Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 676 - 564: Just You Guys?! (Part 2)

"Are you angry?"

Standing with hands behind his back on the chain, facing the overwhelming pressure from eighty Thunder Magic True Monarchs, Su Buqing's expression did not waver in the slightest. He chuckled softly, spreading his arms:

"In that case, let's recreate the epic battle of the Middle Ancient Era today. Let us test if you juniors can match your ancestors."

The chilling aura of the Nether swept tumultuously, and one could see figures with cold expressions and amber eyes, as if emerging from Hell, slowly appearing on the black-red chains.

"Brothers, it's been a long time."

Looking at the gradually appearing figures, Su Buqing raised his hand with a smile and greeted softly.

"The resurrection of the divine artifact? Buqing, was it you?"

Standing beside Su Buqing, a woman with red cloth tied over her eyes, silver ornaments on her head, and clad in the Hundred Flowers Red Robe, turned her head slowly to look at Su Buqing, her voice like the soft chant of a myriad of actors.

"I don't have that capability. It's just that the Shenxiao Sect has suffered catastrophe, inadvertently triggering the divine artifact, causing its resurrection, truly a boon for our Hell Dao." Su Buqing replied with a smile.

"What is the current hour?"

Another man, towering in stature, with ancient, obscure gold patterns painted on his dark skin, spoke, his face masked.

"Two eras have passed since the Middle Ancient Era; now it's the Dao Alliance Era."

"Dao Alliance Era? Hah, didn't expect to sleep for so long."

As these figures emerged from the void, each awakening, the hellish aura surged exponentially, frighteningly reappearing those evil spirits and ghosts once slain by thunder.

"The Seventy-Two Prison Pillars of Hell Dao?"

Seeing the emerging figures, Daoist Yunxiong squinted his eyes.

When Hell Dao was annihilated, seventy-two True Monarchs of Dao Body managed the Eighteen Layers of Hell, known as the Seventy-Two Prison Pillars.

During their fierce battle with Shenxiao Sect, all seventy-two were slain by the Nine Heavens Shenxiao Imperial Thunder Command.

"So what? Attack!"

With a cold snort, Daoist Priest Yunqing clapped his palms together, and the Daoist Spirit [Yunqing Fushou Heavenly Monarch] suddenly opened his forehead's vertical pupil, as tens of thousands of Subduing Demon Thunder Ropes shot forth, instantly rolling up a group of evil spirits and ghosts.

This is the reaction speed of a top True Monarch of the sect.

Since these evil spirits and ghosts cannot be completely eradicated by heavenly thunder, the plan is to turn the destruction into sealing, imprison them all, and see how they resurrect!

Meanwhile, Su Buqing and these True Monarchs of Hell Dao noticed the intentions of the Shenxiao Sect elders, snorting coldly and fiercely clashing with them in battle. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Over a hundred True Monarchs of Dao Body clashing at full strength, the scene was so grand it was even more ferocious than the previous epic battle between the Human Race and demons in the Southern Ming Wasteland.

For that battle, although the number of True Monarchs of Dao Body was greater, they were far inferior to the strength of Shenxiao Sect elders and Hell Dao True Monarchs.

Thunder Magic True Monarchs!

Soul Path True Monarchs!

Every one of them is a standout among their peers.

This bout was fought so fiercely that heaven and earth turned dark, the sun and moon were faint, had it not been for the early activation of the Sect Protection Array, the entire Shenxiao Sect Gate would have become a ruin.

"You juniors amount to nothing. We are of the undying bodies; defeat means nothing, but can you resurrect once you're dead?"

Encompassing the overwhelming power of Hell, manifesting countless terrifying apparitions, a True Monarch of Hell Dao fiercely struck at Daoist Yunxiong, vowing to slay him.

"Do you have that skill?"

With a raise of his hand, Daoist Yunxiong executed the Tian Gang Five Thunder Palm, the thunderous power displaying five ancient Thunder Seals, subsequently forming a colossal hand, shattering endless mountains and rivers, instantly striking the True Monarch of Hell Dao before him, and as he was about to pursue, countless evil spirits and ghosts surged forth again.

"Troublesome!"

Hindered by these evil spirits and ghosts, irritability flared in Daoist Yunxiong's eyes.

Though the evil spirits and ghosts are average in strength, they keep resurrecting, making them hard to completely eradicate, always emerging to disrupt at critical moments, leaving the defense helpless.

This resulted in the Shenxiao Sect elders, despite having numerical advantage, unable to gain the upper hand.

Firstly, because Hell Dao True Monarchs are almost all top True Monarchs, otherwise they wouldn't have been pillars in Hell Dao during the Middle Ancient Era.

