Chapter 1391 |
"Sister Blood Empress, isn’t this a bit too hasty?
Since they’ve chosen to stay, we can wait a day or half a day before exterminating them.
It wouldn’t be too late."
Su Jingzhen originally intended to inform the Blood Empress Demon King about their current situation.
He hadn’t expected Sister Blood Empress to already be so resolute.
Hearing this, Sister Blood Empress shook her head.
"I know it’s very likely that the No Thought Demon King and the others are nearby Blood Demon City, perhaps even lying in ambush within the city itself.
But haven’t you already infiltrated Blood Demon City?
As long as you can approach the people from the Scorching Sun Demon Sect without anyone noticing,
We’ll first practice our combined attack techniques in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
If we can catch them off guard, we might just be able to kill the Scorching Sun Demon King outright!"
As she spoke, Sister Blood Empress’s excitement was palpable.
At the Demon King level, life undergoes an absolute qualitative transformation.
Dying isn’t so simple anymore.
But if they could kill the Scorching Sun Demon King, the impact would be far-reaching!
After the Boundless Demon Sect drew their sword against them, they would retaliate with absolute force.
This kind of slap to the face would sting deeply.
So, whether they succeeded or not, the Blood Empress Demon King was determined to try.
If they succeeded, gaining complete control over Blood Demon City would become much easier.
After all, every Demon King-level sect would then be on edge.
If even a Demon King could be killed, where would they find justice?
Seeing the Blood Empress Demon King like this, Su Jingzhen raised an eyebrow.
He too was pondering the feasibility of this plan.
Then his gaze turned toward Little Green’s towering tree form.
"Little Green, given the current state of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, how can I provide the most help in hunting down a Demon King?"
Since Sister Blood Empress was willing to take the risk,
Su Jingzhen naturally had to give it his all.
Hearing this, Little Green didn’t respond immediately.
The towering tree swayed slightly.
Then the cold aura around Creation Peak grew even more intense.
In the next moment, a broken sword appeared at the top of Little Green’s branches.
It was none other than the Heavenly Emperor’s Sword, obtained from the Sword Land in the Immortal Realm!
Seeing this sword, Su Jingzhen was momentarily puzzled.
At that moment, Little Green’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"This Heavenly Emperor’s Sword has been fully refined by me, and you can control it too.
Place it in the void in advance and activate it.
It will create an absolute domain of extreme cold, preventing the Demon King you want to kill from escaping.
It might not trap him for long, but ten breaths should be no problem."
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen’s mind reeled, and he looked at the broken sword floating before him with disbelief.
Even in its broken state, it could trap a Demon King?
Then how powerful must it have been at its peak?
Su Jingzhen grew even more curious about who had cast it into the Sword Land to suppress that Immortal Heavenly Serpent.
And that Immortal Heavenly Serpent was only at the Immortal Emperor level, equivalent to the Demon General Realm!
As if sensing Su Jingzhen’s lingering doubts,
Little Green’s voice rang out again: "You don’t need to be so surprised.
Although the Heavenly Emperor’s Sword is powerful, it’s not that outrageous. I’ve infused it with many unique powers from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
Now, the broken sword’s state surpasses what it was when whole."
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen finally exhaled in relief. That made more sense.
Even so, he faintly felt that the Heavenly Emperor’s Sword at its peak must have been at least a Demon King-level spiritual weapon!
With the Heavenly Emperor’s Sword in hand, Su Jingzhen’s face lit up with joy.
He turned to Sister Blood Empress and asked, "If we can trap the Scorching Sun Demon King for ten breaths, can we kill him?"
Hearing this, the Blood Empress Demon King was stunned.
After all, when Little Green had spoken earlier, only Su Jingzhen had heard it.
She and Mo Xuantian had only seen the Heavenly Emperor’s Sword emerge from the tree.
"What did you say? You can trap the Scorching Sun Demon King for ten breaths?
No, no, three breaths!
Three breaths are enough!
When true experts fight to the death, it doesn’t take long!"
