Chapter 1433 (Raw 1423): Achieving One"s Aim by Underhanded Means; Matchlessly Skilled
After sending out this attack, Xiao Chen felt incomparably tired. His body tilted back, and the Cycle Throne appeared, floating in the air as it caught him.
The Divine Weapon separated into seven and returned to the back of the throne. Then, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and rested.
Right now, Saber Energy was Xiao Chen"s greatest trump card. After he exploded all ten spots of Saber Energy, it was like his body was drained.
Earlier, when using the Flawless Saber Technique with his seven sabers, he had drained most of his one thousand strands of Primordial Energy. Now was the moment when he was the most fatigued.
The throne flew slowly, but no one dared to block Xiao Chen. Everyone remained silent as they looked at this new Saber Sovereign with eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g respect.
That earlier saber strike was simply too horrifying. If not for the divine robes that Di Wuque wore, he would have died without a doubt.
Nine layers of restrictions and a Primordial Emperor Treasure combined could not block that saber strike. This showed how mighty that strike was.
The many Deity Dao Union"s wars.h.i.+ps immediately disappeared, all of them heading in the direction Di Wuque had taken.
The Divine Son was the core of the Deity Dao Union. If anything happened to him, the Deity Dao Union would have no reason to continue existing.
However, Xiao Chen"s earlier saber strike was horrifyingly strong, shocking everyone. No one knew where Di Wuque ended up. It would not be easy to find him quickly.
"Chu Chaoyun, you knew that it would end like this long ago?"
Yao Manlan could not conceal the shock in her eyes. This Shadowless Saber Sovereign was simply ridiculously strong. The speed of his rise was also too fast.
However, the one that startled Yao Manlan even more was Chu Chaoyun. It was like he knew this Shadowless Saber Sovereign well and was certain that he could teach Di Wuque a lesson.
Chu Chaoyun smiled and dodged the question. "Stop staring at the Saber Sovereign. It"s time for us to focus on the business at hand. Look there!"
Yao Manlan looked in the direction Chu Chaoyun pointed, where a few of the Demon Crown Scions were currently quickly forming hand seals behind the protection of many Demons.
At this moment, everyone"s attention was focused on the Shadowless Saber Sovereign. The Deity Dao Union"s people had dispersed to search for Di Wuque. No one was paying any attention to the Demon Crown Scions.
The Celestial Demon Crown Scion grasped hold of the timing very well. The Thunder Demon Royal Hall"s Lei Yun, the Snow Demon Royal Hall"s Bai Leng, and the Earth Demon Royal Hall"s Ning Feng stood beside him, all four quickly forming hand seals.
Not many people noticed that the black Dragon Qi in the sky was rapidly gathering over the Demons" location.
The Demon Royal Halls" people were very intelligent. They wanted to use this opportunity to summon out the Evil Shadow Sword and then let the Celestial Demon Crown Scion make a move immediately to obtain it.
When the four Demon Crown Scions finished forming their hand seals, strands of black Dragon Qi in the sky surged en ma.s.se towards the empty ground that the four surrounded and entered it.
The ten thousand dragons soaring cast a boundless black shadow that had everyone exclaiming in surprise.
"What"s going on? Why is the Dragon Qi in the sky moving around for no reason?"
The commotion was simply too huge. This scene finally attracted everyone"s attention, but it was already too late.
When Di Wuque started fighting with Xiao Chen, the Celestial Demon Crown Scion decisively caught hold of this opportunity. While everyone was enamored with the Shadowless Saber Sovereign"s battle with Di Wuque, the Celestial Demon Crown Scion set his plan into motion.
He had waited for this moment for too long already.
"Boom!"
A black Demon Sword broke out of the ground where ten thousand dragons had entered. Instantly, an overwhelming Demonic Might burst forth from the sword. The sky immediately turned dark.
"The Evil Shadow Sword!"
By now, everyone realized what was happening. It was the Evil Shadow Sword.
Only at this moment was the crowd startled awake. Too many things had happened at this Dragon Burial Mound. First, they had surrounded three Demon Royal Halls. Then, the other Demon Royal Halls arrived at the same time. After that, the ice sculpture appeared.
In the end, the ice sculpture turned into the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, who fought continuous battles, dazzling everyone. Nearly everyone forgot their original purpose for coming to the Dragon Burial Mound.
"d.a.m.n it. No wonder that group of Demons never left the place where the three Demon Royal Halls were!"
Many outstanding talents, like Chu Yang, were interested in the Demon Sword. Now, they felt incredible regret. However, they could only watch as the Celestial Demon Crown Scion soared into the air together with the Demon Sword. It looked like his victory was a foregone conclusion.
Xiao Chen, who had already reached the edge of the Dragon Burial Mound, was startled awake by the Demonic Qi filling the air. When he saw this scene, he looked like he understood what had happened.
