Night without Borders

Chapter 327 History is always surprisingly similar

Outside Huai'an Town, the Purple Lightning Beast was highly focused, watching the fierce battle unfold before suddenly sensing something amiss, as if a luminous object streaked across the night sky.

At that moment, the white owl beside her bristled with feathers, ready to join the battle.

The myna bird on guard duty widened its eyes, extremely nervous, and cried out in a trembling voice, "Princess, there's something on your head..."

It wanted to say that there was evil spirit, but in the end it was afraid and changed its words to: "There is a senior who is protecting you!"

Although this myna bird was not of high cultivation level, it had seen the world in the blessed land of the supernatural and knew that any creature that dared to travel in spirit must be a master.

Qin Ming said, "Don't panic, I came all the way from Yezhou, and we're all on the same side."

The Purple Lightning Beast's fur stood on end. Only now did it realize that after the streak of light swept across the battlefield and disappeared, it had silently landed on her head.

If the person who came had struck her with a sword, she would probably be decapitated.

Fortunately, this senior colleague was one of our own.

Qin Ming did not unleash his domineering Heavenly Light Force. Instead, he used his spiritual light as a "celestial skin" to disguise himself. Now, his whole body was hazy, as if he were standing in a divine moon.

His time was precious, and he didn't want to get entangled with this old friend as soon as they met. She had forgotten that they had fought side by side and crushed the bandits on a snowy night. She only remembered that she had once condescended to carry him twice through the Black and White Mountain region.

"Senior." The purple lightning beast and the white owl relaxed slightly after realizing that they were on their side.

"There is a celestial demon species in this area that wears five-colored lotus armor, but I haven't seen it?" Qin Ming asked.

The white owl said, "She didn't fight today; she should be watching from the rear."

"Then I'll go and kill her!" Qin Ming said.

The Purple Lightning Beast quickly intervened, saying, "Currently, no senior experts are entering the arena. If this balance is suddenly broken, the consequences will be unimaginable."

She explained that both sides have reached an understanding to allow a group of the most powerful geniuses to compete, which is equivalent to the future founders having a preliminary contest.

Qin Ming said, "Although I am of a higher generation, I am actually not that old. If I participate, no one will say anything."

He then corrected him, saying, "Don't call me senior, just call me Brother Qin."

The Purple Lightning Beast, the White Owl, and the Myna were all puzzled. When did such a celestial being appear in the Land Beyond the Mortal Realm? They had never heard of it before.

They believed that any immortal being who dared to travel in this way must possess extraordinary talent and come from a very powerful background.

However, the Purple Lightning Beast also had a strange feeling. Although it did not see the true face of the figure standing in the Divine Moon, it felt that something was wrong.

It must be said that her instincts were very sharp, and there was a sense of déjà vu.

But right now, she couldn't possibly connect this to the old friend from her journey to a new life who made her grind her teeth whenever she thought of him, and who had used her as a mount twice in a row.

Qin Ming looked into the distance. The three-tusked white elephant and the demon boy were locked in a fierce battle, with the elephant gaining a slight advantage. However, he was furious because the other party was wielding an ivory knife.

No matter how you look at it, the knife seems to have been polished from his fourth snow-white ivory.

Further away, a divine being was locked in fierce combat with a celestial demon, the two locked in a deadly battle, both bleeding and their armor shattered.

Further away was a familiar face—Luo Jingxiao, who was fighting a demon. He had probably parted ways with Helian Zhaoyu and Wei Cheng and had come here alone.

Clearly, he is still a passionate young man. Knowing that this place is extremely dangerous, with seed-level geniuses fighting and even divine beings already dying, he still dares to come to the rescue.

Recently, both sides have suffered casualties among their "seeds," with not only the divine seed dying in battle, but also the opposing celestial demon seed being killed.

The two sides are now fighting daily, which is not only a conflict between races but also a way to hone their skills. The recent battle casualties are not as bloody as they were at the beginning because there are powerful seeders watching from the rear and they will provide assistance if necessary.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Ming had learned a great deal of information.

Besides the contest of extraordinary talents, there were also regular bloody battles, with demons and human cultivators clashing fiercely on the front lines.

Qin Ming was about to step forward. Under these circumstances, as a seed-level young powerhouse, he should have no problem fighting.

He extinguished his spiritual light, disappeared into the night sky, and gazed across the distance, searching for the celestial demon clad in lotus armor.

As the chill of the season deepens, a silver butterfly flutters and drifts to a spot not far in front of the Purple Lightning Beast.

It transmitted its voice: "Your Highness, don't you really need to reconsider? We are all demons, why should you submit to others? It is the best time for you and your fathers to return to our side."

Although it was a secret transmission, Qin Ming intercepted it completely. How could such a thing exist? The demons were quite active in trying to win over the heretics in the Night State.

The Purple Lightning Beast secretly responded, "I've already said I won't consider it. The distinction between the so-called demon race and the human race isn't that clear-cut. At least our race only lost our ancestors by going down the path of mutation. It's not difficult for us to return to the human race. As far as I know, there are quite a few humans among you demons who went down the path of mutation, and it even involves the higher-ups."

