Fengyue Patriarch's eyes narrowed, clearly not expecting this Qingyun Sect disciple to be so formidable, effortlessly blocking his killing move. Facing the incoming fireballs, he dared not be careless either, his body as swaying as a willow in the wind, seemingly moving with the wind, drifting erratically in the air, and none of the dozen or so fireballs managed to hit him.
"good!"
A glint flashed in Li Ling's eyes. He hadn't had a chance to properly demonstrate his abilities since breaking through to the Shangqing Realm, mainly because he hadn't encountered an opponent he needed to fight with all his might. The Azure Dragon was an option, but Li Ling didn't dare to get entangled with it under the circumstances. Now that the Old Ancestor Fengyue was here, it couldn't be better for him.
"kill!"
With a long roar, the Azure Light of the Dragon-Slaying Sword suddenly erupted, and it attacked the Old Ancestor Fengyue, which was targeted by Li Ling's sword technique!
"Good lad!"
Fengyue Old Ancestor was slightly startled. He had thought that he had come here for the sake of a Qingyun Sect disciple who had killed his nephew. The reason he joined forces with the Blood-Sucking Old Demon was only because he was worried that it would alert Cangsong and the others. He wanted to finish the battle quickly, capture Li Ling, and take him back to torture him. But now, seeing this kid make a move, he actually felt that he was in danger!
At that moment, the Old Ancestor of Wind and Moon put aside his contempt and fully mobilized his spiritual power to fight against Li Ling's Dragon-Slaying Sword. After realizing that Li Ling's swordsmanship was extremely high, his sword techniques were wielded with ease, and that he was using the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon Dragon-Slaying Sword, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He shouldn't have been so arrogant as to show himself directly. If he had known that this kid was so powerful, he should have launched a sneak attack. At the same time, he was also annoyed. If he still had the Mountain and River Fan, even if the other party was holding a divine weapon from the heavens, he wouldn't have to be so restrained!
In contrast, Li Ling was full of vigor, unleashing his sword technique, drawing countless streaks of azure light in the air, like a sword net trapping the Old Ancestor Fengyue within! (Wish Star of All Heavens and Myriad Realms)

Chapter 360: Slaying the Old Demon
Li Ling and Fengyue Laozu were locked in a fierce battle, but because Fengyue Laozu no longer had any suitable magic weapons, Li Ling was gaining a slight advantage.
On the other side, Zhang Xiaofan, as expected of the protagonist, faced the Vampire Ancestor, a demonic old demon who had been famous for over a hundred years. Although his strength was inferior, his foundation was the most solid in the Qingyun Sect. With careful defense, it would not be so easy for the Vampire Ancestor to take him down in a short time.
Seeing Zhang Xiaofan fighting the Bloodsucking Ancestor with great skill, Li Ling felt somewhat relieved, but he increased his strength, and the Dragon Slayer Sword under his command changed in countless ways, making the Wind and Moon Ancestor struggle to cope.
Li Ling's current skill level was not much different from that of the Old Ancestor Fengyue, and with the divine weapon in hand, he soon gained the upper hand against the Old Ancestor Fengyue, who was unarmed and helpless.
"Boom!!"
Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, the dim sky gradually darkened, and a thick cloud covered the entire sky.
Streaks of silvery lightning flashed through the dark clouds, as if they had cleaved the sky in two. Large raindrops fell rapidly, and in an instant, the world was transformed into a curtain of beads, with torrential rain covering everything.
Looking at the strange weather, Li Ling thought of the plot in the original novel and thought to himself, "Looks like today is the day!"
Meanwhile, the Old Ancestor of Wind and Moon also suffered several wounds. Although they were not even minor injuries, they still greatly humiliated him.
His face was ashen as he parried the Dragon-Slaying Sword, gritting his teeth as he said, "Boy, you're just relying on the advantage of your weapon to bully me, your ancestor, who's unarmed. If the Mountain and River Fan were still in my hands, how could I let you off so easily!"
"Haha, who told you to give the magic weapon to that good-for-nothing nephew!" Li Ling mercilessly reopened old wounds, making the Old Ancestor of Wind and Moon even angrier, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.
