The Southwest Eight Demons were originally eight great bandits of Jianghu. By a twist of fate, they became disciples of the swollen Daoist and learned to refine Flying Swords. They indulged in looting, despised men, bullied women, and committed all manner of evils. Each year, they sent the gold, silver, and beauties they robbed to the swollen Daoist for his enjoyment as a form of tribute.
When the Immortal Slaying Sword appeared in Jianghu, many Sword Immortals took notice. Ordinary people hearing a sword dare to be named "Immortal Slaying" wanted to see just how powerful it was. The powerful ones deduced that it was the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword that had escaped from the Star Constellations Sea years ago. Thus, they all rushed to inspect it first.
However, after seeing the sword, they were all greatly disappointed. It was just a slightly sharper ordinary treasure sword. Though it could cut through iron like mud, it was still considered mere iron in the eyes of Immortals. Moreover, its crafting technique was quite unique and did not conform to the Immortal Sword pattern, making it impossible to refine into an Immortal Sword. Gradually, the Sword Immortals lost interest and left it to the mortal world's knights of Jianghu to play with.
The Southwest Eight Demons hadn't originally planned to come today, but they had taken a new disciple over a year ago, Xu Yue.
Xu Yue had also been a lone bandit in Jianghu. Although he had not yet refined a Flying Sword and had just started learning Immortal Law, he still had the heart of a martial hero. He wanted to seize the Immortal Slaying Sword at Yellow Mountain to show off in front of his former friends in Jianghu.
Although he had already mastered the Five Ghosts Golden Sand Palm, he still felt unsure if he could dominate everyone. So, he asked his masters to come and support him, taking the opportunity while they were with Shi Longgu last year in the Southern Border collecting Hundred Insect Saliva, and detoured to Yellow Mountain to help the disciple seize the Immortal Slaying Sword.
With eight masters backing him, Xu Yue planned to wait for others to fight over it first, then enter the fray at the end to take the sword, so he had not made a move until then.
At this moment, the Southwest Eight Demons, including Xu Yue, had all been swayed by the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword. It had darkly manipulated their Primordial Spirits, making them accuse Shi Feiyang of being a demon and called everyone to attack him together.
These sword heroes regarded the Sword Immortals as divine: "The Sword Immortal commands! Let us all together slay the demon!"
"By command!" "By the decree!"
"Kill the demon, let's join shoulders!"
There were still over two hundred people on Tiandu Peak, all rushing toward Shi Feiyang with their weapons.
Li Zhenchuan roared and rushed to Shi Feiyang's side, first handing his treasure sword to Shi Feiyang, then swinging his palms into position: "Whoever dares touch a hair on my master's head must step over my dead body first!"
Shi Feiyang looked at him and remembered when he had just left Central Earth after a magic duel with Zhuge Jingwo and Lady Bao Xiang, being hotly pursued and running into Geng Peng.
He hadn't been very keen on taking a master back then and was only somewhat interested in learning the Twelve Heavenly Forbidden Technique. However, Geng Peng had been very eager to take him as a disciple, protected him in every way and, on the brink of death, had used the last of his strength to get him away from the battlefield, entrusting him to Xiankong Ancestor.
Now this Li Zhenchuan, who he had known for less than half a day and was nominally just a disciple by name, was also risking his life to protect him against so many enemies, which made Shi Feiyang somewhat emotional.
Over three hundred Jianghu individuals charged at them together, but Li Zhenchuan was fearless. He whispered to Shi Feiyang, "Master, I'll try to buy you some time. Jump off the cliff! With your Inner Strength and Qinggong, you might still have a chance!"
After saying that, he swung his palms ready to face a fate of being hacked into pieces.
But he found that these people had all stopped moving. Over three hundred people, each holding their sabers, spears, swords, and clubs, posed in various stances—some standing in bow stances, some balancing on one foot, some holding spears with both hands, others holding up swords with one hand. In an instant, they had all turned into statues, frozen as if time itself had stopped!
Li Zhenchuan was shocked and turned back to look at Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang had used a Prohibition Technique to immobilize everyone. As Li Zhenchuan turned around, he saw the Eight Demon sword lights flying toward him. Hastily, he pushed his hands out as if pushing open a window to look at the moon, generating a powerful Gang Wind that split the three hundred people into two groups, sending them flying and tumbling to either side, in total disarray.
The Eight Demons then simultaneously released their Flying Swords, all eight yellow beams flying toward him.
Li Zhenchuan was also blown away by the Gang Wind, landing several meters away, witnessing the Sword Immortal's Sword Control, absolutely astonished.
