I Possessed a Demon Sovereign-Chapter 7
Chapter 7
I was originally having a good time, bathing, eating a meal, and enjoying a performance. All of a sudden, I am at the crucial moment of life and death…
Chen Luoyang cursed in his heart.
He leaned back on the chair. His expression remained calm, but his mind was rapidly thinking of all sorts of things.
It was fine if it was just the Shu Prefecture Governor, but why would this Law King Huijue appear for no reason? Was this merely a coincidence? Apart from this old monk, could there be other formidable enemies that were hiding in the vicinity? Law King Huijue might only be a scout. Perhaps the mastermind’s objective wasn’t Dragon Claw 11 and the Amrita Manor… Perhaps it was him, the Demon Cult Master.
These people suspected that Chen Luoyang was severely injured after the battle with the Sword Pavilion Lord; therefore, they wanted to take advantage of this weakness. Law King Huijue was here to test Chen Luoyang.
How did they know that I was recuperating in the Amrita Manor? Could it be Ying Qingqing? What should I do now?
In an instant, Chen Luoyang thought about plenty of things.
It seems like there are more enemies in the dark than those on the surface. The circumstances are much more dangerous than the current commotion. I have a cultivated body that I can’t utilize properly. I have to make sure that the enemy doesn’t know of my limits…
Chen Luoyang had a sudden flash of inspiration.
Chen Luoyang thought about that mysterious black pot.
When he inquired about this body’s information, it described his current martial arts’ proficiencies.
Chen Luoyang looked at Law King Huijue and mentally communicated with the mysterious black pot. The blood-red serum suddenly reduced by a portion, and there wasn’t much remaining.
Blood-red mist rose up from the pot and quickly formed a huge article of words.
[Huijue, 67 years old, Apotheosis Stage.]
[Cultivated martial art: Vajra Mandala Technique, Vajra Karma Severance Saber, Wise Benevolent Origin Fist, Virtuous Vajra Lotus Seal, Heart Body Seal, Karmic Law Saber…]
In regards to the Law King Huijue’s martial arts proficiencies, the blood mist didn’t just present words, there were also many illustrations.
When Chen Luoyang’s concentration was focused on the illustration of the Long Rainbow Divine Palm, the illustration would suddenly enlarge. The contents of the illustration would become extremely detailed with more diagrams and more wordings as further explanation.
[Vajra Karma Severance Saber is at completion state, and it is still far from perfection state.]
[2nd saber move: Overly obsessed and overly aggressive during execution. As a result, the move variation isn’t completely integrated and smooth…]
[4th saber move: Lack of saber intent and insufficient strength…]
[5th saber move: A flaw is exposed on the left rib of the Vajra…]
[7th saber move: The initial gesture is slanting to the right. The saber is ahead of the intent, making the foundation unsteady…]
[9th saber move…]
[10th saber move…]
[11th saber move…]
Chen Luoyang was dazzled by all the words. However, he had also let out a breath of relief.
The information on Law King Huijue was the same as the information on Chen Luoyang. There wasn’t a complete set of information. However, the flaws and inadequate parts of the martial dao were all detailedly annotated. Everything was very clear and easy to understand.
Just by looking at these, Chen Luoyang was able to give pointers to Law King Huijue’s cultivation and answer his doubts and suspicions. Once the flaws were compensated, Law King Huijue’s cultivation would reach the next stage.
Actually, in comparison with all the power that Law King Huijue possessed, these defects were merely minor flaws, and it was simply nitpicking at nothing. However, the dispute between experts was always determined by a slight thread of difference.
Now that they were enemies, these flaws were probably fatal.
Chen Luoyang’s mind withdrew from the Vajra Karma Severance Saber’s illustration. He then placed his focus on the Wise Benevolent Origin Fist’s illustration.
As expected, it was another detailed analysis.
Chen Luoyang was currently lapping up and memorizing all of the information. He was busy reading the information and remaining silent. It made things awkward for Vajra and Azure Dragon 5 who were standing by the side.
Vajra sneaked a glance at his Cult Master, and he saw Chen Luoyang expressionless. Chen Luoyang’s eyes were slightly closed, and he wasn’t speaking, nor did he look angry. It made Vajra even more terrified: even his vajra statue outside the bamboo structure was starting to weaken.
Law King Huijue felt that his opponent’s mental state was unstable. As the opponent’s influence weakened, his imposing aura became more aggressive.
An invisible murderous aura started to materialize in the air. Law King Huijue’s vajra statue now had an additional monk’s knife that was shining resplendently.
The vajra statue on the Demon Cult’s side involuntarily cracked on the surface and looked extremely miserable.
