Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 15: The Power of Demon Suppression
Although the black-armored demon cultivator had already died, before he died, with Lu Qingshan's deliberate letting him go, he still spread the words "some human cultivators are attacking the city."
Following his warning, many seventh-grade demon cultivators with extremely powerful auras rushed out from the buildings in Yumo City. There were seventeen of them in total.
When they rushed out, they happened to see the huge body of the black-armored demon cultivator falling to the ground, and three sword lights shot up into the sky and wandered in the air.
"It's a human sword cultivator!" These seventh-grade demon cultivators were all furious.
Since when did the human race’s sword cultivators dare to attack us?
"How brave!"
"Kill him! He must be killed!" The crowd was outraged in an instant.
In the eyes of these demon cultivators, not causing trouble for the human race is already giving the human race enough face.
As a result, the human race did not know how to cherish and even came to us on their own initiative. Did they think that their Yumo City was easy to bully?
How can this be tolerated?
"But... where is the person?" At this time, a seventh-rank demon cultivator with wings on his back, born in the Feather Demon lineage, looked around and realized the key issue.
Yeah? Where are the people?
After being reminded by the seventh-rank demon cultivator of the Yumo Clan, the other demon cultivators also reacted and looked around, but found that they could not see any human sword cultivators, let alone a single hair of the human race, within their field of vision.
Oh, that's not the case.
At least you can still see the three flying swords controlled by Lu Qingshan.
In the moment of their brief conversation, three sword lights swept across the city and killed the last few sixth-grade demon cultivators on the city wall.
This made the seventeen seventh-grade demon cultivators extremely angry, and their eyes almost turned red.
"Stop!" The demon cultivator from the Feather Demon Clan who had happened earlier was the first to lose control. He flapped his wings behind him, and his body turned into a stream of light in the air. Using his wings as blades, he slashed straight towards the dark blue sword light transformed by Wangchuan.
clang!
The wings collided with the flying sword, making a metal collision sound that was extremely harsh and loud.
On the other side, there was another demon cultivator with green demon patterns all over his body. In his hand, a huge bow almost as tall as his body suddenly appeared. He shouted angrily, "Come down!"
The magic patterns on his face glowed strangely at this time. There was also a green light shining on his hands, and he pulled the bow instantly.
The bow was perfected, and powerful force flowed into the giant bow through his hand and gathered on the arrow, which was extremely powerful.
"Wind Demon Arrow!" The demon cultivator who was drawing the bow exerted all his strength and released the bow.
boom!
The next moment, the arrow flew out, spinning rapidly, with a miniature tornado wrapped around it.
It didn't look like an arrow, but rather like a tornado with irresistible force, rushing straight towards the dragon bird that had turned into a blazing red sword light.
The Dragon Bird is very fast, but its arrows are also not bad, and it seems to have locked onto its target. It can even perform various difficult moves such as turning and twisting like a flying sword.
"Yuan Lie's Wind Demon Arrow is ranked among the top three long-range attack methods in our entire Yumo City!" Seeing this, the other demon cultivators were full of confidence.
The seventh-grade magic cultivator who shoots arrows is Yuan Lie. He is not an ordinary seventh-grade magic cultivator, but a strong seventh-grade magic cultivator whose combat power has reached the level of a primary magic commander.
In the clouds thousands of miles away.
Lu Qingshan used his heart as his eyes and his sword as his observation of the situation.
With his mind's eye, although he could not see the various scenes around his natal sword as clearly as with his naked eyes, he could feel the existence and breath of the demon cultivators like a radar scan, and of course he could also sense their moves.
In his mind, these existences were like red dots of varying sizes, moving and changing rapidly.
He also sensed it the moment Yuan Lie shot out the Wind Demon Arrow.
"This arrow is extremely powerful, it's not easy to resist!" Lu Qingshan said in his heart.
With a quick estimate, he could feel that if Longque resisted this sword, he might really be stopped by these demon cultivators.
Of course, this was not because Yuan Lie was really that strong, nor was it because he was too weak. The main reason was that he was attacking the enemy from a distance of nearly a thousand miles.
It looks handsome, and indeed it is handsome.
But there is one drawback that cannot be ignored.
That was the flying sword that was so far away from him that he had no way of supplying it with energy.
In other words, this kind of long-range attack is actually a one-shot deal. The moment the flying sword is launched is when its power is the strongest.
