Chapter 154 Terrifying Beyond Measure
Right at this moment, Jiang Xiaofei, who had remained silent all this time, took a step forward. His gaze narrowed, sharp as an absolute monarch looking down upon the world, and his voice rang out coldly: "What is a mere tower? Nothing extraordinary. Since you use it as your protective umbrella, this king shall shatter it!"
"What? He wants to destroy the Demon-Suppressing Tower?"
"Is he out of his mind?"
As Jiang Xiaofei's words echoed through the air, everyone was deeply moved.
Yet, in their eyes, how could this possibly be?
After all, the Demon-Suppressing Tower was a divine artifact; even deities might not necessarily be able to destroy it, let alone Jiang Xiaofei, who was merely a mortal.
At this moment, Xiaoyaozi was also somewhat shocked. Logically speaking, Jiang Xiaofei should have been filled with dread at the power of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.
Yet Jiang Xiaofei actually intended to destroy the tower. Did he truly possess the strength, or was he merely putting on a bluff?
Immediately, his gaze turned icy, and he shouted sternly, "With just your capabilities, you wish to destroy the Demon-Suppressing Tower? That is sheer delusion!"
"Then this king shall shatter it right before your eyes!" In response, Jiang Xiaofei let out a cold cry, and his hands immediately formed a series of seal arts.
"Yin and Yang Annihilating the World!"
"What?" As Jiang Xiaofei's voice fell, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and Xiaoyaozi's pupils suddenly constricted.
They watched as Jiang Xiaofei formed hand seals, causing the black and white swords to merge automatically. Daoist marks rippled across them, and obscure fluctuations spread outward.
Subsequently, those cryptic Daoist marks evolved into a diagram of Yin and Yang.
This Yin and Yang diagram displayed the symbols of Yin and Yang, complete with two focal points shaped like the twin fishes of Yin and Yang. Suspended right in the center were the black and white swords, emanating a terrifying divine might.
Under the weight of such power, everyone was struck with awe.
Beneath that Yin and Yang pattern, they felt as insignificant as mere ants.
At this moment, Xiaoyaozi's expression altered dramatically as well. Within that Yin and Yang pattern, he actually sensed the power of the Dao of Gods. This left him both incredulous and filled with utmost terror!
One must know that the power of the Dao of Gods was the very symbol of a deity. Yet now, Jiang Xiaofei had actually unleashed divine power, which indicated that the weapon's spirit was intervening. This filled him with profound apprehension.
However, he was unaware that this was the power of the primordial energies of black and white. These forces surpassed even the might of gods; heaven and earth are divided into Yin and Yang, and the black and white energies embody that very existence.
Now that the black and white swords were wielding this power, it naturally became even more terrifying!
Originally, Jiang Xiaofei had no wish to employ this method, as it was his ultimate trump card and his bloodline's power.
Yet, only by borrowing the strength of the black and white energies could he hope to defeat Xiaoyaozi.
If one looked closely, one could see that within the two focal points of the Yin and Yang pattern, streams of divine power were flowing, seeming to converge into a single, overwhelming force.
It was not difficult to imagine just how terrifying that power would be once it erupted.
At this juncture, the Demon-Suppressing Tower seemed to sense the immense crisis emanating from the Yin and Yang diagram. It began to tremble violently, emitting a low, buzzing hum.
Seeing the reaction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, everyone below was astonished!
After all, the tower had stood unshaken just moments before under the joint attack of the twin swords, yet now it was trembling. Such a reaction defied all understanding.
Meanwhile, Xiaoyaozi's expression shifted drastically in shock. He knew that the weapon's spirit residing within the Demon-Suppressing Tower had sensed the threat and was gripped by fear!
The next instant, the Demon-Suppressing Tower abruptly vanished from everyone's sight.
"What is happening?" As the tower disappeared, countless onlookers were left in utter bewilderment.
Xiaoyaozi himself felt a sharp pain in his chest and could not help spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, leaving his face deathly pale.
Maintaining the Demon-Suppressing Tower had already nearly exhausted his magic power.
Now, with the tower abruptly breaking free from his spiritual control, he was caught completely off guard, suffering a severe backlash.
This filled him with fury. Since the tower had fled, how could he possibly withstand Jiang Xiaofei's assault?
