Chapter 420: With a Single Move, Killing the Great Demon of Zhongzhou While in East State
Tianyan Sect, upon the square.
Billowing Demonic Qi shrouded the entire Tianyan Sect.
In the center of the square, the Great Demon was boasting arrogantly.
Although he had revived and broken the seal, his strength had somewhat diminished due to being sealed for too long.
In his view, if he devoured these few human prodigies before him,
his strength would definitely return to its peak in an instant.
Once he regained his peak strength, who could kill him in this era?
Did he think it was the Ancient Times when mighty warriors were aplenty?
Ridiculous!
As for the Respected Master mentioned by Ye Luo and the others,
this Great Demon didn't take him to heart at all.
He had seen the other end of the thread of fate—it was just a mortal!
A genuine mortal!
Thinking they could deceive him with a mortal, did they really think demons lacked intelligence?
The Great Demon had no hesitation; he converged the four streams of Demonic Qi, ready to strike at these human prodigies.
He was about to make his move
when a sudden alarm rang out in his heart.
A sense of extreme crisis washed over him.
He had never felt this way before.
The single time he felt this was during the Ancient Times when he was being sealed by countless human powerhouses.
That time, it took the collective effort of numerous human powerhouses just to make him feel a slight sense of danger.
And it was because of that little sense of danger that he was sealed for god knows how many years.
Now, he actually felt such an extreme sense of crisis.
The Great Demon didn't know where this sense of crisis came from,
but he knew he was going to fall!
Almost instantly,
the Great Demon kneeled on the ground, opened his mouth, and was about to beg for mercy.
Suddenly, he lifted his head and looked towards the firmament in the east.
Whoosh!!!
The piercing sound of tearing through the air exploded.
In the eyes of the Great Demon, an ancient sword was rushing towards him at an indescribable speed.
Around the ancient sword, waves of golden light flickered, as if it carried the momentum of heaven and earth with it.
"No!!!!!"
The Great Demon bellowed in rage, knowing in an instant that the ancient sword was targeting him.
He wanted to flee.
But facing that heavenly and earthly momentum, he found he simply couldn't escape.
Hum!!!
Boom!!!
The ancient sword plummeted down, cleverly aimed right at the Great Demon.
The moment the sword touched the ground,
a mushroom cloud rose.
A fierce gust of wind centered on Tianyan Sect, swept out in all directions.
Ye Luo and the other four Disciples of the Daoless Sect, along with those dozen or so from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sect who were still suppressing their evil thoughts, were all toppled by this gust and blown away.
Among this group, even the strongest Ye Luo couldn't control his figure.
They were thrown back tens of thousands of meters before they managed to stabilize.
After steadying themselves for a while,
their eyes widened as they looked in the direction of Tianyan Sect, baffled.
This power...
It was terrifying.
Having been thrown out themselves, they could feel the horrific nature of that power more clearly.
They all had a feeling,
if they had been caught in that blast just now, they probably would have turned to ash by this moment.
"What was that just now? Did any of you get a clear look at it?"
One of the Hidden Sect Masters from Zhongzhou asked with a trembling voice.
"Saw, saw it, it was an ancient sword... that came slashing from the east..."
Another person replied shakily.
The east...
What kind of mighty figure existed to the east?
It seemed that apart from that one person, there were no others, right...
Indeed, that person made a move after all...
When that person strikes, it's truly remarkable, and the strike is so terrifying.
It's just unknown whether the Great Demon can withstand it.
Such a terrifying attack must be able to injure that Great Demon, right...
These thoughts emerged simultaneously in the hearts of the dozens of people from the Hidden Sects of Zhongzhou.
All their gazes gathered on the plaza of the Tianyan Sect.
At this moment.
A thick fog enshrouded the plaza of the Tianyan Sect, obscuring the scene within.
This fog was mixed with some special power.
Even though they were all at the Tribulation Transcending Stage, they couldn't see through it.
They could only stand tens of thousands of meters away, looking on from a distance, waiting for the fog to disperse.
About the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the fog that had covered the Tianyan Sect plaza gradually started to dissipate.
They could see now!
The dozens of people all cast their gazes onto the plaza.
When they looked, they were somewhat stunned.
On the plaza, there was no trace of the Great Demon, just an empty space, nothing at all.
If not for the huge pit on the ground, and the faint demonic Qi lingering in the air, they would have thought the Great Demon they just saw was an illusion.
The dozens of people in the firmament couldn't help but fall silent, confused.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Where is that Great Demon?"
One person couldn't help but speak up, breaking the tense air.
"The Great Demon... has fallen?"
Another person drew in a deep breath, saying with disbelief.
How powerful was that Great Demon?
Just with a glance, it could render them incapable of fighting anymore.
Even prodigies like Ye Luo were quite affected.
With the combat power of that Great Demon, it seemed countless numbers at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage could have faced annihilation.
Yet such a mighty Great Demon.
Was it obliterated by that existence suspected to be the Sect Master of the Wudao Sect, with just one move???
And yet across an infinite distance, from East State to the far reaches of Zhongzhou, with a single slash???
"Let's go."
Ye Luo's lips slightly parted as he uttered a word.
Immediately, his figure moved, flying toward the Tianyan Sect plaza, aiming to see if there was any specific situation to investigate within.
Seeing this, Zhang Han and others hurriedly followed Ye Luo.
The dozens of people from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects also followed suit.
The group flew back towards the plaza of Tianyan Sect.
There was not much demonic Qi left on the plaza, just a few strands drifting away.
Ye Luo and the others didn't bother with that demonic Qi.
They reached the edge of the huge pit.
What came into view was a blood-colored broken sword embedded in the ground.
This broken sword only consisted of the tip and blade, lacking the hilt.
Several disciples of the Wudao Sect, especially the older disciples like Ye Luo Zhang Han, had their pupils sharply contract upon seeing this broken sword.
They had all entered their Respected Master's resting chamber before.
Wasn't this broken sword the one that was placed in the corner of their Respected Master's resting chamber?
Moreover, the sword hadn't been broken before...
It was indeed their Respected Master who made the move...
The disciples of the Wudao Sect marveled in their hearts.
Those dozens of people from the Zhongzhou Hidden Sects had no idea about the origin of the broken sword.
However, seeing the reactions of the few disciples of Wudao Sect, they had their speculations.
But without confirmation from the disciples of the Wudao Sect, they didn't dare to verbalize it.
"May I ask you fellow Daoists, does this broken sword belong to your esteemed teacher?"
The Sect Master of the Zhenxian Sect, Mo Cheng, asked cautiously.
"Yes."
Ye Luo didn't deny it, nodding in affirmation.
Upon Ye Luo's confirmation,
Those dozens of people were almost scared to their knees...
The Sect Master of the Wudao Sect, located in East State, eliminated a Great Demon in Zhongzhou with a single move???!!
