Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 475 - 420: One Sword, Slashes the Primordial Spirit!
"Incurable!"
Upon hearing the words "so what" from Su Nan’s mouth, Gu’s gaze instantly dimmed as he slowly shook his head.
He knew that his old friends, with whom he had spent countless years, would never return.
"Eh? Isn’t this little fellow..."
Shifting her gaze downward, Su Nan’s eyes landed on Qi Xiu, who was still in a state of law comprehension. A glimmer of sharpness instantly emerged in her pale pink pupils.
"This aura... It can’t be wrong... it’s Primordial! Is this child the [Primordial] of this generation?"
Upon hearing Su Nan’s murmured whisper, Gu’s expression suddenly turned ice-cold.
This old hag is truly seeking her own death.
Detecting the murderous intent in Gu’s eyes, Su Nan showed not the slightest hint of fear, but instead grew more excited.
Gu’s reaction was effectively a confirmation that this child was indeed the [Primordial] of this generation.
"Hehehe, who would’ve thought that I would come across such a rare and divine treasure," Su Nan chuckled behind her hand as she gracefully moved towards Gu and Qi Xiu.
"Gu, hand over the child, and I will let you leave. You know I never lie," Su Nan declared.
"Su Nan, if you dare touch this child, Junior Dongfang will have you imprisoned in Lei City for eternity, never to reincarnate."
Backing away step by step with Qi Xiu, Gu covertly signaled to the Qianjiang Gushu nearby to prepare an escape route.
"Stop looking at me; this Universe Space has been sealed shut by the old hag, so I can’t open it either," lamented the Qianjiang Gushu with a woebegone expression, spreading his hands in helplessness. If he could have escaped, he’d have done so already; as a Soul Law Spirit of the wood path, he felt almost suffocated by the innate terror he felt towards Su Nan.
"Hand the child over to me!"
As Su Nan approached, she extended her jade hand. Her overwhelming presence, unparalleled in the world, crashed down in an instant, pinning the three Soul Law Spirits in place.
"Delusional!"
Although not his true form, Gu was, after all, a Soul Law Spirit from the founding days of the Shenxiao Sect. With an angry shout, his eyes suddenly shot out two chaotic spheres of terrifying thunder.
A thunderous roar erupted, and all beings trembled. The first thunderclap in this world resounded, pressing down upon All Heavens, making all living beings who heard it tremble with fear and dread.
Startled by this thunderclap for an instant, Su Nan collected her wits. By the time she had recovered, Gu had opened his right palm, and the ancient Thunder Path rune within shone brilliantly as he fiercely stamped it towards her glabella.
"You are old now, far from the dominance of your youth. If this were ten thousand years ago, that thunder sound would have been enough to annihilate me," Su Nan replied calmly, unafraid of Gu’s descending right hand. A dot of pink brilliance flickered on her glabella, her eyes instantly transforming into a sea of peach blossoms. The power of the Soul Law Spirit awakened and burst forth, with billions of strands of light erupting fiercely.
HUM—
Peach blossoms fell as a slender jade hand met Gu’s palm head-on.
SMACK—
As their palms met, Gu grunted, his diminutive body suddenly straightening, his hair standing on end like an enraged lion.
No longer calm, ancient characters resonant with the Thunder Path continuously emerged in Gu’s blazing eyes. Behind him formed an imposing figure that overshadowed all ages and looked down upon all beings. With the support of this figure, Gu’s presence ascended to a wholly different realm in an instant.
"Step back!"
Thunder surged forth, emitting a light countless times brighter than Taiyang, causing Qianjiang Gushu and Shi Eryue beside him to hastily shut their eyes, daring not to look directly.
"You..."
Caught off guard by the explosive might displayed by Gu, even at the Dao Body Realm, Su Nan was struck by a surge of thunder traveling up her arm and into her body. She cried out in pain and fell to her knees.
"Don’t just stand there, run!"
Gu’s form became much blurrier as he scolded the dazed Qianjiang Gushu with a low shout. The latter immediately reacted. With Su Nan injured, the peach branches sealing this Universe Space wilted.
Seizing the opportunity, Qianjiang Gushu’s slender arms made a forceful sweep, the bells on his body jingling loudly. Amidst the hindrance of numerous peach branches, he forcefully tore open a gate of light.
Without hesitation, the three Soul Law Spirits charged into the gate with Qi Xiu.
But just as the gate was about to close and vanish, a palm with singed edges forcefully clutched onto the portal, stubbornly preventing its closure.
"Leave that child behind!"
"I’ll leave you a piece of shit!"
Twisting his body to pull a face at Su Nan, Gu whisked Qi Xiu and Qianjiang Gushu along and ran forward at breakneck speed.
"You old furball!"
The dignity of the Soul Law Spirit fully erupted as Su Nan let out a piercing shriek. Her killing intent soared high, threatening to overturn the cycles of All Heavens and rend asunder all around her, causing space to shatter and the world to quake.
The Primordial Spirit Realm was too profound. Even if a Soul Law Spirit was only on par with a Primordial Spirit Boss and not truly of the Primordial Spirit Realm, the force unleashed in her rage was enough to obliterate any existence of the Dao Body Realm.
With each step she took, blooming peach flowers appeared under Su Nan’s feet, and each step closed a significant gap with Gu and the others. After a mere five steps, she was nearly right behind Gu and his group.
"Stay behind."
With a look of cold intent, Su Nan reached to grab Qi Xiu, who was still in a state of law comprehension. Gu conjured a chaotic Lei Mang with a flip of his hand, but it was repeatedly deflected by layers of peach blossom petals.
"You..."
