Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1082: Annihilation Again

Three strands of white light returned into the light screen, drilling back into Chu Zhiyuan’s sleeve.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression was solemn.

The other disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect shook their heads, feeling regretful.

Li Hongzhao said, ”Are they watching from afar? They’ve seen through the illusion.”

Dong Muyu said, ”These demons are very cunning.”

She turned to look at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Junior Brother Chu, can you handle them?”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

”If this move doesn’t work, they will come again,” Dong Muyu said. ”They will keep coming, annoying us to death.”

”If things aren’t going well with the elders, there’s no need for them to do this,” Chu Zhiyuan said. ”If things are going smoothly, they won’t dare to invade, right?... How are things with the elders?”

Li Hongzhao hurriedly said, ”Is it a stalemate?”

Dong Muyu shook her head, ”Such big matters are not for us to worry about.”

She buried her head in cultivating, ignoring the outside world, not caring much about these matters.

She never thought that the elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect would fail.

At most, things wouldn’t go well, and they’d just retreat.

After all, they are Nine Transitions Venerables, with powers beyond imagination.

She then teased, ”Li, you’re used to being an Emperor, always worrying about things, why bother? Just focus on cultivating, our Heavenly Sword Sect won’t suffer losses!”

”I was overthinking,” Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and looked into the distance.

Another group of dark shadows swept over from afar, clearly visible under the moonlight, larger in number than before.

Under the moonlight, these shadows approached silently, like patches of dark clouds.

The disciples who hadn’t dispersed started operating again, and the light screen that hadn’t dissipated lit up once more.

Their expressions were grave.

The previous group didn’t exceed a hundred; this time, there were nearly two hundred.

Nearly two hundred demons with human heads and bird bodies, their formation made them tense.

Li Hongzhao hurriedly said, ”More than a hundred, shouldn’t the Heavenly Sword be dispatched?”

Dong Muyu looked up at the void, where the Heavenly Sword was.

She pouted her red lips, ”The Sect Leader probably doesn’t want to deploy the Heavenly Sword.”

She looked at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Junior Brother Chu, do you have a way?”

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, ”How many are there?”

”The number of Black Crow Demons is a mystery, you want to kill them all?... Quite bold.”

”Won’t there be more and more endlessly, even if this batch is killed?”

”Why worry about that, kill one more Black Crow Demon, and countless innocent people will be saved.”

Chu Zhiyuan was speechless, ”Then I’ll do my best.”

Five rays of light flew out from his left sleeve, and five from his right sleeve.

The ten rays of light split into two groups, shooting towards the outside of the light screen, meeting the approaching shadows.

These shadows were all with human heads and bird bodies, resembling eagles, incredibly fast.

Compared to the previous two groups, this group’s shadows were larger.

Under the moonlight, their faces were filled with ferocity and pride.

Ten strands of white light met them, showing no concern and continued forward, not even dodging.

The white light shot through, golden lights flickered, and their bodies were annihilated.

Yet this didn’t make them pause or change their shape, continuing towards the light screen.

The number of white lights annihilated was insignificant compared to their quantity.

Like a few grains of sand in a heap of gravel.

When they reached the light screen, they circled around it, simultaneously began cursing and swearing.

The noise of over two hundred Black Crow Demons was like demonic music in the ears, affecting the disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak’s operation.

The light screen flickered gently.

This made the Black Crow Demons extremely delighted, cursing more vigorously.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted softly, and ten Flying Knives suddenly halted in mid-air, forming a strange pattern.

Suddenly, golden light burst forth.

Like a sun rising, ten thousand rays of golden light illuminating the void.

Making the Bright Moon in the sky pale in comparison.

Within the reach of the ten thousand rays of golden light, screams erupted.

The previous cursing and swearing turned into screams, overwhelming the skies.

Chu Zhiyuan’s face was pale, his gaze shimmering.

The ten Flying Knives were like his ten fingers, each representing a power attribute, his lips moved silently, yet it was the Great Demon Suppression Spell.

Thus, the Great Demon Suppressing Seal was unleashed.

The pattern formed by the ten Flying Knives continuously drew the power of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree.

Endless power of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree came from the void, transformed into the Great Demon Suppressing Seal by the Flying Knives, covering a hundred-meter range surrounding them.

Amidst the screams, the Black Crow Demons retreated, trying to flee.

Yet under the golden light, their movements were extremely slow, weak and powerless.

Within just a few breaths, over two hundred Black Crow Demons had already vanished into the Void.

The golden light of the ten Flying Knives retracted and transformed into ten streaks of white light shooting into Chu Zhiyuan’s sleeve.

At this moment, the Bright Moon was shining, the night sky serene.

