Chapter 35

Damn it, my spirit sword's edge is all nicked!

What's that, kid? My hoe's swinging so hard it's smoking!

Your hoe's only smoking? My blade's already chopped two to pieces!

The disciples of all sects in the ruins had gone berserk, swinging blades nonstop without blinking.

However, the demons were too many, seemingly endless, while their numbers dwindled the more they fought, with at least half the disciples dead.

Moreover, these demons are hard to kill; if not struck down in one blow, they quickly recover.

Azure Lotus Sword Technique!

Azure Lotus Leading the Way!

Lin Bai, wielding the Azure Lotus Sword, frenziedly slaughtered demons as sword qi swept out in all directions.

However, as his internal spiritual energy was depleted, his strength gradually gave out.

No way, senior brother! There are too many demons; if this continues we'll surely die!

He's supposed to become a man surpassing the Great Emperor; how could he capsize in a gutter like this!

Protect the junior sister well; I'll be right over!

Shi Hao, who was burying himself in slaughter, turned his head and shouted loudly upon hearing his junior brother's words.

After punching to death over ten demons before him, he rushed toward his junior brother and sister.

Elsewhere.

Wang Teng slashed with his sword, clearing over ten demons ahead, after which endless demons surged toward him.

Miss Jie, Brother Mu!

We've come this far; quickly bring out your life-saving trump cards!

He's not good at prolonged battles!

He excels at blitz tactics, or quickly ending fights.

It was once said that without heaven giving birth to Wang Teng, the six paths of eternity are like a long night!

After shouting, Wang Teng took out a scroll from his spatial ring.

The scarlet scroll contained a half-saint's full-power strike; it flew into the sky and released.

Accompanied by a tremendous roar, thousands of demons were crushed on the spot!

A large vacuum appeared!

The holy maiden Jie Mengxian of Lan Yue Sacred Ground and Mu Fan of Tian Qing Sacred Ground, seeing this, both brought out their own life-saving trump cards.

They also realized that if this continued they'd eventually be worn to death, with casualties already appearing among their sacred ground's disciples; they could wait no longer!

Jie Mengxian took off a jade tablet from her neck.

Mu Fan's was the same as Wang Teng's, also a scroll.

Like Wang Teng's, these are life-saving trump cards given by a half-saint of the sect, each containing a half-saint's full-power strike.

With a mighty surge of spiritual power.

Thousands of demons, accompanied by strange cries, were completely cleared out.

The remaining few were also slain by the disciples working together.

Only then did everyone stop, breathing a sigh of relief, grateful to have survived.

The brutal slaughter left at least more than half of the disciples from all sects dead.

'Phew, I'm exhausted; those damned demons are finally cleared out!'

'Yeah, thanks to the all-out effort of the sacred ground's people.'

Many collapsed on the spot, physically and mentally exhausted!

Shi Hao and the others also let out a long breath.

It was their first time personally participating in such a brutal war, leaving them both exhilarated and terrified!

In the ruins, corpses littered the fields and blood flowed like rivers!

Everyone proposed burying the disciples' corpses on the spot, and all agreed.

After all, there were at least some disciples from their own sects inside; otherwise, in this man-eating secret realm, they wouldn't bother.

'You all alright?'

I'm fine, senior brother; oh, the blood on me is all from others splashing.

I'm fine too, eldest senior brother.

Hua Light Speech took a breath and then said.

She now understood what the senior meant when he said her two senior brothers were not ordinary.

Too strong!

One like a war god punching and blasting a huge swath of demons, the other like a sword god incarnate, each strike slaying demons!

Only she, lacking the corresponding cultivation method, could not fully unleash the power of her sacred body.

This is why powerful forces, as long as they avoid calamity, only grow stronger.

They have deep foundations, countless techniques, countless pills, and complex connections.

Even if you have great talent, without techniques, pills, or a backer, it's still no good.

Think you can surpass them with ten years of bitter training? Don't dream!

(Except for wall-hangers, that is!)

Haha, Brother Shi, this battle felt truly exhilarating!

Wang Teng came over and patted Shi Hao's shoulder; two youths harboring the same ideal today fulfilled it together, slaying demons to uphold the Dao!

'Truly exhilarating!'

"But I don't want to compete with you, you kid—you recklessly unleash your trump card and kill that many demon beasts."

Shi Hao still remembers what that kid Wang Teng just said to him.

Want to compete with him to see who killed more demon beasts.

But how can we compare? You kid, as soon as you unleash your trump card you kill at least a thousand, but the trump card is also a kind of their strength.

"Haha, I was just joking."

Just as they were about to leave, an anomaly occurred again!

The blood-red clouds in the sky were completely shrouded in darkness, and the whole secret realm grew dark.

"What's happening?!"

"There can't be more demon beasts, right? Damn, here they come again!"

After the previous battle, everyone was exhausted.

"Kek kek kek!"

"You actually managed to destroy my demon army—quite interesting."

"I love eating geniuses like you the most, kek kek kek!"

A huge demon beast with two horns on its head appeared on the horizon.

"Holy shit! What monster is this!"

"Damn, this is a demon king! My life is over!"

Everyone panicked, trying to flee; against such a powerful demon beast they had no power to resist at all!

But where could they escape to inside the secret realm?

According to the time, at least another day is needed before the secret realm's exit opens again.

"Miss Jie, Brother Mu, hurry up and act!"

Wang Teng hurriedly took out another scroll after speaking; this demon beast's aura is too strong, far surpassing the strongest ghost slash in the ruins by more than a hundredfold!

Upon hearing Wang Teng's words, the three of them attacked together.

The fiery red scroll and jade pendant, together with a cyan scroll, were all hurled at the demon beast in the sky.

After the tremendous roar, the demon beast was completely unscathed!

"Hahaha, are you guys tickling me?"

"Holy shit! Could it be a demon king from the Sacred Realm?"

"We're doomed now!"

Wang Teng despaired, "Why would there be a Sacred Realm demon king in this secret realm?!"

This demon beast's aura is unstable; apparently it hasn't fully recovered, but it's still beyond what these people can withstand!

"I'll kill you all first, then go to the Eastern Domain and open a great slaughter!"

The demon king began to act—just standing still, the people below started screaming in agony.

"Ah! My hand! My foot!"

Some of the weaker people had their whole bodies begin to melt away under the demonic qi.

"Qingyu, release your sea of consciousness."

Just as Hua Qingyu was busy and didn't know what to do, the senior inside the ring spoke again.

She immediately released her sea of consciousness, and the remnant soul of Mu Shuixian entered.

Using her power this way will exact a price, but since she had taken the holy medicine earlier, it's still tolerable.

Seeing that Hua Qingyu and the others were about to be killed, she could not stand by idly.

"May I borrow the Azure Lotus Sword for a moment?"

Mu Shuixian said in an indisputable tone.

"Ah? Junior Sister, you want…?"

Lin Bai wanted to say more, but seeing his junior sister's icy gaze, he hurriedly handed over the Azure Lotus Sword.

Afterward, amid the shocked gazes of Shi Hao, Wang Teng, and the others, she flew toward the demon king in the sky.
