Chapter 413: Chapter 131 Electromagnetic Sword Drawing Technique
The Devil God Sect was unlike other forces with meticulous positional distribution; its organizational structure could roughly be divided into two parts—the Great Venerable and others, emphasizing a pure naturalness.
The classifications of Devil God Sect’s experts in the eyes of outsiders were also all arranged by outsiders.
According to the ranks of third grade, fourth rank, and fifth-rank, they were divided into three levels, among which the members of the fifth-rank Devil God Sect were full of energy, constantly stirring up trouble to ascend in rank, and leaving their names in various places under heaven.
Among them, the nineteen most troublesome were known as the Nine Heavens, Ten Earths, Nineteen Demons and Gods, serving as the visiting card of the Devil God Sect to the outside world.
Originally, the Heluo God who attacked the Dinghu Sect was one of the Nineteen Demons and Gods, as were Da Feng and Zaochi, who assassinated the Lu King and indirectly caused a great drought. This tiny figure now appearing was also one of the Nineteen Demons and Gods.
This person looked like a child, seemingly only about seven or eight years old, with a delicately carved appearance, dressed in red clothes embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, exuding an aura of flames.
Among the Nineteen Demons and Gods, there was only one of this stature, and that was the Demon King—Holy Infant King—ensconced in the western part of Red Cloud Mountain in Liangzhou Province.
The Holy Infant King, holding a red spear, swaggered forward, his one-meter-tall stature exuding a ten-meter-tall aura.
"How dare you run wild in this Great King’s territory, you truly have guts," the Holy Infant King coldly hummed as he approached.
Zhong Wuqi turned and slashed with his sword; the needle-like Sword Qi tore through the approaching flames, and with a squint of his tiger eyes, he also coldly said, "This place is not Red Cloud Mountain."
"Can’t this Great King call the Four Seas his home?" the tiny child retorted. "Wherever this Great King goes, that place becomes my territory, and now this place is under my control."
While speaking, five small carts carrying raging flames charged from left and right, with True Fire blazing fiercely, burning dense Yin Qi and emitting a large amount of black smoke.
The set trap of evil spirits was immediately disrupted. Seeing this, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows, his Demon Cleansing True Qi drawing the impurities of heaven and earth, causing the Sword Light to cover itself in pitch-black hues, then abruptly gathered it.
In an instant, Jiang Li secretly applied the Thunder Technique, his robust body slightly crouching as if performing a sword-drawing stance, creating an invisible field around the sword, akin to a sword sheath. Then, the field transformed, and the invisible sword sheath burst forth with overwhelming power, propelling the Great Circle Sword from its sheath.
He implemented the way of all things profoundly through his technique, turning his body into an electromagnetic cannon, and why not the sword.
This sword was the Electromagnetic Sword Drawing Technique.
"Roar!"
As the sword was drawn, it roared like a dragon, pitch-black and obscure, like a sword light swallowing everything, tearing apart the space, whether it was Yin Qi or the scorching flames, all extinguished before the sword light.
This was a Sword Light condensed from the Five Vile Qi, driven by extreme forces. Zhong Wuqi was shocked; he had never imagined the gravely wounded "Li Qinglian" could deliver such a powerful sword stroke.
Ignoring the Holy Infant King who had intervened halfway, his eyes fiercely radiating a chilling light, he focused his Qi into the sword in his hand, his Heavy Sword lifting as light as a feather, swiftly positioning it in front of him.
"Clang!"
As expected of one who had once confronted the Taibai True Monarch, Zhong Wuqi managed to block the Sword Light with his sword in a critical moment. The sword power contained within the Heavy Sword prevented it from being eroded by the Five Vile Qi. His feet formed a bow stance, forcibly resisting this powerful sword.
"Boom!"
Under Zhong Wuqi, the ground cracked open, and countless rocks and debris were swept up by the Gang Wind, scattering in all directions.
Even the pitch-black sword light itself seemed unable to withstand such a collision, issuing a clanging sound before violently shattering.
"Clang!"
Zhong Wuqi inwardly exclaimed that this was bad.
The shattered sword light streaked to the sides, where it passed, all Qi dissipated, and Yin Soldiers that it touched were eradicated instantly. The disrupted trap of ghosts merged into a third force, rapidly corroding the surroundings with extreme speed.
Gang Wind whipped wildly, blasting apart the swirled-up rocks and remnants of the tavern, howling like ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
After that black wind, Jiang Li had again slightly leaned forward, crouching with his long sword returning to beside him.
Second sword!
"Senluo Hell Technique・Sword Mountain Sword Forest."
Seeing this, Zhong Wuqi forcefully rallied his Qi Mechanism, thrusting his long sword into the ground; blades rapidly emerged from the earth below the sword, swiftly spreading towards Jiang Li.
With an attack to counter an attack, speed to control speed.
Forcing out a move was to interrupt Jiang Li’s momentum, preventing his sword momentum from reaching its peak, hence making his next strike weaker than the initial one.
