Chapter 219

Azure Wing Demon King suddenly halted in midair and instantly turned, brandishing his saber . A saber flash filled with bloodlust hummed as it blocked the flying sword .

“Master, save me! Save me!” Azure Wing Demon King contacted his master through his transmission treasure . His master was a fiendcelestial from the Boor Ancestral Sect .

“Save you? Where are you?” inquired the fiendcelestial .

“I’m at Azure Wing Gorge,” replied Azure Wing Demon King anxiously .

“Who is capable of killing you at Azure Wing Gorge?”

“It’s Qin Yun! Sword Immortal Qin is extremely powerful . I can’t even defend against him inside of my array formations . He must have stepped into the Dao! He has entered the Dao!” Azure Wing Demon King replied with a voice transmission hysterically .

“Qin Yun has stepped into the Dao?” His master was alarmed . “Are you sure?”

Boom!

Azure Wing Demon King already found it difficult to fend off the flying sword under the augmentation of his array formations . Now, with the flying sword attacking him outside, it was much faster, more unpredictable, and profounder than before . Azure Wing Demon King’s frantic strike from his saber missed completely .

A reverberating hum followed as the Seven Kills Sword directly tore through Azure Wing Demon King’s chest, ripping open a gigantic bloody hole . His bones and flesh were instantly pulverized .

“Thankfully I moved my heart away . ” Azure Wing Demon King was still reeling in fear .

“Boom!”

The Seven Kills Sword brushed across him once more, cleaving apart half of Azure Wing Demon King’s body . A portion of his flesh was ground into nothingness but soon, flesh and bone began to rapidly grow from his wounds, healing them . Although Azure Wing Demon King had moved his vital heart elsewhere to avoid the strikes, his lifeforce was being depleted rapidly . He knew that he would die from having his lifeforce completely drained after a few more strikes .

“Qin Yun, spare me! Spare me and I’ll tell you a huge secret . ” Azure Wing Demon King sent the Seven Kills Sword a voice transmission . As the attacks were coming in fast and furious, he had no time to vocalize it slowly .

“What’s the secret?” The Seven Kills Sword halted by the side .

“A treasure, a mysterious treasure,” said Azure Wing Demon King with a voice transmission . “It’s definitely not inferior to a first-grade Dharma treasure . It might even match a transcendent-grade Dharma treasure . “

“Speak . ” The Dharmic powers contained within the Seven Kills Sword sent Qin Yun’s voice transmission .

“You have to swear on your parents and wife’s lives that you will not harm me at all and let me off if I tell you,” said Azure Wing Demon King with a frantic voice transmission . “I’ll tell you only after you make that vow . If not, I’ll take it to my grave and that treasure will remain something you’ll never be able to find . “

“Boom!”

The Seven Kills Sword transformed into a dragon-like beam that flashed past Azure Wing Demon King’s body . This time, other sword flashes also inundated Azure Wing Demon King, shredding the heart he was carefully protecting . There was no other way for it to happen . The flying sword beam that Qin Yun cast was too large . It was a beam formed from hundreds of sword flashes and it was a hundred feet wide . There was nowhere for Azure Wing Demon King to hide his heart .

“No—” Azure Wing Demon King stared with widened eyes as his heart was shattered . “Does he not care about treasure at all?”

Azure Wing Demon King only knew that the jade bottle was odd but, in order to survive, he claimed that it was a first-grade Dharma treasure or a transcendent-grade Dharma treasure .

“You want me to swear on my family’s lives?” Qin Yun burned with killing intent . Azure Wing Demon King’s body began returning to its true form . It was a gigantic mantis demon .

…

Standing on the boat, Qin Yun, Yi Xiao, and Ao Xue looked into the distant horizon .

As they watched the mountain-like mantis corpse plummet to the ground, they felt a mix of emotions .

“This is the first great fiendish demon at the intent domain realm that I have killed,” thought Qin Yun . Previously, he had killed Temple Lord Ruyi and Valley Lord Windhark but they were only ordinary great fiendish demons . Apart from having weaker strength and life preservation means, Azure Wing Demon King was a fiendish demon at the same level as Nine Mountain Island Lord . He was one of the higher ranking ones among the Boor Ancestral Sect’s great fiendish demons .

“Great,” said Yi Xiao . “You did a great job killing him! Brother Yun, I wanted to kill this great fiendish demon after seeing how countless people and their families suffered under him . Unfortunately, I lack the strength . “

“Qin Yun, you are indeed a lot stronger than me,” said Ao Xue with a smile .

And on the other side .

In midair, The Black Turtle Palace cultivators were completely dumbfounded .

The massive mantis corpse left them in a daze .

“That Azure Wing Demon King has finally died?” There were even cultivators that teared up . “He’s finally dead . The… The day of his death has actually come! I always thought there would never be a chance for revenge . “

“The darn Azure Wing Demon King is finally dead . Haha, it’s great that he’s dead . “

“This Qin Yun is way too powerful . “

Azure Wing Demon King had wreaked havoc for more than a thousand years in the surrounding counties .

