Chapter 960: Chapter 956: Nine Swords

Song Lianshuang’s exquisite face was tense, her bright eyes shining.

She hadn’t expected things to get this intense, with the fight now a matter of life and death.

The Meng Family master was no ordinary Heavenly Demon, close to Perfection, yet had fallen due to treachery.

The Meng Family will definitely pursue this, they won’t give up easily.

However, with so many people competing at once, the Meng Family can’t possibly retaliate against everyone.

This is the perfect time to fish in troubled waters.

She knew it was Leng Tieya who used the Soul Suppressing Seal against the Meng Family master.

Subsequently, most of the killed masters bore signs of treachery.

In the blink of an eye, eight masters were dead, and the demons fighting over the treasure only got fiercer, and the battle more brutal.

She turned her head to glance around, but couldn’t find Leng Tieya’s figure.

He was hiding in the shadows, using the Soul Suppressing Seal to launch sneak attacks. Truly a vicious tactic.

This round of competition has left only half of the Heavenly Demons, nine in total.

She could determine that each of them were Upper Three Grades Heavenly Demons, those with lower Realm couldn’t keep up and had no qualifications to compete.

She turned her gaze towards three figures in the distance, the man a Heavenly Demon, the two women veiled.

She frowned and stared.

Judging these three to be like Leng Tieya, looking to snatch profit.

Fu Zheng glanced at her and smiled, ”Your Highness, that demoness in the woods is truly beautiful, never seen such a lovely female demon before.”

Chu Liezhao took a look at Song Lianshuang from afar, his gaze returning to the battlefield, ”Seems like the outcome is close.”

”Your Highness, should we retreat?” Fu Zheng asked.

Chu Liezhao nodded, ”The demon clan masters involved in the scramble are getting stronger, if we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to.”

Fu Zheng sighed, ”Leaving like this, feels really unreconciled!”

Li Yuzhen’s bright eyes were ablaze.

Chu Liezhao said, ”Let’s go.”

The task was completed, leaving the rest to Leng Tieya’s clone.

Leng Tieya’s clone had stronger Cultivation, along with the Soul Suppressing Seal, it’s enough to handle things.

”...Alright.” Fu Zheng gave a fierce look at the fierce fighting among the demon clan masters, then turned to leave with Chu Liezhao.

Li Yuzhen also took a deep look at the battlefield, and then followed to depart.

The trio glided away, after traveling for a quarter hour, they ran into the demon clan masters.

Fu Zheng huffed, ”These guys, able to track the right direction, shows they have some skill.”

These demon clan masters lacked sufficient Cultivation, their Qinggong insufficient, and had fallen far behind.

Yet they hadn’t given up the chase, and could still track the right direction. It must be acknowledged as impressive.

Li Yuzhen said, ”A futile effort, they’ll find nothing once they arrive.”

”Perhaps the fight is still raging there,” Fu Zheng said, ”Your Highness, how long can they keep fighting?”

”Hard to say.” Chu Liezhao shook his head.

Through spiritual connection, he shared Leng Tieya’s perspective and sensations.

Leng Tieya hid behind a massive rock.

He noticed two Great Heavenly Demon Palace masters lurking in the shadows.

These two Great Heavenly Demon Palace masters wielded Miracle Technique or Treasure, having noticed him.

What eased him was that the two masters pretended not to see him and didn’t interfere with his ambush on the demon clan masters.

He manipulated the Soul Suppressing Seal to balance out several demon clan masters’ strength.

Anyone seizing the Demon Artifact found themselves ambushed by the Soul Suppressing Seal, thus struck down or killed by others.

If someone’s strength wasn’t dominant enough, they quickly lost the Demon Artifact, suffering serious injuries.

The demon clan masters fiercely vying felt something wrong, but could do nothing.

They couldn’t stop to band together and first locate Leng Tieya, the ambusher.

Eventually, only one demon clan master remained, seizing the Demon Artifact, looking around.

He was a burly, muscular middle-aged man, at first glance resembling the Demon Clan.

He stood before a cluster of woods and glanced around coldly, ”Come out.”

Leng Tieya emerged from behind the rock, standing on a tall stone, ”Hand over the Demon Artifact, and you can leave.”

The burly man looked at Leng Tieya’s pale face, sneering, ”Reached your limit, haven’t you? Kid, you’re despicable, sinister enough!”

Leng Tieya’s eyes narrowed.

The burly man stepped back, emitting a muffled ”pop” sound.

Leng Tieya’s face paled a shade further, frowning at the burly man.

The burly man laughed, ”Interesting! Haha... hahahaha...”

Leng Tieya’s expression turned grim.

Met a tough opponent, this burly man actually possessed Protective Treasure, a Spiritual Defense Treasure.

Ordinary treasures cannot withstand the attack of the Soul Suppressing Seal; this is a top-notch Spiritual Defense Treasure.

