Translator:549690339

The setting sun had fallen, and the bloody moon hung in the sky.

Inside the city gate of Anxi Prefecture, the turbulent flow of air was filled with terrifying roars coming from not far away.

“Let’s go! When the Demon Emperor finds an opening, we’ll all die here!” said a badly wounded elder in a cloth robe as he fled towards the city walls enveloped in smoke, looking back to see Zhao Huai facing the rolling tide of monsters alone, and couldn’t help but shout.

“It’s no use. We can’t persuade him. He must have someone he cares about still inside the city.”

By his side, Cai Yuxiang held her chest with a hoarse voice.

After the green bone spikes had been removed, her blood was finally stopped.

“Someone he cares about…”

Upon hearing these words, the human cultivators around them all gave a dim look, their loved ones already wiped out.

“Roar!”

A deafening tiger roar echoed, the sound waves congealed, locking on those who wanted to withdraw amongst the human cultivators, giving them a sense of terrifying pressure that left them unable to move.

Cai Yuxiang turned her head with a bitter expression on her face, as she saw two huge figures, as tall as Devil Mountains, descending from the sky.

However, they were not real Devil Mountains, but rather the original bodies of two insurmountable Demon Kings.

One was the towering double-headed Lion Griffin, with two heads and two humps rising from the back like mountains.

The other was the Six-eyed Barbaric Elephant, its multiple eyes constantly rotating, coldly staring at the tiny humans like ants. Its body reached eighty meters in height, towering over the Lion Griffin, and there was no difference between it and a mountain. It let out a roaring hum that made people’s souls tremble involuntarily.

“The outcome is certain, are there any human powerhouses coming to interfere?”

“It seems that humans are not afraid of the Primitive World. Where’s that fearless guy?”

These two were the strongest Demon Kings under the Demon Emperor.

Double-headed Lion King and Six-eyed Elephant King.

Their voices were incredibly loud, each word like a great bell, causing many human cultivators to cough up blood.

In front of them, humans were indeed very small, not much different from ants.

The Double-headed Lion King and Six-eyed Elephant King looked at some of the human cultivators, not even paying attention as to where Zhao Huai was.

They took a big step forward, wanting to squash everyone into a pulp of flesh and blood.

Just as the giant foot was about to approach Zhao Huai’s head, he raised both arms, giving off a dazzling display of golden dragon and tiger shadows, roaring even more authentically.

Zhao Huai’s aura was terrifying, his cultivation having been stacked to an unreachable height by the Battle King.

He was extremely close to the Metamorphosis Stage.

His magic power was domineering and full of vibrancy, with the dragon and tiger shadows looking very lifelike, as if their primordial spirits were escaping from their bodies.

The two insurmountable Demon Kings sensed the power of these two palms and were greatly shocked, sensing something was wrong.

The small human body before them seemed to contain infinite energy, which was pouring out through the arms, making explosive noises.

Zhao Huai flipped his hand, striking out the golden dragon and tiger shadows, actually knocking the two huge Demon Kings off their feet!

“Thud!”

The giant crash could shatter the eardrums of Initiation Stage cultivators upon impact.

“Sword Form One, The Sun-observing.”

Zhao Huai stomped his feet, leaped a hundred meters high, and pointed his sword.

The six revolving flying swords were unrivaled, bursting out with an unstoppable force. Each sword was filled with sharp sword intent, directly forming an invisible sword qi storm.

They constantly destroyed the bodies of the two Demon Kings, cutting through the ruins along the way, turning the broken city walls and houses into flat ground.

Boom!

The six swords pierced the indestructible flesh of the two Demon Kings, penetrating their internal organs, stirring them inside their bodies. The Demon Kings let out a dismal howl, spewing out a large amount of demonic blood from their mouths.

In their struggle, they knocked down many ruins, with giant rocks piling onto their bodies, burying them in yellow soil.

Zhao Huai reached out his hand again and grabbed with his five fingers.

The six flying swords shattered the internal organs of the two Demon Kings and drilled out of the ground once more, without a trace of blood on them.

Then, a stream of blood gushed out of the yellow soil like a creek.

The human cultivators watching were astonished by what they witnessed.

To simultaneously control six flying swords and slay two supreme Demon Kings with one sword each – if they had not seen it with their own eyes, who would believe it?

“Has this man’s sword skill realm already entered the Sword Saint realm?”

“Such a young Sword Saint, one has not appeared in the human world in five hundred years.”

“Upon stepping into the Ethereal Form in the Sword Skill realm, one can be considered unbeatable in the Rebirth Metamorphosing Realm.”

“Does anyone know the name and identity of this sword cultivator?”

Cai Yuxiang helped Gu Tianji up from the ruins, her once fair face now covered in mud. Her abdomen had finally stopped bleeding. Feeling Gu Tianji’s condition, she immediately rushed over.

As she saw Zhao Huai control the six flying swords, her eyes were filled with amazement, she looked at the stunning and proud figure that had risen to prominence, her eyes complex, as she spoke in her hoarse voice:”His name is Zhao Huai, a descendant of Ancestor Yan Zu and the current Lord of Yan Country. I believe you should be familiar with him.”

