
The Black Demon Son, wielding his black iron needle, struck down like Mount Tai.
My tiger’s mouth went numb; I could barely block.
Strong, the Black Demon Son was indeed strong.
But no matter how strong, today was his day to die.
Quickly forming seals with my left hand, I uttered a low roar:
“Heaven and Earth are boundless, Qiankun has its laws, Break!”
Unleashing the 'Po' character technique.
I unleashed a sword strike.
“Weng” – an explosion, intense energy vibrated.
This time, I managed to push the Black Demon Son back.
But only just pushed back.
“You are very capable; few of your peers can withstand my 'Po' character technique.”
I praised.
Setting aside our animosity, his talent and strength were indeed on par with mine.
Both exceptional in their own right.
“You are not bad either! To have forced this Son to this extent.”
With that, the Black Demon Son unleashed another secret art.
Black energy billowed, and I felt as if a hundred pounds were suddenly placed upon my body.
With no time to spare, I formed seals again:
“Chi!”
The Yin and Yang dual orbs were unleashed, flying towards the Black Demon Son.
The Black Demon Son opened his mouth and spat out a small black sword.
The sword, emanating black light, transformed into a flying sword the moment it left his mouth, clashing with my Yin and Yang dual orbs.
As expected of a Son, he possessed many powerful artifacts.
Thus, the Black Demon Son and I engaged in a fierce battle.
Talismans, artifacts, and mystic arts were all employed.
It was incredibly intense.
He was the strongest opponent of my peer I had faced since I began this path.
Let me tell you, I possess three types of Dao qi.
And I have cultivated the Qiankun True Law, making me virtually invincible among my peers.
Yet, this Black Demon Son, despite his severe injuries, fought me without yielding.
We exchanged at least three hundred blows.
The Black Demon Son suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and hurled a black talisman at me.
The black talisman shot directly towards my forehead, moving with extreme speed.
Dare not be careless, I raised my sword to strike.
“Bang” – with one sword, the black talisman exploded.
From within the black talisman, acidic fluid splashed out.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle” – like raindrops, it scattered all over my body.
Falling on my clothes, it instantly created a small hole.
Startled, I quickly raised my hand to block and retreated.
Although I made the correct decision in an instant,
I was still scalded on the arm by the acid…
The pain was piercing, agonizing, and unbearable.
“Hahaha! Boy, you’ve fallen for my Death Water Talisman, you’re finished.”
The wound on my arm, corroded by the acid, turned black.
Clearly poisoned.
Damn it, I never expected him to have such a talisman.
Now in a precarious situation, I had to kill him.
Otherwise, I would be the one to die.
Gritting my teeth, enduring the pain, I charged at the Black Demon Son again.
The Black Demon Son was also struggling to hold on; it was a contest of who would break first.
We exchanged over ten more blows, and I finally found an opening and a weakness.
I thrust my sword forward.
The Black Demon Son was greatly alarmed and attempted to dodge.
But a cold smile played on my lips.
With my other hand, I swiftly drew my most potent talisman, the Divine Fire Talisman.
And slapped it onto the Black Demon Son’s shoulder.
Even though the Black Demon Son realized it, it was too late to evade.
“Pa” – precisely and accurately, it landed on his arm.
Immediately after, I took a step back.
Forming seals with one hand, I uttered a low roar:
“Divine Fire Talisman, Expedite as per Law, Chi!”
The Divine Fire Talisman was instantly released.
Even if the Black Demon Son wanted to tear off the talisman, it was too late.
The fire attribute energy spread, forming a brand on the Black Demon Son’s arm.
In his panic, the Black Demon Son already felt the searing heat.
“Weng!”
With a burst of fire, a ball of flame instantly engulfed the Black Demon Son.
“No!”
The Black Demon Son screamed, struggling, casting black energy from his body to extinguish the flames.
However, this talisman fire was too potent, ten times stronger than ordinary talisman fires.
The black energy emanating from the Black Demon Son’s body was powerless to extinguish the flames.
Beneath the engulfing flames, three balls of fire appeared above his head.
These three balls of fire continuously condensed, becoming increasingly intense.
I watched the Black Demon Son, who had become a human torch.
Panting, I said:
“You can die now!”
The Black Demon Son, covered in flames, struggled ceaselessly.
Upon hearing my voice, he spoke with an unusually furious and hoarse tone:
“Black Demon, Black Demon above, I will, I will attain eternal life…”
However, the moment he finished speaking, the three balls of fire “Boom, boom, boom,” descended like meteors, all crashing onto the Black Demon Son.
“Rumble…”
Explosions echoed, and flames shot up ten meters high.
The Black Demon Son, who could speak a moment ago, was reduced to a charred husk in the next.
