Chapter 60: Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations, Vajra Indestructible

Among the Dongjiang Five Swords, Gu Xinru was the one who most supported joining the Nine Sword Alliance.

Of course, it wasn’t because of interests or anything of the sort; it was because Gu Xinru had fallen for Zuo Feiyu at first sight.

Gu Xinru came from a background as a Jianghu Loose Cultivator, and she had been surrounded by rough men since childhood.

Although the other members of the Dongjiang Five Swords treated her well and doted on her as their little sister, those four were each rougher than the last; one could only say they barely looked human.

Zuo Feiyu, on the other hand, was handsome and elegant, with a temperament as warm as jade. Despite his noble birth, he was courteous to Jianghu Loose Cultivators like them, which instantly captivated Gu Xinru.

So, while the other four were hesitating, Gu Xinru encouraged them to join the Nine Sword Alliance.

This time, she was also the most eager to kill Chen Yuan, hoping to put on a good performance in front of Zuo Feiyu.

However, she overlooked one point: no matter how well she performed, Zuo Feiyu would never take an interest in her.

She was several years older than Zuo Feiyu, and her appearance could only be considered ordinary.

Her skin had turned somewhat dark from years of wandering the Jianghu, though her figure remained tall and slender from practicing martial arts since childhood.

With such looks, Zuo Feiyu wouldn’t even look at her with his eyes closed.

Han Dong sighed and shouted sternly, “Move!”

As his voice fell, the five of them drew their swords simultaneously, attacking Chen Yuan from various angles.

The Dongjiang Five Swords had known each other for over ten years and shared a tacit understanding, maintaining an orderly offense and defense.

The six swords almost blocked all of Chen Yuan’s paths of evasion, with Sword Qi crisscrossing as they aimed directly at his vital points.

Two types of True Qi simultaneously surfaced around Chen Yuan’s body.

Golden Buddhist light and black Devilish Qi erupted violently, finally condensing into pure Tathagata Demon True Qi.

As the Azure Dragon Blood Drink was unsheathed, the blade hummed and vibrated. A blade glow of Devilish Qi transformed into a pitch-black silk-like arc that suddenly slashed out, letting out a sharp, explosive sound.

Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations, Demon Blade Slash!

This single slash possessed both the extreme speed of the Autumn Water Swift Hong Blade and the extreme destructive power brought by the overbearing Devilish Qi.

The Tathagata Freedom Demon Secret Canon could evolve into the Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations, allowing for Fusion with various elemental Martial Skills to enhance their power.

This strike was the Demon Blade Slash that Chen Yuan had comprehended after fusing the Autumn Water Swift Hong Blade with the Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations; its prowess was a level stronger than the original Autumn Water Swift Hong Blade.

A series of clanging explosions rang out as all five were forced back by Chen Yuan.

“What a villain! To actually Cultivate such an overbearing Demonic Technique!”

Han Dong’s expression changed slightly.

He was at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he was forced back by the opponent’s single slash.

This Chen Tian’s strength was simply too terrifying.

Chen Yuan sneered, his Surging Waves Internal Energy erupting as the Devilish Qi blade glow poured toward Gu Xinru.

Among the five, Gu Xinru’s strength was the weakest, being only at the Early Stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Feeling that terrifying Devilish Qi blade glow, Gu Xinru’s face paled. As she retreated, she thrust a thin sword in her hand rapidly toward Chen Yuan.

The sword glow was magnificent and brilliant, like a fleeting light or a passing shadow; it was actually a fast-sword technique.

But no matter how fast her sword was, how could it be faster than Chen Yuan’s Autumn Water Swift Hong Blade?

In almost an instant, the sword glow was submerged by the blade glow.

“Scoundrel! How dare you!”

The third brother, Situ Ming, roared. His blood energy suddenly erupted as a blood-colored longsword in his hand, carrying a fierce and murderous blood aura, went straight for the back of Chen Yuan’s heart.

His Flying Blood Sword focused most on offense; it could also burst with blood energy, and its speed was the fastest.

