Chapter 790: Sneaking in
The Great Sanguine Demon Technique from the Blood Imbibing Saber was a heaven-grade martial arts manual.
However, after studying it closely, Fang Yuan discovered that it was a demon summoning technique rather than Demon Arts!
The final goal was to wake up an Essence Soul! It was the Essence Soul of the Great Sanguine Demon!
This demon had invaded the world in the ancient past, but the Celestial Thearch Sword owner had defeated him, split his body into parts, and suppressed them. However, the demon’s realm was so profound that he was not annihilated despite his death. He had tempted Ou Zhizi to refine a Demonic Armament with his blood and bones and engrave the Great Sanguine Demon Technique into the armament.
Martial artists cultivating the Great Sanguine Demon Technique would unconsciously communicate with the Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul. They would then become his puppet or incarnation and work for his revival.
It was a pity that all the past owners of the Blood Imbibing Saber had bad luck, not managing to accomplish anything significant before their death.
“According to the words of the Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul, he didn’t come from the Mental Demon Realm nor the Spiritual Realm, but his realm has reached the level of Emperors and Demon Gods!
“Unfortunately, his body and soul were destroyed in that battle. The demon summoning technique merely calls back part of his Essence Soul, which has been dispersed from his broken body since time immemorial. It’s the last resort!
“Despite that, it’s perilous to collaborate with him. Nevertheless, I’m just an incarnation, so it’s all right for me to take the risk!”
With the dream-traversing technique of Dream Masters, an incarnation’s death would not cause much harm to the original body.
With that thought, he looked determined and released the restriction on the Blood Imbibing Saber.
“Damn it… I didn’t expect that this saber owner would be an extraterrestrial demon just like me! But with this kind of origin power… you’re a Demon Master from the Mental Demon Realm?!” the aggrieved Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul said.
“It’s good that you know. I’m just an incarnation sent here to explore the world and have many Demon Gods backing me!” Fang Yuan threatened him without hesitation.
“Hehe… I don’t need to learn about the Mental Demon Realm from you!” The Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul sneered. “But it’ll be extremely difficult for you to become a Demon God! The perfect Dao is always indescribable! Demon Gods must master their own Dao paths, and that’s far more difficult than becoming an Emperor in some worlds, who only need support from the heavens and the earth. The Celestial Thearch Sword owner is a prime example…”
“Is the Celestial Thearch Sword… very powerful?”
Fang Yuan’s expression turned solemn.
This Sanguine Demon was an Emperor from another world, but the Celestial Thearch Sword owner could still defeat him and split his corpse. It was evident that martial artists were extremely potent.
The Martial Dao at this level was hardly different from a Demon God.
“Of course it’s very powerful. The Top Ten Divine Armaments is merely a ranking… In fact, the Celestial Thearch Sword is more frightening than the other nine armaments combined! That’s because this sword is the authority of this world! When the Celestial Thearch Sword owner fought against me, he was supported by heaven’s will and backed by the force of heaven, earth, and man. Scary! It was extremely scary!”
The Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul sounded scared, but then he let out a weird laugh. “However, humans with this kind of great destiny and karma are extremely rare. The Celestial Thearch Sword owner didn’t end up well either since my Great Sanguine Demon Technique corrupted his Essence Soul. I’m afraid that he couldn’t have survived more than a decade after our battle!”
“If you’re so powerful, why does the Blood Imbibing Saber only rank tenth among the Demonic Armaments?” Fang Yuan rolled his eyes.
“…” The Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul paused as if he was choked. After a while, he roared, “The Blood Imbibing Saber is incomplete! Once you finish cultivating the Demon Arts and collecting all of my Essence Soul, even the top Demonic Armament, the Seven Slaughter Tiger Soul Saber, will be no match for it!”
“The ranking in the Ancient Armament Manual is acknowledged by the entire Pugilistic World…”
Fang Yuan shook his head.
The Armament Manual was written by an anonymous author, but it was comparable to any heaven-grade martial arts.
The Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art of the Divine Armament Mountain Villa, as well as the method of removing the seal and repairing the Demonic Armament, were both from this manual.
Even when Fang Yuan reviewed the Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art now, he had to acknowledge that its methods were commendable.
“Never mind the ranking for now. Based on your words, your amorphous and enduring demon body is apparently a treasure, so I can understand why the Jiang family kept a part! It just so happens that… Gu Qixing will battle with Jiang Li seven days later, so we’ll go to the Jiang family’s residence then. Your Essence Soul should be able to sense the location of your body parts, right?”
Fang Yuan nodded.
“Why go through all that trouble? Don’t you have the ability to kill the Jiang family and take it forcibly?” the Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul roared. “The power of the Blood Imbibing Saber will only grow when you kill them and absorb their blood. That’s how I can provide you with more assistance.”
“Forget about it! After that, do you want me to ruin my own reputation, expose my whereabouts, and get chased by the Orthodox Dao of the Pugilistic World?” Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. “I’m merely a Heavenly Phenomenon martial artist right now and can’t deal with a siege by numerous Divine Armaments. Besides… even if I kill everyone in my way, won’t the Celestial Thearch Sword appear again as the counterattack of this world? Although I’m deeply interested in this sword, I don’t want to see it now!”
