Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1366: Chapter 1141: The Situation Gradually Changes

The battles on the three Sword Platforms continue.

However, it’s uncertain how long they can endure like this.

On the Human Sword Platform, Dugu Jiu fights again with a weary and injured body, although, relying on his extraordinary strength, he temporarily subdues the newly arrived Demon King.

On the Earth Sword Platform, Linghu Yao enters the battle; already at the Sixth Stage Peak, his mastery of swordsmanship allows him to suppress his opponent in one go.

On the Heavenly Sword Platform, the entire area is enveloped in Hun Ming’s waters, with sword light piercing through, waves rippling, and shocking fluctuations constantly emanating from within...

Every Sword Master couldn’t help but continue focusing on the Human Sword Platform; currently, this seems to be the most perilous spot.

Xiang Yuntian turns his head and scans his surroundings; after enduring the Earth Tribulation, there are quite a few Low Stage King Level members from the Divine Sect around, but most of them are just Second Stage New Kings.

Apart from Fu Chaosheng and Dugu Jiu, the strength of the other New Kings can be considered just passable.

Yet, while the Divine Sect’s members focus on the Human Sword Platform, the high altitude of the Heavenly Sword Platform sees murky waters shaking, waves collapsing, and ten thousand feet of golden sword light rising like dragons, tearing apart the murky waters enveloping the entire Heavenly Sword Platform!

Then, a Demon King with broad shoulders and a scorpion tail is seen slashed by the sword light, spraying a massive amount of blood in mid-air... along with a gruesomely sinister deep blue scorpion tail!

Lou Zhen stands in the void, with a golden longsword encircling him like a dragon, his imposing aura daunting!

”The Sword Master defeated another one!”

Seeing this, the Divine Sect’s experts on Heavenly Sword Peak brighten their eyes, secretly invigorated.

Yet Xiang Yuntian, closely watching Lou Zhen, faintly senses something amiss.

”Something’s wrong!” Xiang Yuntian mutters in a low voice.

At that moment, Lou Zhen in the high sky lets out a muffled groan; his body shakes, shrouded with wisps of Hun Ming’s dark water vapor.

Upon closer inspection, Lou Zhen’s side has a fist-sized wound, pierced by the severed scorpion tail!

Hun Ming’s water surges and rises at the wound, rapidly transforming into murky chains wrapping around Lou Zhen, forming a sinister aura of a Hun Ming Great Scorpion’s shadow above him.

The spirit light around Lou Zhen instantly becomes dim, even the sword ring encircling him stalling slightly!

The Great Scorpion’s shadow suddenly dissipates, yet Lou Zhen’s wound, amidst the black water transformation, turns into a dark aura-tangled Scorpion Seal.

”This... is a curse!” Luo Qingping exclaims.

Xiang Yuntian’s expression also deepens: ”Trouble!”

Meanwhile, the heavily injured Scorpion Demon King Hun Ling suppresses his injuries, retreating from the Heavenly Sword Platform with a cold smile of success.

Seeing Hun Ling retreat, Lou Zhen does not pursue but lowers his head to look at the sinister eerie Scorpion Curse on his side.

”Risking tail severance to pierce me, this Scorpion Demon is quite ruthless.”

Lou Zhen probes quickly into the Scorpion Seal with his spiritual sense, a slight heaviness settling in his expression...

Meanwhile, Hun Ling has retreated into the Demon Cloud.

”Hun Ming, how’s it?” Yin Ju asks.

Hun Ling grins fiendishly: ”With my Hun Ming Demon Scorpion Curse, his eye power and spiritual sense grow more obscure, and the more star power he uses, the more he corrodes!”

Yin Ju and nearby Chuntong, along with other Demon Kings, brighten their eyes; undoubtedly, the sword cultivator ahead is the strongest expert of this sect.

To deal with such an expert, even Yin Ju himself isn’t absolutely confident, so it’s best to weaken the opponent step by step!

Now, since Hun Ling’s Curse Seal is successfully planted, defeating him is merely a matter of time!

Yet Hun Ling, looking at his severed tail and the deep exposed bone sword wound on his chest, can’t help but restrain his grin, his eyes flickering with a few lingering fears.

”This human is truly fearsome; his swordsmanship cuts through illusions and realities. I almost couldn’t escape just now...”

With a thought, Hun Ling surges Hun Ming’s water around him, starting to repair his wounds.

However, the residual sword intent in the wound makes the repair effect astonishingly slow.

”Let me help.”

Chuntong smiles, reaching out with delicate fingers to rub Hun Ling’s chest wound.

Hun Ling frowns slightly, feeling some discomfort, but doesn’t stop him.

”Bloom.”

Chuntong whispers, spirit light flickering at his fingertips, as splendid flowers bloom continuously on the wound.

Accompanying waves of flourishing vibrancy, within Hun Ling’s wound, flesh buds swell, new flesh surges, using strong Growth Power to break through the sword intent’s barrier, rapidly healing.

Chuntong retracts his hand, snapping his fingers; a splendid array of flowers immediately envelops Hun Ling.

”He’s heavily injured, so he’ll need more treatment~” Chuntong chuckles.

Yin Ju ignores him, instead looking towards the surrounding Demon Kings: ”Hun Ling has planted the Scorpion Curse, so who wants to go up and finish off the person?”

The nearby High Stage Royal Court Demon Kings look at each other, eyes flashing, yet no one speaks.

Although Hun Ling has cursed the enemy, the curse doesn’t instantly render the opponent powerless.

Lou Zhen has consecutively defeated three High Stage Demon Kings, his strength undeniable; going up now might provoke a full-force retaliation.