From then on, as long as he didn't recall the flying sword, the power of the flying sword would continue to decline.
Because, whether flying or killing enemies, it requires the power contained in the flying sword.
However, due to the distance being too far, the flying sword could not get any energy replenishment from him, and it was like water without a source.
Therefore, after successively killing dozens of sixth-grade demon guards and a seventh-grade black-armored demon, the power contained in the Dragon Bird is now only three or four percent left.
Not to mention whether he could compete with Yuan Lie's powerful arrow. Even if he could, he would probably have little strength left after the fight and would not be able to return, and would be left in Yumo City.
This is also the reason why, although the mind seems so powerful, it is not considered a famous swordsmanship in the Sword Sect.
Firstly, it is difficult to repair, and secondly, the effect is really useless.
It only increases attack distance, but not attack damage.
Even if you really cultivate a flying sword that can fly thousands of miles, if the sword master's own cultivation is not deep enough, it is possible that when the flying sword flies thousands of miles to reach the enemy, it will have very little power left and become as weak as an embroidery needle.
Furthermore, you must understand that a flying sword is not a one-way ticket.
——In addition to attacking, sufficient strength must be retained for "returning home".
Apart from this long distance round trip, how much strength can be used for attack?
If the Yuanli is not strong enough and the cultivation is not deep enough, even if the mind is cultivated to an extremely high level and the range reaches ten thousand miles, the sword cultivator would not dare to easily strike the enemy from ten thousand miles away.
In addition, to the enemy, when a sword cultivator uses his mind, they can only see the sword but not the person himself. But isn’t it the same for the sword cultivator?
Being too far away from the flying sword, the sword master was unable to replenish the sword's energy in time, resulting in too many uncertainties.
Once any accident occurs, the sword cultivator's natal sword may be intercepted thousands of miles away, and at such a long distance, the sword master will be powerless to save it.
Therefore, many times, the actual effect of the mind's eyes is more reflected in breaking the illusion of "the mind's eyes are unobstructed and can see through all dharmas".
"It's almost time to lure the snake out of its hole." Lu Qingshan said secretly, and at the same time, a thought moved.
In the sky above Yumo City, the three sword lights that were looking down upon the world suddenly flashed and made clanging sounds. They actually turned into a swallow in the air and fled backwards together.
The tornado formed by the Wind Demon Arrow was extremely fast and chased after the flying swords, but it was still not good enough compared to the sword cultivators' flying sword skills, which were the fastest among the entire human race. There was no way it could catch up with the three flying swords that were retreating at full speed.
"Chase! If you don't see anyone, just chase the flying sword. The flying sword will definitely fly back to its owner in the end." Yuan Lie gritted his teeth and said sternly when he saw this scene.
"Could it be a trap? It looks like it was deliberately designed to lure us out."
"It's okay. Qi Wu is not here. He will be in charge of vigilance. If the human race comes prepared and has a large number of people, we will be able to discover it early and retreat in time." Yuan Lie said.
"Don't worry, I'm here." The demon cultivator named Qi Wu responded confidently when he called his name .
This was a strange demon cultivator with four eyes. The other two eyes were gray and the pupils could not be seen, but there was a flash of gray light in them.
He is a demon cultivator whose innate ability is reconnaissance.
"That's right. Qi Wu is here. There's nothing to worry about. Let's just chase him first."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, this flying sword is so fast, if we don't catch up quickly, we're going to lose it!"
The seventh-grade demon cultivators finally had no more scruples and used various methods to fly into the air, chasing the flying swords towards Lu Qingshan.
While chasing and killing, these demon cultivators were also secretly shocked.
Judging from the situation, no more than three sword cultivators will launch the attack.
With such a small number of people to attack the city, and assuming that no eighth-level monks will be deployed in the siege , isn't this just seeking death?
Also, when did human sword cultivators become able to control flying swords to attack from such a long distance?
"No matter what, we are guarding Yumo City. If the human race dares to provoke us and act so rampantly in our city, it would be a great shame if we don't kill them. If this gets out, we will be laughed at by people in other cities!" Yuan Lie said viciously.
Seventeen seventh-grade demon cultivators were all trying their best to catch up with the flying sword.
There is no doubt that they could not catch up with Lu Qingshan's flying sword, and they could not even reach one-third of its speed.