“…” The Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul was speechless because that was how he had failed. “Are you really a Demon Master from the Mental Demon Realm? You’re different from what I expected… You’re so cautious!”
Fang Yuan shrugged and said casually, “I’m only an incarnation, and the most important thing to me is to succeed with minimal effort!”
…
Seven days later, Broken River Bridge.
The whole commandery had heard that Gu Qixing had challenged the Petal Rinsing Divine Sword. Many martial artists from nearby commanderies rushed over just to witness this grand event.
In fact, there would have been more martial artists if there had been more time to come.
The crowd blocked the Broken River Bridge on both sides.
However, only Gu Qixing was on the bridge, holding his sword with his eyes closed.
Rumble!
It was noon. The crowd suddenly became noisy and cleared out a path.
The Petal Rinsing Divine Sword—Jiang family’s patriarch, Jiang Li—walked forward elegantly. He had a philistine smile and cupped his fists toward all directions. Occasionally, he chatted with a few martial artists that he was acquainted with, just like a tactful businessman.
“Jiang Li, you’re finally here!” Gu Qixing opened his eyes.
Suddenly, white lightning glared in air. Iron Lion Ao Zhan was standing right behind Elder Jiang Li, but he did not dare to stare at it.
This person becomes more powerful as he fights. He’s indeed a formidable enemy for the Jiang family’s patriarch!
Ao Zhan felt pain in his cheeks. He lowered his head and clenched his fists.
“Little Brother Gu, I’m risking my decrepit body to respond to your challenge today. I hope that you won’t tear it up…”
The Jiang family’s patriarch walked onto the bridge and grinned, revealing his sparse yellow teeth.
“Old man, one of us will die today!”
Gu Qixing took out his sword fearlessly.
He had already forgotten about the numerous martial artists watching the battle, about his original objective, and even about the plan that the Amorphous Dao was probably already executing.
After all, he was going to confront a Martial Dao grandmaster.
If he was still distracted by thoughts, he would definitely die in this battle.
Chang!
The swords clashed like thunder.
Many martial artists were excited to witness the battle between the two top swordsmen.
…
The Jiang family’s residence.
This spacious place was the base of the Jiang family.
Although many family members had gone to watch the battle, the defenses were still tight.
With the Blood Imbibing Saber wrapped in cloth and wearing a conical bamboo hat, Fang Yuan blatantly walked around in the courtyards.
After all, even if he was discovered, they would suspect the Demon Sect, and it would have nothing to do with him.
“How’s it going? Have you found it?”
He did not have much information about the Jiang family’s residence, but the Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul on his back was the best sensor at navigating the residence for him. “Turn left! I can feel that we’re very close to it!”
The Jiang family’s treasure vault.
“Who’s there?”
The two guards equipped with swords detected the movement and looked at the gates. They relaxed when they saw the silhouette of a young lady. “So it’s Third Lady.”
The fair lady was in a green dress, just like a lotus leaf swaying in the wind. She laughed before saying, “Old Patriarch promised to give me two bottles of Hundred Flower Wine, so I’m here to take them!”
“Hundred Flower Wine? This wine is medicinal liquor that can counter hundreds of toxins and strengthen the body of a healthy person. Did the patriarch actually promise to give you two bottles of it?”
A middle-aged swordsman smiled and clucked, obviously acquainted with the young lady. “But the patriarch isn’t here today. How about coming another day?”
“Never mind…” She had a new idea immediately and said with a smile, “Uncles, I’ve brought some desserts for you to show my gratitude for your hard work. I’ll feel embarrassed if you don’t accept them.”
“Haha!” The two swordsmen exchanged glances. “Since you’re the one giving us the desserts, then…”
Thump!
Before they finished speaking, the meal box exploded and emitted a white fog.
“This isn’t good!” The swordsmen were shocked, immediately losing consciousness and falling to the ground.
“Hehe… No matter how shrewd you are, I can always catch you off guard!” She laughed like a fox that had just stolen a juicy chicken. While she hummed a tune, she searched the two swordsmen and obtained a dragon-shaped key.
“This is only half of the Double Dragon Key, and the other half is hidden by the family head, but how can that hinder me at all?”
Just like a magic trick, another dragon-shaped key emerged in her hand. She combined the keys and inserted them into the gates of the treasure vault.
Rumble!
The heavy iron gates slid sideways, revealing the Jiang family’s treasure vault.
But the young lady was petrified.
A man in white stood in the vault. He looked at the lady, looking like he could see through her mind. “The Amorphous Dao of the Demon Sect? I’ve been waiting for a long time!”
The demon girl felt that she was exposed to him from head to toe, unable to move under the invisible pressure.
…
“Here we are!”
As Fang Yuan climbed over a wall, he could sense how urgent the Blood Imbibing Saber was.
However, he only saw a small garden.
“It’s buried in the soil in front of you!”
The Great Sanguine Demon’s Essence Soul also felt a bit strange.
Fang Yuan walked forward and dug out a black rock. “Is this part of your body? A stepping stone to be trampled in the garden? And you said that your body was a precious treasure… Haha… Haha! Too funny!”
He burst into laughter, while the Essence Soul in the Blood Imbibing Saber was speechless in grief and indignation.
