Chapter 6: The Ten Demon Soldiers

On the sixth day of his stay at the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Bo had expected the Xingxiu Sect to arrive.

But what came to the Quanzhen Sect was not the Xingxiu Sect, but a man who seemed unhinged.

That day, while he was eating lunch, a young Daoist priest burst into Wang Bo's room, panting, and shouted, "Layman, it's bad! Layman, someone... someone has broken in."

Wang Bo was taken aback and said, "Ding Chunqiu is here."

"It's not Ding Chunqiu; it's a man with a dragon tattoo on his face," said the panting young Daoist.

"A dragon tattoo on his face?"

Wang Bo was quite surprised. A faint glimmer flickered in his eyes, effortlessly penetrating the mountain gate, walls, and other structures, and he saw the scene before the main hall of the Quanzhen Sect.

A group of sword-wielding Daoists, their expressions stern, stepped on the Seven Stars pattern, circling around a man in constant motion.

These Daoists were all masters of the Quanzhen Sect, having trained diligently for decades. Their coordination was seamless and flawless. As they swung their swords, it was like a torrential downpour, covering all the vital points of the man.

What surprised Wang Bo even more was that the man, though young, had an extraordinary demeanor. Facing the encirclement of the Daoists, he remained unhurried, wielding a saber and a sword, effortlessly blocking their attacks.

In his left hand, he held a saber—narrow and long, its patterns resembling the blood vessels of a human body. The hilt bore a twisted, agonized, and hollow face design, and the guard was elongated, like a handle.

This saber was eerily strange, clearly no ordinary weapon.

In his right hand, he held a sword—slender and long, with six gems embedded in the guard, marked with the twelve two-hour periods on the front and back. The sharp blade was also divided into twelve segments, extremely sharp.

It was also a peerless sword.

But what surprised Wang Bo was that he seemed to have seen these two weapons somewhere before.

At the same time, Wang Bo looked at the man's face and saw a ferocious dragon tattooed on it, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't a dragon at all—it was a serpent-shaped tattoo.

This appearance reminded Wang Bo of someone.

The top expert of the Divine Weapon Mystique world... the Celestial Thearch of Darkness!

Wang Bo looked again and again, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this man was indeed the Celestial Thearch of Darkness from the Divine Weapon Mystique world, that unparalleled genius.

The Celestial Thearch of Darkness, originally named Dugu Xingye, was infected by a wisp of demonic qi from the Primordial Demon. Because at birth, the Wooden Grandmother, leader of the Mystic Gate under the Divine Dao Alliance, replaced his demonic eye with the eye of his own child, he did not become demonized before his coming-of-age ceremony.

Later, the leader of the Snow Gate, influenced by the fire soul within the Emperor's Hatred, severely wounded Dugu Xingye, causing him to lose his sight, and thus the demonic eye was reborn. During his coming-of-age ceremony, Dugu Xingye was deceived by the Demon's illusion and mistakenly killed his parents and elder brother.

Subsequently, the demonic qi of the Demon controlled Dugu Xingye's mind, turning him into the Celestial Thearch of Darkness, who then destroyed the Divine Dao Alliance and founded the Evil Dao Alliance.

Fourteen years later, the Celestial Thearch of Darkness was sealed by the Ghost Valley Sect—its leader, the Ghost Valley Master, using a unique formation. Before death, his primordial spirit separated, allowing Dugu Xingye to regain control of his body.

But it was only a hundred years later that he regained freedom, and until his death, he still called himself the Celestial Thearch of Darkness.

Wang Bo hadn't expected that the transmigrator of this world would be the Celestial Thearch of Darkness, and that the other party would appear so boldly before him.

Hmm, it seemed his luck was pretty good.

Having recognized the Celestial Thearch of Darkness, Wang Bo also recalled the two weapons in his hands.

The saber in his left hand was undoubtedly one of the Ten Demon Soldiers—Guilt and Madness!

