Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 447 The Demon Sword Xuan Ying
Since you've lost all face, there's no need for further words, let's start the fight!
"Soul-splitting decapitation!"

Seeing his opponent emerge from the formation to fight, Chen Xuantian no longer held back. He raised his hand and slashed, releasing his Dao power to unleash a blood-red blade. The crimson crescent moon, carrying a soaring blood aura, slashed towards his opponent's steamed bun head.

Cang Ming retaliated with a backhand strike, swirling his four-foot-two-inch Xuan Ying sword like a dragon, unleashing a pure black sword aura mixed with a biting chill that swept towards them, and shooting out a black ice spike.

"Oh!"

The blood-red blade and black sword clashed and shattered in mid-air, sending up a storm of ice shards and blood-red winds. Black ice spikes fell like hail, pounding into the ground.

With just this one move, Chen Xuantian realized that the Faceless Darkness, wielding a sword, was in a stronger state and his skill was definitely no less than his own. He couldn't be defeated with just one or two strikes.

Then let's make a few more cuts!

"Soul-splitting, soul-splitting, soul-splitting, decapitation, decapitation!"

Chen Xuantian slashed wildly with both hands, shifting his position with the Blood Shadow Divine Movement, transforming into countless blood shadows in the sky, while simultaneously cleaving souls and beheading, unleashing countless blood blades and releasing endless blade light. For a moment, the overwhelming blood blades almost engulfed Cangming!

"Bang bang bang!"

Unexpectedly, Cang Ming suddenly seemed to be divinely aided, wielding the Xuan Ying sword wildly. Each strike unleashed a black ice arrow, not only clashing with the Blood Blade's power but also exploding into countless snowflakes and ice flowers. The temperature plummeted, and the ground was covered with layers of black ice shards.

As more and more black ice gathered on the ground, the sword energy unleashed by the opponent also grew stronger. At first, the two sides clashed with their swords, and the situation was evenly matched. But in the blink of an eye, after dozens of moves, with each movement of the Xuan Ying sword light, the ice swords and ice streams on the ground seemed to come alive, leaping up with the sword momentum and charging like dragons and pythons!

It was as if Cang Ming wasn't the only one fighting; even the Xuan Ying Sword was constantly emitting a chilling sword aura, its sword power transforming into a dragon shape, chasing and tearing at Chen Xuantian! In an instant, not only did Cang Ming charge forward with his sword, but ice dragons from all directions also simultaneously surrounded and attacked Chen Xuantian! They were gradually gaining the upper hand!

"Boundless Void!"

Seeing this, knowing that a quick victory was not possible, Chen Xuantian immediately changed tactics. He flung his blood robe, which transformed into streaks of blood whip that danced wildly. He stole Canglong's signature move, the Xuan Kong Wuliang Sword, and used a variety of techniques, including dismantling, unloading, coiling, drawing, and dropping, while using the blood whip to restrain the pincer attack from Cangming and Binglong.

"Ping ping ping!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Suddenly, a black blizzard raged, swords flashed, and demons and monsters danced wildly, fighting so fiercely that even human figures could not be distinguished.

Chen Xuantian became increasingly alarmed and struggled more and more as the battle progressed.

After all, he had witnessed Cang Ming's abilities before. Although these Emei Daoists were indeed skilled, their power was still inferior to his. Logically, they shouldn't have been able to withstand three of his strikes. But now, they had exchanged more than dozens of blows, and the opponent was becoming more and more courageous and powerful. How could he have improved so much all of a sudden? This was not mystical at all!
The problem must be with that sword!

The opponent's power is mostly transferred to him by that sword! No, before this Emei disciple could still display some impressive moves, but now he's just relying on sword power to engage in brute force, without any skill involved. It's clear that the opponent has lent his body to the sword! That makes it simple!

"Discard your sword!"

As his opponent's power continued to grow, Chen Xuantian knew he couldn't afford to fight for long. He immediately launched a desperate counterattack! He had once again stolen Canglong's Boundless Void Profound Technique! Suddenly, he switched from defense to offense, transforming his blood-red robe into a crimson whip. With a flick of his wrist, it spiraled outwards! A series of swirling spirals rained down, a sea of ​​blood and shadows, real and illusory, as countless immeasurable blades and swords rained down upon him! Instantly, he broke through Cangming's sword encirclement and firmly bound the Xuan Ying Treasure Sword's blade!

Cang Ming naturally refused to let go, firmly planted his stance, and while struggling with Chen Xuantian to seize the sword, he also blasted a sky full of black ice towards Chen Xuantian's blood shadow!
"There's a flaw! The monkey is stealing the peaches!"

Seizing this opportunity, Chen Xuantian used Blood Shadow Swiftness to circle behind Cang Ming and followed up with a Soul-Splitting Decapitation! His blood-red hand grabbed towards Cang Ming's crotch!
To everyone's surprise, Cang Ming was caught off guard when his groin was grabbed, yet he showed no reaction whatsoever! He didn't even flinch! With a backhand flourish, the sword's power surged, tearing apart the countless threads of the blood-red ribbon! He broke free!
Huh? What happened? You didn't manage to steal it?

