The Demonic Emperor's Sword was on par with the Demonic Emperor's Seal, the strongest weapon of the Demon Monarch. It was just a moment ago that the Demonic Emperor had said that the Demonic Emperor's Sword could command the entire Demon Tribe … so why would it appear here?
Everyone quickly turned their gazes toward the two newcomers.
The one holding the sword was dressed in a green robe and had a moustache. Not only did he not look authoritative, he even looked a little comical like a mouse. On the other hand, the other person was bare-handed. He did not have any artifacts on him, but the energy that he harnessed within his body left one's heart palpitating.
True Immortal!
The two of them were actually True Immortals … It was no wonder why they were able to slip through the seal and arrive here without anyone noticing!
"Retreat! Prepare your defenses!"
Gu Yunqiu bellowed with narrowed eyes.
Weren't there no True Immortals on the Forsaken Continent? Why would two True Immortals appear right after Qiong Yuan and the scholar appeared? Furthermore, they were both from the Demon Tribe?
Since when did such a powerful expert become so worthless? Why would they appear in batches?
Huala!
Even without Gu Yunqiu's instructions, the crowd knew what to do. The hall masters, Gu Ling'er, and the others quickly rose to their feet and gripped their weapons tightly, forming a defensive formation.
"We're only here to kill Gu Ling'er and the three demonic beasts. It has nothing to do with the others … However, if you wish to die, I'll grant you your wish!"
The green-robed middle-aged man said with a smile.
These people wielded unparalleled strength on the Dry Origin Continent, but in his eyes, they were nothing more than ants!
"Get into formation!"
Gu Yunqiu bellowed grimly. "Decimating Abyss City has a defensive formation and tens of thousands of human warriors. Even if you are True Immortals, you won't be able to escape if you kill us …"
"Escape? Do you think you can stop us if we want to leave? Hmph, since you don't know what's good for you, you can just die! "
The green-robed middle-aged man harrumphed coldly as he brought his sword down.
Space and the seal were torn apart as if they were made of paper. Before the sword qi could even land, everyone in the room already felt suffocated. It was as if they were trapped underwater, unable to breathe at all.
Even before the sword arrived, the Sword Intent had already sucked away all of the spiritual energy in the surroundings … Even among True Immortals, the green-robed middle-aged man could be considered one of the top experts. He was even more frightening than the scholar!
"Seal!"
With a pale face, Gu Yunqiu also sent a sword flying out. Feng Zhangxi, Shen Moping, Tao Xuchen, and the other seven hall masters also made their moves simultaneously, and their sword qi formed a massive defensive wall.
Weng!
When the two collided, the great hall was directly torn apart. Countless seals were broken.
Seals were the same as fishing nets. There was no problem in catching small fish, but under the impact of big fish, no matter how tough the nylon rope was, it would still be torn apart.
The Assembly Hall's seal was considered extremely strong, but it still couldn't stop the other party's sword!
Terrifying!
The Sword Qi stopped, and blood flowed out from the corners of the eight Hall Masters' mouths.
Even though they managed to block the attack, they were still damaged.
Hu hu hu!
The commotion caused by the collapse of the main hall was simply too great. Immediately, countless cultivators flew over.
"All of you, retreat!"
Knowing that even they would not be able to stop them, these people would only be sending themselves to their deaths, Gu Yunqiu shouted loudly.
"This …" The crowd halted their actions. Even though they were unwilling to do so, they dared not disobey the orders of their hall master. Thus, they hurriedly backed away, disappearing from sight.
"At least they are still responsible!"
Seeing this sight, the green-robed middle-aged man laughed heartily. He took a step forward and said, "To be able to block my sword, you do have some capabilities. However … I have only used thirty percent of my strength. Now, I'm going to use my full strength. Let's see if you can withstand it …"
Driving his Heavenly True Immortal cultivation, the surrounding space was unable to withstand the pressure, and cracks began to appear.
Hu!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning seemed to be flashing in the sky.
Using strength that exceeded that of the Spirit Abyss Realm, the Dimension Tribulation could descend at any moment.
"Wake them up …"
Knowing that it was a matter of life and death, if they didn't use their trump cards, everyone would die. Thus, Gu Yunqiu took a deep breath and instructed Darkshadow.
"Yes …" Darkshadow nodded. He took out a jade token and was just about to crush it when he saw a young man walking toward the green-robed middle-aged man with a conflicted look on his face.
"Su Tianya, be careful …"
Seeing the other party's actions, Shen Moping was stunned.
Even the eight Hall Masters were unable to withstand a single blow from the other party. Why are you charging forward?
