Da Xuan Martial Saint - Chapter 985 - 494 Sand Sea Demon Cloud

Chapter 985: Chapter 494 Sand Sea Demon Cloud
Sha Prefecture.
Beyond Yunlu Pass.
In the vast yellow sands, several silhouettes could be seen jointly battling a demon.
This demon’s aura was exceptionally fierce and terrifying; it was indeed a Seventh Rank Demon King, whose strength had reached the threshold of a grandmaster, undoubtedly a vicious Overlord-level demon in the desert outside Yunlu Pass.
Yet at this moment, the demon was being firmly suppressed under the siege of five silhouettes!
The five silhouettes besieging it did not include any grandmaster-level figures, but each was a strong combatant in the Six Viscera Realm, all wielding spirit weapons. Leading them was none other than Xiahou Yan, the Defense Commander of Yunlu Pass!
The other five were also deeply rooted figures in the Six Viscera Realm, all True Inheritor Protectors from the Seven Profound Sect. Among them, the one with the weakest aura wielded a crystalline spirit long sword that emitted a formidable aura!
Superior Spirit Weapon!
Typically, spirit weapons of this grade were beyond the reach of ordinary grandmasters, but at this moment, they were in the hands of a martial artist in the Six Viscera Realm, without sparking any greed among the others.
The person holding the superior spirit weapon was a petite and exquisite young girl, with elegant eyebrows and eyes, resolute gaze; she was indeed Chen Mu’s sister, one of the Seven Profound Sect’s protectors now, Chen Yue!
Even though Chen Yue’s position was merely that of a protector in the Seven Profound Sect, her status throughout the sect was very high as Chen Mu’s only sister. The numerous peak masters and elders treated her with utmost courtesy.
Indeed.
Throughout the land, few dared to harbor any designs against Chen Yue.
She was after all the sister of Martial Saint Chen Mu. Did you not see the remains of the former emperor Ji Xuanming of the Da Xuan Dynasty Court deep within the Imperial City, still showcasing the terror and inviolability of Chen Mu, this Martial Saint!
At this time.
In the endless desert beyond Yunlu Pass, Chen Yue wielded the superior spirit weapon Green Vertical Sword, continually unleashing streaks of sword light. Although her foundation was slightly inferior, leveraging the superior spirit weapon that matched her attributes rendered her sword light’s power no less potent than the others. With the collaborative forces of the five, they completely suppressed the Demon King and struck it into continuous retreat.
“Roar!”
This Demon King was a Seventh Rank Mount Beast, imposing and cumbersome; although its methods were fierce, all of its enraged offensive tactics were continually neutralized by the five in various ways, unable to break free from their encirclement.
The Demon King, despite possessing a rudimentary intelligence akin to humans, was naturally far less insightful compared to humans. Otherwise, if a grandmaster were here, even the weakest freshly initiated into the Marrow Cleansing realm, they wouldn’t have been trapped by the five in the Six Viscera Realm, while this Demon King, although its force was formidable, didn’t understand adaptability nor how to craft breaches for a breakthrough through combat tactics.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
The clash between the five and the demon continuously erupted, with waves of demonic might shaking the surroundings, causing layers of sand in the desert to explode and clouds of dust to billow into the sky.
After a series of fierce assaults from the group, Xiahou Yan’s eyes suddenly flashed; with a mighty shout, he suddenly swung his spirit weapon, unleashing a strike, while another True Inheritor Protector from the Seven Profound Sect delivered a coordinated attack.
Boom.
Two well-timed killing blows momentarily caused the Seventh Rank Demon King Mount Beast’s front to freeze, exposing its middle completely, its demonic power temporarily collapsing, unable to regroup instantly, revealing a massive flaw.
Chen Yue, upon witnessing this, her eyes flashed immediately, and without hesitation, with a crisp cry, she stimulated her Yuan Gang True Essence, activating the spirit weapon in her hand, unleashing a cluster of magnificent sword light that shone like a shooting star piercing through the Heavens Vault.
“Green Cloud Seven Verticals!”
This was a swordsmanship move Chen Yue had cultivated, bursting forth with the superior spirit weapon Green Vertical Sword, it was currently her strongest finishing move, and even in Peak Master Chu Jingsui of Spirit Profound Peak, it was a rather remarkable move.
With this move unleashed, she soared upwards completely, her spirit long sword both weighty and supple, with a strange arc accompanied by streaking light, directly stabbing forth, using the Mount Beast’s exposed flaw, forcibly thrusting the sword deep into its chest, piercing all the way to the hilt!
“Roar!!!”
The howl of anguish from the Demon King Mount Beast echoed through the heavens.
Though a massive surge of demonic power erupted from it immediately, transforming into a scarlet torrent to blast Chen Yue away, rendering her unable to withdraw the Green Vertical Sword still embedded in the Mount Beast’s chest, this strike still dealt a substantial injury to the Demon King Mount Beast!
The sword’s edge penetrating through almost entirely skewered the heart and lungs of this Demon King Mount Beast!
Were it not for the immensely robust life force following its transformation into a Demon King, this strike would have already been a wholly fatal blow!
However.
Even if it was not lethal, the heavy injury rendered inflicted upon the Demon King Mount Beast pushed it into a declining phase, on its road to ruin, roaring crazily as it struggled to break out in one direction, now only seeking to escape the encirclement.
However, Xiahou Yan and the others would not let it slip away at this moment, launching consecutive killer moves, striving to halt the Demon King Mount Beast’s progress.
“Howl… Roar…”
The Demon King Mount Beast continually roared, its demonic power might erupt wildly, but in reality, its life force was rapidly weakening; thus, after a mere short encounter, half an incense stick’s worth of time, it began to spew blood from its mouth and nose ceaselessly.
With its demonic power unable to be sustained, it finally began to collapse, its massive, cumbersome body at last, amidst anguished roars, crashing into the yellow sands below, stirring up a mix of sand and demon blood.