Chen Xuantian was quite taken aback and dodged aside to avoid the sword energy that the opponent was slashing back.

That's not right. His crotch was torn apart. How could he not feel any pain at all, let alone be cut in two?
Something seemed wrong. He had been hit hard, clearly damaging his Dao body, but there was no blood seeping from Cang Ming's wound. Instead, there was a pile of dark ice shards, as if a patch of ink had been spread out, making it seem as if what was wrapped under his Dao robe was no longer human flesh and blood, but a snowman formed from black ice.

When his first move failed, Chen Xuantian didn't hesitate. He turned and fled, using his Divine Speed ​​Blood Escape technique to escape several miles away and create distance once again.

Cang Ming did not pursue them. He still held Xuan Ying in his hand, guarding the cauldron. His sword power continued to rise, causing the wind and clouds to change color, and cold winds and frost to spread. Black snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

Something wrong

Something's off about this person.

Something's wrong with this sword.

This ice is even more strange.
If it were ordinary Xuanming Ice Shards, Dao Qi crystals, they would have been refined by the Divine Lord's Great Dao Body long ago. But now, with the overwhelming black snow and ice, Chen Xuantian couldn't refine them at all. In fact, the black ice impurities mixed into his blood would interfere with the formation of his Dao Body, making them completely unusable for tempering.

Chen Xuantian frowned, pondering what methods to use to deal with the situation.

"It seems that even you are no match for Emei."

Then, with a soft laugh, the Battle Cherry Optical materialized. She was seen squatting atop a mound of corpses and graves, rubbing the sharp blades on her claws like a cat watching a show while licking its paws.

Chen Xuantian snorted coldly.
"proceed if you can!"

Cherry smiled sweetly.

"I don't need that Blood Transformation Pill, but if you ask me for a favor, I might as well help you with a small matter."

Hearing her say that, Chen Xuantian suddenly had an idea and frowned, saying...
"Wait, you weren't after the Blood Transformation Pill? But the first arrow was clearly fired by you."

You were the one who showed up earlier, offering to join forces with me to deal with Emei.

If it weren't for seizing the elixir, why would you be chasing after Emei? Are you just messing with me? Or is it for…?

Cherry paused for a moment, then smiled calmly.
"Your Excellency is indeed shrewd. Indeed, we are not after the Blood Transformation Pill, nor even to deal with Emei. We are after that sword."

Cherry flicked her fingertip, displaying a holographic image, seemingly a satellite recording, showing the Xuan Ying Sword being held in the arms of the yellow-faced Daoist Cang Yun.
"Spring is Qingyang, summer is Zhuming, autumn is Baizang, and winter is Xuanying. The Xuanying Sword was originally a celestial palace treasure, a masterpiece crafted by the Imperial Workshop."

It was later stolen by the Demonic Sect and hasn't reappeared for thousands of years. My mission is to retrieve this sword.

"Oh, the Four Swords of Zhen Shi? A treasure of the Celestial Palace? Besides Frost and Snowfall, what else is there to them?"

"Shangfang swords are naturally top-tier treasures, and the Four Seasons Sword was a secret treasure specially forged according to the seasons and solar terms."

For example, the Xuan Ying Sword can draw upon the power of heaven and earth; as long as there is ice and snow, its sword power is inexhaustible, making it invincible in winter.

Seeing that Chen Xuantian seemed quite interested, Cherry quickly changed the subject.
"But that sword has been corrupted by the Heavenly Demon and fallen into the demonic path. Although the contracted sword master will greatly increase his power, he will also be possessed by the Heavenly Demon. It seems that the Emei sword has become a demonic sword servant puppet."

We implore your assistance in slaying this demon and sealing the demonic sword. Otherwise, given enough time, these demonic sword puppets will surely break through their limits, develop sentience, and become demon gods who slaughter the people!

Moreover, Your Excellency also knows that the divine pill refined the divine consciousness of countless Blood God's offspring. If it were devoured by this demon, it would likely give rise to supreme demonic consciousness, transforming into an uncontrollable, world-destroying, terrifying being!

Being urged by a demon to seal another demon—how strange… Chen Xuantian was speechless for a moment. However, having personally fought twice and experienced the tribulations of demons in other worlds dozens of times, he knew the terror of it. Once a demon went berserk and out of control, it could easily destroy or kill everything. So, without wasting time questioning, he directly asked…
"How do I get rid of him? My attack just now was completely useless."

Cherry raised her scimitar-like fingertips.

"Two strikes. I need to take a sample in the first strike to analyze the pathogen in the wet sample, and then inject the inactivated vaccine into it in the second strike to complete the inactivation."

Once the puppet loses its physical form, it's ultimately just a sword. I request that you restrain that celestial demon for me, creating an opportunity to strike.

