Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1077: Demon Suppression

Dong Muyu said: ”A hundred Black Crow Demons have arrived, only then can the Heavenly Sword be moved.”

Li Hongzhao asked: ”What about the experts within our sect? Can’t they eradicate it?”

”All Venerables above the Third Transition within the sect have gone to encircle and suppress the Qinglian Sea. Now the sect is empty, and this guy is taking advantage of this gap to provoke us, wanting to force our senior brothers and sisters to come back for rescue and relieve the pressure on the Qinglian Sea.”

”No wonder...” Li Hongzhao suddenly understood.

Chu Zhiyuan inquired: ”What’s so frightening about this Black Crow Demon?”

Dong Muyu snorted: ”The Black Crow Demon is very troublesome, and it has the ability to hide. Who knows how many there really are.”

”Hiding?”

”At first glance, there seems to be only one Black Crow Demon, but it could be over a hundred.”

She looked at Li Hongzhao’s confused face and shook her head: ”Those black mists earlier could either belong to one Black Crow Demon or different ones, but externally there is no noticeable difference.”

Li Hongzhao furrowed her delicate brows, trying hard to grasp the meaning behind her words.

Such reality exceeded her imagination, making it hard to comprehend.

Chu Zhiyuan stated: ”In my judgment, there are six Black Crow Demons.”

”Only six?” Dong Muyu tilted her head and looked at him: ”Junior Brother Chu, can you see that?”

Chu Zhiyuan pointed to his eyes: ”Not to hide from my senior sister, but these eyes of mine are different from ordinary people, they are especially sharp and can see things others cannot.”

Dong Muyu gently nodded: ”It seems you have some talent... Is it truly six?”

Chu Zhiyuan solemnly nodded.

Under the Super Sensing Illumination, the massive body formed by the black mist became crystal clear.

At first glance, it’s all black mist; once it materializes into a human form, it isn’t very solid, still remaining loosely formed.

Six distinct clumps of black mist were extremely clear under the Super Sensing Illumination.

Dong Muyu raised her head to look at the sky.

Under normal circumstances, disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect cannot see the Heavenly Sword.

She herself is a genius and has a peculiar connection with the Heavenly Sword, so she can sense it.

Other disciples, even Venerables, cannot sense the existence of the Heavenly Sword.

That this newly ascended Chu Zhiyuan can clearly sense it as well.

This alone shows his extraordinariness.

Moreover, he ascended by himself, not relying on the Heavenly Sword.

Dong Muyu snorted: ”If it’s six, then destroy them!”

Thinking of this, she turned and said: ”Senior Sister Lu, Senior Sister Huang, let’s go eliminate this guy!”

Two women in an adjacent halo opened their bright eyes and looked over.

These two women had graceful figures, beautiful faces, and gentle temperaments.

The melon-faced girl lowered her voice: ”Junior Sister Dong, keep your voice down.”

Dong Muyu said: ”There are only six guys outside; the three of us can get rid of them!”

”Only six?”

”Yes, that’s right, only six!”

The other egg-faced girl pursed her lips and smiled, speaking in a lowered voice: ”Junior Sister Dong, since when can you tell how many Black Crow Demons there are?”

The two of them whispered quietly, unlike Dong Muyu who was so bold and outspoken.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head in private.

Although Dong Muyu looked petite and dainty, she had a rough personality, and was tremendously bold.

But to simply believe in one’s own judgment, isn’t that a bit too naive?

Dong Muyu laughed proudly: ”We’ve got a new Junior Brother who ascended on his own, and he saw it.”

She looked towards Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his hands and smiled in greeting: ”Little Outer Heaven Chu Zhiyuan, greets the two Senior Sisters.”

The halos beneath the two women’s feet continued to shimmer as they chatted while operating, without delay.

They curiously scrutinized Chu Zhiyuan.

”Ascended from Little Outer Heaven?” the melon-faced girl smiled: ”The spiritual energy there is sparse. It must be difficult to ascend, right?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

The current Little Outer Heaven is indeed difficult to ascend from, yet this girl knew.

The egg-faced girl said: ”Congratulations Junior Brother Chu. What dynasty does Junior Brother hail from?”

”Da Jing,” Chu Zhiyuan replied: ”Does Senior Sister know about Little Outer Heaven?”

”Heard of it,” the egg-faced girl lightly laughed: ”Isn’t the Da Meng Dynasty the strongest in Little Outer Heaven?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and looked towards Li Hongzhao: ”This is the Da Meng Emperor, ascended together with me.”

