Chapter 1406: Chapter 668: One Fell Swoop

Emei Cang Wu!?

As the saying goes, "A cowardly act is disgraceful, a hero values valor, vengeance is swift, and blades are unsheathed over a drink." Tie Dan, with his reckless bravery, possesses an impeccable memory when it comes to holding grudges.

So the first thought crossing his mind wasn’t how the Mystic Sect vanished or where Emei emerged from. Instead, he recalled the bitter defeat at the hands of that bastard, who once ambushed him with a sword and took his life. If it weren’t for Xuantian and Kun saving him, he’d have been wiped out like a monster. Furious, he wished he could charge forth, return the favor with a sword, and behead Cang Wu to vent his rage.

What? Weren’t parallel worlds supposed to be separate? Damn it, not exacting revenge makes one less noble! Besides, this guy’s showing up, clearly here to steal the kill! Who’s going to be polite with him!

However, before the Sword Rainbow could break through the demon horde and strike down, the creatures were already in chaos.

Perhaps five hundred years is too brief. Suddenly seeing the Sword Immortal came to raid them, it seemed to activate the ancient memories suppressed and dominated by a severe father. The beast herd was terrified, the demons scattered, howling and wailing, wanting to burrow into the ground.

And when someone crashes in, interrupting their gathering and mocking them, the leaders within the caves naturally can’t lose face. They immediately appeared to face him. It was like a volcanic eruption, magma splattering, flames soaring into the sky. "Boom boom" detonations echoed, and sweeping hot waves extinguished, a volcanic eruption indeed, launching eighteen meteor fire pearls, united like brothers, wrapped in fiery flame winds, charging towards the Sword Rainbow to confront.

Thus, with a volcanic eruption, demonic power splattered, magma rolled forward, forcing the demons to flee in panic, the scene descending into chaos, pushing and squeezing against one another, utterly chaotic.

Seeing this, Tie Dan had no choice but to endure temporarily, enveloping himself in a shroud of Death Qi for protection. He landed on a rock to avoid the lava, casually grabbing some oblivious trash trying to crowd him, standing amid the fire sea, his eyes gleaming Divine Light, watching the celestial and demonic battle in the Sky Dome.

It must be said that the Daoist refinement of this parallel Cang Wu is quite solid. Judging merely by the Sword Rainbow’s scale, he’s still in the Nascent Soul Realm, and compared to five hundred years ago, his True Qi hasn’t significantly increased. However, the intensity and purity of the Qi pressure have greatly improved. Clearly, he’s endured another lightning split, his Daoist cultivation more advancing and solid, the sword light refined to utmost density. Thus, as soon as he declared his house call and spun in mid-air, by the time he reached the doorstep, he’d slaughtered all demons encountered along the way.

Those eighteen Dharma Kings surely knew they were strong and powerful, their Demon Qi reaching the sky. Yet, their opponent didn’t retreat and instead charged in head-on, raiding them. Either he’s brain-damaged and suicidal or confident in his skills. They didn’t dare be careless, immediately going all out, forming a Red Evil Great Array on the spot. Eighteen fireballs scattered like little suns across the sky, shooting fireballs, fire pellets, fire pearls in relay fashion, bouncing them back and forth. In a blink, launching dense streams of fireballs, igniting the sky in a dazzling meteor fire rain.

It must be said, these monsters really put in effort. Often, even when demons attain the Dao, possess gigantic forms, and limitless Power Qi, they lack a fireball. However, given the Mystic Sect Daoist Sutra, it’s different now. Although Tie Dan immediately saw this Continuous Fireball Formation the fire monsters displayed was clearly an introductory game taught by Mystic Sect to train the child disciples, for practicing Qi Manipulation Skills and array positioning, akin to juggling, passing, and dodging balls.

Nonetheless, these demons studied diligently, followed routines, relying on their God and Demon nature, innate Fire Manipulation talent, utilizing their lifelong cultivation power. They remarkably developed this little game into tremendous might, able to control dozens of fireballs per monster, with each fireball condensed with Divinity Transformation Level explosive demonic power. If launched together, it truly becomes a meteorite fire rain, carpet bombing with the force to topple mountains and demolish cities. If faced with those Xiao Xuan Sect disciples who’ve never played ball with their masters as kids, they’d struggle against it.

Yet Emei Cang Wu dared single-handedly wield his sword, breaking into the Demon Cave, challenging the Eighteen Demon Kings and announcing his presence first. Now he seemed to pause slightly, waiting for the demons to organize their formation and accumulate their pass-and-receive balls before turning the Sword Rainbow to shatter the array, completely ignoring the Dharma Kings’ refined Bouncing Ball Array...

"Swish!"

Alright, it’s fair not to care, as the Sword Rainbow thrust forward, golden light piercing the Sun, instantly extinguishing a blazing sun on the spot. Consequently, dozens of fireballs lost control, plummeting into the forest, "boom boom boom boom boom!" A succession of chaotic explosions erupted, mushroom clouds soaring, blasting demon limbs and fragments everywhere, accompanied by their miserable shrieks.

And the Dharma King, tragically slain upon first encounter, fell headless and lifeless from high altitudes, the human skin consumed by fire entirely, bones and flesh violently tore apart and expanded, like a blood-flower blooming in the sky. Upon crashing to the ground, the massive beast body exposed, skin peeled and cracked, only the head rolled to the other side of the mountain, unable to reveal its original form. Judging by the legs, it seemed to be an ungulate, perhaps some kind of bovine creature...
