Battling the Greater Demon

The Demon saw his action and stopped its transformation, it grasped the great demonic sword fiercely with one hand and used the other to punch towards Ling Tian. "Smart move human but do you truly think you are my match? How ridiculous!"

A dozen Sword Rivers manifested behind Ling Tian, they looked like massive whips with terrifyingly sharp edges and points, each one was many times bigger than before reaching almost 200 meters in length. Ling Tian was going all out from the beginning. They looked as if they were made of blood.

Half the sword rivers extended towards the sword as the other half moved towards the fist of the demon. The Demon had a sneer as the two attacks collided. Fierce winds blew all the surroundings away, the lands trembled and the already ruined city walls in the distance crumble completely. A deep and loud rumbling sound echoed in the surrounding.

Ling Tian was blown back and violently crashed on the ground far away, creating a small crater, the sword rivers had cushioned his impact so he was fine. The Demon wanted to use the sword to attack but it noticed the sword was falling to the ground. Ling Tian had cut its fingers on the sword as he clashed with the fist. The Demon's fist was bleeding lava, as the lava left its body it turned to stone and healed him! The fingers grew back almost instantly. The previous ones had become mere boulders on the ground.

The Demon let out a cry of rage as he clenched his now healed fist and jumped hundreds of meters, It raised its foot ready to stomp on Ling Tian. The latter looked on calmly, 'I barely managed to evade it...Injuring the body seems pointless, he heals too fast... Maybe the heart or the head?' he thought as he used the bracers on his hand; A pair of wings made of Qi engulfed his arms and he flapped them with all his power.

He shot off at the speed of sounds towards the sky.

The demon stomped on the ground where he was previously mere moments later and formed a deeper crater that was 300 meters long and 100 meters deep in the place where he had crashed.

Ling Tian gained an altitude of 1 mile in moments as his speed slowed down, he looked up and saw he was mid-way to the demons head. He flapped again and shot off towards the head.

The Demon noticed his movement and realized he was coming for the head, it let a battle cry as the clouds in the distance trembled due to its voice's waves and brought both its hands together, it wanted to crush him between its hands.

He realized the Demon's plan and used the wings to change direction, he moved downward and reached the demon's legs; only one sword river appeared on his sword, Blood Bringer, this time; It was 400 meters long and had extended from the tip of his sword like the extension of its blade. It was as if the blade of his sword was 400 meters long.

It shone a bloody red color the same as his cold eyes as he slashed the demon's left leg and accelerated to dodge the demon hand trying to grab him by using wave repulser below his feet to maneuver mid-air and moved between the demon's legs and moved upward with extreme speeds comparable to the speed of sound; He appeared on the Demon's back and slashed the demon's neck.

The demon suddenly turned around and headbutted Ling Tian, the latter dodged to the side but was blown back due to the winds generated from the movement of the demon's head and crashed on a nearby mountain.

He crawled out of a man-shaped hole and spit blood, a moment later and all his injuries were healed. He looked up and saw the Demon had already healed its leg and no mark was even visible on the demon's neck. His expression turned grim, 'I didn't manage to cut off his leg but I should have done a deep cut and yet it healed so fast! I need to try something new...'

Far away, Lian Qiu and Huo Bing had not left; They stayed behind to see the battle from far away and both of them looked pale, The winds and shockwaves generated from the first exchanges blew back their hair and made their clothes flutter like crazy. They were observing near a river and they had moved 10 miles away from the battlefield and yet the aftershocks were still so powerful.

The demon moved fast and grasped its sword with both hands, It then ran towards Ling Tian's location, leaving behind foot mark the size of small craters and kicking up a lot of dust. The ground trembled as if an earthquake had come.

Ling Tian flew away and barely managed to dodge the Demon's swing. The small Mountain he was on, was cut in half and the shockwaves of the swing blew him away. The amount of dust in the air made it hard to see so the Demon stopped and cautiously looked around. An Idea appeared in Ling Tian's head, He flew up higher and higher till he was 3 miles in the air.

Hundreds of sword rivers appeared around him, they were 80 meters long but they were not shaped like whips instead they were shaped like swords and were 10 meters wide. These sword rivers slowly separated themselves from Ling Tian and hovered mid-air, pointing at the demon who could not see them due to the dust.

The Qi that had morphed into red-colored water felt like an extension of himself even if they were separated from the main Qi of his body and Dantian. He made the new sword rivers compress as he used telekinesis to make them compress even more.

The hundreds of sword rivers shrank till they were 40 meters long and 5 meters wide, suddenly the surroundings grew cold as the sword rivers began solidifying. He used his telekinesis so much that his head began hurting and a terrible pain appeared between his eyes but he persisted.

A moment later and the sword rivers had become solid red ice. They were not perfect and had many jagged edges and parts but he had created a new technique and the system did not register it. He realized it was his own.

He pointed at the Demon with his sword and lunched them all at it with all his power to command his Qi, he also used telekinesis to increase their speed and he had chosen a higher altitude to take advantage of gravity.

'I will name this technique, Rain of blood Ice Swords... I have to train and improve it in the future.'

Hundreds of bloody ice swords shot towards the Demon. As the Demon sensed danger, he saw the red projectiles coming; It threw its sword like a spear towards Ling Tian and tried to dodge...

