Chapter 114 : Born with Double Pupils
Why was a demon cultivator associating with these immortal cultivators?
Yan Wangxing's expression was very unpleasant. He had broken through to the Divine Transformation stage before reaching 100 years old, an absolute genius in both the cultivation world and demon world. Yet the strength of this demon cultivator before him was not at all inferior to his own, even making him feel great pressure.
Demonic energy gathered around his body. He raised his arm, and sharp demonic energy shot out, breaking through the air like blades, transforming into thousands of light shadows piercing towards Mo Baizhou.
However, Mo Baizhou's figure disappeared in an instant.
In the moment Yan Wangxing was stunned, he instinctively sensed danger approaching from behind. He hurriedly turned and blocked with his blade. The two blade lights crossed, bursting into thousands of sparks. The demonic energy, so dense it was almost terrifying, exploded with substance, sending both of them flying hundreds of meters. The underground palace built from ten-thousand-year-old giant rocks could barely withstand this terrifying demonic energy explosion, showing signs of collapse.
"Hum—"
The ancient demon blade that had been floating motionlessly in mid-air seemed to sense this intense demonic energy surge. It actually emitted a faint blade hum, showing signs of awakening.
Seeing this, Mo Baizhou abandoned Yan Wangxing and charged directly towards the demon blade.
Damn it! Seeing him trying to snatch the ancient demon blade, Yan Wangxing also became anxious. He raised his hand and heavily swung out dozens of demonic energy waves, forcing the other back.
The stone figure battlefield below was intense, and the battle above was equally fierce.
After exchanging hundreds of moves without gaining any advantage, the vicious look on Yan Wangxing's face intensified. A mere demon race rogue cultivator of unknown identity was so difficult to deal with!
The sharp blade intent filled with killing aura was blocked by Mo Baizhou's horizontal blade, but he hadn't anticipated that Yan Wangxing was ruthless and most skilled at sneak attacks. He formed another demon seal with his other hand and heavily struck Mo Baizhou's chest, smashing him into the crumbling rocks below.
"Cough cough..." As the dust settled, Mo Baizhou walked out from a pile of broken stones and ruins. The mask on his face had also shattered into two halves, revealing his true countenance.
What immediately caught the eye were those pitch-black eyes, like a moonlit Jade Pool, beautiful yet as empty and soulless as a dead person's, as if nothing in the world could make them ripple with the slightest emotion. Most surprising was—
His right eye actually had double pupils, appearing exceptionally bizarre.
...Born with double pupils?
Yan Wangxing was suddenly stunned. The only person with naturally born double pupils he had ever seen in his life was the old Demon Sovereign.
Back then, the old Demon Sovereign had dominated the demon world with his naturally born double pupils, unrivaled by anyone.
The demon cultivator before him actually also had one eye with naturally born double pupils. Could it be... what was his relationship with the old Demon Sovereign??
Dozens of dark red runes appeared around Mo Baizhou's body, all embedding into him. Blue veins surfaced on Mo Baizhou's arms, and a bizarre dark red flash passed through his double pupils. He seemed to be in extreme pain and let out a low roar. The surrounding demonic energy surged several times, sweeping out and breaking through the stone formation.
"Boom!" Yan Wangxing was also sent flying by this wave of demonic energy, rock fragments embedding into his flesh. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs nearly shattered.
Seeing Mo Baizhou leap up and grasp the demon blade floating in mid-air,
He climbed up from the ground, his face even more gloomy. Gritting his teeth, he said, "...It's useless. Even if you get this blade, it's of no use! If even I couldn't refine it, what qualifications do you have??"
He had obtained this ancient demon blade half a year ago but hadn't been able to refine it at all in all this time.
And now this demon cultivator of unknown origin wanted to refine the ancient demon sword passed down through generations of Demon Sovereigns. It was simply a pipe dream!!
However, the moment his words fell, Mo Baizhou effortlessly pulled out the demon blade.
The previously dormant demon blade, at the moment it was drawn, had over a hundred dark red runes appear on its body, flowing slowly like magma blood, becoming increasingly eye-catching, as if injected with new vitality.
The ancient demon blade... had been awakened?
It actually chose this demon cultivator of unknown origin as its new master??
Yan Wangxing was so shocked he nearly spat out another mouthful of old blood, almost unable to stand steady. The purpose of these bandits coming was clearly to take the ancient demon blade. They would grab the blade and run.
Yan Wangxing's eyes nearly popped out. He waved out a demon seal, announcing to the entire demon world to capture these five fleeing outsiders!
The demon soldiers and generals all moved out in full force.
He didn't believe these five people could have the ability to escape the pursuit of the entire demon world.
Before the cold smile could fully form on his face, a earth-shattering explosion came from the demon palace behind him.
In the span of a single breath, explosions followed one after another, turning into a colorful and splendid fireworks display.
