Chapter 242: Do You Think There’s No One Here?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Do you really think there’s no one here?”
In the sky above, the Third Prince of the Golden Crow Clan stared coldly at Tang Huo, the Third Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect. Killing intent bloomed in the depths of his eyes.
“Jin Huo, attack!”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Below, a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse exuded a terrifying aura. His energy was as unfathomable as the abyss, terrifying as a deity. Gripping a golden longsword, he stepped up into the sky. Wherever he pa.s.sed, the tremors shook out tens of thousands of sword lights, as if wanting to shred the heavens and earth.
At the same time, Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses from other factions also attacked from various directions. They naturally did not wish to see the Infinite Demon Sect monopolize the Scripture Pavilion of the G.o.d Demon Sect.
“The Infinite Demon Sect has offended everyone,” chuckled a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse from the Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect.
One could discern from the name that the G.o.d Demon Sect was a sect specializing in body refinement. Regarding cultivation methods, they shared many similarities with the Infinite Demon Sect. If the Infinite Demon Sect could obtain their preserved cultivation inheritance, the benefits would be immeasurable.
But that was exactly why the Infinite Demon Sect must not acquire the inheritance. What’s more, their conduct had been utterly unsightly, wanting to seize all the benefits for themselves, not considering the other present factions at all. Even the Third Prince of the Golden Crow Clan was displeased. The Infinite Demon Sect’s actions were infuriating.
“During the fight over the Black Tortoise’s blood essence, the Infinite Demon Sect lost an elder. Now only these few remain, simply unable to withstand the siege from all sides,” commented a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse, shaking his head. “For Tang Huo to do this, it’s really somewhat unwise!”
“However… Speaking of which, the matter of the Black Tortoise’s blood essence should be completely settled now, right? Why hasn’t Fellow Daoist Su Chen come over yet?” muttered the Heavenly Heart Holy Son, gazing up at the sky.
Several minutes had pa.s.sed since the formation was broken, yet Su Chen still remained unseen. It seemed he had no intention of coming at all, never showing himself from the start, as if relinquishing the opportunity here.
“The Great Mystery Holy Son has already become a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse. If he comes, I’m afraid an even more spectacular Quasi-Saint Realm battle will erupt here!” said an old man from the Heavenly Heart Sacred Sect solemnly.
Boom!
Right after he finished speaking, in the distance, a fist light pierced through the clouds like a dazzling meteor, smashing towards the gigantic hand covering and obscuring the skies.
Bang!
A deafening rumble resounded. Some of the weaker cultivators painfully covered their ears. But even so, they still felt unwell.
When they settled the turbulent blood and Qi in their bodies and looked up again, they saw the ma.s.sive hand that had spanned a radius of a thousand miles had already vanished from the sky and earth. The sky regained its clarity.
In the sky above, Tang Huo was dressed in long black robes. His aged visage seemed somewhat gloomy and uncertain. His hawk-like eyes stared coldly ahead.
“What happened?”
“Which supreme expert of some faction made a move?”
“This is…”
Many present were astonished. Even Jin Huo from the Golden Crow Clan and the other Quasi-Saint Realm experts knitted their brows slightly.
In that instant just now, they had been prepared to attack. Yet at the final moment, a fist light directly shattered their intention to make a move.
At the same time, it had also disrupted the actions of Tang Huo, the Third Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect. Since Tang Huo was obstructed, they no longer had any reason to continue attacking either.
“Could it be that the Imperial Lord of Dasui has arrived?” someone muttered to himself.
Looking over the entire ruins, the only one with the strength to crush Tang Huo’s attack was the Imperial Lord of Dasui, whose might matched his. That man was the same as Tang Huo. Both were at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, only a single step from the Saint Realm! He could even transcend the Saint Tribulation and become a Saint Realm powerhouse at any moment.
“Not necessarily!”
“The founding emperor behind the Imperial Lord of Dasui was a great emperor. Therefore, the Dasui Empire possesses an Emperor’s Scripture. They do not care for ordinary cultivation methods at all.”
“While the inheritance of the G.o.d Demon Sect is decent, that is only in our eyes. There is no need for that Imperial Lord of Dasui to come to s.n.a.t.c.h the cultivation methods and divine powers left behind by the G.o.d Demon Sect.”
Just as everyone was debating, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky above. As soon as it appeared, it enveloped all directions.
Immediately after, several silhouettes flew over from the distance. Their speed was swift. In but a blink, they had arrived before the crowd.
“That’s…”
“Su… Su Chen!”
“Su Chen of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect!”
“He’s here!”
“Not surprised at all!”
Cries of astonishment rang out. Only to see Su Chen at the forefront, clad in purple robes with his black hair draped over his shoulders. His skin was as l.u.s.trous as jade, and his every movement emitted terrifying might.
Beside him were Ye Ruxue, Qin Hao, and Cao Yun amongst others. As for the Imperial Lord of Dasui and the rest, they had already departed after only helping Su Chen and were not his subordinates. With the Black Tortoise’s blood essence obtained, they had bid farewell and left.
“The Holy Son is here!”
When the Great Mystery Sacred Sect disciples saw Su Chen arrive, their eyes lit up as they bowed respectfully towards him.
Before Su Chen’s arrival, they were like invisible people, only daring to stand at the periphery watching the spectacle. After all, most of those present were Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses. Their cultivation bases were too low. If they approached rashly, they might not even know how they died.
But now Su Chen was here, everything would be different. What was more, the current Su Chen was already a Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouse himself. With Su Chen present, it was equivalent to having a mighty backer. They no longer needed to read others’ faces when taking action.
“Su Chen has grudges with most people here. Now that he’s come, there’s sure to be a good show!” said a young man in Yin Yang Daoist robes with a smile. He was the Holy Son of the Yin Yang Holy Land. Although quite strong himself, he still stood behind the four Quasi-Saint Realm elders of the Yin Yang Holy Land.
Together they const.i.tuted a formidable force not to be underestimated. But currently, they had no intention of making a move at all. They bore no grudges against Su Chen. No matter who they helped now or tried to seize the Scripture Pavilion, they would become the first to stand out. It was better to wait for the dust to settle before acting.
“Su Chen!”
At this moment, a furious roar rang out. Only to see the Third Elder of the Infinite Demon Sect, Tang Huo, with an icy expression as he stared at Su Chen and spoke solemnly, “You killed an elder of my Infinite Demon Sect, yet 1 haven’t gone to settle scores with you. Didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to my door! Today, 1 will use your blood to unlock the Scripture Pavilion’s b.l.o.o.d.y battle!”
“I’m here!”
Hearing this, everyone’s hearts shuddered. The crowd took the initiative to retreat. They were well aware of the enmity between the Infinite Demon Sect and Su Chen. There was bound to be a confrontation between the two sides.
If Su Chen had not come today, this battle might have dragged on indefinitely, possibly even ending inconclusively. However, with Su Chen taking the initiative to come to their doorstep, the Infinite Demon Sect would surely not let the matter rest.
Furthermore, Su Chen’s punch had crushed the Infinite Demon Sect’s ambitions.. This battle was sure to be intensely exciting!
