Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 136: Man and Sword as One, Achieving Victory in One Battle

"The number of viewers on Xingwang's live stream has exceeded 10 million, with 30% of them coming from Shan Hai Tian Xia. It seems that the viewers of Shan Hai Tian Xia are paying close attention to their team!" The staff at the off-site live stream kept shouting out the constantly updated data, relaying the message to the commentary booth. "This number has broken the previous record for the number of viewers on the live stream, and it is still rising."

With Yoona's help in promotion, Li Chunfeng's appearance brought his own traffic.

With the support of his hometown audience, he became incredibly popular online.

The Kyushu Tianxia team, playing on home soil, received even more support from the audience, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

The head of the Kyushu Media Center also remarked with emotion, "It's probably the continued military campaigns against the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm this year, as well as the ongoing unveiling of the mysterious Abyss City, that have stimulated public participation."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the long-awaited World Team Battle Finals are about to begin. The first battle will be between the Shanhai Academy team from Shanhai Tianxia and the Shenzhou Academy team from Jiuzhou Tianxia."

The live commentator's voice rose, "Li Chunfeng, the captain of the Shan Hai Tian Xia team, just topped the Super God Tribulation Ranking with a record of two thousand consecutive wins on the Yuancheng Sword Tournament Stage at the first level of the Boundary Abyss. He suppressed all the geniuses from the Ten Thousand Demon Realm and the Ghost Fang Realm, leaving them unable to lift their heads."

"Wen Xiangzhu, the captain of the Kyushu World team, is a natural-born sword immortal, possessing the Innate Sword Saint Body. Although he has only recently begun to show his talent, he has already achieved many extraordinary feats, and defeating enemies of higher levels is commonplace for him. Let's wait and see who will emerge victorious in this fierce battle!"

Undoubtedly, this famous commentator is also a professional and knows how to arouse the audience's passion.

hum!
The teleportation beam enveloped both teams.

As the light faded, both sides were teleported onto the battlefield.

This is an ancient city in ruins, with dilapidated high-rise buildings standing side by side. Even though most of them have collapsed, their former prosperity is still evident. This was once the battlefield of the city invaded by the Demon Realm, and it is now completely abandoned.

At the Xihe Palace, a giant projection screen displayed a realistic battlefield scene. The same realistic technology used in the game "Honghuang" made the audience feel as if they were actually there.

Li Chunfeng and his group of five found themselves on the rooftop of an abandoned high-rise building. The evening wind was blowing and the sunset on the horizon was beautiful, but there was no one to appreciate it.

Is this battlefield map designed for people to engage in ground-based urban warfare?
Unfortunately, no street fighting is expected today.

"Scatter!" Li Chunfeng shouted in a low voice.

Hu Yifei and the others understood immediately and scattered, hiding in various corners.

Both sides have come this far by going through numerous trials, so there's no need for any further testing.

The information you need is already readily available online.

Those from the Nine Provinces were clearly aware of Li Chunfeng's methods for gaining fame. As soon as Wen Xiangzhu landed, he immediately shouted, "Form the formation!"

The team of five consisted entirely of cultivators, each possessing a magic weapon-grade flying sword.

With Wen Xiangzhu's command, they instantly occupied the five positions, forming a Five Elements Five Directions Sword Formation.

Once the formation was complete, it immediately transformed into five sword rainbows that soared into the sky, heading straight for Li Chunfeng's team on the opposite high-rise building. The key was speed; they wanted to seize the initiative and not give Li Chunfeng time to calmly deploy his lantern ghost clones.

At the very least, you must quickly get close to the opponent's main body.

Unfortunately, by the time they had flown halfway there, the sky was already covered by 108,000 lantern ghosts.

The next instant, countless soul fireballs rained down from the sky.

The spectators gasped in unison. The incredibly realistic technology was a problem; under the immense pressure of divine power, the sky was dyed a bewitching crimson. Endless soul fireballs rained down, seemingly about to strike them directly.

