Chapter 297: Dual Cultivator of Sword and Sigil

Chapter 297: Dual Cultivator of Sword and Sigil

After the grand battle of the Immortal Sword Rankings, the seven Hell Demon Sword Rings had finally converged upon the Heaven Burial Sword Soul!

At the moment, Yun Xiao triggered the seven Sword Rings, the demon magic within them erupting outAzure Heaven Firestorm, Illusory Moon, Netherworld Ghostwater, Bone Thunder's Spark, Blood Inheritance's Ghostfire, Necropolis Lament, and Seven Worlds Fox Heart!

A storm of demon magic immediately swept through the entire Flying Crane Hall!

"Fall back!" Nangong Xi hurriedly led the newly arrived students to retreat, sparing them from the crossfire of these Immortal level combatants.

These students, having no concept of cultivation realms beyond the Awakened Emperor Realm, were unsure if Yun Xiao, in just a few days, could emerge victorious. Naturally, their hearts were tinged with worry.

As the Nangong Xi, You Yue, and Su Lianlian urged the students to withdraw, they turned back to gaze upon the battle.

"His Sword Aura... that's at least 10,000 layers, right?"

Only then did they truly see the extent of Yun Xiao's Sword Aura, and their hearts skipped a beat.

For the Heavenly Realm, accustomed to 500 layers being around the upper limit for a Sword Aura, 10,000 layers were an untouchable miracle!

"And the demon magic for those Sword Rings..."

Before their eyes, Yun Xiao's sword gave birth to an enormous azure phoenix, coiling around the murky depths of the netherworld. The blade crackled and sizzled with ghoulish lightning serpents and tongues of crimson flames.

Above Heaven Burial, a pitch black moon hung in the sky, like an abyss devouring everything. Additionally, seven illusory worlds encircled it, echoing with the eerie cries of lamenting spirits within a vast necropolis.

"How terrifying!"

Everyone keenly felt the frightening power of Yun Xiao's Sword Aura and Sword Rings. It was beyond their wildest imaginations.

Any one of these demon magics far eclipsed the Eternal Joy Demon Emperor's Night March of a Hundred Ghosts!

On Yun Xiao's sword, it was as if seven ferocious ancient demons were shackled, unleashing an aura of untamed savagery!

To the Sword Cultivators, Yun Xiao's sword setup shattered their boundaries of common sense. Even to Fu Longxiang, a seasoned Inscription Cultivator, this was nothing short of staggering.

"A Sword Aura of 10,001 layers, and seven Hell Demon Sword Rings... this setup surpasses even that of the Sword Warden himself! The Sword Ruins has really pulled out all the stops..." Fu Longxiang furrowed his brow deeply.

Yun Xiao belonged to the younger generation, but he was wielding the might of a peak expert of the Nine Hells. He truly possessed the qualifications to sweep aside all other young talents.

"Thankfully, I brought the Calamity Seal Sword today!" Fu Longxiang thought to himself. "There have been many Sword Wardens of the Sword Ruins, but there's only one Calamity Seal Sword! Since ancient times, our Calamity Seal Sword could easily suppress the Sword Soul of any Sword Warden of the Sword Cultivators!"

Fu Longxiang was more wary of that little black beast. Seeing it showing no signs of intervening, he felt slightly relieved and pinned all his hopes of escape on this duel, his eyes flickering with a deadly resolve.

"He's stronger than the other Exiled Sword Immortal. If I slay him, I'll be doing a great service to the Nine Hells..." This thought flashed through Fu Longxiang's mind, his fighting spirit unwavering and blazing. As the heir to the Calamity Seal Purgatory, Old Chu's death did not deter him.

"The movements of us Inscription Cultivators might have been revealed, but the silver lining is that this is his homeland. Everyone here is his Achilles' heel. I have plenty of opportunities."

Nangong Xi, You Yue, and Su Lianlian, along with the entire Grand Temple and Heavenly Realm, were all potential hostages to be leveraged in his eyes.