However, the flying sword was flying in the air at such a fast speed that the tail light it left behind and the residual airflow stirred by the air were clearly visible and could not be eliminated in a short time.
All they had to do was follow the trail.
A passing wild goose leaves traces behind, not to mention a flying sword as ferocious as a "missile". Wherever it passes, it will inevitably leave traces.
This is the law of nature, and even Lu Qingshan cannot avoid it.
However, at this moment, he had no intention of concealing the trajectory of the flying sword.
This is the fishing line.
With the speed of a flying sword, a distance of a thousand miles can be reached in just a moment.
In a moment, the three natal swords returned to Lu Qingshan, circling around him like swimming fish, extremely happy.
Seventeen seventh-rank demon cultivators transformed into seventeen streams of light in the air, streaking across the sky outside the Yumo City like seventeen thunders and lightnings. The formation was extremely terrifying.
Lu Qingshan was not at all flustered and waited quietly for their arrival.
After all, they are seventh-grade magic cultivators. Their speed may not be as fast as that of a flying sword, but a distance of a thousand miles is really nothing to them.
"Yuan Lie, I only sense the presence of a human swordsman." When they were still three hundred miles away from Lu Qingshan, the demon cultivator named Qi Wu had a faint light flickering in his gray eyes.
"Those three flying swords seem to have come from the hands of the same swordsman." He added.
"A swordsman? Attacking the city alone?" A dangerous light flashed in Yuan Lie's eyes, and at the same time, a hint of fear emerged.
Either this person is very skilled and bold, or he has a problem with his brain.
On the battlefield, if you want to live longer, you must not underestimate any enemy.
Therefore, this swordsman must be a man of great skill and courage!
The situation was strange. Although Yuan Lie did not retreat, he was still worried and immediately sent a message to Yumo City to request support.
"I hope I'm just overthinking it."
Finally, after a moment, Lu Qingshan's figure came into their sight.
"It's him?!"
When the demon cultivators saw Lu Qingshan from afar, they all exclaimed in surprise, surprised that he was a human being and also surprised at his young age.
"Let me test him!" Yuan Lie's face was extremely heavy, and the giant bow appeared in his hand again.
"Wind and thunder double kill!" This time, he used his killing move directly when they met, and the demonic energy in his body rushed out and was consumed crazily.
Normally, he would save this kind of trick for the finale, but the current situation was too strange, he was really worried, and decided to use a ruthless trick to test the opponent.
boom!
The strong wind and thunder surrounded the arrow, which provided a double boost, making his arrow much faster than before, and its power increased exponentially, flying straight towards Lu Qingshan.
Facing a junior demon commander and a lineup of sixteen seventh-grade demon cultivators, Lu Qingshan, whose cultivation level was only at the sixth level, was not afraid at all.
Seeing Yuan Lie's arrow coming towards him, Lu Qingshan just snorted coldly, and the dragon bird hovering beside him immediately flew out to meet the arrow.
The arrow itself is easy to resist. After all, it is just a consumable and cannot compare to the Dragon Bird, which is a Taoist weapon. Therefore, the arrow is instantly annihilated and turned into powder.
However, as the arrow turned into powder, its power suddenly exploded, with wind and thunder colliding and crashing into the dragon bird.
The dragon bird shook, its spiritual light flickered, then it disappeared and fell downwards.
The power of wind and thunder still remained, and it continued to rush forward.
But at this time, another dark blue sword light came up.
This is... the River Lethe.
The thunder was everywhere and extremely fierce.
Above the Wangchuan River, sword lights flickered, and a sense of extinction permeated.
The true meaning of nirvana.
Sizzle!
The first effort is strong, the second is weak.
Feng Lei, who had already fought a round with Longque, finally ran out of strength and was annihilated into nothingness when facing Wangchuan who came with the true meaning of annihilation.
"Although it's very powerful, that's all." Yuan Lieyao felt confident instantly when he saw that his killer move was blocked.
He admitted that being able to block his fatal move with a flying sword was indeed extraordinary.
But it is merely extraordinary, by no means powerful enough to be unmatched, and certainly not to the point of being a trap to kill them.
"I was worrying too much." Yuan Lie said to himself.
"Charge!" He put aside his worries and shouted.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
After receiving the order, the other demon cultivators finally let go and rushed towards Lu Qingshan.
