Chapter 1046: Smoke Rises (VII)
The scene before the city wall was absolutely unprecedented in history.
Whether it was several sword immortals drawing their swords at the same time, or the fact that none of these sword immortals had previously belonged to the Great Liang Dynasty, both were without precedent.
For a time, sword light filled the sky. Streak after streak of differently colored sword light continuously appeared across the heavens, while vast clouds of demonic qi rose at the same time, only to be shattered one after another by those streaks of sword light. As a result, the sky was filled with a magnificent spectacle unlike anything seen before, and unlikely ever to be seen again.
The old sword immortal Gan Tang, flying sword in hand, closed in on a great demon and thrust out a sword. That sword drew upon the surrounding qi, striking from an angle almost impossible to imagine. More importantly, Gan Tang's sword had been incomparably well concealed before it was unleashed, so much so that it was almost impossible to detect. Yet after it had traveled forward for only a moment, its boundless sword qi erupted from something as tiny as a mustard seed, instantly spreading across the entire sky.
To call Gan Tang the number one swordsman beneath great sword immortals was no exaggeration.
This old sword immortal's attainments in sword dao were simply too solid.
After reacting, the great demon gathered vast amounts of demonic qi into his palm, while several dharma idols instantly appeared before him, each in a different posture, all taking human form from ancient exotic beasts.
Every one of those beasts wore a ferocious expression and wielded a different weapon. Coupled with the demonic qi they radiated, they looked like the ghostly enforcers of the underworld from ancient legends.
But it was obvious that, in front of this old sword immortal Gan Tang who had already resolved to seize the first victory, no matter what technique it was, it would be difficult to shake this old sword immortal's resolve.