The one who takes the stage now might not benefit.

Instead, the next one to appear is the optimal moment for harvesting!

Defeating, even slaying a Ninth Stage human from the Ten Great Sects... such immense merit is unimaginable!

Yin Ju sees nobody speaking, his expression chilling slightly.

Yet every Demon King holds a degree of autonomy under the Royal Court’s commands.

When one reaches the level of a High Stage Demon King, they can even defy the Imperial Court and become a dominant force on their own!

If they weren’t invading the Big World right now, the alliance of the Five Great Royal Courts would find it hard to mobilize too many High Stage Demon Kings.

However, both of Yin Ju’s direct High Stage subordinates, including Hun Ling, have already been wounded or killed.

At this moment, it’s natural for other High Stage Demon Kings to step in... Preferably from other Imperial Courts.

Quickly, Yin Ju’s gaze fell on Chuntong.

”Chuntong, you go.”

Chuntong hesitated, then sneered, ”I’m better at healing, and it’s not like there’s no one else.”

Yin Ju said expressionlessly, ”Just healing doesn’t require you; the human is now cursed, and pulling and restraining is exactly your expertise. I believe you’re the most suitable.”

”I...” Chuntong frowned and was about to say something more.

Yin Ju waved to interrupt, ”I didn’t send you here just to watch... By the way, your Heavenly Imperial Court still hasn’t sent anyone on stage yet.”

Chuntong’s face turned unpleasant.

This Yin Ju, truly holds grudges!

”That’s right, Chuntong, you should go up.”

”Indeed, capturing a Ninth Stage Sword Cultivator would be a great achievement!”

The other Demon Kings spoke up timely.

Chuntong’s expression was uncertain, but at this point, he could only reply in a low voice, ”Fine, I...”

”Hmm?”

Just then, a ferocious Blood Light came from behind, directly charging into the sky full of dark clouds.

Where the Blood Light passed, Demon Beasts were directly blasted apart, turning into streams of blood that merged into its body, frightening the nearby Demon Kings to retreat hastily.

”Xue Qin!”

Seeing clearly the figure within the Blood Light, including Yin Ju, all the Demon Kings’ expressions condensed.

Indeed, this person is the domineering Demon King who previously broke through the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect together with Chenyue.

From the Chaotic Imperial Court, the Eighth Stage Demon King Blood Slaughter!

In just a few breaths, Xue Qin passed through countless Demon Beasts within the black clouds and landed directly beside Yin Ju.

”Yin Ju, you all are the same as always, timid and bound.” Xue Qin grinned.

The surrounding Demon Kings frowned at these words, one of them, a burly Demon King with bronze skin, said in a deep voice, ”Xue Qin, watch your mouth!”

Xue Qin was undeterred, Blood Light surged in his eyes as he glared directly.

”Tong Kun, what did you say!”

The burly Demon King named Tong Kun was intimidated by Xue Qin’s ferocity, his face turned pale, and he involuntarily stepped back.

Yin Ju himself said nothing, expressionlessly stating, ”Xue Qin, why aren’t you with Chenyue, doing here?”

”You guys are too slow, so I came to check it out.” Xue Qin replied, looking ahead at Lou Zhen on the Heavenly Sword Platform, ”A Ninth Stage human master... and one in poor condition.”

Bloodlust immediately rose in Xue Qin’s eyes, he grinned, ”Since no one is going up, let me lend a hand and help you out!”

Everyone was slightly stunned, even Yin Ju’s expression changed slightly.

Xue Qin and Yin Ju belong to different divisions of the Chaotic Imperial Court; if Xue Qin were to claim the Ninth Stage human’s big prize head...

Before Yin Ju could say anything, Xue Qin’s figure flickered and he flew straight up.

”Wait!” Yin Ju spoke in a deep voice, thick black energy surged in an attempt to catch Xue Qin.

However, Xue Qin’s lips curled into a smirk, the blood light around him condensed and transformed like jade, turned, broke through the black energy, and flew directly into the Heavenly Sword Platform!

”This guy...!”

Watching Xue Qin step onto the Heavenly Sword Platform, Yin Ju’s expression quickly sank...

On the Heavenly Sword Platform.

As Xue Qin raised his hand, the Blood Light surged and gathered, transforming into a five-foot-long, one-arm-wide pitch-black broadsword in his hand.

The broadsword was segmented, resembling upturned fish fins, sinister and eerie, emanating an astonishingly fierce aura.

Lou Zhen sensed the dangerous aura emitting from the Great Demon King before him, causing a slight focus in his eyes.

”Information from two days ago from the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect said there was a Great Demon King adept in Blood Power leading the attack on the Mountain Gate. Could it be... this person right in front of me!”

The Mountain Gate of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect had been breached some days ago, and before it fell, they had sought assistance from various sects through any means they could.

Xue Qin rested the broadsword on his shoulder, observing Lou Zhen as he licked the corner of his mouth and chuckled, ”Ninth Stage human master, I reckon my Bloodthirsty Mad Saber will like you a lot.”

As he spoke, the sea of blood surged massively beneath Xue Qin’s feet!

”Come!”

Xue Qin pointed his saber, and as the blood sea roiled, a vivid and ferocious Blood Shark leapt out towards Lou Zhen.

Meanwhile, Lou Zhen grasped the Sword Seal and the sword light of his longsword flourished, transforming into a golden dragon rushing to meet it...

”Boom!”

Spirit Light Burst, Blood Light, and Golden Light swept across the Heaven and Earth in an instant, dazzling all senses!
