Chapter 1313: A Line Falls Between Heaven and Earth

As this demon blood had the potential to awaken, Jiang Wang could not grant it much time.Warriors of differing tiers utilize the same power with vastly different efficacy, as demonstrated by the black-robed demon in the ancient demon den within Mount Yu'erdu, a lesson Jiang Wang took to heart.

Just as Jiang Wang prepared to depart, he heard Yu Beidou say, "Wait, take this with you."A vibrant, multicolored kasaya floated down before Jiang Wang, who caught it with one hand.The fabric felt coarse to the touch, yet holding it instilled a profound sense of tranquility.However, it felt utterly discordant for the renowned physiognomist Yu Beidou to produce a Buddhist kasaya.Jiang Wang paused, asking, "This is?"Yu Beidou's gaze remained fixed on the embroidered-robed elder on the ground, his eyes unmoving. "After you annihilate that mass of demon blood, wrap it with this Demon Subjugation Kasaya. Then bury it at the 'Abhorrence Point' within the Disorderly Stone Valley. Your coin knife will guide you there when the time comes."

So this peculiar stone valley had a name, Disorderly Stone Valley, which was quite fitting."Demon Subjugation Kasaya?" Jiang Wang inquired.Yu Beidou explained, "This Disorderly Stone Valley is a natural formation array. I temporarily halted its function upon entry, so you did not perceive it. 'Abhorrence' signifies 'suppression.' The 'Abhorrence Point' is the core location that suppresses the power of the Disorderly Stone Valley. The blood demon can shed demon blood to save itself, and conversely, I can use that mass of demon blood to consume its body, accelerating its destruction. To achieve this, the Abhorrence Point and the Demon Subjugation Kasaya are indispensable.""I was asking..." Jiang Wang said slowly, "Are you not a physiognomist? How is it that you produce a kasaya?"Yu Beidou was unable to turn his head to face him, but his tone carried a hint of disdain. "Be grateful for what you have; young people should not be so particular. What is wrong with a kasaya? As long as it is effective, even a bellyband could be used! When I was young, the times were so arduous, one coin had to be spent as two... Speaking of which, could you perhaps offer me a discount?... Eh, why are you leaving? So rude!"

