The Ancestor of All Demons

Shi Feiyang cast a spell from the sky, remotely controlling the Black Crow Needle. This Magical Treasure suddenly exerted its power, darting towards Yue Qinyin's forehead.

Yue Qinyin knew the power of this Magical Treasure and, although he kept advising verbally, he was always on guard in his heart. Seeing it launch again, he immediately operated his sword to block it. With a clang, the Black Crow Needle struck the Immortal Sword, and sparks of green and yellow light exploded together!

"Clang clang clang clang…" The Black Crow Needle pierced out nearly a hundred times in quick succession like lightning.

Yue Qinyin, worthy of being a Sword Immortal of the Wutai Sect, rapidly rotated his thoughts and maneuvered his Flying Sword in a small space, not only blocking all attacks from the Black Crow Needle but also repelling it further and further away from himself.

Seeing that the Black Crow Needle failed to make an impact, Shi Feiyang spat out two inner cores.

Yue Qinyin saw two treasure beads, the size of bowls, one ice blue and the other flaming red, revolving around each other and plummeting down from the clouds with an intimidating force that chilled one to the bone, realizing it was extremely difficult to defend against, he hastily cast a spell to combine his body and sword into one, leaping up to escape.

The two inner cores suddenly parted, one in hot pursuit and the other intercepting. Among them, the Divine Fire Inner Core crashed onto the rapidly rising sword light with a clang, shattering the sword light, and Yue Qinyin fell back to the ground once more, even his crown knocked askew.

His Flying Sword had been refined with the help of the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor and was of much better quality than the previous two men's swords and had not been damaged. It now automatically returned to protect him, fending off the other True Water Inner Core by circling around him. The sword and bead clashed with a series of ringing sounds.

Shi Feiyang surrounded Yue Qinyin with the two inner cores, attacking in rotation without respite, and again he commanded the Black Crow Needle to turn into a streak of verdant fire, skimming along the ground and flying through the grass, nailing into Yue Qinyin's calf once again.

Yue Qinyin cried out in pain, staggering and falling. He released his True Qi desperately, struggling to maintain Sword Control in his defense.

In the midst of this intense and tightly contested battle, suddenly two streams of sword light flew from the forest on the opposite mountain peak. These sword lights were quite special: several meters long and only as thick as a thumb, with an indistinct red hue on the inside. One shot towards the clouds, a scarlet rainbow striking the sky, aiming straight for Shi Feiyang's "vital spot," while the other flew to help Yue Qinyin support the Divine Fire Inner Core.

Alongside the Sword Qi came the angry shout of a little girl, "Evil Beast, cease harming others!"

At that moment, Shi Feiyang had concealed his body within the clouds, deploying his Escape Skill to vanish from sight, rendering even a direct disciple of the Wutai Sect like Yue Qinyin unable to see him. The arrival who saw through him at a glance gave him a shock, realizing that a formidable expert had come.

He did not dare to be negligent and spewed out the White Light Sword to meet the oncoming red light, the two swords clashing with several rapid exchanges. The opponent uttered a surprised "Eh," seemingly not expecting that a dragon could wield such a sharp sword stance.

Shi Feiyang was also taken aback. The opponent's red sword light had no physical substance; it was not a genuine Daoist Immortal Sword but two streams of Sword Qi condensed with extremely sophisticated Spellcasting!

Ordinary Sword Immortals could condense Sword Qi that cut through iron like mud, split mountains, and shattered rocks, but Sword Qi would dissipate quickly and not remain condensed. However, the Sword Qi before him remained solid without scattering, as miraculous as a true Daoist Immortal Sword, flying up and down, its momentum like a rainbow.

Shi Feiyang felt a great sense of foreboding. In an instant, a very bad premonition rose in his heart. Following that, he saw two people flying from behind the opposite mountain peak—two identical little girls, delicately beautiful as porcelain dolls, each controlling a stream of Sword Qi with one hand and expressions of anger on their little faces.

Seeing the twin sisters, Shi Feiyang's heart skipped a beat, and he knew he had encountered a tough opponent.

The two maidens of Immortal City!

These two girls were named Xie Ying and Xie Lin. Among the younger generation of the Orthodox Sect, including those at Shu Mountain, many were unpleasant, and these sisters were some of the most notable for being arrogant and willful, relying on their elders to do as they pleased.