But at that moment, an extremely powerful Blood Fiend Force that made one’s heart tremble emerged around Chen Yuan.

killing intent origin, Blood Fiend Body Intrusion!

Chen Yuan, who was originally attacking Gu Xinru, suddenly changed direction in an instant to attack Situ Ming!

“Watch out!”

Han Dong’s expression changed, and the other two also wanted to provide support, but it was already too late.

The sound of the vibrating blade had just reached their ears when the slash arrived before Situ Ming!

Startling Swan Slash!

This Startling Swan Slash was already fast to the extreme, and with the addition of the Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations’ power, its prowess was incomparably overbearing.

Situ Ming roared as his blood energy erupted, but that surging blood energy was instantly suppressed by the Blood Fiend Force.

Compared to the Blood Fiend Force brought by the seven killing stele, his secret technique for bursting blood energy was undoubtedly like a flickering candle flame before the sun.

As the Startling Swan Slash fell, Devilish Qi and Blood Fiend intertwined. The blood-colored longsword in Situ Ming’s hand shattered instantly, and even his right arm was severed by Chen Yuan’s blade!

However, Situ Ming was also a man of fierce Heart-Nature.

Despite having an arm severed, he seemed not to notice. Instead of retreating, he advanced, using his left fingers as a sword. In an instant, his blood energy gathered, transforming into a one-foot-long blood-colored sword tip that pierced toward Chen Yuan’s Dantian!

A layer of pitch-black Devilish Qi appeared on Chen Yuan’s left hand. Fusing the Silken Thread Shattering Jade Hand with the power of the Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations, he instantly crushed the blood-colored sword tip.

Simultaneously, his arm wrapped around Situ Ming’s left arm like a pitch-black giant python. Blood Fiend and Devilish Qi erupted together, directly blasting Situ Ming’s left arm along with half of his chest and abdomen into shredded meat!

From the moment Chen Yuan turned to attack Situ Ming until Situ Ming’s death, it happened in the blink of an eye, like a hare leaping or a falcon swooping.

Han Dong and the others practically watched their brother die with their own eyes, yet they were helpless; their attacks only reached him now.

“Die!”

The sword movements in Han Dong’s hand were complex and vast, like the stars in the sky, with Sword Qi weaving and crisscrossing.

The second brother, ‘Giant Gate Sword’ Qi Ze, used a giant sword similar to Han Gang’s from the Yinshan Five Ghosts. When swung, it was like Mount Tai pressing down, possessing boundless power.

The fourth brother, ‘Yin Yang Twin Swords’ Song Qian, used a long and a short sword. The long sword’s movements were wide and sweeping, while the short sword was sinister and vicious, prioritizing sudden strikes.

Boundless Blood Fiend condensed around Chen Yuan as the calamity descended, transforming into a massive, ten-foot-tall handprint in front of him.

As the palm fell, that extremely overbearing Blood Fiend Force suddenly dispersed, directly sending Han Dong and the other two flying.

Among them, the slightly weaker Song Qian was even struck so hard he spat out blood, becoming heavily injured!

The Martial Artists watching from the surroundings were all horrified.

The power Chen Yuan displayed was so strong it almost didn’t seem like a Martial Artist of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artists could release True Qi externally, but most only used it around their weapons or fists.

This was done firstly to save Internal Energy and True Qi, and secondly because if True Qi was released too far, its power would weaken accordingly.

Chen Yuan, however, directly condensed a ten-foot-tall blood-colored handprint with this Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand, its power incredibly fierce as it blew three people away at once.

If it were any other Foundation Establishment Realm Martial Artist, never mind whether they could condense such a massive handprint, a single strike like this would likely drain all the True Qi in their body.

Chen Yuan gave the three of them a grim smile, but he did not continue to attack them.

Instead, he turned around and once again charged toward Gu Xinru, who was still reeling from the lingering fear.

Seeing this, the expressions of Han Dong and the other two changed instantly.

“Despicable!”

“Shameless!”

“Come at me if you have the guts!”

