Traveler of the River of Time and Space-Chapter 500 - 20: Demon Sword Princess 2

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Sparks exploded with strands of leaping golden arcs of electricity.

Su Ziyu gripped the Dragon-Hunting Spear, continually parrying and blocking. Since he wanted to analyze and copy the opponent’s skills, he naturally focused on defense, providing the opponent as many opportunities to strike as possible.

When he first arrived at the Hundred Ghosts Plane, his strength was already not much different from that of a Great Demon.

Now, facing a Great Demon, he was naturally even more fearless. The enhancement of his body’s base attributes brought a comprehensive improvement to nerve reflexes, muscle strength, instinctive judgment, and so on. Su Ziyu’s evasion ability had always been superb, and he wasn’t particularly afraid of this kind of close combat melee enemy.

For him, casters were the easiest enemies to overturn the situation against.

Ever since returning from the Dark Souls World, Su Ziyu had become increasingly fond of using the Dragon-Hunting Spear in combat. Perhaps it was because of its thickness and length, making it very handy to wield.

The saying, "an inch longer, an inch stronger," has existed since ancient times. As long as a spear-type weapon has enough space, it is very easy to utilize.

Clang.

When the demon blade princess’s strength waned, Su Ziyu suddenly swept horizontally, forcing her back, then looked at the scratch marks on the Dragon-Hunting Spear with some heartache, before switching to another Dragon-Hunting Spear.

Currently, he didn’t know anyone who could repair Curiosity Level equipment, so he needed to use it sparingly.

The opponent’s demon sword was a bit peculiar; its sharpness was extraordinarily high.

"Hmm."

The demon blade princess wasn’t in great shape either. She let out a muffled groan and stood still to catch her breath, her pale hand trembling slightly as she dispelled the faint golden arcs of electricity. This man’s ability was especially strange, merely parrying and defending, but still managed to injure her slightly. The bizarre lightning attached to his weapon leaped onto her body upon contact, causing her spirit body to feel somewhat numb.

No wonder he said he was somewhat bullying her.

Thunder Technique truly countered spirit bodies well.

"I didn’t expect your strength to be so strong!" The demon blade princess’s expression turned increasingly exhilarated, like a battle maniac, bowing slightly, she said: "Out of respect!"

"I too will give my all!"

Despite saying this, the demon blade princess casually tore off her black off-shoulder gown. A streak of light flashed, and a rather peculiar ancient battle outfit appeared on her, with patterns of black, yellow, and white clouds, while her long black hair automatically gathered into a single ponytail.

Subsequently, the demon blade princess closed her eyes slowly, switching from a single-handed to a double-handed grip on her sword.

Blind Combat?

No, not quite!

Blind Combat techniques wouldn’t surpass using the naked eye, and the current environment wasn’t dark enough to necessitate the use of Blind Combat’s abilities.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Detected Heart Eye Domain fluctuations!... You have been locked by the target’s Heart Eye ability!..."

"Currently analyzing!..."

Ha!

A loud shout echoed.

The demon blade princess, with eyes closed, exuded an even more formidable aura, akin to a determined swordsman unafraid of death. Her figure suddenly vanished from sight, reappearing as three demon blade princesses simultaneously, each swinging their gigantic demon swords at Su Ziyu at the front.

——"Phantom!"

——"Phantom!"

——"Demon Blade Princess [Demon Blade Awakening]!..."

Su Ziyu’s expression hesitated for a moment, then he directly ignored the two demon blade princesses on the sides, raising his hand, taking a bow step, and stabbing the spear at the demon blade princess directly ahead.

Clang!

The mid-air demon blade princess seemed to have perfectly predicted his action, suddenly changing her move mid-air. With a twist, she turned her direct slash into a diagonal cut, the cold blade light brushing against Su Ziyu’s abdomen.

"Husband dear!"

"Be careful!"

"It’s the No Thought Sword!..." Qing Ji’s slightly anxious voice came through.

Boom.

A massive cut, twenty meters long, appeared on the wall behind Su Ziyu. The wall collapsed amid the violent air currents, shaking the entire night venue. This building might not hold up any longer.

"The No Thought Sword, huh?"

Su Ziyu took a half-step back, leaping directly out of the hall. This place was unsuitable for combat, and it was about to fall apart.

His figure landed in the outside plaza, his expression showing surprise: "Interesting."

"Relying entirely on intuition and instinctive reactions to fight?"

The so-called No Thought Sword isn’t actually a technique, but rather a level of swordsmanship, requiring rather formidable physical qualities to let your moves and counterattacks surpass your thoughts. Your body moves on its own before your mind considers how to strike.

It’s such a level of swordsmanship.

Ordinary people, even if they practice the No Thought Sword, might only use it defensively and for counterattacks. But the demon blade princess is a little different; she can fully use the No Thought Sword for active offense.

It’s like a general guideline for fighting, encompassing all sword techniques within its execution.

"Heart Eye combined with No Thought Sword."

"No wonder Qing Ji said she’s hard to deal with!" A fierce blade light followed closely behind Su Ziyu’s figure. At this time, the demon blade princess was fighting completely with her eyes closed.