Secondly, due to the entanglement of these evil spirits and ghosts.

And as the Hell Dao True Monarch mentioned, they are already deceased, relying on the power of Hell can resurrect even if they die, thus they fight only offensively, seeking to trade injuries, risking their lives against the Shenxiao Sect elders.

With the Shenxiao Sect elders being cautious, naturally they fell into disadvantage.

The red light in his eyes blazed, and Su Buqing waved his large sleeve. Chains, laced with the fierce poison of hell, suddenly pounced from behind towards Daoist Priest Yunqing, who was engaged in an intense battle with another Hell Path True Monarch.

"Your Shenxiao Sect will suffer the consequences today!"

"Suffer the consequences? Just with you lot?"

The seemingly light and nonchalant voice was utterly calm, yet it overshadowed the deafening sound of the battle.

The soul-enticing chain, poised to strike Daoist Priest Yunqing, was casually shattered into dust and dispersed by a long, fair hand.

A young Daoist with a delicate face appeared abruptly, and the entire universe seemed to be under his feet, subdued by the subtle might emanating from his presence.

Looking at this suddenly appearing young Daoist who effortlessly broke his offensive, Su Buqing slightly frowned, feeling an intense familiarity.

"Hiss! It's you!"

With his memory rolling through his mind, Su Buqing's face abruptly changed.

Isn't he the little Daoist who was taken by the old Daoist into the Hell Forest to take the Dual Heart Realm back then?

In such a short time, he has become a True Monarch of the Dao Body?!

Clearly remembering that Qi Xiu only had a Blood-stained Triple Realm cultivation when he entered the Hell Forest years ago, now, in less than a hundred years, he has become a Dao Expert with unfathomable power, whose casual gestures even he couldn't fathom.

Moreover, this kid has comprehended the Taiyin Technique...

As his gaze slowly scanned the chaotic battlefield before him, Qi Xiu flipped his palm, and a compass appeared, shimmering with five-colored radiance, with ancient and obscure energy that concealed countless Dao patterns.

Great Luo Five Elements Gold Disk!

Withdrawing this Acquired Divine Instrument, Qi Xiu raised his hand and tossed it upward, where it instantly transformed into a divine light shooting into the sky.

Great Luo Five Elements Formation!

Activate!

With a light step on the void beneath his feet, in an instant, a vast dharma formation seeming to encompass the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths unfolded beneath Qi Xiu's feet.

In just a moment, the entire Shenxiao Sect Gate was enveloped within the Great Luo Five Elements Formation.

This is the dominance of an Acquired Divine Instrument!

"This is bad! It's the Small World Technique!"

Realizing the connection with the Hell Forest suddenly becoming intermittent, the expressions of the seventy-two Hell Path True Monarchs changed simultaneously.

Though the Great Luo Five Elements Formation could not completely isolate their connection with the Hell Forest,

it could sever the resurrection pathway for other evil spirits and ghosts.

In other words, within this suddenly unfolded Heaven and Earth Formation, once their subordinate evil spirits and ghosts perished, they could not resurrect again.

"This kid has grown to such an extent!"

Seeing Qi Xiu's appearance instantly tipping the scales of victory, Su Buqing's expression turned extremely gloomy, deeply regretting not killing this Daoist at the time.

Yet, what further intensified Su Buqing's regret was yet to come.

After unfolding the Great Luo Five Elements Formation, Qi Xiu slowly raised his right hand, drawing a mysterious trajectory in the air with his fingers, where a spell slowly rose at his fingertips.

As he moved, an invisible force spread from his fingertips.

It seemed to touch the laws of the entire Great Luo Five Elements Formation.

In an instant, the formation underfoot began to undergo Earth-shaking changes.

The power of the Five Elements, like ancient gods in slumber, opened their eyes to awaken.

The sharpness of gold, the vitality of green wood, the gentle waves of blue water, the blaze of red fire, the heaviness of yellow earth, these five forces intertwined, forming a destructive power capable of annihilating Heaven and Earth.

This destructive power converged in the air, evolving into terrifying attacks that shattered space, exterminating everything.

Every move and every strike contained enough power to tear the heavens and the earth, where the killing blows passed, space was torn apart, time was distorted, even light was swallowed, leaving only endless darkness and destruction.

In the blink of an eye, this entire world was forcefully turned into chaos.

Hit directly by a Five Elements killing move, half of Su Buqing's body turned into dust, a look of shock and awe erupting on his face, he spoke in a low shout:

"Divine Artifact?!"

...