Many of the local cultivators had feuds with him! However, they saw no hope and had long abandoned the thought of seeking revenge .

“Impressive . Sword Immortal Qin cracked the array formation with overwhelming force . His flying sword barged through the array formation and caused Azure Wing Demon King to flee in panic . And before he could escape too far, he was rapidly slain by the flying sword,” said the goateed man wistfully . “With that strength, does it mean he has really stepped into the Dao?”

…

The Inspector Heavenly Alliance’s Heaven-Inspecting Mirror was constantly monitoring the world so the battle in the skies above the Cloud Prefecture’s Azure Wing Gorge was naturally detected by it .

“Oh?”

Inside the Heaven-Inspecting Mirror’s hall, two Daoists responsible for manning the area watched the battle scenes in astonishment .

“A flying sword barged through the array formation and in two or three strikes frightened Azure Wing Demon King enough to make him escape . Then he was killed before he could escape far?” The two Daoists looked at each other .

“Azure Wing Demon King is a great fiendish demon at the intent domain realm . He was at an utter disadvantage despite being in his lair . Could Sword Immortal Qin have stepped into the Dao?”

It was a very ordinary conjecture .

Although stepping into the Dao was very difficult, there were people who managed to do so every generation . For example, there was the human reverend from Mahākāśyapa Monastery before Qin Yun . There was also the great fiendish demon in the northern lands . Both of them had stepped into the Dao .

Instead…

Cultivating a purplish-gold Golden Core was much more improbable .

Of course, there were disparities among those who had stepped into the Dao . Many of those who stepped into the Dao grasped a superficial Dao, and that was relatively weaker . It was even difficult for some of them to condense an Essence Soul to become immortal .

If the Dao they grasped was powerful, it would be easy to become immortal .

For example, the Dao Elder Sword grasped was too powerful . If the lineage of sword immortals had a Dharmic formulation to condense an Essence Soul, Elder Sword could have rapidly become an immortal with his foundations! Even though he failed to become immortal, he was able to leapfrog a level and kill a fiendcelestial with his terrifying Dao .

“He reached the Paramount realm only a few years ago but he’s already stepped into the Dao?”

“Let’s quickly report the matter . “

The two Daoists did not dare hesitate any further . They immediately reported the matter to the upper echelons of the Inspector Heavenly Alliance .

******

“His Majesty is dead . “

“His Majesty…”

Many lesser demons in Azure Wing Gorge watched the gigantic mantis corpse plummet . They could not help but reel in shock before they scattered chaotically . They fled frenetically in all directions .

Whoosh . A flying sword rapidly returned with the treasures Azure Wing Demon King left behind from a distance away . On the way back, the flying sword disassembled into seven flying swords . Elder Sword’s Seven Kills Sword could transform into seven second-grade flying swords . Apart from the sword bringing the treasures back to Qin Yun, the other six flying swords swooped down to attack the tens of thousands of demons . They mainly targeted the great demons at the Connate realm .

“No good! The flying swords are coming!” The six flying swords attacked, and many of the once-cunning great demons were shuddering in fear .

Whoosh .

Six flying swords whistled over . As the array’s master was dead, the demon lair’s array formations were drastically reduced in strength . The six flying swords easily flew past great demons, robbing them of their lives .

About thirty seconds later, the six flying swords carried a pile of treasures to the boat . Qin Yun stood at the bow and easily stored them away . The six flying swords continued circling his wrist before transforming into a bracelet . The Seven Kills Sword was normally worn as seven beads .

“Strange . Among the treasures left behind by Azure Wing Demon King, the most valuable item is a second-grade Dharma treasure . ” Qin Yun secretly pondered . “But before, when he pleaded for mercy, he tried to entice me with the huge secret of a treasure that was not inferior to a first-grade Dharma treasure . It could even be a transcendent-grade Dharma treasure . When the six flying swords blasted through his lair, I did not detect any powerful treasures in the vicinity through my flying swords . “

“Xiaoxiao, I’m going up to take a look . I’ll be back in a while,” said Qin Yun to his wife .

“Alright . ” Yi Xiao was feeling very happy as she beamed .

Sou!

Qin Yun transformed into a beam as he shot straight for the demon lair .

“That Sword Immortal Qin is here!” Many demons were horrified .

However, Qin Yun landed on a mountain, where he observed his surroundings and released his sword intent domain to probe the area .

As he strolled around, he flew from one mountain to another, easily visiting more than ten mountains that surrounded the core area . His sword intent domain reached as far as a thousand feet and the shorter mountains were only a thousand feet tall or so . His sword intent domain could easily scan the major caves .

“There’s nothing . ” Qin Yun stood on a mountain’s peak and frowned slightly . “I can’t seem to find the powerful treasure that Azure Wing Demon King mentioned . “
