Chapter 803 - 425: Former Foes_2
In just a brief moment, the two Sword Masters joined forces and exchanged thousands of blows with Bu Mie Demon Lord. Yet, they reached a stalemate and couldn’t determine a winner.
Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng glanced at each other, working in perfect harmony, they unleashed their ultimate skill - Combined Swordsmanship!
Instantly, the two Sword Domains merged into one, transforming into a dazzling Sword Aura that slashed towards Bu Mie Demon Lord with staggering speed and power, seemingly tearing the very fabric of space apart.
Bu Mie Demon Lord felt the immense Sword Qi, his face finally showed a serious expression, not daring to be careless, he fully activated Immortal Demon Technique to defend.
"Boom!" A loud explosion echoed, shaking the entire sky. When the dust settled, Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Immortal Demon Armor remained intact, only forcing him back a few steps.
Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng looked grim; compared to years ago, Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Demon Technique had deepened further. Their combined Sword Technique couldn’t even break through the Demon Armor he wore.
"Haha! You think you can break my Demon Armor? You’re dreaming!" Bu Mie Demon Lord laughed wildly, his voice thunderous and earth-shattering.
The Demon Armor on Bu Mie Demon Lord gleamed coldly in the sunlight. After a surge of Demon Qi, the sword wound left by that immensely powerful strike on the Demon Armor instantly healed, restoring it to its original state.
Witnessing this, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen’s faces fell.
Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Immortal Demon Technique was closely linked to the Demon Armor he wore. When the Demon Technique was running, the Demon Armor could automatically repair any damage it received, almost making Bu Mie Demon Lord unbeatable in battle.
"What now?" Sword Master Feng transmitted his divine thought questioningly, clearly not expecting Bu Mie Demon Lord’s power to have reached such a level.
Sword Master Chen’s eyes flashed with determination, and he transmitted his divine thought: "There’s a way we can try; you cover me, attack him at his vulnerable spots without armor."
Sword Master Feng nodded, acknowledging that this might be their only chance at the moment.
So, the battle ignited once more. Sword Master Feng maneuvered on the outskirts, drawing Bu Mie Demon Lord’s attention, while Sword Master Chen secretly gathered strength, searching for an opportunity.
Finally, under the cover of an intense clash between Sword Master Feng and Bu Mie Demon Lord, Sword Master Chen spotted a chance, his figure flashed, and he struck towards Bu Mie Demon Lord’s neck with lightning speed.
"Swish!" A soft sound resonated, Sword Master Chen’s long sword pierced towards Bu Mie Demon Lord’s neck like lightning.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, with both eyes focused on that one sword strike.
"Squelch!" A muffled sound echoed, Sword Master Chen’s long sword actually managed to stab Bu Mie Demon Lord’s neck, causing a gush of blood to spray out. However, Bu Mie Demon Lord did not fall; he waved his hand, sending Sword Master Chen flying away with a surge of Immortal Demonic Qi.
Who would have thought that this blow would actually succeed?
But an even more shocking event unfolded for the two Sword Masters. The Immortal Demon Armor on Bu Mie Demon Lord once again gleamed coldly, and after a surge of Demon Qi, the wound on his neck miraculously healed!
"How... how is this possible?!" Sword Master Feng exclaimed in shock.
Bu Mie Demon Lord revealed a sinister smile: "Do you think this can defeat me? Ridiculous! My Immortal Demon Technique has reached its peak, deathless and eternal, you can’t hope to kill me!"
After saying this, Bu Mie Demon Lord waved his hand furiously, sending a massive wave of Demon Qi sweeping towards the two, while Sword Master Chen and Sword Master Feng hurriedly swung their swords to resist, yet they were still knocked back.
Sword Master Feng stared at the Immortal Demon Armor on Bu Mie Demon Lord, seemingly finding a clue, he understood the reason behind Bu Mie Demon Lord’s invincibility.
Sword Master Feng’s eyes glimmered with insight, he said in a deep voice: "I understand now, this Immortal Demon Armor is not ordinary armor, it is indeed tightly connected to Bu Mie Demon Lord’s Demon Technique, practically becoming a part of his body. Whenever he suffers damage, the armor utilizes the Demon Technique’s power to automatically repair. This makes him nearly undefeatable in battle."
Sword Master Chen heard this, his brows knitted tight: "If that’s the case, does that mean we have no way to deal with him?"
Sword Master Feng shook his head and said: "Not exactly. Although the Immortal Demon Armor can automatically repair, the operation of the Demon Technique must surely consume a great deal of Demon Qi. We simply need to keep attacking, exhausting his Demon Qi; perhaps we can find a breakthrough point."
