Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 571 - 493: Taken Down!_2

Amidst the infinite residual power sweeping across heaven and earth.

Qi Xiu and Zhao Qianqiu together raised a Five-Colored Divine Light, brushing away the terrifying shockwaves coming their way.

"What is the origin of this woman, to possess such combat strength? Below Primordial Spirit True Honor, I'm afraid few can rival her."

With a gaze of amazement fixed on the sword-holding woman opposite, Zhao Qianqiu's Great Five Elements Annihilation Heavenly Wheel in his hand hummed and buzzed, burning red hot, evidently operating beyond its limits.

"I don't know, this woman is very mysterious, able to preside over this sword capture, she must be someone of high status in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains." Shaking his head, Qi Xiu's eyes were deep; compared to Zhao Qianqiu, he was more eager to know who this woman was.

"Hundred Thousand Great Mountains... using a sword... could it be..."

Zhao Qianqiu's pupils contracted, as if he had thought of something, he hesitated to speak.

"What is it?"

Earlobes twitching slightly, Qi Xiu asked.

"Nothing... and even if there is something, why should I tell you?" Giving Qi Xiu a look, Zhao Qianqiu's arrogant attitude resurfaced, letting out a light snort, he spoke no more.

With a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth, suppressing the urge to obliterate Zhao Qianqiu's soul, Qi Xiu took a deep breath:

"Looks like, without using some real skills, we won't be able to take down this woman."

With a large step, Qi Xiu transformed into a multicolored flying sword, soaring into the air.

Five flying swords shone brilliantly, each containing the utmost concentrated divine might of the Great Five Elements Path, the longsword crossed the sky, imposing as a rainbow, commanding all beneath heaven.

The entire sky was dyed with resplendent five-colored radiance at this moment.

In an instant, the five flying swords plummeted like meteors to the ground with overwhelming force.

Immediately following, countless manifestations of the Great Dao appeared, the heavens and earth seemed filled with countless mysterious glimmers, an ancient and majestic Sword Array swiftly took shape.

Within the array, stars shifted, rivers reversed, Qiankun inverted, everything appeared enigmatic and unfathomable.

The Sword Array was completed in a moment, enveloping all surrounding power within it.

Vast and fierce sword qi crisscrossed, sketching out countless complex trajectories in the heavens and earth.

[Innate Five Elements Ten Thousand Laws Sword Formation]

The five flying swords fell, pinning down a certain invisible key node!

The next instant!

The expression of the sword-holding woman subtly changed, as faint apparitions of flying swords appeared on her limbs and head, firmly pinning her in place.

"Lord Wei!"

Qi Xiu's voice resonated throughout the sky.

Lord Wei, who had long been lying in wait, perceived this excellent opportunity even before Qi Xiu spoke.

Bang!

The Void Yu Bi shattered underfoot, Lord Wei emerged expressionless, his hand like a blade, extreme dao power surged to its limit, and for a moment, a vast and ancient land manifested behind him, endless power surged into him.

Slash!

Boom!

Like nine heavens exploding with thunder, Lord Wei slashed downward, his palm-edge glowing with an ancient force capable of casting all into eternal disaster.

This slash brought with it the myriad phenomena, shattering the sky dome, ripping the earth, and cleaving through the river of time and space.

Splurt—

A mouthful of pure crystalline purple blood spewed forth.

For the first time, the sword-holding woman felt bone-chilling cold.

Yet there was not a trace of panic on her face.

"To have forced me to such a state, you indeed are strong."

Calmly gazing at the sky-breaking force of Lord Wei's charge, she praised the strength of Qi Xiu and his companions, as a bright red Sword Seal suddenly lit up on her brow.

"Thought I wouldn't need to use this sword bestowed by the master, but it seems I underestimated you."

Before her words finished, the Sword Seal on her brow burst into infinite brilliance.

Boom!

A sword engulfed with vast Dao oppressive might, crimson like blood, accompanied by the omen of all things perishing, a terrifying slaughter sword with the vision of immortals and buddhas as corpses ascended, its aura instantly turned the entire sky dome of the Southern Ming Wasteland into an ominous deep crimson.

Murmurs of destiny watched over eras, a pair of eternal eyes opened, overlooking the All Heavens cosmos, coldly observing Qi Xiu and his companions.

Phew—

In a daze, Qi Xiu saw an indescribable towering figure.

