Volume 1, Chapter 108: I Want to See How You'll Kill Me
The Wind Controlling Sword incinerated the Sea of Blood and continued hurtling toward the Blood Demon Lord at极致 (extreme) speed. The Blood Demon Lord only saw a flash of scarlet light before the sword, surging with狂暴 (raging) Sword Intent of Fire, appeared before him.
"Kill!"
A trace of panic flickered in the Blood Demon Lord's eyes. He raised his right fist, and layers of bloody waves converged, condensing into a blood-red gauntlet on his fist. When all the bloody waves had merged into the gauntlet, he swung his fist toward the oncoming Wind Controlling Sword.
Rumble!
Thunderous booms erupted from the Blood Demon Lord's right fist as overlapping bloody waves surged toward the sword. Yet the Wind Controlling Sword slashed down, splitting the waves apart. Surging flames like a fire dragon engulfed the Blood Demon Lord, turning him into a human torch and sending him flying dozens of zhang (meters) before he crashed to the ground. The bloody waves, shattered by Lin Yu's sword, rippled outward and gradually dissipated.
The Blood Demon Lord struggled to his feet, the upper half of his robe reduced to ashes by the flames. His chest was charred black, and his internal organs severely wounded by Lin Yu's strike.
"Dammit! Do you think this can defeat me? This is my territory!" The Blood Demon Lord's face contorted with a mix of ferocity and疯狂 (mad) triumph. He raised both arms and intoned, "Sea of Blood, stir the waves! Ten thousand fiends, unite as one!"
Boom!
The horrific, eerie mountain of corpses at the town's center trembled violently. All the corpses on the mound collapsed as if their flesh and blood had been sucked dry, transforming into human skins in the blink of an eye. The flesh and blood within the corpses surged upward like a waterfall, pouring down onto the Blood Demon Lord.沐浴 (Bathed) in this river of flesh and blood, his injuries healed rapidly, and his aura even began to rise toward the eighth rank of the Myriad Forms Realm. Devouring all the flesh and blood in the corpse mound would make him an eighth-rank Myriad Forms warrior.
"Senior..." Zheng Qingyan's face paled. She opened her mouth to warn Lin Yu, but then saw his flying sword shoot out, severing the river of blood. The sword then ignited the unconsumed flesh and the collapsed corpse mound, turning them into a massive bonfire that lit up the night. Zheng Qingyan exhaled, swallowing her words.
Lin Yu beckoned, and the Wind Controlling Sword arced back to his side. The Blood Demon Lord glared at him furiously. "How dare you ruin my plans?"
"So what if I did?" Lin Yu sneered disdainfully. He should have waited for the Blood Demon Lord to devour the flesh and blood, advance to the eighth rank, then strike. This way, Lord Cauldron could provide more spiritual energy for his own breakthrough to the ninth rank after devouring the demon.
"Kid, you were too hasty. You should have waited," Lord Cauldron lamented, missing the chance to devour an eighth-rank Myriad Forms warrior.
"The townspeople were innocent. I can't let their corpses be devoured by demons after death. Burning them clean is the best way," Lin Yu shook his head. These百姓 (commoners) had already been slaughtered by the Blood Demon Lord. Whether he intervened or not, their deaths were unchangeable, but he couldn't ignore his conscience.
"Hehe! Do you think burning the corpses will stop me?" The Blood Demon Lord grinned hideously. "Three nearby villages were also massacred by me. Let's see how many times you can stop me!" As he spoke, he raised his arms again, and three booms sounded in the distance. Three bloody torrents pierced the sky, dyeing the moon red as they poured into the Blood Demon Lord's body.
Boom!
Before Lin Yu could intervene, the Blood Demon Lord's aura surged. By devouring the flesh and blood, he had indeed advanced to the eighth rank of the Myriad Forms Realm.
"Go!" Lin Yu shouted. The Wind Controlling Sword before him blazed with flames, hurtling toward the three bloody torrents. In an instant, all three were severed. The sword then vanished like a stream of light from Chu Chu and Zheng Qingyan's sight. Moments later, flames rose in the distance, followed by two more blazes. The corpses of the innocent in the three villages were incinerated by Lin Yu's flying sword, burning as bonfires in the night.
"Hehe! It's too late to stop me now. I'm an eighth-rank Myriad Forms warrior, your equal in strength. I want to see how you'll kill me!" The Blood Demon Lord clenched his fists, eyeing Lin Yu triumphantly.
Lin Yu raised his right hand and closed it, summoning the Wind Controlling Sword from the darkness into his grasp. He looked at the Blood Demon Lord calmly and sneered, "So what if you're eighth-rank? I'll still kill you." As he spoke, golden flames rose from the sword, as if a sun were emerging from its blade.
The Blood Demon Lord's face fell. Even before the strike, he could feel the terrifying might. With a roar, hundreds of bloody streams surged from his body, and he punched Lin Yu with both fists. The streams converged into a bloodstorm that tore through houses and corpses, reducing them to powder as it barreled toward Lin Yu.
"Senior, be careful..." Chu Chu and Zheng Qingyan cried out. The bloodstorm's power was so horrific that even behind Lin Yu, they felt at risk of being torn apart.
"Die!" Lin Yu's expression remained calm. He raised the Wind Controlling Sword and slashed at the oncoming bloodstorm. Myriad golden rays burst from the sword, and a blazing sun rose, forming a golden light that struck the bloodstorm.
Boom!
The bloodstorm stalled, then was split in two by the golden light. Flames within the light incinerated the blood energy, dissipating the storm in an instant. After the Great Sun Demon-Slaying Sword destroyed the bloodstorm, it continued slashing toward the Blood Demon Lord.
"Why does the Great Zhou Dynasty have such a powerful warrior?" Regret filled the Blood Demon Lord's eyes. If he had known the national teacher was this strong, he would have faced the swordsman who destroyed the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Great Han Dynasty instead of courting death here.
The golden light pierced his defenses and entered his forehead. The blazing sun instantly vaporized his soul. The Blood Demon Lord's eyes dulled to ashes, and he collapsed dead at Lin Yu's feet.
