Chapter 435: The Demon Lord Reappears

Only through the joint efforts of the Earth Emperor and Nuwa's Daughter can the Human Realm be restored to tranquility.

Therefore, Duan Fengyun and Yu Xiaoxue still have this momentous mission to complete.

Just as the two were about to fly to the top of the tower, Chen Jingchou, who had already fallen, suddenly stood up.

Seeing this, Duan Fengyun immediately summoned the Xuanyuan Sword, looking at Chen Jingchou with an expression of disbelief.

Duan Fengyun simply did not believe that Chen Jingchou could return from the dead; that last sword strike of his had clearly extinguished all of Chen Jingchou's vitality, and there was absolutely no possibility of Chen Jingchou being resurrected.

Yet Chen Jingchou had now stood back up, which left Duan Fengyun somewhat bewildered.

Guyue noticed that something was wrong with Chen Jingchou and spoke up:

"Everyone, be careful; Chen Jingchou looks a bit off."

Chen Jingchou opened his eyes, looked at his own hands, and after sensing the existence of his physical body, he laughed heartily:

"Hahahaha, this lord has returned!

Chen Jingchou, did you really think you could completely annihilate this lord?

This lord is the Demon Lord, an immortal and indestructible Demon Lord; how could a mere Mortal like you destroy me?

Now, this perfect body of yours belongs to this lord; this lord will use your body to complete my grand ambition of a thousand autumns."

It turned out that the one resurrected was not Chen Jingchou, but the Demon Lord who had been devoured by him; after Chen Jingchou was beaten to the point of his soul scattering by Duan Fengyun, the Demon Lord within Chen Jingchou's body emerged.

Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"You are the Demon Lord?

Weren't you already devoured by Chen Jingchou?

How could you possibly have come back out? What on earth is going on?"

Duan Fengyun had not expected that just after dealing with one Chen Jingchou, another Demon Lord would appear; it was truly one wave after another.

Seeing the returned Demon Lord, Ning Ke shouted excitedly:

"Demon Father, you are alright, you have returned, this is wonderful!"

The Demon Lord looked at Ning Ke, nodded slightly, and said:

"Yes, my good daughter, Demon Father has returned.

Even Demon Father did not expect that Chen Jingchou could actually devour this lord's demonic power.

However, this lord is an immortal and indestructible demon; how could he, Chen Jingchou, devour me? I was merely suppressed within his body, and as his soul scattered, I emerged once again.

Now is the time for this lord to take action and seize the Human Realm; good daughter, soon the Human Realm will belong to us."

Hearing the Demon Lord disregard him and the others entirely, Duan Fengyun spoke up:

"Hey, Demon Lord, we are still here.

Even Chen Jingchou was no match for me; you, a defeated foe, are still acting so rampant here.

Demon Lord, you had better stop dreaming your spring and autumn dreams; you should return to your Demon Realm early and live your life as the Lord of the Demon Realm obediently.

The Human Realm does not welcome you; you and Ning Ke should hurry up and get lost with your gang of subordinates."

Duan Fengyun now did not take the Demon Lord seriously at all; after all, the Demon Lord could not even handle Chen Jingchou, and since he had already wiped out Chen Jingchou, the Demon Lord was even less worth looking at in his eyes.

Watching the arrogant Duan Fengyun after his victory, the Demon Lord laughed heartily:

"Duan Fengyun, do you think that because you defeated Chen Jingchou, you will be a match for me?

To tell you the truth, Chen Jingchou only possessed this lord's demonic power, but he had no idea how to use it.

While he was fighting you, I quietly assimilated with his body; now my demonic power and his body have completely assimilated, and this lord can exert one hundred percent of my power.

Even if your master, Xuanyuan Huangdi, were standing before this lord now, this lord would not fear him in the slightest.

And as for your Slash Heaven Sword Art, I do not believe you can execute another Slash Heaven Sword Art at the Divine Realm level.

Duan Fengyun, your defeat today is sealed; your Human Realm is destined to be ruled by my Demon Realm, ha!"

Duan Fengyun looked at the Demon Lord calmly, but his heart was surging with waves.

The Demon Lord was indeed correct; he truly could no longer execute the Slash Heaven Sword Art at the Divine Realm level.

He had not expected just now that the Slash Heaven Sword Art at the Divine Realm level would consume so much magic power; he simply had no way to use the Slash Heaven Sword Art at the Divine Realm level now.

Watching the silent Duan Fengyun, the Demon Lord sneered:

"What is it? Did I hit the mark, and now you don't know how to respond?

Duan Fengyun, today is the day of death for you and the Human Realm; hurry up and say goodbye to your Human Realm."

The Demon Lord inhaled towards the Demon Fifteen on the side, and Demon Fifteen instantly flew into the Demon Lord's hand.

The Demon Lord looked at Demon Fifteen; he did not like using swords, so the Demon Lord raised his hand and waved it, and Demon Fifteen directly transformed into a large broadsword.

The Demon Lord still preferred this kind of simple and brutal weapon.

The Demon Lord held the demon blade and said to Duan Fengyun:

"Duan Fengyun, pick up your Xuanyuan Sword.

Aren't you going to seal me and the Demon Realm again for your master?

I am waiting for you here!"

Duan Fengyun did not say a word, but summoned Fifteen from the Void; now was the time for him to use his second trump card.

However, Duan Fengyun was not in a hurry to let Sword Fifteen and the Xuanyuan Sword merge; Duan Fengyun handed Sword Fifteen to Yu Xiaoxue and said:

"Miss Xiaoxue, keep Fifteen safe for me; it will be of great use later."