The sword in the Celestial Thearch of Darkness's right hand was also one of the Ten Demon Soldiers—Stellar Calamity!

Both demon soldiers had their own origins and were not to be underestimated.

In the Divine Weapon Mystique world, there were ten divine weapons, each associated with a deity. For example, one of the ten divine weapons, Tian Jing, was forged by the great goddess Nuwa.

Another of the ten divine weapons, Tai Xu, was the weapon of the Yellow Emperor, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Besides these ten divine weapons, the Divine Weapon Mystique world also had ten corresponding demon soldiers.

These ten demon soldiers were created when the Primordial Demon, before being sealed, spat out his essence, forming ten demonic pearls. When these pearls encountered intense negative emotions, they would combine to form weapons with special abilities.

It was truly miraculous.

From this, one could see the power of the Primordial Demon; at least Wang Bo himself could not achieve such a feat.

The ability of Guilt and Madness: by gripping the sword guard and striking downward with the hilt, it released a ghostly demonic mist that formed a huge ghostly face in the sky, amplifying and losing control of the deepest emotional weaknesses of the target, causing sensory disorders, auditory and visual confusion, and fighting to the death with illusions.

The ability of Stellar Calamity was to control the flow of time within three feet around its wielder, either speeding it up or slowing it down.

When Stellar Calamity first appeared, the Celestial Thearch of Darkness used this weapon to kill a powerful enemy at that time.

Thus, one could see the terror of these two demon soldiers.

But now, the Celestial Thearch of Darkness did not seem to intend to use the abilities of the two demon soldiers to counter the Quanzhen Sect's sword formation.

Outside the main hall of the Quanzhen Sect, the Daoists set up the Seven Stars Sword Formation and repeatedly attacked the Celestial Thearch of Darkness, but he effortlessly neutralized their attacks.

The Seven Stars Sword Formation turned again and again, displaying all its variations to the fullest, yet still could not overcome the Celestial Thearch of Darkness.

This made the Daoists in the formation tremble with fear.

On the other hand, after glimpsing all the changes of the Seven Stars Sword Formation, the Celestial Thearch of Darkness laughed heartily and said, "The famed Seven Stars Sword Formation of the Quanzhen Sect is nothing more than this. Now, take a move from me."

In an instant, the Celestial Thearch of Darkness raised his true qi. The demon soldiers in his hands swung left and right, interweaving like a thousand blades unleashed, with endless numbers and momentum—one slash followed by another, ten slashes followed by ten more, penetrating the enemy's defense like quicksilver, and with the slightest negligence, one would be subjected to a thousand slashes stripping the bones!

The Celestial Thearch of Darkness was unmatched in talent. Wielding a saber and a sword, he created his own saber and sword techniques: the Three Saber Techniques, the Three Sword Techniques, and the combined Saber and Sword Techniques, totaling nine ultimate moves.

This move was one of the Celestial Thearch of Darkness's Three Saber Techniques.

Endless Thousand Sabers!

Wang Bo saw very clearly that the Celestial Thearch of Darkness was not slashing randomly; each strike precisely targeted the moment when the formation changed, causing the Seven Stars Sword Formation to become sluggish and turn extremely slowly.

The Daoists in the formation felt that the once ever-changing sword formation was now difficult to sustain, and no matter how they moved, it became very awkward.

At the same time, the Celestial Thearch of Darkness, carrying the momentum of Endless Thousand Sabers, had saber light like quicksilver, penetrating every gap, and in an instant, he separated the Daoists in the formation.

Once the crowd scattered, the formation naturally ceased to exist, and thus it was broken by the Celestial Thearch of Darkness.

With the formation broken, given their strength, they were naturally no match for the Celestial Thearch of Darkness. With a momentum that could swallow rivers and seas, he struck each Daoist with one saber blow, sending them all flying.

For a moment, the Daoists of the Quanzhen Sect looked ashen.

Even the Quanzhen Sect's mountain-guarding sword formation had been effortlessly broken by the opponent; among those present, who could still be his match?
