Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

Looking at the giant sword that pierced through the demonic dragon and stood majestically on the earth, a barely perceptible trace of solemnity flashed across Yama Hanba's indifferent and arrogant demonic eyes for the first time.

The aura emanating from this sword was completely different from any divine weapon he knew of in the Bitter Realm, giving him a vague sense of unease and solemnity.

"What kind of sword is this?" Yama asked in a deep voice, his arrogance lessened and replaced by a hint of inquiry and wariness.

Ye Jinming's lips curled into a cold smile. He pressed down with his left hand, and the giant sword hummed as it rose from the ground, spinning as it landed in his palm.

The sword is ancient and heavy, with dark and mysterious patterns flowing through it, and faint blood-red light flowing deep within the patterns.

"The sword to send you to your final moments!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Jinming's true energy surged forth like a river flowing backward, all of it pouring into the giant sword in his hand!

The sword suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light, and then he gripped the sword with both hands, pointed the tip downwards, and plunged it into the earth!

"boom--"

A powerful and vast energy surged outwards in a ring from the tip of the sword!

Wherever the energy passed, complex and mysterious golden array patterns appeared on the ground, rapidly spreading outwards!

"Stop the war! Activate the battle!" (War song should be played here)

With a clear shout from Ye Jinming, a surge of holy energy soared into the sky, echoing the array patterns on the earth and instantly forming a huge semi-circular golden barrier that enveloped Ye Jinming and Yanmo Hanba!

Within the barrier, the scenery changed abruptly, as if it had become a small world of its own.

Countless fine, yet incredibly sharp golden sword energies appeared out of thin air, seemingly possessing life, swirling and dancing within the barrier, emitting clear, melodious sword cries, completely isolating the inside from the outside, and creating an ultimate battlefield specifically designed to slay demons!

This sword is none other than Mo Kuang, and it is also the legendary "Demon-Slaying Sharpness" of the Nine Realms of Golden Light!

This sword was drawn by Ye Jinming before he went to Pingshan. It is composed of three elements: "Forbidden Blood Seal", "Weapon of Protection", and "Great Vow to Save the World".

Only when all three are combined can the supreme treasure that specifically counters the demon race—the Ceasefire Flowing Sword Formation—be activated!

Fortunately, the extracted items could be used freely; otherwise, even with Mo Kuang in hand, Ye Jinming would not have been able to activate the Demon-Slaying Sword Formation driven by the Blood Seal and the Great Vow of Salvation.

Although the Golden Light is slightly lower in level than the Thunderbolt, in terms of strength, the Yuan Evil Emperor is not much weaker than the Yama Drought Demon, so the Ceasefire Style can naturally restrain the Yama Drought Demon.

This is precisely the source of Ye Jinming's confidence to act alone and not even care whether Lian Emei cooperates!

As the sword formation dispersed, the light spread and the sword energy soared into the sky. The otherworldly demon lord, Yama Hanba, felt an unprecedented pressure.

The Zhige Flowing Sword Formation becomes stronger when it encounters a demon!

(The reason why Qiao Rulai is the number one expert in the Demon Realm is also due to its merits.)

Once the formation is activated, if the opponent is a demon, the sword formation will automatically draw upon the power of heaven and earth, its power inexhaustible and everlasting.

The power of the demon race is greatly reduced and suppressed in the face of Zhigeliu!

Yama, the Drought Demon, surveyed the golden sword energy swirling around her, her brows furrowed in anger. "What a strange formation!"

Although he didn't show it on the surface, he was even more surprised and suspicious. Although Yanmo Hanba's injuries had healed on the surface after his life-or-death battle with Lian Emei, he had still suffered considerable losses.

He was then attacked by the Candlelight Flameless Assassin and Night Ember Bright, and was wounded again.

Now that he is countered by the Zhige Flowing Sword Formation, he can only exert less than 30% of his strength!

As one side gains and the other loses, the situation takes a sharp turn for the worse!

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this 'surprise' specially prepared for you, Demon Lord?" Ye Jinming stood in the formation with his sword in hand, full of mockery. The golden light of the Mo Kuang sword flowed around it, resonating with the surrounding sword energy.

Before the words were even finished, the sword was already drawn.

Ye Jinming moved like lightning, his Mo Kuang sword flashing horizontally. What seemed like a simple and direct thrust was amplified by the sword formation, causing countless golden sword energies around him to move and transform into a dazzling golden torrent that rushed straight towards Yanmo Hanba!