As expected, seeing the sword blades emerging from the ground, Jiang Li drew his sword again, his pitch-black Sword Light slashing through the blades, and the Five Vile Qi disintegrating and eroding, causing all the Yin Qi-formed blades to shatter completely.
However, the sword momentum had weakened by a third.
"Yang Spirit Ghost Martial."
With a light chant from Zhong Wuqi, two sturdy figures following him stepped forward, placing their palms on Zhong Wuqi’s back.
The Yin Qi filled with the essence of Yang infused into Zhong Wuqi’s body, causing his aura to surge.
But at the same time, the flames surged violently, with a spear shadow suddenly arriving, causing Zhong Wuqi’s complexion to change.
"Boom!"
True Fire exploded in front of them, scattering flames that licked and blasted the three ghost cultivators apart.
Zhong Wuqi forcefully endured the blow, shifting his position to avoid the Sword Light. At the same time, his figure plummeted downward, and the three were about to fall underground.
"Since you’ve come, why the hurry to leave?"
Jiang Li let out a cold laugh, the Great Circle Sword left his hand swiftly like a shadow, and in an instant, it pierced through the sturdy man beside Zhong Wuqi, nailing him and his body aloft in mid-air.
Shortly after, Zhong Wuqi and another big man disappeared into the ground, their presence swiftly fading.
’What a pity...’
Jiang Li felt a tinge of regret, a burst of strength exploded from beneath his feet, freeing him from the Clear and Turbid attraction. He soared quickly to mid-air, his gaze meeting with the ghost cultivator big man’s, as the shadowy Sword Light appeared simultaneously in both their eyes.
Had it not been difficult to keep his feet off the ground when drawing the sword, Jiang Li could have gone a step further, at least leaving Zhong Wuqi with something to remember.
However, what was most urgent now was to interrogate this ghost cultivator.
The Heart Demon Sword Intent directly invaded the mind, provoking his innermost thoughts, causing suppressed memories to begin surfacing. Jiang Li pointed a finger to the man’s forehead, harvesting a strand of memory with his Divine Sense.
"I must capture Li Qinglian to obtain..."
This thought had just surfaced in his perception when Jiang Li suddenly furrowed his brows.
His vision was suddenly shrouded in pitch darkness, within which an immense silhouette was approaching, three orbs of black fire in its eyes were flaring open.
"Earth Uncle!"
With no moment for surprise, Jiang Li decisively severed that strand of Divine Sense and rapidly retreated.
Simultaneously, the large man engulfed in flames combusted spontaneously, the pitch-black flames burst forth instantly, engulfing him completely and turning him into a fiery figure.
In just a short breath’s time, the man didn’t even have the chance to cry out before being burned to ashes as four streaks of light appeared in mid-air.
These were Dao Fruits.
They had directly manifested Dao Fruits...
Or maybe it was because everything about the person was burned away, causing the Dao Fruits, losing their attachment, to directly manifest.
The only one in the Yin Law Department capable of this, was the Clan Elder of the Ji Family, a third-grade reclusive old monster who housed a Third Grade Dao Fruit – Earth Uncle.
’Capturing Li Qinglian and not just the Lawless Freedom – it’s indeed for something on Li Qinglian’s person? It seems the Yin Law Department doesn’t necessarily believe that Lawless Freedom is Li Qinglian, using a suitable pretext to act, thus taking the opportunity to pin this dark blame on Li Qinglian.’
Thinking thus, Jiang Li reached out to grab the streaks of light.
However, at that moment, another hand reached out, snatching two streaks of light, leaving Jiang Li with only two Dao Fruits.
He looked towards the person who made the move, seeing the Holy Infant King also looking his way, saying, "Half for each upon meeting, since I did partake as well."
With that, he raised his hand, showing two ghost-like shadows in his palm, "Playing with two Dao Fruits isn’t too much, right?"
Judging their form, the two Dao Fruits were of the Ninth Grade Ghost Soul and Eighth Rank Ghosts.
Simultaneously, the two Dao Fruits in Jiang Li’s own hand transmitted information to him.
Seventh Grade Dao Fruit – Night Patrol Deity, Sixth Grade Dao Fruit – Day Patrol Deity.
Only the Day Patrol Deity could contain the Qi of Yang within Yin Qi, working in conjunction with Zhong Wuqi.
However, Jiang Li was now more focused not on the Dao Fruits, but on the Holy Infant King who had suddenly appeared.
His mind stirred, his hand turning, releasing two streaks of light very magnanimously, "Take them."
If it were Jiang Li himself, with his thrifty nature, he would certainly keep the Dao Fruits since he had once been poor, and was still a step away from truly becoming wealthy.
But if it were Li Qinglian, he wouldn’t care about these external possessions.
Thus, he very much respected the character design and threw the items out.
"Ha, quite generous."
The Holy Infant King didn’t hesitate, skillfully grabbing the Dao Fruits, and then took out four Jade Talismans from his robe, temporarily housing the Dao Fruits.
His quick hands were clearly those of an experienced practitioner.
"It wasn’t a waste for this Great King to come here specially to meet you."
