Chapter 1132 - Chapter 1132 Chapter 1134 Snatching_1

Chapter 1132: Chapter 1134: Snatching_1 Chapter 1132: Chapter 1134: Snatching_1 Upon seeing Song Jian submit, a hint of mockery flashed across the girl’s face, and she continued, “You better take out that big guy first before talking about joining the Imperial Sword Sect. Do you think it’s something you can just decide to join on a whim?”

After speaking, the light screen before her vanished, and as the girl’s figure slowly faded away, only her mocking smile remained imprinted in Song Jian’s heart.

“She’s too powerful; I had no chance to resist at all…” Song Jian felt like there was a huge stone pressing on his chest, even breathing became somewhat difficult, “Even if I were to use the Thousand Swords Art or the Red Lotus Sword Array, I’m afraid I still wouldn’t be able to subdue that girl!”

To Song Jian, the Legendary Tier was an insurmountable mountain. Even being at the peak of third-tier combat power, just one step away from Legendary Tier, that one step was like a deep chasm, seemingly impassable. Even with the Flame King’s King Level boss pedigree, after spending hundreds of years, it still couldn’t make the leap.

Moreover, Song Jian only possessed second-tier combat power. In front of someone at the Legendary Level, he probably wouldn’t even compare to an ant.

Looking at the multi-armed demon still struggling within the Sword Formation, Song Jian thought to himself, “No matter what, I must first rescue Song Ya and the others. With the girl’s strength, she probably hasn’t deceived me!”

Thinking about how the girl suddenly increased her “price,” Song Jian also doubted whether the girl would keep her word.

Rumbling~

Even though surrounded by the Sword Formation, the multi-armed demon did not give up fighting. The sounds of explosions were endless, and the dark red lotus leaves on the surface of the Sword Formation trembled lightly. Some leaves at the edges even shattered into pieces. Every shattered leaf was equivalent to the loss of a Spirit Sword, and once the number of Spirit Swords dropped to a certain level, the entire Sword Formation would no longer be able to maintain itself.

Fortunately, the Thousand Swords Art had been upgraded to level eleven, and even the multi-armed demon, a Dominator Level boss, could not break through the Thousand Swords Art at the Legendary level. After a standoff, the Sword Formation automatically evolved to the second phase. The Red Lotus Sword plummeted down, ruthlessly slashing at the neck of the multi-armed demon.

The multi-armed demon let out a roar, swinging three arms to punch the Red Lotus Sword. The Red Lotus Sword in mid-air seemed to have been enraged by the demon’s resistance, spinning twice in the air as if controlled by a skillful swordsman. It then cut at the demon’s arm from an eerie angle.

Pfft~

A gush of blood appeared, and one of the multi-armed demon’s underarms was severed, instantly ground into dust by the Sword Qi. The demon let out a shrill scream, its tall figure stumbled back two steps, and then it collapsed with a crash, sitting down heavily.

Sword Qi whirled around, relentlessly striking the demon’s body. Having lost an arm, the demon’s defense greatly weakened, and Sword Qi carved wound after wound into its flesh, with fresh blood spurting out.

The Red Lotus Sword spun in the air and continued to fall toward the demon’s neck. With both arms propping up its body, the demon, seeing the descending sword, revealed a resigned look in its eyes. It could only twist its body slightly, so instead of hitting its neck, the Red Lotus Sword struck down hard on its shoulder.

The gravely injured multi-armed demon, feeling the threat of death, knelt on the ground and clutched the Red Lotus Sword with both hands, unmindful of the blood seeping from its palms cut open by the blade.

“This sword is mine now!” the multi-armed demon roared loudly in the Abyssal language.

“But that’s not a real sword at all!” Song Jian said softly, having never seen anyone try to seize the Red Lotus Sword before.

Just when Song Jian thought the multi-armed demon was delusional, the demon suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood onto the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword and began to chant a strange incantation.