She didn’t press Su Jingzhen for details.
The excitement in her heart was already overwhelming!
At that moment, the old tree’s body trembled.
It transformed back into the hunched old man.
Mo Xuanling also arrived.
The four Demon Kings gathered together and briefly discussed the details.
Su Jingzhen’s main body then headed toward the location where the Scorching Sun Demon Sect’s army had landed.
He was feeling quite tense.
If they succeeded, they would accomplish something rare—killing a Demon King.
At that moment, the streets of Blood Demon City were still relatively empty.
Shattered buildings lay everywhere.
During the cleanup and slaughter of the evil cultivators and scoundrels in Blood Demon City, many battles had erupted.
The remaining Scorching Sun Demon Sect disciples were now tidying the streets.
From the looks of it, the Scorching Sun Demon Sect indeed planned to station themselves here long-term.
At that moment, in front of the palace where Su Jingzhen and the Blood Empress Demon King had once shared their passionate affair, the Scorching Sun Demon Sect’s army, fresh from battle, stood neatly lined up.
These individuals were all imposing.
They weren’t the type of army that could condense military killing intent, but individually, their strength was mostly at the Demon Sage Realm.
All their eyes were respectfully fixed on the front of the hall.
There stood a slightly hunched, red-haired old man.
He exuded the aura of a Demon King.
This was none other than the Scorching Sun Demon King!
"I have been ordered by the No Thought Demon King to station the Scorching Sun Demon Sect in Blood Demon City for the next ten years.
We will manage the inter-realm channel port, but no evil cultivators or scoundrels will be allowed to enter.
Anyone resembling the former scoundrels of Blood Demon City will be killed on sight!
Alright, if there’s nothing else, everyone return to your duties.
I will be going into seclusion!"
The Scorching Sun Demon King gave a brief order to his disciples.
Then he prepared to push open the palace doors and enter.
Clearly, he wasn’t thrilled with the task assigned by the No Thought Demon King.
But he had no choice.
While he felt this way, his disciples were quite excited.
After all, this was Blood Demon City, and managing the port meant ample opportunities for profit.
Most cultivators, once they reached a certain level, knew their limits.
Naturally, they sought to seize as many external resources as possible to enhance their abilities.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen, still tense, had blended into the crowd at the palace entrance.
Using the simulation of the world’s power, his aura now closely resembled that of the Scorching Sun Demon Sect’s disciples.
Suddenly, he called out to the Scorching Sun Demon King.
"Demon King, wait a moment!"
As soon as he spoke, all eyes turned to him.
Su Jingzhen immediately felt hundreds of auras locking onto him.
The pressure was immense.
"Who are you?"
The Scorching Sun Demon King frowned slightly.
His expression grew wary.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen revealed his Demon Sage Realm aura.
Sensing that he was only at the Demon Sage Realm, the Scorching Sun Demon King relaxed slightly.
He fully activated his divine consciousness but detected no trace of the Blood Empress Demon King or the others.
He was confident that, with his strength, even if the Blood Empress Demon King were slightly stronger, she couldn’t approach unnoticed.
"I’m a disciple of the Scorching Sun Demon Sect who’s been on a long-term mission outside. I’ve always admired the Demon King’s majesty.
Though I didn’t arrive with the sect’s army, I finally got to witness the Demon King’s grandeur after the events concluded."
Su Jingzhen was naturally skilled at spinning lies.
A Demon King-level force was unimaginably vast.
Even core members couldn’t possibly know everyone.
So when Su Jingzhen claimed to be a sect disciple, the Scorching Sun Demon King’s wariness lessened further.
But a sharp aura rose from him, pressing down on Su Jingzhen.
Whether he was a sect disciple or not, Su Jingzhen’s actions were seen as disrespectful and insubordinate!
"What do you want?
Give me a reason not to kill you."
As he spoke, genuine killing intent emanated from him.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen smiled warmly.
"Nothing important. I just want to invite the Demon King... to die!"
