Chapter 783: That Sword Stunned the World!

Suppressed by the Demonslaying Seal, Qing Que struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with confusion as if he was puzzled by Lin Mu’s words.

Shangguan Shiming also looked at Lin Mu as he advanced step by step.

"I’m not using Godslaying or Immortal Execution. I’m using Demonslaying! Do you truly not know the reason? Are you still going to pretend in front of me?"

The words were earth-shattering.

Shangguan Shiming’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Indeed, Lin Mu always resorted to Godslaying or Immortal Execution when facing his enemies. He even used the Heavenly Emperor Nine Steps! But he had never used Demonslaying. Demonslaying, as the name implied, was for slaying demons.

I was just wondering why Lin Mu chose to use Demonslaying instead of the more powerful Immortal Execution, Shangguan Shiming thought. Now, I think I understand. Is Lin Mu saying that the Peach Blossom Sword Immortal is a demon? That Qing Que, who executed the Sword of the Mortal Path with such profound emotion, is a demon?

She found it impossible to believe.

Disbelief also colored Qing Que’s eyes.

"Lin Wudi! A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! If you dare to ruin my name, I’ll haunt you even as a ghost!" Qing Que howled wretchedly, on the verge of madness.

Lin Mu stated coolly, "That you kill to practice your swordsmanship has nothing to do with me!"

"That you slaughter the masses does not concern me!"

"But you never should have tried to use me as a catalyst to break through to Foundation Establishment!"

"You are nothing but a vile creature from the class of Demons and Monsters who walks the demonic path, yet you dare to play mind games in front of me!"

"I’ve already told you—you will die today!"

His words were like blades, each one stabbing into the heart.

Qing Que roared in a frenzy, "Lin Wudi, you despicable villain! Killing me is one thing, but this humiliation... AH...!"

His roar was cut short as the Demonslaying Seal suddenly flared with power. The black aura erupting from his body grew even denser. The crimson Sword Qi was gradually tainted by the black aura, turning a corrupted red. Black peach blossoms scattered wildly across the sky, a truly bizarre and unsettling sight!

Shangguan Shiming hadn’t believed Lin Mu at first, but this scene made her heart leap into her throat.

Something is terribly wrong with Qing Que! That black aura...

"As the dignified Emperor Zun, I have no need to slander a trifling little demon like you!"

"Since you still wish to argue, then I will let the world see who you truly are!"

Lin Mu pointed a finger, and an arcane rune materialized upon the Demonslaying Seal. In the next instant, the black aura around Qing Que’s body exploded.

The visions from his Sword of the Mortal Path reappeared in the empty air!

There was an innkeeper greeting guests!

There were vendors hawking their wares in the streets!

There were children eating candied haws!

There was an old man shuffling forward!

There was a mother spanking her naughty child’s bottom!

The myriad scenes of city life, all contained within a single sword strike! A sword strike that had astounded the world!

But the next moment, the scene changed.

Just as the innkeeper finished greeting a guest, the man offered a ghostly smile and struck out with his sword! The innkeeper was obliterated, his very soul absorbed by the crimson longsword. After absorbing the soul’s agonized scream, the crimson longsword gained a trace of black.

The vendor was beheaded in the middle of his sales cry!

The child, with half a candied haw still in his mouth, was cleaved in two.

The shuffling old man had his limbs severed. He crawled and wailed before finally dying a miserable death!

The mother and child lay dead in a pool of their own blood!

Death. Death. Death. Ruin. Ruin. Ruin.

Everyone from the bustling city vision of the Sword of the Mortal Path died a tragic death. The only thing that remained in the vision was the sword, its blade gradually turning from crimson to pitch-black!

The Peach Blossom Sword Immortal was actually the Black Peach Blossom!

A demon!

This man was an unforgivable demon!

In the rapidly shifting scenes, the number of people he had slaughtered was simply countless.

Shangguan Shiming took a step back, looking at Qing Que in horror.

My own aspirations are as high as the heavens, and I view all living beings as ants. But even so, I simply ignore them as if they’re not there. This man, however, revels in slaughtering those ants. Especially near the end... his Demonic Skills were already perfected, and he had reached the peak of the Qi Cultivation Twelfth Floor, yet he continued to kill purely for his own amusement! This man deserves to die!

