Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Crimson Flame Sword Soul

Having his disciples repeatedly get into trouble, the shame was already too much for him to bear.

At this moment, he was resolved; no matter how formidable the ancient demon was, he was going to rescue Liu Dazhuang. It was because of the guarantee he had given as a master that Liu had acted so recklessly.

"Chu Feng, it’s all because I was overly confident, regretting that I did not heed your advice!" Elder Shoumei was filled with immense regret and self-reproach.

Qin Keren, Chen Daoqi, and the others had all taken the Fire Rune Body Protecting Pills bestowed by Elder Shoumei.

"I’ll go help the Master!" Luo Mi, being the strongest among them, immediately took up his sword and charged at the sheep-headed ancient demon.

Qin Keren was not weak either, possessing the cultivation of a Middle Stage Great Sword Master. Nonetheless, she was a girl, and when faced with the terrifying ancient demon, she showed considerable timidity.

Even her sword-gripping hand was trembling.

"Master, my brothers and sisters have all been very kind to me; I cannot ignore them," Chu Feng was very clear that in front of the sheep-headed ancient demon, Liu Dazhuang was as vulnerable as a chick.

No resistance whatsoever.

Even if Elder Shoumei was extremely powerful, his capabilities were probably limited.

Indeed, as Chu Feng anticipated, even though Elder Shoumei charged in desperately, the sword light he slashed onto the demon’s body caused no disturbance, barely leaving a mark.

The ancient demon from the Dragon Han Period was excessively dominant.

For the time being, it was just holding onto Liu Dazhuang’s shoulders, facing the attacks of the crowd without resistance. In its two blood-red eyes, stars could be seen rotating.

One could vaguely see rings of Demonic Qi converging towards it.

"Could it be that it has only just awakened and its strength has not yet recovered?"

Chu Feng boldly speculated, considering a possibility.

"Ahh... it’s absorbing my essence blood and Sword Qi!" Liu Dazhuang, his face twisted in pain, screamed while desperately kicking and hitting the body of the sheep-headed ancient demon.

Regrettably, his resistance was pale and weak, utterly ineffective.

Seeing that the Master’s attacks were ineffective, Luo Mi quickly gripped his sword, his expression turning focused and solemn.

Swish swish swish!

All one could see was him wildly slashing with his sword, countless sword shadows overlapping one another, like a towering Sword Mountain bearing down.

"All Swords Return to One, Demon-Slaying Slash!"

With a surge of energy and a roar, Luo Mi merged the countless sword shadows into one, forming an immensely large and spectacular sword light, furiously slashing down towards the ancient demon’s demon arm.

Although silent and introverted, Luo Mi was level-headed, intelligent, and wise.

If slashing the demon’s body was ineffective, then aim for its demon arm.

Whoosh!

Nobody expected that the ancient demon would raise its other demon arm to block Luo Mi’s sword light.

Apparently, it too felt a threat.

Bang!

Suddenly, its demon hand extended like a ghost hand, stretching out to grab Luo Mi’s sword.

The sword light that slashed at its demon hand actually caused a wound.

It was simply inconceivable.

Knowing that even Elder Shoumei, a peak Sword Saint, had not been able to injure the ancient demon, but Luo Mi succeeded.

The Ten Thousand Sword Technique, the Sect Suppressing Sword Technique of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, was truly as famous as it was said to be.

Keep in mind that Luo Mi’s cultivation was an entire Great Realm below that of Elder Shoumei.

"Luo Mi, quickly retract your sword and let go!" Elder Shoumei shouted anxiously.

Unfortunately, Luo Mi did not possess such advanced combat consciousness and experience. For a swordsman, the sword is as important as life itself; with the sword, one lives; without it, one perishes.

He was unwilling to let go, instead, channeling his Sword Qi furiously in an attempt to forcibly pull the sword from the ancient demon’s grasp.

"Meh~!"

The Ancient Demon let out a terrifying shriek, then with a fierce shake, it snapped Luo Mi’s treasure sword and immediately lunged to grab his shoulder.

