Chapter Nineteen: The Third Patriarch Battles the Demon Sage

Page (1/3)

After arriving at the battlefield, An Miaoling immediately drew the Iceglass Sword.

Her expression gradually turned cold as she began to activate the power of her bloodline.

In an instant, the surrounding temperature plummeted until even their breath became mist.

She fixed her gaze on the Desolate Bull Demon King, the closest enemy to her. He was one of the bull demons.

Whoosh!

An Miaoling unleashed a furious slash, carrying an overwhelming sea of sword intent.

Sensing the formidable sword intent, the Desolate Bull Demon King instinctively wanted to retreat.

But before he could move, the sword light had already reached him.

He had no choice but to withstand it head-on. His muscles bulged as he raised the ax in his hands and smashed it forward with tremendous force.

However, An Miaoling was wielding a supreme-grade Imperial weapon.

The Iceglass Sword cleaved through the ax with ease and pierced straight through the Desolate Bull Demon King's body.

He was killed in a single move.

Many humans and demons were stunned.

Yet this was only the beginning. Every Demon King she encountered afterward was slain with a single sword strike.

After killing them, she conveniently collected their corpses into her storage ring and sealed them in ice.

They would serve as ingredients.

In barely half a minute, she had killed ten Demon Kings. Her combat strength was simply terrifying.

Much of this was due to the frightening power of the supreme-grade Imperial weapon.

It could easily break through a Demon King's defenses.

The Demon Kings immediately fell into a panic. Whenever they saw An Miaoling approaching, they fled wildly.

The people of the Three Sects, meanwhile, wore delighted expressions.

Inside the golden palanquin, the Golden Dragon Demon Saint was not angry at An Miaoling's performance. Instead, he was somewhat pleased.

The greater her talent, the more he would gain after devouring her bloodline.

As for the deaths of the Demon Kings, he did not care. The demon race had always followed the law of the jungle.

The strongest among them had grown powerful by devouring countless other demons.

It was much like raising venomous insects in a jar. So long as the one who died was not a Demon Emperor, he would feel no heartache.

Just as the situation seemed about to be reversed, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor arrived with dozens of Demon Kings.

Seeing this, Mo Wentian and the others revealed worried expressions.

At the same time, they had to admit that the demon race truly possessed a great many powerful experts.

With the new Demon Emperor joining the battle, he began slaughtering the elders and peak masters of the Three Sects.

Crushing Heart!

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor swung his arm and directly broke through Lei Ba's defenses. He then tore out the Thunder-Controlling Peak Master's heart.

With an evil grin on his face, he clenched his fist viciously and crushed the heart to pieces.

Afterward, he became even more excited, as though he were enjoying an extremely amusing game.

By the time An Miaoling saw what had happened, it was already too late.

Although she did not particularly like Lei Ba, she could sense that he had genuinely cared about her.

That was why he had told her not to remain at Sword Concealing Peak.

At that moment, the Demon Emperor targeted Su Lan, the peak master of Jade Sword Peak.

After only two exchanges, Su Lan was drenched in blood and barely clinging to life.

The Demon Emperor walked over to her and was about to stomp down when the Iceglass Sword flew toward him.

Sensing the terrifying sword intent rushing at him, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor could only twist aside and evade.

An Miaoling then arrived beside Su Lan and placed a supreme-grade Earth-tier healing pill in her mouth.

The Iceglass Sword also flew back into her hand.

"Your opponent is me!"

An Miaoling's voice was cold. At that moment, she seemed to have transformed once more into the Emotionless Empress.

At Sword Concealing Peak, Qin Tian held Bai Xiaoru in his arms as he watched the battle. For the time being, however, he had no intention of taking action.

It was the same as with the Golden Dragon Demon Saint, who had yet to make a move.

The king would face the king, and the general would face the general.

An Miaoling showed no fear before the Demon Emperor. Instead, she charged forward of her own accord.

Lower-grade Imperial Sword Art, Hearttrace Sword.

With a single sword strike, the sword intent pierced directly through the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's flesh and began shaking his heart.

She had learned this technique from Qin Tian earlier. In her previous life, although she had used a sword, she had not been a true sword cultivator.