The Ice swords rained on the demon and blew holes through its body, most of them went through and crashed on the ground, creating explosions of ice shards. The Ice solidified all the lava within the holes and thus the demon could not heal them any time soon. The lava turning solid due to ice created a lot of steam that exploded from the demon and spread to the surrounding creating a loud wheezing sound. The soundings for over 10 miles in each direction turned foggy.

Meanwhile, The Sword of the demon hit Ling Tian head-on, he was not fast enough to dodge it; He used Wave repulser to negate the incoming waves before the attack but it was too powerful so most of it remained unaffected; Cracks appeared on Wave repulser. Ling Tian's Qi was in disarray since he had used so much for the last attack and it had yet to recover so he could not defend with his Qi.

He channeled the Qi in his heart and strength filled his body, he swung wave repulser and blood bringer with all his might to parry the incoming massive sword with a battle cry.

The Demonic red and black Qi surrounding the sword arrived first, as it was going to hit Ling Tian the scarf on his neck shone and created a defensive shield that blocked most of it before cracking and immediately collapsing. The Qi corroded his body as the physical force of the attack arrived.

He parried with all he had but it was not enough, Wave Repulser shattered and cracks appeared on Blood Bringer; Most of the force was dispersed but the remains hammered on his body, he moved to the side to dodge as the tip hit his left arm. His left arm exploded...

He was blown back toward the sky and flew away for a while before crashing like a meteor on the ground, creating another small burning crater. He was very fast, the friction had created a lot of heat around him.

He felt excruciating pain all over his body, with a simple look with his divine sense that had been activated at XianTian and could only be used to view inside his body at the moment, he saw almost all his bones were broken. He was heavily injured and had lost his left arm. Suddenly, more than half the Qi in his heart that belonged to his body cultivation vanished as it moved in his body.

The pain went away as an extremely itching and ticklish feeling appeared all over. A few seconds passed and the feeling vanished... He stood up and to his shock, his left arm had grown back and he was back in perfect condition.

Not even a scar remained... 'This healing ability is a little...' His inner monologue was interrupted by a pained roar in the distance. He frowned as he jumped with all his power and moved towards the Demon, 'Its strength is too much for me... If it becomes fast as well, it's over! I can't let it!'

The Demon was riddled with holes, he looked like a man who had been shot at with a machine gun for several seconds, and despite that, no hole was close to its heart. Ling Tian saw the demon and realized what he had to do to kill it, 'The Demon Heart is the core and the weakness since it dodged all the ones aimed there... the holes in its head had done nothing!'

The Demon let out a very loud cry of outrage as it released tremendous heat. The Demon began turning red and yellow, all its body started to turn into lava. It was turning into a terrifying fire demon covered in lava. 'don't tell me this is not its true form? Even as a giant monster he was hiding it?!'

Ling Tian tried to approach it but the heat was too much, he couldn't! He realized since he couldn't approach and interrupt whatever the demon was doing, he might as well prepare his most powerful attack.

He shot up with the wings and flew with all his speed, his Qi had recovered slightly so he could use it. He flew higher and higher until he was past the clouds; he stopped and looked to the ground. His eyes widened.

The Demon's size was the same but the difference was it was covered in lava all over, its eyes the only part that was still made of fire. Two Wings of fire were on its back and his sword was in hand, it gazed at him with rage and suddenly shrank! Ling Tian was too high to interfere but he decided not to anyway!

He focused all his remaining Qi to form a Sword river but he did not let it grow big, he focused all of it on the sword. He didn't form the actual sword river, he combined the principle of sword Qi wave skill and water emperor sword art to his killing intent to form a new type of attack. This attack had been on his mind for a while and now he dared to try it.

The Qi was already very active due to his sword intent and now, its activity and energy were smoothly guided with the water emperor sword art's precision and smoothness to vibrate and flow in a certain pattern perfectly. The skill's principle of using more Qi for more attack power in the sword Qi wave was used to put more Qi into it.

As more Qi flowed in, the Qi would move at the edges of the blade and circle to the insides and go back to the outer layer and so forth, the new Qi appeared on the edges and joined this circulation. When waves of water collide, they vibrate; The Waves of Qi collided as they smoothly circulated thus the Qi vibrated at very high frequency and generated scorching heat due to the vibration and energy levels. He used his all control over Qi and sometimes telekinesis to barely pull it off. All his Qi was focused on this task...

Blood Bringer's blade shone a blinding red light and dimmed a little after as if a star was born. The sword was now creating a strange buzzing sound and was covered in blazing red light. 'It looks like a lightsaber! I made a super lightsaber...!!!'

He didn't have time to take joy in his accomplishment as he realized the Demon's transformation was about to end, he couldn't give it a chance to react. He had to kill it immediately.

He looked at the sword in his hand, specifically at its blade with a smile, 'Sith blade... I am naming this Sith blade...' He thought as he shot off towards the demon, using gravity and his altitude to gain speed.

He wore all black, had shining red eyes, and had a red lightsaber look-alike sword in his hand as he descended upon the demon at speeds higher than the sound that the mortal eye could not perceive. He truly looked like a Sith Lord...

From the distance, the pale Lian Qiu and trembling Huo Bing who were rooted in their spot saw a shining redline like a shooting star descend from the sky towards the demon. All this battle had barely lasted 1 and a half minutes...