With these thoughts, Fu Longxiang's resolve grew even more fearless. All these were rapid mental calculations he made in the blink of an eye. With each realization, his desire for battle intensified threefold.

In the end, his killing intent surged like a tempest, his demeanor as grand as the mountains!

"Why should a ruler of sigils fear a Sword Cultivator?" With a wave of his hand, Fu Longxiang summoned a dazzling array of colors. In his left hand, a blazing Life Sigil took shape, floating before him, resonating with his sacred power. Countless runic inscriptions flowed between him and the sigil.

The Withered Spirit Sword Canon was a top-tier sword technique of the Ku Family, ranked at Ignis grade, even more powerful than the Taiji Sword Art, and one of the fundamental pillars of Sword Ruins!

Fu Longxiang's execution of Rootless Grass with the Calamity Seal Sword captured its essence, showing Qingzan's dedication to teaching him swordsmanship.

Sadly, Yun Xiao had long grasped the full essence of the technique!

"This is what you call Rootless Grass!" With a casual flick, Yun Xiao unleashed a beam of azure light, a Flying Sword that seemed like illusory grass, yet trailed a deathly hell more than ten times its size.

It was a Flying Sword technique, but in Fu Longxiangs eyes, it birthed a massive vortex of death, like the gates of hell itself.

The sword carried spirits, shadows, and the wails of countless ghosts! It was a deeply sorrowful strike, like a rootless weed drifting, leaving no trace nor shadow. Yet, it embodied a profound resentment that triggered an explosion of deathly power!

Most importantly, the Heaven Burial Sword Soul and the demon magic of the seven Sword Rings perfectly complemented the attributes of the Withered Spirit Sword Canon.

In simple terms, Fu Longxiangs Flying Sword technique created a small grave, but Yun Xiao's effortless stroke was the true descent of the underworld! Even if Fu Longxiang was stronger, these two similar swords, in terms of momentum and sword intent, were not even in the same league!

The Calamity Seal Sword, with its myriad attributes of primal forces, didn't quite harmonize with the deathly Withered Spirit Sword Canon. On the other hand, the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, a true pillar of death, was the real harbinger of destruction!

In a fleeting moment, the two swords collided in mid-air!

KLANG! A piercing, ear-splitting explosion rang out!

Beneath the burst of deathly rays, the underworld of Yun Xiao's Rootless Grass opened up like a massive maw, swallowing the opponent's grave. The endless gray mist and deathly rays even tore through the myriad image prison!

BOOM! The Calamity Seal Sword trembled, letting out a mournful cry. Then, it was sent flying back, landing right in front of Fu Longxiang!

"What?!" Fu Longxiang, at the peak of his concentration, felt as if he'd been punched right on the nose by Yun Xiao, seeing stars!

The Heaven Burial Sword Soul, carrying the underworld on its blade, surged forward, instantly aiming for his eyes.

Fu Longxiang, snapping out of his daze, conjured up a shield of myriad colored light with the Myriad Manifestations Sigil, completely sealing off his body.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Under the continuous explosions, Fu Longxiang's blood churned, and he was sent reeling back, crashing out of the Flying Crane Hall and breaking through several walls!

SPUTTER! His organs in turmoil, Fu Longxiang turned deathly pale and suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood.

"He clashed head-on with the Calamity Seal Sword and suppressed me?"

Rage burned in Fu Longxiangs heart, his head throbbing with pain.

"Sword, come!" Reacting swiftly, he summoned the Calamity Seal Sword, which had absorbed his blood. It returned to his palm, reverting to its original two-foot width, unleashing the primal power of the vast and desolate wilderness once again!

"Who is this?!"

"So powerful..."

"But, he was thrown out of the Flying Crane Hall!"

Such a commotion naturally drew more attention, with many looking on in shock.

The Sword Cultivators inside the Flying Crane Hall, including Nangong Xi and her group, were exhilarated by this scene.

"Outside!" Their fear gone, they moved aside, standing at a distance, cheering Yun Xiao's name!
