Chen Chang Sheng's expression was serious and focused, but not at ease, because his current posture was a little strange.
If he held up the umbrella as a shield and held his sword forward, then he would be a heroic warrior on the battlefield. But now, the umbrella in his hand was not raised, but dragged on the beach. The dagger was held upside down in his wrist, his knees were slightly bent, and his body was slightly leaning forward, as if he was ready to jump up and escape at any time. He looked like a thief, a thief ready to fight for his life.
Because he was almost at his limit, he had no way to keep the Yellow Paper Umbrella open for a long period of time when his physical strength was exhausted. He could only let it be dragged on the ground, and only raise it to block an attack when an attack came. The extremely sharp dagger was the same. The remaining True Essence was not enough for him to use the extremely powerful Flying Sword Technique. Even the more strenuous movements such as slashing and stabbing were very difficult.
The dagger was held upside down in his wrist, so the sword technique he used naturally could not be grand. He could only work on the minute details. The two demon girls only realized that he was using the Breaking Ice Sword of Holy Maiden Peak after encountering danger several times. They couldn't help but be shocked – this sword technique had always only been practiced by the female disciples of Holy Maiden Peak, so where did he learn it?
No matter if it was the demon race beauty who was completely naked, or the dignified woman wearing the Seven Jian Sword Gown, their expressions were all very serious. They looked at Chen Chang Sheng with abnormally serious gazes. This human youngster was actually able to hold on for such a long time under these circumstances. It was hard for them to understand, and they even faintly admired him.
But the battle would continue, and victory would forever belong to the Divine race!
Behind them were two wings of light that were about a zhang in diameter. In the next moment, the speed of the wings of light suddenly increased. With a whoosh, they disappeared from their original position, and in the next moment, they appeared behind Chen Chang Sheng. Their hands glowed with a strange and frightening green light, and they stabbed towards his face!
Such a frightening speed, almost like lightning, as strange as smoke, had already completely surpassed the imagination of most people. How could Chen Chang Sheng hold on for such a long time?
How did he respond? In the instant that the two wings of light appeared behind him, he moved. True Essence surged through his Broken Veins. His footsteps seemed natural, but were actually abnormally precise. He stepped forward to the left, and his figure suddenly blurred, appearing several zhang away.
The two wings of light once again moved swiftly, bringing the two women behind Chen Chang Sheng, blocking him from the lake.
Chen Chang Sheng raised his umbrella to block, only a tearing sound could be heard. In an extremely short period of time, it was unknown how many moves the two had exchanged, but they once again separated.
Numerous sword marks appeared on the bodies of the two women once again, before gradually fading away, just like the cracks on the wings of light behind them that had been cut by Chen Chang Sheng.
The demon beauty stared at Chen Chang Sheng and said with a pale face, "It really is Discerning Steps!"
Previously, they were already shocked by Chen Chang Sheng's strange movement technique. After a few tests, they finally confirmed it.
They were Nanke's maids, as well as Nanke's two wings. Moreover, their bodies were not ordinary, so they possessed an extremely terrifying talent for speed. Just based on their short distance jumping speed or sprinting ability, they could truly be described as lightning. Let alone Ethereal Opening cultivators, even true Star Condensation experts would not be able to keep up with their speed.
After Chen Chang Sheng's body had been bathed in the true blood of the Black Dragon, his strength and speed could both be said to have reached the peak of Ethereal Opening. However, he still could not be faster than them, but … he knew the Discerning Steps!
Yes, although his Discerning Steps was not complete, it was a simplified version that he had made himself, it was enough to help him avoid the opponent's lightning-fast attacks at the most dangerous moment.
This was the most important reason why he was able to live until now.
Liang Xiaoxiao gripped his sword and stood in the forest. Seeing this scene and hearing the demon woman's voice, his expression changed slightly.
As for the two women that had competed with Chen Chang Sheng in speed and reaction time, their expressions became even more serious.
The reason why the demon race's arrangements in the Garden of Zhou had not been completely successful was because Chen Chang Sheng had surpassed their imaginations. Whether it was the many powerful magical artifacts on his body, his movement techniques and sword style, or his willpower that was as tenacious as stone, the true reason why they were nervous was because of Chen Chang Sheng's circumstances. Whether it was that sharp sword, that extremely sturdy umbrella, that extremely rare Thousand Li Button, or the Discerning Steps that he grasped, the Military Advisor definitely knew all of these things. But why did the Military Advisor not give any warning before entering the Garden of Zhou?
The Military Advisor did not even mention it!
Let alone the fact that it was Chen Chang Sheng's secret, even the Military Advisor did not know. The Military Advisor was omniscient, and this was the firmest belief of all the demons … then just what did the Military Advisor want to do? Could it be that this conspiracy that occurred in the Garden of Zhou had even more content that they did not know? Could it be related to their master? They could not understand this matter, so they were uneasy. In reality, let alone them, even their master, even the mighty Demon Lord, could not understand the true thoughts of that mysterious black-robed person.
They suddenly felt that the wind blowing from the surface of the lake was rather cold, and only then did they notice that the sun was about to set.
But they did not receive any new orders from the Military Advisor, so they had to completely extinguish the four lights in their Sea of Life, and kill all four people.