"He's not Tianya. His name is Su Yin! He's the most senior Senior Uncle of the Subjugation Immortal Sect. "
Gu Yunqiu introduced the other party before sending a telepathic message over. "Junior Senior Uncle Su Yin, considering how you were able to tame the Three Demonic Beasts and possess a deep understanding of seals, I know that you must have some trump cards up your sleeves. However … these two True Immortals aren't as simple as you think. You mustn't act recklessly …"
Even though the other party was only at Pseudo Immortal 2-dan, given how he was able to make the Three Demonic Beasts submit to him, how could he possibly be so weak?
However, even if he did have some trump cards up his sleeves, he was still too young. Against two powerful True Immortals, it was unlikely that he would be able to defeat them.
Thus, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but advise against it.
"I know!" Ignoring Zhang Xuan's words, Su Yin walked up to the green-robed middle-aged man. With a hint of yearning in his eyes, he asked, "Can you … test my strength?"
He had personally felt the sword qi that the other party had executed earlier. It wasn't too powerful, and it was no different from the wind from an electric fan. However, Gu Yunqiu and the others were still unable to withstand it, spurting blood.
Could it be that even though his cultivation was only at Pseudo Immortal 2-dan, his physical body was actually as powerful as Donkey and the other Demonic Beasts?
All this while, he had never made a move, so no one had verified his strength. No matter what, he had to find out the answer today!
Even if he had to sustain injuries!
Thus, without any hesitation, he walked up to the green-robed middle-aged man.
The green-robed middle-aged man was just about to make a move when he heard that Zhang Xuan wanted him to test his strength. He nearly burst into laughter. "Young man, isn't it good to be alive? Are you courting death? "
"Of course I don't want to die!"
Su Yin shook his head as he pointed to his abdomen. "Right here. Use that move of yours to stab me. Make sure that you don't miss your target!"
Even if he were to pierce through his abdomen, he wouldn't die.
"…"
Seeing how serious Zhang Xuan was, the green-robed middle-aged man and the other True Immortal stared at one another in shock.
They had seen brainless people before, but they had never seen someone as brainless as Zhang Xuan!
To ask someone to stab him … How big of a hole must one's brain be to do such a thing?
"Qing Hen, he seems to possess the Xiantian Constitution. His clothes also seem to be Immortal-tier artifacts …" the middle-aged man said telepathically.
"No wonder …" Qing Hen was stunned for a moment before realization struck him. His lips crept up as he flicked the sword in his hand. "Since you asked me to stab you in your abdomen, I'll stab you in your abdomen! I'm going to slice your neck off!"
"This …"
Su Yin frowned. "You're right. If you were to slice my head off, I would really die. No, that won't do. Safety first! Dahei, Xiao Wu, and Lao Mian, beat them up first so that they'll listen to you obediently. Remember, don't kill them! "
He could guarantee that he wouldn't die if the other party stabbed him in his abdomen, but what if they didn't listen to him?
Forget it. For safety's sake, he should make them listen to him first.
Sigh. They aren't on his side, yet they don't play by the rules. They don't even dare to make a move on their own people, only knowing how to put on an act … Why is it so difficult to test their defensive prowess?
Of course, more importantly, I'm a coward, so I don't dare to take the risk. Otherwise, if I were to allow the other party to slash me in the neck, it would prove that my physical body is indeed strong. However, if my neck were to be severed, I would die …
I should be careful!
"Alright!"
Seeing how arrogant those two fellows were, the Three Beasts couldn't hold themselves back anymore. Upon hearing their master's words, they charged forward excitedly.
"You're courting death!"
Not expecting the young man to be even more arrogant than them, the two middle-aged men nearly exploded from rage. They were just about to make a move when they suddenly saw hoofprints, flames, and lightning descending from the sky.
“？？？”
Their mouths twitched as they drove their Celestial Energy, intending to kill the other party. However, as soon as they did so, they found themselves trapped in a quagmire, unable to move at all. Unknowingly, the space around them had been sealed!
Furthermore, it was the kind that they couldn't break!
"This …" The two middle-aged men's bodies turned cold.
At this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he understood how powerful the Three Beasts were.
Previously, the Sky Fall Demon Emperor had awakened them and hoped that they could help kill someone. He had also told them that the scholar had been killed. However, he had said that the scholar had been tricked and suppressed his cultivation before being killed.
Only at this moment did he realize that he wasn't suppressing his cultivation at all. Even if he hadn't done so, he still wouldn't have been a match for the other party!
If only he had known that the other party was so powerful, he would have never gotten involved in this matter. It was laughable that he had agreed to it just for the sake of the Demonic Emperor Sword.
