The Sword Demon grinned, with a hint of mockery in that smile.

Trade?

When did this become a trade?

Wei Sheng Xingyu was originally from the Immortal Sect, and the Heaven and Earth Lake does not belong to the Covering Heaven Pavilion.

Protect the Immortal Sect?

A small mouth, but a big appetite!

"Celestial Traveler, let's not talk about trade for now. How about a duel between you and me? Either you kill me, or I kill you," said the Sword Demon, gripping his sword tighter and slowly lifting it up.

The sword pointed directly at Celestial Traveler!

Upon seeing this, before Celestial Traveler could react, Huaikong shook his head helplessly and smiled, "What a madman!"

The Sword Demon replied, "Brother Huai, please step aside. I will certainly avenge you for that earlier slap!"

"You really are a madman."

Huaikong cursed softly and then silently retreated.

In this world, perhaps only the Sword Demon dares to be so insane, challenging a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted while being just an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm.

But since the Sword Demon wants to be crazy, Huaikong lets him be crazy.

Indeed.

Sword Demon.

If he isn't mad, how can he be called a demon?

"Truly ignorant of life and death!" As Huaikong retreated, Celestial Traveler angrily cursed, then raised his hand and conjured a huge palm that covered the sky, striking towards the Sword Demon.

This palm alone, its powerful presence causing fear from afar among ordinary Earth Unrestricted experts.

However, the Sword Demon was delighted, decisively swinging his sword towards the enormous palm. Up, down, left, and right, a black and white cross-shaped sword Qi struck towards the giant palm overhead.

The Cross Blade Qi was a newly constructed Vein Technique by the Sword Demon, and although its grade was yet to be determined, its power could rival Earth Level Vein Skills. Most importantly, the Holy Light Blade Intent fused with his original Sword Intent, producing a special transformation.

Holy Light Blade Intent, to melt everything.

His original Sword Intent now possessed the power to devour.

This devouring power was different from Huaikong's Devouring Power; the Sword Intent's devouring power would only enhance the Sword Intent, not the one releasing it.

In other words, unless his sword Qi is directly destroyed, it will only grow stronger, halting at a critical point that he has yet to discover. So he decided to test this with Celestial Traveler.

Boom—

The Cross Blade Qi clashed with the gigantic palm conjured by Celestial Traveler.

"It actually blocked it?" Celestial Traveler originally anticipated that his palm would easily disperse the Cross Blade Qi.

But then Celestial Traveler sneered lightly, "It's just a firefly, daring to challenge the glory of the bright moon?"

Celestial Traveler immediately raised his hand, and the vast red vein Qi in the sky, accompanied by a scorching breath, gathered on the giant palm. The palm was instantly ignited, burning fiercely as it pressed down.

The Sword Demon struck again, severing ten times, five Cross Blade Intents slashing towards the giant palm.

The downward force of the giant palm paused again!

"You do have some tricks, being able to withstand my strike." Yet Celestial Traveler still carried disdain in his voice, looking down at the Sword Demon from above, like a god.

How long can you hold on?

Blocking for a while, can you block continuously?

A mere Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, he could easily slaughter them twenty years ago, let alone now when he is Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted.

The gap between the Sword Demon and him can be described as the difference between clouds and mud.

Time slowly passed, and Celestial Traveler's expression turned to one of surprise, for the Sword Demon's Cross Blade Qi hadn't dissipated yet, a true miracle. And at the moment of his surprise, his giant palm was actually pushed upwards, unable to press down the Cross Blade Qi.

"Enough!"

Unwilling to continue playing, Celestial Traveler moved his heart thought, the giant palm suddenly began to shrink, grabbing the Cross Blade Qi.

Bang!

In the giant palm, six Cross Blade Qi shattered forcefully.

This made the three Upper Realm experts from the Covering Heaven Pavilion nearby breathe a sigh of relief, their faces showing joy.

At this moment, the Sword Demon showed no expression, only murmured in his heart, "Still can't measure the upper limit! My current Sword Intent is enough to make me completely invincible in the same realm, but facing Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, it still falls short. Celestial Traveler's explosive power momentarily exceeds what the Sword Intent can withstand."

As the Sword Demon murmured in his heart, Celestial Traveler struck again, his Meridian Gate shook, and a sky full of fire appeared above the Sword Demon. The fiery sea was like a crimson sunset, covering the sky.

"Fire Rain."

Celestial Traveler whispered these words, and the fiery sea began to drop countless fireballs.

One after another.

Each one was ten meters wide.

Like a torrential downpour, turning everything around into a living hell.

Mountains.

Streams.

Cliffs.

Everything was destroyed in the fire rain, and escaping members of the Demon Race and the Hundred Sects Alliance died beneath it.

The Sword Demon observed and said darkly, "Celestial Traveler, you're really crazy, even ignoring your own?"

"Of course it's pleasant to kill enemies unscathed, but if not, dying together with them is their honor and destination! They knew this very well the day they joined the Covering Heaven Pavilion. You don't understand...nor do you need to." Celestial Traveler coldly responded.

The sky full of fire rain continued to descend.

The Sword Demon couldn't help but quip, "Truly a madman!"

Huaikong also swore silently, then immediately shouted to the Demon Race army below, "Form a shield with demon power, resist the fire rain!"

With Huaikong's command, all demons operated their Demon Pills, gathering demon power to form shields in the air.

Boom!

Boom!

The moment the shields were formed, the fire rain was completely blocked outside, no longer massacring the Demon Race army. Members of the Hundred Sects Alliance were scattering, while the Covering Heaven Pavilion people were charging into the demon crowd.

Celestial Traveler watched, surprised, "Interesting, able to wield demon power to a level rivaling the proficiency of the Human Race using vein Qi. Di Ting did not deceive me!"

"Continue killing!"

Celestial Traveler then issued an order to the Covering Heaven Pavilion experts who had entered the demon crowd.

Observing, the Sword Demon ceased cursing the Covering Heaven Pavilion as mad and directly dashed under the fire rain. Raising his hand, he unleashed countless Holy Light Blade Qi to meet the descending fire rain.

Boom—

Boom—

One by one, the fireballs were shattered by the Holy Light Blade Intent.

The Sword Demon stood alone beneath the sky full of fire rain, continuously wielding his sword, blocking each falling fireball.

Celestial Traveler, seeing this, impatiently muttered, "You really are a bothersome creature."

Bam—

Celestial Traveler's Meridian Gate trembled again.

The sky full of fire rain continued to fall, but within it emerged a giant fiery red serpent. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

First its head sprang from the fire clouds, tongue flickering as it stared at the Sword Demon in the sky, then its entire body pounced out. It swallowed the Sword Demon whole, leaving him no chance to escape.

"Elder Sword Demon!" Huaikong was shocked.
