I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 338 - 273: Encounter with the Demon Monarch (2)
Though wary of True Monarch Red Sun’s Grand Array, he didn’t show the slightest sign of it, instead continuing to provoke him:
"In half an hour, the ’Void Thunder Fiend’ will be fully formed—then, whoever gets it will rely on their own skill, and I won’t hold back at that time."
True Monarch Red Sun stared fixedly at Master Dingxu, the flames of the Cyan Yang Demon Lamp in his hand flickered incessantly, clearly weighing the pros and cons.
Although both were at the Nascent Soul Early-stage, Master Dingxu’s Void Escape Skill was indeed troublesome.
If they really fought, it would be difficult to gain an advantage in the struggle. It would be better to wait for the ’Void Thunder Fiend’ to form and use auxiliary arrays to seize it. The chances of success would be much higher.
"After half an hour, it will depend on our skills."
True Monarch Red Sun finally suppressed his anger, the flames of the Cyan Yang Demon Lamp in his hand slowly subsiding, returning to their previous size.
Master Dingxu snorted coldly, saying no more, his gaze turning back to the center ’Void Thunder Fiend’.
At this moment, the silver Thunder Light within the Thunder Fiend grew even denser, faint rumblings could be heard, clearly getting closer to forming.
Once again, the two fell into silence, but the aura around them grew heavier, with even the surrounding Evil Qi seemingly frozen, halting its churn.
Just then, a calm voice suddenly came from the void, instantly breaking the standoff between the two:
"The both of you have quite the interest, vying for a Thunder Fiend here, but I think this item has a great affinity with me."
Before the words had fully fallen, light blue ripples emerged in the void, spreading like water waves and gently pushing away the surrounding Evil Qi.
A figure of a middle-aged Cultivator in simple robes slowly emerged from the ripples, his face plain, resembling a Loose Cultivator who had been wandering outside for years.
A seemingly ordinary Iron Sword hung at his waist, the Sword Scabbard worn old, devoid of any Spirit Light, it was Chen Sheng, who had concealed his presence.
His gaze swept over True Monarch Red Sun and Master Dingxu, a flash of understanding in his eyes, his past travels in the Ten Demon Countries made him long aware of the titles of these two Demon Dao True Monarchs.
True Monarch Red Sun’s Cyan Yang Demon Lamp could incinerate mountains and boil seas, being a Tier Four Lower Grade Array Master, his "Myriad Phenomena Divine, Demonic Mysterious Array" was well-known in the Ten Demon Countries.
Master Dingxu’s Void Treasure Mirror excelled in Void Escape, his survival ability nearly rivaled the Mid-stage Nascent Soul, reputed to save lives under a Great Cultivator’s hand.
Chen Sheng didn’t expect to encounter Demon Dao True Monarchs even after arriving in the Great Wilderness, but upon further thought:
"It seems that my lifetime fortune arises when encountering demons, just entering the Great Wilderness, and I come across such a treasure."
He chuckled inwardly, maintaining calm on the surface. In his previous life, he had traveled the Great Wilderness for many years, and apart from a Void Crystal, he had never come across precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
This lifetime, just stepping into the Great Wilderness, he encountered two Demon Monarchs and a Tier Four Top Grade Evil Qi, truly luck beyond measure.
True Monarch Red Sun and Master Dingxu’s faces simultaneously changed drastically, their bodies tensing instantly, like beasts provoked.
They exchanged a glance, seeing deep vigilance in each other’s eyes. This middle-aged Cultivator didn’t match any Nascent Soul True Monarchs in their memories.
But for him to appear silently beside them, even without triggering the alert arrays they had set up, he was definitely no ordinary person.
"Who are you?"
True Monarch Red Sun shouted sternly, the flames of the Cyan Yang Demon Lamp in his hand surged once again, the ghostly green light enveloping his body, with numerous tiny ghost figures faintly emerging in the flames, clearly ready for action.
Master Dingxu tightly stared at the sword at Chen Sheng’s waist, his brows furrowed, his voice carrying a few degrees of heaviness:
"Around your body faintly emanates a sharp Sword Intent, I assume you are a Sword Cultivator, right? May I know from which Sect you hail, and why you interfere in Demon Dao affairs?"
"This ’Void Thunder Fiend’ was discovered by the two of us first, please depart swiftly and avoid bringing misfortune upon yourself."