Qing Que never imagined that this exiled immortal from the secular world possessed a method to manifest everything he had ever done!

"Lin Wudi, you..."

"Die!"

Lin Mu pressed down with one hand, and the Demonslaying Seal descended with a thunderous roar.

The black aura around Qing Que’s body instantly exploded. With his disguise gone, his strength soared once more! A black Extreme Realm Consciousness swept out in all directions, annihilating all life it touched.

But it was too late.

Demonslaying Seal, Demon Slayer!

CRACK!

The sound of shattering bones echoed.

"I refuse to accept this! I am an exiled immortal of the extreme realm! I am the lord of the Ancient Land! I am—"

Under the Demonslaying Seal, the demon’s form perished and its soul dispersed.

All his defiance!

All his indignation!

All his ambition!

All his resentment!

They were all slaughtered and utterly eradicated!

BOOM!

The Demonslaying Seal expanded dramatically, suppressing the entire area. When it rose into the air again, the Peach Blossom Sword Demon Qing Que had been reduced to ash.

Shangguan Shiming thought she heard a new voice added to the mournful howls on the Demonslaying Seal. That soul sometimes transformed into a black peach blossom, other times into a twisted human figure. Each time, it would be incinerated within the seal, only to be reborn and destroyed again. This cycle of torment would repeat for all eternity, with no hope of transcendence.

Only then did Shangguan Shiming finally understand why Qing Que had never joined a Sect. No Sect would dare shelter an exiled immortal of the extreme realm who delighted in slaughtering the masses for sport! The moment such a person’s true nature was exposed, they would be hunted down and killed by all! It wouldn’t matter even if he was an exiled immortal of the extreme realm capable of leading a Sect to glory.

Demons were not to be approached!

"Master, your servant knows she was wrong!" Shangguan Shiming prostrated herself, her forehead touching the ground.

I was so blind. I completely misjudged the Peach Blossom Sword Demon. I even considered defying Master’s will to plead for him. How utterly ridiculous! How pathetic!

Lin Mu paid her no mind. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing up at the sky.

"This Ancient Land is truly old and corrupt!"

Shangguan Shiming’s body trembled, but she dared not utter another word.

「Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion, Inner Sect.」

It was a grand day for the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion. Aside from the Elders stationed in the major cities, every Foundation Building Immortal had returned to the sect.

In the main hall of the Inner Sect, Pavilion Master Zhuge Jingyun of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion stared emotionlessly at the message on his Communication Talisman.

A purple-robed Elder could no longer contain himself. "Pavilion Master, rumors are spreading that our Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion has produced a Banished Immortal Seed of the extreme realm. Is this true?"

The other Elders also looked at Zhuge Jingyun with grave expressions. A few of them couldn’t even suppress their excitement, their fingers trembling slightly. An exiled immortal of the extreme realm could lead the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion to another 1,500 years of glory! How could they not be thrilled?

Zhuge Jingyun, however, did not answer the purple-robed Elder. Instead, he stated coldly, "Liuyun Immortal is dead."

Everyone was stunned.

Liuyun Immortal was the City Lord of Heavenly Origin City! It was rumored that the Banished Immortal Seed, Shangguan Shiming, had appeared in Heavenly Origin City, and now Liuyun was dead! Tian Yuan was one of the Celestial Northern Dipper Pavilion’s seven major cities, yet its City Lord, Liuyun, had actually been killed!

"Pavilion Master, is the Banished Immortal Seed safe?"

They cared nothing for Liuyun’s life or death, but Shangguan Shiming had to be safe!

"I don’t know," Zhuge Jingyun said coldly. "The last message from Heavenly Origin City reported that Liuyun and eight other Foundation Building Immortals were killed."

Everyone was shocked again. Eight Foundation Builders were a force capable of suppressing an entire region.

"Could it have been that Proud Son of Heaven from the secular world at Shangguan Shiming’s side?"

"How foolish! What does it matter if he killed Ao Guang? As long as the Banished Immortal Seed returns to the Sect, what’s the harm in treating Lin Wudi as our most distinguished guest!"