Even more astounding was yet to come. Shi Feiyang, his newly met master, reached out with his hands as if grabbing flies, plucking the air to scatter the yellow light, grabbing the eight wildly twisting Flying Swords in his hands. He clapped and rubbed his hands together, instantly turning them into many yellow sparks that scattered in all directions, turning to iron slag upon hitting the ground!
Then, Shi Feiyang vanished on the spot and in the next moment, reappeared in front of the Eight Demons.
As the Eight Demons were furiously taking out their Magical Treasures—some holding small flags embroidered with the Eight Diagrams, which Shi Feiyang snatched and shredded; some holding copper bells wrapped in black Qi, which Shi Feiyang grabbed and crumpled; some pulling out three blue, shining flying knives, which Shi Feiyang dodged and snapped into six pieces...
Shi Feiyang not only destroyed their Magical Treasures but also kicked each person, including Xu Yue, knocking all to the ground.
Li Zhenchuan blinked, and all eight demons were down in no time.
Shi Feiyang wiped his hands, "Not just you rotten heads, even if its you master... your master is Huang Su, right?"
The Great Demon Huang Su, clutching his kicked pelvis, said painfully, "Since you know who our master is, you still dare to destroy our Flying Sword Magical Treasure..."
Shi Feiyang said, "Even if your master were here, I would thrash him just the same!"
The Eight Demon Qiu Ling retorted, "If you're really not afraid of our master, let us go and wait for us to bring him here. If you dare repeat those words to his face without changing a single word, we will accept you!"
Shi Feiyang smiled, "What do I care about your acceptance?"
He turned to Zhao Xinyuan, "Come out! You can't stay in there forever, can you?"
Zhao Xinyuan's eyes reddened as he looked at him, speechless.
Everyone else was puzzled, wondering what he was letting out.
Shi Feiyang frowned slightly, sensing something was off. As he pondered, Zhao Xinyuan suddenly roared, opening his arms and lunging at Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang raised his hand and cast the Five-Colored Divine Light, trapping Zhao Xinyuan in place before him.
Hanging in the air, limbs hovering off the ground, he roared again, and his neck suddenly snapped, his head detaching from the torso, both shoulders, and both hips splitting apart.
The head, torso, arms, and legs all split into six pieces, accompanied by a mass of blood, transforming into an expanding Demon Light that erupted with a loud bang!
It was the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Great Technique!
Shi Feiyang, considering Zhao Xinyuan to be a righteous character from the original story who later became a disciple of Ling Hun from the Snow Mountain Sect, did not want to see him gruesomely die by the Demon Sword possessing him. He planned to use the Five Elements Essence Qi to wrap around his body first, then infuse the viscera, protecting the meridians and organs, to force out the Demon Sword.
But he hadn't anticipated the Demon Sword's sheer malevolence, controlling him to deploy the Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
As the Demon Light expanded and exploded violently, Shi Feiyang himself was unfazed, but there were over three hundred Martial Heroes on the ground that he had restrained with Mysterious Sect Techniques.
He cast spells with both hands, and the various colors of light in his palms burst forth—from the dark green of Jia Wood, the tender green of Yimu, the bright red of Bing Fire, the orange-red of Ding Fire, the ocher of Earth Element, the bright yellow of Earth, the bright white of Geng Metal, the gray-white of Xin Metal, the dark black of Ren Water, to the abyssal black of Gui Water—ten colors formed a rainbow aurora, spreading out to form a wall of light several feet thick, protecting everyone on the ground.
The Demon Light struck the aurora, causing small ripples.
The over three hundred Martial Heroes, including Li Zhenchuan, watched the explosion of red light through the aurora, witnessing a spectacle they had never seen before in their lives, utterly astonished.
Zhao Xinyuan's Mana, after all, was not strong, and the impact of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration that he deployed was limited, unable to shake Shi Feiyang's Five Elements Essence Qi.
While the Demon Light exploded, previously knocked down Eight Demons, including Xu Yue, all flew up from the ground, each wrapped in a sphere of Demon Light, shooting off in directions of north, south, east, and west like arrows released from bows!
With Zhao Xinyuan's body blasted apart, the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, which had been hidden within him, seized the opportunity while Shi Feiyang was saving him. It switched hosts and controlled nine people to flee in all directions. During their flight, the bodies of all nine people rapidly melted, their muscles, skin, and bones all dissolving into a bloody liquid, eventually turning into a foot-long red Demon Light, fleeing away from Tiandu Peak in various directions.
Shi Feiyang saw this and shouted, "Where do you think you're escaping to?"
Before his words fell, various gates began appearing in the clouds above Tiandu Peak.
His greatly simplified version of the LiangYi Six Harmonies Micro Dust Formation, totaling twelve flag gates, now all appeared!