Luo Mi couldn’t react in time and was clutched by the demonic claw, his fate no different from that of Liu Dazhuang.

"You abominable fiend, you must die!"

Elder Shoumei suddenly threw a blood-red elixir, the size of a baby’s fist, into his mouth. He chewed it forcefully and swallowed it down.

This elixir was the Soul Burning Elixir, which burned essence blood and the Divine Soul, significantly enhancing strength in an instant.

Its side effects were tremendous; if one couldn’t stop in time, it could directly incinerate a person’s Divine Soul and deplete their essence, leading to a point of no return where not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could save them.

Even if stopped in time, the damage to oneself would still be tremendous.

Moreover, the damage was irreversible, with the injuries impossible to heal forever.

Elder Shoumei was truly staking his life to annihilate the Ancient Demon and save his two disciples.

"Crimson Flame Technique, Ninth level!"

"Fiery Flames Burning Sky, Sword Emperor Dominates the World, Crimson Flame Sword Soul manifestation!"

As the oldest elder of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Elder Shoumei’s abilities were definitely not to be underestimated. In an act of desperation and after taking the Soul Burning Elixir, he actually forced the manifestation of a Sword Soul.

But manifesting a Sword Soul was truly too difficult.

Even with the understanding of the ninth level of Sword technique and being at the peak of the Sword Saint Realm, it was still very hard to achieve. Therefore, Elder Shoumei had no choice but to consume a Soul Burning Elixir to forcibly manifest the Sword Soul.

It’s worth mentioning that while manifesting a Sword Soul was inherently difficult, the quality and level of the Sword technique one comprehended also played a significant role.

The higher-grade and more powerful the Sword technique, the less difficult it is to manifest a Sword Soul.

Elder Shoumei was very talented in Alchemy, but he was rather slow in comprehending Sword techniques.

Although he was honored as an Elder, he had not been able to grasp the Sect Suppressing Sword Technique, Ten Thousand Sword Technique of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. He had to settle for the lower-tiered Crimson Flames Sword Technique.

One could see a crimson sword soul phantom, flaming like fire, appearing above Elder Shoumei’s head.

Tremendous and terrifying pressure emanated from the sword soul phantom, causing palpitations.

The surrounding air heated up instantly, scattering much of the Demonic Qi.

"Slash!"

Elder Shoumei wielded his sword and slashed forward, and the sword soul above his head did likewise.

It was truly miraculous.

Boom boom!

The incredible sword light, carrying crimson flames, struck with divine might, its momentum shockingly immense. This one slash was at least three to five times more powerful than Elder Shoumei’s before he had manifested the Sword Soul.

The effect of the Sword Soul was astonishing.

"I’ve heard that a powerful Sword Soul can even control sword light autonomously and even unleash sword skills endowed with divine power."

"In the future, I shall also manifest a Sword Soul."

What he had comprehended was the Supreme Level Heaven and Earth Sword Skill; the Sword Soul he would manifest must be extraordinary.

Chu Feng watched his master display divine power and manifest the Crimson Flame Sword Soul; his master’s aura already overpowering the Ancient Demon. Chu Feng’s heart was filled with shock, as well as envy and admiration. In his past life, Chu Feng had also seen some Sword Dao Great Powers confronting enemies with their Sword Souls.

Every time, the scene was incredibly shocking, leaving a deep impression.

Regrettably, in Chu Feng’s previous life, he had not been able to manifest a Sword Soul before his death, not even reaching the Sword Saint Realm.

His cultivation was indeed incredibly low.

The fact he had lived for so long was all thanks to his own elixirs. For instance, Life Extending Pills, Turtle Pills, Crane Elixirs, and so forth.

Every kind of life-extending, life-supplementing elixir was incomparably precious.

The Immortal Pill that Chu Feng refined just before his death was even more coveted by countless powerhouses. Everyone desired eternal life, whether they were ordinary people or emperors and Sword Dao experts.
