Chapter 660: Chapter 657: Start of Sacrificial Training

"So you’re saying, when you said you wanted to use Hellfire to burn us to ashes, you were lying, and your real purpose was to obtain the released Demon Blade," Lin Tian finally understood after hearing Guizhong Yilang say so much.

"No, no, no, it’s true I wanted the released Demon Blade, but it’s also true I intended to burn you with Hellfire," Guizhong Yilang repeatedly said as he corrected Lin Tian’s understanding.

"You don’t understand, let me tell you. Cunzheng has developed a consciousness and can control people. I want to use Hellfire to burn away its consciousness, leaving behind pure power, so that I can better wield the Demon Blade. This is the only correct way to use the Demon Blade."

"Otherwise, anyone who tries to use the Demon Blade will be controlled by it, and those controlled by it will not meet good ends. As for you, you should feel honored. I will burn you with Hellfire, leaving behind the purest energy, which the reborn Demon Blade will absorb. Surely, this will allow it to return to its peak more quickly," Guizhong Yilang concluded.

"Bullshit!" Having heard so much, the Demon Blade could no longer hold back and roared in anger, "Little one, don’t say it’s you, even if Guizhong Mingsi was reborn, he wouldn’t dream of destroying me. I was born by the will of heaven, no one can stop me, kill, kill, kill..."

With each shout of "kill," the killing aura of the Demon Blade grew stronger. By the end, black aura enveloped the blade. Wrapped around the blade, the black aura seemed to contain wailing souls.

The killing aura of the Demon Blade was unprecedentedly intense; having heard its own life story, its evil qi was fully stimulated. The Demon Blade was on the brink of madness.

"Hahaha..." Guizhong Yilang suddenly burst into laughter, loudly saying, "Good, just like that, unleash all your killing intent, let it explode!"

Dammit, Guizhong Yilang said all that just to provoke the Demon Blade. Lin Tian now understood that the Demon Blade had fallen into Guizhong Yilang’s trap. Guizhong Yilang was indeed hoping for the Demon Blade to become stronger.

"Stop, blade! Calm down, you’ve fallen into Guizhong’s scheme..." Lin Tian shouted loudly.

"Shut up, I will kill him, kill all the Onmyoji, kill, kill, kill..." Cunzheng couldn’t hear Lin Tian, completely immersed in its murderous thoughts, the Demon Blade was about to go insane.

"Thousand Illusion Thousand Layers Kill!"

With a voice full of killing intent, Cunzheng, amidst the black aura of the Demon Blade, reflected a blood-red light. He struck the Barrier with his blade, then withdrew and struck again, beginning a series of increasingly rapid slashes until only a blur of blade shadows was visible.

This fierce wave of attacks all landed on the Barrier. Initially, the Barrier only rippled like water, but as the Thousand Layers Kill assault continued, black aura began to condense on the Barrier, growing more and more until it formed into a massive fist, which then punched down towards Cunzheng.

Since Cunzheng and Lin Tian were one, striking Cunzheng was like striking Lin Tian, and this strike was far more powerful than a giant bear’s.

"Stop, you idiot, dodge!" Lin Tian yelled out loud, fearing that Ning Luoxi and the others would come, he added another line, "Luoxi, don’t come over here."

But the Demon Blade didn’t listen to him and continued its frenzied attack on the Barrier, "Boom, boom, boom..." The massive fist hit Lin Tian directly, smashing him to the ground.

"Damn you, blade, I curse your instant noodles to come without a seasoning pack!" Lin Tian lay on the ground, gasping for air as he spoke.

"What is instant noodles?" Cunzheng’s puzzled voice sounded, then said: "Eh, weren’t you supposed to be under my control? How did you end up on the ground by yourself?"

As he spoke, he controlled Lin Tian’s body and stood up nonchalantly, even going as far as to pat the dust off his clothes.

"You really don’t remember what just happened?" Lin Tian asked, sensing from his tone that he wasn’t pretending.

"What happened just now? Oh, right, I was seriously pissed off by this junior. In a rage, as you humans say, I went blank, and then I just collapsed to the ground," said the Demon Blade innocently.

Lin Tian was infuriated and roared, "Damn it, you furiously attacked the barrier, triggering its retaliation and getting me punched to the ground. You’re hundreds of years old—no, you’re not even human, you’re hundreds of years old as a blade. Can’t you handle situations more calmly?"

"Calm my ass! Could you stay calm if you saw your archenemy standing right in front of you?" the Demon Blade retorted.

Archenemy? I’m a zombie. My archenemy should be the Demon Exorcist, but aren’t I cooperating nicely with the Demon Exterminating Master now? Lin Tian thought nonchalantly.

The Earth is round; nothing is definite, everything is possible. Who knows, maybe someday, this zombie will end up seducing that Demon Exterminating Master, Lin Tian thought arrogantly.

"Nine Nether Netherworld God, grant me the Hellfire to incinerate evil..." Guizhong Yilang knelt with both knees, raising the wooden staff, suddenly chanting a prayer.

"...Hellfire, arise!" Guizhong Yilang chanted swiftly, finishing the spell with a snap of his lips. As he finished the word "arise," a dark red fire flared up on the semi-transparent barrier.

The flames clung to the barrier, twirling and burning, with wisps of black smoke rising from them. The smoke rose a few inches high before being pulled back into the flames, repeating this cycle endlessly, like souls tormented and purified in the flames for all eternity!

"It’s lighting up!" Cunzheng exclaimed.

"I can see that, no need to tell me," Lin Tian replied irritably, then turned to the Heavenly Master Girl, "Beautiful Sky Master, you’re a Demon Exorcist, and you share the same origins as the Onmyoji from a thousand years ago. Don’t you have a way to break the barrier? Otherwise, we might really end up being roasted."

After pondering for a moment, the Heavenly Master Girl said, "There is a way. If I use my Heavenly Master’s Magic Artifact, I can definitely shatter this barrier."

"Then hurry up! What are you waiting for?" Cunzheng urged.

Though he spoke bravely, he knew the gravity of their situation. He had the rotten luck of encountering a descendant of the Guizhong Clan, his bane. The spells were developed by the ancestors of the Guizhong Clan specifically to counter the Demon Blade with the purpose of subduing it.

Though the actual Demon Blade was unharmed by the fire, the consciousness that had just formed was about to be destroyed. Cunzheng couldn’t accept this.

Lin Tian hadn’t thought that far. The Hellfire posed a mortal threat to the Demon Blade, but he didn’t care much about it. The Purple Flame that had burned so fiercely from the golden sword had been withstandable by him; Hellfire was hardly a concern.

What he cared more about was the barrier. Whether he could break it in his transformed state was one thing; the real issue was that he was still controlled by the Demon Blade, which stubbornly refused to relinquish control.

But if the Heavenly Master Girl had a way to break the barrier, that would be best. It would prevent exposing his zombie identity, and he also knew what the Heavenly Master Girl’s Magic Artifact was—it was the formidable White Tiger Seal.
