“He came so soon?” Yellow Spring Great Sage said in surprise. He had not expected that Sword Demon Patriarch would come so fast and that Nether Prison would react so quickly. What shocked him even more was that Sword Demon Patriarch was here alone.
How could Sword Demon Patriarch hope to resist them when even Tyrant Patriarch had failed?
Yellow Spring Great Sage and Bu Fang exchanged a look and saw the bewilderment in each other’s eyes.
Boom!
In the sky, Sword Demon Patriarch’s aura exploded after he drank the drop of scarlet liquor. The blood in him seemed to boil, and his body seemed to expand. The Heaven-defying Fortune Wine was a masterpiece of that man. It could bring him a heaven-defying fortune and elevate his cultivation base to a very terrifying level.
With a snap of fingers, a sword sped toward the Black Temple down below, intending to destroy it. Its speed was scary, and as it flew, it produced a booming sound that numbed the scalps of those who heard it.
Crunch!
Yellow Spring Great Sage bit the chicken feet in half, then took a step and shot himself into the sky.
“Bu Fang, my little friend, save a few chicken feet for me! I’ll be right back!”
Laughing, he went straight at Sword Demon Patriarch. When he saw the sword that was coming, his expression changed. As he continued to chew the chicken foot in his mouth, the water of the Yellow Spring River appeared and swirled around him, then turned into a torrent and collided with the sword, generating a shocking explosion.
The air rang with a rumbling sound as the sword kept cutting and eventually hacked the torrent in half.
“How is this possible?!” Yellow Spring Great Sage was taken aback by the sword’s power. He knew Sword Demon Patriarch’s strength very well, which was much weaker than that of Tyrant Patriarch. “He should not have the strength to cut through my water with the sword!” What had just happened confused him. He knew something was not right.
Still, Yellow Spring Great Sage would not be defeated just like this. After all, he was an old fellow who had lived tens of thousands of years.
He threw out a palm. Streams of water turned into a whirlpool and trapped the sword, then completely negated the killing force by spinning rapidly. After that, he clenched the palm into a fist.
Crunch!
The sword was crushed in an instant.
Yellow Spring Great Sage grinned and crushed the chicken bones in his mouth with his teeth.
In the sky, Sword Demon Patriarch smiled as he glanced at Yellow Spring Great Sage. He carefully put the cork back to the shabby gourd and put it away before turning back to his opponent. The look in his eyes grew sharp, and suddenly, the silver sword under his feet burst into light and expanded.
Rumble!
The void cracked as if a mighty force was shattering it, and in the blink of an eye, Sword Demon Patriarch was in front of Yellow Spring Great Sage. He raised a hand and waved. Countless swords appeared in the sky and rained down with incredible power.
That startled Yellow Spring Great Sage. Water streams appeared and formed a watery cage around him. The next moment, those swords hit the cage.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They were so powerful that the cage trembled violently and Yellow Spring Great Sage was forced several steps back in the sky.
“How could you be so strong?!” Yellow Spring Great Sage was incredulous as he stared at his opponent and all those swords.
In the past, Sword Demon Patriarch was weaker than Yellow Spring Great Sage, but now he seemed to have reached Tyrant Patriarch’s level, the realm of Perfected Great Saints. Each of his blows contained mighty power that could easily crush a man.
“So this is the feeling of power…” Sword Demon Patriarch was excited. He raised a hand and looked at it, sensing the energy that flowed in him. It had reached the level he dared not imagine in the past.
He waved his hand suddenly, and countless swords began to wheel around him. Even his sword intent and swords were strengthened. This was the effect of the Heaven-defying Fortune Wine. A drop of it had pushed him into the realm of Perfected Great Saints and allowed him to attack with incredibly formidable swords.
Although he was strong before this, he was just a Nine-revolution Great Saint. Now, however, his cultivation base was granted a qualitative leap.
He could hardly hide the excitement on his face as he looked at Yellow Spring Great Sage and pointed out his finger. In an instant, a sword sped forward like a bolt of lightning.
As the sword pierced through the air and approached at lightning speed, Yellow Spring Great Sage turned his body hurriedly and avoided it. However, its sharp blade still managed to cut a few strands of his hair.
“So violent?” Yellow Spring Great Sage’s eyes widened. He was furious now.
Inside the Black Temple, Bu Fang sat on a chair, gnawing at a chicken foot as he watched the two experts fight in the sky. He was surprised to see that Sword Demon Patriarch’s strength had grown so much stronger now and was suppressing Yellow Spring Great Sage. When he saw the latter being forced back, he thought he couldn’t bear to watch any more.
“Big Yellow, why don’t you just eat the flatbread?” Bu Fang shouted after taking a sip of wine.
“Eat the flatbread?” Yellow Spring Great Sage’s eyes lit up. However, he immediately recalled that he would turn bald after eating it. He shook his head and hollered, “No! I won’t eat it! I will not eat it for the rest of my life!”
Hearing his stubborn refusal, Bu Fang shrugged helplessly.
Rumble!
Ten thousand swords gathered in the sky and turned into a sword that seemed to cut the world in half, which then fell and shattered the void.
“The Returning Sword!”
Sword Demon Patriarch laughed. Now that he was able to suppress Yellow Spring Great Sage, his heart was filled with joy.
The fluctuation of the battle between two Nine-revolution Great Saints spread instantly, attracting the attention of many experts in Earth Prison. They all rushed to the place where the fluctuation originated, and when they saw what was happening, they gasped.
