Chapter 643 - 429: Great Demon Battle: Master Baitian! (Double-Length) (Part 2)
At that moment, the Kang Jin Rat King was barely clinging to life, while Master Baitian had been in hidden recovery for over a decade, and his old wounds had nearly healed.
The fact that he could withstand a punch from Song Changming and still be vigorous proved that Master Baitian’s demon body was far stronger than the Kang Jin Rat King back then.
After all, Song Changming now normally boasted thirty-one strands of Dragon Power, far surpassing the past.
Plus, with the power of the Witch Soldier Seal activated, his punch was no longer a mere ten million pounds.
It unleashed a full twenty million pounds of force!
Only a Great Demon like Master Baitian could withstand such a punch!
On the other side, the pale skin on Master Baitian’s body began to wriggle again, splitting into countless tendrils that wrapped toward Song Changming.
In the air, Song Changming stepped on the clouds below him, flipping his body gracefully with the Spirit Saber, evading the tendrils while the crimson clouds rolled from the blade, slashing toward Master Baitian from a different angle.
This strike, with crimson clouds ablaze and thunder clapping, was like the apocalypse descending.
The strength of the Sword Intent far surpassed any blade Song Changming had wielded in the past!
The Crimson Cloud Saber technique created by Emperor Yun had already been refined to perfection by him and was the most powerful saber technique he mastered in his Martial Techniques!
With one slash, everything in the path of the crimson cloud was obliterated!
The tendrils that approached first dissolved in the rolling crimson cloud, forcing Master Baitian to stay focused and vigilant.
His twin forms suddenly brought their four hands together in a synchronous clap.
"Heaven!"
The voice from the two mouths overlapped, and in the next moment, the six insect eyes emitted even more dazzling pupil light.
Undoubtedly, these six eyes were the embodiment of Master Baitian’s Demon Power, with many of his abilities hidden within these six pupils.
The crimson cloud descended, and the lake, calm as a mirror, started boiling in an instant.
At the same time, because of Master Baitian’s six eyes, a great white light surged across the heavens and earth.
Everywhere people looked, all was pale whiteness.
With a massive boom, the earth shook and mountains quaked, the savage saber light shattered, and Song Changming leaped back, only stopping once Master Baitian closed his six eyes again.
Song Changming glanced at his own clothes, riddled with holes.
Exposed on his body, the painted turtle scale patterns extended from his chest, covering his entire body, shielding him from the recent pupil technique of Master Baitian without injury!
In contrast, while Master Baitian wasn’t killed by that slash, half of his upper body had rotted away under the Sword Might of crimson Cloud Saber, resembling a pool of muck, with blood gushing to the ground.
"A very powerful saber technique, but sadly, without entering the Grandmaster Realm, you’ll never be able to kill me!" On Master Baitian’s festering face, a sinister smile appeared.
"..." Song Changming remained silent.
The other was not wrong, no matter how powerful a Swordsmanship, it requires Cultivation Realm to support it.
Without entering the Grandmaster Realm and condensing Purple Mansion Essence Blood, no matter how profound his Sword Tao attainment is, it’s difficult to unleash sufficiently deadly power.
Relying solely on Innate Realm-level Sword Qi, indeed cannot kill a Great Demon like Master Baitian.
In fact, the fact that Master Baitian voluntarily acknowledged the power of the saber technique he just used proved that his current Sword Tao attainment was enough to stand on its own, even making Great Demons wary!
Song Changming glanced at the long knife in his hand.
Besides lacking the support of Grandmaster Realm’s Qi Refining Cultivation, the Spirit Saber in his hands somewhat affected the performance of his saber technique.
The Spirit Saber’s attribute is the Cold, while his Crimson Cloud Saber technique is as fiery as fire, not to mention having no amplification, there was even some minor restraint.
If not for the difficulty in finding a suitable Spirit Saber, he wouldn’t have wanted to make do with this Cold Saber until now.
Sometimes, he even considered researching Artifact Creation and Refining to eventually forge the most handy Divine Weapon for himself.
But this is just a thought, at present, he prioritizes cultivation, and has even reduced his exploration of the Talisman Tao, let alone pursue various other ideas.
