Fighting the Abomination
Fighting the Abomination
This time, he aimed for the demon's head.
The instant the Sword Aura touched the demon's head, it was cut until there was almost nothing left, and without a mouth or head, the demon was finally silenced.
However, the silence only lasted for a few moments until the demon regenerated and started screaming again.
"Then how about this!"
Yuan summoned a couple more golden swords before using them to seal the demon's mouth shut by filling its mouth with these swords.
This tactic worked wonders, as the demon was unable to remove the swords.
Once it was quiet again, Yuan returned to attacking the Abomination with his Sword Aura.
Even though his attacks did not seem to work at first, Yuan eventually noticed that the Abomination's recovery rate was beginning to lag.
Eventually, the Abomination gave up on trying to remove the golden swords and started thrashing around, and since its face was covered in golden swords, it could only blindly attack its surroundings like a broken machine.
The landscape quickly began to change with the Abomination's chaotic movements.
The Abomination's erratic movements also forced Yuan to slow down his attacks so that he doesn't get hit by its random attacks.
Wan Kaiqi eventually arrived at the scene, and when he saw that it was Yuan who had been fighting the Abomination this entire time, he was left speechless and completely shocked.
"I-Impossible… What technique did he use to cover the Abomination with those golden swords?"
Then he noticed that Yuan was attacking the Abomination with Sword Aura that had been infused with demon sealing aura.
"He can not only use Sword Aura but also infuse it with demon sealing aura?! Who is this guy?! There's no way he's just a mere Spirit Lord! He must be hiding his true cultivation! Fuck! He tricked me!"
It was at this moment that Wan Kaiqi realized the points he'd painstakingly acquired were at stake.
However, no matter how much he wanted to return to hunting demons, he was just unable to leave. There was something about Yuan fighting with the Abomination that is keeping him there.
Daoist Huan showed up a few minutes after Wan Kaiqi, and sure enough, she was just as shocked as Wan Kaiqi after she saw the situation.
"W-Who is that?" She asked Wan Kaiqi without taking her eyes off the fight.
"I don't know," he responded in a confused voice.
He was just as clueless as her.
Eventually, the Abomination began showing signs of being sealed, as one of its arms had turned into stone completely.
When he saw this, Yuan briefly stopped his attacks and began gathering spiritual energy in his sword.
After taking a deep but calm breath, Yuan released the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike on the Abomination.
Of course, this Heaven Splitting Sword Strike was infused with demon sealing aura just like his Sword Aura.
The Heaven Splitting Sword Strike easily blew a massive hole within the Abomination's body like a sharp knife cutting paper before disappearing in the horizon.
The Abomination's body immediately began working on recovering the damage, but it realized that it was unable to heal the wound just as quickly.
Its instincts told the Abomination that it was in danger, and for the first time, it gave up on destruction and focused on running away.
"I-It's running away? No way…" Wan Kaiqi was bewildered by the Abomination's actions.
The others watching were just as baffled, as they have never witnessed such a scene before.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
Yuan stopped attacking the demon and took a moment to create a massive golden sword that was almost as big as the Abomination before sending it flying at the Abomination.
BOOM!
The entire world shook as the golden sword pinned the Abomination into the ground, stopping it from running away.
The Abomination wanted to scream in pain, but since it couldn't make any noises, its body began squirming instead.
"If you stop struggling and become sealed, you won't have to endure any more pain!" Yuan shouted at the demon as he unleashed some more Sword Aura at the pinned down demon.
Eventually, the Abomination could no longer regenerate faster than it was being sealed and completely turned into stone.
Seeing that he'd finally sealed the Abomination, Yuan finally stopped attacking it and sat down to recover his spiritual energy that was almost exhausted.
The place turned dead silent after Yuan sealed the Abomination, and even the demons that had been in hiding did not dare to disturb him. Despite not being real, these demons were created to act and think like demons, so it was only natural for them to fear Yuan after witnessing his display of strength.
"H-He really did it… He sealed the Abomination…" Yan Hara muttered in a dazed voice as she stared at the Abomination's sealed frame.
Even though she had a feeling that Yuan had the potential to defeat the Abomination, she still couldn't believe it even after witnessing it happen with her own eyes.
"Shit… I really want to speak with him right now, but we are not allowed to approach them until the examination is over…" Wan Yu gritted his teeth with deep frustration.
While Yuan recovered his spiritual energy, Wan Kaiqi and Daoist Huan would just stand in place and stare at the sealed Abomination as though they were in a trance.
"This cannot be happening… I must be dreaming…" Wan Kaiqi mumbled in a low voice after many minutes of silence.
"I really wish this was just a dream, but…" Daoist Huan released a deep sigh.
She turned around and began walking away.
"Where are you going?" Wan Kaiqi asked her.
"The Abomination may have been defeated, but there are still plenty of demons to hunt," she said before disappearing from his sight.
Wan Kaiqi lingered around for a few more minutes before leaving the place as well.
However, he did not return to hunting demons. Instead, he went straight to the finish line. He knew that his defeat was inevitable, so there was no reason for him to continue farming points, as he would only be helping Yuan gather more points.
