Chapter 816: A Sword Array
Facing the charging black sword and the grimacing demon sword spirit sitting on it, Jiang Yun suddenly reached out and firmly grabbed the black sword.
Then he opened his mouth, sucked in forcefully, and swallowed the black sword along with the sword spirit sitting on it!
The Torture Demon technique was one of his most powerful abilities, and he had used it countless times before.
Despite opponents trying various methods to counter it each time, no one had ever done what Jiang Yun did by swallowing their own sword and sword spirit!
It was hard to imagine for others how much courage and determination it took to swallow a sword that could split and merge!
Jiang Yun felt helpless against this technique, and it unleashed his fierce character.
Unable to break or resist, he decided to swallow the sword instead, challenging it to continue splitting inside his belly!
However, Jiang Yun wasn’t giving the sword spirit any chance, and he sent the sword along with the sword spirit into his life fire!
Gui Li, who had always been alone in the life fire, was surprised to suddenly have a companion. At first, he was confused, but soon he showed a mischievous smile because he was no longer alone.
But just a moment later, the new companion let out a scream.
Shortly after, transparent threads appeared on his ghostly body, connecting to the black sword below, covering his entire body.
Under the burning of the life fire, these threads quickly vanished.
As these threads disappeared, he screamed in pain, and suddenly eighty sword spirits burst out of his body one after another.
Their identical faces changed abruptly into different faces of men, women, children, and elderly.
Then, the black sword exploded into a total of eighty-one small swords. Each of the eighty sword spirits had a small black sword inside them.
Jiang Yun witnessed this change and suddenly understood that these were not sword spirits, not even Torture Demon Dao Spirits, but souls!
Eighty-one souls, one main and eighty supporting, with all supporting souls hidden within the main soul.
On every soul, there are transparent threads that cover them, making them look like Torture Demons and disguised as sword spirits!
Naturally, the small swords are the same, all swords can merge or separate.
Jiang Yun is familiar with these threads, he has seen them on the souls of Liu Peng and Jin Cunyao before.
"This is also a kind of soul mark, just different from others, with different effects!"
"I see!"
Jiang Yun finally completely understands, because it aligns with his previous guess about the abilities of Torture Demons, they have the power to easily control others’ souls.
Understanding that the sword spirit is just a disguise for a regular soul, and not the Dao Spirit of Torture Demon, makes the bizarre technique less mysterious.
The key to this technique lies in three things – small swords that can merge, souls, and the mark on the soul!
"In reality, this technique of Torture Demon is not extremely powerful, and though the Black Sword seems to have exceptional defensive power, it can only withstand nine attacks at most. Once it turns into a small sword, it can be easily destroyed!"
"In simple terms, the purpose of this technique is to confuse and gradually wear down the enemy, like my Blade of Ruin, or spirit power!"
But Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "No, it’s more accurate to say that the power of this technique can vary greatly."
"The extent of its power depends entirely on these spirits."
"If a soul like Su Yang’s, or even a soul of higher level, is marked by the Torture Demon and hidden within the Black Sword, then even a small sword can unleash tremendous strength!"
"Regardless, I have at least figured out the true nature of this technique!"
From the moment Jiang Yun swallows the sword spirit to now, his mind has gone through many thoughts in just a few breaths.
With no time to continue pondering, Jiang Yun ignores the souls within his life fire, and instead opens his eyes and looks at the Torture Demon, saying, "How many swords and sword spirits like this do you have?"
The Torture Demon finally snaps out of his amazement at Jiang Yun swallowing the sword spirit.
Hearing Jiang Yun’s words, a cold light flashes in the Torture Demon’s eyes as he coldly smiles and says, "I have many! If you dare, swallow them all!"
As the words fell, the Torture Demon waved his sleeves and suddenly a hundred black swords appeared in the air.
On each black sword, there was a spirit sitting and staring coldly at Jiang Yun.
Although the scene was very shocking, Jiang Yun, who had seen through their true nature, was not surprised in the least!
"Is that all?"
And as Jiang Yun uttered these words, he raised his Hidden Tao Sword and softly said, "Sword, come!"
"Buzz!"
The Hidden Tao Sword, without any wind, vibrated gently, and a sword aura soared into the sky!
This sword aura was like a call from the Hidden Tao Sword.
Suddenly, from all directions of the Blood Path World, after the Tao Calamity just now, countless treasure swords rose into the air!
They were all swords!
A thousand swords floated in the air, each one different in shape and appearing chaotic.
Even though the scene was equally impressive, compared to the hundred black swords of the Torture Demon, both in power and aura, they were clearly inferior.
The Torture Demon’s face revealed a mocking expression, "Your Sword Control Art is good, but you should know my swords can split, so the number of your swords seems insufficient!"
Jiang Yun smirked coldly, "Enough or not, try and see for yourself!"
"Hmph!"
Seeing Jiang Yun’s confident demeanor, the Torture Demon did not waste words, with a sweep of his sleeve, the hundred black swords immediately shot towards Jiang Yun.
This time, Jiang Yun didn’t need to attack; the hundred swords exploded, turning into over eight thousand swords, like a rain of blades, charging towards Jiang Yun and the thousand swords.
At the same time, several Tao Marks rushed into the Hidden Tao Sword in Jiang Yun’s palm, causing the sword and his body to emit boundless Sword Intent.
The endless Sword Intent condensed into a solid sword in an instant, soaring into the sky!
Sword Intent Transformation!
"*BOOM!*"
Following that, the Sword of Sword Intention exploded and disappeared without a trace!
Witnessing this scene, Guluo, Xiang Hongchen, Fusangzi, and all forces inside and outside Peach Blossom City had their faces changed drastically, with a glint in their eyes.
Because they remembered how Jiang Yun had done the same when facing the ancestor of the Qiao family.
Back then, Jiang Yun summoned tens of thousands of swords, and when his Sword of Sword Intention exploded, the Sword Intent on it transferred to some of the swords.
At this moment, Jiang Yun made the same move again, could it be…
The thousand swords floating in the air suddenly started moving without any wind when Jiang Yun’s Sword of Sword Intention exploded.
Even without wind, each sword emitted a powerful Sword Intent!
Under the influence of Sword Intent, the thousand swords swiftly moved through the air, changing positions in an instant, forming a formation in the sky…
A formation of swords!
"This formation consists of nine hundred and ninety-nine swords, each bearing a unique Sword Intent. With the formation’s power, this Sword Intent can manifest in ten different variations."
"With just one Sword Intent, one dagger is destroyed. Will your sword stand a chance?"
Jiang Yun’s voice echoed in the Torture Demon’s ear!
