Xuanhuan World: Guarding the Sword Pavilion! I Am the Protagonist Investor – Chapter 131

Ambush By Two Demon Lords; The Five Decays Of Heaven And Man!

The Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains are located in the East Sea, with a harsh environment and lurking dangers.

It is necessary not only to contend with surging tides and space-time rifts.

But also to frequently clash with the Human Race, the Demon Clan, and other forces, engaging in endless conflict.

The long-term survival pressure is hardly surprising, given Grand Princess Ninth Central’s desire to find a peaceful haven and relocate her entire clan.

At this moment, above Flower Island, Demon Clan cultivators soared into the air to confront the Demonic Tide.

Some relied on their Magical Treasures to take flight, some used talismans, and others relied on their own cultivation to ride the wind.

These Demon Clan members were mostly minor demons at the Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment stages.

Their realms were not high, and their auras were immature.

Yet, each one looked resolute, showing no intention of retreating in the face of the Demon Tribulation.

They gripped their weapons tightly, their demonic energy flowing, adopting a stance of fighting to the death.

At this time, Xie Fei made another move.

“Although it’s a bit troublesome, it’s also a good opportunity to nourish my Enlightenment Tea Tree.”

Xie Fei’s thoughts moved: “System, extract Luo Dahai’s sixty years of cultivation as an investment!”

Boom…

With the influx of system energy, Limitless Sword Qi surged within him like a breached dam.

His cultivation, already nearing a breakthrough, instantly surged past its limits.

A flash of inspiration bloomed, and his aura skyrocketed.

Xie Fei officially stepped into the Nascent Soul Level Six!

The moment his realm broke through, his Sword Intent was like a rainbow, his imposing manner reached its peak, and the sea surface trembled.

Xie Fei let out a long howl, using his Sonic Skill for a Sudden Shout.

Although this technique was a Lower Grade secret skill, its might was still considerable with the enhancement of Nascent Soul Level Six cultivation.

Sonic waves swept like thunder, shaking for hundreds of miles.

The void buzzed, and spiritual energy surged.

The nearby Demon Horde was caught off guard, and their souls were impacted by the sonic waves, causing them to lose control.

Like dumplings, they began to fall into the sea, creating waves.

Xie Fei took advantage of the situation.

Limitless Sword Qi erupted, transforming into more than a dozen Spirit Light Great Hands, sweeping across the sea surface.

These hands were incredibly nimble, precisely seizing the demonic creatures whose minds had scattered, and with a gentle squeeze, crushed them into dust.

He guided the pure demonic energy, all of it into the System Space, and poured it into the Spirit Soil beneath the Enlightenment Tea Tree.

The tea tree flashed with inspiration, its branches and leaves gently swaying, greedily absorbing the demonic energy and emitting vigorous vitality.

In the Demon Horde.

A Tangible Demon of Nascent Soul Level Two let out a ferocious laugh.

Its form was like a yaksha, with a green face and fangs, and a fierce aura.

Staring at Xie Fei’s Sword Qi hands, it sneered, “Humph! A mere fraction of power dares to seize me?”

As it scoffed, its body suddenly swelled, transforming into a ten-foot giant.

Black demonic energy churned, condensing into a giant palm, attempting to capture Xie Fei’s Sword Qi hands in return.

The giant palm’s might was astonishing, carrying the immense power of a Nascent Soul Level Two, as if it wanted to crush everything.

However.

Xie Fei’s lips curled into a slight smile, and his Sword Qi hand suddenly changed its move.

Changing from seizing to piercing, it condensed a point of cold light, precisely aiming for the center of the demonic palm.

With a soft “chi,” the demonic palm was pierced, revealing a fist-sized hole.

The Tangible Demon with Nascent Soul combat strength immediately screamed repeatedly.

Before it could react, the Sword Qi hand grabbed again.

Fast as lightning, it seized the entire thing before bringing it before Xie Fei.

“Die!”

Xie Fei shot out an incomparably sharp Sword Qi, directly killing this Nascent Soul Level Two demonic creature.