"You beast, stop right now!" The girl on the right scolded sharply, throwing her hand out and releasing a luminescent hook-shaped glow that stretched dozens of feet, flying over at an angle. It didn't seem fast, but it was in front of Shi Feiyang in an instant.

Shi Feiyang saw that this thing was even more dangerous than the sword Qi and quickly called his True Water Inner Core back to defend himself, while asking, "Are you two Xie Ying and Xie Lin?"

The girl who launched the Flying Hook was surprised but also somewhat proud, "You beast, you actually know of our sisters' great names? That's right, I am Xie Lin, and this is my elder sister, Xie Ying."

Shi Feiyang was insulted and, holding back his anger, he thought better than to stoop to the level of children, "That Taoist down there is Yue Qinyin from the Wutai Sect. He has captured many innocent children to absorb their Life Souls for the refinement of a Demon Sword. And you are helping him against me? Hasn't your godmother Cui Wu told you what the Wutai Sect is all about?"

Xie Lin furiously said, "You ugly creature, how dare you call out my godmother's full name! You're asking for death!"

She didn't care about what Shi Feiyang was saying; just hearing the name Cui Wu made her furious. She formed a spell with her two hands, driving both the Xin Metal Sword Qi and the Green Centipede Divine Hook to attack fiercely. Then, rubbing her hands together, she released hundreds of clusters of golden Mars, which were Pure Yang True Fire refined from the Daoist Taiyin Xuan Du Zheng Method, flying straight towards Shi Feiyang.

This Pure Yang True Fire, origin of the Mysterious Sect, was designed to subdue all demonry and evil. If it had been the two inner cores originally refined by the Black Dragon, they would not have been able to resist it. Fortunately, within Shi Feiyang's True Water Inner Core True Yin had already formed. He moved his inner core around in front, creating a large expanse of True Water Cloud Mist. The Pure Fire flew into the mist, crackling wildly, but soon extinguished.

He called back his True Water Inner Core to protect himself, and as his Divine Fire Inner Core was held up by the Xin Metal Sword Qi of Xie Ying, Yue Qinyin, catching a breath, sought to escape, once again combining body and sword, shooting up into the sky.

Shi Feiyang released his White Light Sword, slashing diagonally to intercept. Xie Ying and Xie Lin both shouted angrily as they struck out, with two streams of Xin Metal Sword Qi, two Green Centipede Divine Hooks, two rapidly spinning inner cores, one White Light Sword, plus Yue Qinyin's Flying Sword, all three parties in the mix, colliding with each other, sparking off a sky full of Star Fires that were red, white, green, and black, intertwining with each other in a sight extremely beautiful but equally perilous.

Ultimately, Yue Qinyin couldn't escape and was bombed back by the Divine Fire Inner Core, landing on the ground in a terribly disheveled state, even his hair catching on fire.

Shi Feiyang thought, although the two maidens of Immortal City were barbaric in their actions and ruthless in their strikes, they still belonged to the disciples of the Orthodox Sect. As long as he made things clear to them, they would no longer protect Yue Qinyin. In fact, they might even beat him to the punch and take down Yue Qinyin themselves.

He withdrew his inner core and defended without attacking, speaking again, "This man is the Evil Path Yue Qinyin of the Wutai Sect. Over there in the woods, he's killed more than a dozen children to absorb their Life Souls for the refinement of a Demon Sword. I know you are the daughters of Xie Shan; he must have taught you to distinguish between right and wrong. You wouldn't possibly side with a demon to commit horrific deeds, would you?"

Xie Ying, upon hearing this, seemed somewhat swayed and sharply asked Yue Qinyin, "Is it true as he says?"

Yue Qinyin reacted extremely quickly, immediately putting on an exasperated look of hitting his chest in regret, "I am the cultivator Yue Qinyin from Heng Mountain. Have you heard of Heng Mountain? By the shores of Dongting Lake, above there is the Golden Granny Luo Ziyuan, and also one of the elder twins of Song Mountain, Bai Guyi. We usually get along very well and refer to each other as Daoist friends. Are you perhaps the precious daughters of Daoist Cui, our cherished Bai Wutong Fairy? It's been so many years since I last saw her; she now has two daughters as treasured as immortal roots and jade bones!"
