ack demonic aura that blocked the fire pillars and thunderbolts outside.“This guy, he actually learned Jiang Yunliang’s kid's miraculous fire escape technique so quickly.”The eight-legged demon ox was...Thinking fast, delivering the best!
These nine Sky Demon Locusts intended to communicate with the Lotus Avatar through this method, hoping to summon its physical presence. However, besides the converging sword intent, there was no other response from the surroundings.

“Having reached your level of cultivation, don't you even have the courage to appear before me” The Nine-headed Winged Demon Locust continued.
“Take my flying sword, we can meet again later.” The calm voice of the lotus avatar rose amidst the swirling sword intent, “Leave these nine blood-winged demon locusts and these nine demon locust trees to me, you deal with the other demons within the city.”
In the void, sword intent condensed into seven colossal swords. Some were like mountains taming rivers and valleys, some like angry seas calmed, some like restless hearts stilled, some like raging winds subdued, and some like blazing suns quelled. The space filled with sword intent was unprecedentedly ethereal, as if everything had been smoothed over.
“Yes, my lord!” The Seven-Town Swords are the symbol of Jiuyang City. Their existence predates any city lord and holds immense sway over the people's hearts in this city. Seeing that the initial blood sea threatening to spill outwards had been completely contained, the surrounding celestial army roared their assent. The original panic was quelled within the shortest time.
“Arrogant!” The Nine-Headed Demon Locust roared, each of its eight heads spitting out a blood-colored beam. These beams carried a chaotic aura. Some unlucky immortal soldiers who hadn't retreated far enough and lacked the strength to resist the chaotic energy within the bloodlight suffered internal turmoil, their veins bulging and bursting one after another. They instantly turned into bloody corpses, their blood flowing onto the ground and merging with the bloodlight. The Nine-Headed Demon Locust’s aura continued to rise dramatically.
"The Law of Blood" A holographic image of the lotus split-self appeared in the void, gazing at the surging power of the blood-colored tide. It seemed to stir the blood within itself, making it throb and expand. When it came to the power of laws cultivated, the lotus split-self was naturally far from comparable to the opponent's at this time. However, these seven great swords, treasures like the Town Swords, inherently contained the power of laws. After the lotus split-self refined them, it could fuse them into a sword intent barrier through these swords, blocking the influence of the opponent's law power. Even under attacks from flying swords, the power of law accompanied it, interconnecting and flowing seamlessly, endlessly renewing itself. Otherwise, how could the lotus split-self contend with Golden Immortal-level powerhouses using only these seven swords
The lotus divided its figure into two hands, palms held upwards. Surrounding it, sword intent surged mightily, like gigantic waves crashing one after another, piling up to form a massive sword intent barrier. Seven swords shattered the sword intent barrier and each struck a Blood Demon Locust head separately.

The blood-colored pillar of light clashed with the flying sword, and no sound was emitted. All sounds were suppressed by the Sound-Suppressing Sword. The two sides fought in a silent battle.
The roots of the Seven-Branched Devil Locust Tree plunged frantically into the ground, trying to extract more blood-devil locust aura from beneath. However, in the process of extracting it, they discovered that the ground, which was previously not difficult to break through, had become extremely hard. Every inch the roots drilled down required several times the effort. Underneath the surging sword intent, the mountains and rivers of the earth seemed to have solidified.
"Such amazing Seven Town Swords." The Nine-Headed Bloodwing Locust's face darkened. If he had known better, he wouldn't have been so reckless. Limited by his own strength, he couldn't fully teleport here, and even the main body of the Nine-Headed Bloodwing Locust hadn't arrived yet. He was only using this locust tree as a surrogate. If he had more time, even if he couldn't defeat the Lotus Avatar wielding the Seven Town Swords, he could at least remain undefeated. Especially since there were countless immortal soldiers and civilians within Jiuyang City. They were the best nourishment for his Locust Tree. The Nine-Headed Bloodwing Locust had been imprisoned in Luoyang Prison for too long. As soon as he escaped, he immediately rushed to Jiuyang City.
Being still and thinking actively, the nine-headed bloodwing locusts and their tribe had lived in Luoyang Prison for too long. They had an unusual craving for blood food. Moreover, they looked down on the lotus avatar, after all, the lotus avatar was just recently promoted to the celestial fairy realm, while Jiuren Mountain had to personally go to Luoyang Prison to sit in town. The defense of Jiuyang City was strict, and the nine-headed bloodwing locust didn't expect to be able to strike with one blow. Take some advantage and retreat, satisfy their desires at the same time, and accumulate more strength. The plan was going smoothly for a while. At this time, Luoyang Prison had once again erupted in chaos, and Jiuren Mountain had to go there again to sit in town. Logically speaking, no one in Jiuyang City could fight him anymore. As long as he wasn't held back by the large army of immortal soldiers, it would be enough for him to take advantage of the situation and leave. His previous actions of blooming everywhere had indeed dispersed a lot of attention from the immortal soldiers of Jiuyang City.
However, it was unexpected that after this celestial junior controlled the seven town swords, they became so difficult to deal with. Jiuyang City could not be captured in a short time. After the immortal army quelled the unrest within the city, they would soon crush down. Even if they formed a battle formation, his nine-headed blood-winged demon locust would also be suppressed, let alone the powerful sword immortal beside him.
This time, I'm afraid it's going to be a case of losing the egg and the nest. Even if we suffer losses, we should try our best to minimize them.
After solidifying his plan, the nine-headed Bloodwing Demonic Locust roared. The roots of the nine demonic locust trees outside continued to spread downwards. At the same time, the surrounding blood tide began to retract, centering around the nine demonic locust trees.
The lotus avatar let out a soft hum. These demons were indeed elusive, especially these years as the passage to the outside world from Luo'ang Prison constantly shifted and became more numerous, making it increasingly difficult to guard against the demons emerging from within. However, for them to choose Jiuyao City as their breakthrough point was bold indeed. This wasn't just about the current strength of the Nine-headed Bloodwing Demon Locust, which was steadily increasing but hadn't yet reached the level of a Golden Immortal. Even if its strength broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, or even another Golden Immortal expert arrived, without a sufficient army of demon troops accompanying them, they wouldn't be able to inflict significant damage on Jiuyao City. Once the surrounding immortal armies encircled them, they would still end up in defeat.
The foundations of Jiuyang City are not easily shaken by one or two Jinxian-level demons. Of course, no matter what, since the other party has appeared, it will inevitably cause a certain degree of damage to Jiuyang City.
At this time, with the lotus avatar fully unleashing the seven town swords, it could indeed directly counter a Golden Immortal-level existence to some extent. However, the opponent had not yet reached that level, so the lotus avatar naturally didn't need to directly draw out the main bodies of the seven town swords from different directions. It only needed to borrow the sword intent contained within them.
At least dealing with the Nine-Headed Bloodwing Locusts, who didn't even bring their main body here, was like this. And Lotus Division’s true body wasn’t here either. The figure that descended upon this place right now was nothing more than a manifestation of sword intent.
Even so, it's enough for nine Bloodwing Locust to handle.n, Zhu Qingquan worried that offending this Dou Peng cultivator would be a bad idea. Right now, the only thing they could do was try to salvage the situation. What if this person was truly a master al...
