My Disciples Are All Villains Chapter 381 - The Sword Devil

Chapter 381: The Sword Devil

The sudden appearance of the tentacles took Ye Tianxian by surprise. She tried to block the incoming tentacles with her wave-like energy.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The tentacles slammed against Ye Tianxin’s energy wall violently.
Yu Shangrong shot toward Ye Tianxin with his sword in hand at lightning speed. “I slay Fiend Zen cultivators for breakfast!”
Bzzt!
A fan-shaped energy shot out from the Longevity Sword. Yu Shangrong wielded the Longevity Sword with both hands and swung it downward. At this moment, the terrifying power of the Longevity Sword seemed to be fully displayed. The energy seemed to cut off the black Golden Lotus avatar.
Bam!
The avatar cracked.
Kong Yuan’s eyes widened. His palms remained joined together when he saw the black avatar being cut open. The impact of that attack sent him reeling back. The rope that was tied around him snapped at this moment. He continued to fly backward.
Yu Shangrong did not even deign to spare a glance at Kong Yuan. He knew Kong Yuan was just a corpse, a puppet that was being controlled. He looked at Ye Tianxin behind him who was currently being attacked by the tentacles and said, “Junior Sister, defend with your Golden Lotus.”
“Oh.”
Yu Shangrong’s eyes gleamed at this moment. He began to fly out at blinding speed toward Zhang Yuanshan.
Meanwhile, Ye Tianxin’s avatar had retreated. Her Golden Lotus bloomed and kept the tentacles at bay.
In front of Zhang Yuanshan, there were many tentacles. They were like a thicket of vines that kept whipping at the air. The tentacles were shrouded in purple energy.
When Zhang Yuanshan saw that Kong Yuan was sent flying, he instinctively looked up at Yu Shangrong, the Sword Devil.
Yu Shangrong had his back toward the gray sky and he was charging toward Zhang Yuanshan in the air at a 45-degree angle. With every step he took, a ripple would appear under his feet. The golden ripples seemed to distort space itself. As he continued to move, his body seemed to turn blurry. In fact, everything in the surroundings seemed out of focus. It was as though everything was submerged in water. It lent a surreal quality to the surroundings.
This was the sword skill Yu Shangrong was famous for; the Return and Enter Three Souls! The three souls referred to the first sword, the origin radiance, which was the Qi of great purity and the sun. The second soul is the majestic spirit, the transformation of Yin Qi. The third soul is the nether essence, the impurities of Yin Qi. Everyone who cultivated possessed three souls. The origin radiance is the nascent divinity. This was where the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm derived its name from.
The Return and Enter Three Souls. Three swords and three paths attacked at the same time. The three swords merged as one to sever the three souls, thereby, obliterating the target’s body and soul.
Yu Shangrong did not merely have three figures. His clones seemed to possess avatars of their own as well. Three Golden Lotuses descended from the sky.
This scene far exceeded Zhang Yuanshan’s expectations. His eyes widened in horror as he watched the three clones merged into one.”Ba Ma! Help! Me!”
A deep voice rang in Zhang Yuanshan’s ears. “I’ve told you that you only have two to three chances… This third chance will cost you your life!”
“You–”
Silence descended on the entire place at this moment.
Zhang Yuanshan wanted to pull on the rope and defend himself with Kong Yuan’s corpse. Unfortunately, Kong Yuan was long gone. He laughed maniacally upon discovering this. “Forget it, forget it!”
At this moment, the Longevity Sword pierced Zhang Yuanshan’s body. His body trembled violently as he continued to laugh maniacally. It felt as though his soul had been pierced as well. However, he did not stop laughing. The sound of his laughter traveled far all the way to the green jade altar.
Currently, the battle could no longer be seen from the green jade altar. All that could be heard was this maniacal laughter.
Upon hearing this, the Nether Sect’s disciples shivered in fear. After a moment, they heard a shout from afar.
“I’ve been a coward all my life… Today, I, Zhang Yuanshan, will embrace death like an old friend!” Zhang Yuanshan was in the center as his energy spilled into the surroundings. The tentacles whipped around even more violently. This was his true third chance. The ultimate move that Ba Ma had planted in him.