"Chu Sang?!"
He must kill her!!
⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱⊰⋆⋅⭑⋅⋆⊱
On the other side, Chu Sang didn't care how devastated Yan Wangxing was that his demon palace, which had just been rebuilt half a year ago and hadn't even been lived in properly, was blown up again. She threw the last chain explosion talisman behind her and sighed, "Stop chasing. Even if you keep chasing, you won't catch me."
The group of demon soldiers and generals who had been relentlessly pursuing them, bombarded by explosion talismans all the way, were almost blown to a crisp. Hearing this, they coughed up blood even more.
"Whoever kills her, the Demon Lord will reward them with ten million demon stones!!"
Tantai Ming was utterly amazed by his Little Junior Sister's ability to cause trouble.
Who could make the entire demon world call for their death by their efforts alone?
The perfect answer: his Little Junior Sister.
Who could become the top of the demon realm's wanted list as a mere Golden Core cultivator?
The correct answer: still his Little Junior Sister.
Previously, the bounty was one million demon stones.
Now her value had increased again, soaring to ten million demon stones. It was truly a cause for celebration.
Apart from the group of demon soldiers under Yan Wangxing who were relentlessly pursuing them, other demon forces and sects who had received the order also joined this marathon hunt.
"I remember you. It was you who killed two personal disciples of our sect!"
A team of people blocked their way.
The leader was a thin, effeminate middle-aged man. He pointed with his pinky finger raised, glaring at Chu Sang with anger and malice, his beautiful eyes lined with long eyeliner almost spitting fire... looking quite strange from any angle.
Chu Sang recognized their identity just by looking at their gaudy sect robes and the group's coquettish and affected demeanor. They were from the Harmony Sect, one of the five great sects of the demon race.
The leader was a Divine Transformation stage elder of the Harmony Sect.
He had previously sent two disciples to the cultivation world, not only failing to get good news but receiving news of their deaths.
Before dying, the two disciples had sent back their final moments—they were killed by a red-clad human cultivator girl.
It was clearly Chu Sang before them!
"Kill them! Avenge my fellow disciples!"
Chu Sang casually threw out dozens of Golden Armor Talismans to block the attacks, then turned to her senior brothers and sisters, "Run!"
They hadn't run more than a few steps when another team approached from the opposite direction.
The tall, thin man leading them saw Chu Sang and gave a cold laugh. "It's you again."
Chu Sang: "......"
How to deal with having too many enemies?
She laughed dryly, her smile not reaching her eyes. "All old acquaintances. Everyone, please go easy on us."
The other team was from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
Yan Xiu stared at Chu Sang with a gloomy expression. He never thought they would meet again after parting at the Twelve Demon Caves.
This cunning human cultivator had severely tricked them last time. If this grudge wasn't avenged, when would it be?
The Harmony Sect in front, the Ten Thousand Demons Sect behind.
The road was completely blocked.
Mo Baizhou, who had roamed the demon world alone for many years, had never encountered such a tricky situation. He took a deep breath and said, still relatively calm, "I'll handle the Harmony Sect. You all focus on breaking through the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's defense."
On the Harmony Sect side, there was a Divine Transformation stage elder and more than ten Nascent Soul and Golden Core stage disciples.
The main force of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect hadn't arrived yet. For now, there was only a Nascent Soul stage personal disciple leading them, which was comparatively less troublesome.
Mo Baizhou leaped to block the Harmony Sect's attack. With his strength, holding them off for a while wasn't a problem.
Big Senior Sister then covered for the three junior brothers and sisters to leave first.
Wu Wo formed hand seals, and more than ten flying swords flew out from her sword case, each targeting a Golden Core disciple from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
She then gripped a long sword to block Yan Xiu, the strongest.
Both were at the Nascent Soul stage.
Yan Xiu wasn't a personal disciple for nothing. Unlike most demon cultivators with their inflated strength, he was a solid mid Nascent Soul stage, a top figure among Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators of the same level. Even facing a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator, he could exchange several moves.
But unfortunately, he encountered Wu Wo, this battle maniac.
In terms of sword intent, speed, power, and cultivation, the battle-hardened Wu Wo far surpassed cultivators of the same level. Her chilly sword glinted with cold light under the moonlight.
She sank her wrist and pressed down with her sword. The ground beneath Yan Xiu's feet immediately sank, cracking into several spider web-like fissures.
So strong!
Yan Xiu couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, the disdain on his face disappearing along with half the color.
He dared not be careless anymore and hurriedly circulated the demonic energy in his body. His other hand swung out an attack that hit Wu Wo, forcing her back several meters.
However, before Yan Xiu could catch his breath, he saw excitement flash in her eyes as she chopped down again with an even more fierce posture, her moves becoming increasingly sharp and powerful!!
Yan Xiu had never encountered such a reckless cultivator before. Cold sweat seeped from his pale face as he was forced to meet her head-on.