The entire incantation was in the Abyssal language. As Song Jian listened, he only caught a few syllables before a wave of dizziness hit him, and two trails of blood began to seep from his nostrils.

Song Jian wiped away a trail of blood from his nose and glanced at his Vitality Points; the spell chanted by the multi-armed demon had inflicted upon him a debuff of continuous health loss, draining one hundred and fifty Vitality Points every second.

But what shocked and surprised him the most wasn’t this. To his amazement, he discovered that the multi-armed demon seemed truly intent on wresting away the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword. At this moment, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword appeared to be bound, a dark and sinister aura emerging on the blade’s surface and slowly permeating deeper into the steel.

“How is this possible!” Song Jian’s face was filled with aghast astonishment. He knew that the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Swordsman was not a real sword existing in the flesh but the second tier of the evolution of the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation. If it could be taken away, what about the Sword Qi Palm Imprint and the Sword Qi Stone Tower that followed–could they be snatched away as well?

If they were indeed stolen, would his power decrease when casting the Thousand Swords Art–or even worse, would the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword fail to evolve at all?

At that thought, Song Jian became restless. As he prepared to rush forward, a gigantic palm suddenly materialized above the demon’s head. The third tier had evolved in an instant, and within a mere few seconds, the Sword Qi Palm Imprint pressed down towards the multi-armed demon who was mid-incantation.

By now, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword had been almost entirely eroded by the Abyssal aura; its resistance was weakening, and the demon had even managed to grasp the Red Lotus Sword in its hands. When the Sword Qi Palm Imprint descended, the demon had no time to react and was directly squashed into the magma.

The enormous body was wholly covered by the palm imprint, leaving only an arm holding the Red Lotus Sword exposed. The chanting broke off, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword suddenly flared brightly, and the towering karmic flames burned away the Abyssal aura, reforging it back into a blade that shimmered with a metallic glow.

Whoosh~

With a soft sound, the Red Lotus Sword forcefully wrested free from the demon’s grip, spiraling in the air towards the exposed arm and cleaving down upon it;

A jet of fresh blood spurted out, another of the demon’s arms was severed by the Red Lotus Sword, and it tumbled down at Song Jian’s feet.

As the Red Lotus Sword slowly faded away, Song Jian finally felt a sense of relief, looking at the enormous arm–which was thicker and longer than his entire body–he suddenly pressed his hand onto it and absorbed the limb into the Shattered Divine Realm.

“No!” A furious roar erupted from beneath the palm imprint. The Sword Qi Palm Imprint only lasted a moment before gradually dissipating, with countless strands of Sword Qi bursting forth, starting from the skin of the back of the palm, and in no time at all, the multi-armed demon’s battered body was revealed.

The multi-armed demon, reduced to a single arm and with a look of bedraggled defeat, covered in blood, still managed to stand up tenaciously and let out a fearsome roar at Song Jian.

“You cannot defeat me, I am…” The demon was cut off mid-sentence as a seven-tiered Sword Qi Stone Tower pressed down towards its head from above.

At this moment, each level of the seven-tiered tower glowed brilliantly, revealing that inside each layer a mass of black mist kept changing shape, requiring over a hundred hours to subdue. Song Jian could afford to wait that long.

However, each level of the seven-tiered tower was already occupied, and even if the multi-armed demon was gravely injured, there was no way to imprison it, which made Song Jian feel somewhat concerned.

The demon still had more than half of its Vitality Points remaining. Given the power of the Sword Qi Stone Tower, it would not be enough to kill it in one strike. Under normal circumstances, he could suppress it within the tower, but now…

“Even if the Thousand Swords Art can’t kill it in one blow, it’s simply a heavily injured, near-death King-Level BOSS; I can totally wear it down to death here!” Song Jian gripped the Sky-breaking Sword tightly, thinking to himself.

It was only in this moment that Song Jian realized that the Thousand Swords Art seemed to be his only method of attacking powerful BOSSes. If the Thousand Swords Art lost its effectiveness, then he would indeed be short on attacking techniques.
