I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 53

Chapter 53

After observing for a moment and confirming that this was the destination, Eunuch Xiao and Elder Wen’s group immediately surrounded the valley and rushed in from all directions.

As expected, there were plenty of Demon Cult members gathered within the valley. The Demon Sovereign’s palace was empty and everyone had shifted to this place. There were a few tents inside the valley, and apart from the attendants and servant girls, Young Lady Snake, Daoist Insect, and the other experts of the Demon Cult were here.

General Ant immediately drummed loudly once he noticed the surprise attack. After hearing the drums, the Ant Soldiers arranged their formations to resist the enemy. They were inside a tent at the innermost center, and it was also where Ying Qingqing’s sedan chair was guarded.

The people carrying the sedan chair didn’t leave and formed a defense line around the sedan chair. Young Lady Snake glared at them and obviously knew that it was this sedan chair that led the enemy here.

Looking at the situation, Eunuch Xiao and the others didn’t say anything else and immediately charged at the tent and the sedan chair. It was certain that apart from Ying Qingqing who was on the sedan chair, Xie Xingmang and Helian Zhe should also be inside the tent.

They were rather cautious, and during the process of the attack, they had also lifted up a few other tents but didn’t find anyone hidden within. Afterwards, they used their full strength to charge at the Demon Cult’s defense line.

However, the Ant Soldiers trained by General Ant had extreme teamwork, and their combat strength was formidable. Young Lady Snake, Madam Fragrance, Daoist Insect, and Speech Fairy had also used their various abilities to fight against multiple enemies at once.

Even though Eunuch Xiao and his men were all elites, they couldn’t penetrate the defense in a short moment. When they saw Second Master Bird and the other Demon Cult experts contacting the outside to call for reinforcements, Eunuch Xiao and his men started to become anxious.

At this moment, an old man was walking slowly towards the tent and the sedan chair. He had a dispirited and unconventional appearance: his eyes were drowsy as though he didn’t sleep after getting drunk. But each step he took, his qi presence would grow stronger, and he would become slightly more sober.

The Demon Cult members immediately shifted their attention to the old man who was walking over. His sword qi had burst into the skies and gradually covered the entire valley. His sleepy eyes were finally fully opened, and his bent-over back had finally straightened.

The old man was like a treasure sword that had been sheathed for many years, and when it was finally drawn, its edge was revealed, displaying a chilling shine.

Most of the Demon Cult members didn’t recognize him, and only a few of the veterans had a gradual change in their expression.

“Wen Liu?”

After hearing this name, most of the people instantly realized something. It was a name that had vanished for many years, but it was extremely reputable back then. Now that everyone heard the name, no one dared to underestimate the old man.

Wen Liu, the Sword Pavilion Lord’s previous sword servant who had served the Pavilion Lord for many years back then.

Before the Sword Pavilion Five Heroes were famous, Wen Liu was already serving the Sword Pavilion Lord. In the Central Province, most people addressed him as “Lord Wen Liu” or “Elder Wen”.

Nie Hua, Shi Jing, and the others were all watched over by him. He had retired for many years, but after the battle between the Sword Sovereign and the Demon Sovereign, he finally reappeared in this expedition to the south and offered his assistance to rescue Xie Xingmang.

This sword king had revealed himself. He didn’t have a sword, but his sword qi and sword intent were sweeping across the valley. This was also why Eunuch Xiao and the others were confident.

The Demon Cult members had grave expressions.

But right at this moment, Wen Liu suddenly stopped moving. His sword qi and sword intent were suddenly withdrawn, becoming more condensed and sharper. His old eyes emitted a radiance as he looked above the valley with vigilance. Over there, a faint black shadow was barely visible.

The black shadow looked illusory, but when it appeared, the sword qi and the sword intent in the valley had been dispersed.

Wen Liu stared at the black shadow. Before entering the valley, Wen Liu didn’t detect the black shadow that was hidden within this place. The black shadow’s cultivation strength was at least comparable to him, and it was extremely adept at concealment. Had it not been for his constant vigilance, he might have been assassinated and not even know how he had perished.