“Why are these Nine-revolution Great Saints fighting on the ground instead of the battlefield of the stars? Are they ignoring the rules?”
Nether King Er Ha’s hair was waving. Suddenly he narrowed his eyes and turned in the direction where the Black Temple was located. Then, he kicked the ground, shot himself into the sky, and sped toward it in a beam of light.
“Only Sword Demon Patriarch can have such a mighty sword intent in this world! How dare he come to Earth Prison and run wild again?!”
At this moment, Prison Overlord Ying Long and other Earth Prison experts moved out as well.
Inside the Cave of the Fallen Gods, a blood-colored fire burned. The golden skeleton sighed before falling silent again.
The fluctuation of the battle continued to spread. Those who were near the Black Temple soon arrived. When they saw the scene in the sky, they all sucked in cold breaths. They could not believe that Yellow Spring Great Sage was overwhelmed by Sword Demon Patriarch’s attacks.
In the sky, Yellow Spring Great Sage’s body was already covered with bloody sword marks.
“When did Sword Demon Patriarch become so fearsome?!”
A figure fell from the sky and crashed into the ground with a rumble, creating a huge pit. The powerful impact even shook the Black Temple.
“I don’t have time to waste with you… I’ll finish you with a blow now.” Sword Demon Patriarch slowly pulled out the sword on his back. It was an azure sword, and a sharp buzzing sound rang out of it as he lightly swung it.
Yellow Spring Great Sage climbed out of the pit. He looked somewhat bedraggled now.
Sword Demon Patriarch hovered in the sky and no longer took Yellow Spring Great Sage seriously. “I’m going to kill you with one strike. Ten Thousand Swords!” he cried out. The next moment, he made a straight cut toward the ground with the sword in his hand.
One sword after another shot out of the sword, and soon, there were ten thousand of them, all falling from the sky at once.
“You made me do this!” Yellow Spring Great Sage flew into a rage. The fact that he was being looked down upon filled his heart with anger. He could not believe that Sword Demon Patriarch, who he had suppressed in the past, wanted to kill him now.
The next moment, he produced a steaming Fortune Flatbread and took a bite of it. The wisp of fortune gas in it rushed into his body in an instant.
In the sky, the gourd hanging on Sword Demon Patriarch’s waist trembled ever so slightly the moment the Fortune Flatbread appeared. It was as if they were echoing to each other.
As soon as he ate the flatbread, Yellow Spring Great Sage felt a burst of fortune explode in him! He opened his mouth, widened his nostrils, and spat out a fireball. A gust of wind came and fluttered his robes, then his hair began to fall, drifting away in the passing wind.
Before long, he was completely bald. He touched his head, and as he watched the rain of swords coming at him from the sky, he slowly lifted his fist and threw it out.
The next moment, one sword after another came crashing down, devouring Yellow Spring Great Sage in the blink of an eye.
The Black Temple shook violently. Inside, Bu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth, took a sip of wine, and said, “I thought you said you will never eat the flatbread for the rest of your life? Where’s your backbone?”
Sword Demon Patriarch stood in the sky with the sword in his hand. At this moment, he had a feeling that he was invincible. All of a sudden, the ground burst apart, and Yellow Spring Great Sage, who was devoured by his swords, shot out of it.
The air rang with explosions as Yellow Spring Great Sage flew through the rain of swords and threw a fist at Sword Demon Patriarch’s head!
RUMBLE!
The sword and the fist collided, and the impact made both men move a few steps back in midair. They were equal in strength now!
Yellow Spring Great Sage, who had turned bald, was extremely fearsome!
The people watching nearby were all dumbfounded. There were more onlookers this time than the fight that took place in the battlefield of the stars. After all, the battlefield of the stars had too many restrictions, so it was highly likely that the whole Earth Prison would learn that Yellow Spring Great Sage had turned bald!
“You’re courting death!” Sword Demon Patriarch kept swinging his sword, unleashing countless sword beams that were extremely sharp. For a moment, the sky seemed to have turned into a sea of swords.
Meanwhile, Yellow Spring Great Sage kept throwing out his punches in this sea, crushing one sword with each punch!
The destructive forces generated from the fight of two Nine-revolution Great Saints were terrible. Soon, the ground was completely shattered and collapsed under the violent fluctuations of their battle.
Bu Fang sat inside the Black Temple. His hair had turned gray-green, and he was yawning with tears in his eyes. Rings of green light spread from his body and enveloped the whole Black Temple. When the fluctuations fell from the sky, they were deflected and smashed into the surrounding ground before they could hit the building, creating a ring of deep trench around the Black Temple.
After braving through the sea of swords, Yellow Spring Great Sage finally came in front of Sword Demon Patriarch. He stared at his opponent, his bald head gleaming…
“You made me eat the flatbread, causing my head to turn bald… So you think you’re strong now, aren’t you?” Yellow Spring Great Sage said angrily. The next moment, he threw out a fist and punched Sword Demon Patriarch in the face.
“Ouch!” The punch knocked Sword Demon Patriarch flying backward for thousands of miles, and he could not stop himself from tumbling.
All of a sudden, the void tore open with a rumble. A figure wrapped in black smoke walked out of it, raised a hand, and caught Sword Demon Patriarch.
The moment the figure appeared, the world seemed to fall silent.
