Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 501-Chapter 600)

Clang!

The two swords collided and produced a thunderous explosion, but neither the Evil Eye sword or the vajra sword were damaged.

Lietu was astounded. The Evil Eye sword had been unstoppable, yet it was unable to cut through the vajra sword. With a thrust and a flick, Lietu tried to knock the vajra sword away and run his sword through Xiao An’s chest.

The vajra sword responded to the circumstances, sticking firmly to the Evil Eye sword like its shadow. The two swords slid and ground against each other, unleashing a series of sparks. No matter how Lietu wielded his sword, he was unable to knock away the vajra sword.

The Dauntless monk sighed inside. She can actually wield this vajra sword of extreme rigidness with such flexibility. It’s not only her understanding of the buddhist dharma. Even her swordsmanship is ingenious.

Lietu let out a fierce howl and pulled back his sword. Looming over Xiao An and merging with the sword, he swung madly.

The streaks of light from the sword rained down like a storm. Flexibility came with an inability to hold the ground and defend. Faced with such an extravagant sword style, it was impossible for Xiao An to receive these strikes as easily as earlier no matter how ingenious her swordsmanship was.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Like a string of thunder claps, Xiao An remained where she was, without moving at all, but seventeen or eighteen arms seemed to extend from her body, wielding the vajra sword to the point where she stood like a sturdy fortress. It was like she could not be shaken at all no matter how violent the storm was.

But a while later, the golden avatar condensed once again. Every single crease and wrinkle in the skin was clearly visible now, and the sense of stateliness it emitted became grander. Just like that, Xiao An had broken through to the sixth layer of the Guardian King’s Scripture of Demon Subdual naturally.

She had managed to succeed under such circumstances! The Dauntless monk already had no idea what he could say. All he could do was silently adjust the plan he had in mind. If this continued, perhaps she had a chance at condensing a ?arīra and undergoing the second heavenly tribulation before the age of twenty. Just how many people had managed to achieve this throughout history? Compared to this, could that wretched daemon Golden Cicada even be called a buddhist genius?

Xiao An opened her eyes and glanced at Lietu indifferently. If she could use the Buddha Slaying sword embryo, killing this demon would only take a single strike, but she faced the same issue as Li Qingshan. She could not directly use the great power of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, so she made use of the situation to practise the Guardian King’s Scripture of Demon Subdual.

It was like she had finished the content from university before sitting a test for primary schoolers. It would only be strange if she had any issues.

Xiao An silently sensed the power flowing through her. It should be enough to kill him now.

She took a step forward. Golden light erupted and sword qi swelled as she switched from defence to offence.

Li Qingshan had been staring at the sixth Demon Suppression statue the entire time. When Lietu gained the upper hand earlier, he had not even glanced back, but he suddenly turned around and said, “Oh right. I want that sword, so be careful not to break it.”

She was in such a dangerous battle, yet he still reminded her to keep the enemy’s weapon intact! If it were not for witnessing their unbelievable teamwork earlier, the Dauntless monk basically would have wondered if they even cared for one another.



Xiao An agreed to his request.

Lietu became even more furious. They basically treated him like a lamb to the slaughter.

Li Qingshan said, “Oh right. You there, if you leave the sword behind, I can let you leave this place alive.”

Before Lietu could even answer, Xiao An said, “Definitely not.”

“Why’s that?” Li Qingshan was surprised. Xiao An rarely ever objected to his suggestions.

Xiao An said, “He said he wanted your demon heart earlier. As it seems, the sword requires suitable demon hearts to unleash its power. We aren’t really suited for entering the seventh floor, so his demon heart is the best choice available.”

“I see. Alright then. Butcher him!”

After stating his request relaxedly, Li Qingshan turned around and gazed at the Demon Suppression statue. Before long, the Demon Suppression statue lit up.

Xiao An leapt up gently and turned into a streak of golden light. The Evil Eye sword fell down, landing on the golden light.

Xiao An raised her hands and caught the blade, pushing right up to Lietu. The vajra sword plunged straight towards him. Lietu extended his hand to grab the vajra sword in a panic.

Both of them grabbed each other’s sword with one hand while gripping their own sword with the other and pushing it towards the opponent, refusing to relent. The two swords broke free from their restraints at the same time, falling towards their enemy.

Lietu clutched his abdomen and pushed Xiao An away, spurting with blood. Sword qi that contained buddhist powers wreaked havoc inside him.

On the other hand, Xiao An did not take a single step back, and an extremely distinct slash appeared on her golden crown. Logically speaking, the head was a much greater vital point than the abdomen, but Xiao An was not afraid of exchanging strikes since she had the protection of the golden avatar.

After reaching the sixth layer of the Guardian King’s Scripture of Demon Subdual, the golden avatar had become far tougher than anything a disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga could achieve at the same level of cultivation. Cutting through her golden avatar was not something a Demon General could achieve.

Dammit! If I had a suitable demon heart, that strike would have been able to split her head in half!

As that thought flashed through his head, the golden figure arrived right before him again. Sword qi swept out.

Xiao An only attacked without defending, allowing Lietu to leave behind slashes on the golden avatar while forcing him backwards. Blood constantly spurted from his body. A golden streak swept past and three of his fingers sailed through the air.

Li Qingshan kept his eyes shut and said without even looking back, “If you get any closer, I’m going to take action too.”

Lietu was utterly furious. Suddenly, he leapt backwards, arriving in the air and plunging his sword into his chest.

Li Qingshan was astounded. Don’t tell me this guy has lost his mind from anger!

“I want to kill you both! Evil Eye, give me power!”





Chapter 579: The Demon Suppression Tower | Legend of the Great Sage




The Evil Eye sword completely merged into Lietu’s chest, all the way until the hilt. However, despite being three meters long, the tip of the blade did not emerge from his back as if the sword had combined with his body.

Thrum! Clang! With a series of metallic sounds, several dozen swords burst out of his body, stabbing out of his back, arms, neck, and even mouth.

Lietu’s demon qi erupted. His body was covered with swords like a strange, twisted hedgehog of metal. He crouched on the ground, staring at Xiao An in resentment, having merged with the sword completely.

This was extremely similar to complete demonification. It was very difficult to turn back from. The Evil Eye would gradually devour him until he became a part of the sword. Basically every master of the Evil Eye had met their end like this, while the Evil Eye grew stronger and stronger.

However, before he was completely devoured, he would obtain great strength, enough to kill them.

“Even if I die, I’ll drag you all down with me!”

The eyeball became completely embedded in Lietu’s chest. It swiveled around, and a speck of green light suddenly appeared in the centre, turning into a green iris. It stared at Xiao An.