The demonic energy dissipated, absorbed into the System Space by him, transforming into nutrients for the Spirit Soil.

“Impossible!

“Your scattered power is not as powerful as mine!

“Why could you defeat me?”

This Tangible Demon, even in death, wore an expression of disbelief.

“Although my power is dispersed, the quality of the Limitless Sword Qi surpasses that of ordinary demonic energy, or even Demonic Power.

“A single strand of my power is enough to match thousands of your demonic energy strands!”

Through this battle, Xie Fei’s use and application of Limitless Sword Qi had risen another level.

In an instant.

He felt as if his thoughts had transformed into thousands, each thought controlling a strand of Limitless Sword Qi, rampaging and plundering demonic energy within the Demon Horde.

To deal with Nascent Soul-level demons, he only needed to use the amount of Sword Qi used at Foundation Establishment.

To deal with Foundation Establishment demons, only the amount of Qi Refining…

In this way.

The damage Xie Fei inflicted on the Demon Horde even surpassed that of a Transformation-level cultivator.

Swish swish swish…

Lights flickered, and the Demon Horde howled in pain.

In the blink of an eye, thousands more demonic creatures were killed, turning into pure demonic energy, all flowing into the Spirit Soil.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree absorbed it frantically, its trunk rapidly rising, now close to ten feet tall!

How tall is ten feet?

In the previous life’s modern world, it’s 3.3 meters!

Not only that.

The tea tree’s branches and leaves were lush and dense, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Several crystal-clear tea buds had grown on the trunk, like stars adorning it, containing mysterious Dao Rhythm.

The magnitude of the change far exceeded expectations.

……

Above Flower Island, demonic energy filled the air, and the flames of war raged.

The Demon Clan cultivators on the island were engaged in fierce battle with the Demon Horde, spiritual light and demonic energy intertwined, and explosions shook the heavens.

Spirit Flowers swayed, and blood mist rose.

Xie Fei’s astonishing performance had already attracted the attention of the experts on the island.

Three powerful auras rose from within the island and broke through the air, revealing themselves to be the Island Master of Flower Island and two Vice Island Masters.

Two men and one woman, all at Nascent Soul Eighth or Ninth Level.

Their auras were profound, and their combat strength was considerable.

They hovered in mid-air, their gazes locked on Xie Fei, their eyes filled with shock.

“Who is that person?

“He actually split his attack into so many strands!

“And each strand is incredibly precise, completely under his control!”

The female Vice Island Master exclaimed, a hint of awe flashing in her eyes.

The male Vice Island Master nodded, saying solemnly, “This person’s control over power is exquisite, and the speed of his thought transformation is miraculous!

“His power…

“It doesn’t seem to be the Spiritual Power of a Human Race cultivator.

“It is thick and vast, even surpassing the Magical Power of a Transformation-level cultivator!”

The Island Master’s gaze was profound, and his tone was heavy: “How did he cultivate?

“Such a level of power, the main cultivation skill is definitely extraordinary!

“If this space-time node hadn’t been broken, and this Human Race cultivator hadn’t helped, I’m afraid we’d be in dire straits now.”

The male Vice Island Master added gratefully, “Thanks to this Righteous Person, he held back the main force of the Demonic Tide!

“But through the Great Formation’s perception, this Demon Clan invasion is led by a Great Demon Lord.

“A Great Demon Lord is equivalent to the Grotto-Heaven Realm!

“Although the space-time passage isn’t stable enough to support the power of a Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator.

“But as time goes on, that Great Demon Lord will eventually appear.

“At that time, I’m afraid…”

The female Vice Island Master was worried: “The might of a Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator is earth-shattering, and the island’s Great Formation may not be able to withstand it.

“We need to seek reinforcements as soon as possible!”

The Island Master nodded calmly: “I’ve sent a message to the inner island immediately.

“As long as we hold on for a moment, the experts of the Demon Mountains will arrive!

“Right now, we can’t let this Righteous Person fight alone, we need to do our best!”

Before his words fell.

The Island Master took the lead, summoning an Azure Demon Blade.