"Roar!" Yama Hanba roared, its ferocity undiminished despite being suppressed!

Enma Aragami Slash unleashed its full power; although much of its demonic energy was consumed, it still revealed its domineering nature!

"clang--"

Mo Kuang and Huang Shen Zhan clash for the first time!

The sound of metal clashing resounded throughout the barrier, powerful energies collided, and golden and black energy turbulence raged wildly, causing the entire sword formation to tremble violently!

Ye Jinming swayed slightly, using the formation's momentum to deflect the force.

Yama Hanba let out a muffled groan as the ground beneath his feet cracked, forcing him to take a half-step back!

The difference in skill level is now clear!

After the first move, Ye Jinming did not stop. He brought his left hand together with his sword fingers and swiftly swept across the Mo Kuang sword!

As the fingertips passed over the blade, the crimson light within the dark gold patterns on the sword suddenly brightened, as if an ancient forbidden spell had been activated!

"Stop the War - Demon Break!"

A golden-red sword aura, condensed to its extreme and spiraling, burst forth from the tip of the Mo Kuang sword!

Knowing that he had fallen into an unprecedented life-or-death situation, Yama Hanba dared not hold back in the slightest!

He roared wildly, ignoring the sluggishness and stinging pain in the circulation of demonic energy, and frantically squeezed out the remaining demonic energy in his body, pouring it all into the Yama Desolate God Slash!

The blade erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling blood-red light, even faintly overshadowing the golden sword energy around it!

"The Ferocious God Slayer!"

A blade of energy, condensed with extreme ferocity and destructive will, fiercely met the attack!

With a deafening roar, the second move was exchanged!

The golden-red sword energy and the blood-red blade energy collided fiercely in mid-air, stirring up clouds of dust.

After the conflict, Yama Hanba let out a painful roar, "Ugh!"

Surprisingly, Yama, the drought demon, was outmatched. Both the demon and the sword were forced to stagger back seven or eight steps by the force, each step leaving deep, cracked footprints on the hard ground before it could barely stabilize its towering demonic body!

A wave of tingling and stinging pain surged through his arms that were gripping the knife, and demonic blood spurted from between his tiger's mouth!

Ye Jinming pressed his advantage relentlessly, his swordplay shifting once more, his movements elusive and ethereal, his voice echoing through the sword formation: "Stop the War - Star Stream!"

In an instant, the thousands of golden sword energies swirling within the sword formation seemed to receive a command and suddenly accelerated!

They no longer flew around randomly, but transformed into countless "meteors" trailing golden flames, shooting towards the Yama Drought Demon in the center from all directions, from above, below, left, right, and all sides, at all sorts of tricky and bizarre angles!

Each "meteor" is a sharp sword aura, overwhelming and unavoidable!

Despite being in a position of absolute weakness, Yama and Hanba remained calm and focused.

As a battle-hardened overlord of the demon realm, he knew that even a cornered beast would fight back, and he understood the key to breaking the formation!

Instead of directly confronting the attacks, he unleashed the Yama Desolate God Slash with impenetrable force, forming a blood-red sword curtain. He fought and retreated simultaneously, his crimson demonic eyes rapidly scanning every corner of the sword formation. His powerful combat instincts allowed him to quickly analyze the energy flow and structural weaknesses of this strange sword formation.

He's searching for the core of the formation!

Golden, flowing sword energy, like raindrops pattering on banana leaves, continuously struck the blood-red blade curtain, exploding into clusters of interwoven gold and black halos.

The Yama Drought Demon's defensive circle was shrinking, and several more bloody marks from the sword energy grazed its body, but its retreat was unhurried.

Suddenly, a sharp light burst forth from his demonic eyes!

"There it is!" He spotted a subtle stagnation in the flow of energy in the sword formation. It was the pivot point for the conversion between the output and return of the formation's power, and it was very likely the core of the formation or its weak point!

The opportunity was fleeting. Yama Hanba used the Nine Palaces Steps, twisting his demonic body at an incredible angle to narrowly avoid another wave of sword energy. His figure shot towards the target location like a cannonball!

At the same time, he concentrated all the remaining demonic energy into the blade of the Yama Desolate God Slash, intending to break through the formation by focusing on one point!

With a roar, the blade, imbued with the Demon Lord's last hope, pierced fiercely into the ground where the energy node stood...
