Chapter 96 – Where Did These People Go, Thinking It's Still Under Control
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Several demonic cultivators were suspended in midair without being able to move a single muscle!
Such spatial manipulations, which could only be done by a cultivator of Paradise Realm and above, were not a simple trick that any of these Golden Core cultivators could escape from. They were all in a state of panic.
Without uttering a single word, Chu Kuangren raised his hands and invoked an Avarice Technique.
The demonic cultivators were instantly sucked into an Avarice dimension, endured the pain and tortured that pierced through their flesh and skins as their wails echoed throughout the s.p.a.ce.
Whoosh…
Flying in from afar, Lan Yu landed beside Chu Kuangren. Her body was still radiating an oppressive murderous aura. "Master, the remaining one has been dealt with."
"Alright, let's go."
Lan Yu nodded gently.
"Thank you, our savior! Thank you!"
Behind them were the cheerings of countless citizens.
Even so, Chu Kuangren did not look back. Ever since he stepped foot into Northern Lingdao, he had gotten used to such a scene long ago.
After leaving the village, Chu Kuangren continued on his journey towards Northern Lingdao, where several sky rides from various sage orthodoxies were already gathering there.
However, there was something that puzzled Chu Kuangren……
Throughout his journey, most of what he had witnessed were refugees scattering around while the demonic cultivators caused rampant chaos wherever they went.
It was rare to see any sage orthodoxies mobilizing their cultivators to save the day.
Did they not agree to an operation to eradicate these demonic cultivators?
Did the sage orthodoxies not send anyone into battle?
Where were they?
Where did these people go?
Chu Kuangren did not ask Seventh Forefather about the number of people the Black Heaven Sect had sent because deep down, he already had a good estimate of the answer.
In a city within Northern Lingdao, a group of demonic cultivators was causing widespread chaos as they went on a murdering rampage and looted countless resources from the city.
Refugees were running wildly on the streets.
Some demonic cultivators had murdered an entire family just for a piece of soulstone, while some vented their primal l.u.s.t on women, and some even tortured citizens to their death to retrieve their souls and enhance their demonic weapons…
What was once a city had quickly become h.e.l.l.
Meanwhile, Nangong Huang was leading a few cultivators to defend against the enemies.
Upon the brandis.h.i.+ng of a sacred sword, Daoist Rhymes filled the air as sword rays shot out like a thunderous waterfall, instantly slicing a demonic slayer into half.
"This is not good. There's too many of them." Nangong Huang seemed troubled. They were clearly outnumbered by the demonic cultivators.
"This is horrible. The other sage orthodoxies didn't even send reinforcements. How're we able to defeat them with just a few of us?" Mu Rongxuan came up to Nangong Huang and said.
"d.a.m.n it. Even if there weren't any casualties from the Demon Vow Sect, it's impossible for them to send this many reinforcements. These cultivators are not only from the Demon Vow Sect, they must be from other demonic orthodoxies too!"
"The temptation is sure huge when it comes to a Supreme Demonic Honorable treasure."
At that very moment.
A large cloud of sword Qi began to ama.s.s above the sky, forming twelve long sword Qi pillars which were surrounded by Daoist symbols and it locked the entire city within!
"What power is this?"
"Who's this?!"
Immediately, every cultivator could feel a huge sense of oppressive energy and several demonic cultivators became even more frightened.
Nan Gonghuang and Mu Rongxuan looked at each other with joy glimmering in their eyes.
"It's the Nine Heaven Sword Prison. Our Elder Senior Brother is here!"
"Finally, Elder Senior Brother has arrived."
Amid the cloud, a figure dressed
In the blink of an eye, copious amounts of sword Qi flowed within the Nine Heaven Sword Prison before it precisely targeted the locations of the demonic cultivators, killing them off one by one!
The demonic cultivators who had been indulging in their murderous l.u.s.ts were now overwhelmed with the fear of death as they pleaded for their lives.
"No, no!"
"d.a.m.n it! What kind of a person is he?!"
Boom!
A hunchback elder had broken free from the suppression of the Nine Heaven Sword Prison. As he channeled his spiritual energy, he dashed towards Chu Kuangren.
"Now, die for me!"
He pushed his palm forward and it transformed into a terrifying black gigantic palm.
