Chapter 859: One Sword Slashes the Nine Heavens

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

From the moment Donor was born, his elders had instilled in him the idea that they were nobler and more holy than the Night Elves. And in the records left behind by the Elven royal family, there had never been any positive documents about the Night Elves.

Whenever the Night Elves appeared in literature records, they were documented as ugly, lowly, and despicable inferior creatures.

Therefore, Donor had never known that demons and angels could cooperate so well. Even when Donor fought with other Light Elves, he had never cooperated so well with them as he did with Estelle.

He didn’t even need Estelle to specify what he should do or when he should actually do it.

The two of them looked at each other silently. They could see the surprise and disbelief in each other’s expressions. Donor suddenly extended his right hand to Estelle and said, “I haven’t found a suitable Back Spirit yet. If you’re willing, I want to invite you to be my Back Spirit.”

After Light Elf beast tamers reached adulthood, they could choose their ideal beast tamer to form a Back Spirit contract with.

The so-called Back Spirit referred to a close combat partner who one could trust one’s back to.

After a Light Elf decided on his Back Spirit and handed over his heart blood to the other party, the two of them would refine each other’s heart blood to form an invisible fuse between them.

This fuse would connect their minds and make them invincible.

Every Light Elf could only form one Back Spirit in their lifetime.

Most Light Elves would form a contract with their spouses, but there were also some who would form a contract with their most trusted friends.

However, no matter what, no Light Elf had ever formed a contract with a Night Elf.

This was something unthinkable to them.

Donor had been an adult for a long time. The reason he had not chosen a Back Spirit yet was that he had never met a beast tamer who had a tacit understanding with him.

To be honest, Donor had once set his sights on Sheng Xiao. He had even suggested to Sheng Xiao that he wanted to form a contract with him.

But Sheng Xiao didn’t agree.

However, the reason Donor wanted to form a contract with Sheng Xiao wasn’t because they had a tacit understanding in battle, but simply because he admired Sheng Xiao’s strength.

But today, when he fought the Nine-tailed Snake Demon with Estelle, Donor felt an unprecedented tacit understanding during battle.

At that moment, Donor’s intuition told him—

Estelle was the Back Spirit he was looking for!

Estelle naturally knew that Light Elves had the habit of forming Back Spirit contracts with others. Facing Donor’s invitation, Estelle felt flattered.

However, Estelle didn’t immediately agree to Donor’s request. He said, “Sorry, I can only form a Back Spirit contract with the person I have the strongest tacit understanding with.”

In other words, he felt that Donor didn’t meet his requirements for the strongest tacit understanding.

Donor’s mouth twitched, and he frowned as he asked, “You don’t think we have a tacit understanding?”

Estelle shook her head and said, “There is a tacit understanding between us.”

Donor was about to say something when Estelle said, “But the world is so big. Other than the Holy Spirit Academy, there are countless small worlds and great worlds. Who can guarantee that you are my strongest tacit partner?”

Donor was speechless.

Estelle was really a rational and cold-hearted Night Elf. “Then I hope you can consider me.” Donor was certain that he couldn’t meet a more suitable tacit partner than Estelle.

Estelle nodded. Seeing that Feng Yuncheng and Sheng Xiao were working together to fight the Nine-tailed Snake Demon, he said, “Let’s kill the snake first!”

“Okay!”

The six of them joined forces and fought the Nine-tailed Snake Demon for more than an hour.

The six of them felt that their spiritual power was about to be exhausted. At the same time, the Nine-tailed Snake Demon was bleeding too much because of its broken tail. Coupled with the fact that it had exhausted too much demonic power, it looked like it was at the end of its rope.

Sheng Xiao saw that the Nine-tailed Snake Demon couldn’t hold on much longer and that they didn’t have much spiritual power left, so he shouted in a deep voice, “Form the umbrella array!”

Hearing this, Yu Huang and the others immediately flew behind Sheng Xiao and stood in a straight line. Donor placed his hand on Sheng Xiao’s left shoulder, and Yu Huang placed her hand on Donor’s left shoulder.

Estelle, Feng Yuncheng, and Kunlun did the same.

The five of them immediately activated all their remaining spiritual power and poured it into Sheng Xiao’s body without hesitation.

After receiving the help of Yu Huang and the others, the spiritual power in Sheng Xiao’s body recovered to its peak.

A pair of shiny black dragon horns drilled out of Sheng Xiao’s forehead. Hard black dragon scales instantly grew under his neck. His protective spiritual power turned into a dragon-scale armor that covered him fully.

Sheng Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. The black sky dragon and the dragon sword fused into one. The sword’s dragon roar was deafening. Black spiritual power filled the world, as if a dragon was descending. The entire desert shook with its descent.

Sheng Xiao’s figure disappeared from the spot and rushed into the black spiritual energy fog like a shadow. Yu Huang and the others vaguely saw a person and a sword fighting with strange moves amidst the fog.

Then, Sheng Xiao reappeared in everyone’s sight.

However, the figure and sword shadow in the black fog had yet to disappear!

Soon, the second Sheng Xiao appeared behind the first one.

Just as Yu Huang and the others were in disbelief, the third, fourth, fifth… and ninth Sheng Xiao appeared behind the first Sheng Xiao.

A deep voice echoed—

“One Sword Slashes the Nine Heavens!”

Boom!

The first Sheng Xiao held the Dragon Sword and slashed at the Nine-tailed Snake Demon.

The Nine-tailed Snake Demon roared and charged at Sheng Xiao at full speed. But at that moment, the second Sheng Xiao attacked the Nine-tailed Snake Demon again with the Dragon Sword!

Then, the third Sheng Xiao, the fourth Sheng Xiao…

They all took action!

Wave after wave of attacks landed accurately on the Nine-tailed Snake Demon. The ninth Sheng Xiao was the real Sheng Xiao.

He held the Dragon Sword and charged at the Nine-tailed Snake Demon. He fused with the Dragon Sword in the void and slashed through the Nine-tailed Snake Demon’s body with powerful momentum before passing through its thick body!

Boom!

The Nine-tailed Snake Demon turned into pieces and fell to the ground while bleeding profusely.

After each of the snake’s body parts fell to the ground, it twitched for a while before dying completely. With a pale face, Sheng Xiao landed in front of the snake meat on the Nine-tailed Snake Demon’s abdomen. He pierced the Nine-tailed Snake Demon’s abdomen with his sword and took out a bloody Monster Core the size of two fists.

Sheng Xiao saw that there were nine demonic patterns on the Monster Core. When he realized that there was a very light demonic pattern beside the last demonic pattern, he said, “This was a super demon beast that had reached the peak of level nine and was about to break through level ten.”

So far, it was also the strongest demon that Sheng Xiao and the others had successfully killed.