Chen Sheng did not reply, nor did he waste words, merely moving his fingers in a mundane gesture towards the duo, yet it carried an undeniable majesty.
"Buzz—"
The Cyan Nether Sword at his waist suddenly let out a soft chime, the Sword Chime clear and melodious, like a dragon’s roar, instantly overpowering the churning sound of the surrounding Evil Qi.
The Sword unsheathed automatically, and two silver-white light dots flew from the sword body—dots as tiny as needles, like two meteors, piercing through the void, shooting towards True Monarch Red Sun and Master Dingxu.
As the light dots flew, they stirred no airflow at all, but made the surrounding void ripple finely, as if the very space was being sliced by these two Sword Lights.
The Evil Qi in the air was forced back by the Sword Intent within the light dots, forming two fleeting vacuum zones, attesting to the sharpness of the Sword Light.
"Not good! It’s Penetration Power!"
Master Dingxu’s face changed dramatically, being most sensitive to Void Power, he instantly detected the terrifying penetration within the light dots. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"You’re the Demon Slaying Sword Monarch! You actually tracked us to the Great Wilderness!"
In recent days, the three major Nascent Soul Sects of Jiang Country were all slain by a mysterious Sword Cultivator in one strike.
Rumor had it, this Sword Cultivator had a killing move, specialized in countering Nascent Soul from escaping the body, in private Demon Dao Cultivators called him the "Demon Slaying Sword Monarch".
At the sight of these two light dots, Master Dingxu instantly recognized Chen Sheng’s identity, a wave of intense fear surged in his heart, his body instantly turning transparent, clearly trying to merge into the void with the power of the Void Treasure Mirror to escape.
"What enmity do you have with my Demon Dao, to pursue us relentlessly to destruction!"
True Monarch Red Sun also realized, his face turned pale in an instant.
Though he’d never seen the "Demon Slaying Sword Monarch," he feared the feat of striking down three Nascent Souls in one blow.
The powers of the three great Nascent Soul True Monarchs of Jiang Country were stronger than the two of them, yet still slain in one sword blow, they were no match!
"Brother Dao, we must scatter and flee!"
True Monarch Red Sun, at this moment, couldn’t care less about the ’Void Thunder Fiend,’ quickly used telepathy.
He also hurled the Cyan Yang Demon Lamp in his hand fiercely, the lamp expanding to a yard in diameter, the ghostly green flames forming into a massive Fire Wall, shielding in front of him.
"Cyan Yang Fire Wall, block!"
He hoped this Fire Wall would delay a moment, granting him time to escape.
Master Dingxu quickly summoned the Void Treasure Mirror, the mirror gleamed intensely, sending out countless Void Runes, weaving into a light blue Void Barrier, while his body became more transparent, on the verge of merging into the void.
"Void Escape Skill, go!"
Master Dingxu shouted lowly, his eyes filled with a will to survive.
However, the speed of Chen Sheng’s Sword Light far exceeded their expectations.
The two silver-white light dots first collided with True Monarch Red Sun’s Fire Wall, without making a single collision sound, the ghostly green Fire Wall as if paper, easily penetrated, offering no resistance.
The light dots continued forward, instantly catching up with the Master Dingxu already merging into the void.
With a faint "pfft", the light dot pierced through the void, then easily breaking Master Dingxu’s Dharma Body.
His body fell from the void, a tiny blood hole appearing at his Dantian, blood gushing out.
The Nascent Soul inside his body hadn’t yet fled, already pierced by the light dot, turning into a Dead Infant, losing all vitality.
The Void Treasure Mirror, losing the support of its owner’s Mana, quickly dimmed, with a "clang" fell to the ground, the mirror surface cracking with a tiny fissure, clearly heavily damaged.
True Monarch Red Sun saw this scene, terrified out of his wits, but just then, the other light dot already caught up with him, with a "pfft" sound, pierced his Dharma Body, a tiny blood hole appearing at his Dantian too.
"No! I am unwilling!"
True Monarch Red Sun uttered a cry of despair, his voice filled with unwillingness and fear. His body limply fell onto a boulder, his aura quickly dissipating, the light in his eyes gradually dimming, ultimately losing all vitality.
Only the ’Void Thunder Fiend’ in the center kept churning, the silver Thunder Light flashing more frequently, clearly about to fully form.
Chen Sheng stood in the void, looking at the two corpses fallen on the boulder, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, as if he had merely dealt with two ants.
