Chapter 967: Authentic Demon!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Compared to the soldiers, the sea of demons now were in a worse condition. They caught fire in the golden light. When their skins had burnt up, they all vanished.
The soldiers recovered from the shock, all pleasantly surprised. It must be some strong man that has pa.s.sed by and rescued them. Soon, they saw the strong man landing slowly. He was holding a scripture book, which was giving off golden lights.
This man had the stern look of the Buddha. Seeing him, people had the impulse to kneel down to wors.h.i.+p him. He was certainly Jiang Chen. The eight groups of spiritual beings in his hand were the demons’ nemesis. After getting strengthened, the Buddha’s light alone was enough to deal with the sea of demons.
Closing his eyes, he read the scriptures silently. A vast Buddha’s power was injected into the bodies of Azure Demon and the black dragon. The two transformed to deva and naga, jumping to the celestial demons in the sea of demons. Soon, the crisis the Iron Dragon Army had been facing was resolved.
Exciting cheers came from the s.h.i.+p.
“Gosh, this man is so young.”
People saw Jiang Chen’s face when he was landing on the s.h.i.+p. They were all surprised. Jiang Chen, about 14 or 15 years old, was not many years older than their own kids. However, after having seen Jiang Chen’s strength, they all knew age did not matter.
“Is he that man? Jiang Chen’s younger brother?” Mu Xuan murmured.
A few years ago, he had wanted Jiang Chen to join his Direct Battalion, but Jiang Chen chose to join the Red Flame Battalion. He had thought Jiang Chen would not have a bright future, but, to his surprise, Jiang Chen became the Marquis Champion of the dynasty.
“Jiang Chen’s younger brother?” His daughter was more surprised.
When Jiang Chen left, she laughed at Jiang Chen for his ignorance, since he did not know how to cherish good opportunities. However, Jiang Chen had distinguished himself many times in the military. She was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a cave and be left alone. She did not dare show up before Jiang Chen at all.
“What’s that?!” Suddenly, some people found there were not only celestial demons in the sea of demons. There was also a demon that looked completely like a human. This one did not have any hair. His skin was dark purple, and he had the scarlet eyes of the demon.
“Authentic demon!”
“Gosh. He is really an authentic demon!”
“Unbelievable. It’s impossible. Once an authentic demon shows up in the world, so many people will be killed that their blood will flow into a river!”
The soldiers on the s.h.i.+p were all shocked. The pleasant surprise was gone. They thought of the great strengths of authentic demons that they had read about in history books. They were afraid Jiang Chen would not be able to resist the authentic demon.
Is this a great disaster? Jiang Chen thought involuntarily.
He was scared as well when he had seen the sea of demons appear outside the Alien Battlefield.The demons were driven there so that they would not run away. Otherwise the Nine Realms would have troubles again.
However, now even an authentic demon had shown up. Jiang Chen knew they were going to have big trouble. Suddenly, the eight groups of spiritual beings were shaking. It was not for the fear of the authentic demon. It was for eagerness. By then the eight groups of beings only had deva and naga. However, the Buddha’s power it contained could allow more groups of beings. They at least needed two more groups of beings to completely exert the power of the eight groups of spiritual beings.
“So, let’s subdue him.”
Throwing the scripture book into air, Jiang Chen dashed over with both swords in his hands, not afraid of the sea of demons at all.
“Once I eat you, I’ll become a b.l.o.o.d.y demon!”
The authentic demon was super-excited when perceiving the energy of Jiang Chen’s body. He had the Buddhist mind and the Taoist temperament. And he had a divine body. A drop of divine blood could make people immortal. It was extremely attractive to the Demon.
The Demon had never been liked by other races, because demons of higher grades were interested in enslaving other races. Low-grade demons were what Jiang Chen was seeing, the sea of demons. Above these low-grade demons were celestial demons. However, celestial demons were still not demon demons.
The celestial demons people usually talked about were demon lords of the Alien Battlefield. They could manipulate the sea of demons. Above them were authentic demons. Demons of this level were intelligent and ambitious. This ambition came from their deepest desires. They wanted to keep killing and intruding.
If the Ancient Race was arrogant, the Demons were evil.
…..
Back to the story—the authentic demon was staring at Jiang Chen in the way a strong human pract.i.tioner would look at an immortal elixir. However, when he laid his eyes on the eight groups of spiritual beings Jiang Chen was holding, he was afraid and unhappy.
The Buddha was the Demon’s nemesis. It was almost common sense, but not many people knew why.
History books say authentic demons’ strength is between Star Venerables and Martial Emperors. Jiang Chen thought. He realized his rival could be more difficult to deal with than the Holy Wings King. He would have lost his confidence if he did not have the eight groups of spiritual beings, the Buddhist mind, and the Taoist temperament.
The authentic demon, thinking himself at an advantage, certainly would not let go of Jiang Chen. His small skinny body was horribly fast. He came up to Jiang Chen instantly. His hands could be compared to iron claws. They hit against the Heavenly Fault Sword. Sparks were created, but they were not broken.
The Heavenly Fault Sword was an Artifact Sword. Jiang Chen was really shocked. If he was scratched by these claws, he would not be able to resist them in spite of his divine body.
On the other hand, the authentic demon was shocked too. In his opinion, he should have smashed the sword into pieces. Then the authentic demon went even madder. As fast as a ghost, he was walking in the air.
“Buddha’s Grace Illuminates All!”
Holding the eight groups of spiritual beings high, Jiang Chen did not change his way of resisting, expecting to cope with s.h.i.+fting events by sticking to a fundamental principle. The pure and vast Buddha’s light rose like the sun, glaring more than ever now.
The authentic demon had nowhere to escape. Fire started to burn his skin. However, the authentic demon was as fast as always. That was how tough they were. He launched a powerful attack. His movements seemed random. He was just attacking at will without strategies. However, if one took a closer look, his movements were actually quite neat. Every movement was to the point. The formless was the best form, with infinite changes and traceless.
This was the Demon’s talent. They did not have to learn this specifically. They were natural-born fighting geniuses. The terrible thing was that the Demon could also practice martial techniques, and they were quite talented for that too. Fortunately, this authentic demon had never practiced any martial technique. He was still quite primitive.
Jiang Chen threw both of his swords over, with Azure Demon and the black dragon helping him, but they still could not trap the authentic demon.
Jiang Chen seemed to be at an advantage, but actually the authentic demon could come and go at will. His small body was not only fast, but also very hard. Even Artifact Swords could not injure him severely.
“Wind and Fire Swords Wheel!”
Jiang Chen exerted his best sword movement. Its power was among the top three of all of his trump cards. The authentic demon did not know how powerful it was. Neither parrying nor fleeing, he confronted the swords wheel face to face. The swords wheel intended to tear him into thousands of pieces.
However, in the end, the authentic demon was still alive. He was just injured to some extent. Irritated, he became more and more horrifying. The demon blood seeping out of his skin did not drop. Instead, it transformed to demon lines on his skin.
The more severely an authentic demon is injured, the more horrifying his fighting power will be. This is why they are so dreadful. Jiang Chen could not help but think.
An authentic demon was in his prime when he was dying. That was when he was the strongest. The demon were also very cruel. Their enemies usually trembled with fear when hearing of them.
It’s almost impossible to subdue him. Jiang Chen realized how difficult it would be. Throwing the wars.h.i.+p down there a glance, he involuntarily said, “Leave as soon as possible.” Mu Xuan also realized how tricky the situation was. He decided without hesitation to abandon the s.h.i.+p and leave.