Bu Mie Demon Lord heard their conversation and couldn’t help but laugh loudly: "You think this can deplete my Demon Qi? How naive! My Demon Qi is endless; you will never exhaust it!"
With that, Bu Mie Demon Lord launched a fierce attack again, with Demon Qi surging like a tide, seemingly ready to engulf both.
Nevertheless, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen did not back down, engaging in a prolonged battle with Bu Mie Demon Lord.
For a time, Sword Qi and Demon Qi filled the sky over the Nether Water Sea Region, causing the heavens and earth to change color.
This battle endured for a long time, both sides fully exerting their might, yet Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen gradually realized that the Immortal Demonic Qi emanating from Bu Mie Demon Lord showed no signs of weakening, seemingly inexhaustible, impossible to erase.
"No way! This Demon Armor, paired with his Demon Technique, the Immortal Demonic Qi is endless." Sword Master Feng transmitted his divine thought to Sword Master Chen; he had not anticipated Bu Mie Demon Lord’s power to be such.
"There’s no choice then, let’s prepare to retreat! If Elder Li can help us refine the Dao Sword, with it in hand, taking down this fiend will be easy." Sword Master Chen responded via divine thought.
"It must be so!" Sword Master Feng nodded in response.
Thus, the two Sword Masters began to change their tactics, no longer attacking fiercely, but adopting a strategy of maneuvering and harassment, taking a defensive stance, fighting while retreating, preparing to escape from battle. Their swordsmanship was exquisite, their body techniques nimble. Though their attack power greatly diminished, it prevented Bu Mie Demon Lord from easily defeating them.
Bu Mie Demon Lord found himself immensely irritated by this tactic, repeatedly trying to capture them, but was consistently thwarted by their close coordination. The Immortal Demon Armor radiated Demon Qi, the Immortal Demon Technique operated at full force, transforming into Demonic Hands attempting to seize them, resulting in repeated failures.
"You two mice, is dodging and hiding all you can do?" Bu Mie Demon Lord roared angrily, Demon Qi churned on his body, clearly enraged by this delaying tactic.
Yet, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen acted as if they hadn’t heard, continuing to maintain their strategy, ready to retreat from battle. The Immortal Demon Armor on Bu Mie Demon Lord was too dominant, making it difficult for them to inflict any fatal damage.
Only when Li Mu provides them with the Dao Sword will be the moment to slay this fiend.
The battle continued, but the situation on the field had clearly shifted. The two Sword Masters turned defense into offense, while they were on the losing side, they were never defeated by Bu Mie Demon Lord. And although Bu Mie Demon Lord’s offensive was like a tide, he could not break through their defense, leading to extreme frustration.
Overwhelming Demon Qi engulfed the sea realm.
Meanwhile, Fang Yunjian maneuvered the Tier Six Spirit Sword, carrying Li Mu far from the Nether Water Sea Region, unable to see the colossal aftermath of the battle between Bu Mie Demon Lord and the two Sword Masters.
"Elder Li, does Bu Mie Demon Lord seem to recognize you? Do you have a grudge with him?"
Fang Yunjian relaxed his nerves slightly, curiously looking at Li Mu and asking with concern.
Just moments ago, standing beside Li Mu, he felt the fierce killing intent released by Bu Mie Demon Lord, aimed entirely at Li Mu, as if there was a deep hatred between them.
If not for the timely intervention of the two Sword Masters, helping them block, he would have been harmed by that fierce killing intent affecting his Divine Soul.
Hearing Fang Yunjian’s question, Li Mu’s gaze flickered slightly, he smiled bitterly and nodded: "Indeed, I am genuinely surprised that he became Bu Mie Demon Lord, truly incredible!"
Fang Yunjian silently watched Li Mu, waiting for him to continue.
"Over a hundred years ago, when he was still a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, he destroyed my Qing Xuan Sect and was slain by me. Unexpectedly, he escaped and cultivated such Demon Technique, even reaching Integration Realm. Now, he is Bu Mie Demon Lord; I’m no match for him anymore!" Li Mu frowned deeply, wary.
"I see," Fang Yunjian understood after hearing, pondered for a while, then suggested: "Elder Li, now that Bu Mie Demon Lord has you targeted, you should return to the sect to lie low; it would be wise not to venture out for a while!"
"That’s the only option!" Li Mu’s eyes revealed a touch of reluctance, and he nodded with a bitter smile.