“Sacrificial offering,” a peculiar voice said.
Zhang Yuanshan shouted, “Even if I have to die, I’ll drag you along with me!”
Once the sacrificial offering was completed, the tentacles shot toward Yu Shangrong and Ye Tianxin in a frenzy. The entire place seemed to be filled with tentacles.
Ye Tianxian had already retreated far away as she repelled the tentacles.
Meanwhile, Yu Shangrong was still at the center of the fight. When he saw the tentacles that seemed to come at him from all directions, he swung his sword fiercely. His sword moved like the wind and merely left vague shadows in its wake as his slashes rained down like a storm. There were no energy blades. The red shining blade was all that could be seen moving back and forth. A spherical energy formed around him at this moment.
Yu Shangrong’s expression darkened. For some reason, the scene of his master training him in sword skills surfaced in his mind… He was told to practice his swordplay under the trees in autumn, and he had to slash at all the falling leaves. During summer, he would be training under the rain and would have to remain dry. In the winter, he was told to train under the snow, and he had to dodge all the snowflakes… He lost count of the number of wooden swords he broke in the process… He would receive a good beating whenever he broke a sword. His master said that a true sword path elite would love his own sword and would never allow his sword to be easily destroyed. It was only when he managed to keep his wooden sword intact that his master granted him the Longevity Sword.
The Longevity Sword bore the blessings of a long life. This was the best gift for the inhabitants of the Nobleman Country who had short life spans.
This sword was everything to Yu Shangrong. He had become one with his sword.
“If you want to kill your opponent, just swing your sword forcefully.” Lu Zhou’s advice appeared in Yu Shangrong’s mind, and he swung his sword at a greater speed.
The tentacles that approached were all cut, and the purple energy was kept at bay by the sword shadows.
From afar, Ye Tianxin was dumbstruck when she witnessed this scene. She knew that her Second Senior Brother was powerful, but she did not expect him to be so powerful to this extent. Then, she looked at the purple energy that permeated the air and the tentacles lashing around before she tossed her Amorous Hoop out.
The Amorous Hoop plunged into the sea of tentacles and released a burst of energy.
The Blue Waves Technique slowed the advances of the tendrils.
At this moment, Ye Tianxin shouted, “Second Senior Brother.”
Yu Shangrong made a noise of acknowledgment. His 100-foot avatar shot toward the horizon as it increased in size. Energy blades spread out like the petals of a lotus in the air.
Boom!
The tentacles were severed by the countless energy blades.
At the same time, the Golden Lotus under Yu Shangrong’s avatar kept the tentacles at bay like lotus leaves. With the Golden Lotus in the center, the Longevity Sword flew out and continued cutting the tentacles.
With a casual glance, it looked like a vortex had appeared.
The energy of the tentacles seemed to be immediately reduced by a huge margin.
Ye Tianxin felt the pressure around her lift at once. She recalled her avatar, somersaulted in the air before she looked at the scene before her incredulously. ‘Is this the Sword Devil?’
Yu Shangrong did not hold back as he wielded and swung his sword. The rapid expansion of his avatar, coupled with the movements of his sword that seemed to form a vortex kept the tentacles at bay.
Gradually, the tentacles began to dwindle and fall in numbers.
Everything was silent again.
Yu Shangrong stood within his avatar. He extended his arms as he tried to control his avatar. The Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar required too much energy to maintain. It was rare for a cultivator to maintain a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar for such a long time.
Ye Tianxin was still in shock.
After a long while, the purple energy finally vanished.
Zhang Yuanshan’s body was nowhere to be seen.
Yu Shangrong pulled his arms back and fisted his hands. His avatar vanished.
The massive Golden Lotus paused slightly.
Yu Shangrong looked at the Golden Lotus. The eight golden and shining lotus leaves spun at a uniform speed. There was a faint sheen of purple on the lotus leaves. With an unbothered expression on his face, he moved his hands, and his dantian’s sea of Qi surged. “Close.”
The Golden Lotus vanished.
Yu Shangrong hovered in midair as he surveyed the land beneath him with a thoughtful expression on his face.
