Sword Aura to the Heavens

Chapter 478: Chapter 473: Demons Enter the Capital?

The big-eared monk from Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, with the Dharma name ’Ten Zen’, is a high monk of the temple, deeply versed in Buddhist Law, representing the Buddhist Sect in the outside world.

This time he traveled from Shanzhou to the Capital, aware of the changes in the world, to quell the uncertainties.

Yet in this battle, the elite of the Buddhist Sect perished.

He gazed at the figures slain by the black sword light, those Sixth Realm Buddhist Cultivators, who were the elite of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, almost entirely lost in the Capital.

And they all died in the hands of one person.

The gaunt monk behind him also stepped forward, his face darkened with killing intent, devoid of any trace of Buddhist compassion.

Ye Qinghuang had somehow already appeared behind Li Fan, holding the Dragon Suppressing Whip, clad in white as pure as snow, her robes fluttering, with strands of mana waves emanating, with the Dragon Shadow revealing on the whip.

"Your Highness Princess, His Majesty promised that the Seven Realm people would not act against him, unaware that he is a demon. But now, this person is truly demonic, a mass murderer, likely intolerable, and His Majesty probably won’t stop it."

The Ten Zen monk stepped forward, with ten thousand feet of Buddha light emerging, and a colossal Buddhist Dharma Image appeared behind him, the Buddha holding a Buddhist staff, seated on a Divine Elephant, emanating a terrifying aura of oppression.

Once the intention to kill is born, there can be no holding back.

Now, he cannot care about so much. Even His Majesty must show some respect to Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, for this world is not solely the court’s world.

Moreover, the court itself is aligned with Ten Thousand Buddha Temple to destroy Li Mountain; no matter what, Li Fan must die.

"So it seems, Ten Thousand Buddha Temple no longer puts Da Li’s current emperor in its eyes?" Shi Dao Ren gazed towards the distant direction of the Imperial Palace, sighing, "The Da Li Court unifies the world, all four seas submit, yet somehow this old Taoist feels something is amiss?"

"Shi Dao Ren, stop your nonsense and deceptive words, His Majesty has stabilized the world, all four seas submit, except for Li Mountain, which defies the court, now turning demonic. How can the court ignore it?"

A long voice came from afar, and Heaven and Earth seemed to have boundless Sword Intent descending, shrouding Qiyun Mountain Range, causing countless cultivators present to look up, the sky was like a sword, and the dazzling Sword Intent pressed down on all.

In the Great Li Capital City, there was only one person with such extraordinary Sword Dao.

Second on the Sword Saint List, the first in Lingxiao Pavilion, Tai Xuzi.

It is said that Tai Xuzi had been in seclusion for years, no longer concerning himself with worldly affairs, with Lingxiao Pavilion’s affairs managed by others; even in the Capital, he hadn’t been seen for many years.

Yet today, he has arrived as well.

"Is that so?" Shi Dao Ren looked up and laughed. "Then tell me, does what the emperor said earlier still count? The person is in the Imperial City, the young ones attacking is one thing, but all the old ones rushing out, is it not tricking someone into this Capital?"

"A dying person doesn’t require the old generation’s action, but you, with me here, how dare you enter the Capital?" Above the Sky, endless sword streams hung down from the heavens, splitting the sky, with countless sword lights plunging toward Shi Dao Ren like sunbeams.

"This sword, is truly the Sword Sect of Ten Thousand Blades."

Countless cultivators looked at the endless sword light in amazement, a casual strike from the second on the Sword Saint List seemed like the Path of Sword.

"Such arrogance, why didn’t you personally visit Upper Li Mountain back then and send Wang Daoxuan to die, is the world’s first Sword Dao Sacred Land Li Mountain unworthy of your action?"

As Shi Dao Ren raised his hand, a gigantic wheel appeared above, the five elements revolving, accompanied by wind and thunder. Although his Swordsmanship, fourth in the world of Sword Dao, was not top-notch, his Daoist Skill was highly proficient, integrating with Sword Dao.

"By the way, if it weren’t for Wen Haoran and Blind Zuo encountering issues back then, would the second ranking on the Sword Saint List have fallen to you?"

As Shi Dao Ren laughed and shouted, the enormous wheel above the Sky spun, with thousands of swords landing on it, causing it to shatter, with fragments falling like huge stones.

Seeing it was about to be overwhelmed, Shi Dao Ren formed a Condensed Sword Seal with one hand, pointing to the sky, causing the surroundings to roar and a terrifying whirlwind of Sword Dao appeared, spiraling upward, with countless flying swords also emerging from it, some like thunder, some like hurricanes, others like boulders, golden justice swords, thick earth swords...