Han Dong and the others were Jianghu veterans who had experienced many battles and had rich combat experience.

They instantly realized why Chen Yuan was attacking Gu Xinru instead of continuing to kill them.

Although the power of that palm strike earlier was strong, it certainly couldn’t be used at will; otherwise, if he struck several times in a row, they would all be dead.

Therefore, Chen Yuan chose to continue targeting Gu Xinru, the weakest of the Dongjiang Five Swords, forcing them to come to her rescue and disrupting their rhythm.

In fact, whoever rescued her the fastest would be the first to die, just like Situ Ming.

Han Dong’s guess was close enough; that was exactly Chen Yuan’s plan.

However, he still slightly underestimated Chen Yuan.

Back when he had first stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chen Yuan indeed could only use the Blood Slaughter Great Handprint once.

But with Chen Yuan’s current strength, using it twice was possible, though the consumption of blood energy would be somewhat high.

Besides the Dongjiang Five Swords, Chen Yuan wasn’t sure if there were more pursuers behind them.

So after killing Situ Ming, Chen Yuan immediately used the Inner Landscape Divine Art to suppress his boiling and rampaging blood energy and restrain the Blood Fiend.

A sky full of blade glows fell as Devilish Qi surged and ravaged, forcing Gu Xinru into a wretched state.

Han Dong said in a deep voice, “Don’t let him influence you. Attack together and look for an opportunity to break the situation!”

But just as Han Dong finished speaking, Chen Yuan’s speed suddenly increased. The Azure Dragon Blood Drink directly knocked away the thin sword in Gu Xinru’s hand and tore a blood-flower from her shoulder blade.

Seeing this, the fourth brother Song Qian’s eyes instantly turned red.

Ignoring Han Dong’s words, his True Qi erupted to its maximum limit. He leaped and lunged straight at Chen Yuan.

Among the Dongjiang Five Swords, Song Qian was closest in age to Gu Xinru.

While the others treated Gu Xinru as a sister, Song Qian alone had some different feelings.

However, he didn’t dare to say it, fearing that if Gu Xinru rejected him, it would make things awkward for everyone in the future.

But seeing Gu Xinru injured now, he could no longer restrain himself.

“It seems someone really cares about you.”

Chen Yuan laughed loudly, the blade humming through the air as Devilish Qi swept out.

Myriad Heavenly Demon Manifestations, Demon Blade Slash!

Each of Chen Yuan’s slashes carried overbearing and treacherous Devilish Qi, with over ten slashes delivered in an instant.

Song Qian, however, directly burned his blood energy, dancing his longsword into a vast sword momentum to engage Chen Yuan in close combat.

But the overbearing and powerful force of the Demon Blade Slash directly annihilated the sword momentum in Song Qian’s hand, and even the longsword he held was subsequently shattered.

Song Qian did not retreat but advanced instead. A burst of black True Qi erupted from the short sword in his left hand, cold and treacherous, piercing straight toward Chen Yuan’s lower abdomen Dantian!

By then, Han Dong and Qi Ze had also arrived, the two of them attacking Chen Yuan from the left and right.

They all thought that Chen Yuan would definitely retreat under this attack, but who would have expected Chen Yuan to form a seal with his hand as a golden Buddhist light radiated from his body.

Immaculate Crystal, Vajra Indestructible!

The dazzling Buddhist light instantly extinguished that cold and treacherous black True Qi on Song Qian’s short sword.

The short sword was blocked by that layer of Buddhist light, unable to move forward another inch.

Chen Yuan kicked toward Song Qian. With the reinforcement of the Immaculate Crystal Vajra Sutra, Chen Yuan’s Physical Body erupted with an extremely startling power; this single kick directly exploded Song Qian’s head!

Then, the Azure Dragon Blood Drink slashed across, simultaneously meeting the two swords of Han Dong and Qi Ze.

With demon and Buddha as one, Chen Yuan’s strength was incredibly startling at this moment, allowing him to clash head-on with the two of them and even suppress them.
