NOVEL NEXT Chapter 247: A Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate
Ling Yueyaya's brows were furrowed tightly, her eyes flashing with cold starlight. She took a deep breath, and suddenly her left hand, which had been hidden behind her back, thrust forward swiftly, pressing right onto the hilt of the light blue soft sword. In that instant, her surging soul power flooded into the soft sword like a torrent, and the blue water ripple that had long been brewing inside her activated instantly as the soul power poured in, igniting the inscriptions within the sword, causing it to burst into dazzling brilliance.
As the sword pivoted sharply, Ling Yueyaya wielded the soft sword, instantly spewing an incredibly dense white mist in all directions. This mist quickly spread, enveloping the entire battlefield in a veil of mystery, ethereal like an enchanted realm.
However, the Dark Demon seemed unaffected by the mist. It continued to charge forward with extraordinary excitement, its eyes flashing with bloodthirsty red light. Filthy drool dripped from the corners of its mouth, sucked back with a snort amid its heavy breathing, appearing especially disgusting and ferocious.
Suddenly, two blurred graceful figures appeared within the white mist. Below, Ling Yueyaya moved with agility, darting through the mist as flexibly as a fish in water. Above, Luo Chen had the wind beneath his feet, a swirl of cyan wind surrounded him, propelling him like a great bird, soaring gracefully forward. The Divine Fire Sword in his hand glowed with a blazing light, cleaving down from the sky at an overwhelmingly dominant angle!
The Dark Demon finally realized the situation before it, yet facing this sudden twin attack, it was momentarily at a loss. Unable to determine who was the true threat, it hesitated for a brief second. However, that split-second hesitation presented Luo Chen with a perfect opportunity.
Luo Chen, leveraging the power of the wind swirl, dove down rapidly, as swift as a startled swan. The Divine Fire Sword in his hand triumphantly slashed down in mid-air, its blade aiming directly at the top of the Dark Demon's head. At this moment, he seemed to transform into a heroic War God, invincible and brave.
"One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!" Luo Chen murmured in a low voice, unleashing a sudden explosive surge of soul power. This 'One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate' was an extremely advanced swordsmanship move, consisting of seven forms. The first three forms each comprised three sword strikes, emphasizing smooth and varied swordplay; the latter four forms focused more on the perfect integration of sword strokes with the wind attributes, enhancing the swordsmanship's power exponentially.
At that moment, Luo Chen was using the fourth form, 'One Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate,' aiming for perfect harmony between the pressure of the wind and the stroke of the 'cut.' It was his first time using this move in real combat, yet he wielded it with unprecedented proficiency as if aided by divine power. As cyan light surged from his entire body, the sword's edge closed in on the Dark Demon's head!
The Dark Demon then sensed an unprecedented massive threat, spitting out a burst of raging flame from its mouth in an attempt to block Luo Chen's attack. However, Luo Chen showed no fear of the flame threat, urging the Divine Fire Sword to strike toward the Dark Demon with even greater speed. At the same time, the Dark Demon raised its arms to block, preparing for an intense clash!
With a resounding clang, the Divine Fire Sword cleaved through the flames with unstoppable force, the immense wind pressure like a raging wind penetrating the flame's interior, instantly dispelling the surging elemental energies of water and fire prepared to erupt! The power of this sword was so astonishing, it left people in awe.
After cutting through the flames, the sword did not pause for a moment, continuing its fierce downward slash! Luo Chen's stance was as steady as a mountain, and the Divine Fire Sword in his hand was like a bolt of lightning, slicing through the sky toward the Dark Demon's vital spot. Simultaneously, Ling Yueyaya was not idle either; her soft sword, as agile as a serpent, stealthily entwined around the Dark Demon's neck!
In that moment, cyan light, red light, and blue light intertwined, instantly dyeing the entire marshland with a multitude of dazzling colors. Amid the fierce whistling of the wind came the Dark Demon's wailing scream, chilling to the bone.
As time passed, the wind gradually subsided, the dust began to settle, and the brilliant colors slowly faded away. On the battlefield, only the Dark Demon's incredulous eyes remained, staring blankly at its own blood-soaked arms, seemingly still dazed by the recent shock.
Its gaze slowly shifted to Ling Yueyaya, where the seemingly lightweight, harmless soft sword in her hand had already been withdrawn. Yet, a dreadful sword mark, about two inches deep, now encircled the Dark Demon's neck! Blood gushed out like a fountain, instantly staining the ground a vivid crimson...
"Ah..." The Dark Demon opened its mouth as if wanting to scream, but the sound stuck in its throat, and finally, it died completely, collapsing heavily to the ground.
Carefree Meng Lan witnessed this, feeling joy in her heart, but even more worrying and anxiety. She hurried over to Ling Yueyun, wanting to check his injuries. Those previously knocked down by the Dark Demon also struggled to their feet. Bearing more or less marks left by the Dark Demon, yet they ignored the pain for now, gathering around to ask each other about their well-being with concern.
