Chapter 382: Chapter 382 One Slash Was Enough
Facing Yang Lu’s arrogance and ruthlessness, Xian Xianghua did not submit to him.
She stood up slowly, and her demonic Qi conjured into the Celestial Devil.
She glanced around, and the dead bodies made her a little dazzled.
Back then, the war between the upright and evil sects was as miserable as the current situation.
She had no fear, and her demonic might was unstoppable. She had never thought of the miserable people who had died during that battle.
Now that she became the weaker one, she could not retaliate against the invincible Yang Lu.
She felt grief in her heart.
The human race fought so many wars internally, and now they were going to die in the hands of external enemies.
No.
There was hope.
She remembered Zhou Xuanji. Her eyes turned determined.
The demonic Qi at her back grew tremendously. She roared into the sky, but the Heavenly Guards’ mocked even louder.
“This woman still wants to fight?”
“The Northern Wilderness Region is so weak.”
“Let’s kill her. Beauties are easy to find.”
“Hahaha, such a stubborn beauty is a rare sight.”
“I really don’t know what she is thinking. She overestimates herself.”
They mocked her as they wanted and were totally ignorant about how ruthless their own actions were.
Yang Lu raised his battle axe again and looked down at Xian Xianghua disdainfully.
“Save Auntie Xian, please!”
Zhou Xiaoxuan struggled with all her strength and was on the brink of bursting into tears.
Although Xian Xianghua only visited her twice when she was young, she treated her kindly and even taught her cultivation. Zhou Xiaoxuan had always felt admiration toward Xian Xianghua.
The most powerful woman in the world!
And the former top cultivator in the world!
The others all looked bitter on their faces. How could they save her?
Jiang Xue took out her magic staff, took a deep breath, and was prepared for battle.
She knew that she was still too weak, but Zhou Xuanji owed Xian Xianghua too much. Not only so, Xian Xianghua even taught her the Celestial Devil Rebirth Technique. So, whether for Zhou Xuanji or herself, she could not just leave her to die.
“What are you doing?”
Daoya Old Man threw her a stare and shouted at her.
Xiao Jinghong, Zhao Congjian, Han Shenbo, Lin Changge, Ning Zifeng, and the others quickly stepped forward. Each of them was determined to fight till their death.
They could flee this fight.
But where could they flee to?
Booooom–
At this moment, the gigantic pit began to shake violently and caught everyone’s attention. Fate Emperor River fluctuated uncontrollably, as though something was about to burst out.
The stones and rocks in the gigantic pit were all propelled upwards by the shaking. The scene was extremely impressive.
Hwahhh–
A bolt of dragon-like lightning struck down onto the gigantic pit with horrifying power, leaving behind a giant cavity.
“That is...”
Founding Emperor Chi Wei, who laid on the ground far away, grew excited. His breathing grew rapid as his body trembled without stopping.
Yang Lu frowned and felt that something bad was going to happen.
He immediately swung his axe toward Fate Emperor River.
Massive thunderbolts struck down. It was so bright that the heavens and the earth paled in color.
Followed by a terrifyingly loud sound of explosion!
An invisible barrier blocked all the lightning. The view was so impressive that everyone was awestruck.
The Heavenly Guards were greatly shocked. They could not even believe their own eyes.
They looked toward Fate Emperor River instinctively.
And they saw someone rising slowly from within Fate Emperor River.
It was Zhou XuanJi.
Wearing the Tri-Sun Flame Qi Robe, his black hair danced in the wind, and his hands were relaxed. His face was grave and stern, and a purple Taichi diagram was floating at his forehead. Once he appeared, everything was silent. The bolts of lightning dispersed.
He stood on the Fate Emperor River but did not emanate a powerful aura. In fact, he almost had no aura, just like an ordinary person. He had already integrated with the heavens and the earth.
All eyes were on him.
Zhou Xiaoxuan, Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others were exhilarated.
He really did not die!
The faces of all of Emperor Sword Court’s disciples turned red out of excitement. Each clasped their fists and tried their best to keep their emotions under control.