Judging by the cultivation of the burly middle-aged man, he should have reached the First Grade of Heavenly Demon.

His cultivation surpasses mine, and he possesses a treasure that can defend against the Soul Suppressing Seal.

No wonder he dares to stand there taunting, as if he is fearless.

”Ha ha... Do you dare to come and snatch it?” the burly middle-aged man laughed heartily.

Leng Tieya pondered over his Demon Technique.

The Leng Family isn’t the top martial family because the Nine Solutions of Heavenly Demon from the Leng lineage are incomplete, causing the Leng Family to fall from the top tier.

The family now only retains seven solutions.

Even with only seven solutions, one can cultivate to the First Grade of Heavenly Demon, which shows the marvel of these Nine Solutions of Heavenly Demon.

The fundamental martial arts of the Leng lineage aside from the Nine Solutions of Heavenly Demon include the Leng Family’s Nine Swords.

The Leng Family’s Nine Swords are incredibly exquisite, but too profound, almost impossible to fully comprehend.

With each deeper understanding, the power increases.

He closed his eyes, contemplating the Leng Family’s Nine Swords.

Memories and heritage absorbed from a master of the Demon Clan earlier began to clash dramatically.

”What are you doing pretending to be dead with your eyes closed? Too cowardly to act? I’m not wasting my time here!”

The burly middle-aged man sneered twice, turning to dive into the forest to escape, aiming to acquire the Demon Artifact fully.

Leng Tieya opened his eyes and coldly said, ”Stop!”

The burly middle-aged man glanced at him sideways, ”Have any other tricks? Come on!”

Leng Tieya descended from the blue stone, landing in front of a longsword.

The owner of this longsword had already disintegrated, the soul returning to the Demon Abyss.

After a Heavenly Demon dies, it would soon disintegrate, the soul returning to the Demon Abyss.

With a deft move of his toes, the longsword landed in his hand, drawing it from its sheath.

Earlier, the masters from the Demon Clan in contention were all Heavenly Demons, an ordinary longsword did not qualify to be carried by them.

The sword was chill, reflecting Leng Tieya’s somber face.

”Oh, going to use swordsmanship? Come on,” the burly middle-aged man drew a longsword from his waist, ”I’ll spar with you!”

The sword was bright and cold as well, a Treasure Sword that could slice iron as if it were mud.

”Do you recognize me?” Leng Tieya approached slowly holding the sword.

The actions of the burly middle-aged man were indicative of knowing the person and having a grudge.

The burly middle-aged man snickered, ”You look exactly like Leng Qingfeng!”

Leng Tieya realized, ”My second brother’s enemy?”

The burly middle-aged man hummed, ”I’ll kill you first, then your second brother!”

The sword light flashed, already reaching the front of Leng Tieya.

The burly middle-aged man was tall and burly, like a black bear, yet his movements were swift and agile.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes, and suddenly thrust towards the void, then slashed.

The sword tip drew a mysterious arc of light, it elegantly sliced into the cold light opposite, breaking through it, slashing towards the burly middle-aged man’s throat.

The burly middle-aged man was startled, this sudden sword pierced through the sword light and reached his eyes, too eerie to defend against.

This sword was from a layer he had just comprehended of the Leng Family’s Nine Swords, its power greatly increased.

The two hidden masters from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace widened their eyes, astonished by the mystery of this sword.

Standing far off, Song Lianshuang also widened her bright eyes, curious and astonished.

Could the Leng Family’s swordsmanship be this mysterious?

”Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Like the sound of clothes tearing, yet the sound was made by the sword tip slicing through the air, strange and swift.

The burly middle-aged man suddenly covered his wrist and retreated, turned around and dove into the forest.

The longsword fell to the ground, accompanied by a burst of fresh blood falling down.

The fresh blood came from the burly middle-aged man’s right wrist.

”Swish!” Leng Tieya integrated with the sword, drawing a white rainbow straight into the burly middle-aged man’s chest.

The sword tip pierced through his back and out through the chest.

Leng Tieya twisted the sword, then slapped the burly middle-aged man’s back of the head with a palm.

”Pop!” Like the sound of a watermelon bursting, the burly middle-aged man stiffened and slowly fell to the ground.

Leng Tieya seized the gray-faced bag from the man’s waist and disappeared into the forest from the sight of the two masters of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace.

He dared not activate the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree in front of the two masters of the Great Heavenly Demon Palace, nor absorb the soul of this burly middle-aged man, leaving directly.

Song Lianshuang widened her bright eyes in shock, and just as she was about to use her Qinggong to pursue, she paused.

She saw two masters from the Great Heavenly Demon Palace shooting out from the shadows, diving into the forest.

She slightly furrowed her brows, contemplating, and followed them into the forest.
