Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 167 Change
In the Demon Saint Palace, on the stairs, the old blind man went up step by step.

With every step, the momentum becomes stronger, and the sword intent is like a huge wave, swallowing up everything between heaven and earth.

His soul became more and more transparent, as if it was unreal, and as if it had turned into a sword, an indestructible sword.

Nine Decays of Heaven and Man, every sword strike is the limit, and each sword is stronger than the previous one.

When the old blind man took a step forward, it was as if he had drawn a sword, but the sword force was still on his body. When he took the second step, the sword force overlapped, and his figure returned to its original state. As he moved up step by step, the sword force seemed to be restrained and disappeared.

"Ok?"

Many demons looked over there, something seemed wrong.

But in the next moment, the old blind man took another step forward, and the sword intent swept out. The Demon Saint Palace was razed to the ground in an instant. In an instant, the old blind man reached the peak again and entered the top of the seventh realm.

At this moment, he seemed to be the Zuo Canglan who once dominated the world.

All the demons felt that the next sword that was about to be unleashed would be the strongest sword, the sword that would allow the old blind man to return to the top.

Above the sky, a huge shadow of a demon fox loomed, with its nine tails raised, blocking out the sky and the sun.

In the sky, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes appeared, staring at the old blind man below.

"Li Shan, Li Shan, you only know how to slay demons and monsters. Are you humans the only ones who are alive, and the demons are not? We are both spirits of heaven and earth, so why are you humans so arrogant?"

A shocking sound came from the sky, as if it went straight into people's hearts. Those pairs of eyes seemed to lead the old blind man into a fantasy space and affect his soul.

Although the old blind man could not see, he felt that the space around him seemed to be distorted, and everything in the world was changing.

The Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, the strongest race of fox demons, possesses extremely terrifying illusions that can make people fall into them.

If it were an ordinary practitioner, he would be drawn into the illusion at first sight. But the old blind man was a very capable person. How could he easily enter the realm of illusion?

The old blind man did not continue to move forward, but flew straight up towards the Demon Saint. The sword intent that was suppressed to the extreme seemed to be hidden in that body.

In a flash, the figure broke through the space and arrived in front of the Demon Saint. The figure itself was the ultimate sword.

Just as the sword was about to fall, suddenly an extreme chill appeared, and the nine-tailed beast that was across the sky swayed, with extremely terrifying magic power emanating from it, freezing the world in an instant.

The whole world turned into a world of snow-white, and the Demon Saint Palace was frozen in an instant.

Li Fan stood in the void. He felt as if time and space had stopped. Then frost covered his body and spread throughout his body. He turned into an ice sculpture in the air.

Not only him, countless demons in the city also suddenly stopped at this moment.

The old blind man's body was moving forward in the same way, but the ferocious burst of sword intent was still there, breaking through the frozen world bit by bit and continuing to kill the Demon Saint.

"boom……"

Another tail swung, flames burned the sky, the sky turned red, fire and ice intertwined together, two different forces enveloped the city at the same time.

Then, the third tail; the fourth tail...

Every tail contains a kind of magical power.

The Demon Saint was still standing on the stairs, staring at the sword coming towards her. Her eyes became extremely strange, like a bottomless pit.

A tremendous sword energy descended, and behind her, the sword energy tore everything apart.

Above the sky, a huge fox demon swooped down and drilled directly into the soul of the old blind man.

"boom……"

In an instant, the old blind man seemed to have come to another world.

Under the moonlight, in the wilderness.

A group of fox demons were running, and in the distance, human monks were chasing them.

The fox demon clan continued to flee, and some of them resisted, but many fox demons were killed by humans during the resistance.

Several fox demons fled into the caves to hide.

But soon, humans found them.

There was another bloody massacre, and soon the entire fox demon clan was killed by humans, leaving only three fox demons alive.

The two fox demons transformed into humans. They were a couple. They walked forward and said to the humans, "We have lived here and have never eaten humans. Why do you want to kill us all?"

"Sky Fox." The human's eyes lit up, and one of them shouted coldly, "Monster, you deserve to die, there's no reason why."

"Why should demons die?" the female fox roared angrily.

"Because you are weak." The human said sarcastically and rushed forward to kill.

A fox demon couple fought a fierce battle with humans, buying time for a little fox demon to escape.

The little fox demon ran away frantically. Even when she heard her parents' screams in the distance, she still didn't dare to stop. She kept crying and running away, feeling miserable and lonely in the wilderness.

