Chapter 687: Chapter 697: Scared Pale
"Mr. Chu, it’s one thing that you’re trash, but the incessant nonsense spewing from your mouth is another. If you’re too cowardly to lead the way, then scurry back to your sect and stop embarrassing yourself here."
"Coward!"
"Liar!"
One after another, the curses were sharp and incessant.
However, no one dared to actually strike Chu Feng. At most, they just hurled some insults.
After all, Chu Feng was a disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Wanfa Sect, and this time there were more than a dozen others from his sect present. Elder Zi Xu, You Hu, and the rest were all unmatchably strong.
"That’s enough. Whether you believe me or not is up to you!"
Chu Feng’s face remained indifferent, akin to speaking of ice to summer insects. If these people couldn’t sense the danger, so be it.
Now they even doubted Chu Feng’s ability.
Then they could only march to their deaths.
"Han Sheng, Lu Kuixi, weren’t you two slandering me as a liar? Fine then, any one of you can scout ahead. We can simply deduct this leg of the journey, and I will lead for a few dozen more miles later on."
Seeing Han Sheng and Lu Kuixi pressing him, Chu Feng immediately decided to give them a taste of hardship.
With his powerful Divine Sense, he was certain that his own perceptions were absolutely correct.
"Alright, those are your words!"
Han Sheng, trusting in his own formidable strength and considering danger beneath his concern, immediately decided to take over this part of the path for Chu Feng.
Han Sheng immediately took control of his sword and soared out, scouting ahead.
As a result, after flying straight for ten miles, he encountered no dangers. Ten miles was basically the maximum scouting range of a Nine-star Sword God.
"Chu Feng, what do you have to say now?"
Though Han Sheng had been somewhat nervous at the start, he relaxed quite a bit after advancing ten miles through the skies without facing any danger.
"Be careful!"
Almost immediately as Han Sheng’s voice fell, a terrifyingly sinister green demon light burst forth from the dense forest below.
Such a horrific demon light, tinged with color, was clearly emitted by a creature of the Great Demon Level.
"This is a Second Tribulation Demon!"
Si Huang’s expression turned extremely grave, regretting not having listened to Chu Feng earlier.
Like human powerhouses, once a demon beast’s cultivation reaches the Great Demon Realm, it will be sensed by the heavens and earth.
Whether human or demon beast, to cultivate strength and seek immortality is an act against the natural order.
Defying the natural order means inviting punishment, and so calamities and tribulations will descend.
When your cultivation is weak, the heavens and earth simply can’t be bothered with you.
Put bluntly, you’re not yet qualified to be punished by the heavens and earth.
Only reaching the Supreme Sword God Realm or Great Demon Realm would capture the attention of the heavens and earth.
With each calamity survived, one’s strength increases slightly.
At the same time, the calamities sent by the Heavenly Dao become increasingly fearsome.
There could be up to nine heavenly calamities in total.
If all are transcended, one can achieve true enlightenment and fulfillment.
A Second Tribulation Demon is one that has successfully withstood two heavenly tribulations. Its power is comparable to that of a human Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God.
Such an existence is not something Han Sheng can contend with, let alone Si Huang, a Supreme Sword God herself.
"Invading my territory, disturbing my cultivation, all you humans shall die!"
A hoarse, cold voice echoed between heaven and earth.
Boom boom boom!
Han Sheng had already engaged it in combat, and after just two moves, he was left screaming, spitting blood, and fleeing in defeat.
"Save me!"
After experiencing the terrifying power of this Second Tribulation Demon, Han Sheng was scared out of his wits, his face turned green with fear. All his pride and dignity were utterly shattered.
He desperately called out to the Sect’s powerhouses for help.
"All Sword God Cultivators at the Nine-star Sword God Level, join me in holding back this fiend, everyone else must flee immediately!" Si Huang’s voice was firm and icy, brooking no doubt.
She had already unleashed the sword lotus and valiantly launched her attack.
As expected of a warrior at the Supreme Sword God Level, the sword lotus she cast out shimmered with colorful brilliance. Standing atop the sword lotus, she appeared like a Heavenly Fairy descending from the ninth heaven.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The splendid sword light clashed fiercely with the demon’s monstrous glow.
But in less than two seconds, her sword light was shattered, and silver blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
The blood of ordinary people is red. As one’s cultivation keeps increasing, reaching the Sword Saint Level, the blood slowly turns silver.
This also signifies a nobler lineage.
Si Huang had cultivated to the Supreme Sword God Realm, and the blood that flowed out was now pure silver.
"We will come to your aid!"
Facing such a formidable enemy, the many Elders and elite members of the Inner Sect of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect were exceptionally united.
If they could not unite against the enemy, of the more than two hundred people present today, only a very few would likely survive.
"Seeking death!"
The Great Demon, seeing so many Nine-star Sword God’s Strong People joining forces to attack it, became even more enraged.
The green glow twisted and transformed into a terribly fearsome demon claw.
Swish, swish, swish!
Every swipe of its claw ensured a Nine-star Sword God Level warrior was injured. An unfortunate one even had his Sword Domain shattered and was instantly torn to shreds, with not even his bones left intact.
The green monstrous light completely devoured that person’s essence blood and soul in an instant.
Demons eating humans is not a fabricated tale but a reality. By consuming strong humans, they can become even more powerful.
It is like taking a Great Replenishing Pill, saving them hundreds or even thousands of years of arduous cultivation.
"This demon’s power is far too horrifying; we are no match! What are we to do?" Several Sect Elders all showed worrying expressions on their faces.
"Evil barrier, you forced my hand!"
Si Huang’s cold voice echoed; her Divine Weapon was a Heavenly Divine Weapon. Extremely dazzling.
It was indeed a weapon of Magical Treasure Level.
"Dongxue, Qiu Ju, Xia Lu, Chun Hua, the four of you come with me to form this array!" As soon as Si Huang finished speaking, Dongxue and the other three women flew behind Si Huang, together they began arranging the Sword Array.
Si Huang brought out an Array Plate which turned out to be the Five Elements Sword Formation Plate.
Once arranged, it was ceaselessly regenerative, where the Five Elements generated and overcame each other, with a terrifying power.
"This is the Small Five Elements Sword Formation, and that Array Plate is a treasure Si Huang acquired during her adventures. This item is indeed formidable, worth even more than a Magical Treasure. If only I could get one someday," Yan Qing’s eyes gleamed with envy.
Array Plates are relics from Ancient Times, just like Magical Treasures.
Their refining methods have long been lost.
To arrange a Sword Array, one must possess the corresponding Array Plate.
"I wonder, compared to my Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation, which one is stronger or weaker?"
Chu Feng observed carefully and noted that Si Huang’s Small Five Elements Sword Formation wasn’t especially strong in terms of attack power but was nearly indestructible and could regenerate endlessly.
It might be better suited for protracted battles.
In contrast, Chu Feng’s Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation was a Killing Array. It was immensely powerful and could determine the outcome in an instant.
By that comparison, the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation would seem to be more formidable.
After all, when Chu Feng first acquired it, he used this formation to defeat the Ancient Horn Sore Demon.
