The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 1060: Oppressed

Proofreader: Papatonks

The three divine sword wielders each used their own swordsmanship. They had immense power, enough to even crush a Sword King, yet proved to be sorely lacking when up against the undefeated Invincible Sword.

The Exalted Double Dragons took this time to strike as well. With a dragon roar, a sword dragon fell from the heavens above and shot for the Invincible Sword. 

Eastern lands’ three venerables, northern lands’ Four Snow Peak Elders and southern lands’ sword guardian venerables made their move too. 

The incredible and flashy display was not only amazing but also deadly and apocalyptic. All these powers converged on one old man standing there all by himself.

As the string of explosions echoed out, it felt like the world would be torn asunder.

Alongside their joint attack, there were many other great experts who sent out such force that not even the Nine Sword Kings together would survive.

A land’s army was bound to find itself crippled and blown to pieces too.

But as the ruckus died down, thunder flared and retook dominance as it spread in every direction, blowing away the dust.

The Invincible Sword was still standing straight, holding the Sundering Sword as he touched the ground, majestic and undaunted. There was not a speck of dust on him. His eyes were cold and sharp, his grin disparaging.

Everyone gasped in disbelief, “No way! All our attacks did nothing?”

“The old monster is just outrageously strong!”

Ling Yuntian’s face twitched, his heart shuddering, “Three divine swords and every top expert of the four lands couldn’t even scratch him? How are we even supposed to kill him? Can more than two lands’ worth of soldiers do nothing to him?” 

Ling Yuntian turned to the others. Baili Yutian had gone beyond what was humanly possible, not even the world’s strongest joined together could hurt him.

Their hearts sank in despair and remorse.

[Fighting the Invincible Sword was the greatest mistake. This freak of nature is too damn tough and strong…]

Clang!

A sharp noise pierced their miserable thoughts.

They flinched as they saw the purple lightning streaked divine sword getting off the ground as he moved.

[The monster is about to attack!]

They all froze, with sweat trickling down their brow.

The Invincible Sword wore a sneer, his eyes shining as he raised the purple sword high, “You attacked first and didn’t feel a thing, what an utter disappointment. Letting you have the three divine swords is such a waste. Now then, it’s my turn. Once I remove your heads from your necks, the divine swords will belong to me and no one will question my methods!”

Their blood ran cold and flinched back with fear.

Whoosh~

Baili Yutian used no skill, just slashed like usual.

Though anything average turned extraordinary when it came to the likes of Baili Yutian, carrying with it an unstoppable force of nature.

Rumble~

The immense power came for the four lands’ experts while the purple lightning above started striking down, following the sword wave and disintegrating anything in its path.

Everyone panicked, with Ouyang Lingtian rushing to use the Heaven Sealing Sword, “Heaven Sealing Domain, Sky Sword! Unbreakable world, unbreakable sword!”

Hum~

The Heaven Sealing Sword shook and unleashed a dim blue glow that surrounded everyone to keep them safe from the incoming attack.

“Humph, the Heaven Sealing Sword?”

Baili Yutian mocked, “The Heaven Sealing Sword Art seals everything. But you, Ouyang Lingtian, are too weak and can’t stop the pinnacle of the Sundering Sword Art that I’ve reached!”

Boom!

The thin blue barrier had no chance against the onslaught, gone upon contact with the thunder sword wave. Ouyang Lingtian coughed blood on the spot and was sent flying.

Murong Lie and Shangguan Feixiong rushed to use their own swords, fairing no better than Ouyang Lingtian even if working together. They coughed blood and were flung away all the same.

The three swordwielders didn’t stand a chance, which meant the others were far worse off.

The deadly sword wave carried berserk lightning as it boomed swiftly towards them, through them, and into the horizon. It pulverized anything in its path, laying waste to half of the Sea Bright Sect in that attack alone.

As for the lands’ experts, they didn’t get to let a wail out, gone from here and sent thousands of miles away, buried under the rubble, either dead or near it.

The Invincible Sword’s sword was just too terrifying.

Hu~

Biting winds swept the dust away, though the Invincible Sword resumed leaning on his sword, standing there among the desolation and destruction. He eased a long breath, frowning as he began to walk.  

“If I knew how it would turn out, I wouldn’t have sent the brats flying. With all of them all over the place, it’s going to be annoying finding the divine swords. What a pain.”  

Bang!

The Invincible Sword flew up and searched along the ruins…

The five Sword Kings and the princes heard the loud commotion and jumped.

Crown Prince Baili Jingtian looked back at the huge dust kicked up by the attack and gasped, “Patriarch is amazing. That slash alone must’ve finished them all off. Brothers, the Patriarch is done with his fight, but he still wants to have one person dead. We will help him by bringing back that guy’s head!”

“Right!”

The others roared in agreement and sped deeper into the Sea Bright Sect.

The Sword Kings got busy as well, with only Bali Yuyu frowning, “Brother Lei, they’re going right for him. We…”

“Find him first and hide him, then we’ll talk.”

Baili Yulei’s eyes flashed, “If the Patriarch or anyone else finds him, he’s dead!”

Bali Yuyu’s eyes shone with resolve as she shot deeper in the Sea Bright Sect.

On the easternmost side of Sea Bright Sect, Wu Qingqiu’s group were frantic in their rush with the dulled Chu Qingcheng. Sometimes looking back at the devastation with a chill down their spines.

“Brother Zhuo has to be either a god, or a bad omen. He had us take Qingcheng out of here since it won’t be safe, and it’s already gotten dangerous. Even the Invincible Sword came. It won’t matter if we die, but we’ll fail to fulfill brother Zhuo’s request!” 

“Senior brother Wu, the teleportation array is farther away but they seem to be closing in fast!” Shui Ruohua held on to Chu Qingcheng as she heard the shouts coming from behind. 

Yan Mo spoke, “Those are from the elders of the Sea Bright Sect coming out to stop the enemy, who shouldn’t be too outrageous like the Sword Kings and Invincible Sword.”

“Of course it’s not them. From that huge explosion and rumbling in the distance, that must be where the Invincible Sword must be fighting. He won’t show up here. we will be safe for now.”

Wu Qingqiu smiled and eased their worries, “We’ll arrive in fifteen minutes and we’ll be safe for good, ha-ha-ha…”

The others nodded and smiled, even as they sped up. Protecting Qingcheng took priority!

A shout then reached them, “Wu Qingqiu, where are you guys going?”

The group stopped, startled.

[Did they catch up so soon? But the shouts are still far away. How does he know of senior brother Wu’s name then? Did he lay in ambush?]

Wu Qingqiu looked puzzled as well.

[Why does he know my name?] 

It might be an ambush, but for a simple disciple of the four lands? Even if it was set up to kill potential dangers, he wasn’t exactly at the top either. 

At the very least, he had two ahead of him in western lands, Zhuo Fan and Ye Lin. Shouldn’t he kill them instead?

[Why does he even know my name?]

Wu Qingqiu’s group was stumped as to what was going on…