“There is no such thing as early, middle and late stages in the demon clan. After the ordinary seventh level, there is the primary demon commander, so the power gap between the two is extremely large. In fact, the combat power of the primary demon commander is already equal to the middle stage of fusion of the human race, and it is not just an ordinary middle stage of fusion, but a powerful middle stage of fusion…” Lu Qingshan said secretly in his heart.
In other words, he just now used the two swords, Longque and Wangchuan, to block the attack of a demon cultivator with the combat power of the middle stage of fusion.
The combat power is ridiculously exaggerated, but also reasonable.
Not to mention his Nine Dragon Meridians, perfect Taoist foundation, his soul realm spirit, and his Taoist weapon, his natal sword, just talking about the passive damage increase, it has already been stacked to an extremely exaggerated level at this time.
[Birth Sword] 90% increased damage + [Entrapment] 30% increased damage + [Sword Affinity] 15% increased damage, the triple superposition, now as long as he uses sword skills, the basic damage bonus has reached an astonishing 135%.
This is the terrifying damage-making ability of sword cultivators in the middle and late stages, a terrifying profession that was praised by players in the previous life as a "mobile turret."
"However, with my current combat power, I will be almost there once I kill all the seventeen demon cultivators in front of me." Lu Qingshan has a clear understanding of himself.
Although he has many special moves, most of them consume extremely high amounts of energy and cannot be used too often. "After all, he needs to save his energy before leaving. If he squanders all his energy and is stopped by a demon cultivator, it will be bad."
Lu Qingshan was unwilling to take this risk.
But this time it was obviously not enough for him to kill a primary demon commander.
His target was the two city lords of Yumo City.
Therefore, he cannot consume too much energy in the process of killing these demon cultivators in front of him.
It seems difficult, but since he dares to come, he must be confident.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two seventh-grade demon cultivators who were the fastest and were about to rush towards his face.
One demon cultivator turned into lightning, and the other demon cultivator was covered in wind.
These are the Thunder Demon Body and the Black Wind God Body, two types of divine and demonic bodies known for their speed.
The seventh-grade demon cultivator who cultivated the Thunder Demon Body held a spear in his hand, with the tip of the spear pointed at Lu Qingshan, and a ferocious smile on his face.
The demon cultivator who cultivated the Black Wind Divine Body held a scimitar, and the blade flashed like blood, slashing towards Lu Qingshan's neck.
"Die!" the two demon cultivators shouted viciously.
Facing the attack from both sides by the two demon cultivators, Lu Qingshan suddenly chuckled.
"You are the ones who will die." He said softly.
The next moment, a bone-chilling chill arose in the hearts of the two demon cultivators.
Suddenly, a black light flashed in Lu Qingshan's right hand, which was empty before.
Under their horrified gaze, thick demonic energy was lingering, and a dark black sword was already in Lu Qingshan's hand.
What kind of sword is that?
It seems like a prehistoric behemoth, or like a bottomless abyss.
In short, they felt an aura from the sword that made their souls tremble.
"Seven Wind-Slaying Skills!" Lu Qingshan swung his sword, and the sword light flashed with black demonic energy, and then swept towards the two demon cultivators in front of him.
The sword that suppresses demons.
[Demon Breaker] (Passive): The damage this sword deals to demons increases by 100%.
It is a 100% increase in damage to demons, not a 100% increase in sword skill damage.
This means that his damage increase at this time is not 235% (135% + 100%), but 270% (135% × 2).
A powerful passive skill comparable to Xia Daoyun's legendary talent [One Sword of Frost], a terrifying passive skill that becomes stronger in the later stages!
Tear!
The two seventh-grade demon cultivators who had already cultivated into divine and demonic bodies, their strong bodies that they were proud of, were like paper in front of Lu Qingshan's sword. They were cut directly in half, and the huge wound was hideous and terrifying.
In just a blink of an eye, the two demon cultivators who were so ferocious a moment ago had now turned into four pieces.
The sky was raining blood.
The other fifteen seventh-grade demon cultivators were horrified and suspected that the scene before them was an illusion.
Lu Qingshan did not stop, but rushed forward with sword in hand.
This is his confidence.
If he had previously only killed people of the same level like butchering dogs, then now with the help of the Demon Suppression... killing an ordinary seventh-grade demon cultivator who did not have the combat power of a Demon Commander was just a matter of one sword.
The power to suppress demons is so terrifying.
The sixth realm kills the seventh level as easily as chopping melons and vegetables!
