Chapter 436
Wang Hongyuan saw the sword strike and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Using such a low-level sword technique against him, how much did they underestimate him?
It seemed that after leaving the Shu Mountain Sword Sect for so many years, no one remembered his brilliance from back then.
To be fair, even Lin Bianyun was nothing in front of him!
Only that kid Lin Jinghong could give him a run for his money.
"Lin Bianyun, after all these years, you've become so arrogant that you dare to belittle me. This will be your path to self-destruction."
With that, the pitch-black long sword in his hand tore through space.
From the boundless dark space, a surge of demon energy emerged.
This was the demon energy from the Monster Realm!
Elder Lin's expression remained unchanged, unaffected by Wang Hongyuan's words, as he continued to execute his sword strike.
The Demon-Slaying Sword Technique!
In theory, this Demon-Slaying Sword Technique was indeed a very low-level sword technique, easy to learn and master.
Because of its simplicity, nearly all Shu Mountain disciples had learned it, but few took it seriously.
Admittedly, the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique did provide some bonuses in slaying demon tribes and beasts, but these bonuses were not particularly remarkable.
Many other stronger sword techniques could completely overshadow these bonuses.
Not only did ordinary people think this way, but even the Sect Master of Shu Mountain, Lin Jinghong, couldn't help but feel that the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique was somewhat superficial.
It didn't live up to its reputation!
Throughout the entire Shu Mountain, only one person understood the true essence of the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique.
That person was naturally Elder Lin.
The Sword Elder of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
The master of the Demon Locking Sword.
Apart from Elder Lin, no one knew that the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique was actually derived from the Demon Locking Sword.
Only when paired with the Demon Locking Sword did the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique become the true Demon-Slaying Sword Technique.
Thus, in a sense, only Elder Lin, the master of the Demon Locking Sword, could perform the true Demon-Slaying Sword Technique.
When the Demon Locking Sword executed the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique, a simple and unadorned slash, an unremarkable sword light burst forth from the Demon Locking Sword.
Within the sword light was the Demon-Slaying Sword Intent that Meng Fan was extremely familiar with.
Yet, amidst this familiarity, there was a hint of unfamiliarity.
If Meng Fan were here, relying on his talent for Sword Dao Transcendence, he might have gained some special insights.
Unfortunately, he wasn't here.
In fact, it was fortunate that he wasn't here, because if he were inside the Demon Locking Tower at this moment, he would die!
Even Elder Lin would find it difficult to save him.
After all, Wang Hongyuan's sword strike was opening the Sword Realm.
Sword techniques of the World of Swords level were extremely rare, and those who could perform such techniques were few and far between.
Even these rare individuals needed the aid of extraordinary treasures to have a hope of succeeding.
To perform it with one's own power was nearly impossible.
Not to mention, the Sect Master was the strongest person Elder Lin knew, but even in Elder Lin's understanding, the Sect Master would find it difficult to perform a sword technique of the World of Swords level with his own power.
Back to the point.
As Elder Lin's sword fell, Wang Hongyuan's body slowly dissipated in the next second.
Before dissipating, Wang Hongyuan's eyes were filled with disbelief.
He was well aware of his own strength and how weak the Demon-Slaying Sword Technique was.
Yet, this seemingly effortless sword technique left him defenseless, making him feel the imminent arrival of death, as if he would die in the next second.
In fact, he was right.
In just the next second, he perished, dissipated, and completely died.
Though he vanished, as he did, a voice echoed throughout the Demon Locking Tower.
"Lin Bianyun, truly, you are someone to be reckoned with after just three days. The Sword Elder of Shu Mountain, you are indeed the most mysterious and unpredictable existence, able to so easily slay me. But killing me is futile, it's too late!"
Too late.
Because the Monster Realm had already opened, and the passage to the Monster Realm would soon appear.
Elder Lin was strong, able to easily slay Wang Hongyuan, but he couldn't reverse time.
"Too late?" Elder Lin's gaze was cold, his eyes revealing an icy calmness.
"Heh, wishful thinking!"
This was Shu Mountain, the Demon Locking Tower.
The Demon Locking Tower was forged by a mighty being from the Immortal Realm who descended to the mortal world.
Wang Hongyuan could underestimate Elder Lin, but he couldn't underestimate the Demon Locking Tower.
"Demon Locking Tower, seal!"
Elder Lin wielded the Demon Locking Sword, the sword's blade emitting endless light, while at the same time, a brand-new formation blossomed within the Demon Locking Tower.
The formation operated, tightly sealing the passage Wang Hongyuan had created.
Under the constraint of the formation, the pitch-black opening began to gradually shrink.
Moments later, the pitch-black opening had completely closed, not even leaving a crack or a black dot, entirely sealed by the formation of the Demon Locking Tower.
Elder Lin flicked his wrist, and the Demon Locking Sword disappeared from his hand, returning to the top of the Demon Locking Tower.
Although the passage had been sealed, Elder Lin's expression did not improve much.
Because he knew that theoretically, this formation could seal the passage for at most a hundred years.
Perhaps not even a hundred years, as the power of the formation would weaken over time.
Additionally, with the erosion of demon energy from the other side, Elder Lin felt that being able to seal it for eighty years would be the limit.
In eighty years, the Demon Locking Tower would inevitably face an incident, making it truly difficult to handle at that time.
"However, eighty years is enough to change many things. Perhaps by then, I won't have to worry about it anymore.
Moreover, with so much time passing, the Sect Master will surely have returned by then.
This kind of matter should be left for the Sect Master to worry about."
Thinking of this, Elder Lin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter, and no longer as pressured as before.
To be fair, he had already done his best.
As for what would happen in eighty years, it could only be dealt with when the time came.
Who knows, maybe in eighty years, he would have become an immortal?
Though the probability was low!
Elder Lin comforted himself for a moment, then prepared to leave the Demon Locking Tower.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a new fluctuation in the space.
This fluctuation was generated as the Demon Locking Tower sealed the passage.
Elder Lin closed his eyes, fully extending his divine sense, and his Primordial Spirit silently left his body.
After a while, Elder Lin slowly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, and his face full of helplessness.
Although he had sealed the passage to the Monster Realm, the spatial pull and seal had connected to another hidden mystical realm of the demon tribe.
Fortunately, this hidden mystical realm was incomparable to the Monster Realm, just a very small world.
It was similar to the "Demon Realm" Meng Fan had visited before, the place where he met Xiao Qing.
Although there were many demon tribes in this small world, their cultivation levels were not strong, with the strongest leader being just a newly transformed minor Demon King.
At most, they could barely compare to human cultivators at the Primordial Spirit Realm!