It was a full-force attack from a peak Battle Monarch!
At the end of a street, a black-haired brute man had broken free of the suppression of the Nine Heaven Sword Prison by striking the air with a large sword.
"This is a sword object transformation. If we don't kill this person, we'll never escape from here. Howling Ghost Technique! Charge!" On the other end, a white-haired old woman let out a malicious laugh. Channeling her spiritual energy, a ma.s.s of black mist formed into the shape of a large skull that charged towards Chu Kuangren.
At that moment, the strengths from three peak Battle Monarchies were locked onto Chu Kuangren!
In the city, the demonic cultivators were elated.
"It's Granny Ghost, Bloodsword, and the Yin Mountain Elder! They are all reputable cultivators amongst the demonic orthodoxies!"
"That's great! With their combined strengths, they could surely defeat that b.a.s.t.a.r.d."
"Not bad, we're finally saved."
"A puny brat like him isn't enough to stop us."
Against the three demonic cultivators' incoming attacks, Chu Kuangren maintained the utmost calm composure in mid-air. It was until a sudden flow of mythical Daoist Rhymes danced around him before it slowly transformed into a garden of white lotuses.
The white lotuses swirled around the air, feeding on the pure energy that radiated from Chu Kuangren.
When the three incoming attacks came, it landed on the white lotuses, but upon their impacts, there were no earthshaking explosions. Instead, its violent energies were purified by the white lotuses — absorbed and disintegrated.
Like the summer rain, their energies were cleansed.
If an Honorable had a difficult time breaking through the defenses of the White Lotus Purification, what more for these demonic cultivators who were only at the Battle Monarch realms?
"Impossible!"
"How did he do that? What technique is that?"
The three demonic cultivators were instantly shocked.
"That's not good. Run!" The black-haired brute immediately realized that he was no match for Chu Kuangren, so he went for an escape.
However, since his physical body was still within the Nine Heaven Sword Prison, there was no way he could escape!
Chu Kuangren raised his eyes and the Self Descendant Holy Sword materialized on his hand. With a wave of his hand, a stream of purple sword ray immediately erupted and flew straight towards the demonic cultivator.
Fierce and swift, the sword ray was absolutely destructive!
The black-haired brute turned around and attempted to block the attack with his sword, but with a clear slas.h.i.+ng sound, the brute was instantly cut into half along with his sword.
In a second, a peak Battle Monarch was murdered with the stroke of a sword!
Such unprecedented combat power certainly frightened the rest of the demonic cultivators.
Moreover, it had also riled up the excitements of the Black Heaven Sect's disciples.
"Elder Senior Brother, you're awesome!"
"It's been a while since I last saw him, but Elder Senior Brother certainly improved really quickly!"
Then came another two strokes of the sword.
The Elder of Yin Mountain and Granny Ghost were also defeated with the same technique, and for the rest of the demonic cultivators, their fates had also been sealed.
Within the confinement of the Nine Heaven Sword Prison, the demonic cultivators were slain one by one. Their wails and screams could be heard throughout as their demon blood dyed the floors of the main streets…
The residents observed the entire scene with no sympathy at all. All they felt at the moment was a deep-rooted hatred for the demonic cultivators. Deep down, they wished they could be the ones to kill off these cultivators who had harmed their families and friends…
A few moments later, the entire city was completely cleared off from demonic cultivators.
"Elder Senior Brother." Nangong Huang walked towards Chu Kuangren and greeted him.
"Why is it only a few of you? Where are the rest?"
"They're all at Mountain River City."
"The demonic cultivators were rampaging throughout the city. Why didn't they come out? Didn't we decide to have an operation?" Chu Kuangren asked coldly.
Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and a few looked at each other as their eyes burned with anger. "They're busy enjoying themselves. Why would they care about this?"
"What happened?"
"They thought that the situation was still under control at Northern Lingdao and they wouldn't gain as much credit if they acted immediately. So they wanted to wait until the situation blew up a little before they made their way here! What a bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!" Murong Xuan said angrily.
Chu Kuangren was not surprised at all. He secretly sighed… So he was right.
"Seventh Forefather, when the Demon Vow Sect arrived a few thousand years ago, was it the same situation with these sage orthodoxies?"
Then, Chu Kuangren finally asked Seventh Forefather the question he had long kept within.
