Chapter 1415 (Raw 1406): Bai Wuxue"s Whereabouts
Xiao Chen originally wanted to keep one Demon alive and force out Bai Wuxue"s location from that Demon. However, these four were too overboard. So, he could no longer be bothered with so much, directly killing them.
He had always been decisive in killing Demons. If he could kill them in one move, he would not use a second move.
After entering the Dragon Burial Mound, that strange aura became even more obvious. The black Dragon Qi swimming in the sky and the geographical layout made one extremely uncomfortable.
It looked like the rumors were probably right. There was indeed the corpse of a Demon Monarch buried here, and this Demon Monarch had an impressive background.
"Who is it? How dare you barge into this forbidden zone!"
Soon, a group of Demons discovered the Cycle War Chariot and blocked Xiao Chen"s path.
Xiao Chen had allowed this on purpose, slowing down. If he traveled at full speed, this group of Demons would not be able to block him.
The war chariot stopped above a pile of shattered rocks. Then, he peered through the curtains and casually sized up the group of people in front. He was surprised to discover that the leader was rather strong, significantly stronger than the four Demons guarding the entrance.
This person was w.a.n.g Tian, one of the Blood Demon Royal Hall"s four Protectors, who once appeared at the mountain manor where Eccentric Qin resided.
"Kill him!" w.a.n.g Tian instructed when he saw that Xiao Chen did not reply. Ten Martial Emperors of the Blood Demon Royal Hall turned into beams of scarlet light as they flew over. In the blink of an eye, they went through the window and entered the chariot.
w.a.n.g Tian smiled coldly. These days the Shadowless Saber Sovereign was too famous. There were even many cultivators imitating him, sticking a saber in the front of their war chariots.
However, w.a.n.g Tian hoped that this was not an imitator but the real Shadowless Saber Sovereign.
Right now, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign"s head was worth a lot in the Deep Abyss Demonic World. Two of the Demon Monarchs offered a reward of one thousand Primordial Pills in exchange for his head.
If it was really the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, they would definitely not be able to defeat him. However, if w.a.n.g Tian called on the other three Protectors and the Crown Scion, against the five of them working together, even a Sovereign Martial Emperor would fall!
"Ah!" Miserable shrieks came from inside the chariot.
What"s going on?
w.a.n.g Tian showed a startled expression. The ten First Heaven Martial Emperor elites were facing just one person. Even if they could not defeat him, it still should not be a huge problem.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A strong wind blew and the curtains shook. Corpses flew out one by one and landed on the ground, blasting the rocks into pieces and kicking up dust.
The ten Blood Demon Royal Hall elites all died. w.a.n.g Tian"s heart bled.
Even though this was the golden age and there would occasionally be people succeeding in their tribulations, resulting in many Martial Emperors, like during the peak of the Ancient Era, Martial Emperors were still the peak existences of cultivators. The number of Martial Emperors represented the strength of a faction.
This was especially so when these ten people were Martial Emperors of the Blood Demon Royal Hall, which had very high requirements. Those that could enter were all elites.
"Shadowless Saber Sovereign!" w.a.n.g Tian said through gritted teeth.
"That"s right. It"s me."
"You are really bold. Before the various outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm arrived, you dared to enter this Dragon Burial Mound alone. Are you looking down on our three great Demon Royal Halls?"
Xiao Chen replied indifferently from the war chariot, "As far as I know, your three Demon Royal Halls are merely bottomfeeder existences. Otherwise, of the eighteen Demon Royal Halls, they would not send you as the vanguard, to become cannon fodder."
"Humph! You will know whether we are cannon fodder or not soon enough!"
Right after w.a.n.g Tian spoke, his aura suddenly soared, and a scarlet sword appeared in his hand. The sword blazed with a dense fire—the sign of the activation of the Blood Fiend Art.
Xiao Chen watched coldly. He did not believe that the other party would dare to attack him.
"Whoos.h.!.+"
w.a.n.g Tian, whose aura was surging, appeared like he was going to fight it out with Xiao Chen. However, as Xiao Chen expected, when w.a.n.g Tian"s aura reached its peak, he sent out one sword strike and immediately turned tail.
Xiao Chen antic.i.p.ated this long ago. He smiled coldly, and the two horses revealed their true form, turning into mutated flood dragons.
The flood dragons carried Xiao Chen in an arc, dodging the other party"s scarlet sword Qi and blocking w.a.n.g Tian"s escape.
"Where are you going?"
w.a.n.g Tian showed a shocked expression. It was like this Shadowless Saber Sovereign had read his mind. However, he immediately calmed down. He was a Fifth Heaven Martial Emperor. Even if he faced a Sovereign Martial Emperor, he would still be able to survive severe injury.
"I know that I am not a match for you. Shadowless Saber Sovereign, if you let me go, I can pretend that I never saw you. Otherwise, I will fight with everything I have and flee to tell the Crown Scion of your appearance. With three Demon Royal Halls surrounding you, you will definitely die!" w.a.n.g Tian threatened Xiao Chen as he stood upright with his sword raised.
"You are overthinking. Do you think that I sneaked in? I already killed the four Demons guarding the entrance. Even if you don"t say anything, the three Demon Royal Halls will find out soon enough."