Her Heart Eye was activated, and Su Ziyu couldn’t escape her detection.

Clang.

The Yirushir Straight Sword transformed into a flash of cold light, flying out.

The demon blade princess directly cleaved it apart, then turned into a whirlwind, her enormous demon sword spinning rapidly, raising a violent Sword Qi while slashing towards Su Ziyu’s head.

Clang, clang, clang. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Blade marks appeared on the Dragon-Hunting Spear. If it weren’t for this weapon’s toughness, it would have long been cut in half by that massive Demon Sword.

—"Spiritual Protection Field!"

Bang.

Su Ziyu stomped fiercely, shattering the hard concrete beneath his feet. He then raised his hand and pointed forward. Pieces of hard concrete shot out like bullets, and the nearly two-meter-thick ground in front of him lifted up, forming a wall as a barrier.

—"Telekinesis Burst!"

Countless shards of rocks and concrete flew out like a storm. Just as the Demon Blade Maiden swung the massive war blade to cleave through the concrete wall, Su Ziyu’s figure had already vanished.

"Analysis complete!..."

"[Golden-winged Bird King Sword] has been copied to the Skill Tree!..."

"Analysis complete!..."

"[Heart Eye](Spiritual Ability Field) has been copied to the Skill Tree!..."

"Analysis complete!..."

"[No Thought Sword] has been copied to the Skill Tree!..."

After gaining Divine Power, the Space-Time Monitor System’s analysis ability was stronger than Su Ziyu had imagined. This analysis was faster than when he mastered the Thunder Spear, completed in just a short period.

"Alright."

"It’s time to end this." Discovering that the opponent hadn’t displayed any particularly special abilities, Su Ziyu’s figure hovered in mid-air, reaching out towards the sky.

—"Thunder Strike!"

Rumble.

A blinding golden lightning bolt descended from the sky.

The Demon Blade Maiden’s figure was leaping up from the ground, brandishing a massive demon blade, almost fully exposed within the range of the Thunder Strike.

Bang.

A figure plummeted from the sky.

A faint golden electric glow appeared on Su Ziyu’s body. Then, he clenched his hand, and amid crackling golden currents, a six-meter long golden Thunder Spear emerged.

"Have mercy!"

As the golden Thunder Spear descended, a soft female voice suddenly called out.

Immediately afterward, a flash of sword light, a Flying Sword transformed into a white light darted like a comet, directly intercepting the Thunder Spear thrown by Su Ziyu.

Rumble.

In the explosive thunder, a woman wearing a bamboo hat and dressed in white Daoist robes appeared. She looked up at Su Ziyu in mid-air, and softly said, "Lord Su."

"Have mercy."

"The Demon Blade Maiden is not an incorrigible villain. Please give me some face and let me take her back for discipline."

Several Flying Swords appeared behind the visitor, and she stood atop a longsword as white as frost.

This figure, he found somewhat familiar.

Even with the bamboo hat, he could recognize her.

Su Ziyu’s expression paused slightly, then he nodded and said, "Alright."

"This time, I’ll give you some face."

Guhuo Bird.

In all of Fusang, the only one capable of using the Flying Sword technique from Central Earth was the reclusive Guhuo Bird in the Maple Forest. The last time he came to the Hundred Ghosts Plane, Guhuo Bird had helped Su Ziyu, so he ought to give her some respect.

"Thank you, Lord Su!" Guhuo Bird’s figure descended from the sky, lifting the Demon Blade Maiden on the ground with one hand.

The Demon Blade Maiden did not seem gravely injured. After all, she was a Great Demon, with a remarkably robust physique. She struggled vigorously, her face full of stubbornness, "Let go of me!..."

"Let me up!... I can still fight!... I haven’t lost!... Guh... Ugh..."

No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t break free from Guhuo Bird’s grasp. Guhuo Bird lightly raised her finger in a sword gesture, sealing off the hum of the quivering Demon Sword, then turned to Su Ziyu full of apology, "Forgive me for the spectacle."

With that, she carried the Demon Blade Maiden and transformed into a sword light, shooting straight into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from sight.

"Thousands of miles in an instant?" Su Ziyu watched the streak of sword light like a white rainbow, murmuring, "Guhuo Bird has grown so much stronger too!..."

Qing Ji’s figure slowly approached.

Upon hearing Su Ziyu’s words, she nodded slightly and softly said, "Ever since returning from Central Earth last time, Guhuo Bird seems a little different."

Indeed.

The demonic aura on Guhuo Bird was nearly fully dissipated.

This clearly indicated she had received a Daoist tradition in Central Earth! Such a Sword Control technique cannot be displayed without being linked to a Sword Immortal’s tradition!

Truly.

The hidden aura on Guhuo Bird made Su Ziyu feel she was stronger than even Qing Ji by a margin.

A thousand years had passed.

It seemed she was close to becoming a True Immortal.

No wonder Aoandon was so anxious, even coming up with ideas for drawing manga. Over the past millennium, her strength seemed to have increased the slowest, and both Guhuo Bird and Qing Ji had far surpassed her.
