The demons were enraged and went on a rampage, searching every inch of the Extreme Sword Demon Slaying Association. However, the association knew very well that the demons would definitely go crazy at this time. After all, they had suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, the association gave up on many strongholds and went into hiding, making it difficult for the demons to find them. They were waiting for an opportunity to make a move and cause trouble for the demons after the commotion died down.
Even though the Devil Race's army was mobilized, they still couldn't find any traces of the Extreme Sword Demon Slayers Assembly. However, the furious Devil Race wouldn't give up just like that. They used all kinds of methods to search for it.
Jitian Jiandi's, Duan Guchun's, and Azure Dragon Sword Sovereign's sword dao were all passed down to Chen Zong. This was because they weren't sure if they could survive against the demons. If they died, then their self-created sword dao would be lost. It was undoubtedly a loss.
However, they didn't want their sword dao to be passed down casually and tarnish their reputation.
Without a doubt, Chen Zong was the most suitable candidate. They didn't ask Chen Zong to take them as their master. They just hoped that Chen Zong could pass down their sword dao. If there was a suitable candidate in the future, he could also pass it down on behalf of his master.
Just like that, Chen Zong received the three sword daos a little speechlessly. These three sword daos were peerless inheritances to any cultivator in the Canglan Continent. They would make them go wild with joy. If they spread out, it would definitely set off a storm of blood.
However, it wasn't that important to Chen Zong.
After all, the difference between the Canglan Continent and the Lingwu Sacred World was very obvious. It was a difference in essence. Therefore, although these three sword daos were the life's work of three experts, they really couldn't compare to the cultivation of the Lingwu Sacred World.
But then again, the three sword daos each had their own strengths.
Whether it was the technique of exerting force, the concept, or the various mysteries, they all had their merits.
For example, Duan Guchun's sword dao carried a trace of heaven's might. Its might was astonishing and grand.
Azure Dragon Sword Sovereign's sword dao was like a dragon in the sky. It was agile and swift, possessing both form and spirit.
Jitian Jiandi's Way of the Sword required a high degree of concentration of essence, energy, and spirit. Once the sword was unleashed, it would kill without any hesitation.
Chen Zong only needed to absorb the essence and use it for himself.
In the Extreme Sword Demon Slayers Meeting, Chen Zong was comprehending the essence of the three Sword Daos.
As the sword slashed out, there was a faint trace of a terrifying aura condensing. As the sword slashed down from the sky, that trace of aura had yet to condense, but it was already in its embryonic form, like the majesty of the heavens.
Sword after sword, the heavenly might on the swords became more and more condensed.
He slashed out again, causing rumbling sounds to surge. It was as if the heavens were furious. Lightning raged and carried the might of the heavens as it struck down from the sky and crushed everything.
Soon after, the sword spun and moved nimbly like a swimming dragon, controlling the sky.
Sword after sword, it was as if a dragon was controlling the nine heavens and roaming the four seas.
The Roaming Dragons disappeared into the surroundings one by one. Chen Zong's expression was cold and solemn. His eyes were focused and filled with killing intent. His essence, energy, and spirit were highly concentrated in that instant. The seven Spirit Wheels in his body were rotating at the fastest speed, spurting out an astonishing amount of spiritual power.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering sound came from Chen Zong's body. In an instant, all of his spiritual power was poured into the Cold Edge Sword.
His essence, energy, and spirit were highly concentrated. All of his power was poured into the sword. Chen Zong only felt that the sword in his hand could pierce and shatter everything.
Very powerful!
Very powerful!
The power poured into the sword in a strange way, shaking and impacting.
Kill!
The Ultimate Heaven Move!
The man and the sword became one. In an instant, the arm disappeared, and so did the sword. Only a cold light pierced through the sky.
The cold light pierced through the sky, and then strangled the space in front of it, turning it into a vacuum.
The power of this sword was so shocking and extreme that it surprised Chen Zong. When the sword came out, Chen Zong also felt that his body paused for a moment.
The power of the Ultimate Heaven Move was indeed shocking and terrifying. But at the same time, it had an obvious weakness, which was the momentary pause.
For a powerhouse, that momentary pause was enough to decide many things.
It seemed that the Ultimate Heaven Move was only suitable for a one-on-one battle. If there were more enemies, the consequences would be very dangerous.
Chen Zong also had a deeper understanding. The so-called fusion of essence, energy, and spirit in this sword was not the kind of fusion that he understood before. The fusion that Chen Zong understood was like the change of mind. The fusion that Chen Zong understood was the fusion of essence, energy, and spirit into a new force to become more powerful.
But the Ultimate Heaven Sword Principle was different. Essence, energy, and spirit were only auxiliary. It meant that the mind was highly concentrated and locked on to the target. Only the target, the sword would hit the target.
For a moment, all kinds of ideas flashed in Chen Zong's mind, but it was a little chaotic.
But after Chen Zong's soul liquefied, he became more powerful, and his comprehension was even more amazing. With his superb comprehension, Chen Zong absorbed the advantages of the three Sword Principles and gradually integrated them into himself.
Chen Zong's Sword Principle had always been about tolerance. He could absorb all the essence for his own use.
But Chen Zong himself did not realize that his Sword Principle was too heterogeneous.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. In this half a month, the people of the Ultimate Sword Demon Slayers did not move. Instead, they hid themselves completely, and the Demon Race could not find any trace of them.
