Chapter 202: Chapter 106: Profound Carp Association Mode

“Just ’a little tricky?’”

The young man smiled faintly at Yang Jing, but a vicious glint flashed in his eyes.

He had never seen such an arrogant disciple from the Six Sects. Even a True Disciple of the Taixu Sword Sect wouldn’t be this contemptuous.

The young man took out a Taiyin Seven Evils Banner, and a heavy shroud of Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi enveloped his body.

Whether they were cultivators from the Six Sects or Demon Cultivators from the Four Sects, the first priority when engaging a Sword Cultivator in Magical Combat was always self-protection. Sword Cultivators were simply too fast. A single moment of carelessness could result in a Flying Sword piercing one’s skull, leading to a bitter death before one could even display their full Power.

The Spiritual Light flickering from his Taiyin Seven Evils Banner was brimming with Spiritual Essence, far surpassing the banner in Yang Jing’s possession.

In the next instant, the roiling Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi morphed into Demon Flood Dragons, Demon Serpents, and Demon Crows, which flew at Yang Jing from all directions.

The young man’s mastery over the Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi far surpassed that of Wu Chunqiu from their last encounter.

Yang Jing wasn’t the least bit surprised. ’If I’m not mistaken, this must be Wei Ying—the future number one Golden Core Cultivator of the Dark Spring Demon Sect, and quite possibly the top Golden Core of all Four Demon Sects.’

’In the original timeline, Wu Chunqiu, who would become known as the Biyuan Ancestor, was still inferior to this man, even with the help of Yinjiao, a beast he had refined into a Blood Flood Dragon.’

’A disciple as highly valued by his Sect as him would naturally have been provided with the means to overcome the Celestial Demon’s Obstructing Path Tribulation. He shouldn’t have needed to risk coming to the Northern Domain for a Taiyin Illusion Demon Banner.’

Yang Jing channeled his Magical Power, and a deafening thunderclap erupted around him. Flashes of Five-Colored True Thunder crackled wildly, bombarding the Demonic creatures formed from the Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi.

This type of Demonic Qi was tough and dense, with the ability to defile and corrode Spiritual Artifacts. Among the Demon Sect’s many techniques, it was the most effective counter against Flying Swords.

But against a Thunder Technique—the epitome of the unyielding and the purely positive—it was the one that was countered.

As the lightning danced, the Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi held on for only a few breaths before dissipating into nothing.

The Demon-Catching Tripod at Yang Jing’s side suddenly shot out chains, binding three Celestial Demons in the air. These Celestial Demons were as gaunt as monkeys, with concave heads, three claws, and bodies covered in fine, bloody scales.

They were none other than three Blood Demons.

After Demon Summoning, this type of Celestial Demon needed to possess Essence Blood to manifest. It could become incorporeal, and even if its body was shattered, it could dissolve into blood and reform, making it incredibly tricky for ordinary cultivators to handle.

At Yang Jing’s command, the three Blood Demons were dragged shrieking into the Demon-Catching Tripod. A moment later, they fell silent.

A bitter feeling arose in Wei Ying’s heart. He had never encountered such a troublesome Righteous Cultivator.

Against an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, all he had to do was feign an attack with his Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi to throw them into a panic. They would only realize a Blood Demon had gotten close when they were being torn to shreds.

Even if a cultivator was vigilant enough to spot a Blood Demon, they rarely had any effective way to counter such a difficult Celestial Demon. They’d become distracted, and in their panic, he would cut them down.

Who could have expected an anomaly like Yang Jing, who wielded a Demonic Spiritual Artifact like the Demon-Catching Tripod with more skill than most Demon Sect cultivators?

He gritted his teeth. On one hand, he brandished a blood-red Long Saber, which flared with crimson light and shot out sharp, bloody lines toward Yang Jing. On the other, he unleashed all the various Celestial Demons he had previously subjugated to harry his opponent.

These were Celestial Demon Blood-Sucking Lines—peerlessly sharp threads that could steal an enemy’s Essence Blood upon piercing their body, a truly vicious technique. It was a prerequisite Magic for the Dark Spring Demon Sect’s Divine Forbidden Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light.

Yang Jing responded by raising his Golden Crow Pure Yang Mirror, unleashing a Sun God’s Ray to counter the Celestial Demon Blood-Sucking Lines. At the same time, he activated the Demon-Catching Tripod, pulling in every single Celestial Demon without exception.

Hiding in the distance, Zhonglan Cha was utterly dazzled. She never imagined that Yang Jing possessed such astonishing power. She wouldn’t be able to withstand a single one of the techniques he displayed; she couldn’t even intervene to help Senior Brother Wei Ying.

The mere aftershocks of the Five Elements True Thunder terrified her subjugated Hair-Head Demon and Nine Sons True Demons. If she forced them forward, they would likely turn on her immediately.

After dozens of exchanges, Wei Ying was already drenched in sweat. He had used every trick up his sleeve, save for his final trump card, yet Yang Jing on the other side remained completely at ease.

What unsettled Wei Ying the most was that, apart from the single strike that had killed Jie Ze, Yang Jing had not drawn his sword again.

A sheathed sword is the most terrifying kind. Wei Ying’s nerves were stretched taut, constantly on guard against Yang Jing’s Sword Qi Thunder Sound. If he hadn’t forged such a resilient will in the Dark Spring Demon Sect, he would have likely collapsed and surrendered already.

Due to the Five Elements of Mutual Generation and Inhibition, each bolt of Five Elements True Thunder was stronger than the last. The barrage left the Taiyin Seven Evils Banner struggling to cope, and the Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi within it was being rapidly depleted.

BOOM!

A flash of lightning, and a magnificent bolt of Five Elements True Thunder slammed into the dense layers of Taiyin Seven Evils Demon Qi. It vaporized a massive amount of Demonic Qi, its momentum barely halting just before it reached Wei Ying.

That single bolt of True Thunder caused the Restrictions on the Taiyin Seven Evils Banner to flicker violently, showing signs of collapse.

Wei Ying simply couldn’t comprehend it. He had engaged in Magical Combat with Righteous Foundation Establishment Cultivators skilled in Thunder Techniques before, but none of them possessed this kind of power. It felt as though he were facing the might of the heavens itself.

He had already lost more than half of the Celestial Demons he had subjugated, yet that damnable Demon-Catching Tripod showed no sign of reaching its limit.

Suddenly, the relentless barrage of Five Elements True Thunder ceased.
