Chapter 529 Breaking the Light
As soon as Shi Yubai's mind moved, the foul and dark energy accumulated in the demon body surged out like a flood breaking through a dam.
That was no ordinary demonic energy, but rather the source of turbid evil that had been extracted from the depths of the Netherworld and accumulated for eternity. Its color was black with a hint of red, like solidified dirty blood, or like the substance compressed from countless resentful souls and evil spirits.
It came in an overwhelming manner, not only blocking out the light of the sky, but also bringing with it a terrifying power that directly invaded the soul and connected with the inner demons.
As soon as this energy appeared in the world, countless fragmented and distorted whispers suddenly sounded in the surrounding space, as if it could stir up the darkness and madness in the deepest part of the living beings' hearts.
This is exactly the treacherous evil spirit in the original novel that once lured Ji Yanli, who had a firm heart for Taoism, into depravity and tarnished his swordsmanship!
Shi Yubai looked down from above, glaring at the figure that was becoming increasingly clear in the demonic tide, like a white sail swimming upstream in turbid waves. A glimmer of light, a mixture of inquiry and malice, flashed in his red eyes.
The target was extremely clear, the thick black and red cyclone went straight to Lu Wensheng's sea of consciousness and spiritual platform!
He wanted to spy on and connect with this seemingly invincible leader of the righteous path, and dig out the deep-buried dark desires and evil thoughts that were the same as his own!
Lu Wensheng is also a flesh and blood person. How can a person who practices cultivation be completely pure?
There must be dark thoughts that cannot be revealed to outsiders, perhaps greed for power, resentment towards fate, or jealousy towards certain people, even a fleeting evil thought that the person himself may not even be aware of... Just a trace of it is enough to become a breakthrough for him to defile it and drag it off the altar!
He wanted to see what kind of unbearable darkness lay deep within the heart of this man, revered by the world as a god and as flawless as jade! He refused to believe that Lu Wensheng could truly remain untainted before this foul evil that could stir up the inner demons of all things!
Lu Wensheng saw the world in front of him suddenly lose its color, leaving only the heart-pounding black and red color filling his vision. It seemed that there were whispers of thousands of demons in his ears, and countless chaotic and twisted thoughts tried to penetrate into his sea of consciousness.
His face stiffened, and his deep brown eyes reflected the surging evil. Instead of retreating, he gripped the Fuguang sword even tighter.
The Fuguang Sword sensed the excitement of its master's heart and his awe-inspiring determination, and immediately emitted a clear and rapid humming sound. The sword light became brighter and the clear glow flowed, as if it was angry, warning, and even asking for a fight!
Without any hesitation, Lu Wensheng took a step forward, using his body as a shield, taking the lead and actively facing the monstrous evil aura!
He swung the sword in his hand. The sword light was not particularly bright and dazzling, but it was as condensed as a thread, carrying a sense of righteousness and peace. It cut into the black and red energy like water splitting and waves breaking!
"Lu Wensheng!"
"Be careful, Chief!"
An exclamation exploded from beside him.
Liu Jiqian's sword force tightened, and Jiangshuang's chill grew stronger; Ji Yanli turned around to help, but Jianxin sensed the weirdness of the evil spirit and his expression changed slightly; Song Wen, Qin Xiao and the others also felt nervous and activated their spiritual power to try to share the burden for him.
However, the next moment, they were all stunned.
I saw that in the black and red evil that was split apart by Lu Wensheng's sword light and was still trying to close and entangle, there were actually some imperceptible golden light specks flickering, like fireflies startled in the dark night, although weak, they stubbornly resisted the surrounding filth.
Before everyone could make out, a brighter sword energy, faintly mixed with an indescribable light golden glow, burst out from the sword in Lu Wensheng's hand, like the first ray of light before dawn, violently tearing through the thick darkness!
Wherever the sword energy passed, the evil spirits melted like ice and snow, making a mournful "hissing" sound.
