Chapter 400 - Heaven Devouring Demon

Chapter 400 - Heaven Devouring Demon

“Heavenly Demon Scattering Fist!” The Third Demon Elder blocked the attack once more with his fists. Long Chen’s attacks were surprisingly fierce, and he kept focusing on the Second Demon Elder. The other two had no choice but to help her.

His fists were scattered around the area like a mad dance and he attacked Long Chen from impossible angles!

“I’ve been waiting for you!” Long Chen chuckled. He had been relentlessly attacking the Second Demon Elder, but his real goal was the third! He hated that man a lot, so there was no way he was going to let him walk out of this alive.

“Demon Seed Planting Technique!” Long Chen used the Heaven-tier divine technique, and his Qi exploded.

Long Chen swept his blade and forced the first two Demon Elders away. The Third Demon Elder had been charging towards Long Chen, so now he was isolated from the other two!

Flames erupted from Long Chen’s body, and all 125 Divine Fire Clones appeared before they surged towards the first two Demon Elders. The two of them were strong, but it would still take time to deal with so many clones! Long Chen laughed and swung his sword wildly as he shot out Demon Emperor Sword Qi towards the Third Demon Elder. The sword Qi carved out the rocks on the ground and swept towards him!

“You were aiming for me!” The Third Demon Elder cried out in alarm and used Traceless Demon Shadow to dodge the attack before approaching Long Chen again.

“I know how to use Traceless Demon Shadow better than you! Taste my fist!”

The Third Demon Elder thought Long Chen was looking down at him and shouted in rage. His fury was fueled by the humiliation Long Chen had brought to him from stepping on him. He used Traceless Demon Shadow, and numerous afterimages ran after Long Chen.

Long Chen felt a dangerous presence and saw that a shadow was converging behind the Third Demon Elder. The latter circulated his Qi and melded the shadow behind him into a fist before sending it towards Long Chen!

“Heaven Devouring Demon!”

The ground shook from the technique. It was a powerful technique that was enhanced by Traceless Demon Shadow. Long Chen could not see where it was coming from!

But he knew the solution.

He probably doesn’t know anything about the Soul Swallowing Gaze. He used it and instantly found the real body.

Time to end your life. Long Chen saw that the other two were about to escape the encirclement of the Divine Fire Clones, so he used the Traceless Demon Shadow in a hurry and appeared in front of the real Third Demon Elder before swinging his sword.

“Shadow Sword Technique!”

The Shadow Sword Technique flew past the Third Demon Elder’s attack and destroyed it in the process. With the aid of the Divine Arm, Long Chen stabbed the Third Demon Elder’s heart.

Time stopped at that moment!

Everything stopped. The Third Demon Elder stared at Long Chen before looking down to see the Demon Emperor Sword inside his chest.

“What? You can’t believe that I killed you?” Long Chen chuckled and pulled the blade out before kicking him away. He then retreated using Traceless Demon Shadow and recalled all of the Divine Fire Clones. The other two Demon Elders finally caught up to them.

They were shocked at the condition of the Third! The First saw the bloody wound on the Third Demon Elder’s chest and didn’t know what to do. The body gradually grew colder, and the Third Demon Elder died with his eyes wide open in shock.

“He’s dead ...” Neither of them could register what was happening. They glared at Long Chen with intense ferocity.

The First Demon Elder was especially angry. His most prized disciple had been killed by Long Chen, and now his third brother was dead too!

Long Chen saw their crazed expressions, but he was not afraid. “I actually promised Murong Yu I wouldn’t kill the three of you since you are instrumental to the order of the Heavenly Demon Palace. Even my stepfather didn’t want me to kill you. I killed him as a warning. I am not the Long Chen you knew before. Do not offend me if you want to live. Come, I will kill anyone who steps forward! If you want to die now, come!”

“LONG CHEN, YOU IMPUDENT BASTARD!” The Second Demon Elder’s face was twitching.

“I’m not impudent. You can’t see reality. There’s no such thing as seniors and juniors—only strong and weak individuals. I might be your junior, but I can kill all of you! We are equals! I don’t want to fight you anymore, but I do not fear you. If you want, come and try resisting the power of the Demon Emperor Sword Technique.”

Long Chen’s final word was very scary. He had indeed not used the Demon Emperor Sword Technique yet, yet he had killed the Third Demon Elder. If he had used it, they would’ve all died.

He was right—he was young, but he was stronger than them.

“What should we do?” The Second Demon Elder was holding the corpse of the Third.

The First Demon Elder said nothing.

“To be fair, I still think that you have contributed a lot to the Heavenly Demon Palace. Considering that as well as your relationship with my master and Murong Yu, I will let you go. I hope you will cherish your lives.”

Long Chen left with Xiaolang without even looking back. He ran out of the valley while the two Demon Elders did nothing but watch him leave. Once Long Chen was gone, the First Demon Elder sighed. “Second Sister, it seems we faced a monster today. We’ve lost. Now I know why Zhao Qingyun let him go with the Demon Emperor Sword.”

“Why?”

The First Demon Elder sighed. “Because Zhao Qingyun trusted him. Zhao Qingyun was smarter than us from the very start. He trained Long Chen so much just so he could reap the rewards later on. Looks like Zhao Qingyun is better than us when it comes to choosing people. We thought we could win against Zhao Qingyun because we had a lot of disciples, but he only needed a single Long Chen to win against us.”

“Does that mean we lost?”

“No, we might have a chance.”

“Why?”

“Look at him. He’s already so strong when he’s so young. He will definitely reach the Heavenly Passage Realm before twenty. He would be considered as a genius even at the Holy Divine Territory, so there’s no way he will stay here. Once he leaves, Murong Yu will become the strongest disciple in the kingdom. She’s still your disciple, so the Palace Master position will still fall on her ...”

The Second Demon Elder understood what he meant.

“But Third Brother won’t be able to witness all of that.”

“That’s because he was too rash. He lived for so long and yet he couldn’t control his anger.” The First Demon Elder shook his head.

“Let’s go back and plead for mercy from Zhao Qingyun. Long Chen is not someone we can offend. He has all three techniques and even the Demon Emperor Sword, so he can kill anyone below the Heavenly Passage Realm. He can definitely put up a fight against Lin Zichen! I wonder who will win? The wielder of the Demon Emperor Sword or the Imperial Sword?”

That was what everyone wanted to know.

***

Soon after, Long Chen resumed his journey. The Heavenly Demon Palace chapter had been closed, and what awaited him was a storm that would take him further than he wanted.

Time passed as they journeyed. He put on the mask once they got close to the capital. He was now a twenty-five-year-old seasoned wandering cultivator.

Xiaolang shrunk until he could fit in Long Chen’s shirt. Even though Xiaolang didn’t want to do so, he had to endure it for his revenge. Xiaolang was too easily recognized; there was only one Sun Devouring Wolf in the world.

After completing his disguise, Long Chen asked Ling Xi, “Xiao Xi, do you recognize me?”

“I recognize you the moment I look into your eyes.” She giggled.

“What if I dig my eyes out?”

“I would still recognize your spirit and aura. I will always recognize you even if you turned into ashes. You are my one and only Brother Chen!” Her voice was tinged with a bit of worry.

“Alright, then. Let’s go!”