She had cultivated the Great Dao of Severed Emotions. Only in this life could she be considered a genuine sword cultivator.

After his heart was struck by the Hearttrace Sword, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor froze for a moment before blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.

But he was not seriously injured. His racial talent lay in the extraordinary strength of his physical body.

Seeing that the Hearttrace Sword had not achieved much, An Miaoling began fighting at close range.

She intended to make full use of the advantage offered by the Iceglass Sword, a supreme-grade Imperial weapon.

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor produced a black iron staff and brought it crashing down. An Miaoling raised her sword horizontally to block it.

The enormous force sent her staggering backward, leaving her hands slightly numb.

At that moment, she secretly decided never again to meet the Giant Ape's attacks head-on.

She moved constantly to evade his attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

At last, that opportunity came.

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor suddenly brought his staff down in a mighty Mountain-Splitting Strike.

Judging from the movement of his raised arm, An Miaoling anticipated the attack and evaded it before the staff fell. She then swept her sword backward in a counterstrike.

Slash!

A wound appeared across the Giant Ape's body.

In the several clashes that followed, An Miaoling repeatedly predicted his attacks and countered successfully.

At last, after losing too much blood, the Giant Ape Demon Emperor's combat strength began to decline.

He was ultimately slain beneath her sword.

These predictions were also the product of her past battle experience.

By studying an opponent's habits and methods during the opening exchanges, one could seize the initiative and launch effective counterattacks.

The fall of the Giant Ape Demon Emperor also established An Miaoling's reputation.

From that moment onward, she would hold a place among the strongest experts of Eastern Continent.

The Giant Ape Demon Emperor's death marked the beginning of the demon race's collapse, for no one remained capable of stopping her slaughter.

Just as she was about to join Mo Wentian in attacking the Azure Roc Demon Emperor, the Golden Dragon Demon Saint emerged.

"Little girl, you truly are impressive. But this is where it ends!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura bore down upon An Miaoling.

Boom!

An Miaoling was forced backward again and again beneath the pressure, a bitter smile curling at the corner of her lips.

Against a Half-Saint, she could rely on her Imperial weapon to win. But before a true Saint, she was completely helpless.

At that moment, Voidbright stepped out of the void.

"A Demon Saint attacking a young girl in the Creation Realm—aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

The Golden Dragon Demon Saint replied disdainfully, "Have your injuries healed? How dare you speak to me like that?"

"This time, I intend to leave no one alive. Your Three Sects must also pay the price for what happened back then."

With that, he directly produced a dragon spear and thrust it toward Voidbright.

Voidbright also drew a sword and slashed forward.

Boom!

Voidbright was sent flying backward.

"Too weak. After all these years, you have not improved in the slightest."

"You had better call out those two old fools and have them join you."

Having said this, the Golden Dragon Demon Saint looked toward the distant void.

Two figures slowly emerged.

The battlefield immediately erupted into excitement.

"That is the ancestor of Penglai! I have seen his portrait. I never imagined he was still alive."

"Our Taibai Sect's ancestor is here too. Wonderful!"

Three against one—nearly everyone from the Three Sects wore delighted expressions.

Only the Saints of the Three Sects looked solemn.

They knew how terrifying the dragon race was. Ordinary attacks could not even penetrate its defenses.

Voidbright and the others surrounded the Golden Dragon Demon Saint in a triangular formation.

Using themselves as the formation's focal points, they deployed the Three Talents Formation. Back then, they had relied on this combined attack technique to defeat the Golden Dragon.

The Golden Dragon Demon Saint was full of confidence and allowed them to continue preparing.

He intended to defeat them at the height of their strength.

He wanted everyone to experience despair first. Only then would it be interesting.

Only then could he ease the fury that had burned within him throughout his three hundred years of imprisonment.

The Three Talents Formation was completed. The three men each stood in the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

A mysterious connection formed between them, allowing them to draw upon one another's strength.

Voidbright stamped his right foot against the ground. His entire body shot toward the Golden Dragon Demon Saint like a cannonball.

The strength of the Saints from the other two sects also flowed into Voidbright.

This single sword strike combined the power of all three men, causing its might to surge dramatically.
