Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

In a fight of wits, a slight mistake can lead to a huge error.

It is naturally difficult for monks who rarely hover between life and death to adapt to such high-intensity combat.

One mistake would instantly push the situation into an uncontrollable abyss. The giant sword technique failed, and after Yi Jue knocked away three flying swords with one sword, there was a split second of time. During this gap, he quickly slashed the sword forward.

With just such a simple stroke, Shu Hongjing's neck was cut in an instant, and he didn't even have time to activate his defensive magic weapon. This was the attack between sword cultivators.

The flying sword is fast, the body sword is sharp, and the magic sword is unmatched in power, but no matter which kind of sword it is, it is not as effective as defensive talismans or defensive magic weapons in defense.

After Yi Jue's Seven Star Sword got close, he activated the Divine Wind Art, and the man was killed in the blink of an eye. There was no time to activate the defensive magic weapon.

Shu Hongjing covered his neck unwillingly, but he couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.

What he couldn't cover up was the vitality that was constantly slipping away.

Yi Jue did not wait for him to die, but struck him again with the sword, cutting off his entire head. In an instant, blood spilled into the sky like a fountain.

Afterwards, Yi Jue took the entire body away. At this time, a casual cultivator came to Yi Jue and pleaded,
"Lord Ziwei, Shu Hongjing is my friend. He knew that this battle would be disastrous, so he insisted on coming here."

"I beg the city lord to return the body so I can bury it."

Yi Jue looked up at the man and then said,

"A monk goes against the will of heaven and dies on the road. That is the best fate for him. He does not need a tomb or a grave to make people laugh at him."

The monk's face turned pale, then blue, and then he said,

"I am willing to pay a thousand spirit stones in exchange for Shu Hongjing's body."

Yi Jue looked at this person and said,
"What's your name?"

"What is the relationship with Shu Hongjing?"

The man immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but still told the truth.
"I am also a casual cultivator, my name is Zang Hui, and I have known Shu Hongjing for more than 200 years. We are considered close friends."

Yi Jue threw him a head and said,

"I can use the body, but I'll give you the head. You can get one thousand spirit stones, not a single one less."

Zang Hui quickly took out a thousand medium-grade spirit stones and gave them to Yi Jue, then ran away with the head.

At this time, a monk wearing a domineering cloak smiled and said,

"I never thought that the Lord of Ziwei City would be a Confucian cultivator who is willing to help others."

Yi Jue turned his gaze and looked directly at the person in front of him, then said,

"If it is the head of the Merciless Sword Master, and there are friends willing to pay a thousand spirit stones, I, Yi, will also trade it."

The monk in the cloak glared at Yi Jue, and then said,

"What a good Lord of Ziwei City! Keep your head for me." As he said that, he flew towards the arena below.

Yi Jue was not in a hurry to leave. This ruthless sword master was named Ding Jueqing, and his cultivation had reached the False Infant realm. Yi Jue had read this man's information. However, as the battles progressed one after another, people outside the field gradually started to set up odds and bet on the winner.

And this Ding Jueqing is one of the people with the highest chance of winning, simply because he has no weaknesses and has many strengths.

As soon as Ding Jueqing came off the field, he directly used his Jueqing magic power, and the seven demon kings in the late Jindan stage appeared directly on the field. Then Ding Jueqing summoned his own magic weapon, a mighty sword.

The so-called heartless magic power is to eliminate the seven emotions.

And Yi Jue's Six Desires Heart Demon Art is about cultivating the six desires.

Yi Jue's Six Desires Heart Demon Art gave rise to the Six Desires Heart Demon, which were finally carried by Moluo. Ding Jueqing's ruthless magic skills required him to cut off his own seven emotions with his own hands and cultivate into seven lustful demons.

Looking at these seven demons in the late Jindan stage, Yi Jue's heart became heavy. Ding Jueqing would be his toughest opponent in this championship.

Ding Jueqing, at the back of the arena, condensed into a golden dragon throne. Then he leaned on the dragon throne with a huge sword in his hand, and watched the battle between the Seven Emotions Demon Puppet and the opponent.

As if he realized that Yi Jue had not left, he looked directly at Yi Jue, pointed his long sword straight at him, and then held it horizontally, as if he was going to commit suicide, with endless contempt.

Yi Jue looked at Ding Jueqing, and then his gaze shifted to the seven demons. Theoretically, this shouldn't have happened, but in reality, such a scene occurred: seven late Jindan cultivators besieged a fake infant, but failed to win quickly.

In other words, this demon puppet in the late Jindan stage is a bit watered down, and its actual combat power should be around that of three to four late Jindan stage cultivators.

However, it cannot be denied that this time, Ding Jueqing's opponent's methods were not bad. Moreover, this Seven Emotions Demon Puppet was entirely controlled by Ding Jueqing alone. Although it was more flexible than a puppet, it still consumed his mind.

This is the fundamental reason why the full combat power of these magic puppets can be exerted. If Yi Jue were to control them, their combat power would be raised to another level.

However, spiritual consciousness has always been considered the most difficult to cultivate and improve. There are almost no truly effective methods of improving spiritual consciousness with no obvious side effects in the human world.

Yi Jue relied on the three great opportunities of the Controlling Heart Lotus, the Six Desires Heart Demon Art, and the Demon Luo to be able to possess the consciousness of the Nascent Soul stage in the late stage of Jindan.

Apart from Song Nian, Yi Jue had never seen anyone else with such spiritual cultivation.

But even so, the power of this magic skill is still unmatched. Even looking at the Zanpakuto in Ding Jueqing's hand, Yi Jue can sense the extraordinary nature of this sword. This is a sword cultivator who is far more powerful than Feng Tianyang.

A powerful monk who has his own understanding of the way of sword.

As expected, when Ding Jueqing saw that the seven demon puppet incarnations had failed to defeat their opponents for a long time, he flew up directly. With a flash of golden light, he instantly appeared above the head of the fake infant monk. He chopped down on the head with a knife, and directly chopped the monk away.

Then, the other demon puppet incarnations, together with Ding Jueqing, flew over and started to beat them up. The sword energy was everywhere, and the domineering sword intent was pervasive. Under Ding Jueqing's swordsmanship, the attacks of the seven incarnations were nothing but embellishments.

The fake infant monk's extremely powerful magic power released one spell after another, but none of them could withstand Ding Jueqing's long sword strike. With one strike, they disappeared into thin air.

In an instant, the monk activated several magical weapons in an attempt to make a last-ditch effort. However, roughness is Ding Jueqing's fighting style, which does not mean that his fighting wisdom is a blank slate.

After fighting and retreating to block the monk's first wave of attack, the monk's momentum was weak, then weakened, and finally exhausted. He had no way to break through Ding Jueqing's powerful sword attack.

After dozens of rounds, the seven incarnations, together with Ding Jueqing, chopped down the monk's protective magic weapon until it dimmed and his talismans shattered, forcing him to self-destruct one of his magic weapons. Only then did he have a moment to breathe, and then he admitted defeat and left the field. (End of this chapter)