Commentators: "Unbelievable! Is this what the players feel when facing a sea of ​​lantern ghosts? It's absolutely astonishing."

"Sword formation, deploy!"

Wen Xiangzhu shouted loudly and pointed his finger out. The endless sword energy gathered into a long river of sword energy, which broke through the sea of ​​lantern ghost fire and rushed towards Li Chunfeng.

Wherever the river of sword energy passed, dilapidated buildings collapsed with a deafening roar, creating an astonishing spectacle.

Li Chunfeng and Mosquito Daoist merged into a demonic form, unfurling six black wings of light, and instantly vanished into the air.

Wen Xiangzhu frowned, and with a flick of his sword finger across his brow, a sword mark suddenly appeared, as if he had opened a third eye, scanning the surrounding void.

Judging from his expression, he seemed confident that he could see through Li Chunfeng's figure as he disappeared into the void.

"Behind, be careful!"

His warning came a little too late. A massive, pale silver figure, wielding a giant sword, suddenly landed at the center of the sword formation. The sword danced wildly, breaking the formation with sheer force. This strike landed precisely on their vital spot, instantly severing the source of their combined sword energy river and significantly reducing its power.

Wen Xiangzhu's heart skipped a beat, "This person actually has a pupil technique that can see through formations!"

His body radiated a surge of sword-like light.

"hold head high--"

A deafening dragon roar shocked the entire audience.

The sword energy roared like a dragon; this was clearly an extremely advanced sword control technique.

Immediately, a vast sword energy dragon surged forth, baring its fangs and claws as it swept towards the battle intent entity.

The sword-qi dragon strangely evaded the entanglement of the battle intent entity's fire-blade holy sword, and smashed through the battle intent entity's psychic shield with overwhelming force, severing half of the battle intent entity's body.

Li Chunfeng merged his mind with his battle intent, feeling a chilling sword intent rushing straight to his heart. It was as if he were truly facing a black, ancient dragon.

With a single sword strike, the chilling moonlight transformed into sword energy and poured down.

Li Suian's heart skipped a beat.

The sword intent surged into his heart, and he saw the full extent of Wen Xiangzhu's sword intent:

A black, ancient sword-qi dragon, strangely shaped, with prominent horns and coral-like blades winding its way through it. Its massive body was entirely composed of sword energy, including every scale of varying size. Its limbs and claws formed a sword array that enveloped the heavens and earth.

"What kind of sword technique is this? It's so powerful!"

"Understanding the techniques, mastering the methods, integrating oneself, controlling the momentum, and comprehending the meaning."

This child truly deserves to be called a sword immortal; at such a young age, he has already grasped the essence of swordsmanship and swordsmanship to such a degree.

Li Chunfeng's battle intent shattered instantly, and he didn't even have time to replenish his soul power to repair it.

Fortunately, he had achieved his goal. The instant the sword energy river snapped, countless cannons bombarded in, shattering the sword energy river into pieces. Wen Xiangzhu's teammates couldn't withstand even three breaths before being enveloped by streaks of white light and eliminated.

Only Wen Xiangzhu remained, his body enveloped by a black flying sword.

Alone with only a sword, accompanied by the booming sound of sword energy and thunder, he nimbly weaved through countless fireballs, managing to escape the sea of ​​fire with only a dozen or so soul fireballs.

With a clear and bright mind, one can traverse the azure sky, travel thousands of miles on a sword, and have a tacit understanding with others.

This is a manifestation of the innate swordsmanship physique.

If he were to unleash the sword light splitting and the sword refining into threads in the next moment, Li Chunfeng would not find it strange.

Li Chunfeng did not act rashly. With victory in his grasp, he simply proceeded step by step. He used his lantern ghost clones to encircle and intercept his opponent, not seeking immediate success, but gradually eroding his opponent's living space. He himself, like a venomous snake, lurked in the void, gathering his strength, waiting for the opportune moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

Wen Xiangzhu was helpless. Sword cultivators are known for their combat power. His swordsmanship is extremely powerful. He can break through ordinary lantern ghost clones with a single sword strike, but this is 108,000 swords, which is too many.