It had shocked Vajra who was inside the bamboo structure. He quickly invigorated himself and resisted the pressure from his opponent.
At this moment, Chen Luoyang suddenly spoke, “An incompetent stray dog actually needs This Seat to make a move personally?”
Vajra and Azure Dragon 5 had embarrassing expressions. “This subordinate is incompetent and has disturbed Cult Master…”
“Forget it.” Chen Luoyang sat upright on his chair and looked at Vajra in a nonchalant manner. “Seeing that you are loyal, I shall give you some pointers…”
As Vajra listened, his expressions had various changes.
First, it was curiosity, then shock, and alarm; finally, it was being dumbstruck.
Once Vajra was distracted, Law King Huijue immediately flared up. A horrific saber intent was materialized and slashed at Vajra.
When Vajra came back to his senses, he hurriedly blocked. As he was caught off guard, his vajra statue nearly got severed at the waist. It caused the protection on the bamboo structure to vanish, allowing Chen Luoyang, Azure Dragon 5, and Vajra to be exposed to everyone’s eyes.
When everyone looked over to the bamboo structure, Chen Luoyang who was sitting by the window was immediately discovered.
“It is really the Demon Cult Master!” After seeing Chen Luoyang’s eyes that were flickering with black light, the members of the Great Xia Empire had all exclaimed in unison.
But the Shu Prefecture Governor and the other experts had eyes that lit up:
The Demon Cult Master is here, and he allows Law King Huijue to act as he pleases? Could he really be severely injured?
Law King Huijue was also staring at Chen Luoyang. “So it turns out that Cult Master Chen is really here. Since that is the case, this old monk shall be so bold as to ask Cult Master Chen for some pointers.”
Chen Luoyang sat on the chair with an indifferent expression, as he took a casual glance at Law King Huijue but didn’t say anything. It seemed as though Chen Luoyang wasn’t disdainful to even speak with the other party. He merely made a gesture to Vajra who was standing by the side, as though he was waving a blade gently to chase away some mosquito.
“Don’t worry Cult Master, I will quickly deal with that old wretched monk so that he cannot disturb you anymore,” Vajra declared loudly and promptly.
With a short yell, the 20-meter vajra statue was congealed again, and it became very firm.
Law King Huijue didn’t look at Vajra and had been looking at Chen Luoyang the whole time.
The old monk revealed a smile. “It seems like the battle with His Majesty, Sword Sovereign has inflicted severe injuries to Cult Master Chen. As such, you don’t dare to accept this old monk’s challenge and send this traitor to death instead.”
Law King Huijue looked at Vajra at this moment and smiled before saying, “When you are fighting desperately with this old monk, Cult Master Chen will find the opportunity to escape. You are destined to face death, truly foolish behavior.”
Vajra left the bamboo structure and blended his entire body into the 20-meter vajra statue.
Vajra’s vajra statue emitted a loud voice, “A mere stray dog. You have already benefited when my Divine Cult Master bothered about you. You are only fit to die under my saber!”
Law King Huijue had also entered the vajra statue. “Today, this old monk shall eliminate the traitor first before slaughtering the demon later.”
The two massive vajra statues instantly clashed together.
However, something surprising happened, and it wasn’t what the Great Xia Empire’s members had expected…
For this clash, it was Vajra who forced Law King Huijue to step back!
Law King Huijue was rather shocked; he didn’t feel that there was any problem with his Vajra Karma Severance Saber. Who would have expected that Vajra would find the flaw and neutralize his move in just one counterattack?
This traitor actually comprehended the Vajra Karma Severance Saber to an extent that was superior to him, Huijue?
Vajra didn’t stop attacking; he constantly brandished his saber and repelled Law King Huijue.
The two massive vajra statues were moving around the entire place, and soon enough, they exited the Amrita Manor. It was because Vajra didn’t wish for their duel to disturb his great cult master.
Vajra naturally knew that his cult master didn’t have anything to fear, but if the shockwaves from the battle had crashed into his cult master, it would be a grave sin and utter disrespect.
Chen Luoyang sat in the bamboo structure motionlessly and looked far away in a calm manner.
As expected, a contest between martial kings is much more intense than the commotion caused by the battle between connate martial experts…
Chen Luoyang thought to himself.
Martial kings, also known as grandmasters, were accompanied by wind and thunder, while fire and water couldn’t harm them at all. With a lift of their hands, they were able to destroy mountains, to cut off rivers. They were practically able to alter the environment on a small scale.
If Vajra and Law King Huijue were to fight without restraint, let alone razing Amrita Manor to the ground, it was possible for them to leave a deep basin. It was why Vajra chased Law King Huijue out with priority before fighting in the remote wilderness.