Blade light was like a rainbow, slashing towards the Demon Horde.

The two Vice Island Masters followed closely behind.

The male Vice Island Master wielded a long spear, and spear shadows were like dragons.

The female Vice Island Master threw out a Spirit Light Treasure Mirror, its light sweeping and incinerating demonic creatures.

The three of them worked together, their might astonishing, instantly clearing a section of the Demonic Tide, relieving the pressure on the minor demons.

……

Deep within the Demon Horde.

Two icy gazes pierced through the rolling demonic energy, firmly fixed on Xie Fei.

Two Demon Lord-level demonic creatures revealed themselves, both at Transformation Level Five.

Their auras were ferocious, and their killing intent was like a knife.

They were like specters, with red light flashing in their eyes, revealing endless violence.

Xie Fei’s wanton slaughter had already enraged them.

At this moment, they both regarded him as their primary target.

Below.

Xie Fei’s sword realm unfolded, Limitless Sword Qi poured down like a galaxy, harvesting the Demon Horde with fruitful results.

However, the number of demonic creatures in the tide was too astonishing, as many as two to three hundred thousand!

Dense and numerous, they blotted out the sun and sky.

What’s the concept?

Even if there were so many pieces of wood standing there, and someone had to chop them down with a knife, they would be exhausted to death!

Almost as soon as one was killed, two or three more would immediately fill its place.

They could not be killed, they could not be eradicated.

Even with Xie Fei’s Nascent Soul Level Six cultivation, the consumption of Sword Qi was quite terrifying.

At this moment.

He suddenly felt a warning, a fatal crisis coming from deep within the Demon Horde.

“An expert has targeted me!”

Xie Fei’s eyes narrowed, and his Spiritual Sense fully extended, trying to lock onto the opponent.

But the number of demonic creatures in front of him was too large, and under the sky-high demonic energy gathered together, even his Spiritual Sense perception began to show signs of blurring.

Seeing this situation, Xie Fei’s vigilance reached its peak.

He immediately decisively restrained his offensive, withdrawing most of the Limitless Sword Qi back into his body.

He sneered, thinking to himself, “Since you like to lurk in the dark, then fine!

“I’ll force you out!”

With a thought, he released his True Dragon Avatar again.

As soon as Long Aotian appeared.

His aura skyrocketed, transforming into a hundred-zhang giant, emitting terrifying pressure.

He roared to the heavens, his fists falling like mountains.

The fist wind swept, shattering the void.

Bang bang bang…

The Demon Horde fell down in swathes, a large number of demonic creatures were crushed into blood mist, and screams echoed across the sea surface.

This move worked perfectly!

The two Demon Lords could no longer restrain themselves,

Their eyes filled with killing intent, their bodies moving, they transformed into two whimpering howls of demonic energy, merging into the Demon Horde, quietly approaching Xie Fei.

Their auras were hidden, like specters.

Using the Demonic Tide as cover, they were virtually undetectable.

Xie Fei was prepared.

Although his Spiritual Sense was interfered with, his Sword Heart was like a lighthouse, keenly capturing the approach of two killing intents.

When the Demon Lords entered a hundred-zhang range.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his sword realm suddenly contracted, transforming into an invisible barrier to protect his body.

Boom!

The two Demon Lords erupted simultaneously, revealing their whereabouts and charging straight towards him.

“Human cultivator, what profound skill are you practicing?

“Why, with only Nascent Soul Level Six, can you unleash such terrifying power?

“Tell us…”

The two demons stared at Xie Fei, constantly murmuring, their voices like demonic sounds entering the ears, carrying the power of bewitchment.

This demonic sound was strange and unpredictable, seeming to penetrate directly into the soul, shaking one’s resolve.

Even though Xie Fei was prepared, facing the joint attack of two Transformation-level Demon Lords, plus the mental bewitchment of the intangible demons, he could not completely resist for a time.

His eyes were slightly dazed, and the operation of the Limitless Sword Qi in his body was sluggish.