Qing Hen was depressed. Then, he felt a hoof smashing his face, followed by a claw on his back. At the same time, an electric arc drilled into his meridians...
Zhang Xuan's body stiffened, and he lost control of his Celestial Energy. His vision darkened, and he spurted a mouthful of blood.
In less than half a breath's time, the two experts had already lost their momentum. They were lying on the ground, twitching non-stop, and white smoke was coming out of their mouths.
"…"
"That's it?"
Gu Yunqiu and the others opened their mouths wide.
Previously, they had only heard that the Three Beasts were very powerful. However, after seeing it with their own eyes, they finally understood how powerful they were. They were practically invincible!
The two True Immortals who wielded the Demonic Emperor Sword were beaten to the ground before they could even put up a fight. How powerful must one be to be able to do this?
This was beyond their imagination!
More importantly, the Realm Tribulation didn't descend even after using such powerful strength. Instead, it was slowly dissipating. How did they do it?
This completely defied their understanding of the world.
"Hall Master, should we wake them up?" Shadow asked with a trembling voice.
"Wake them up, my ass!" Gu Yunqiu was speechless.
The Dry Origin Alliance had a trump card as well. The past Hall Masters of the Elder Hall weren't truly dead. Instead, they were sealed in a special item. As long as the human race was in danger, they could be awakened to fight for them!
In the past ten thousand years, they had only awakened them three times.
This time, they had thought that they wouldn't be able to withstand it, so they had sent Shadow to do it. However, now that the two True Immortals were lying on the ground, what else could they do?
What was the point of waking them up? Was it because they wanted to shout 666?
It was completely meaningless!
"Enough!"
Seeing that the two test subjects might be beaten to death if they were to continue beating them up, Su Yin shouted.
Hearing his command, the Three Beasts obediently retreated to his side. They returned to their adorable state, completely different from the vicious look they had a moment ago.
"Wake up!"
Su Yin shouted a few times, but there was no response. Just as he was about to frown, he saw Xiao Wu walking up to him and slapping his face with his wings.
"Cough cough …"
Azure Mark coughed. Xiao Wu turned to his master with a satisfied look and said, "You're awake!"
"Un!" Su Yin's lips twitched as he nodded.
If he said that the other party was wrong, it would indeed be the fastest way to wake them up. If he said that the other party was right, he felt that something was amiss.
Contrary to Zhang Xuan's expression, Azure Mark, who had just woken up, realized what had happened. His lips twitched as he asked, "What in the world are you trying to do?"
We are already in this state, and you still want to slap us?
Even if you want to humiliate us, this isn't the right way to do it!
Su Yin looked at Azure Mark and said, "I just want you to test my strength by stabbing me with your swords. Don't worry, I'll just stand here and not move!"
Azure Mark turned to look at his companion, only to see that the latter had really fainted or was faking it. His lips twitched uncontrollably, and he was at a loss as to what to do.
"You don't seem too willing, Dahei …" Su Yin said.
"I know!" Dahei chuckled as he walked up to Azure Mark and stomped his hoof down.
Kacha!
Half of Azure Mark's leg was paralyzed.
"I'll do it! I'll do it!"
Knowing that he would be kicked to death if he didn't agree to it, Azure Mark didn't dare to say anything else. Instead, he raised the Demonic Emperor Sword.
Hu! The sword pierced right toward the young man's abdomen.
Weng!
The sword qi that could easily tear through space stopped abruptly. It didn't even manage to pierce through Azure Mark's clothes.
Unable to take it any longer, Su Yin slapped the other party. "Did you not eat?"
Both Bliss and Azure Mark. Do you think that I'm easy to fool?
Peng!
Half of Azure Mark's face caved in, and his cheekbones shattered. Even while he was still in midair, blood spurted wildly from his mouth. "I-I used all of my strength …"
You were the one who told me to stab you, and you used your strength to block my attack.
Are you being unreasonable?
"Un …" Su Yin was taken aback.
He had never slapped anyone with such strength before, so why did it feel like he had used so much strength earlier? Azure Mark was a True Immortal! Even if he was immobilized by Dahei and the others, his defense shouldn't be too bad!
Why did his bones shatter with a single slap?
I used the same technique as when I was chopping firewood earlier … Zhang Xuan came to a realization.
He hadn't slapped Azure Mark casually earlier. He had used the same technique as when he was chopping firewood earlier …
With such a thought in mind, Azure Mark raised his hand, and Su Yin sent another slap toward Azure Mark's face.
Kacha!
Azure Mark's shoulder blade was reduced to dust, and his body was sent flying before crashing heavily into a large boulder.
