Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 533 - 466: Cloud-Mystifying Mist

"Trying to run?"

With a slight movement of the earlobe, even from an extremely remote distance, Lord Wei seemed to capture Qi Xiu’s movements, turning slightly to look in a certain direction.

The next moment!

This Middle Ancient Demon Path True Monarch stepped forcefully, shaking the Qiankun, causing the entire Eighth Layer Penal Hall to tremble fiercely for an instant.

Hmm?

A sense of alertness suddenly arose in his heart, and Qi Xiu’s eyes shifted slightly. Instantly, he pinched a Daoist Incantation, and strands of dazzling red-gold light quickly emerged on the surface of his body.

Divine Fire Avatar!

Bam!

Almost the instant Qi Xiu completed the spell, an enormous hand, terrifying enough to pierce the sky dome, brutally crushed his body. The raging supreme divine fire roamed and raged on this hand but failed to leave a trace.

"Let’s see where else you can run."

His heart now filled with murderous intent, Lord Wei no longer held back. His gaze moved, instantly locking onto Qi Xiu, who had used the Divine Fire Avatar to swiftly travel thousands of miles away.

"It seems this old fellow truly harbors a complete desire to kill."

Recognizing Lord Wei’s forceful and ruthless killing move just now, Qi Xiu chuckled audibly, knowing he had caused serious psychological trauma to him.

Now the two had reached a point of endless confrontation.

"Want to kill me? Sure, but you might have to catch me first."

Unfurling his sleeve, Qi Xiu conjured a mass of fiercely circulating red-gold innate divine fire in his left hand, and a mass of dark and ominous innate true water in his right!

He abruptly brought his hands together!

Sizz——

Water and fire intertwined, and in an instant, the two purest forces of the Great Dao collided and annihilated madly. Yet under Qi Xiu’s extremely precise manipulation, they fused together to gradually generate a new and different power.

Whoosh——

A vast mist filled the sky, layer upon layer, thick and heavy.

The overwhelming mist obscured the sky and sun, instantly engulfing an area of thousands of miles in diameter.

The whole world turned into a vast white expanse, where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

Cloud-Mystifying Mist!

Amidst the dense mist, Qi Xiu waved his large sleeve, causing the rolling fog to become even more intense, spreading outward at an increased pace.

"Hmm, it seems to be working quite well so far."

Surveying the dense mist, Qi Xiu nodded slightly, a smile rising at the corner of his mouth.

This Cloud-Mystifying Mist was a new technique he developed by mimicking the method of Yin-yang collision during the creation of "The Secret of the Primordial Dragon-Tiger Scripture", using the technique of riding the dragon and controlling the tiger.

Initially, the Primordial Power was generated at the microscopic fusion during the Yin-yang collision.

The power of water and fire is similar to Yin-yang power, being two extremely repulsive forces.

So Qi Xiu tried using this Yin-yang collision method to also let the power of water and fire fuse during their extreme collision and annihilation to generate some new power.

This [Cloud-Mystifying Mist] was the result of his numerous experiments.

This pale mist appeared no different from the worldly mist.

Only thicker.

But in reality, it had a similar effect to the muddy fog of the Southern Ming Wasteland.

It blocked vision, disturbed divine sense, and disordered the heavenly mechanism.

Thus, Qi Xiu named it: Mystifying!

As the dense fog swept forth, Lord Wei didn’t even raise an eyelid, directly eliciting a gust of terrifying storm with a palm strike to blow towards the mist.

But eerily, as the wind entered the mist, it was like a clay ox entering the sea.

Not only did it fail to disperse the fog, but instead, it fueled its sweeping momentum, completely engulfing Lord Wei in an instant.

"This is... muddy fog?!"

As his nostrils twitched, detecting the scent of the fog, Lord Wei immediately sensed the effect of this Cloud-Mystifying Mist, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes, which transformed into a golden ancient sea.

He had lived in the Southern Ming Wasteland for tens of thousands of years.

Though he spent most of his time residing in the Hundred Herbs Cave Heaven, it wasn’t that he never ventured outside.

He was exceedingly familiar with the scent and effect of the muddy fog.

"No, not muddy fog, but a similar force."

In surprise, Lord Wei carefully sensed it and immediately discerned the differences between this Cloud-Mystifying Mist and muddy fog.

"Compared to muddy fog, the mist has weaker effects on disordering the heavenly mechanism.

Yet its capacity to blind sight and block divine sense is several levels stronger.

This young one’s methods are truly strange and sinister."