Jiang Wang had no mind to listen to his reminiscences of past hardships. Gripping his sword, he strode out of the cavern, the coin knife dutifully leading the way.In this valley filled with strange stones, Jiang Wang traversed through the air, avoiding contact with the peculiar rocks lest he disturb the bothersome formation. The stream of blood still snaked along, its scale upon the blood demon's complete annihilation unknown.In short order, man and coin knife emerged from the Disorderly Stone Valley.Before them lay a sliver of sky, its end out of sight. The constricted Soulsevering Gorge seemed to imprison heaven and earth within its confines.Within it, man was merely a captive.The Qingyun mark beneath his feet continuously appeared and vanished, and Jiang Wang abruptly accelerated.Within this gorge, he seemed to transform into a streak of green lightning, piercing through the hollow mists, vanishing in an instant.As he accelerated, the Qi coin knife also accelerated.Though unseen at present, Jiang Wang was certain that the faint thread still connected them, allowing for this perfect accord.What could a mass of demon blood transform into?Where did the so-called "source of the blood demon" and the "awakening" point?Why did the demon blood shed by the blood demon flee towards the depths of the Soulsevering Gorge? Was it merely to delay for the sake of awakening?What lay in the depths of the Soulsevering Gorge?The whistling wind offered no answer.But in his swift flight, a sudden sense of alert arose within Jiang Wang.A sharp wind assailed him!A guan dao met him head-on, slashing directly at the Qi coin knife ahead.From the state of Zhao all the way to this Soulsevering Gorge, this was the first time someone had seen this coin knife and attempted to attack it... This was a form of extremely high-level insight, yet it failed to sever the coin knife.The guan dao fell, the coin knife was struck and sent flying, only to immediately fly back, flipping continuously in the air, indicating the target had been found!And a large hand, its veins bulging, reached out and gripped the handle of the guan dao.Suddenly appearing from the adjacent cliff face was a robust man clad in bright armor, possessing a dignified and imposing appearance.Had it not been for the warning from the coin knife brought by Yu Beidou, it would be impossible to discern that he was merely a mass of demon blood shed by the blood demon.The instant he grasped the guan dao's handle, the weapon seemed to come alive, incredibly agile. With a mere tremor against the wind, it was already upon him, splitting the air.This strike was like a dragon emerging from the sea, stirring wind and waves.It directly cleaved the air, the terrifying qi waves crashing against the cliffs on either side, emitting violent impacts.And the man himself remained silent.His eyes were cold, only the purest killing intent surged within them.This was not like a person, but rather a killing puppet!Jiang Wang advanced instead of retreating, Long Xiangsi already unsheathed.Ten years of adversity, life and death, a debt of vengeance.A line descended between heaven and earth, and then another line opened.The vertically cleaving guan dao and the horizontally slashing Long Xiangsi collided, sparks flying from the blades.The guan dao trembled, its edge moving in a rapid and short tremor, tracing a "Z" shape in the air, easily dissecting the sword势 as if a butcher dismantling an ox.Jiang Wang's long sword returned, instantly bursting forth with silver light, forming a circle with a single sword stroke.The silvery-white sword circle constructed a temporary fortress.Mid-air, the man in bright armor merely retracted his guan dao and thrust.The massive, fierce guan dao was wielded by him as if it were a dagger.Extremely agile.The tip of the blade accurately struck the center of the silvery-white sword circle.With only that faint collision sound.The sword circle already dispersed.Jiang Wang slightly tilted his head, a wisp of blade light grazed his left cheek, tearing through the air.Though the sword circle had dissolved and the sword light scattered, within the "defeated and scattered soldiers," the body of Long Xiangsi alone shouldered the heavy responsibility, facing the opponent directly.It was like a bright moon rising, illuminating the long night for those sleepless, precisely the refined Xiangsi sword form.The sword's bright moon reached directly towards the opponent's face.The eyes of the man clad in bright armor showed not a trace of fluctuation. He simply pushed the blade handle lightly, and the guan dao fell diagonally, cleaving the bright moon directly, and shattering it!From the very beginning until now, Jiang Wang had not felt any overwhelmingly powerful force from his opponent, entirely consistent with Yu Beidou's statement of being "within the Inner Palace realm."However, his blade edge flowed like a swimming dragon and a dancing phoenix, ethereal and unpredictable, like unrestrained brushstrokes,瀟灑 and natural. It always found the most appropriate trajectory to "dissect" the sword forms.It was disintegration rather than confrontation.Skill approaching the Dao!Jiang Wang believed his own swordsmanship skills were already nearing the apex of this realm, not far behind Qin Zhizhen, and in the Vast Illusory Realm, he had victories and losses against the exceptionally skilled swordsman Ning.But before this man in bright armor, his swordsmanship seemed to hold no secrets at all. Like a person who was originally whole, he was "dismembered" upon the very first encounter.This could not but be alarming!Was this the "combat instinct that will gradually awaken" that Yu Beidou had warned about?And it was still just instinct?Despite his alarm, Jiang Wang was fearless, and not at all disheartened. Stepping on the Qingyun mark, he retreated rapidly... and then advanced again!As he retreated, he had already begun to knock upon the five palaces.As he advanced again, five brilliant light sources within his body illuminated one after another, instantly causing the five palaces to shine together!The light of the five divine abilities radiated from his body, flowing into his long sword.In that instant, he was dazzling beyond direct sight, his body radiating brilliant light, facing his opponent directly, a single sword strike descending like a collapsing mountain!Reproducing that timeless apex sword strike from the View River Platform.Yet stronger than that day!If he could not defeat with combat techniques, then he would break skill with force.Within the Inner Palace realm, the Celestial Palace was undoubtedly the highest peak.And Jiang Wang, was upon this peak.