Right at this moment, Jiang Xiaofei's gaze locked onto the void where the tower had vanished, and he shouted coldly, "You wish to escape the palm of this king's hand? Pure fantasy! Stay right where you are!"
"Power of Yin and Yang, seal the heavens, lock the earth!"
As his words echoed, Jiang Xiaofei instantly directed the Yin and Yang diagram.
Hum.
That patch of the void shuddered. The Yin and Yang diagram soared into the firmament, expanding to a size of ten thousand丈, resembling a celestial compass that shrouded the entire realm. A vast, primordial Daoist aura immediately surged outward.
Under the influence of this Daoist might, space was sealed, the void rapidly solidified, and the air ceased to flow, causing everyone present to feel an instant sense of suffocation!
Bang!
When a deafening crash reverberated through the void, a gigantic tower, seemingly struck by a monstrous repulsive force, was violently knocked out from the hidden space.
"You cannot slay this immortal."
As the Demon-Suppressing Tower reappeared, a voice brimming with supreme majesty resounded through the air.
That voice fell like a crashing thunderclap, causing everyone below to gaze in terror and instinctively cover their ears.
"As expected, it is the weapon's spirit."
Hearing that voice, Jiang Xiaofei furrowed his brows slightly, then shouted coldly, "Since you have already shown yourself, you shall remain here for this king!"
"If you dare to slay this immortal, my master shall certainly not spare you..."
The weapon's spirit roared in fury, immediately causing the heavens and earth to tremble. A terrifying divine might erupted from the tower's body, shattering the surrounding space into fissures. It seemed the weapon's spirit was truly enraged!
Facing the threat of the weapon's spirit, Jiang Xiaofei frowned, then shouted sternly, "Why would I not dare? Since you have already made your move, you must die by this king's hand."
"Yin and Yang Annihilating the World, Reverse the Cosmos!"
As Jiang Xiaofei's words finished, the two black and white fishes within the Yin and Yang diagram merged completely. The terrifying divine power rapidly coalesced, and a vast surge of divine might erupted from its very center.
Under the weight of that destructive force, the sky fell silent and dark as the night descended.
The weapon's spirit let out a shriek of terror: "No, this immortal does not want to die..."
Yet, as the overwhelming torrent of divine power struck, that voice, along with the Demon-Suppressing Tower itself, was completely engulfed.
Just like that, the Demon-Suppressing Tower was destroyed.
Following the destruction of the tower, the world fell into a profound stillness. Everyone below stood dumbfounded, staring fixedly at the churning sky in utter disbelief, their eyes filled with shock and horror.
How formidable the Demon-Suppressing Tower had been just moments ago! Yet even such a mighty divine artifact could not withstand Jiang Xiaofei, and was instead ruthlessly obliterated by him!
"Was it not said that even deities can hardly destroy divine artifacts? Could he be even stronger than a god?"
At this moment, countless people were consumed by doubt. Jiang Xiaofei's might far exceeded their imagination.
Meanwhile, upon witnessing the destruction of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, Xiaoyaozi looked as though he had aged decades in an instant. His face was a mask of utter despair, his eyes brimming with panic and fear.
The Demon-Suppressing Tower was the supreme divine artifact left behind by their patriarch, yet it had now been shattered by Jiang Xiaofei!
The tower had been Maoshan's greatest reliance, and now it was gone.
He was in no way a match for Jiang Xiaofei; he lacked even the qualifications to resist. It seemed that death was the only fate awaiting him in the next instant.
"This fellow is truly terrifying beyond measure!" At this moment, the Corpse King was equally shaken.
After all, the Demon-Suppressing Tower was a top-tier divine artifact; even at the peak of his power, he would not have dared to claim he could casually destroy it. Yet Jiang Xiaofei had done precisely that.
In particular, the final attack unleashed by Jiang Xiaofei was something he doubted he could have survived even in his prime. Its terror was evident.
Although he knew that this was the result of the weapon spirit inside the black and white swords intervening, it still demonstrated Jiang Xiaofei's formidable foundation.
While this realization shocked him, it also filled him with exhilaration. In his view, choosing Jiang Xiaofei as a brother of life and death was a decision he had not regretted.