Qin Ming was astonished that there was such a connection between the human and demon races. No wonder that when humans were unable to stop the giant beasts in the past, there were powerful beings of other races who helped them.

Silver Butterfly, of high status, spoke with a firm tone: “Princess, you should think this through. The tide is in our demon race's hands. This time, a god will personally lead the expedition, and soon he will breach the pass and sweep across the entire battlefield. The beautiful land behind you will completely change hands. I advise you to call the four-tusked white elephant and hurry back to explain the situation to your respective clan leaders.”

"Please leave!" the Purple Lightning Beast sternly refused.

Silver Butterfly threatened with a cold laugh, saying, "Don't regret it, because your blessed land will be stained with blood."

Then, it turned around, began to dance gracefully, and prepared to fly away.

The Purple Lightning Beast's body tensed, its eyes blazing with fire, and tiny lightning bolts appeared on its jade horn.

"Can you still tolerate this?" Qin Ming descended from the night sky.

The Purple Lightning Beast said, "It is a quasi-heavenly demon species in the third realm. I am still in the second realm and am no match for it. Moreover, there are two formidable characters on the other side. One of them is the woman you mentioned who is wearing five-colored lotus armor, and the other is the Demon Sword Immortal, who has killed the divine species guarding Taihe Town. He is extremely powerful."

"Hmm? These are all the demons I've been looking for!" Qin Ming immediately perked up.

Then, he flicked his finger, and with a "poof," the wings of the silver butterfly in front of him exploded, and it immediately screamed in agony.

In its panic, it dodged the terrifying sword light, but was already screaming in fright.

"Who dares to touch my people!" A demon roared from the horizon. Although they were far away and the demon was standing far behind, they could still hear Silver Butterfly's screams.

"So what if it's moved?" Qin Ming said.

Instantly, demonic energy surged from the opposite side, and sword energy soared into the sky. The one who spoke was the extraordinary demonic sword immortal, who was tall and straight, with long, flowing silver hair and sharp eyes. He charged forward with his sword in hand.

Beside him was a tall woman holding a long spear, wearing five-colored lotus armor, with a heroic and valiant air. She was the Heavenly Demon Seed that Qin Ming was looking for.

The Demon Sword Immortal spoke: "Very well, so your Purple Lightning Beast clan is determined not to turn back, is that it? I originally wanted to marry you as my Daoist partner, but you've chosen the wrong path yourselves."

The Purple Lightning Beast was furious. She had been subtly intimidated by the other party recently, but unfortunately, her cultivation level was still low and her clansmen had not yet arrived, so she could only endure it.

Now that she heard the other party threatening her in public, she was naturally very unhappy and wished she could immediately unleash lightning to strike that demonic sword immortal to death.

"Do you want to kill him?" Qin Ming asked. "Of course!" the Purple Lightning Beast replied.

Qin Ming said, "Trust me, then walk forward and wait for him to be beheaded, or you can do it yourself if you want."

"Okay!" the Purple Lightning Beast nodded.

The white owl's face stiffened; it was very worried and quickly followed.

After resting briefly in Taihe Town, Yuque flew back just in time to see Qin Ming's spiritual light perched on the back of the Purple Lightning Beast, heading towards the center of the battlefield.

It exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being the Mountain Lord! I was worried that he and Princess Zidian wouldn't get along well after meeting. But the scene before me is so harmonious. The princess willingly carried him to the battlefield. I admire the Mountain Lord to the core. He has already resolved his old grudges as soon as they met."

Autumn was in full swing, with yellow leaves fluttering in the air and the battlefield reeking of blood.

The dense woodland in this area had long been cleared away, stained with blood, and littered with broken horns, blood-stained feathers, and arms holding knives, a horrifying sight.

The Purple Lightning Beast was uneasy; two Celestial Demons were charging towards it.

However, Qin Ming remained calm.

Clearly, even the immortals in Night Continent who hadn't yet joined the battle were alarmed. Were these new reinforcements really that formidable? They were already going to fight the Demon Sword Immortal upon arrival.

Someone rushed over, fearing that Qin Ming would be blocked by two Heavenly Demons alone and suffer a great loss.

However, before the arrival of immortal and divine beings to provide support, a great battle had already broken out.

Qin Ming launched his attack ahead of schedule. He left the Purple Lightning Beast, pierced the night sky, and met the two Heavenly Demon species.

He had a feeling that he needed to finish this quickly. He could normally travel for an hour, but if he were to fight someone, the time would be greatly shortened.

"He... made his move ahead of time!" The people behind were shocked; this new recruit was indeed incredibly powerful.

On the battlefield, Qin Ming immediately used the "Sun Immortal Sword Technique". The moment he drew his sword, the hilt materialized in his hand, and then the sword body took shape. A large number of golden characters appeared, illuminating the entire night sky.

This sword technique is best suited for group battles. Centered on him, golden sword energy storms and characters surge forward like monstrous waves, one after another.