Zhou Xuanji glanced at the Heavenly Guards before looking toward Xian Xianghua.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
His voice was calm. There wasn’t any emotional turmoil in his voice.
He had seen the dead bodies all around, and they were beyond counting. This was enough for him to know how miserable the battle had been.
Xian Xianghua heaved a sigh of relief. She sat down and replied, “If you still hadn’t come out, then I would be dead for real.”
She could not see through Zhou Xuanji. But the more that was true, the more peaceful she felt.
Zhou Xuanji lifted his head and looked at the Heavenly Guards. He rose slowly as the Sun-Devouring Tiangou Sword appeared in his hand.
Even under the dim sky, cold flashes of light could be seen from his sword.
“You are Zhou Xuanji? Sixth Tribulation Scattered Immortal. Not bad,” Yang Lu said with squinted eyes. Who else could come out from Fate Emperor River other than Zhou Xuanji?
His words surprised those who were still alive.
The Sword Emperor had reached the cultivation of Sixth Tribulation Scattered Immortal?
Everyone in the Northern Wilderness Region knew that Zhou Xuanji’s power could not be measured by cultivation stages. But each time he broke through to new stages, his power grew tremendously.
“But it’s a pity. I’m an Eighth Tribulation Scattered Immortal. Even if you can cross stages in a battle, you will not be able to stand up to me. Now, kneel before me and beg for mercy. I will reconsider your death, depending on your performance,” Yang Lu laughed conceitedly. He did not take Zhou Xuanji seriously at all.
He was a genius too!
He immediately saw that Zhou Xuanji had yet to become a Great Emperor, so he had no fear for him.
Zhou Xuanji stopped in midair and began touching the Sun-Devouring Tiangou Sword. “Although I have yet to become a Great Emperor, I still broke through.”
Zhou Xuanji said, “Do you know what I broke through to?”
Yang Lu smiled with disdain. He thought that Zhou Xuanji was just pretending to be mysterious.
He did not allow his Heavenly Guards to attack because he would deal with Zhou Xuanji himself.
Killing the top cultivator in the world, he would be able to please Spirit Sovereign Yan. When Ji Xian revived, he would surely be greatly rewarded.
“Within three sword moves, if I can’t kill you, I will kill myself here,” Zhou Xuanji looked up at Yang Lu and said casually, but his eyes looked fearsome.
Hearing his words, the Heavenly Guards burst out into loud laughter.
This guy must be crazy?
A Sixth Tribulation Scattered Immortal wants to kill an Eighth Tribulation Scattered Immortal within three moves?
Yang Lu was laughing too, but he was a little alert in his heart. He noticed that all of Emperor Sword Court’s disciples were still looking at Zhou Xuanji fanatically, as though they were on steroids.
Could it be that Zhou Xuanji had some kind of a scheme?
Without any words, he charged toward Zhou Xuanji with his axes.
He moved with extreme speed!
Everyone could not even catch up with their sight, including the 29 Heavenly Guards.
However!
Zhou Xuanji was even faster!
He raised his sword and slashed. The entire process was so fast that no one saw it. It seemed as though he had not moved his hand at all.
A ray of sword light flashed and disappeared instantly.
Yang Lu’s pupils contracted and instinctively wanted to block with his twin axes.
Pshhhh!
His head broke away from his body, rotating and flying off in the air. Blood splattered from along his neck.
The scene froze. Everyone’s jaws dropped.
From their perspective, Yang Lu’s head was chopped off strangely without Zhou Xuanji even moving.
While they were aghast, they were also absolutely terrified.
They had all seen Yang Lu’s prowess. He had shown his power by eliminating more than 90 percent of the human alliance.
Zhou Xuanji came up to Yang Lu with one step and grasped his shoulder. He used the World Internalization and began absorbing his magic energy.
“Sorry, I overestimated you. One sword move is enough.”
Zhou Xuanji stared at Yang Lu’s head and smiled mockingly.