A trace of closeness to the Demon Horde arose deep in his soul, almost revealing the secret of the system and the Limitless Sword Qi.

This is the terrifying aspect of the Demon Clan!

Especially intangible demons, they specialize in attacking the soul, bewitching intelligence, and are impossible to guard against.

Ordinary cultivators, even Transformation and Grotto-Heaven, cannot escape their erosion.

A slight carelessness will turn them into puppets.

At a critical moment.

A clear crowing of a chicken resounded through the heavens and earth: “Cluck cluck cluck!”

This crowing contained a mysterious power.

Like the dawn breaking, dispelling the gloom.

Xie Fei’s soul trembled, and the mist in his eyes suddenly dissipated, his mind regaining clarity.

He suddenly came to his senses, with a slight cold sweat, surprised in his heart: “So close!

“If it weren’t for this sudden crowing, I would have been tricked by these Demon Lords this time!”

“As Demon Lords, you actually use such despicable means of sneak attack?” Xie Fei howled, his voice shaking the four directions.

With his Sword Intent like a rainbow, he forced back the surrounding demonic energy.

Two shadowy figures appeared, the two Demon Lords!

Their bodies were illusory, like condensed black mist, the red light in their eyes even brighter, revealing some annoyance.

“We are the masters of demons, to achieve our goals, why should we be bound by means?”

The two demons spoke in unison, as if they were one.

Their voices still contained the power of bewitchment, attempting to erode Xie Fei’s mind again.

“As long as the outcome is satisfactory, what does the high or low of the means matter?”

But the sudden crowing continued, and their ability to bewitch was instantly reduced by 90%!

“Long Aotian.”

Xie Fei immediately summoned back his True Dragon Avatar.

As soon as Long Aotian arrived, he immediately attacked one of the Demon Lords.

That Demon Lord repeatedly used techniques to fight back, but found that its power could not affect Long Aotian at all.

“This is… Pure Yang Dragon Body?”

That Demon Lord was suddenly surprised: “Where did you get this True Dragon power?!”

After several exchanges.

Long Aotian’s blows created gaps in the Demon Lord’s demonic energy, making it falter.

Seeing this, the other Demon Lord decisively abandoned its confrontation with Xie Fei, transforming into black mist to support its companion.

The two Demon Lords worked together, their demonic energy like a tide.

Bone blades and demonic flames erupted, instantly suppressing Long Aotian, forcing him to retreat steadily.

But don’t forget.

There’s still Xie Fei!

“Now it’s two against two, that’s fair.

“You two Demon Lords should explain yourselves here.”

Xie Fei took a step forward and then attacked the Demon Lord that had gone to support.

Intangible demons do not have a physical form, and ordinary Magical Treasures cannot hit them.

Therefore, he did not use a Magic Sword, but only erupted with pure Limitless Sword Qi, in the form of energy to bombard.

Originally, the two could barely suppress Long Aotian, but now that Xie Fei had entered the fray, the two Demon Lords were immediately overwhelmed.

“Damn it! If it weren’t for that inexplicable crowing, how could we have fallen to such a point!”

“Human cultivator, don’t think that you can suppress us with these!”

The two Demon Lords roared repeatedly, and then seemed to be about to unleash some desperate move.

Then they saw the two demonic energies suddenly merge together.

Twisting, intertwining…

They actually shook Xie Fei and Long Aotian away at once!

Next.

These two streams of demonic energy flew into the air, and as they spiraled and twisted, they began to emit a strange power.

Xie Fei immediately sensed that something was amiss in the heavens and earth, boundless thunder began to gather, and a fatal death enveloped him.

“This feeling…is it a bit like Lightning Tribulation Heavenly Punishment?”

Before Xie Fei could come to his senses, Long Aotian over there seemed to be unable to hold on.

The part of his soul within it actually began to weaken!

Seeing this situation.

Xie Fei was suddenly startled, and immediately put Long Aotian away.

At the same time, a voice suddenly came from the void beside him: “Come in quickly!

“This is ‘Five Decays of the Celestial’!

