Chapter 75

The scene of ten thousand swords descending from the sky, with the air filled with the glow of swords, was truly spectacular. Accompanying you to watch the meteor shower, falling on this graveyard... If it weren't for the somewhat unsightly final landing point, proposing to a girl on this rooftop would have been perfect, with an estimated success rate of at least 300% or more.

The sword glow converged into a golden river surging toward the entrance of the General's Tomb. The barrier at the entrance, which originally emitted a pale cold light, could not withstand such a powerful torrent of sword qi and was instantly shattered, without even a second's delay.

Sure enough, my previous worries were unnecessary. A small string of jade Buddha beads could not possibly stop the world's number one, the Sword Saint of Shu Mountain. Moreover, it far exceeded my expectations. I thought we would still have to fight our way into the General's Tomb to capture the Red Demon King, but now, looking at this situation, it's like a U.S. military operation, a complete long-range firepower engagement that can resolve the battle without any direct contact.

After the sword glow completely disappeared into the dark tomb, the surroundings returned to their original gloomy darkness, even the line of light that had split the sky was gradually swallowed by the re-closing black clouds.

The Sword Saint of Dugu took a deep breath and landed on the roof where Qi Feng was standing. Qi Feng noticed a slight sweat on the old Sword Saint's forehead, indicating that the previous move had indeed consumed some energy.

Qi Feng rummaged through his inventory. Oh, there was still half a pack of snow lotus seeds left from Yan Xiao's recent snack. Just right, he thought, and handed it over, "Senior, did the big move tire you out? Recover some mana, we still have the final boss to deal with."

"Hmph, such a small scene..." The Sword Saint of Dugu muttered as he took the small pack. He casually opened it, and upon seeing the snow lotus seeds roll out, he looked at Qi Feng in surprise, "You must be quite wealthy to casually hand over several thousand coins." But as soon as the words were out, he remembered how this kid had spent several thousand coins on a single incense burner to drive away the spider demons in the capital, truly treating money as if it were nothing.

Qi Feng didn't really understand the price levels in this world, but if the head of the prestigious Shu Mountain Sword Sect said so, it seemed that several thousand copper coins had considerable purchasing power in this world.

Sigh, of course, it was also possible that the Shu Mountain Sword Sect looked impressive on the surface but was actually quite poor. Thinking of the second-in-command of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect who was still floating in the river because he hadn't paid his wine bill, Qi Feng felt this possibility was not small. Perhaps he should visit Shu Mountain one day to see if there were any good things to trade for copper coins.

Qi Feng looked at the General's Tomb and was surprised, "Why is there no movement?" The grand spectacle of the sword move just now was impressive, but where were the after-effects?

"Just resting for a moment. Wait." The Sword Saint of Dugu swallowed the half pack of snow lotus seeds in one go. A cool sensation rushed through his mud pill palace and up to his purple palace, and he exhaled two streams of cool air from his nose, "Hmm, that's better!"

Qi Feng's face stiffened, and his lips twitched—had he really used up all his mana with that big move?

The Sword Saint of Dugu formed a sword seal with his hand and pointed it remotely. A burst of energy erupted from his body, "Go!"

Before the words were even finished, Qi Feng felt the ground beneath his feet shake. He quickly gathered his energy to steady himself and realized that the entire Black Water Town was trembling, rumbling loudly. Suddenly, several huge cracks appeared on the surface of the General's Tomb, and a red and yellow light flashed continuously from the cracks.

The cracks continued to expand, gradually merging into one, and then, with a loud boom, the entire tomb collapsed, turning into a vast pit at least ten meters deep. The pit was filled with a sea of blood, flowing wildly, and a pungent smell wafted through the air, making one feel nauseous even from a distance.

A voice erupted from the blood pool, "Who dares to disturb me? You have ruined my blood pool, which I painstakingly created... Roar! You are courting death!"

The Red Demon King emerged from the center of the blood vortex, towering over ten meters tall, with a face ashen, though it was unclear if it was his natural color or if he was angry about his lair being destroyed.

"Uh... Why does this line sound so familiar?" Qi Feng scratched his head.

The Sword Saint of Dugu glanced at the Red Demon King and sneered, "A mere demon dares to call itself a king. Surrender now."