Chen Chang Sheng suddenly rushed towards the forest by the lake.
Liang Xiaoxiao's expression was grave. He held his sword horizontally across his chest, and without the slightest hesitation, he used the most powerful sword technique of the Mount Li Sword Sect.
Previously, he and Chen Chang Sheng had clashed several times. No matter how powerful his sword style was, or how awe-inspiring his sword energy was, he could not stab Chen Chang Sheng when he used the Discerning Steps. Occasionally, Chen Chang Sheng would be entangled by two of Nanke's maids with lightning-like speed. He would wait for an opportunity to strike, but it would be easily broken by Chen Chang Sheng's sword technique.
Liang Xiaoxiao could not do anything to Chen Chang Sheng. He felt that no matter how he changed his moves, it would always be predicted by this youth. Moreover, Chen Chang Sheng would always use the most suitable sword technique to break them.
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable, and extremely terrible.
This time was no exception. The dagger on Chen Chang Sheng's arm, within the wind of swords, easily found the final destination of Liang Xiaoxiao's sword energy. With a crisp sound, he used the simplest and most effective method to block it. Then, a flash of sword light lit up in the forest by the lake. Liang Xiaoxiao was forced to quickly retreat, and only then was he able to avoid it.
The fundamental method of the Mount Li Sword Style was currently within the Orthodox Academy.
No matter how good Liang Xiaoxiao's orthodox Mount Li Sword Style was, no matter how skilled and powerful it was, how could it do anything to Chen Chang Sheng?
He had many magical artifacts, many fortuitous encounters, but what he had the most was still knowledge. Reading through the Daoist Canon was one thing, and the majority of the books related to cultivation in the Orthodox Academy's library had, in the short span of a year, become nourishment for his sea of consciousness. Countless sword manuals had entered his heart. Other than Gou Han Shi and Guan Fei Bai, among the cultivators of the younger generation, who dared to say that they knew more sword styles than him?
If he were to face other demon experts in the Garden of Zhou, even if it was one against three, Chen Chang Sheng would have all sorts of treasures and techniques to protect himself. Perhaps he really would be able to kill his way out, and perhaps even obtain victory. Just like now … he had broken through Liang Xiaoxiao's Mount Li Sword and pretended to return to the forest. In reality, he had completely ignited the remaining true essence in his body, pouring all his strength into the dagger. With a flick of his wrist, the dagger transformed into an extremely mournful and cold light, slashing towards the seemingly empty forest before him!
There was a sharp sound.
The two women flapped their wings of light, and just happened to appear at that place!
Only a spurt of blood could be seen. On the necks of the two women, a deep sword wound appeared. If it was just a little deeper, perhaps even the bones within could be seen!
… …
… …
The setting sun shone upon the forest by the lake, the wind caressed the surface of the lake, and the sound of waves could be heard.
Chen Chang Sheng held the dagger in one hand and the umbrella in the other. His chest rose and fell slightly, and his breathing gradually stopped.
A hint of regret appeared in his eyes.
Although this strike had heavily injured the two women, it had not been able to slit their throats, so it had no meaning.
Even their severed hands could be regrown, let alone the wounds on their bodies.
Why did that dignified woman not have horns? Why was her blood red? Why did that naked demon beauty, when she used her bewitching technique, have the horns on her head automatically disappear? Everything was because they were not humans, nor were they demons.
They were shamans, or more accurately, they were shaman spirits. Their bodies were somewhere between a real existence and a spiritual body.
When they stood together, even though their facial features and expressions were completely different, they gave off the feeling of twins, because they were originally twins. They were a pair of wings.
Just like the pair of wings of light on their backs.
Those wings of light and their almost spiritual bodies allowed them to possess an unimaginable speed. Even if Chen Chang Sheng used the Yeshi Step, he would not be able to escape.
If they only had a single wing, they would never be able to fly. It was just like how if they were separated, they would only be ordinary upper level Ethereal Opening experts, which was why they had been repeatedly heavily injured by Chen Chang Sheng and the others in the center of the lake. But if they stood together, they could soar into the blue sky, their battle prowess ten times greater than if they were alone!
The reason why the strongest Demon General couple, Liu Wan'er and Teng Xiaoming, had left to pursue Zhexiu and Qi Jian was not only because Qi Jian was their primary target, but also because this couple had seen very clearly that Chen Changsheng, because of problems with his true essence or cultivation method, was not strong enough to instantly kill Zhexiu and Qi Jian. No matter what, he would still die.
The pair of wings formed from clear light gently swayed behind the two women. It was a very beautiful sight.
In Chen Chang Sheng's eyes, these wings of light were very frightening. The hand that gripped the hilt of his sword slightly tightened, trying to find a way to escape, but he could not find it.
The two women lowered their heads to look at the wounds on their necks, but they could not see them, so they turned their heads to look at each other's necks, their movements extremely synchronized.
Demonic green blood and bright red blood flowed incessantly from those two sword wounds.
They could clearly feel the pain and the shadow of death from before. They were truly enraged, but their expressions became even more calm and solemn.
The pair of wings of light suddenly began to rapidly vibrate.
A gale stirred up by the lake.
In the twilight, a gorgeous stream of light appeared.
… …