At the same time, a bright red light shone forth, and from the Chaos Cauldron, like a volcanic eruption, a torrent of bloody breath shot out, a vast rainbow piercing the heavens and the earth.

Chen Xuantian also knew that they had reached the final moment of the pill's completion, and there was not much time left for him to think of a solution.

"Alright! I'm getting serious now!"

"I know you might not... wait, no, you're being so straightforward!?"

"Beep——!"

Believe it or not! Chen Xuantian has already made his move!

In an instant, the entire Liangdu mass grave exploded! A sea of ​​blood surged forth!
Yes, although it seems like there have been so many entanglements and setbacks, Chen Xuantian's Blood-Sucking and Soul-Devouring Technique has never been interrupted!

At this moment, he had refined and devoured the blood and souls of a million corpses in Liangdu!
The overwhelming blood pooled together to form a giant blood eagle, which circled and cried out in the sky!
The three Nascent Soul cultivators who had come over to look for an opportunity after seeing Dan Guang were all scurrying away in a flash when they saw how fierce he was...

"Emei's Darkness—!"

Hearing the Blood Eagle's shriek, Cang Ming suddenly turned his head, holding the Xuan Ying Sword in both hands and protecting the Chaos Cauldron behind him.

"Fuck your mother!!!"

The Blood Eagles shrieked as they charged forward, transforming into a vast, overwhelming river of crimson blood! A torrent of blood rain! Like the Gen River bursting its banks, it crashed down upon Cangming!

Cang Ming also thrust out his sword, the Demonic Sword Xuan Ying, unleashing its full power! Black ice and snow waterfalls, like hail and avalanches, transformed into a black ice dragon! They clashed head-on!

Black Dragon Blood Eagle! A powerful shot through the air! A passionate clash! No technique involved! All about raw power! It's all about determining victory! Defeat! And that's it!

"boom--!!!"

In an instant, the entire sky was stained black and red by the shattered icefall and the blood-red blossoms.

If even teammates can't react in time, the enemy will naturally be even less able to react.

And so, amidst the demonic light in the sky and the burial mounds on the ground, a scene resembling the end of the world unfolded.

Battle Cherry began her charge.

Lightning began to dance from her spine, coiled down her tailbone, slid across her thighs and arches, and finally flowed into her toes, creating golden-red lightning.

"boom!"

The swift and agile female leopard shot out amidst the thunder and lightning, instantly breaking through the sound barrier and tearing through the icy clouds and snow, transforming into a black-feathered death arrow that struck Cangming squarely in the back!

A single strike landed! Then, the monomolecular blade, which had been deflected from between the arm shafts, instantly sliced ​​through Cangming's arms!

"Ow—!"

Just as they were fighting the waves with all their might, at the critical moment of life and death, Cang Ming was suddenly severely injured. He could no longer hold on, and his bun-like head split open with a bloody maw, letting out a miserable scream!

"boom!"

The next instant, crimson light swept in, overwhelming everything! Black ice, alchemy cauldrons, swords, and figures were all swept away by the raging river of blood! The royal palace was instantly submerged in a torrent of blood and gore!
"Bang!"

The Chaos Cauldron has been overturned!
A burst of red light filled the air, and the aroma of elixir filled the air! A pill the size of an egg, crimson red, like a luminous pearl, tumbled out of the cauldron with a "clink" sound!
"Ow—!"

Cangming leaped out of the blood, its mouth full of bloody fangs, using both hands and feet to bite at the divine pill!
"Snapped!"

Then a bloody hand lashed out and slapped Cang Ming's chin away.

"Wow."

When Cherry emerged from the sea of ​​blood, she saw countless blood-red hands, towering like a forest, resembling a vast expanse of red coral.

One hand held the divine pill, two hands held the precious sword, and seven other things had already cleaved Cangming into eight pieces, firmly binding him in mid-air.

Chen Xuantian slowly walked out from behind her, his blood-red robe trailing on the ground, encompassing the entire river of blood in the city.

Cherry raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"You're quite decisive, but couldn't you have easily dealt with him yourself? Was it really necessary to be so cautious?"

Chen Xuantian remained noncommittal, observing the sword held by the blood-stained hand from afar.

"Get on with your errand."

Cherry shrugged, jumped up, extended her index finger, and tapped the struggling and howling Cangming on the forehead, instantly turning into a puddle of black mud.

"The Heavenly Demon is destroyed."

Then she opened her mouth and spat out a black spherical ball, which stuck to the Xuan Ying sword like chewing gum. The ball quickly expanded, completely encasing and sealing the four-foot-two-inch blade in the black molten adhesive. She then removed the sword and stuck it to her back.

"Monster Recycling".

After finishing these tasks, Cherry turned her head and looked with great interest at Chen Xuantian, who was scavenging trash in the blood swamp.

"Hey, interested in doing some odd jobs?"

Chen Xuantian pulled the broken sword from the mud, touched the tip of the blade to the Blood Transformation Divine Pill to confirm that no remnant soul of the Blood God Child remained, and then tossed it into his mouth.
"You have to pay more."