"It really works …" Su Yin's eyes lit up in excitement, as if he had just discovered a new continent. He walked up to Azure Mark and slapped him repeatedly.
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
A series of popping sounds echoed in the air. There wasn't a single bone in Azure Mark's body that was still intact. His dantian had been shattered as well, and in an instant, he seemed to have aged several years.
Even though he had been sleeping in the coffin all this while, and the depletion of his zhenqi had been minimal, it had still been ten thousand years. Previously, he had been able to sustain himself with his zhenqi, so he didn't feel anything. However, with his cultivation crippled, he couldn't take it anymore.
"Just kill me …" Azure Mark's tears flowed uncontrollably.
How is this a young man? You are a demon!
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come out. I want to go home and return to my coffin …
"It seems like my offensive prowess isn't too bad …" Seeing that even a True Immortal couldn't withstand his attack, Su Yin no longer had any doubts.
All along, he had thought that Azure Mark was a weakling, but in the end, it turned out that his physical body was actually so powerful!
If he had known that the other party was so formidable, he wouldn't have kept a low profile at all …
"Let me try Zhen Yuan …" Zhang Xuan drove the zhenqi in his dantian and raised his palm to strike Azure Mark once more.
Pah!
The might of a Pseudo Immortal 2-dan landed squarely on Azure Mark's body, but this time, not only did his bones not shatter, there wasn't even a scratch on him. Even his clothes were not torn.
"…"
While Zhang Xuan was slapping Azure Mark vigorously, Gu Yunqiu and the others felt their scalps turning numb.
Even if the other party wanted to kill you, there was no need to humiliate you to such an extent …
You were already in such a miserable state, but you were still slapping him non-stop. More importantly, you didn't even kill him …
"I'm certain that you didn't save him, but he saved you … He's your benefactor!"
Recalling the words that his disciple had told him, Gu Yunqiu said.
Gu Ling'er nodded.
To be able to send a True Immortal state being flying with a single slap without even being able to retaliate, it was no surprise that he could smash the Purple Wing Demon King to death with a single slap and kill the remaining four Demon Kings.
"Zhen Yuan is indeed inferior to the physical body …"
Ignoring their thoughts, Su Yin continued slapping Azure Mark's face a dozen more times, and seeing that the effects weren't that great, he shook his head.
After experimenting, he realized that if he used Zhen Yuan, he wouldn't be able to get the same feeling as when he chopped firewood, and the power wouldn't be that great. On the other hand, he could easily use his physical body.
It was the same for the donkey, tortoise, parrot, and the others. When they used their attacks, they conformed to certain profound meanings, which made their power so great that not even True Immortals could withstand them. When they didn't use their attacks, they didn't have any True Yuan or might, so they were no different from ordinary animals.
"Alright, they shouldn't be able to resist anymore. How should we deal with them?"
After Su Yin was done with the test, Qing Hen and the other True Immortal were already breathing heavily. They were on the verge of dying. Su Yin ignored them and looked at Gu Yunqiu instead.
"They came here to kill with the Demonic Imperial Sword. Even if they're not from the Giant Demon Race, they must be related. Let's just kill them!" Tao Xuchen said murderously.
"Don't be in a hurry to kill them. We can make use of these two!" Feng Changxi, the Hall Master of the War Strategy Hall, said.
"You mean … we should disguise ourselves as them, use the Demonic Imperial Sword, infiltrate the army, and kill Demon King Qiongye?"
Gu Yunqiu's eyes lit up.
"That's right!"
Feng Changxi nodded. "Didn't we just receive news that the Sky Fall Demon Emperor gave an order that only those with the Demonic Imperial Sword can command everyone? Now that the sword and seal are here, we can make use of them to make the Giant Demon Race as chaotic as possible! "
"Let's do that!"
The eyes of the remaining six hall masters lit up, and they nodded in agreement.
"Of course, before we launch a sneak attack on the Giant Demons, we still need to clarify something!" Gu Yunqiu said when he saw that everyone's blood was boiling.
Everyone turned to look at Gu Yunqiu.
"The path to immortality has been severed. For the past ten thousand years, there hasn't been a single True Immortal in the Qianyuan Continent or the Lingyuan Continent. Why would four True Immortals appear in just a few hours?" Gu Yunqiu asked.
Everyone was stunned.
It had only been six hours since Qiongyuan's breakthrough, but more True Immortals had appeared than in the past ten thousand years. Just what in the world had happened?
Hu!
Everyone's eyes focused on Azure Mark and the other True Immortal.
If there was anyone who could answer the question, it would be them.