"To think you could even replicate such an ancient Divine Marvel as the muddy fog!"

Even Lord Wei, a living fossil who has lived for tens of thousands of years, couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear at Qi Xiu’s countless methods.

Just as Lord Wei sighed in secret.

An arrow, formed from countless air currents and carrying infinite annihilating force, suddenly pierced through the thick fog, aiming directly at his brow.

Clang—

The arrowhead and fingertip spun against each other, suddenly exploding with countless blinding lines of fire. A circle of seemingly substantial vigor burst open, causing the entire ground to sink heavily downwards.

"Heaven-Earth Annihilation?"

Before Lord Wei’s words could finish, countless annihilation arrows came whistling viciously, with momentum so terrifying that they seemed like giant stars falling from the Thirty-Three Layered Heavens.

Each strike was powerful enough to shatter mountains and rivers for miles!

Recognizing this well-known magical treasure from the Middle Ancient Era, a flash of light appeared in Lord Wei’s eyes. He shifted his body with an exquisitely subtle movement technique, evading most of the annihilation arrows, then waved his arm to smash the remaining arrows.

"The idea of trying to shoot me is a good one.

But unfortunately, what is the meaning of creating this dense fog then?"

Casually batting away an arrow that was about to pierce his throat, Lord Wei laughed coldly.

Did you think that with the strange thick fog as a shield, you could safely use the Heaven-Earth Annihilation to kill me, Lord Wei?

Then you’ve underestimated this peerless physique that I have honed over tens of thousands of years!

A flicker in his eyes, the golden ancient sea in Lord Wei’s eyes surged, tracing the arrows’ trajectory in reverse to deduce the shooter’s position.

Boom—

With a step forward, Lord Wei, like an ancient demon god descending upon the world, shot forward rapidly, ancient chains seemingly appearing around his body.

These chains were the Divine Marvel within the Forbidden Air Domain of the Punishment Hall.

If the chains were broken, Lord Wei would be able to break free from the suppression of the Forbidden Air Domain.

"Break for me!"

With a low shout, his fiery qi and blood soared to the skies, the Nine Heavens above his head shining a million times brighter, the endless chanting of celestial demons amplifying his strength, while Extreme Dao Divine Might manifested behind him.

Bang!

A shattering sound echoed across the universe, as the chains around Lord Wei broke one by one.

The Forbidden Air Domain became ineffective!

After the Divine Marvel of the Punishment Hall was completely exhausted.

The Forbidden Air Domain of the entire True Dragon Ruins was forcibly broken by Lord Wei’s extreme power.

Boom—

With no more hindrance from the Forbidden Air Domain, Lord Wei transformed into an immense shadow that engulfed the heavens and earth, the immense and terrifying darkness completely covering the penal ground.

"Found you!"

A cold shout descended, an enormous murderous intent crashing down, carrying an immense, unforgivable hatred intended to bury everything below alive.

Reaching out a huge hand and tearing the Space-Bounding, Lord Wei’s body seemed to fill the Qiankun, exuding an aura of chaos, mischievously carrying the power of taboo intending to annihilate everything.

Rumble—

This oppressive sensation was too horrifying, even the Space-Bounding became distorted and misshapen.

Thud!

The massive hand, filled with supreme murderous aura, slapped down fiercely, only to see a burly puppet adorned with peach blossoms in its hair look up at Lord Wei, who tore through the Cloud-Mystifying Mist, grinning.

Peach God Puppet!

It was never Qi Xiu himself who used the Heaven-Earth Annihilation to attack Lord Wei.

Instead, it was the Peach God Puppet he manipulated!

Once more being toyed and mocked, Lord Wei’s expression instantly hid in the shadows.

Boom—

Everything suddenly exploded!

Heaven and earth turned into chaos!

Qi Xiu, who had already reached a spot under a snow-white vine miles away, heard the loud explosion and turned his head to look.

He saw Extreme Dao Divine Light dazzling across the sky, the figure venting its rage roaring towards the heavens, emitting a majesty that made the void shiver incessantly, turning everything tangible and intangible into nothingness under infinite brilliance.

In the blur, Qi Xiu saw the Ninefold Palace explode.

Many terrifying figures of immense yet dreadful might emerged, bolstering the Middle Ancient Demonic True Lord, making every breath he took seem capable of shattering this heaven and earth.

"Such a terrible temper."

Shaking his head, Qi Xiu turned and stepped onto the snow-white vine before him, heading towards the last layer of the Punishment Hall, which was also the location of that ultimate essence condensed object.
