"Blade Intent, this is the highest realm a mortal martial artist’s blade technique can reach," he thought. "The Blade Force enveloped his body, Blade Qi merged into the Sea of Consciousness, transforming into Blade Intent, metamorphosing from the level of ’Qi’ into the level of spirit and will—shocking the world and horrifying the public!"
This was also a necessary condition to become a Five-Qi Grandmaster, arguably more difficult than opening the twelve Heavenly Pulses.
The young human before him wasn’t old, and hadn’t even ascended to the Innate Realm two years ago. Yet within a mere two years, he had actually condensed Blade Intent? This left Wind Sun Moon in disbelief; what kind of monstrous talent was this?
Su Changkong’s eyes burst with blinding brilliance as he did not engage in idle chatter with Wind Sun Moon. What he had to do now was to strike him down on the spot!
"Chop!"
With one step, Su Changkong darted forward, employing his agile and swift Deer-playing Body Techniques to pursue the retreating Wind Sun Moon. His Iron-Cutting Sword, held aloft, came slashing down from above. This slash, like a silver waterfall plummeting from the ninth heaven, locked onto Wind Sun Moon’s every escape route, as if fated to connect with its target.
Wind Sun Moon’s hair stood on end, acutely aware of the fearsomeness of a Martial Arts Skill reaching the Intent Realm, capable of erasing an enemy from the levels of spirit and soul!
Even though he had merged with a mid-level demon monster’s Crystal Core, possessing an Immortal Body far beyond the likes of Zhong Yue, he dared not take Su Changkong’s Iron-Cutting Sword head-on. Injuries on the spiritual level were hard to heal even for a mid-level Immortal Body!
"Thwack!"
Su Changkong’s sword chopped down, splitting Wind Sun Moon’s body in two from the forehead. The momentum of his blade did not stop there, as it cleaved into the ground. Amid the ’crack crack’ of splitting sounds, the earth trembled slightly and a massive chasm, more than thirty feet long appeared in the snow, bottomless, as if it would divide the land in two.
But Su Changkong felt no joy, because his stroke had not actually connected.
"Sun and Moon Body!"
Just before Su Changkong’s Iron-Cutting Sword descended, Wind Sun Moon’s demonic power boiled violently, and his body split in two to avoid the stroke, transforming into two separate figures.
One figure was engulfed in fierce flames, burly and rugged in appearance, the blazing red fires causing the surrounding snowflakes and snow to rapidly melt away. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
The other figure was delicate and beautiful, slender, with an icy blue, chilling moonlight radiating from her form—cold and deadly!
It was Wind Sun Moon’s demon art, the Sun and Moon Body!
The demon art of a mid-level demon monster differed substantially in quality from that of a lower-level demon monster. This ability to divide the body was transcendent of Martial Arts, qualifying as demon art, even a weakened form of ’Divine Skills’!
The demonic power emitted by both the Sun Demon Body and Moon Demon Body boiled over like the sun and moon being born together, the sheer terror radiating from them enough to make one’s heart pound with fear.
Su Changkong could not afford to be careless. Initially, he had only faced the Sun Demon Body, and that was two against one, but now he was up against both the Sun Demon Body and Moon Demon Body—fighting alone against two. Any lapse in attention, and he might be the one to perish.
"Sun and Moon Seal. Sun Wheel Seal (Moon Wheel Seal)!"
The two demon bodies emerged, simultaneously flashing fierce light in their eyes. The Sun Demon Body’s right hand formed a fist seal, demonic flame raging, and all the intense fire and lava converged into this punch. Upon striking an enemy, it would erupt like a volcano, consuming everything.
The burning fist was like a fiery meteor, streaking across the sky, dominant and unrestrained!
Conversely, the soft Moon Demon Body struck out with a palm, chilling moonlight gathering at the tips of the fingers. Upon striking an enemy, it would cut like a blade, capable of tearing apart metal and stone.
Facing both the Sun Demon Body and Moon Demon Body was like confronting two highly skilled opponents with completely different Martial Arts Skills—a one versus two battle!
"Boom!"
Su Changkong’s Qi and Blood surged within his body, no longer suppressing his own aura. The phantom images of five Heavenly Pulses emerged on the surface of his body, connecting heaven and earth. The cyan Human Flower and the silver Earth Flower hovered above his head, and massive amounts of Spiritual Energy formed a vortex that gathered toward him.
Su Changkong wielded the sword in his right hand fiercely and tyrannically. He made a sweeping chop at the Moon Demon Body, while with his left hand, he combined the surging Giant Whale True Qi and Spiritual Energy into a palm strike that set off towering waves, with the sound of Furious Waves Slapping the Shore resounding incessantly in the void!
"Boom!"
When fist and palm collided, the wave-like palm force and the volcanic eruption of fist force explosively burst apart, fiery flames burst forth, and the surrounding earth shook violently. It seemed as if the fiery Qi had surged up from beneath the earth, skyrocketing into the sky, melting the accumulated snow!
And those overlapping palm forces were like surging waves, continuous and unending!
In the moment of collision, Su Changkong felt a demon flame capable of melting gold and dissolving iron spreading along his arm, threatening to engulf it entirely.
Hu!
But Su Changkong’s vigorous power churned, erupting with Turtle Breath Technique’s True Qi, forcefully repelling the demon flame attached to his arm like a Bone-Attached Maggot.
"Puff!"
At the same time, Su Changkong’s Iron-Cutting Sword collided with the lunar seal of the Moon Demon Body. The slash, carrying Blade Force and Blade Intent, tore open a deep, bone-revealing gash in its palm, nearly splitting it into two halves!
"My advantage lies in my Blade Technique, I cannot compete with him in fist and foot!"
After one collision, Su Changkong silently acknowledged, aware of his strength, which was the impregnable Blade Intent that could injure even the spirit.
"This youngster’s Blade Intent is too terrifying; even my Immortal Body cannot withstand it head-on!"
Wind Sun Moon also understood that he could not rely on his Immortal Body to trade injury for injury.
Hu!
In the palms of the Sun Demon Body and the Moon Demon Body, surging demonic power condensed. In the palm of the Sun Demon Body, a fiery longsword took form, forged and condensed from raging flames, while in the palm of the Moon Demon Body, gathered moonlight birthed a longsword enveloped in moonlight.
Wind Sun Moon had lived for many years, already reaching an advanced age of over a hundred years. Whether it was fist and foot Martial Arts or weaponry such as swords and sticks, he had dabbled in them all. However, in everyday combat against enemies, he never needed to use Martial Arts Skills; his powerful Immortal Body and Demon Art were enough to crush his opponents.
Facing an expert like Su Changkong, he had to go all out, to resort to ’technique’!
"Come on!"
Su Changkong roared, grabbed with his left palm, and drew the Flame Prison Blade he carried on his back.
This semi-finished Demon-Slicing Divine Weapon was the first time Su Changkong had taken it out to face an enemy.
The Iron-Cutting Sword in his right hand, the Flame Prison Blade in his left!
It was difficult for an ordinary person to multitask, but Su Changkong’s Five Animal Frolics had reached the 10th level, which meant turning intent into form – essentially multitasking. Dual-wielding swords, it did not affect Su Changkong’s performance in the slightest!
"Graow!"
Su Changkong’s Iron-Cutting Sword in his right hand slashed towards the Sun Demon Body, while his left hand’s Flame Prison Blade spewed out roaring flames, sweeping towards the Moon Demon Body. Eyes on the blade opened, excitedly screeching!