An extremely magnificent scene emerged in the sky, the countless flying swords clashing and colliding in mid-air, with destructive storms continuously spreading around, transforming the circumference of a hundred miles into a world of swords.

Countless cultivators looked up at the sky. There were rumors that almost all top ten Great Sword Cultivators on the Sword Saint List entered the Capital, and now they saw a battle between the second and fourth on the Sword Saint List, an opportunity once in a thousand years.

The Ten Zen monk glanced at the battlefield, then his gaze fell on Li Fan and Ye Qinghuang, putting his palms together in front, with the Buddhist Dharma Image behind him trembling, and said, "Amitabha Buddha, please let the Princess allow passage."

Ye Qinghuang swung the Dragon Suppressing Whip in her hand, staring at the Ten Zen monk, only to hear him continue, "Despite the Princess’s outstanding talent, you are still young, even with a Divine Weapon in hand, I fear you cannot stop me."

"Bald donkey, courting death."

Li Fan saw the Ten Zen monk pressing aggressively, with killing intent in his eyes, wondering whether the Xuanyuan Sword could be used to slay the monk of Ten Thousand Buddha Temple.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, the Ten Zen monk’s eyebrows twitched, he frowned and turned his gaze to the distant direction.

Not only him, but in the direction of Qiyun House, an elder in the main hall opened his eyes, with a gaze like lightning looking into the distance.

Even the two battling Great Sword Cultivators slightly restrained themselves, as if they also sensed something.

Additionally, the leading Daoist at Taiping Temple and the hidden powerhouses surrounding Qiyun Mountain Range also looked towards the distant direction, all perceiving the aura at the same time.

Li Fan, though slower than others in sensing, soon felt the demon energy within him growing restless, his deep eyes looking to the distance, only to see demon energy soaring into the sky from that direction, attempting to engulf the Capital.

Demons entering the Capital?

Are they mad?

Many years ago, a cataclysmic war erupted between humans and demons. For years, humans were in cities and demons in the wild.

And this place, the Capital, was a gathering place for the top human cultivators, with the Imperial Palace there, how dare the demons come to the Capital?

But such a bizarre event was happening at this moment.

Moreover, demon energy swept across half the sky from afar, clouds obscuring the sun, causing countless people in the Capital to look up, with the demons approaching without any veil.

Within the demon energy obscuring the sky and sun, a massive demon army was marching straight in this direction, with the target also being the Qiyun Mountain Range.

Before long, as the demonic fog rolled in, people saw figures appearing, all of human shape but exuding a demonic aura.

"Demons."

Everyone’s hearts trembled, all eyes fixed on those demon shadows.

The human cultivators in the dojo soared into the sky.

The leading demon was a middle-aged man in white robes, with a pale face devoid of color, his white demon eyes falling on Li Fan, not only him, but the surrounding demons all staring at Li Fan.

"Coming for me?" Li Fan thought to himself, is it due to the demon within him?

Years ago in Yun Meng Swamp, the Demon Saint sensed the demon within him, and in today’s battle, he used that power, likely discovered.

But the demon within him enough to make demons go to such great lengths to invade the Capital?

This made him increasingly suspicious of the relationship between the court and the demons.

"Bald donkey, aren’t you here to suppress demons, now that demons are before you, why doesn’t Ten Thousand Buddha Temple hurry to suppress and eliminate them, what are you waiting for?"

Li Fan said to the Ten Zen monk, it seemed most timely.

Ten Zen looked towards the demons, his gaze shifting unpredictably as if contemplating something, but the white-robed Great Demon opposite merely pointed to Li Fan, saying, "I want to take this person."

The humans at the foot of Qiyun Mountain Range found this extremely peculiar, demons entering the Capital was already strange enough, but the demon pointed directly at Li Fan, declaring to take him.

Are the demons crazy, or are they?

"Gentlemen, this is the Great Li Capital City." The Ten Zen monk looked towards them and said, "Have you forgotten something?"

"This person, I must take." The white-robed Great Demon repeated, making the vast space extraordinarily quiet, enveloped in a strange atmosphere.

"The Great Li Capital City is the center of the dynasty, how did demons enter the city? Moreover, these demons have come directly to the Capital to demand someone?"

Li Fan’s voice, though weak, was still audible, seemingly mocking.

What was happening now intrigued him greatly.

Perhaps, some unknown truths might be unveiled today.

"This is the Capital, people cannot be taken by you." A voice came, drawing everyone’s attention, and a young figure was seen flying through the air, surprisingly the Third Prince Ye Xiaochen.