“It is the most powerful technique of intangible demons. Once a target is locked and it erupts, the person will immediately be infected with the calamity’s energy.

“Even if they miraculously survive, they will forever remain silent and unable to transcend!”

Hearing this familiar voice, Xie Fei was greatly surprised: “Zhou Hongxian?!

“How did you come back?”

As he spoke, he was pulled in by Zhou Hongxian.

This was a small different dimension.

There was no air current, no air, and no mountains, rivers, grass, or trees.

Gray and hazy, as if in a thick fog.

At the same time, from here, you could see the situation outside.

It was quite magical.

“After all, we agreed to go to the Dragon Palace Treasury together.”

Zhou Hongxian’s figure appeared: “This is a secret treasure that I’ve kept for a long time, capable of isolating all perception.

“But this treasure is deeply involved, and I never dare to use it easily in front of others. You are the first person to see it.”

Hearing this.

Xie Fei suddenly thought of something and quickly said: “The crowing just now…”

“That’s right! It was the Nine Sun Chicken I caught.”

Zhou Hongxian said, “The Nine Sun Chicken is a supremely yang and supremely righteous creature. It has already become extinct in the outside world, with only a few remaining in the Hundred Thousand Demon Mountains.

“But its bloodline is thin, and it is no longer as powerful as its ancestors.

“In order to stimulate its power, I have already burned its Essence Blood. I’m afraid it can’t hold on any longer.

“Xie Fei, remember to compensate me with a chicken.”

Hearing this, Xie Fei couldn’t help but feel moved.

The Nine Sun Chicken is so rare and precious, Zhou Hongxian must have spent a lot of effort to catch one.

Unexpectedly, it was used here.

“By the way, you said that move was Five Decays of the Celestial?”

Xie Fei looked towards the outside world, wanting to understand the points he didn’t understand.

“That’s right.”

Zhou Hongxian nodded: “The so-called Five Decays of the Celestial are the signs of a person’s impending death.

“The Demon Clan’s technique uses the power of calamity to prematurely place a person into the situation of Five Decays of the Celestial.

“Once they enter Five Decays of the Celestial, regardless of their power or protection, they will eventually die.”

Will they eventually die?

Xie Fei was slightly stunned, he didn’t expect the Demon Clan to have such a powerful technique.

“How do you get out of this place? It’s just that they’ve just unleashed their killing move, and their new strength hasn’t been replenished yet, so we can kill them.

“Otherwise, once these two Demon Lords recover, and they use Five Decays of the Celestial a few more times, no one can withstand it.”

Xie Fei immediately said.

He was not someone who would willingly suffer losses.

Since these Demon Lords wanted to kill him, then he would strike while the iron is hot!

“Good!”

Zhou Hongxian didn’t say anything more, and with a thought, she opened a passage.

Xie Fei immediately flew out along the passage.

“You…where did you go just now?”

“I didn’t expect you to actually have a treasure to hide your aura and escape!”

Seeing him reappear, the two Demon Lords immediately shouted angrily.

At this moment, their bodies were somewhat illusory, and the demonic energy surrounding them was not as substantial as before.

It can be seen that the previous move did indeed consume a lot of energy.

“I have many treasures, such as this!”

Xie Fei didn’t waste words. He was almost tricked, so he immediately released the Immortal Corpse Water.

Long Aotian followed up immediately.

He himself was in the rear, preventing the two Demon Lords from escaping.

When the Immortal Corpse Water appeared, the two Demon Lords didn’t feel anything at first.

But when they came into contact with it, they were instantly terrified: “What is this?!”

“Why is my power beginning to dissipate?”

The two demons’ tone contained a trace of despair.

“No! This, this, this is…”

“Immortal…”

Before they could finish their words, Long Aotian crashed down with unmatched power.

In the blink of an eye.

The two Demon Lords began to dissipate.

Because they didn’t have definite forms, they were directly erased from the energy level.

Swish! Swish!

The two Demon Lords were slowly “devoured” until nothing remained.

The high-quality demonic energy that escaped was also completely collected by Xie Fei into the Spirit Soil.
