Chapter 284: Heavenly Sword Cuts the Devil
Chapter 284: Heavenly Sword Cuts the Devil
The Water Palace of Pang River. The river water swayed gently, and Lu Heng, dressed in white, appeared once again.
Returned from the netherworld of the afterlife.
Lu Heng is unaware of the story of Purple Fish and has no intention of investigating it.
Eight or nine out of ten things in the world don't go as one wishes.
Even the devil who kills people to refine his skills is not necessarily born bad.
As humans live in this world, they will always encounter dangerous and evil things to varying degrees.
However, no matter how tragic one's past may be, it is not a reason to fall into the demonic path and harm others.
The strong become angry and draw their swords against even stronger foes.
The cowardly become angry and draw their swords against even weaker foes.
No matter the reason, no matter the past, when a victim starts blaming the heavens, draws their sword and harms innocent people, they become no different from those evil people who hurt them.
Even if there is a tragic past, one can only say that the situation is pitiful and the crime is unforgivable.
So Lu Heng didn't want to delve into the past of this Purple Fish, as no matter how tragic her past may be, it won't change her present outcome.
To judge good and evil, to mete out punishment and determine guilt, those are matters for Chakravartin You Yue to consider, not for Lu Heng.
He left the netherworld and returned once again to the Water Palace of Pang River.
The young boy Shen Wuyou has already regained consciousness, and is currently sleeping on his bed.
Chaotic Soul Technique caused some damage to his soul, and now Gu Zhou is treating him for it.
Meanwhile, Lu Heng has other matters to attend to.
According to Purple Fish's account, in the current Fire Pass Country, demonic activities are rampant and the situation is extremely chaotic. There are even rumors that evil demons are plotting to kill Lu Heng.
Lu Heng may not necessarily believe in such rumors circulating in the martial arts world, but he is also acutely aware of the current chaotic state of the Fire Pass Country.
The original him believed that the desolation of the land for thousands of miles was caused by the rampage of the Green Hell Cave within the country's borders.
However, the testimony of Purple Fish made him realize that the foreign demons lurking in the shadows, though fighting amongst themselves, had already formed an undeniable force.
If these foreign demons are allowed to rampage, it will make the already disastrous situation in the Fire Pass Country even more difficult.
Fortunately, these foreign demons are still fighting amongst themselves and there is no one guiding them at the moment.
Therefore, today's Lu Heng will do a great thing, he will let all the demons in the Fire Pass Country know that Lu Heng will never allow these demons to cause chaos wildly!
Don't the demons all say that the swordsmanship of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is unparalleled and unbeatable in the world?
Hearing is believing, seeing is convincing.
Only by hearing the legends, the demons certainly have no real understanding.
Therefore, today's Lu Heng will let all the demons see what the so-called unparalleled swordsmanship in the world really looks like!
"Xiao Ai!"
Lu Heng in the courtyard spoke up and called Xiao Ai, "Please ask Madam Gu Zhou to remove the formation at the Water Palace. The upcoming movements may be a bit loud, so ask her to calm the waves in the river."
As Lu Heng spoke, he made a gesture with his right hand, and the Heavenly Thunder Sword on Xiao Ai's back rang with a clear sound and flew directly over to hover in front of Lu Heng.
After the sword from the South Sea suppressed all sides, it has not been drawn for five years.
The God Slaying Heavenly Thunder brewing within the sword has long reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and its power is even more terrifying than when it was drawn in the South Sea years ago.
Feeling Lu Heng's state of mind, this dark green sword hummed incessantly and trembled excitedly.
Xiao Ai was slightly surprised and understood the intent of the Wolf God.
This sword... is going to be drawn...
But isn't it only against a group of low-level ordinary demons? The Wolf God actually wants to use the Heavenly Thunder Sword...
Xiao Ai was puzzled in her heart, but she still respectfully went to carry out the order.
She quickly left the courtyard and entered the guest room where Shen Wuyou was asleep. She spoke to Gu Zhou the River God beside the bed.
"Madam River God, the Wolf God requests that you temporarily remove the formation around the Water Palace. He intends to draw his sword and destroy the demons."
Xiao Ai's words made Gu Zhou slightly surprised.
She had also heard of the Wolf God's unparalleled swordsmanship that suppressed the world and had once shaken the four directions with one sword in the South Sea.
But now the Wolf God has to draw his sword in the river...
She quickly removed the formations around the Water Palace and headed towards the courtyard where the Wolf God was.
In the courtyard, Lu Heng lightly flicked his right hand and had already pulled out the thin thread that had been left behind when he severed the soul of Purple Fish.
Through this spiritual thread, Lu Heng can feel the physical location of Purple Fish's body.
And under the power of the Requiem Seal, Lu Heng could even sense the location of the physical body at the other end, as well as the curses of those demons.
It seemed that those demons were still running away, afraid that Lu Heng would come looking for them.
But while running, the demons continued to curse and argue vehemently over the fleshly body of Purple Fish.
Ignoring the various heavy curses and noise coming from the demons, Lu Heng smiled slightly. He directly activated the thin thread of soul, dissipated it, and transformed it into the original divine thought, attaching it to the Heavenly Thunder Sword.
Inside the water palace where the river surged, Lu Heng neither had any magnificent array nor any preparatory hand seals. He simply lightly flicked the dark cyan sword floating in front of him with his finger and smiled.
"Go ahead, let those demons broaden their horizons and see what it truly means to be peerless in this world."
Lu Heng's tone was calm and his words gentle, yet the moment his voice fell, the Heavenly Thunder Sword in front of him suddenly hummed and vibrated with excitement.
Clang!
With a piercing sword cry, the sound echoed throughout the Water Palace of Pang River.
The powerful sword intent and momentum surged out in an instant, sweeping out in all directions and causing the water of the Pang River to violently surge.
Witnessing this scene, the River God Gu Zhou was deeply moved and immediately understood why the Wolf God had asked her to stop the river's flow.
Just the trace of sword intent leaked from the scabbard was enough to surge through the entire Pang River, causing its waters to transform into a flood that submerged both banks.
Radiant splendor shone forth from Gu Zhou, quickly enveloping the waters of the Pang River.
Clothed in divine robes, Gu Zhou continued to rise up within the river, gritting her teeth as she unleashed the full extent of her power as the River God, using the mighty strength of a water goddess to firmly bring the flow of the Pang River to a halt.
The unrelenting surges of sword intent within the river caused her whole body to tremble and her form to sway.
Fortunately, that sword intent was not directed towards her, and what she faced were merely ripples, with the power of the River God to alleviate the force.
Even so, Gu Zhou's complexion still turned slightly pale, and she was shaken violently.
An incredulous fear arose within her heart.
Ripples! These are merely just ripples!
Just the ripple caused by unsheathing the sword was already about to surpass her ability to control.
If the Wolf God were to direct that sword towards her, what a hopeless and terrifying scene it would be?
Is that what the rumored unparalleled swordsmanship of the world looks like?
Truly, only hearing rumors, one can never comprehend the terror of the Wolf God's sword.
However, the most terrifying thing is that this sword has not truly been unsheathed yet...
Gu Zhou the River God looked down at the water palace below, her face pale as the dark blue ancient sword trembled slightly.
Then, the sword rose slowly.
A certain fear emanating from the depths of the soul shook, and with the unsheathing of the sword, it echoed soundlessly in the river.
In that moment, all creatures within the Water Palace of Pang River, including the unenlightened fish and aquatic beings, cowered on the riverbed, trembling with fear and awe.
The power of the God Slaying Heavenly Thunder, which destroys everything, is the most primal fear for all worldly creatures.
It is completely unstoppable!
