Chapter 287.1: Light in the Rain - Part 1

The towering dharma idol was enormous, indifferent as it looked down on the city wall. A vast demonic qi continuously spilling from it, cascading down to the mortal realm, yet failing to fall on the city wall. Liu Banbi's sword qi similarly surged to the sky, unleashing waves of majestic sword light from the city wall, striking towards that enormous dharma idol.

The entire scene was unbelievably shocking!

With a single punch, the towering dharma idol shattered several sword lights. Looking at the falling sword qi, he did not have any emotion, Liu Banbi leaped into the air, the long sword in his hand moving from bottom to top, drawing a visible and dazzling white line between heaven and earth.

It was as if this one attack was going to tear open a massive gap in the world, splitting the entire expanse of heaven and earth in two!

In the previous battle, Liu Banbi had displayed such prowess when he split the great demon, Green Pine's dharma idol, shocking a large number of cultivators from the demon race.

Now that the black-robed great demon unleashed his dharma idol, even he himself was also contemplating whether his current actions would lead to a repeat of history.

In the next moment, the dazzling sword light had already cut through. Sensing the surging sword intent within, the black-robed great demon made an unexpected decision: he dispelled most of the qi within the dharma idol. His entire person separated from the dharma idol and landed far away.

The dazzling sword light collided with the dharma idol. Without the black-robed great demon's support, it naturally cut through it as if cutting through tofu.

As the dharma idol shattered, a vast aura dissipated in all directions, producing a thunderous sound akin to a storm!

Liu Banbi landed back on the city wall, sheathing his long sword back at his waist.

"Got scared just like that? Lame."

Liu Banbi took the gourd from his waist and took a sip. He frowned and said, "Fighting like this, even drinking feels unsatisfying."

Liu Banbi carried Embracing Cicada in his hand. After delivering a sword strike, he swiftly approached, his blue robe fluttering loudly. This sword immortal who had long forgotten the teachings of sages and wise men smiled as he unsheathed his sword, his eyes filled with sword intent and killing intent.

The black-robed great demon was expressionless. After the sword strike cut through the demonic qi in front of him, he also threw a punch. As a great demon who had cultivated for so many years, he did not believe that he needed to dodge when facing the sword immortal before him. Even though the facts had already shown that he was forced out of the grand array by the sword immortal's attack, he considered it a momentary lapse, not a true defeat.

Endless demonic qi surged out from his body, flowing through his arm meridians into that massive fist, and finally gushed out to meet the tip of that Embracing Cicada.

A strong wind suddenly arose. Liu Banbi's black hair swayed in the wind. The demonic qi at the hem of his blue robe transformed into several small dragons that traveled up. But just as they traveled halfway, they were completely torn apart by a sword light that stood in front of Liu Banbi. The dragon heads were directly severed, and the demonic qi naturally dispersed.

Liu Banbi flicked his sleeve, completely dispelling those demonic auras.

At the same time, the tip of Embracing Cicada had already pressed against the black-robed great demon's fist.

In that instant, on the city wall, an air billow burst out between the two, like a colossal wave, pushing towards the distance. The grand array on the city wall, which had already been breached, had several more cracks appear when pushed hard by this air billow at this moment. When Wan Shi saw this scene, his eyes opened wide.

He had seen Nepenthe cultivators in action before, but he had never witnessed a battle between a so-called sword immortal and a great demon.

It was evident that both of them had yet to unleash all of their respective abilities, but even as things stood, it was already extraordinary.

The most soul-stirring battle in this world that was recorded in history, was when that sword immortal carried his sword to battle that previous generation Demon Emperor from the Demon King's Court!

But now, that sword immortal had disappeared long ago, and that Demon Emperor had long since passed away.

Battles between the demons and sword cultivators were always a spectacle to behold.
