Chapter 3306: The Demon Sword King's Bewitchment: Do You Want to Become Stronger

~9 min read 1,770 words

Zhao Beixuan wasn't stupid either.

He immediately reacted.

The Demon Sword King's soul should be attached to his Supreme Sword Bone, thus being taken away from the Demon-Suppressing Sword Valley by him.

"It's merely a wisp of a soul; what use is a lucky escape?"

Zhao Beixuan's gaze was cold.

As one of the Seventy-Two Demon Kings of the Dark Realm.

The Demon Sword King was of great significance.

He immediately struck with his sword, slashing at the Demon Sword King's soul.

And that crow, from its blood-colored pupils, seemed to spew forth endless sword light.

Almost in an instant, it froze Zhao Beixuan in place.

He even felt that if he moved even a little more.

His Primordial Spirit soul would be directly exterminated by the Demon Sword King's soul!

"How is this possible……"

Zhao Beixuan's expression stiffened.

This Demon Sword King had been suppressed for countless ages.

Merely a leaked wisp of his soul was already this strong, leaving him completely unable to resist.

"This King made a move to save you in the Demon-Suppressing Sword Valley, and this is how you repay me?" The Demon Sword King's soul sneered.

"Dark Realm foreign races, everyone has the duty to execute them." Zhao Beixuan said coldly.

"In the previous confrontation, if not for this King secretly making a move to bestow power."

"Facing that Jun family descendant, you would have been even more unable to withstand a single blow." The Demon Sword King said.

"Jun family descendant, he is……" Zhao Beixuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He knew that the one the Demon Sword King referred to was naturally Jun Xiaoyao.

But before, even the Sword Clan hadn't completely confirmed it.

"How could this King forget the bloodline aura of that clan?"

Seemingly thinking of something, the Demon Sword King's tone became bone-chillingly cold like never before.

To this day he still couldn't forget that sword strike from the Jun family's person back then.

Never before had anyone been able to suppress him to such an extent in the Sword Dao.

It could be said, if not for that Jun family person making a move.

He, the Demon Sword King, would absolutely not have been suppressed and sealed.

"He really is a Jun family person……" Zhao Beixuan murmured, somewhat dazed.

The Jun family of old, in the vast starry sky, was a legendary existence.

He hadn't expected that Jun Xiaoyao was not only the King of the Heavenly Edict Immortal Dynasty.

But actually also a Jun family descendant.

Such an identity and background was undoubtedly another blow to his Dao heart.

Jun Xiaoyao, even in terms of identity and background, suppressed him.

The Demon Sword King's spoke again.

"You have grievances with him."

"And this King likewise has grievances with the Jun family."

"Next, this King can give you a choice."

"For the sake of so-called justice, oppose this King, but I will directly wipe you out."

"The other choice is cooperation; after this King breaks the seal, I can not target the Sword Clan."

"Even, this King can still assist you, letting your strength rise another level, even gaining the ability to defeat that Jun family descendant!"

The Demon Sword King's words were like a demonic voice pouring into the ears, carrying a temptation.

Defeat Jun Xiaoyao!

A fierce glint flashed through Zhao Beixuan's eyes.

It could be said, Jun Xiaoyao had already become his greatest inner demon.

If not eliminated, he would find it difficult to make even an inch of progress for the rest of his life!

The path of cultivation would be thoroughly severed.

However, cooperating with the Demon Sword King was no different from seeking a tiger's skin.

Zhao Beixuan was, after all, the Sword Clan's Sword Son.

And what had been instilled into his mind before was that Dark Realm foreign races were mortal enemies.

The Demon Sword King's soul sneered.

"So-called right and wrong, good and evil, are merely arguments built upon strength."

"If your strength is stronger than that Jun family descendant, then you are justice, and he is evil."

"Of course, if you insist on stubbornly resisting this King."

"Then this King will make it so you don't even have a chance for revenge, directly erasing you!"

The Demon Sword King's words made Zhao Beixuan clench his fists.

"I am forced by circumstances; if I don't do this, I will die……"

Zhao Beixuan murmured in his heart.

But in truth, he knew this was merely an excuse.

He wanted to become stronger; he wanted to trample Jun Xiaoyao beneath his feet.

"What should I do?"

Zhao Beixuan's voice was deep and cold as he looked at the crow formed from the Demon Sword King's soul.

"No rush. You ought to know — this King's former personal demonic weapon, the Demon Sword Blood Cangqiong." The Demon Sword King spoke.

Zhao Beixuan's mind trembled with awe.

Back then, the Demon Sword King, wielding the Demon Sword Blood Cangqiong, swept across the vast starry sky.

Countless sword cultivators died beneath this one ferocious weapon.

Their entire bodies' soul essence and blood all became nourishment for the Demon Sword Blood Cangqiong.

The power of Blood Cangqiong was, naturally, beyond description.

Later, as the Demon Sword King was suppressed and sealed.

