This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable-Chapter 1561 - 36: Heaven Never Seals All Paths

"Today, I will show you why the Cang family can stand firm over the Heavenly River Sea with just three people." Cang Xiu's eyes glinted coldly as he spoke softly.

The next moment, he raised his right hand.

His original flesh suddenly flashed with a gilded luster like metal.

Not just his right hand, his entire body was undergoing a strange transformation.

Limbs, torso, eyes, even his hair seemed to turn into metal, radiating hues completely different from flesh color.

The only commonality among these varying hues was their sharpness, as if they could pierce through heaven and earth.

The Evil Venerable slightly narrowed his eyes, raising his wariness a little.

He could see that although Cang Xiu was in the Honorable Realm, his strength was not particularly outstanding, at most, twenty-three or twenty-four times that of a Ninth Grade, inferior even to Qian Venerable.

But now, after undergoing these changes, Cang Xiu seemed to transform into a different person, his combat power and aura surged, still not comparable to him, but not far off.

However, the Evil Venerable did not fear, nor did he intend to retreat.

Not far off—this meant there was still a gap.

Besides, their Demon Race's overall combat strength could completely crush the Cang family.

How many Nine Realms Cultivators are there on Lingye Island?

Adding them together, at most a mere handful.

And how many Ninth Grade Demon Cultivators have they brought this time?

Over a thousand!

So, what's to fear?

"I want to kill, even you cannot stop me!" Cang Xiu's sharpness was exposed, and at this moment, with a cold snort, his sword-like right hand slashed down.

After this slash, the entire Jingjian City trembled violently.

Rumble!

Atop every building in Jingjian City, there stood a needle-shaped Lightning Guiding Artifact. Earlier, when Cang Xiaojian introduced it to Lu Qingshan, he said it was the foundation for sword forging by the city's swordsmiths.

This was not wrong.

But it also had a hidden function, one that even Cang Xiaojian was unaware of...

Within Jingjian City, countless buildings, at this moment, every Lightning Guiding Needle emitted dazzling light.

In the sky above, the ever-present thunderclouds were drawn by the Lightning Guiding Needles, forming into a serpent of lightning, rushing straight towards Jingjian City, and outside the Tang Tower, right in front of Cang Xiu, there condensed a purple Thunder Dragon composed of thunder.

The Thunder Dragon shone brilliantly, its appearance turning the sky and earth dim, even causing Jingjian City to tremble slightly.

The Thunder Dragon flew forth in an instant, its speed too fast for the naked eye to catch.

It roared, thundering, charging towards the Evil Venerable.

The Evil Venerable's expression changed, his eyes suddenly contracting, a strong sense of crisis forced him to unleash all his combat power, roaring low as he faced the Thunder Dragon with all his might!

Cang Xiu saw this scene, the smile at his lips grew colder, completely different from the "honest and simple, willing to work hard without complaint" image he had in front of his wife earlier.

He narrowed his eyes, seeing the Evil Venerable facing the Thunder Dragon, he seized this opportunity, his body surged forward, heading straight for the Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable, straight for the Demon Race who had previously twice intruded Lingye Island but was let go by him.

Cang Xiu instantly unleashed all thirteen Magic Artifacts fused into his flesh.

Thirteen Magic Artifacts, nine of which were Pseudo Dao Swords.

This added the extreme speed and sharpness of the Sword Artifact to his unparalleled physical strength!

All of this combined, it was as if Cang Xiu transformed into the sharpest Flying Sword, with infinite momentum, charging straight towards the Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable amid a thunderous sonic boom.

The Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable's mind buzzed, he felt an intense life-and-death crisis.

He was almost frantic, unable to imagine how Cang Xiu, faced with such a crisis, against such overwhelming forces on his side, could have such a strong resolve to kill him.

Unable to imagine that Cang Xiu actually had a means to temporarily hold back the Evil Venerable.

Seeing no way to escape, he could only fully explode in resistance, while loudly shouting for help: "Qian Venerable, save me!"

The Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable had no confidence in his ability to withstand Cang Xiu's killing strike and could only pin his hopes on another top Demon Venerable, Qian Venerable.

Only, what he didn't expect was that Qian Venerable's eyes flickered for a moment, yet he did not act immediately, choosing instead to ignore.

This made the Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable's heart instantly cold.

First, his heart chilled at Qian Venerable's unwillingness to save him, and second, he understood that this was because even Qian Venerable had no confidence to safely withstand Cang Xiu's explosive offensive, hence he did not take action.

For even such a strong Qian Venerable lacks confidence to receive the blow, could he possibly withstand it?

The answer seemed evident.

Cang Xiu approached the Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable in an instant.

Then, he lifted his right arm, bringing it down on the Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable.

This arm was not ordinary. At the moment it descended, the void between Cang Xiu and the Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable seemed unable to bear such tremendous strength, directly caving in, revealing a deep, bottomless black hole, then quickly sealed up.

The Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable's eyes widened, his scalp almost bursting.

He now realized that in his previous two island intrusions, Cang Xiu had not fought him with full effort.

But even so, he had been beaten to a hasty retreat.

"This...impossible!" The Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable exclaimed, his mind roaring, an unprecedented dread causing his whole body to tremble.

He could be sure that among the seven Longevity Clans, Cang Xiu was absolutely the strongest cultivator, none other, his combat power even almost on par with the Evil Venerable!

The extreme life-and-death crisis made the Treasured Cauldron Demon Venerable's face bulge with veins, like worms, or like gnarled roots.