If he encountered Li Chunfeng on the battlefield, he would not hesitate to flee.

But this is a competition, there's no escaping it.

Having exhausted all means, they were finally cornered by Li Chunfeng.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Wen Xiangzhu suddenly activated his sword heart and unleashed the sword technique of man and sword as one, transcending his level. He merged with the sword and transformed into a streak of light, piercing through layers of space with unparalleled sword-escape speed, heading straight for Li Chunfeng, determined to make a final counterattack.

Along the way, the lantern ghost clones exploded like fireworks.

"Man and sword unite!"

The sword's energy is invincible and can destroy anything.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Li Chunfeng's forehead. "They actually used the technique of 'man and sword as one.' According to the level of sword cultivation, this is an even higher level than refining a sword into silk."

Wen Xiangzhu has not yet mastered the art of "refining swords into silk," but he is already able to perform the swordsmanship technique of "man and sword as one."

"That's absolutely foul!"

Little did they know, to outsiders, it looked like two cheaters showing off their skills to each other.

Wen Xiangzhu's trump card sword strike caused ripples in space wherever it passed, even Li Chunfeng's 'spatial perception' could clearly sense them, indicating that it could penetrate even space itself.

He no longer hid in the void; with a flick of his finger, the Heavenly Capital Sword appeared.

The "Little Capital Gods and Demons Sword Formation" was completed in an instant, and the Capital Gods and Demons gathered into twelve giants of demonic energy, trapping the flowing light within them.

With a few powerful clashes, the flowing light shattered several giants of malevolent energy in succession. In terms of swordsmanship, Li Chunfeng was truly showing off his limited skills before an expert.

Fortunately, he only wanted to stop the enemy's momentum of "man and sword as one".

Seizing the opportunity, Li Chunfeng silently cast a 'Death Soul Curse Seal'. Fortunately, the Death Soul Curse Seal was still effective. Upon activating the seal, the flowing light instantly dissipated, and he was immediately surrounded by endless fireballs.

Despite being enveloped in layers of sword armor, Wen Xiangzhu managed to hold out for several breaths, charging left and right.

With a thought, Li Chunfeng unleashed a barrage of flying fists from some of the lantern ghosts, slamming him back into the air.

A flash of white light, and Wen Xiangzhu's figure disappeared.

Successfully won the first battle!
Upon returning to the scene, Li Chunfeng quickly refined the elixir to restore his soul power.

His magic is powerful, but it also consumes a great deal of energy.

A series of back-and-forth battles will ultimately test more than just combat strength.

The opposing generals are all formidable; once they entered Yuan City, they were among the top 100 on the Robbery Ranking. He couldn't guarantee that he would be able to continuously unleash his Phantom Clone Techniques at the very end.

Hu Yifei and others protected him.

On the other side, Wen Xiangzhu, pale-faced, was also quickly refining pills to recover, surrounded by his teammates. His condition was even worse; he had activated his Sword Heart early on and used the Man-Sword Unity Technique beyond his level, which had taken a heavy toll on him.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the Four Seas World team defeated the Lotus World team.

The second opponent of the Shan Hai Tian Xia team was the loser among them.

The commentator cheered loudly, "What a wonderful match! Congratulations to the Shan Hai team and the Si Hai team (abbreviated as Shan Hai). The opponents for the second round have also been determined, and everyone has half an hour to rest. Let's take a slow-motion look back at the exciting moments of the battle."

The Lotus World team is in an even worse situation, as the battle rules do not give them enough rest time.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the members of the Lotus team were clearly not back to their best condition.

Both sides were teleported into the battlefield.

Gu Yuanshan, the captain and main general of Lotus World, is a popular player, and he even has his own fan slogan.

"But the distant mountains are long, the clouds are chaotic, and the morning mountains are green! The distant mountains will never be defeated!"

