Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

16. Knife Plague

Once upon a time, there was a swordsman duo known as the "Yin Yang Sea Twin Peaks," the man named Huan Jian and the woman named Dao Wen. The two committed countless blood debts in the martial arts world and were ruthless killers.

Daowen, in particular, not only targeted martial artists, but what is even more heinous is that she also harmed many innocent children, which is simply outrageous and intolerable.

But before anyone could uphold justice and bring them to justice, the two men vanished without a trace.

It wasn't until the time of the Demon Suppression Record that Daowen reappeared when the Otherworld attacked Canliao Temple. It turned out that she had lost her original memories for some reason and was taken in by the temple, where she was given the Dharma name "Wuque" and had been cultivating there ever since.

As these memories surfaced in Teng Xielang's mind, the scarred nun's vicious sword strike was already about to slash at his chest!

Then cut him in two!

This was, of course, another afterimage of Teng Xie. After awakening his sixth sense, his thinking became extremely sharp and rapid. Those memories were just a fleeting thought; how could he have been killed because of a momentary lapse in concentration?

"Good idea."

Tengxie praised his moves, but what he admired even more was the power contained in his sword techniques.

When the plague of swords swept through, it left behind only incurable wounds and incurable swords, leaving only corpses and broken bones. The reason why the plague of swords and swords made the martial arts world turn pale with fear was because of its extremely strange internal energy. The sword light of the plague contained a twisting power with great destructive force, which could cause great damage to flesh and blood.

Take the unlucky Demon Thorn, for example. He wasn't struck in any vital organs, but the blade's energy wreaked havoc inside his body. His internal organs were necrotic, and he was barely breathing.

"Die!"

Daowen regained his memories due to the intense stimulation, and his heart was filled with crazy and twisted killing intent. He had no time to waste words with Tengxie. With a loud shout, he unleashed his ultimate move!

"Stunning Slash!"

"Raging waves and surging clouds!"

Daowen unleashed an incomparably sharp blade of light, and Tengxie countered with his ultimate technique, Daoyi Xienai unleashing a raging storm of black clouds. The clash of techniques caused a sudden burst of airflow!

boom!

The violent airflow shattered the entire Great Buddha Hall. Amidst the smog, Dao Wen had already locked onto Teng Xie's energy. With a flash, he slashed down with his sword!

Such powerful sword energy... Teng Xie knew that Dao Wen's sword energy was extremely destructive, but he still chose to confront it head-on. That was because he had already withdrawn his demonic dragon clone and used a secret method to have the black mist demonic dragon enhance his own power. Dao Wen's sword energy indeed penetrated his attack power and flowed through his hands along the Dao Yi Xie Nai, but it was blocked by Teng Xie's condensed demonic dragon energy.

Even so, Teng Xie still felt a slight stinging and soreness in his palm; this sword energy was truly formidable!

However.

Daowen had already rushed to Tengxie's side, unleashing three consecutive slashes. The sword moves were fierce and ruthless, sealing off all of Tengxie's movement techniques!

However, Daowen was surprised to find that she missed every time she struck!

As if he had foreseen the future, Teng Xie dodged and weaved, managing to avoid Dao Wen's fierce attacks without even letting Dao Wen touch the hem of his clothes!

This! Daowen found it unbelievable. He launched repeated attacks, but still made no progress!

"What's the use of a blade of energy, no matter how fierce it is, if it can't hit anyone?"

Daowen's martial arts foundation is profound, and her sword energy is extremely penetrating. If Tengxie were to fight her head-on, he would definitely suffer a great loss.

But why would Teng Xie fight her head-on? He has keen senses, can slow down his opponent's movements, and can predict his opponent's moves. He would be a fool to go head-to-head with Dao Wen.

"shut up!"

Seeing that a mere youth whose skill was inferior to hers dared to speak so arrogantly, Dao Wen was enraged. With a loud shout, the air around her body exploded, and she soared into the air, her energy locking onto Teng Xie. She pushed her true energy to its limit, ready to unleash her ultimate move!

Is this the end of the battle? Fine, Daowen's sword techniques are nothing to look at, and his sword energy is too brutal to experience firsthand... Tengxie's thoughts stirred, and his own energy surged forth, with a large amount of black mist instantly surging from his body, enveloping an area of ​​dozens of feet in it!

