Chapter 146: Slicing the Demon God – The Virtuous Prevail, the Wicked Perish

Blue Shadow had watched his sister grow up since childhood. Though he had endured her stubbornness and willfulness many times, he would never allow anyone to bully her. This was one of the reasons why everyone in the Netherworld loved Blue Blade. Yet this brat before him, who had no idea how high the sky or how thick the earth was, dared to insult his sister—how could he tolerate such behavior?

Su Shao, upon seeing this, threw Blue Blade’s dagger aside and said, “Oh… You’re really despicable. Just now you were acting like brothers, but now you turn on me. People like you are the most treacherous. Good thing you’re not my friend. It seems the world is truly fair—what kind of brother you have, that’s the kind of sister you get…”

Blue Shadow wasn’t angry; instead, he smiled again. Yet anyone could see from that smile that he was furious. At that moment, the demonic energy in the sky grew denser, and the sword hanging at Blue Shadow’s side emitted red light, as if it were the Death God itself…

Su Shao, though foolish, wasn’t blind to the changes around him. For a moment, he felt like he was about to die—everything around him seemed determined to take his life. He thought to himself, “This guy seems really strong. Are you sure you can beat him?”

The Nine Nether Demon God replied, “If we can’t defeat him, we’ll be reduced to ashes. The demonic energy around him is even stronger than that of the Demon World’s lord. It seems I’ve been buried for too long. There are such skilled warriors in the world, yet I didn’t even know about them.”

Su Shao impatiently said, “Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me if you can beat him or not.”

The Nine Nether Demon God replied, “If I can’t even defeat him, how can I call myself the God of Destruction?”

Su Shao seemed a bit more confident. He thought, “It’s the same whether I strike horizontally or vertically. Life and death are predestined. Damn it, if I’m afraid of this kid, I’m not the young master of the Su family.”

Su Shao looked at Blue Shadow and said, “So you’re that girl’s invincible brother, huh? You seem pretty strong. Are you planning to slice me too?”

Blue Shadow nodded and smiled. “Show me your best skill. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” With that, he moved—grasping the sword hilt tightly, spinning around on the ground, and instantly appearing above Su Shao’s head. Then, under the red sword light, a huge white blade descended fiercely, mixed with wind and thunder, extremely violent…

At that moment, Su Shao’s hands turned black up to his shoulders. Raising his right hand into a claw shape, he instantly sucked the ‘Mysterious Rock’ sword embedded in the ground into his hand. As soon as it entered his hand, the gray sword body glowed blood-red under the control of the Nine Nether Demon God. By then, Su Shao’s soul no longer controlled his body; he could only watch as a bystander, waiting to see if his life would end…

With the sword in hand, the Nine Nether Demon God truly became a demon god with the power to destroy the world. Now that Su Shao had completely handed over his body, the demon god could better control the sword’s intent and grow even stronger…

Ten zhang around Su Shao’s body, sudden pitiful screams were heard. As those screams faded, countless undead rose from the ground in the form of translucent skeletons, instantly surrounding Su Shao’s body. They swirled upward, emitting green poisonous miasma, quickly isolating Lan Ying’s dense demonic energy…

As more and more skeletal undead emerged from the ground, red clouds began to gather in the sky. Those clouds rolled in swiftly and, in just an instant, formed a contrast with the black demonic energy above Lan Ying’s head, sending lightning bolts everywhere…

At that moment, Li Ling blurted out, “Is that… the Nine Nether Demon God?”

There was no time to continue speaking. By then, Tian Dao, carrying the force of wind and thunder, had already descended from over ten zhang away. Su Shao quickly grasped his sword with both hands and raised it above his head…

With a clang, the sound of weapons colliding followed by a soft “puf” sound. It was very quiet, but Su Shao had managed to block Tian Dao’s attack…

However, due to the immense force of Tian Dao, although he blocked the attack, Su Shao’s body was pushed more than a meter deep into the ground. Li Ling felt a chill in his heart and couldn’t help but admire how fierce Lan Ying’s sword was. Yet, he also admired Su Shao even more—being able to block that sword with just a single sword under normal circumstances showed that his true energy was incredibly powerful… If it had been him taking that strike, he would likely have been killed along with his sword.

Just as Lan Ying prepared to deliver a second strike, Su Shao moved first. His entire body twisted in a spiral as he instantly leaped out of the ground. But he didn’t stop there—he flew three zhang into the air, grasped his sword, his eyes flashing red as he swung it fiercely…

That beam of light reached straight to the heavens above and deep into the earth below. With a perfect arc, it struck at Lan Ying. The air was torn apart, and the ground was also marked by its passage…

Lan Ying wasn’t afraid. He held his long sword horizontally and used his supreme true energy to unleash his most powerful move—“Traceless Long Sword.” As the sword was held horizontally, it emitted a dazzling dark gray light. The surrounding demonic energy gathered around Lan Ying, and a hurricane blew his robe. At that moment, Lan Ying rotated 360 degrees with the front as the axis. Then, under the power of the sword, a black crescent-shaped beam of light tore through space, mixed with purple lightning, and rushed head-on against that light that connected heaven and earth and those countless skeletal undead…

The two beams of light crossed in a “+” shape, but no sound was made. The only oddity was that as they crossed, white light radiated out from the center of the “+” shape in parallel spaces…

Everyone couldn’t open their eyes, including Su Shao and Lan Ying…

It was in an instant—everyone lost their vision for that moment. But soon, the blinding light disappeared, and everyone looked toward the center of the field…

Looking at Lan Ying, her long sword was upright, her hand gripping the hilt as she breathed heavily. She was staring at the ground, where there were traces of being forcibly pushed back—at least twenty feet away. She turned her gaze toward Su Shao, whose surroundings were still filled with countless undead spirits. His arms remained black; the only difference was his eyes, no longer showing innocence, but instead filled with a desire for slaughter. He had no expression or movement, as if he didn’t exist at all…
Lan Ren was a shrewd girl. In her eyes, her brother’s swordsmanship had always been invincible—even after he saw Liu Yi’s magic sword, he still held that belief. But now, the truth was clear: if her brother continued to fight this thug, he would likely be killed…
The winner had already been determined within just two moves!