Yu Xiaoxue nodded; although she did not know why Duan Fengyun had suddenly given her Sword Fifteen, Yu Xiaoxue knew that Duan Fengyun must have his reasons for doing so.

Just as Duan Fengyun held his sword and prepared to step forward, he was stopped by Yuwen Tuo.

Yuwen Tuo spoke up:

"Big Brother, this time you should let me go up with you.

I cannot watch you face the Demon Lord alone; I also want to contribute my strength to the Human Realm."

Duan Fengyun patted Yuwen Tuo on the shoulder and said:

"Brother Yuwen, I appreciate your good intentions, but this is a decisive battle between me and the Demon Lord on behalf of my master; you had better just let me be.

Besides, the Demon Lord is your father-in-law after all; are you sure you want to let Ning Ke watch you and her father face each other in a life-or-death struggle?

Just keep a close eye on Ning Ke for me later and don't let her get caught up in the battle between me and the Demon Lord; I'm afraid that swords have no eyes and she might be accidentally injured."

Yuwen Tuo turned to look at Ning Ke; at this moment, Ning Ke also had a helpless expression, as she did not know which side she should help.

On one side was the Demon Father who gave birth to and raised her, and on the other was the man she loved most; Ning Ke simply did not know what to do, so she could only stand frozen in place.

However, this state of Ning Ke was exactly what the Demon Lord and Duan Fengyun wanted most.

Duan Fengyun did not want Ning Ke to be drawn into his battle with the Demon Lord, and the Demon Lord felt the same.

Although the Demon Lord was full of confidence in today's victory, he still left a way out for Ning Ke.

As long as Ning Ke did not intervene, even if he were defeated later, he believed that given the relationship between Ning Ke and Yuwen Tuo, Duan Fengyun and the others would not do anything to Ning Ke.

Therefore, the Demon Lord very much hoped that Ning Ke would just stay where she was and not interfere in the matters between him and Duan Fengyun.

Let the time between them as men be resolved by the weapons in their hands.

With a loud shout, Duan Fengyun held the Xuanyuan Sword and collided with the Demon Lord.

From this collision, Duan Fengyun deeply felt the gap between Jing Chou and the Demon Lord.

Jing Chou possessed the Demon Lord's full power but did not know how to apply it.

But the Demon Lord was now applying his own power to the extreme; Duan Fengyun only felt that all the power he attacked the Demon Lord with was completely neutralized by the Demon Lord, like a clay ox entering the sea, causing absolutely no impact on the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord laughed heartily, raised his demon blade, and kept hacking away at Duan Fengyun's Xuanyuan Sword.

Although the Demon Lord's demon blade did not cause any damage to the Xuanyuan Sword, the web between Duan Fengyun's thumb and index finger holding the sword was now in great pain.

From the collision of the two divine weapons, even his Kirin Arm actually felt a trace of pain.

However, Duan Fengyun was not one to fear trouble; since the Demon Lord used such a savage fighting style, Duan Fengyun also began a frantic attack.

Duan Fengyun raised the Xuanyuan Sword and used the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin directly; his whole body was like a drill, aiming at the Demon Lord's chest and charging continuously, as if he wanted to beat the Demon Lord down.

However, Duan Fengyun, whose magic power was insufficient due to his previous use of the Slash Heaven Sword Drawing Technique, began to feel a lack of stamina.

After seeing Duan Fengyun's condition, the Demon Lord laughed and said:

"Duan Fengyun, how is it? Are you feeling a lack of stamina?

Admit defeat early; perhaps I can give you a quick end."

Duan Fengyun looked at the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and shouted:

"Demon Realm, don't daydream; with the Xuanyuan Sword in my hand, I believe I can definitely defeat you."

If Duan Fengyun had said anything else, the Demon Lord might have fought him a bit more, but Duan Fengyun mentioning the Xuanyuan Sword made the Demon Lord laugh uncontrollably.

"Haha, Duan Fengyun, you actually pinned your hopes on the broken piece of iron in your hand.

Indeed, the Xuanyuan Sword is invincible under heaven, but it is a pity that what you have in your hand is just a piece of scrap metal; it is of no use to me at all, hahahaha."

Hearing the Demon Lord's words, Yuwen Tuo also looked at the Xuanyuan Sword with a heavy expression.

Guyue saw Yuwen Tuo's appearance, and it seemed as if Yuwen Tuo knew something.

Guyue asked:

"Yuwen Tuo, do you know something?

Why would the Demon Lord say that the Xuanyuan Sword in Duan Fengyun's hand is a piece of scrap metal?"

Yuwen Tuo raised his own Xuanyuan Sword and placed the tiny, hard-to-see nick on the Xuanyuan Sword in front of Guyue Xianren, saying:

"There is a nick here on the Xuanyuan Sword; I don't know when it was caused either.

Perhaps this is what the Demon Lord is talking about!"

Hearing Yuwen Tuo's words, Guyue looked the Xuanyuan Sword up and down; indeed, there was a very, very small nick on the Xuanyuan Sword.

Guyue cried out 'terrible' in his heart; he was the former owner of the Xuanyuan Sword, so he naturally knew the importance of the Xuanyuan Sword's integrity.

If the Xuanyuan Sword was missing a piece, it would not be complete, and it could not exert one hundred percent of its power.

It was no wonder the Demon Lord would say that what Duan Fengyun held was a piece of scrap metal; so that was it.

It was just that Guyue Xianren was very puzzled; it had already reached this point, so why hadn't the missing part of the Xuanyuan Sword appeared yet?

Logically speaking, for a divine weapon like the Xuanyuan Sword, the missing part should have slowly drawn near to the Xuanyuan Sword; how could it still not have appeared by now?