On the other side, Master Baitian’s intact half-body suddenly raised a hand to swipe aside, pushing his rotted half-body away.
His body started wriggling again, and within a few breaths, two more upper bodies emerged.
Thus becoming three upper bodies, three heads.
Truly a three-headed six-armed posture!
Under such circumstances, the six eyes on Sword Momentum appeared harmonious, with each face having two normal eyes.
This was also Master Baitian’s final combat form!
"To force me into this state, below the Grandmaster, I acknowledge you as the strongest!"
Master Baitian’s six hands came together, looking at Song Changming, spoke calmly.
The life force in his body was immensely robust, his aura reaching its peak, and the Demon Power condensed into a tangible white shell body, enveloping his three-headed six-armed form.
As he finished speaking, Master Baitian moved in sync, the sonic boom from his flight speed was intense, with energy swirling around, like mountains calling and seas roaring.
Indeed, Master Baitian’s demon body was far stronger than before, his sprint speed nearly doubled, showing a stark contrast from the insect demon’s usual non-swiftness.
Song Changming, invigorated, remained calm, stepping on two Witch Soldier Seals, proving he was the faster one!
Previously, he came with the mindset of probing, not genuinely confident of killing Master Baitian today and completing his revenge.
His original plan was to wait until he broke through to Grandmaster Realm before making the final reckoning.
But after today’s clash, he realized that the Great Demon occupying the Thirty Six Grotto Heaven Treasure Lands of the South Border was not invincible!
At this moment, Song Changming harbored murderous intent.
If he could avenge today, he wouldn’t delay it for even one day!
The two engaged in air combat once again.
Song Changming occasionally wielded rolling crimson clouds and at times thunderous power, while Master Baitian displayed endless sinister pupil techniques, poison techniques, and relied on immense Demon Power.
The three-headed six-armed form granted Master Baitian formidable melee combat abilities without any blind spots.
Their skirmish was no less significant than a clash between a Grandmaster powerhouse and a Great Demon.
Their battle turned day to night, evaporated lakes, and destroyed forests and vegetation completely!
Even causing the spiritual qi here to dissipate, bringing the treasure land to a state of decline!
At this moment, Master Baitian couldn’t care about the state of his Baitian Temple.
In this skirmish, he realized that a single misstep could render him a ghost under Song Changming’s blade!
He couldn’t understand how the medicinal guide that he used to knead at will back then could have grown so powerful now.
He also couldn’t understand why, clearly not even a Grandmaster, he could pose this significant a threat!
And now, as troublesome as it was, if this child became a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the future, the threat to him would be even greater!
"No matter what, today, I must capture him for alchemy!"
Master Baitian made his decision, even at the risk of exacerbating his injuries, he wouldn’t hesitate!
Master Baitian’s three half-bodies clapped their hands together again simultaneously.
Their stomachs bulged, and they suddenly spewed countless tiny sticky insects from their mouths.
The insects floated in the air, charging in dense swarms under Master Baitian’s command.
Song Changming slashed, destroying only a portion of the sticky insects, while the remaining ones swarmed toward him from all directions.
Seeing this, Song Changming made a decisive move, swiping his left hand across the Heaven and Earth Ring on his fingers.
In the next moment, dozens of Spirit Swords emerged, connecting sword intents, forming a Sword Array around him.
Compared to the Sword Array prototype under the initial Spiritual Light, the Sword Array that Song Changming operated now was quite mature and refined.
Countless sword lights glowed, weaving into an impenetrable barrier-like space.
Song Changming stood in the Sword Array, watching as countless sticky insects charged but were shredded by the Sword Array.
Then, dozens of Spirit Swords shot out, counterattacking Master Baitian.
Master Baitian’s six eyes burst forth with light again, continuously knocking back the approaching Spirit Swords.
Simultaneously, Song Changming arrived in an instant, flipping in the air and delivering a powerful cleave, followed by the Spirit Swords thrusting along with his Sword Momentum.
Master Baitian gathered his Demon Power, transforming into a giant maw, intending to devour Song Changming as he came close.