"Since we can't find them, we'll force them out." A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe that seemed to have black snakes coiling around it raised his sharp and gloomy eyes and said in an indifferent tone.
"Ban Zhongquan, what are you plotting? Tell us." The Blood Prison Demon's voice was filled with killing intent.
Ban Zhongquan could be considered an accomplice. He had sided with the Demon Path and the Demon Race. But the Blood Prison Demon actually looked down on him. He was a traitor, a traitor who had betrayed his own race.
Therefore, the Blood Prison Demon was not polite with his words.
Ban Zhongquan acted as if he didn't hear the impoliteness in the Blood Prison Demon's words and continued to speak.
"Behead the people we've captured and spread the news. With Duan Guchun's temperament, he'll definitely show up to save us." Ban Zhongquan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
There was no need for further words. The two Demon Emperors understood what he meant.
Previously, the Demon Race's army, or rather Ban Zhongquan's Skyscraper Association, had indeed captured a group of people. Some of them were from the Skyscraper Association, while the others were from other factions in Bright Sword Continent. There weren't many of them, less than a hundred. However, they were all at least in the Earth Spirit Realm, and some were in the Profound Sky Realm.
Ban Zhongquan had not killed them all this time because he thought that they might come in handy one day. Now, it seemed that he had been right to prepare for a rainy day.
"As expected of the vicious person who killed his master. He's even more vicious than us demons." Blood Prison Demon cackled strangely.
Ban Zhongquan's expression didn't change in the slightest, as if he hadn't heard anything at all. However, a trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes. Shocking killing intent surged wildly in the depths of his heart, but it was firmly sealed away and not leaked out in the slightest.
In just a few sentences, he had decided on a plan to deal with the Extreme Sword Demon Slayers Association. Or rather, a plan to deal with Duan Guchun.
Duan Guchun was one of the Association's leaders. If he showed up, he wouldn't be able to deal with the Association at all.
… …
"Old Duan, this is a scheme of the demons. Their goal is to lure you out and draw out the Extreme Sword Demon Slayers Association," Jitian Jiandi said gravely.
"I know." Duan Guchun said straightforwardly. However, just as Jitian Jiandi's expression was about to relax, Duan Guchun spoke again. "Even if I know, I must go."
Some of the people who were about to be publicly beheaded were from the Primal Empyrean Society. As the leader of the Primal Empyrean Society, he couldn't just leave them be.
"You …" Jitian Jiandi's eyes widened, a cold glint shooting out of them as he opened his mouth to speak again.
"Don't try to persuade me. I must go." Duan Guchun stared seriously at Jitian Jiandi as he spoke word by word. His voice was deep, powerful, and unquestionable.
Jitian Jiandi stared blankly at Duan Guchun, then smiled. "Fine, let's go together."
"You …" This time, it was Duan Guchun's turn to be flabbergasted.
"This bunch of demonic b * stards. How dare they decapitate our Human Race in public? They are too insolent. My sword will not allow this to happen." The Ultimate Heaven Sword Emperor said seriously.
"We may not return from this trip," Duan Guchun said.
"Then let's go on a killing spree." Jitian Jiandi laughed heartily.
After a few words, the two came to a decision. They summoned Sword Sovereign Azure Dragon, Chen Zong, and all the high-ranking elders.
Sword Sovereign Azure Dragon, Chen Zong, and the others already knew about the public beheading and guessed that the two leaders had summoned them because of this.
"Leader, give the order. Let's go on a killing spree," a hot-tempered elder roared with murderous intent.
"That's right. Let's go on a killing spree."
"Even if we die, let's kill to our hearts' content."
The hot-tempered elders all voiced their opinions.
These days of hiding in the dark were actually very depressing.
"Everyone, don't be impatient." Duan Guchun spoke and explained his and Jitian Jiandi's plan. "This trip, we don't know if we'll survive. If we don't return, the Extreme Sword Demon Slayers will have to rely on your leadership."
"I hereby announce that Sword Sovereign Azure Dragon will be the acting leader. He will be in charge of the Extreme Sword Demon Slayers on behalf of me and Jitian Jiandi.
For a moment, everyone fell silent. The atmosphere was stifling.
"Alright, it's decided." Duan Guchun made the final decision.
The two emperors wanted to rescue them, but everyone knew that this was a trap set by the demons. If they went, they would be walking right into a trap.
However, despite knowing this, they still went ahead without hesitation.
Were they stupid?
Were they stupid?
Yet, they were admirable.
Despite knowing it was impossible, they still did it!
Faith!
From Duan Guchun and Jitian Jiandi's words and expressions, Chen Zong felt a kind of faith. Suddenly, his heart was touched. This touch made Chen Zong realize that he lacked a kind of faith.
Why did he practice martial arts?
Why did he wield a sword?
Chen Zong had always felt that his goal was clear. Hence, he had been moving forward. But now, he suddenly felt a little lost.
Faith!
However, this lost feeling quickly disappeared. At this moment, he couldn't allow his mind to wander.
After the announcement, Duan Guchun and Jitian Jiandi immediately left. Because the day of public execution was approaching, they had to make some preparations.
Despite knowing that it was a trap, despite knowing that they would most likely die if they went, they couldn't let go of any chance of survival.
Hence, it was necessary to make preparations to increase their chances of survival.
