Chapter 656: An Unfinished Stroke
Beneath the body of the Against-Demon Bridge, there were five extra brush hairs, which meant that this Demon Refining Pen made by Jiang Yun was almost complete!
Ever since Jiang Yun learned about the existence of the Spirit of the Boundary Sea from Fang Mang, he had been thinking of ways to deal with it.
Even if he could perform the ritual five or even six times to reach the Sky Blessed Realm based on his strength alone, it might not be enough.
Therefore, dealing with the Spirit of the Boundary Sea required other means.
And that means was Jiang Yun’s identity as a Demon Refiner!
Whether it was the Spirit of the Boundary Sea, the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, or even the laws of nature, they were all considered demons!
Since they were demons, they needed to be controlled by a Demon Refiner. When strength was lacking, the only way to deal with demons was through the methods of a Demon Refiner.
It might still not be guaranteed to defeat the Spirit of the Boundary Sea, but at least there was a slightly better chance!
Little Fu and five other demon beasts who were on Against-Demon Bridge woke up after sleeping for over three years.
After they received the Title Confering Demon Monument’s approval, their strengths improved greatly.
Little Fu reached the peak of the Sky Reaching Realm just like Jiang Yun, and the other four demon beasts also entered the Sky Reaching Realm.
The higher their strengths improved, the more powerful the seals created by the Demon Refining Pen became.
Therefore, even though Jiang Yun almost used all his strength at the beginning, his true ace in the hole was the Demon Refining Pen!
The spell that temporarily froze Hai Changsheng and the Boundary Sea, Feezing Sea, was left by the previous sect master Dao Tianyou in the Seeking-Tao Sect Sect Master Ring.
Jiang Yun spent these three years diligently practicing this spell.
However, he couldn’t use it as freely as Dao Tianyou could. For Jiang Yun to use the spell, he needed to stay close to the frozen object. So, Jiang Yun kept looking for the right opportunity.
Until one day, his words unintentionally angered Hai Changsheng, who then approached him. Jiang Yun seized this rare opportunity and used Feezing Sea to freeze Hai Changsheng in place.
Even so, Jiang Yun didn’t dare to delay any longer. He speculated that his Feezing Sea could only freeze Hai Changsheng for a short moment.
Therefore, as he took out the Demon Refining Pen, Jiang Yun spat out blood and quickly drew an Evil Suppression Seal on Hai Changsheng’s face with his own blood.
"Hum!"
In just a moment, the Evil Suppression Seal was successfully completed.
Like a mark, it suddenly entered Hai Changsheng’s wide eyes, making two Taoist Demon patterns appear in his eyes.
Especially the powerful aura emanating from his body dissipated instantly.
This is the effect of the Evil Suppression Seal, not only sealing Hai Changsheng’s senses but also suppressing some of his cultivation.
If Jiang Yun could unleash the complete Evil Suppression Seal, with the Demon Refining Pen, he could seal more of Hai Changsheng’s senses and cultivation.
If Jiang Yun could seal Hai Changsheng’s nine apertures, Hai Changsheng would be completely immobilized, unable to move a muscle even with his extraordinary abilities.
Unfortunately, sealing up two openings was the best Jiang Yun could do!
However, as the Evil Suppression Seal was completed, Jiang Yun’s Demon Refining Pen didn’t stop, but spurted out more blood.
With blood as ink once again, Jiang Yun drew a "one" stroke on Hai Changsheng’s chest.
It was another seal, but an incomplete one!
Demonic Life-Death Seal!
The last and most powerful skill among the Demon-Refining Nine Seals.
This skill can slay demons, yet also aid them.
To slay a demon is to make it perish, to aid a demon is to make it thrive!
Since the time at Qing-zhu Desolate World, Jiang Yun had been contemplating the Demonic Life-Death Seal, but his strength was too weak to use it.
In the past three years, Jiang Yun has been working hard on the Demonic Life-Death Seal, even splitting it apart following the practice of the Evil Suppression Seal.
Now, with the help of the Demon Refining Pen, in the state of four sacrifices, Jiang Yun is finally able to successfully draw the first stroke of this seal.
Although Jiang Yun has not fully completed this first stroke yet, there was a sudden commotion in the sky and the earth, especially within the Boundary Sea, which was boiling and churning.
A large amount of demonic energy was crazily rushing towards this stroke!
If this stroke can be completed, then Hai Changsheng’s strength will be weakened once again.
According to Jiang Yun’s initial estimate, completing the Evil Suppression Seal in one breath, completing the Demonic Life-Death Seal in two breaths, and three breaths in total would be just right.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Hai Changsheng’s strength.
Before Jiang Yun’s first stroke of the Demonic Life-Death Seal could fully land, Hai Changsheng, who was frozen in place, suddenly exhaled a long breath.
The Art of Freezing Sea only trapped Hai Changsheng for two breaths!
"Bang!"
Hai Changsheng’s breath hit Jiang Yun’s chest directly, too fast for him to dodge.
To Jiang Yun, this breath felt like the endless Boundary Sea crashing into him.
The force of the hit made Jiang Yun fly backward.
Despite blood coming from his mouth, Jiang Yun smiled bitterly, almost completing a crucial task.
If he could finish the deadly Demonic Seal, it would weaken Hai Changsheng even if not kill him.
Unfortunately, he realized he wouldn’t get that chance.
As he flew through the air, Jiang Yun’s voice reached thousands of Seeking-Tao Sect disciples.
"Leave now, those who stay will be considered enemies of the sect!"
Everyone in the Seeking-Tao Sect was nervously watching Jiang Yun and Hai Changsheng’s battle. Although they weren’t afraid of dying, they really wanted to help Jiang Yun.
They knew that even Xia Zhongxing couldn’t intervene in this huge battle.
If Jiang Yun didn’t have the Hidden Tao Sword with nine different powers, and if Hai Changsheng had wanted to kill Jiang Yun from the beginning, Jiang Yun would have died long ago.
Now, when they heard Jiang Yun’s command, they knew that Jiang Yun was determined to fight with all his might!
Their sect master was willing to sacrifice his own life to save theirs.
They didn’t want to leave; they would rather stay and fight alongside their sect master, even if it meant dying in battle.
But if they stayed, it would be considered a betrayal to the sect.
If they left, they would never find peace in their hearts again.
"Let’s go!"
At that moment, Xia Zhongxing made a quick decision, spoke up suddenly, and took the lead by rushing out.
Jiang Yun had already decided to fight to the end. So, regardless of whether others stayed or left, he was determined to fight. Therefore, instead of staying here and sacrificing for no reason, it would be better to listen to him and go!
"Leader of the sect!"
Some disciples still hesitated, shouting these two words at Jiang Yun. But before they could finish, Xia Zhongxing shouted again, "Anyone who doesn’t leave will face merciless killing!"
With a sense of resignation, unwillingness, anger, and reluctance, the three hundred thousand Seeking-Tao Sect disciples held back their tears, running frantically on the No-Returning Road as if they had gone crazy.
They could only leave, only escape from this place, and only let their sect leader sacrifice himself!
All of this, just because they were too weak!
"Lan Huazhao, from this moment on, you are the thirty-seventh sect master of the Seeking-Tao Sect!"
In Jiang Yun’s voice, the Sect Master Seal and Sect Master Ring had already detached from his hand and flew directly towards Lan Huazhao.