This sword move was not a complicated one, but it carried a resolute Daoist rhyme of "sweeping away filth and restoring clarity". It was like the rising sun, dispersing the morning mist and fiercely splitting the thick demonic energy that enveloped him!
The black and red cyclone came into contact with the sword energy, making a sharp "hissing" sound like cold water dripping into hot oil. It was swiftly dissolved and purified by the sword energy containing a strange golden glow, and a gap was forcibly cut in it.
Lu Wensheng's figure standing with a sword in his hand reappeared, and his whole body was faintly radiating a warm yet inviolable hazy light, like a pure lotus emerging from the mud, or a bright moon breaking through the dark clouds.
However, careful people like Liu Jiqian and Ji Yanli keenly noticed that amidst the flow of clear light, there were indeed several red lines as thin as gossamer and as bright as blood. They were like living things, wrapped around Lu Wensheng's wrists and neck, and even tried to climb onto his eyebrows!
The red line exuded an ominous aura, which was the manifestation of the evil spirit successfully connecting with the evil thoughts!
A hint of smug grin and expectant astonishment flashed across Shi Yu's red eyes—success? But why was Lu Wensheng still surrounded by that unpleasant clear light?
But then he didn't have time to think about it.
Because Lu Wensheng at this moment was completely different from the gentle and introverted person he usually saw.
If we say that Lu Wensheng on ordinary days is like the still water in a deep pool, with a burning core but unable to erupt; then at this moment, he is like a volcano that has been freed from all its restraints, releasing all the restrained emotions, and venting the majestic fighting spirit and... the murderous intent as cold as winter without reservation!
The murderous intent was not chaotic and violent, but condensed, pure, and targeted, like the sharp edge of a divine weapon that had been tempered a thousand times, pointing directly at Shi Yubai!
"sulfuric acid--!"
Another sword light pierced the air, coming at us even faster and with even greater momentum! The core of that sword light, a faint golden hue, though not dazzling, carried an indescribable aura of righteousness that seemed to be able to cleanse all evil!
Shi Yubai subconsciously raised his hand and condensed magic energy to block.
The sword light collided with his claws covered with hard scales, and there was a crisp sound of metal clashing!
The expected situation of crushing the sword light easily did not occur. Instead, a burning and stinging sensation came from the claw tip, as if being burned by a red-hot iron!
Shi Yubai was shocked and could not help but retract his hand. He saw that on the devil's claws that were harder than pure gold, there was actually a shallow white mark left, and there were slight signs of burning on the edge!
How is this possible?! With Lu Wensheng's cultivation, even if he put all his strength into it, it would be impossible to break through the defense of his demonic body! That sword energy just now... there was something strange!
What made him lose his mind even more was Lu Wensheng's subsequent whisper.
The sound was not loud, and even had a hint of trance and distraction as if it had just escaped from some illusion, but it clearly penetrated the noise of the battlefield and reached his ears and the ears of the nearby monks with keen hearing.
"Kill him when the time is over..."
The moment the words fell, the ominous red lines wrapped around Lu Wensheng's body, symbolizing the evil thoughts that were aroused, melted and collapsed quickly like thin ice exposed to the scorching sun, and turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye, as if they had never existed.
It was as if... his "evil thoughts" were too pure and too "legitimate", even the evil spirits could not define them as true "evil" and attach themselves to them. Instead, they were purified by a certain power contained in them!
Lu Wensheng raised his eyes, and his pair of deep brown eyes, which were always peaceful and compassionate, now clearly reflected Shi Yubai's figure, with complex and strong emotions surging in them - there was an undisguised, icy murderous intent, as well as the forbearance that had been suppressed for a long time due to various concerns and the overall situation. Now all of them turned into a prairie fire, burning in his eyes.
Shi Yubai was shocked, feeling absurdity and rage mixed together.
This is simply not right! How could the Demon Lord's evil aura evoke such... such a "righteous" and "extremely direct" thought?!
It was not selfishness, greed, fear or hesitation, but it was so naked and undisguised - the intention to kill!
What kind of evil thought is this? This is clearly... a righteous evil!