At the critical moment, a flash of golden brilliance suddenly erupted from the back of Qi Xiu’s spine. As the dragon’s roar that pierced the sky thundered, the vast and heavy Dragon Power swept out. It not only deterred Su Nan but also sent a bloodstained rope end flying out.
SNAP!
Su Nan’s upper body was directly shattered to pieces! The Soul Law Spirit, renowned for being able to strike down Primordial Spirit Bosses, didn’t have the slightest advantage under the terrifying power of the Dragon Binding Rope.
A trace of astonishment still lingered on her exceptionally beautiful face. As she lowered her eyes to see her body, nearly half destroyed, Su Nan opened her mouth to let out a terrifying shriek.
"The old witch has gone mad, run!"
Feeling Su Nan’s aura completely lose control, Gu grimaced and shrank his neck. He could sense that Su Nan at this moment was like an Ancient Volcano on the verge of eruption; the emanating breath alone was powerful enough to crush the void.
Alarm bells ringing in his heart, Gu and Qianjiang Gushu simultaneously employed techniques to tear through the limitless Universe Space and create distance.
"None of you, none of you will escape!"
The next moment, Su Nan exploded. She roared into the sky. Terrifying sonic waves pierced through the Yubi Passage. Her dark and gloomy aura was like that of a peerless great demon, casting a horrifying presence that dazzled heaven and earth and appalled the world.
BOOM!
Boundless demonic aura surged forth. The roar of a million Devil Heads, along with a blood light, instantly pursued Gu, Qi Xiu, and the other two.
Frowning and turning his head to look at Su Nan, who had become completely demonic, Gu sighed and shook his head.
Tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, all reduced to nothing due to a moment of greed.
Completely demonic, Su Nan began to sprout pitch-black demonic peach blossoms all over her body. Crazy spinning pupils resided in the center of the petals, exuding endless strangeness and terror. With a stretch of her hand, a brutal murderous aura swept out, shaking the entire Yubi Passage, as if she meant to grasp it within her palm.
"No good, we’re trapped."
The Yubi Passage was forcibly taken over by Su Nan. The path before Gu and his group disappeared, turning into a dead end.
"What should we do?"
Looking extremely anxious, Qianjiang Gushu paced back and forth. Being able to maneuver under the hands of a Soul Law Spirit for so long was already their limit. After all, this was a gap that spanned an entire great realm.
Gu’s eyes trembled continuously, an inner struggle seemingly occurring. He first glanced at Qi Xiu, who had yet to awaken, then looked towards the approaching Su Nan.
"Alas..."
Slowly raising his right hand, Gu let out a short sigh, ready to tear off the ancient Thunder Path rune in his palm.
"Wait! Look!"
Suddenly pulling on Gu, Qianjiang Gushu raised a branch, pointing towards the end of the void.
With a puzzled look, Gu followed the direction Qianjiang Gushu was pointing, and his eyes lit up with an explosive burst of joy.
"You rascal, finally you’ve arrived!"
From the depths of the endless void, an invincible figure of the Thunder Path cut through the void, filled with an anger to wipe out all demons and devils, sweeping towards them.
"The Shenxiao Sect considered your cultivation arduous. Leaving you in the Hall of Myriad Laws was to allow you to atone for your sins with good deeds. Never did I expect to have raised a bunch of calamities."
BOOM—
The Yubi Passage was burst open by force. Murderous intent and infinite thunder filled the space in an instant. A Daoist in a Deep Blue Taoist Robe, his body flowing with world-ending thunder and holding a terrifying sword of slaughter, walked out step by step.
His was an immeasurably imposing figure. In his eyes, there was a terrifying vision: heavens collapsing, the sun and moon losing their luster. The Divine Light circulating in his Longsword seemed to rip the sky and shatter the earth; its tip looked as if it could penetrate causality and exterminate all enemies in the world.
THUD, THUD—
With each step, it was as if a Thundering Great World was pressing down, causing the Yubi Passage to strain under the pressure, as if it were about to shatter. The personal arrival of Dongfang Qing completely turned the tide of battle. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Only moments before, the seemingly all-powerful Soul Law Spirit Su Nan had been imperious. Now, she panicked completely, her pitch-black eyes filled with fear.
"You, how did you come here?"
"Obviously, to slay you all."
With a calm and cold expression, Dongfang Qing wielded the Tianxing Sword. Not bothering with another word, his strike was a tyrannical and decisive kill, intended to instantly obliterate this audaciously troublesome being.
BOOM, BOOM—
A single slash fell. The four corners of the world suddenly darkened. A Sword Light, carrying the majesty of the vast heavens and manifesting the twilight of gods and the vital essence of Immortals and Buddhas, fiercely descended. Its released force instantly caused time and space to fear and submit, rigidly freezing.
In the mysterious beyond, a pair of eyes that overlooked All Heavens and myriad ages, and could see through eternity, opened, gazing down upon Su Nan from a high vantage point.
"Die!"
BOOM!
In a daze, Su Nan saw an indescribable being standing in the center of chaos. Infinite Great Daos lay beneath its feet, suppressing past, present, and future—a being magnificent beyond imagination. Under the gaze of this figure, Su Nan heard her judgment.
"NOOOO!!!!"
CRUMBLE—
In that instant, the Soul Law Spirit dried up, withered, crumbled, and dispersed. All that was left was a brilliantly shining peach branch, flowing with an infinite source of Dao Charm, slowly falling.
A peak Faliang, comparable to a Primordial Spirit, thus fell beneath a single sword strike, silent and without trace, her body dead and her Dao vanished.
With a natural expression, Dongfang Qing picked up the peach branch left by Su Nan and casually stored it. From beginning to end, not even a ripple crossed his eyes.
Apparently, slaying a Soul Law Spirit was, for him, nothing more than a triviality.