The two girls looked at Li Hongzhao in surprise and laughed: ”Truly an honor.”

After the Da Meng Emperor ascended, he naturally became an Inner Sect disciple.

But due to being too old, he lost his potential and could only live out his remaining years in comfort.

These emperors were once rulers of dynasties, with wisdom and tactics far surpassing the average disciples.

Even if their cultivation could not advance, they could still provide strategic insight for the sect.

However, in a sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect, cultivation is the most crucial. Without strong cultivation, one’s voice naturally quiets and receives less regard.

Without potential for further cultivation, their status remains very low.

Li Hongzhao, being a newly ascended Emperor, young in age, with unparalleled martial arts talent and wisdom is a different matter altogether.

Li Hongzhao smiled and greeted with a clasp of his hands.

Dong Muyu impatiently said: ”Alright, quit these empty words. This guy is so arrogant; let’s quickly destroy him!”

”Really going out?” the egg-faced girl frowned: ”This guy is really dangerous.”

”With only six, the three of us can handle it!”

”But what if there are more?”

”Then just quickly escape back.”

”Escaping would be too late.” The egg-faced girl hesitated.

The Black Crow Demon is extremely troublesome, requiring a Venerable to hurt it, and its speed is lightning-fast, with demonic power being bizarre and highly destructive.

A slight misstep and one could die under its demonic power, which is a hard-learned lesson.

To kill it, two things are required: first, extreme speed, and second, a Venerable, preferably one above the Third Transition.

The Black Crow Demon is audacious precisely because there are no Venerables above the Third Transition within the sect.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Three Senior Sisters, let me give it a try.”

”You—?” The three women looked at him in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”I’ve practiced a Flying Knife Skill that can kill them while stationed here.”

”Then why say so much, hurry up and take it down with the flying knife!” Dong Muyu hurriedly urged.

At this moment, the massive shadow was laughing heartily, the laughter echoing through the void, spreading far and wide.

The faces of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples on the White Jade Square turned somber, closing their eyes and operating their skills.

This harassment and provocation are purely vexing, not worthy of activating the Heavenly Sword, yet any carelessness would provide an opportunity.

Using the Mountain Protection Array is the most fitting.

Yet such measures would often have to endure his ridicule, truly infuriating.

The gigantic shadow stood in the void, laughing up to the sky: ”Where is the might of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples? Come, come kill me!”

He continued laughing: ”The Heavenly Sword Sect is nothing more than a show of reputation, ha ha...”

Right at this moment, a streak of white light shot over.

He paid no mind, allowing the white light to shoot towards the center of his brow.

He looked clearly, seeing it was a flying knife, not feeling any danger, hence paid no heed to it.

The white light easily reached his head.

A mocking smile appeared on his gigantic face, and he laughed heartily.

But then the smile froze.

The flying knife suddenly burst with a flash of golden light.

Beneath the golden light, the black mist rapidly melted away, as if snow meeting boiling water.

”Ah—!”

The scream resounded, reaching the sky and the earth.

Several strands of black mist suddenly dispersed, forming six figures.

Yet each figure had a trace of golden light attached to it.

The golden light clung like a parasitic worm, continually dissolving their black mist.

”Bang!”

The black mist suddenly scattered, increasing in range and becoming even thinner.

But the golden light was still unremovable, still continuously dissolving the black mist.

”Ah—!”

”Ah—!”

...

Successive cries of anger resounded, showing that all six clumps of black mist were screaming in agony.

The Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, who had their eyes closed in meditation, all opened their eyes.

Seeing the Black Crow Demon’s miserable state, they were greatly astonished.

Dong Muyu praised: ”Junior Brother Chu, you were right, there really are six of them. Your eyes are impressive!”

”Even more impressive is Junior Brother Chu’s flying knife,” the egg-faced girl praised: ”What Sword Technique is this?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Demon Suppressing Saber.”

Condensing a trace of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree’s power into the knife, the effect was unexpectedly powerful.

When encountering this Black Crow Demon, the power of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree became marvelous.

Like a parasitic worm, no matter how the six Black Crow Demons transformed, they couldn’t even escape, only cry out as they are consumed.

In the blink of an eye, the black mist was entirely devoured by the golden light, vanishing in the void.

The formerly wildly arrogant Black Crow Demon was thus obliterated, making the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples feel as if it were all a dream.

It felt too unreal.