Gu Yuanshan also possesses a strong sense of chivalry and the demeanor of a great hero of ancient times.

His signature move, the Dragon's Roar, astounded the world.

He cultivated the peerless martial arts technique of "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Fists" to the third level.

At crucial moments, he can unleash a powerful punch, unleashing eighteen divine dragons of qi to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

But this incredibly powerful punch was actually blocked by the Innate Indestructible Vajra Holy Body.

After encountering the "Present Tathagata Sutra," Hu Yifei's "Light Bulb Holy Body" experienced a rapid increase in strength.

Its defensive capabilities, in particular, once again exceeded people's expectations.

The Indestructible Vajra.

The eighth realm of martial arts is the Myriad Transformations Realm, also known as the "Undying Myriad Transformations Realm".

It can regenerate severed limbs and live endlessly. It is hidden deep within the universe, immortal and indestructible.

Once his innate indestructible Vajra Holy Body is perfected, it will be a defense comparable to the eighth realm. In this world, who can truly destroy his physical body?
Hu Yifei's reputation as a genius was further solidified by stepping on the prestige of Gu Yuanshan, the great hero. "Hehe, well done, Afei."

Upon seeing this, Chen Lingsu jumped for joy, even happier than Hu Yifei himself.

Hu Yifei also grinned and laughed silently.

However, after withstanding the blow, he was also exhausted, his endurance was too poor.

Fortunately, Li Chunfeng finished the game off easily, securing the victory.

The opponent in the third battle was naturally the Four Seas Under Heaven team.

Surprisingly, Sihai Tianxia also defeated Jiuzhou Tianxia, ​​whose strength was clearly superior. The two fought fiercely and were evenly matched. However, Wen Xiangzhu did not use the "Man and Sword as One" Flowing Light Sword Technique in this battle, obviously because he had not yet recovered. In the end, Sihai Tianxia took advantage of the situation and won by a small margin.

Half an hour later, Li Chunfeng and his men waited patiently for the Four Seas World team to arrive.

The sea creatures with true dragon blood are called Ananta, meaning "endless," and are associated with the endless serpent dragon in mythology.

He awakened the genetic bloodline of the Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon across generations.

Primordial Blood Spirit Dragon, Slaughter Ancestral Dragon. Its main inherited supernatural abilities are Blood Refining into Qi, Dragon Soul Transformation, Devouring Blood Realm, Blood Escape, Slaughtering Dragon Seal, Heavenly Slaughter Blood Sword, Refining God Fire, Ten Thousand Death Claw, Blood Devour, Necromancer Blood Talisman, etc.

Bloodthirsty and murderous, he's comparable to the Mosquito Taoist.

Upon seeing Ananta, Mosquito Taoist was already itching to make a move.

I wonder how much of the bloodline of the Primordial Blood Spirit Ancestral Dragon he awakened?
Among their opponents were a human sword cultivator from an overseas immortal island and three spirit race members: the River God Clan, the Golden-Winged Spirit Clan, and the Wood Void Spirit Clan.

The battle begins, and both sides are teleported into the battlefield.

This time, we're in the asteroid belt zone around the floating island. Boundless storms are sweeping the area, making it extremely unfavorable for martial artists. Crucially, this floating island itself doesn't seem very sturdy either.

"Xia Xing, Lao Hu, protect the island. This is the final battle, Ling Su, Lele, go for it."

"Yes!"

The opposing side also began to take action. Ananta took the lead and soared into the air, transforming into a dragon soul and manifesting a huge dragon soul phantom to empower himself. He then condensed the Heavenly Slaughter Blood Sword and slammed it into the floating island.

The Wood Spirit Clan waved its hands, "Come out, my spirit, it's been a long time."

A colossal wooden dragon burst from the ground, smashing the floating island and causing cracks to appear everywhere. "Go! Destroy it!"

Chen Lingsu's eyes lit up. This was the ability her Soul Refining Vine should have in the future. She summoned the Soul Refining Vine and took the initiative to confront the giant wooden dragon.