The Demon Sword Blood Cangqiong was also sealed away by the Sword Clan in a certain place.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Beixuan asked.

"As the Sword Clan's Sword Son, you ought to know the sealing location of Blood Cangqiong."

"Blood Cangqiong itself is not only extremely strong, it has also given birth to a sword spirit."

"If you can find Blood Cangqiong and unseal it, you will be able to raise your strength." The Demon Sword King spoke.

Zhao Beixuan shook his head: "This is impossible. That Demon Sword Blood Cangqiong is sealed under guard, with Sword Clan experts watching over it. With just me alone, it's fundamentally impossible to unseal it."

The Demon Sword King's soul said: "You only need to tell this King the Demon Sword's sealing location; this King naturally has methods."

Zhao Beixuan hesitated in his heart; doing this was almost tantamount to betraying the Sword Clan.

But the current situation left him no room to refuse.

Even inside the Snow Moon Ancient Realm, he feared he wouldn't have time to send word before the Demon Sword King's soul could annihilate him.

Zhao Beixuan was unwilling; he was unwilling to simply perish like this.

Even more unwilling to accept that Jun Xiaoyao would forever remain high above in the future.

He didn't want to be a loser.

He let out a light breath.

Zhao Beixuan said: "That Demon Sword Blood Cangqiong is sealed in the Hengyan Realm, undergoing endless tempering by earth fire, in hopes of shedding its demonic nature so it can be used by the Sword Clan."

"Good."

The Demon Sword King's soul once more turned into strands of black mist, surging into Zhao Beixuan's Supreme Sword Bone.

Zhao Beixuan exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

He himself didn't know whether he felt joy or sorrow right now.

The joy was that he finally had a way to raise his strength and contend against Jun Xiaoyao.

The sorrow was that doing this was undoubtedly betraying the Sword Clan, and even the entire vast starry sky.

But at present, he had no choice either.

However, the Demon Sword King said that as long as he broke the seal, he wouldn't trouble the Sword Clan.

Regardless of whether those words were true or false.

At least from the Demon Sword King's perspective, the ones he resented most were the Jun family people.

This happened to align perfectly with his own goal.

He could just borrow the Demon Sword King's power to raise his strength and defeat that Jun Xiaoyao.

This might, on the contrary, be an opportunity.

After all, scanning the vast starry sky, who else could obtain the Dark Realm Demon King's assistance and gain the Dark Realm Demon King's power?

Absolutely no one!

Only he, Zhao Beixuan, could obtain the Dark Realm Demon King's power!

"Jun Xiaoyao, with my talent alone, perhaps I can never catch up to you."

"But what if you add the Demon Sword King?"

A faint, cold glint flashed through Zhao Beixuan's eyes.

The Demon Sword King's Sword Dao strength could be called the absolute peak.

Even if he could only obtain one-thousandth of the Demon Sword King's Sword Dao cultivation, it would be enough to effortlessly sweep through his peers!

On the other side, in the second layer of the Cangmang Spirit Realm, at the Free-and-Easy Alliance's base, inside Nanyuan City.

Jun Xiaoyao had also received some news and information regarding the Sword Clan.

"The Suppressing Demon Sword Valley, the Demon Sword King, was once injured by the Jun family's strongest expert, and thus was suppressed."

Having obtained this news, Jun Xiaoyao's eyes revealed a trace of contemplation.

During his previous exchange with Zhao Beixuan, he had vaguely sensed a hidden, cold aura.

"This Suppressing Demon Sword Valley is one of the Sword Clan's forbidden cultivation grounds."

"Zhao Beixuan perhaps entered the Suppressing Demon Sword Valley, thereby forming some connection with the Demon Sword King."

"Only this explains that hidden aura within his body; it should come from inside the Supreme Sword Bone."

Jun Xiaoyao guessed.

But instead he revealed a faint smile.

He had originally thought this Zhao Beixuan was merely a passerby wanting to avenge a friend.

Unexpectedly, he could actually draw out an existence like the Demon Sword King.

Just right — he had just broken through to the Emperor-tier Hegemon, so he should still have the capacity to suppress and seal a new Demon King.

If he could suppress and seal the Demon Sword King, what kind of transformation would it bring to his Sword Dao cultivation?

"I hope Zhao Beixuan can be of some use; if he releases that Demon Sword King, it will instead make things convenient for me."

Jun Xiaoyao cannot go directly to the Sword Clan to suppress that Demon Sword King.

He does not want the news of the Seal of Darkness to leak out right now.

If that happens, he will become the target of all arrows.

Be it the various forces of the vast starry sky, or the possible lurking forces of the Dark Realm's alien races.

Countless pairs of eyes will be watching him, wanting to seize his Seal of Darkness, or to destroy him.

Therefore, Jun Xiaoyao needs to accomplish this matter in secret.

And this, naturally, cannot do without the help of this chess piece, Zhao Beixuan.