The distance might be far away, but Chen Luoyang was still able to see them.
The Shu Prefecture Governor and Azure Dragon 5 had to push their eyesight while they looked into the distance anxiously. The more they watched, the more terrified they felt.
It was obvious that Law King Huijue had the higher cultivation of Apotheosis Stage and was also stronger. However, the outcome was him being pressured by Vajra who was at the Intent Congealing Stage.
Law King Huijue was at the Apotheosis Stage and was able to see through most of Vajra’s intentions. There were plenty of moments when he knew what Vajra was going to do yet was unable to guard against the attack! If Law King Huijue wasn’t at a higher cultivation stage, he would have been utterly defeated.
The Shu Prefecture Governor was baffled, while Azure Dragon 5 was clicking his tongue in amazement.
“There is a saying, ‘it is easier in understanding but difficult when put into practice’.”
Chen Luoyang’s voice felt as though it was from the celestial realm; it sounded faintly discernible and apathetic.
Azure Dragon 5 suddenly understood. “Huijue is at the Apotheosis Stage and knows what Sir Vajra is going to do, but it isn’t possible to solve his personal flaws. Therefore, he doesn’t have the ability to stop Sir Vajra.”
Chen Luoyang let out a faint laugh.
The hearts of the Great Xia Empire’s members were all emitting cold air. That young man with the black sparkling eyes was profound and enigmatic. It was just like a demon god had inflicted despair on them.
Even the Shu Prefecture Governor started panicking.
Right at this moment, in the remote battlefield, Law King Huijue suddenly yelled with agitation. He had suddenly changed his moves, and it wasn’t to a martial art that was inherited from the Great Vajra Temple’s lineage. When the martial dao intent was congealed on the vajra statue, there was a dragon that was produced!
The dragon coiled around the vajra statue, making it totally different from before.
The Shu Prefecture Governor was shocked when he saw the move. He recognized that it was an imperial martial art of the Great Xia Empire. It was the signature move from the Nine Dragon Imperial Fist!
When the Great Vajra Temple was extinguished, Law King Huijue joined the Great Xia Empire, and in return, he served the Great Xia Empire. At the same time, he was rewarded too.
Part of the reward contained this move of the Nine Dragon Imperial Fist!
As the Great Vajra Temple’s absolute martial arts were restrained by Vajra, Law King Huijue changed his move decisively. He executed this trump card that he had cultivated in secrecy! Apart from the Great Xia Empire’s imperial clan, no one else knew of this.
He was confident that he could defeat his opponent in a single move if he was to execute it suddenly!
When the Shu Prefecture Governor saw the situation, he was first shocked before he felt ecstatic. He believed that Law King Huijue could turn the fight around. However, at the next moment, Law King Huijue and the Shu Prefecture Governor were both stupefied.
Vajra revealed an evil grin and wasn’t surprised that Law King Huijue had this secret move that he was reserving as his trump card. Instead, he had executed an attack that contained his full strength! It felt like Vajra had been waiting for this particular move from Law King Huijue.
As compared to the Great Vajra Temple techniques that were cultivated diligently for his entire life, Law King Huijue’s newly cultivated fist art had a greater flaw. Its advantage was in surprise attacks and catching the opponent off guard.
Right now, not only did it not have the effect of a surprise attack, Vajra was even able to grasp the flaw.
Splitting the dragon in a single saber slash!
The saber slash had struck hard on Law King Huijue! It was a pity that Law King Huijue was too smart for his own good and suffered severe injury!
If Law King Huijue didn’t use the Great Xia Empire’s Nine Dragon Imperial Fist, he might have been able to survive for a little longer… Right now, he had suffered a grave injury due to Vajra.
Vajra didn’t spare his opponent after obtaining the upper hand and continued a frenzied assault.
Law King Huijue, the last living expert from the Great Vajra Temple, had been hacked to death by Vajra who had joined the Demon Cult!
Members of the Great Xia Empire were all dumbfounded.
Vajra then carried Law King Huijue’s head and returned to the manor before he knelt on one knee while facing the bamboo structure. “It is all because of Cult Master’s pointers that Vajra didn’t humiliate himself. I have beheaded this monk who disturbed the great Cult Master.”
Chen Luoyang sat quietly in the chair while knocking on the armrest of the chair with his finger every now and then. He then looked at Vajra and said, “Those who obey shall flourish…”
Chen Luoyang then looked at Huijue’s wide-open eyes as he had died with remaining grievance. “Those who oppose shall die.”
Finally, he swept a glance at the members of the Great Xia Empire.
“Anyone who has an objection, speak.”