Oh no! w.a.n.g Tian thought to himself. Then, he instantly executed Blood Shadow Evasion, turning into a beam of scarlet light and fleeing. Blood Shadow Evasion was an innate ability of Blood Demons. Powerful Blood Demons could use this technique to move five thousand kilometers in an instant.
However, the technique was an enormous drain on one"s energy. Normally, unless left with no other choice, Blood Demons rarely used it.
"Ding!"
With a melodious sound, Pride shot out. The resplendent saber light made the saber"s blade looked like a pure bright moon.
A sharp shriek rang out. Pride pinned w.a.n.g Tian to the ground, making him vomit large amounts of blood.
"Bang!"
w.a.n.g Tian yelled and grabbed the saber with both hands, showing a pained expression. Enduring the pain, he yanked Pride out.
After w.a.n.g Tian stood up, he continued running without looking back. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign was stronger than he had thought. He was not a match for the Shadowless Saber Sovereign at all.
"Clang!" Pride returned to the war chariot. Xiao Chen felt surprised as he watched w.a.n.g Tian"s back. The life force of a Blood Demon was really resilient. That earlier attack stabbed into w.a.n.g Tian"s Heart of an Emperor, yet he could still flee.
However, this was better. The stronger this person was, the greater the access he would have to information in the Blood Demon Royal Hall.
Xiao Chen"s chances of finding Bai Wuxue would be better. Otherwise, if he had to search the dragon graves one by one, it would be almost impossible, as this Dragon Burial Mound was startlingly huge.
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen"s aura became like the wind, blowing the curtains of the chariot aside. This widened his field of vision, and he clearly saw w.a.n.g Tian"s fleeing figure.
"Come back!" He stretched out his hand and grabbed. The one thousand strands of Primordial Energy in his body spun around quickly in his palm, creating a strong suction. Then, he pulled w.a.n.g Tian back.
It was like teleportation, so strong that w.a.n.g Tian could not resist at all.
After w.a.n.g Tian was sucked inside, the curtains slowly came down, not having closed completely yet. This showed how fast the process was.
"I do not have time to waste on speaking nonsense with you. Tell me, where is Bai Wuxue?!" Xiao Chen asked expressionlessly as he held w.a.n.g Tian with one hand while seated in the middle.
Inside the sealed s.p.a.ce, w.a.n.g Tian saw this mysterious Shadowless Saber Sovereign for the first time. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign wore a mask and had black hair. His strong presence placed huge pressure on him.
When w.a.n.g Tian heard Xiao Chen"s question, a faintly discernible change flashed in his eyes. However, w.a.n.g Tian hid it very quickly.
After coughing a few times, w.a.n.g Tian smiled with much difficulty. "So, you are here on a rescue mission. In that case, you had better treat me well. Otherwise, it will be hard to guarantee your friend"s safety."
Xiao Chen eyed w.a.n.g Tian and said, "Be nice to you?"
The look chilled w.a.n.g Tian. He quickly said, "No need, no need. I"ll speak. All I ask is that you let me live."
"Don"t bargain with me."
Xiao Chen increased the force in the hand that held up w.a.n.g Tian. The Blood Demon immediately screamed at the intense pain.
After half a minute, w.a.n.g Tian could no longer take it. He shouted, "I"ll speak! I"ll speak. After the Protectors of the three Crown Scions worked together to injure him, he fled towards the Savage Battlefield"s Death Sand Dunes. The Fire Demon Royal Hall"s Protectors are currently chasing him."
Not dead yet? Good. I will be able to give away the Eternal Ice.
Xiao Chen knew about the Death Sand Dunes. It was a sprawling desert with corpses from the Hundred Race War buried in the sand. Now, they had already withered away. Corroded Divine Weapons, broken armor, and Demonified skeletons could be found there.
The environment of that place was complicated, with sand being blown about. It was a rather suitable place to flee to. Bai Wuxue should be able to hold out there for a period of time.
"I already answered. Can you let me go now?" Although w.a.n.g Tian did not have much hope, he did not give up but tried asking.
Xiao Chen did not reply. He still wanted to test the other party, to see if the other party was lying.
Xiao Chen did not say a word under his mask, giving an impression of inscrutability. The sealed s.p.a.ce turned scarily quiet. The dangling w.a.n.g Tian felt very nervous.
"You are lying," Xiao Chen said suddenly. Killing Qi shot out amid the suppressive atmosphere.
w.a.n.g Tian"s expression changed greatly. How did he know? He wanted to say something but immediately understood. He had been tricked.
"Indeed, you are lying to me. You are really courageous!"
"Bang!" w.a.n.g Tian"s body shot out of the chariot. His landing caused an intense explosion.
The war chariot moved slowly to w.a.n.g Tian"s side. Then, Xiao Chen"s cold voice came from inside. "This is your last chance. Tell me the truth. Otherwise…I won"t kill you. I"ll hand you to the relatives and friends of the Water Moon Alliance members."
This sentence caused w.a.n.g Tian, who was struggling to get to his feet, to turn ashen in horror.
The Demons had killed the people of the Water Moon Alliance very cruelly. w.a.n.g Tian was very clear about how furious those relatives and friends were. If he fell into their hands, it would be no different from going to h.e.l.l.