The black shadow drifted down and revealed its figure with eye-catching white clothes. He had an entire head of red hair that was truly dazzling, while his brows were snow-white in color. This man was obviously in the second half of his life, but his appearance was still handsome, while his bearing was very elegant and graceful.

“…He Tianxiang!” Wen Liu then said slowly, “It seems like the rumors are true. The Gray Bat, Black Deer, and Red-Crowned Crane have all been subdued by the Demon Sovereign. They are now the three servants, Fu, Lu, and Shou.”

Eunuch Xiao and the others looked at that man with red hair and white clothes while their hearts were feeling a chill. Similar to the Gray Bat Elder Devil, the “Red Hair Human Devil” He Tianxiang was also a generational old demon that had terrorized the Divine Province. He was always elusive and hard to track down.

In terms of movement skills, he might not be comparable with the Gray Bat Elder Devil, but when confronting the enemy directly, his notorious demon technique, Red Moon Savage Claw, was superior to the Gray Bat Elder Devil’s most powerful technique.

Elder Shou smiled and said, “To receive orders from Cult Master is truly this old Shou’s honor.”

Wen Liu shook his head. “There is nothing much to say. Seeing that you bent over to serve others as a servant, how is it possible for your sharpness to be the same as before?”

While speaking, Wen Liu’s sword intent had already formed a river-like sword light that was bursting with qi prowess. He then slashed it at the Demon Cult members.

“Sharpness? It is definitely a little sharper than you who has been a servant for the Sword Sovereign since you were a boy.” Elder Shou’s tone was indifferent.

In front of him, his martial dao intent had congealed and transformed into a dark and fiendish blood moon. The blood moon turned from a full moon into a crescent moon. It was like a mournful wound that ripped through the sky.

The surging power then severed the long river that was produced by Wen Liu’s sword intent. However, the long river was severed, but it didn’t scatter. It continued flowing and gathered again.

Two martial kings at the 11th Apotheosis Stage immediately clashed.

Wen Liu’s sword qi was overbearing, but Elder Shou let out a bizarre smile.

Within that mournful blood moon, another chilly silver moon appeared!

It was one of the Demon Cult’s 36 secret arts, Extreme Yin Sunbreak Claw!

Wen Liu’s sword qi had no choice but to return and form a defense. The Red Hair Human Devil was already overwhelming in strength and was a notorious old demon. Now that he cultivated one of the Demon Cult’s secret arts, his strength was further improved.

Eunuch Xiao and the others were watching while their scalps numbed and their bodies shivered. If they didn’t resolve the situation quickly and rescue Xie Xingmang, Ying Qingqing, and Helian Zhe, what if the Demon Sovereign returned?

After thinking of this problem, everyone started to tremble even though it wasn’t cold.

Right now, Chen Luoyang who was far away had turned around to look at the valley. The information had been relayed out from the valley, and it stated that an enemy ambush had appeared. However, there were no other surprises.

I have been trying to lure the snakes out of the cave, and since they are all out now, it is time to draw the net in.

He turned back to look and saw that the mist that was formed by the Hidden Dragon Illusion Array was already completely broken by Xiao Yuntian.

There was no more mist, and the dragons had vanished. When taking a glance across the mountain, they saw only four individuals — Shi Jing, Nie Hua, Li Tai, and Demon Monk Mingfa.

By making use of the cover by the Hidden Dragon Illusion Array, the four of them had remained here to attract the attention of the Demon Cult’s main forces. The rest of the people had already retreated. If the Hidden Dragon Illusion Array hadn’t needed four experts to support it, they probably wouldn’t be here either.

Right now, the array had been neutralized, and the four individuals didn’t hesitate as they fled in four different directions.

Looking at the situation, Chen Luoyang didn’t have any surprise on his face. Immediately after, he raised his palm. Along with the motion when he raised his hand, there was a power that could crush the void and created an immense suction force.

Shi Jing and the three others who were rapidly fleeing couldn’t help but get slowed down. When they turned around to look, they could see that Chen Luoyang’s palm had formed a reversed??

symbol.
