Chapter 1060 Butterflies in Time
Lord Nanchen, a powerful figure from the Human Sect who slew the treacherous demon, arrived at the crucial moment wielding the Half-Saint Yin Blade.

But if you start talking big right away, it's bound to be a little awkward!

The Demon of Calamity's long, phoenix-like eyes revealed disdain and mockery as she crossed her arms and said, "You're courting death!"

The fighting style of the demons is completely different from that of human warriors. They don't have complicated moves or dazzling special effects. They just use the same few movements and rely entirely on their physical strength to fight.

This kind of fighting style is the most unreasonable. No strategy or tactics matter. It only depends on whether you are stronger than it.

The strong would easily kill it without any doubt, while the weak would not survive even if they fought with all their might.

Despite using both seal script tools and bronze swordsmanship, the soldiers were still repeatedly defeated by this calamity.

I thought Zhou You was a savior sent from heaven, but now it seems that even the savior is a bit underwhelming and not as powerful as before.

"It's over!"

Fan Zu thought to himself that not only was he beyond saving, but he had also dragged Zhou You down with him. This was terrible.

The calamity demon had long, slender arms with sharp edges, resembling a giant pair of scissors that had closed.

Although the creatures resemble living people in appearance, they lack the structure of bones, flesh, and internal organs. They are completely integrated inside and out, and the original skin can be joints or other organs.

Their bodies are incredibly versatile, sometimes soft and sometimes sharp, making them practically divine soldiers capable of thinking and adapting to changing circumstances.

This sharp 'scissors' formed by crossed arms, while not as powerful as the Half-Saint Yin Blade, is still a divine weapon comparable to the White Cloud Spear and the Ink Guardian Sword.

Zhou You was forced to stagger backward by the strong wind, and a red line split open on his neck, a strong wound where his skin had been torn open.

As the calamity pressed closer, if he could no longer hold on, the necklace-like wound would penetrate deep into his flesh and bone, severing his neck.

"Swipe!"

Zhou You twirled the Yin Blade in his hand, unleashing over a hundred slashes in one go. Perhaps it was the sheer number of slashes that made the difference.

Although there were still many chaotic flashes of sword light, some flying horizontally, some leaping up, flying to places that were nowhere to be seen.

But some blades still rained down on the face, shoulders, and arms of the demon, which were crossed like scissors.

The clanging sounds were incessant as sparks flew from the collision of divine weapons and calamities, igniting palm-sized flames upon landing.

Sparks bloomed and died on the ground beneath Zhou You and Zai Mei's feet, the soil sizzling and flowing as it burned, and everywhere there were solidified, hardened shells of glass, which were shattered in an instant by their merciless footsteps.

Fan Zu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; this was the normal level of performance of the Half-Saint Yin Dao.

Once Zhou You got into his rhythm, his sword strikes were as swift as the wind. The semi-saintly power of Yin Dao made Zai Mei wary, and the two fought to a standstill.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Yin Blade was less effective than the Fruit Knife against the Enchantress in the Ice Cave. In reality, this divine weapon, which contains the essence of two half-saints, can easily crush any monster other than the Enchantress and the Heavenly Maiden.

Zhou You was limited by his cultivation level and could not unleash his full power, but he still had no problem dealing with a Calamity Demon.

Well, the outside world's evaluation of Lord Nanchen, Zhou Daqian, is that his overall strength surpasses that of Zhou Nanwang, and is roughly equivalent to the level of a strong earth sect. The biggest advantage he has is his semi-saint Yin Blade.

Before mastering this divine weapon, Zhou You was merely a normal prefectural lord among the fifty states under heaven. But after acquiring the Half-Saint Yin Blade, he was able to single-handedly slay treacherous demons and instantly become a rising star attracting attention from all sides.

In the eyes of many, Zhou You is essentially the wielder of this knife, who rose to fame through the Yin Knife.

The Demon of Calamity is indeed incredibly intelligent; it clearly knew this information as well, focusing its attention on the blade rather than the person. Swish! Swish! Swish!
The calamity's arms crossed and opened faster and faster, while its legs kicked out like sharp cones, piercing through the space.

Under such repeated attacks, although the Yin Blade is powerful, Zhou You, who wields it, may not be able to withstand it.

"..."

Fan Zu's eyes widened as he suddenly saw the figure of the Calamity Demon transform into a blur, using its arms and feet to restrain Yin Dao, while its torso bypassed the blade and fiercely attacked Zhou You's body, aiming at least to sever the wrists that connected him to Yin Dao.

The Calamity is not only terrifyingly powerful, but also quite cunning, knowing how to attack its weak points.

If Zhou You loses his Yin Blade after being struck, he will lose all his advantages and will certainly be no match for it; defeat and death are not far off.

A piercing whistling sound rang out as the Calamity Demon clasped its arms together, gripping the blade of the Yin Blade, and kicked the area near the hilt with both feet, causing Zhou You's tiger's mouth to crack from the impact.

It arched its back, with long, sharp spikes emerging from the gaps in its bones, and suddenly rammed into Zhou You's face.

Have you ever seen a butterfly fluttering through time?

Just as the demon thought it was about to succeed, Zhou You whispered a question in his ear.

This statement is completely absurd and leaves the listener utterly confused, feeling utterly bewildered.

Suddenly, fragmented glints of light appeared in the eyes of the Calamity Demon. They looked strangely familiar; weren't these the few slashes that had missed their mark earlier?

Yes, of course it wasn't just a few slashes, but dozens of sword lights that appeared out of nowhere, suddenly appearing in our line of sight.

The calamity demon remains still, but the moment it moves, it is struck by a relentless barrage of blades, as if those blades were waiting in place for it to crash into them.

I understand now. It wasn't that I hit the target off course; rather, there was something strange about my fist and sword techniques.

Although the Calamity Demon was surprised, he was not flustered, as the destructive power of these sword lights was not enough to kill him.

The moment the thought crossed her mind, Zai Mei's legs suddenly went weak. The shallow mark on her knees, which had just been struck by the blade, had actually resulted in a clean and decisive break in both legs.

It was filled with horror, but this was not the end, because the creature had a powerful body and an extremely strong self-healing ability. It was just a broken leg; even if its head was broken, it could still survive until the remains were pieced together and it could be resurrected.

But what happened this time shattered its common sense, the common sense of a bewitching creature.

The wound at the broken leg looked like a cut on a finger, but who would have thought it would lead to an infection and ultimately take his life?

The demon of calamity realized that its life was rapidly slipping away, and a sense of despair welled up within it. It did not understand why.
"I unleashed thousands of strikes, but only a few dozen landed on you, and only one ultimately caused your fatal wound."

As Zhou You spoke, he sighed, "Time is like a butterfly; even a brief encounter can bring so many changes. How much more so the grand scheme of things over thousands and tens of thousands of years?"

He stood beside the gradually dying corpse of the Calamity Demon, stroking the Yin Blade and sighing, his face full of melancholy.

His previous attack was using the ultimate move, "Time Butterfly." What truly worked was the brief, deflected, and wildly flying blade light. The blade light of the past caused the present calamity to be injured, and also caused the future death.

This move connects the past causes, the present occurrences, and the future outcomes.

Indeed, the flapping of a butterfly's wings in the long river of time can cause a certain event to occur in the future, as well as a series of subsequent effects and aftereffects.

After creating this move, and wielding the Half-Saint Yin Blade, he decisively killed a demon, and completely annihilated it.