The previous clamor and noise seemed but a phantom.

Everyone looked at Chu Zhiyuan with astonishment.

They had originally given up hope.

After all, wielding one or two Flying Knives in front of more than two hundred Black Crow Demons was like pouring a cup of water over a bonfire, barely making a difference.

They never expected Chu Zhiyuan to have such a move, such an exquisite technique.

This speed in wiping out the Black Crow Demons was comparable to the Heavenly Sword.

Dong Muyu gave Chu Zhiyuan a strong pat on the shoulder: ”Impressive, Junior Brother Chu!”

Chu Zhiyuan swayed slightly, his face pale, and he smiled wryly, ”It was just luck.”

”Falsely modest, this was not luck!” Dong Muyu was unconvinced, her eyes glistening with excitement: ”Thrilling!”

Li Hongzhao hurriedly said, ”Senior Sister Dong, he’s weak now, be careful.”

Dong Muyu chuckled, ”Are you worried? Alright alright, Junior Brother Chu is now a great hero, he needs to be carefully looked after... Li, you help him back to rest, I’ll go fetch some Spiritual Medicine for him.”

Li Hongzhao readily agreed, ”Alright.”

Under the admiring eyes of everyone, Li Hongzhao supported Chu Zhiyuan as they walked back.

Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists in a salute to everyone: ”Dear Senior Brothers and Sisters, I can’t hold on any longer, I’ll go back and rest.”

”Junior Brother Chu, rest up quickly, be cautious.”

”Junior Brother Chu, admirable!”

”Junior Brother Chu, thank you, thank you.”

...

Everyone responded excitedly, their enthusiasm boundless.

Though Chu Zhiyuan had just arrived, they felt already familiar with him.

During Chu Zhiyuan’s first and second release, they were amazed and curious.

With this release, beyond astonishment, they no longer felt unfamiliar, but rather a sense of closeness.

Chu Zhiyuan quickly returned to his own small courtyard.

The two sat in the small pavilion.

Chu Zhiyuan let out a long breath, his complexion still pale.

Simultaneously controlling ten Flying Knives while chanting the Demon Suppression Spell was a great mental drain.

Without two clones helping to supplement, his mental state was indeed lacking, and it was not an act.

Li Hongzhao brewed a cup of tea and handed it to him: ”You’ve really made a name for yourself now, you mustn’t easily venture down the mountain.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, accepting the tea and sipping lightly.

He understood Li Hongzhao’s meaning.

He was now about to become a thorn in the eyes of the Black Crow Demons and other Evil Demons.

They would certainly try every means to eliminate him, to prevent him from growing stronger.

However, having mastered the Earth Origin Technique, once he sensed danger, he could immediately leave.

Li Hongzhao asked curiously: ”Were you using the Demon Suppressing Saber just now?”

”Yes.”

”It wasn’t this powerful before.”

”Previously, there was no need to push to this point, ...if another batch of Black Crow Demons came now, I’d be powerless.”

Dong Muyu knocked on the door outside, and Li Hongzhao went forward to pull open the courtyard gate.

Dong Muyu placed a Small Jade Bottle on the stone table in the pavilion: ”This is a Spiritual Flower Pill for replenishing your spirit.”

Chu Zhiyuan accepted it, removed the stopper, and poured out a few white pills, each about the size of a soybean.

”One pill will do, the medicinal power is still extremely potent, you need to exchange it at the Merit Hall, it costs one hundred Merit.”

Chu Zhiyuan took one, immediately feeling a cool breath circulating around his body, eventually burrowing into the Void of his mind.

His spirit lifted involuntarily, and he smiled: ”Senior Sister Dong, how should I repay the Merit to you?”

Dong Muyu waved her jade-like hand: ”No need to repay, this is a reward from the Sect Leader, no need to exchange.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Dong Muyu sighed: ”I never thought you’d be able to destroy over two hundred Black Crow Demons.”

”Just over eighty, I would guess,” Chu Zhiyuan said.

”That’s still amazing,” Dong Muyu praised: ”We were at our wits’ end, thought the Sect Leader would have to unleash the Heavenly Sword.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: ”Were they trying to force the Sect Leader to use the Heavenly Sword?”

”According to the Sect Leader, yes.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Does the Sect Leader’s Heavenly Sword require charging before each use?”

”Yes, it can strike twice a day, then needs to recharge until the next day.”

”...Are they planning to attack our Heavenly Sword Peak?” Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

He faintly sensed a foreboding feeling as to why the Heavenly Sword hadn’t been easily employed.

Why were they desperately drawing out the Heavenly Sword?

Clearly they were preparing to attack Heavenly Sword Peak.