"damn it."

Hu Yifei cursed loudly. Standing on the land, he could barely stand, let alone protect the island.

He instantly transformed into a small golden Buddha, leaping forward and slashing fiercely at the true dragon bloodline. Xia Xing, swept along by Jiang Lele, headed straight for the River God Clan.

The River God Clan had just summoned a great river when it was frozen in half by the Ice Demon.

This battlefield is equally unfriendly to the River God Clan.

Li Chunfeng watched for a while, then laughed. Did he think he didn't exist?

They actually just let me do nothing.

He immediately summoned the Burning Lamp and its phantom clones.

The sea of ​​lanterns has reappeared.

Just then, the human cultivator who had been motionless suddenly tossed out a tattered piece of black sail.

The black sails grew longer in the wind, instantly blotting out the sky and enveloping the countless lantern ghosts within them.

Li Chunfeng suddenly felt the spiritual energy of heaven and earth being imprisoned. His soul sluggish for a moment, as if endless chains were binding him from all directions.

A chill ran through me; should I banish magic?

At the critical moment, a pale silver, sixteen-foot-tall spiritual body rose from his body, managing to break free slightly.

Without a second thought, he vanished into the void.

The next moment, Ran Deng let out a mournful cry, his 'phantom clone' was shattered, and he also fled into Li Chunfeng's soul.

"The plan has succeeded!"

The Four Seas Team erupted in cheers, and Hu Yifei and the others were greatly shocked.

The audience outside the venue was also in an uproar.

This kind of magic weapon, used now instead of earlier or later, is clearly reserved specifically to target Li Chunfeng.

Is the Mountain and Sea team going to lose?

Lu Yun'er, who was watching the game, was also extremely nervous, even more so than when she was playing herself.

Fortunately, the suspense didn't last long. Li Chunfeng reappeared, silently transforming into a black shadow and emerging from behind the sword cultivator.

"Watch out, Eight Serpents!"

The River God Clan shouted, and at the critical moment, they conjured a surging river to shield the human cultivator from the sudden attack.

This person's real name is Bashe. In fact, he is not a pure human cultivator, but a half-spirit and half-human hybrid.

Almost caught off guard, Bashe was startled, but then relaxed. "It's no use. Once the Guixu Sail is deployed, it doesn't matter whether I'm here or not."

"Then you should go and rest."

The Heavenly Capital Sword was drawn, and a hundred-foot-long sword aura pierced through the long river, fiercely striking out. The Eight Serpents were not to be outdone; eight venomous snake heads emerged from behind them, each head unleashing a different spell, all striking at the sword aura simultaneously.

Suddenly, an axe shadow reappeared above his head, and the phantom of a guillotine appeared, severing eight heads with a single axe stroke.

Eliminate the Eight Serpents.

With a flash of its wings, the Golden-Winged Spirit Clan threw Xia Xing off the floating island.

At the critical moment, Li Chunfeng vanished into the void and rescued him.

However, Jiang Lele was eliminated by the combined forces of the River God Clan and Ananta. After exchanging a few blows with Hu Yifei, Ananta saw through his methods, finding him strong in defense but lacking in offense.

As long as you maintain your physical defenses and prevent Hu Yifei from hitting your vital points, there's nothing to worry about.

Therefore, he could freely support his teammates. After eliminating Jiang Lele, Chen Lingsu was also in grave danger, but fortunately, Hu Yifei acted as a human shield, blocking the attacks. However, Hu Yifei was bound by the wooden dragon and was powerless to help.

Xia Xing sighed and said, "Don't worry about me, Lao Li, let's secure the victory."

Li Chunfeng nodded, abandoned Xia Xing, and instantly teleported back to the battlefield.

"Demonization!"

The phantom clone has been destroyed and won't recover so quickly.

But he wasn't banned from using magic.

"Buzz!"

The sound of wings flapping was fleeting; a tiny mosquito had vanished without a trace.

"Soul Eater!"

