Chapter 587: The Three Swordsmen
The Demon King, having transformed into his true form, was gaining strength rapidly, and Sword Sky didn’t have it easy.
Especially since it was the most famous Dragon’s Breath of the Dragon Race, an acclaimed divine technique known for its terrifying suppressive power that most creatures could not resist.
And it was the breath of an eight-clawed Divine Dragon.
He felt a scorching burn, even though he was wearing a Soul Treasure, a robe surpassing Chaos Treasures, it surprisingly couldn’t insulate the heat, showing how powerful this breath was.
If this continued, he might have to reveal himself, what face would he have then?
"Talisman Shift."
As the words fell, a Talisman appeared before Sword Sky, shining with golden light.
In an instant, Sword Sky was enveloped by the golden light and disappeared as the Dragon’s Breath penetrated the ground, gradually dissipating, leaving only a bottomless pit!
"I hadn’t expected the attack of this eight-clawed Divine Dragon to be so terrifying, I couldn’t escape just now, as the entire space seemed suppressed. If it were a nine-clawed Divine Dragon, it might be invincible under heaven." Sword Sky appeared beside the Talisman God, looking fearfully at the eight-clawed Divine Dragon in the sky.
Thankfully, it wasn’t a one-on-one battle, or he’d likely not be a match for the Demon King.
Both being Divine Daoists, when the Demon King transformed into his true form, its power exploded exponentially, enough to crush him.
That’s the difference between humans and demons, especially the Dragon Race. If he had some divine techniques or secret techniques against the Dragon Race, that’d be another story.
"No worries, I happen to have learned a talisman specifically for dealing with the Dragon Race. With it, this little dragon can’t stir up waves." The Talisman God gently waved his Jade Fan, smiling calmly.
At these words, Sword Sky raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Didn’t expect the Talisman God to have this move, then quickly use it."
The Talisman God smiled, shook his hand, closed the Jade Fan, and began writing in the void, shortly forming obscure and complex runes into a Talisman.
"Go!" the Talisman God whispered.
Instantly, the Talisman flew towards the Demon King.
The Demon King, circling in the sky, noticed the approaching Talisman, sensed its suppressive power, and its dragon eyes widened in dismay, quickly turning to fly away.
"Want to leave? Ten Thousand Swords Forbidden Land, open!" Sword Sky ordered coldly.
In a split second, the world changed drastically, countless sharp swords fell from the sky, rapidly expanding to form a circle, surrounding the Demon King with no escape!
The Demon King violently swung its dragon tail at the Sword Array, trying to break free, but was bounced back by it, emitting a resonant sword sound.
Roar!!!
The Demon King roared in fury, continuously flailing its dragon tail, its body surging, attempting to break out.
The suppressive power was getting closer!
The approaching Talisman swiftly grew and elongated, and when the Demon King saw it clearly, it roared in terror.
"Dragon-Suppressing Talisman, it’s actually a Dragon-Suppressing Talisman!"
The terrifying voice echoed through the heavens and earth, and the Demon King felt dreadful as the opponent surprisingly knew the Dragon-Suppressing Talisman, a rarely known talisman, that the Dragon Race has been secretly destroying all methods that could deal with them.
The Dragon-Suppressing Talisman was mostly destroyed by the Dragon Race millions of years ago, but some remnants were ultimately unavoidable.
As the Talisman grew and elongated, it coiled around the Demon King’s body like a python. The Demon King struggled madly, but to no avail, the more it struggled, the tighter the Talisman bound, until its body was wrapped like a dumpling.
Boom!
The Demon King lost its strength and fell heavily from the sky, crashing to the ground like a dead snake.
It was in despair, never expecting the opponent would know the Dragon-Suppressing Talisman, a talisman naturally restraining the Dragon Race, able to limit most of their power, albeit for a short time, during which it becomes a lamb waiting for slaughter!
"Demon King, you’re like a helpless worm now." Sword Sky came to the Demon King’s front, stepping on its dragon head, and sneered.
An immense satisfaction filled his heart, for it was the eight-clawed Divine Dragon, something he alone could never handle.
Roar!!!
The Demon King spat out Dragon’s Breath, but at this moment, the breath was far less powerful than initially, only tickling Sword Sky.
"Shut up!" Sword Sky stomped down, nearly making the Demon King faint from the intense force.
"If you have the guts, release me, and we’ll duel one-on-one." The Demon King coldly challenged.
Never had it suffered such humiliation. It underestimated the opponent, never expecting them to know the Dragon-Suppressing Talisman, a talisman scarcely known among countless billions.
And it was the Evil Race no less.
"Do you think I’m stupid? Tell me where the Demon Slayer is, and I might leave you with an intact corpse, or else I’ll make soup out of you." Sword Sky coldly responded.
"Wishful thinking."
"You really don’t give up until you’re at death’s door!" Sword Sky threatened, raising his sharp sword, about to cut off one of the Demon King’s dragon horns.
Buzz!
Just then, a sword’s hum resounded, causing Sword Sky’s skin to erupt in goosebumps, realizing it was an enemy attack!
He swiftly retreated, a blade piercing into the ground, seeing the blood-red sword blade, he paused, then coldly smiled, looking up towards the sky: "Demon Slayer, you’ve arrived."
Indeed, two figures appeared in the sky, none other than Chen Lan and Yang Tian.
The Demon God Sword quickly flew back into Chen Lan’s hand, as he coldly gazed at the powerless Demon King lying on the ground, unleashing a Sword Qi that instantly cut through the Dragon-Suppressing Talisman.
In a flash, the Demon King rapidly retreated, coming to Chen Lan’s side, transforming into human form.
In human form, his strength might be diminished, but his recuperation would increase because his human form is smaller, whereas his true form is too large.
Now he needed a rapid replenishment of Spiritual Power to shake off the weakened state.
"You guys came." The Demon King looked at Chen Lan and Yang Tian with a heart full of gratitude, not expecting them to come to his rescue.
"Save your gratitude, let’s deal with the present trouble first." Yang Tian spoke indifferently, looking at Sword Sky and the Talisman God standing side by side, "Both are War Gods, powerful as the heavens, but the three of us can handle them."
"No, not just two." Chen Lan suddenly intervened, looking to the left, then to the right.
"As expected of the Demon Slayer, you discovered our presence." Two voices echoed, unexpectedly from both the left and the right, astonishing Yang Tian and Gu Changge.
The space cracked open, and from each side emerged identical beauties, with captivating appearances and enchanting smiles, but with an overwhelming aura.
"The Twin Charm Gods, twin sisters, both Divine Daoists with highly coordinated combat abilities, a terror among the Five Great War Gods," Yang Tian stated gravely.
"Also, don’t look at them too long, it could bewilder your mind." Gu Changge warned, shifting his gaze to Sword Sky.
The two practiced the Charm Dao, exceedingly strange, staring too long could cause one to lose their mind and be charmed, leading to distraction.
Countless people died because of this, as the twins’ power was freakishly formidable.