Standing in the center of heaven and earth, infinite power of the Great Dao flowed around him, his might transcending past and future, impossibly formidable.

"Not good!"

The red-robed youth, who had been watching the show from behind, turned pale, flashing to Qi Xiu's side, the King Wen Drum in his hand shook rapidly, ancient towering figures quickly emerged, shielding them at the center.

The next second!

Bang!

The world overturned, the sky dome warped and pressed down, that crimson killing sword enveloped in infinite violence charged forth, aiming to obliterate everything of Qi Xiu in an instant, consigning him to a place of irrevocable doom.

Qi Xiu felt as if a piece of the heavens descended, akin to encountering a great calamity, his whole body dimmed and lost its luster, the thinly swirling primordial Qi seemed on the verge of complete dissipation.

"This sword..."

A slight shock crossed his face, the sword unleashed by the maiden holding the sword felt intensely familiar to Qi Xiu.

Isn't this the sword intent that almost took his life back in the Valley of Deceased Gods?

No, compared to that time.

This time, the sword intent is more solid and pure; this woman must surely be that figure's confidant!

Since it is so, then Qi today shall definitely capture you.

Always valuing a sense of security, Qi Xiu found this unclear and lurking unease like a bone stuck in his throat.

Thus he was determined to stay, just to understand these targeted actions against him that began without notice.

In a flick of a finger!

Qi Xiu's aura shifted drastically, golden light erupted from his starry eyes, terrifying countless times over, giving the maiden holding the sword opposite him a sudden sense of being solidified by an ancient presence, her brow furrowed, heart madly ringing alarm bells.

"Dragon Binding Rope!"

With a loud shout, billions of zhang of golden light accompanied by a domineering dragon roar piercing the heavens burst forth, his eyes turned a shade of pure gold, between Qi Xiu's five fingers, golden light swirling:

"Command!"

"Primordial Limitless!"

Once again utilizing the power of the [Command Talisman], he adjusted his innate primordial Qi to an infinite limitless state.

Around Qi Xiu, the rainbow-dyed flames surged, substantial enough to shake the entire continent, the Dao Yuan flooding into the Dragon Binding Rope like a dam burst.

This Dragon Prison Supreme Treasure, after receiving such a vast influx of power, began to gradually awaken its dormant terrifying divine marvel!

Golden light illuminated the heavens, tearing through all heavens.

A colossal dragon shadow covering all of the Southern Ming Wasteland prominently emerged!

"Is that... a True Dragon!?"

Stunned, all present, including the maiden holding the sword, had flashes of astonishment in their eyes.

Seeming to perceive the threat of the Dragon Binding Rope, that crimson killing sword suspended upon the jade sky slashed down dramatically!

The heavens exploded!

An extreme, tyrannical killing tribulation descended, unstoppable as a spear, instantly piercing through numerous mighty figures' protection, along with the Five-Colored Divine Canopy, Haotian Mirror, all defensive measures rendered ineffective.

Clang—

Scarlet blood trickled down Qi Xiu's brow, dyeing half of his handsome and tranquil face red.

A simple, unadorned rope stained with ancient blood stubbornly ensnared the falling crimson longsword.

It halted an inch away from Qi Xiu's head, the sharp edge still tearing his skin.

"Capture it!"

Blood dripped into his eyes, Qi Xiu shouted loudly!

Boom—

The moment he commanded, the Dragon Binding Rope fully awakened!

The terrifying might shattered the sky dome, releasing extremely ancient forces, and everything in the Southern Ming Wasteland felt a deeply irresistible urge to submit upon sensing the aura.

Unable to resist falling to their knees, begging for release.

The dragon's tail flicked, wrapping around the crimson killing sword, as the Dragon Binding Rope charged fiercely toward the maiden holding the sword.

The heaven trembled, Blood Sea evaporated!

The domineering and fierce Dragon Binding Rope pressed down relentlessly, the maiden holding the sword scarcely had the chance to raise her hand, then was bound tightly, her invincible prowess under the Primordial Spirit Realm dissipated in a flash.

She became a captive.

"I lost..."

Gazing at the Dragon Binding Rope upon her, the maiden holding the sword softly murmured, a trace of surprise, a touch of unwillingness, and a bit of self-mockery within.

The next second.

A figure flashed before her, the handsome face dyed red with blood, exuding a cold and indifferent air.

"Now, I think we can have a proper conversation."

...