Even though Li Ling had the upper hand, he was not at ease. He glanced at the Qingyun Sect's encampment in the distance. Normally, this place was not far from the Qingyun Sect's encampment, and someone would probably have noticed something was wrong and come to help. But now it was not so simple.
Taking advantage of the birth of the Kui Niu, the Vampire Ancestor launched an attack, inevitably leading to a major battle between the righteous path and the demonic sect. It's hard to say whether they will be able to spare the time to help.
Li Ling himself was fine, but Zhang Xiaofan was now struggling to keep up, after all, the difference in their cultivation levels was still too great.
Having made up his mind, Li Ling rose into the air, unsheathed his Qiankun Sword, and stepped onto the Seven Stars formation. He loudly chanted:
"Nine Heavens Mystic Temple, transformed into divine thunder; majestic heavenly might, drawn forth with the sword!"
As he chanted the incantation, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic, and the dark clouds above began to gather in accordance with the incantation, with arcs of electricity flashing in the clouds from time to time!
"Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique!!"
Both the Wind and Moon Ancestor, who was blocking the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and the Blood-Sucking Ancestor, who was fighting Zhang Xiaofan, couldn't help but scream in surprise at the same time.
They had all heard of the formidable reputation of the Qingyun Sect's Mountain-Suppressing Incantation, which was forged from the corpses of countless demonic cult members. Now, the Qiankun Sword had already received the lightning from the sky. With a roar, Li Ling shouted, and a bolt of lightning shot from the Qiankun Sword toward the Old Ancestor Fengyue!
"No!!"
The speed of lightning was astonishing. Without any magical treasures to protect him, the Old Ancestor of Wind and Moon could only let out a scream before being enveloped by the boundless white light.
After the lightning dissipated, a charred corpse was left there, emitting thick smoke. The old patriarch of Fengyue, who had dominated the world for over a hundred years, was instantly killed by the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique!
After killing the Old Ancestor Fengyue, Li Ling did not dispel the spell. Instead, he activated his spiritual power again. With another long shout, another bolt of lightning struck the blade of the Dragon-Slaying Sword, which had been fighting the Old Ancestor Fengyue for a long time, and slashed towards the direction of the Blood-Sucking Demon next to him.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan retreated quickly. The Bloodsucking Ancestor was alarmed and hurriedly chased after Zhang Xiaofan, knowing that only by the boy's side could Li Ling be deterred from taking action.
Unfortunately, Li Ling did not give him a chance to step forward. Another bolt of lightning flashed, and the terrifying heavenly lightning attacked the vampire demon below.
"Boom!!"
"Ah!!" Seeing that it was too late, the Vampire Ancestor roared and threw the red skull in his hand into the sky. He frantically made hand seals, and the red light suddenly shone brightly. The next moment, it collided with the white light!
"Boom!!"
After the loud noise, the Vampire Ancestor's face turned crimson, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He couldn't help but feel bitter. The magical treasures he had painstakingly cultivated over the past hundred years had been completely destroyed by the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique. However, being able to escape with his life was better than being completely annihilated like the Old Ancestor Fengyue had just been.
The heavenly lightning finally dissipated. Li Ling, who had entered the Shangqing Realm, used the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique twice in a row. At this moment, he was only slightly tired and had consumed a lot of spiritual energy. This was incomparable to the time when Lu Xueqi forcibly used the technique during the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Competition, which caused internal injuries. This was the difference after entering the Shangqing Realm.
At the same time, just as the Vampire Ancestor was rejoicing that he had finally escaped with his life, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Before he could turn around, he felt a pain in his chest. A beam of light passed through his heart and returned to Li Ling's side, revealing its true form, which was the Qiankun Sword.
"Uh..." The vampire patriarch turned his gaze to his chest, only to see a blood hole the size of a bowl.
"I'm going to die..." Such a thought popped into his mind, and at this moment, the consciousness of the Vampire Ancestor slowly dissipated.
"Hmph, a narrow escape? This was a life-or-death struggle!" Li Ling scoffed at the vampire patriarch's naiveté.
The two sides are engaged in a life-or-death battle. Don't you know you should always be on guard? Or do you think I'm temporarily too weak to fight after unleashing two consecutive Divine Sword Thunder Control Techniques?
