Chapter 872 840: Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber
As Lu Ping finished speaking, Jiuhua True Monarch and the others nodded silently.
Before they could respond, Lu Ping had already taken action.
He commanded the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword, and as this flying sword was dispatched, it unleashed an incredibly powerful force.
Even lacking a Sword Soul, the power this Immortal Sword emitted surprised Lu Ping.
The Immortal Sword targeted a nearby Outer Realm Demon, causing the demon's face to display anger.
"How audacious!"
The demon roared with anger, showing an indignant expression and immediately executed a strange body technique to dodge away.
The Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword was fast, but the Outer Realm Demon was not slow in its movements.
This time, it dodged Lu Ping's sword.
Lu Ping's missed strike was anticipated, and he did not feel any regret.
This was his first time using the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword in combat, and he was still familiarizing himself with the Immortal Sword.
The speed of the first strike was slow, and its power was weak, which was reasonable.
As Lu Ping moved, Jiuhua True Monarch and others naturally didn't remain idle.
Having cultivated to the Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage, each of them was steady-minded and smart; why would they just watch at this time?
Since Lu Ping had made a move to help, why would they just watch? Naturally, they would act immediately, to quickly eliminate the Outer Realm Demons present.
If not slain now and the demon escapes, it will be troublesome to find it later.
"Fellow Daoists, act!"
Liu Taixuan shouted, his face brimming with intense fighting intent.
As cultivators from the Dubhe Institute, their task was to eradicate the Outer Realm Demons. With Lu Ping, a Nascent Soul True Monarch, assisting, Liu Taixuan couldn't be happier.
With Lu Ping's addition, Jiuhua True Monarch and others gained more confidence in battle, leaving no mercy and unleashing their strongest techniques.
Especially Chen Xianhe, who, due to the battle formation, found himself with only two Nascent Soul True Monarchs on his side, forcing him to brace himself for cross-stage combat against a Nascent Soul Evil Demon.
To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
With Lu Ping's assistance, the pressure on him was greatly reduced. At least he didn't need to confront an Outer Realm Demon alone.
Liu Taixuan stepped in to assist him against an Outer Realm Demon.
The three Nascent Soul Evil Demons each had their opponents.
Lu Ping launched his sword again, and the power unleashed by this Immortal Sword was a few degrees stronger than before, making the Nascent Soul Evil Demons apprehensive.
It chose to dodge again, executing that strange body technique once more.
This time, Lu Ping wouldn't fall for the same trap. Having anticipated this, he executed the Chengying Sword Form, enhancing his body technique's agility.
As for other sword forms, Lu Ping did not use them, wanting to test the true power of the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword and see if he could slay the Nascent Soul Evil Demon by merely wielding this Immortal Sword.
The Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword shot out powerful Sword Qi, its blade radiating a pale gold, not particularly dazzling, but rather showing restraint.
The power of this strike reached its peak, far surpassing the potential of Lu Ping's previous Cyan Cloud Sword and Celestial Ruins Demon-Slaying Sword.
With a sharp clang.
The Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword struck the Nascent Soul Evil Demon's body, leaving it unable to evade, taking the hit head-on.
A cut was opened on its body; its defense, however strong, couldn't withstand the attack of such an Immortal Sword.
This made it roar and distance itself from Lu Ping.
Visibly, at the place it was cut, golden Sword Qi dissipated, the Demon-slaying Sword Qi having a restraining effect on the demon, the power of the Immortal Sword immense.
"Great swordsmanship!"
Liu Taixuan praised as he witnessed the power of Lu Ping's strike, deeply impressed.
Imagining himself fighting the Outer Realm Demon for dozens of rounds without breaching its defense, remaining on the defensive, he could only try to restrain his opponent.
But Lu Ping, with just a second strike, grievously wounded the Nascent Soul Evil Demon.
Lu Ping's strength was unexpectedly powerful.
"Lu Daoist's strength is truly hidden."
Seeing the might of Lu Ping's strike, even Jiuhua True Monarch was surprised, feeling astonished.
He glanced at Lu Ping out of the corner of his eye and dared not be careless, using all his magical power to engage in battle with an Outer Realm Demon.
"I underestimated you!"
The Outer Realm Demon, heavily wounded by Lu Ping, displayed an angry expression.
It never thought Lu Ping's second strike would be so strong that it led to its downfall.
Lu Ping remained silent, his eyes shimmering with divine light, almost becoming tangible.
His entire body's magical power was unrestrained, continuously releasing, with his aura reaching an unprecedented peak, capturing the attention of many cultivators around.
They all knew Lu Ping had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, but hadn't witnessed his specific strength before.
Now seeing Lu Ping in action, they watched intently.
The Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword moved, its attack straightforward and decisive, with no hesitation, directly aiming to cut down the Nascent Soul Evil Demon.
The wounded Nascent Soul Evil Demon, not focusing on healing its wound, its eyes blood-red, stared at Lu Ping, determined to kill him here.
Facing this sword attack, it did not choose to dodge this time, instead proactively deploying a Magical Artifact.
The Magical Artifact was a blood-red Celestial Saber, looking very similar to the Blood-Transforming Demon Saber, known as the Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber.
The Blood-Transforming Demon Saber is actually a magical artifact derived from imitating the Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber.
However, due to secrecy and cultivation technique factors, when these Outer Realm Demons passed on to the Blood Demon Sect's Sect Leader and many demon cultivation techniques back then, they secretly withheld some information, not imparting the complete Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber.
They instead passed on a weakened version of the Blood-Transforming Demon Saber.
The power of this Blood-Transforming Demon Saber was less than half of the Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber.
As for the Black Demon Blood, though also created by Outer Realm Demons, it was also a truncated version.
With a buzz!
The Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber appeared, and as soon as it did, it stirred up a bloody aura.
This Celestial Saber appeared blood-like in color, very striking, exuding a rolling aura of evil demon; at first glance, it looked difficult and problematic to deal with.
Refining the Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber, like the Blood-Transforming Demon Saber, requires constantly slaying numerous creatures to sacrificially refine.
Looking at the form and aura of the Blood-Transforming Celestial Saber, over one hundred thousand creatures must have been killed to refine this saber.
This Outer Realm Demon was indeed ruthless, with countless souls under his hands.