Behind Li Chunfeng, the enormous black shadow of the Soul-Devouring Beast emerged, like a great demon king devouring souls. With a single breath, the River God Clan screamed as their souls emerged, their bodies collapsing to the ground as if their souls had been ripped out. The Wood Spirit Clan transformed themselves into an ancient tree to resist the power of the Soul-Devouring Beast.

Ananta transformed into a streak of blood and fled.

The audience gasped in shock; a spirit's soul had actually been extracted.

What kind of magical power is this?
A flash of white light, and the River God was eliminated. If the formation spirit didn't save him, he would be gone.

"Soul Fireball!"

With a flurry of ten fingers, they unleashed a series of mid-grade Heavenly Rank Soul Fireballs, each one like a cannon, comparable to a Gatling gun, completely engulfing the Wood Void Spirit Clan.

The Golden-Winged Spirit Clan was coming to their rescue, but Li Chunfeng flicked his finger and drew his sword. The Heavenly Capital Sword traced an arc and began to fight the golden-winged figure.

"boom!"

Ananta finally crashed into the precarious floating island, and Xia Xing and Hu Yifei fell down, successfully rescuing the Wood Spirit Clan.

Chen Lingsu flicked out a vine and pulled the two of them back.

He struggled to stay afloat with his own mental energy, slowly flying through the storm before landing on a huge boulder, too exhausted to fight any longer.

"Ignore everyone else, surround and attack Li Chunfeng!" Ananta roared.

Unbeknownst to him, a six-winged Aedes mosquito with golden threads on its wings was crawling on his body, frantically sucking his blood.

With no other opponents, the group surrounded and attacked Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng raised his psychic shield and Soul-Devouring Fang Armor, fighting three opponents single-handedly, parrying, attacking, using aerial escape, and blinking with ease.

He would occasionally unleash a series of flying punches, causing Ananta to scream in agony.

The power of the bloodlust of the True Dragon bloodline has not yet been seen, but its physical defense is truly extremely strong.

Heavenly Rank Psychic Fist.

Despite being beaten like this, all that could be heard was the sound of the beating; no tears were shed.

A moment later, he suddenly unleashed a Demon-Binding Spell and a Cursed Shackles, freezing the Golden-Winged Spirit Clan in place for an instant.

Ananta screamed and unleashed a Ten Thousand Death Claw. Li Chunfeng also risked taking the blow himself, but still managed to throw out his Soul-Seizing Whip, which immediately bound the Golden-Winged Spirit Clan members that were flying around and causing trouble.

"Red Moon - Black Lightning!"

The Golden-Winged Spirit Clan was eliminated.

Li Chunfeng's defense was no match for Ananta's, but his Heavenly Rank Psychic Shield was no joke. He took a claw attack head-on and emerged unscathed.

With the aerial disturbances gone, Li Chunfeng escaped into the air.

The Wood Spirit's heart skipped a beat. "They're coming for me!"

His premonition came true; Li Chunfeng did indeed come to find him.

Then a series of even more ferocious soul fireballs ignited him again, and this time he was powerless to stop them.

A flash of white light, and he was eliminated.

Only Ananta remained. His gaze was still fierce, and his blood magic was vicious and strange. However, Li Chunfeng changed his usual behavior and only played hide-and-seek, not confronting him head-on.

After a while, Ananta finally realized something was wrong. He turned around and was so angry that he was practically fuming.

He slapped the mosquito that was clinging to his back and frantically sucking blood.

The mosquito was so addicted to sucking blood that it forgot to run away and was slapped into a bloody pulp. Countless bloody pulps turned into a swarm of black mosquitoes, scattering in all directions.

It was the "Myriad Transformations" that saved them from disaster.

Li Chunfeng secretly lamented his loss. Since he couldn't gain any advantage, he stopped trying to evade the situation and used all his methods to eliminate the exhausted Ananta.

Thus far, in the Qingyun Ranking Tournament team competition, the Shanhai Academy team has won all three matches.

They won the championship without a doubt!