"Hmph, with just you?" The Red Demon King floated out of the blood pool, appearing in an instant. The height of over ten meters was quite intimidating. Qi Feng looked closely and noticed it had no feet! It was truly an old ghost, no wonder it floated.

But with such a big move just now, would the old Sword Saint use another big move? Qi Feng moved closer and quietly poked the old Sword Saint's back, lowering his voice, "Cough, if you're out of mana, I have Heavenly Immortal Dew... Don't be stingy at a critical moment."

The old Sword Saint's face turned a bit red, "Just now, I was afraid this fellow would hide too deep, so I summoned a lot of sword qi at once, which consumed a lot of divine energy. Controlling the swords afterward didn't take much effort..."

Cough, you could have just said the first move was a bit too big. But for a master like you to make such a low-level mistake?

The Sword Saint of Dugu added, "I didn't expect the battle with the spider demon to deplete my foundation. The Thunder Spirit Pearl is indeed not an ordinary object from the mortal world; I underestimated it..."

I see.

"Then, after that big move, you're not going to summon another batch of sword qi...?" Although the Sword Saint of Dugu was one of the top experts in this world, capable of subduing demons as easily as drinking water, why did Qi Feng feel so uneasy and unreliable?

"Hmph, the sword qi gathered by my great power is not so easily dissipated." The Sword Saint of Dugu raised his left index and middle fingers, and specks of sword light floated out from the collapsed blood pool, converging into beams of light that gathered on the thin long sword in his right hand, re-forming the massive sword that reached the sky.

The Red Demon King clearly saw that his opponent was no ordinary foe and could not help but show some inner fear, "Who are you? To dare to cause trouble before the mighty Red Demon King?"

Hearing this, Qi Feng immediately felt at ease. This was clearly a sign of cowardice. After all, a demon that could be defeated by the three young heroes who had just started their journey, how could it stand a chance against the Sword Saint of Dugu? Although the old Sword Saint seemed a bit strained earlier, that was because he had used a big move to collapse the entire dungeon. Dealing with a boss should be a piece of cake.

Qi Feng dug his ear and said disdainfully, "Not to mention whether you are a self-proclaimed king, the Heavenly Demon King of the Ghost Realm is still being reformed on the back mountain of this old man. What are you, a nobody? Hand over the Earth Spirit Pearl and surrender, and you will be treated leniently."

The Red Demon King's ghostly body trembled, and before he could speak, the Sword Saint of Dugu leaped up, his massive sword sweeping across the Red Demon King's huge body, leaving a red glowing line.

"Quickly retreat!" The Sword Saint shouted, lowering his head.

Although Qi Feng didn't understand, he knew it was best to trust the professionals at such a moment. He gathered his energy in his legs, burst with great force, and shot out several dozen feet, running half a mile without stopping. He saw the Red Demon King's massive body instantly collapse, spewing a flood of blood that flooded half of Black Water Town.

The Sword Saint burst into a sword glow, turning the Red Demon King's body into ashes, and then floated down, "Hmph, this fierce ghost wanted to use the blood of the living to form a physical body. If he had completed this demonic art and combined it with the Earth Spirit Pearl, he would have been a formidable opponent. But now... Heh, his cultivation is not even worth a glance."

Qi Feng watched as the blood from the town flowed into the river, silently worrying about the drinking water problems for the people downstream in the coming days. But a few days of thirst was better than a zombie outbreak.

"Uh? Where's the Earth Spirit Pearl?" This was what Qi Feng was most concerned about. But he thought such an item wouldn't be damaged in battle.

The Sword Saint of Dugu raised his hand, and two spirit pearls, one brown and one yellow, floated in his palm, resonating faintly.

"Is the Red Demon King defeated?" Qi Feng asked.

"Ha ha, I never kill indiscriminately." The Sword Saint of Dugu shook his Bag of Holding, "He's in here."

Qi Feng leaned in and heard a commotion from the Bag of Holding.

"This is my territory! Who are you to dare to barge in and cause trouble?" "Ah? Ah! You crazy old woman, don't come near me!"

Qi Feng was speechless and shook his head silently.

Cough, you two are in such a state, why are you still fighting over territory... You'll be neighbors in the Demon Lock Tower for many years to come... (To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature for faster updates and better reading experience!)