"A mere trifle! A furious brow that startles the soul!"

Dao Wen thought to himself, "I've already locked onto your aura. What good is it for you to block my view? Just die!"

With a roar, Dao Wen raised his longsword high with both hands, gathering a massive amount of sword energy, and slashed fiercely at the locked-on energy!

boom!

The blade energy erupted, and the black mist instantly dissipated. Teng Xie stood there motionless, and then a line of blade light flashed from the top of his head to between his legs, and he was cut in two!

Upon seeing the two pieces of flesh and blood, Daowen let out a cold laugh, but suddenly…

The black aura dissipated from the two bodies, revealing the body of Demon Thorn!

not good!

Dao Wen immediately sensed something was wrong, and saw Teng Xie's figure flash behind her. She felt a chill on her neck, and the hair on the back of her neck stood on end, but it was too late to dodge!

Bang!

Teng Xie struck him in the back with a palm strike before calmly speaking, "Eyes can lie, and so can senses."

He first used the black mist to obscure Daowen's vision, then separated the black mist dragon and let it possess Moci'er, using the dragon's energy to mislead Daowen's lock-on, and then struck a decisive blow.

"puff!"

Dao Wen crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his eyes still blazed with a fierce and cold light. He trembled as he got up, but then ignored his injuries and forcefully activated his true energy, determined to fight Teng Xie to the death!

But Teng Xie had already flashed to Dao Wen's side and suddenly opened his eyes!

Dao Wen felt Teng Xie's eyes burst forth with light, and this dazzling light instantly filled her vision!

Furthermore, a grand spiritual will surged directly at her consciousness!

"town!"

Buzz! Dao Wen felt as if a thunderous bell had struck her head, leaving her completely stunned!

Tengxie unleashed his vision, unleashing his accumulated true energy and spiritual power, instantly shocking Daowen's consciousness. He struck with lightning speed, covering her head with a palm. Taking advantage of her inability to control her true energy to counterattack, a surge of true energy rushed straight to the hidden injury in her brain!

Back then, Huan Jian was tired of killing and wanted to persuade Dao Wen to retire with him, but Dao Wen saw it as a betrayal. The two became enemies and drew their swords against each other. In the end, Huan Jian struck Dao Wen in the head with his sword, causing her to lose all her memories.

This time, Daowen was overstimulated, which caused her to break through the blood stasis in her brain injury and regain her memory, not because her injury had healed.

Tengxie's sixth sense allowed him to clearly perceive the flow of Daowen's blood and true energy, and naturally he also detected the blockage of blood and energy in her brain.

As for Daowen, he couldn't withstand the impact of true qi on his brain injury. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground without uttering a sound.

Although I am a demon and have no need to be a chivalrous hero, even as a demon, I despise you, you evil spirit who harms children... Teng Xie curled his lips, stretched out his fingers and tapped in the air to seal the Blade Plague Technique, clapped his hands, and finished his work.

"Shouldn't we just kill him outright?"

At this moment, Panxiong came over, looked at the Demon Thorn that had originally seemed salvageable but had now been split into two pieces, and asked this question.

"With your intelligence... I'll reluctantly explain it to you. Look at Mo Ci'er's wounds; they're all necrotic. He was already beyond saving. This is my way of avenging him. Besides, this woman's cultivation method is so unique; of course, we need to find out what's going on."

Actually, Teng Xie's palm strike was somewhat emotional and quite forceful. He wasn't sure if Dao Wen had driven him mad, but even if he was, it didn't matter. He could simply demonize his body, stuff a demon spirit into it, and he would become a powerful demon general.

Of course, given the unique nature of his cultivation method, it should be thoroughly studied before being demonized. We can't allow the Demon Lord to gain an extra general.

"Take Demon Thorn with you and return to the Demon Realm."

Teng Xie spoke calmly, and with a wave of her hand, a book flew out of Dao Wen's arms. It was her secret manual of sword techniques that she had never understood. Teng Xie put it away, then waved her hand to summon Dao Wen, carried her on her shoulder, and went back to the Demon Realm to report.