Two great forces of spiritual energy and demonic energy clashed—
With a crisp "clang", the demon blade in his hand actually shattered into two halves!
That sword intent didn't stop, striking directly at his chest. Fortunately, he had a heart-protecting mirror on his chest that blocked the attack, but this only precious heart-protecting mirror also shattered as a result.
Big Senior Sister Wu Wo was fierce in action and sparing in words. She didn't give him any chance to breathe, her snow-white sword light slashing over again in an instant.
Yan Xiu hurriedly took out another demon blade to block the attack. His face was also extremely unpleasant. Just as he was feeling very troubled and wondering how to escape, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he laughed coldly, "The Ten Thousand Demons Sect's reinforcements have arrived. You're all dead!"
Dozens of Ten Thousand Demons Sect disciples arrived.
She blinked. "So many people."
Yan Xiu sneered, "Scared now?"
She became even more excited.
"Big Senior Sister, how many swords can you send out at once?" Chu Sang knew that her main sword technique was the Hundred Swords Technique. Her Nascent Soul stage cultivation was secondary; her true strength relied on the Hundred Breaking Sword Case and the Hundred Swords Technique.
If the sword technique could be cultivated to the peak, crossing realms to single-handedly fight a Divine Transformation stage cultivator wouldn't be a problem.
But the Hundred Swords Technique was extremely difficult to cultivate, far surpassing ordinary sword techniques. It required the cultivator to constantly battle, seeking their own path of cultivation through killing.
Although Big Senior Sister Wu Wo was a righteous path cultivator, what she cultivated was truly the path of killing.
Usually in the cultivation world, no matter how crazy she was, she still restrained herself to some extent and wouldn't actually take lives.
These demon path disciples were different. They were just right for Big Senior Sister to practice on.
When it came to fighting them, there was no need to hold back anymore.
Big Senior Sister pondered, "At most thirty swords."
For past sword masters of the Hundred Breaking Sword Case, being able to summon ten swords simultaneously was as difficult as ascending to heaven. For Wu Wo to cultivate the sword technique to this level at such a young age, being able to summon thirty flying swords simultaneously, could be called a heaven-defying talent without exaggeration.
But clearly, her little junior sister was still not satisfied. She pouted, "There are over fifty demon cultivators on the other side. Thirty swords aren't enough."
She enthusiastically gestured, "Big Senior Sister, how about this, let's compromise. Can you try to summon fifty flying swords?"
Big Senior Sister was also silent for a moment. Since its creation, no one had ever been able to summon all the flying swords in the Hundred Breaking Sword Case simultaneously. Her little junior sister had indeed compromised quite a bit, being quite lenient.
"I'll try."
Turning pressure into motivation, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Faced with the attack of dozens of demon cultivators, she didn't retreat but advanced.
The other three weren't idle either.
Chu Sang and Tantai Ming also drew their swords to face several Golden Core stage demon cultivators, while Mu Chihuai diligently spread poison on the side. Sometimes, compared to obvious attacks like swords, poison was more effective at messing with people's minds.
The battle fluctuations were too great, with demonic energy and spiritual energy explosions occurring continuously. The surroundings were left in ruins.
A group of enraged Demon Explosion Stone Apes also joined the battlefield.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly dire, Chu Sang decided that of the thirty-six stratagems, running away was the best.
She activated her movement technique, her figure moving like lightning, stepping on the heads of the stone apes one by one to escape.
Mu Chihuai scattered a wave of colorless and odorless powder. The demon cultivators who accidentally inhaled the poison powder instantly lost strength in their muscles and bones. They were knocked down by several sword energies from Tantai Ming, opening up an escape route.
"Not good, they want to run. Chase after them!"
An elder from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect had also arrived. He summoned a huge black snake a hundred zhang long that flew over and swallowed Chu Sang and the others who couldn't escape in time.
Yan Xiu gave a cold laugh. The Heaven Devouring Python was their sect elder's contracted demon beast, possessing half-step Divine Transformation strength. It could devour anything!
Once something was swallowed by it, there was no reason for it to be spat out. These human cultivators were definitely dead!
Before the demon cultivators could rejoice, the next second, an earth-shattering explosion—
"Roar!!"
The Heaven Devouring Python let out a miserable cry. A huge hole was blasted in its abdomen. Amidst the flying blood mist was a red-clad young woman carrying a large cannon on one arm, who blew them a rogue whistle, "Hi guys, want a bullet?"
Fifth Senior Brother had indeed left her a big surprise.
Chu Sang had thought that the so-called multi-form could only transform into cold weapons like swords, bows, and halberds. She didn't expect Fifth Senior Brother to be so in sync with her, even able to transform into hot weapons like guns and cannons.
Next, it was time to show the demon cultivators what scientific cultivation looked like.