“He’s the descendant of Ancestor Yan Zu, Zhao Huai?”

“The Crown Prince of Yan Country who has been in hiding for five years?”

The remaining human cultivators showed surprise in their eyes.

“Sigh! I should have guessed it was him, and it should be him. Many years ago, he single-handedly fought the First Demonbred in Lingyin Temple’s Spiritual Mountains, gaining fame in the world. Later, it was said that he had a romance with Xia Country’s Empress. Now it seems that his sword skill talents are also extraordinary. If he achieves the Ethereal Form in Sword Skill Realm, he might have hope to deal with those cruel Demon Emperors.”

In fact, after so many years have passed, Zhao Huai has established his legends in the Immortal Cultivation World, and he has gained many followers among the people. However, not many people have actually seen him.

Now, Zhao Huai was standing right in front of them, looking so young, so radiant, so invincible.

With one hand, he restrained countless Demon Kings, his combat power unparalleled.

“The Crown Prince of Yan Country is here, must be for the Empress of Xia Country. However, the Empress is deep inside Anxi Prefecture, surrounded by many Demon Emperors. Even with Little Lingyin Temple’s abbot and many ancestor’s protection, her life and death remain unknown.”

“Regardless, at times like this, he dares to venture into Anxi Prefecture and rush into the monster tide, instead of choosing to live in hiding on his own and search for the Empress. He must be a person with love and righteousness in his heart.”

A slim female disciple of the sect said with emotion.

The people around her couldn’t help but nod their heads.

Apparently, everyone was touched by Zhao Huai’s character and demeanor.

“Boom!”

From within the yellow sand, two bull skulls with horns exuded black light as they drilled out from the ground. Their twisted patterns and aura were exactly the same as those Zhao Huai saw earlier.

This implied that only Demon Kings with high status and position would possess such treasures for protection.

In other words, two Demon Kings were not yet dead and intended to use these treasures to escape.

Zhao Huai’s expression remained unchanged, no ripple of emotions in his eyes, as he reached out and grabbed the sword.

Yu Sha obediently flew back to him.

“Zing!”

With a swift stroke of the sword.

A huge sword qi with an extremely long tail formed and cut into the ground beneath.

The explosive force caused by the sword qi opened a hundred-meter gap in the ground, and with a gurgling sound, an extremely powerful Demon King was split in half. Its blood had already dried up, and its body fell to the ground.

Attempting to escape in front of Zhao Huai was not an easy task.

“Damn human cultivator! I’ll make you perish with me!”

The other extremely powerful Demon King roared, planning to use all its demonic power to self-destruct its demonic core, taking the white-robed sword cultivator down with it.

However, Zhao Huai had experienced such a situation before and would not fall twice on the same spot.

He didn’t panic but threw Yu Sha forcefully instead. The sharp and pitch-black sword edge let out a shrill hum, penetrating its demonic core and preventing it from succeeding.

With a loud bang, the chaotic demonic qi dispersed in the air, self-destructing and destroying the Demon King’s huge body, turning it into a pile of bloody mist.

After the deaths of these two giant creatures, Zhao Huai’s sword qi aura increased significantly.

His cultivation advanced rapidly.

The power of these two Demon Kings was the strongest Zhao Huai had encountered since he came to the Western State, and the increase in strength they brought was considerable.

[Battle King]temporarily elevated his cultivation to the Metamorphosis Stage.

Zhao Huai closed his eyes and felt the sensation carefully.

The golden Perfect Rebirth Realm of his Qi Sea was glowing brightly, its appearance developing from a baby to a teenager.

His awakened primordial spirit became even more solid.

“Swoosh.”

As Zhao Huai crushed the bull skull with horns, the Yu Sha flying sword returned to his hand. Layers of black demonic power covered it, causing the black sword to glow brightly and exude surging sword qi that drove away all the demons in the distance. They ran in fear towards the centre of the city.

“It seems Yu Sha has evolved.”

Zhao Huai whispered.

The Yu Sha Treasured Sword had killed hundreds of demons, absorbing a large amount of demon blood and demon souls. Its sharpness and power had been upgraded.

Forged from a ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Treasured Jade, Yu Sha could devour demon blood to grow and become stronger.

Holding Yu Sha, Zhao Huai’s gaze followed the flying yellow sand and looked towards the centre of Anxi Prefecture.

The remaining human powerhouses followed the Xia Country’s Empress, also known as Madam, activating the grand formation they had pre-arranged and struggling in it on the brink of death.

All the Demon Emperors were concentrated there. It could be said that the real battle, the fierce battle, was yet to come.

If they could kill a Demon Emperor and establish dominance, intimidating tens of thousands of demons, the human race would stand a chance to turn the tide in the battle.

Or at least, the situation in this battle would have the chance to reverse.

With that thought, Zhao Huai silently held his sword and walked towards the city’s center.