"You humans are arrogant and conceited, and so are the sword cultivators in Lishan, who claim to be righteous. For thousands of years, I have been working hard to become strong and lead my people to learn from humans. I want to make them as strong as you so that they can survive well in this world." The fox demon's voice sounded in the old blind man's mind, extremely sharp.

"So, let me see what's going on in the minds of you Lishan sword cultivators?"

The Demon Saint, whose true form is a nine-tailed celestial fox, is not only good at illusions and spells, she is also good at spiritual methods that can capture people's hearts.

The Lingtian Sword seemed to have fallen on her real body, but in addition to the power of ice and fire, there was also an incomparably vigorous breath of life in front of the Demon Saint, which was endless.

The demon saint's spirit seemed to have walked out as well and rushed into the old blind man's spirit.

In the outside world, Li Fan and the other demons saw an indestructible sword and an extremely huge shadow of a fox demon standing across the surface.

At this time, the fox demon entered the old blind man's spiritual world.

She saw a young man, full of vigor and talent, practicing swordsmanship in the mountains.

Because of his outstanding talent, the young man was placed with high hopes by Lishan and soon became the most outstanding among the younger generation in Lishan.

When the boy grew up, he went down the mountain to slay monsters.

He traveled all over the place, slaying demons and eliminating evil. His sword was stained with countless blood, and he also witnessed countless tragedies. Countless human monks died at the hands of demons and monsters. He slayed demons and eliminated evil, but found that the demons were inexhaustible.

The hearts of people in the world are unpredictable, and demons are rampant, causing no less harm than monsters.

He gradually matured and had his own ambitions.

He wants to enter the court.

The Emperor of Dali asked him how to save the world from the chaos it was in.

He replied that he would strengthen the power of the imperial court, win over the sects, formulate laws, and classify the demons. If the inclusion of demons does not violate human laws, they can coexist with humans. He would also educate the demons, so that the way of heaven would be in order, the world would no longer suffer, and peace would be ushered in for all eternity.

From then on, he served as the national teacher of Dali.

"Although there are some humans who are arrogant, the vast majority of humans just want to live a good life. Humans and demons have different paths and it is difficult to agree on the same path. This cannot be changed by human power. If I had to choose, of course I would kill all the demons in the world and bring peace to mankind."

The voice of the old blind man appeared in the Demon Saint's mind.

She was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The whole sky was filled with her laughter.

You are right, humans and demons have different paths, and it is difficult to agree on the same path. How can we force it?
It was destined from the moment they were born.

"Destroy."

A voice was heard between heaven and earth, and the old blind man's soul was shaken, as if becoming more illusory and shaky. Above the sky, the Nine-Tailed Fox was shaking, and tremendous magic power fell down and rushed towards the old blind man's body.

"kill."

The sword energy swept out, the ice and snow were cut off, the flames were torn apart, and the old blind man's soul shadow moved forward and passed through the body of the demon saint. The two figures seemed to cross each other and then stopped in place without moving.

The terrifying sword intent between heaven and earth gradually dissipated, the suffocating pressure also disappeared, the ice and snow melted, the flames dissipated, and the demons in the city were able to move again.

Li Fan also broke free from his previous semi-static state. He saw the old blind man's shadow turn into points of light and dissipate, then fly back into his body.

On the stairs, the Demon Saint lowered his head, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath rapidly weakened.

The old blind man moved his body, but in an instant he looked much older, with white hair and wrinkles all over his face.

"Good, good...what a great swordsman." The Demon Saint raised his head, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

As the lord of Yunmeng Lake, she was hailed as the Demon Saint, but she was severely injured at the hands of an old man.

Li Shan, Li Shan, even if she has practiced hard for a thousand years, is it still not enough?

Why can’t it match a hundred years of human practice?

"My Lord Demon Saint, I will kill these humans now." The same voice came from the void.

The demon saint shook her head, turned around, walked towards the ruined palace, and said, "Don't kill them, let them stay in Yunmengze."

"Yes, Lord Demon Saint." the voice responded.

The old blind man raised his head slightly and faced the direction of the Demon Saint Palace.

Only he and the Demon Saint understood the battle just now.

With that sword, he could have died together with the Demon Saint, but he chose to give up.

Although humans and demons have different paths, the great principles are difficult to agree on.

But human efforts may be able to change some things.