"They're using a sword!"

This demonic swordsman, a young man, was not particularly handsome, with a rugged appearance. At this moment, he was excited by the sight of his prey, his silver hair flying behind him, and his sword intent was incredibly astonishing, causing the temperature of the entire battlefield to drop.

He rushed forward first, but then his heart pounded and he regretted it. After truly experiencing the storm of sword energy, he immediately realized that this was an unparalleled enemy!

He swung his demonic sword, unleashing streaks of blood-red light. However, all the sword energy he unleashed was swept away by the massive golden storm from the opposite side.

Qin Ming frowned. This demonic sword immortal was truly extraordinary, having blocked his first wave of sword energy attacks.

In fact, the Demon Sword Immortal was struggling. A lock of his hair was cut off, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The opponent's sword intent made his mind tremble.

"Heavenly Demon Slash!" He unleashed his full power, his body blurring, and then hundreds and thousands of figures seemed to move, with layers of blood-red sword light following one after another, as if a swarm of demonic sword immortals were wielding their swords together.

Qin Ming remained expressionless and directly swung the golden longsword in his hand. He had originally intended to use the Sun Immortal Sword Technique, which was most suitable for group battles, and now he unleashed a sweeping attack with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the battlefield was filled with the sound of swords clashing. Golden characters mingled with sword light shattered the violent blood light emitted by the Heavenly Demon Slash, and those figures disappeared as well.

The Demon Sword Immortal had disheveled hair and bloodstains on his cheeks, deep enough to reveal the bone.

Qin Ming frowned. Using the Sun Immortal Sword Technique was quite taxing. He had already used it once in Taihe Town, and now that he was using it again, he felt that his time here would be shortened even further.

With a whoosh, he changed his sword intent, using the "Black and White Scripture," unleashing two completely different terrifying sword lights, one yin and one yang, with his left and right hands.

This is the true scripture that Chu Pianran, the direct descendant of the ancient immortals' dojo, invited everyone in Kunling City to comprehend. Qin Ming comprehended the first twelve pages and then gained some more insights at Black and White Mountain.

This scripture was one of the practices he valued most.

"What?" When the Demon Sword Immortal saw the sword light, his expression changed instantly. Gone was his former arrogance and confidence. With a strange cry, he turned and fled.

"What's wrong with you?" The woman behind her, clad in five-colored lotus armor, asked in surprise, somewhat puzzled.

"This is the legendary 'Black and White Scripture,' whose Yin-Yang sword light is specifically designed to destroy the Heavenly Demon Sword of my lineage. I cannot withstand it!" the Demon Sword Immortal replied.

Qin Ming pursued, the black and white sword light expanding outwards, becoming extremely terrifying.

During the brief encounter, the Demon Sword Immortal fought desperately, and then his head quickly flew off, spurting out a spray of blood.

Everyone was shocked. The powerful Demon Sword Immortal had been beheaded?

Qin Ming frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the Demon Sword Immortal reappeared not far away, and then used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels) to directly disappear into the ground and escape.

"Sword intent incarnate, take his place in death." The immortal seed said in surprise from behind.

"No wonder she was able to kill a divine seed. She's certainly skilled, and her escape techniques are top-notch." As Qin Ming spoke, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the woman wielding the spear.

He had to win her over no matter what.

As for the Demon Sword Immortal, we'll have to wait until his true form arrives.

Black and white sword light surged, and the Yin-Yang sword energy cleaved through the night sky. Qin Ming locked onto this Heavenly Demon Seed, unwilling to let her go.

At this moment, the woman clad in five-colored lotus armor was in dire straits. They had only just exchanged blows, and after receiving three sword beams, her spear was severed.

puff!
Blood was drawn from her body; her five-colored lotus armor was shattered, cut open by the black and white sword light. Half of the woman's body was stained red, indicating she had suffered a serious sword wound.

The demons were completely silent, shocked and then horrified. Where did this immortal being come from? He dared to fight two great celestial demons before even arriving in his true form, and even wanted to kill them.

puff!
In the end, this powerful and heroic female celestial demon was beheaded, her blood gushing out, and her headless corpse fell to the ground.

Qin Ming quickly followed up with a sword strike, two sword lights, one black and one white, rushed into his mental field, completely annihilating his consciousness.

"Please look after Taihe Town next door for me," Qin Ming said to the immortal and divine seeds there before leaving. Then, he transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Yu Que stepped forward with a joyful expression and said, "Princess, congratulations! That annoying demon sword immortal has fled in a sorry state today. I guess he will never dare to put on airs in front of you again."

It didn't mention Qin Ming, but it was clearly praising his achievements and highlighting his contributions.

The Purple Lightning Beast nodded, then asked, "Do you know who the expert who made the move is?"

Suddenly, Yu Que froze. Didn't the princess know the identity of the mountain lord? She was speechless. History seemed to be repeating itself for the third time, always strikingly similar.

I'll take a break this weekend and finish updating tonight. Thank you all, readers.
