Chapter 993 - 927: Sword Demon’s Last Stand Against Celestial Traveler
What a lunatic!
Seeing the Sword Demon recklessly charging again, Celestial Traveler couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
Does this Sword Demon really want to die?
If you really want to die,
then I'll send you on your way!
Boom—
Celestial Traveler's four crimson Meridian Gates trembled simultaneously, and the Four-Vortex Vortex Map began to spin one after another.
Earth Level Upper Grade School Vein Skill.
Fire Dance: Ashes of the World!
Crimson flames began to dance and whirl around Celestial Traveler, continuously increasing in number.
Ten strips.
Hundred strips.
Until countless strips of flames enveloped Celestial Traveler.
Honestly, since stepping into Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, it was Celestial Traveler's first time using Fire Dance against an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm.
Even when he appreciated the Sword Demon just now, he didn't think he'd be forced to release Fire Dance.
But now it's different.
He realized the Sword Demon was truly bothersome.
A real lunatic!
If he didn't deal with him all at once, he'd keep pestering him, annoying him to death.
The battle below was over; the people of Sky Covering Tower either fled or died, so he had to kill the Sword Demon quickly.
Once the Sword Demon died, they could make a comeback!
"Die for me."
Celestial Traveler coldly spat out these two words.
The elongated flames that had been swirling around him suddenly seemed to have a mind of their own, all rushing toward the Sword Demon.
Swish—
Swish—
From afar, it looked like a fiery meteor shower was descending.
Yet the Sword Demon kept advancing, charging into the meteor shower, blade rising and falling.
At this moment, the Sword Demon's Vortex Map also opened.
Four-Vortex Vortex Map.
Created by Wenping!
It was the reward the Sword Demon received from cultivating magic during this period.
The special ability was—Holy Light Barrier!
When released, it enveloped everything within a thousand feet of him in Holy Light.
However, this Holy Light was not meant to attack or defend against enemies.
Its true function was silence.
And imprisonment.
Although it could only be released once per quarter hour, once Holy Light Barrier was activated, enemies within a thousand feet of him would no longer be able to use Vein Technique, nor would demons be able to use Divine Techniques.
And the Holy Light Barrier lasts for 500 breaths.
Within these 500 breaths, no matter how powerful his enemy, they could not use Vein Technique.
Celestial Unrestricted is no exception!
At this moment, seeing the Sword Demon still relentlessly charging at him, Celestial Traveler couldn't help but let out a laugh.
"Still charging forward?"
"Such a brute!"
With each elongated flame that landed on the Sword Demon, it was like a drum in the sky being beaten continuously.
Boom!
Boom!
This sound was incessant, shaking the ground below.
When the scattered sparks hit the ground, they scorched the earth into a thousand gaps, unrecognizable.
Huaikong and Shifeng, the two demons, watched this scene, their expressions serious.
Because they felt the terrifying energy of Celestial Traveler's attack.
If such an attack fell on them, they'd barely survive.
Yet the Sword Demon kept advancing through such an attack, looking as if he was determined to die.
But the cost of this was that the Sword Demon's Spirit Body was severely damaged, within merely a hundred breaths, sustaining six-tenths damage.
Celestial Traveler snorted coldly, indifferently watching the Sword Demon, "Sword Demon, your strength has reached its limit, your Spirit Body's endurance is also at its limit. If you keep fighting like this, you'll perish under my Fire Dance."
"Why do you have so much to say!"
The Sword Demon cursed angrily amid his relentless blade swings, then grit his teeth and continued to draw closer to Celestial Traveler.
Die in battle?
He's never afraid.
As long as he's not dying meaninglessly, as long as his death isn't utterly pointless.
Besides, who says he must die?
"Holy Light Shining!"
The Sword Demon took out a magic wand with his left hand and chanted a spell.
Holy Light immediately shone down!
Tier Three auxiliary magic instantly restored two-tenths of the Sword Demon's injuries.
Seeing this, Celestial Traveler's rigid face suddenly showed a hint of unexpected interest, "Interesting."
A Vein Technique that heals.
It's honestly the first time he's seen it in his life.
According to his perception, this light was very similar to the white Sword Intent released by the Sword Demon.
Its destructive power is astounding.
And it can heal injuries too.
Such Sword Intent is truly enviable.
If a Sword Cultivator saw it, they would probably die from happiness?
But alas.
Today you must die!
Celestial Traveler coldly stared at the Sword Demon, his Meridian Gate trembled again, sending more elongated flames toward the Sword Demon.
Just then, the Sword Demon finally stood just a hundred feet away from Celestial Traveler, with no obstructions they could reach each other's face in an instant.
The Sword Demon immediately sneered, speaking as he activated the special ability of the Vortex Map: "Then let me show you something even more interesting."
Holy Light Barrier.
Release!
The Holy Light that had been sprinkled only on the Sword Demon instantly spread, sweeping across the surrounding thousand-foot sky.
From afar, the Holy Light pierced through the clouds, as if descending from the heavens, a stunning spectacle.
The next moment, the flames continually attacking the Sword Demon vanished.
They transformed into Vein Qi, dispersing in the sky.
Before Celestial Traveler could react, the Sword Demon was already upon him, slashing down with his blade.
Celestial Traveler was caught off guard by this slash and could only raise his arm to block. He originally intended to conjure a Vein Qi Shield while raising his hand.
But realizing he couldn't conjure it as he raised his hand, Celestial Traveler was utterly shocked.
The Sword Demon's blade just fell on Celestial Traveler's arm.
Swish—
At the moment the white Sword Intent slashed into Celestial Traveler's arm, he felt pain and quickly kicked back.
Intending to kick away Celestial Traveler, granting himself a chance to catch his breath and think.
But how would the Sword Demon allow Celestial Traveler such an opportunity?
Holy Light Barrier can only last for 500 breaths, so in these 500 breaths, he must keep haunting Celestial Traveler.
The Sword Demon's blade fell so fast it was barely visible to the naked eye, continuously pressing Celestial Traveler with relentless strikes.
Finding he couldn't release Vein Technique, Celestial Traveler was first surprised, then puzzled.
But seeing the Sword Demon leaving wounds on him over and over, he became enraged. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Pulling out his weapon, he engaged the Sword Demon in a melee with the power of his Spirit Body.
However, the Sword Demon could still release Vein Technique, so when Holy Light Vein Skill emerged, Celestial Traveler's Spirit Body was suddenly severely damaged. His chest was split open with a foot-long bloodstained gash by Holy Light Blade Intent.
Through the wound, bare white bones were visible!
Scarlet blood flowed continuously from the wound, and Celestial Traveler's complexion grew increasingly ugly.
He was actually injured like this by an Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm!
Utter humiliation!
"Sword Demon, you're dead!" Enraged, Celestial Traveler went mad, recklessly charging at the Sword Demon.
This was exactly per the Sword Demon's intention.
The Sword Demon then clashed with him, but since the Sword Demon could release Vein Technique, Celestial Traveler was completely outmatched.
Repeatedly struck, Celestial Traveler suffered injury after injury, his Spirit Body's damage level reached five-tenths!
Meanwhile, the Sword Demon's Spirit Body had already fully recovered under Holy Light Shining.
However, the 500 breaths duration of the Holy Light Barrier was about to end...