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "This Celestial Demon Crown Scion…good plan…wait, something is off!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen discovered something not quite right. There seemed to be a figure hidden in the bank of clouds that the Demon Sword was soaring into.
It was like that figure had long antic.i.p.ated the appearance of the Demon Sword and waited there in advance. If not for Xiao Chen"s strong Spiritual Sense inadvertently scanning that area, he would not have noticed.
Although Xiao Chen was preparing to leave, he decided to keep an eye on the situation for the moment. Who was bold enough to dare to play such tricks under the nose of the Celestial Demon Crown Scion?
Xiao Chen was too far away. There was no way he could join the fight for this Demon Sword. However, that did not stop him from watching a great show.
The Demon Sword soared up at extreme speeds. Despite taking off right away to chase it, the Celestial Demon Crown Scion, flying at his top speed, he could not catch up so quickly.
However, since the outstanding talents in the area, who were far from the Demon Sword, only just started making their move, it was clear that this Demon Sword would end up with the Celestial Demon Crown Scion.
"Boom!"
The Demon Sword pierced through the thick black clouds, then slowed down. When the Celestial Demon Crown Scion saw this scene, joy bloomed on his face. He pushed off the air and sped up.
The moment the Celestial Demon Crown Scion entered the bank of black clouds, the scene that greeted him made him want to vomit blood in frustration.
The Celestial Demon Crown Scion saw Chu Chaoyun standing on a cloud and the Evil Shadow Sword flying towards him. When it was about to pa.s.s him, Chu Chaoyun stretched out a hand and caught its hilt.
Such a situation made it seem like the Evil Shadow Sword flew into his hand on its own volition.
With a flip of his left hand, a sword box appeared. His actions seemed practiced as he deftly placed the Evil Shadow Sword, which was struggling intensely, into that mysterious sword box.
The overwhelming Demonic Might and the Evil Shadow Sword with the icy sword intent were immediately sealed away.
The entire series of actions was as smooth as flowing water, as if Chu Chaoyun had rehea.r.s.ed it a countless number of times and waited for this moment. If others were here, they would have no doubt that this was his sword.
After completing all this, Chu Chaoyun turned his head and noticed the stupefied Celestial Demon Crown Scion. Then, he showed a shocked expression and asked incredulously, "Brother Celestial Demon, what are you doing here?"
What am I doing here?
Indeed, what am I doing here? The Celestial Demon Crown Scion, who was nearly angered into madness, got careless. His Qi and blood surged, and he could no longer suppress the internal injuries he sustained earlier. Then, he vomited a mouthful of blood.
However, the more frustrated the Celestial Demon Crown Scion got, the more blood he vomited.
The blood spurted out like a sword. Chu Chaoyun frowned and used the sword box to s.h.i.+eld his face. The blood immediately stained the sword box.
After vomiting the blood, the Celestial Demon Crown Scion felt much better. Then, he shouted, "Chu Chaoyun, I should be the one asking you that! Why are you asking me what I am doing here? What are you doing here?!"
Chu Chaoyun smiled and patted the sword box. Then, he said, "I"m here to retrieve my family"s sword. Look, I"m pretty lucky. After being buried for several tens of thousands of years, I actually could still find it. Looks like my grandfather"s grandfather did not cheat me."
"Your family"s sword?"
The Celestial Demon Crown Scion laughed loudly and said, "Chu Chaoyun, I think you must really be tired of living to dare to s.n.a.t.c.h the Demon Sword. Even if you are the Dark Church"s Envoy, if the eighteen Demon Monarchs want to censure you, the Dark Church Master won"t be able to save you!"
Chu Chaoyun said extremely seriously, "You are wrong. I"m here only to take a family heirloom. From the beginning to the end, I never partic.i.p.ated in the struggle for the Demon Sword. You, the Celestial Demon Crown Scion, managed to obtain the Evil Shadow Sword. Congratulations!"
What does he mean?
The Celestial Demon Crown Scion"s head was full of questions. The other party clearly obtained the sword, so why did the other party say that he obtained it?
While the Celestial Demon Crown Scion was working through his doubts, Chu Chaoyun, who looked carefree and harmless, showed a faint smile and suddenly attacked. Chu Chaoyun"s palm wind was as quick as lightning, his figure moving equally fast. Then, he struck the Celestial Demon Crown Scion in the chest.
The Celestial Demon Crown Scion"s figure quickly pierced through the black clouds and flew downwards. The demonic clouds covering the sky gathered at his chest, the mysterious phenomenon startling and looking mighty.
"He obtained it. This is the mysterious phenomenon that will materialize when the Demon Sword recognizes a master!"
The Demon Crown Scions below and the Demon cultivators were full of smiles, all of them wild with joy. Although there had been many setbacks along the way with all sorts of unexpected events, they still managed to obtain the most important Evil Shadow Sword.
