Chapter 36: A Sword from the West!

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A demon emperor?

Hearing Xu Liushuang’s words, the group of Transcendents could not help but look at each other in shock.

Su Mo, who was not far away, also felt extremely shocked.

The demon emperor was a special title that had spread from the origin world. To put it simply, the demon emperor was the most powerful mirage demon that ruled an entire area. It had tens of thousands of demon subordinates, and might even have many mirage demon tribes.

Even the weakest demon emperor would at least be at level 7. The strong ones among them could even reach level 9.

The destructive power of a demon emperor was far beyond that of ordinary mirage demons. According to the records, a demon emperor had once appeared on a small island abroad. Within a short hour of the high-level Transcendents receiving the notice and rushing over, the tens of thousands of natives on the island were all slaughtered, and the blood dyed the sea around the island crimson.

After that, the transcendents had an intense battle with the demon emperor, which resulted in the small island disappearing from the map.

After this incident, Dawn Bureau had always regarded the invasion of the Demon King as the top priority. As long as there were any signs, the Bureau would not hesitate to send high-level Transcendents to deal with it.

Many military divisions were also stationed in various places to prepare for such disasters. All the effort was just to keep the demon emperor from coming through the rift.

Now, seeing the huge claw of the demon emperor stretching out from the origin world, the Transcendents present were shocked, but they also quickly reacted.

There was no doubt that the demon emperor was powerful. Even without looking at the records, its previous performance had already exceeded everyone’s imagination.

Now, only one of its claws had reached this side. Once its true body completely descended, let alone the few Transcendents present, but even the entire Tianmu City would be destroyed.

Even if the Bureau’s support could come at the fastest speed, the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ordinary people who had no idea what was going on would die. Some of those ordinary people might be their parents, wives, children, or even relatives and friends.

No matter what, they had to hold the line. Even if they couldn’t stop the demon emperor from descending, they had to try their best to delay the time of its arrival!

In an instant, all the Transcendents went berserk. They were like moths to a flame, rushing toward the spatial rift and going all out in destroying the void-splitting stone that maintained the spatial passage.

The surrounding fox demons knew what the Transcendents were planning, so they protected the passageway with all their might and tried to stop them.

The intensity of the battle rose to another level.

For the first time, casualties appeared on the official team. The rest of the people were also spattered with blood but were still ready to sacrifice themselves at any moment.

This bloody and brutal scene gave Su Mo a great shock.

Before this, he had joined the official organization purely out of his greed for Transcendent power. He wanted to get rid of his identity as an ordinary person and become a more special existence.

He didn’t have many thoughts about protecting his country. Or rather, he didn’t even realize the dangers of becoming an official Transcendent.

Even in the subsequent missions when he seemed to be leading the way, it was only because he was in the main force and his safety was guaranteed. There were not too many dangers, and he could also reap huge benefits for free.

The only mistake he made was that he did not realize that Stone Village was where the Door was when he chose to explore it.

Even if he was forced to burn his professions and skills, that was because he had no other way out and could only risk his life.

Now, there was clearly another way out, so what were these Transcendents fighting for? Even if they didn’t take the initiative to go forward and stayed at the rear or merely maintained the battle with the surrounding fox demons, no one would say that they were wrong.

They clearly didn’t have to risk their lives, but now, they had all chosen to stake it all on one throw. Didn’t they know that they would lose everything if they died here?

As the old saying goes, it’s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. They could stay alive and continue to grow and even break through to level 9. By then, what would a mere demon emperor be?

Why throw an egg at a rock here?

Looking at the blood-covered figures and listening to their angry roars, Su Mo took a deep breath and silently clenched his fists, an inexplicable impulse growing in his heart.

He knew that these people understood those smart people’s logic, but when the time came, someone had to stand up and be a fool.

Now, there was still this group of fools blocking his way. In the future, when it was his turn to make a choice, what would he do?

At the same time, as the many Transcendents were charging forward, Xu Liushuang, who was at the front, also started to attack with a serious expression.

Endless light burst out from his body and turned into blazing flames, burning everything around the spatial rift. However, the giant claw merely waved gently, and a gust of strong wind suddenly swept past, dissipating the flames on the spot.

Xu Liushuang was swept back a dozen steps and only stopped after colliding with and killing three fox demons.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised his hand to shoot 12 light arrows at the level-5 crimson fox lord. The crimson fox lord was disdainful when it saw the light arrows coming at it. It simply opened its mouth and let out a roar, and the twelve light arrows exploded one after another.

However, the moment the light arrow exploded, a figure suddenly appeared in the shining light. It was Xu Liushuang. He grinned at the crimson fox lord, who was not far away from him. Then, he raised his hand and shot three rings at the fox lord, while shooting another three at the void-splitting rocks around.

As soon as he finished this set of movements, he teleported away at lightning speed.

Following this, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the six magic items, causing the crimson fox lord’s expression to become extremely distorted, “You can’t kill me with Milord here!”

What followed after the roar was an extremely terrifying explosion.

In an instant, everyone on the scene seemed to have lost their hearing.

In the next second, a surge of power spread out in all directions, and the fox demons nearby were vaporized while the battle groups further away were all sent flying far away.

When the light dissipated and the smoke and dust dispersed, all that was left was a giant pit that was several times larger than the one before. It was as if a piece of the entire mountain had been chopped off.

The crimson fox lord that had made such a bold statement earlier had long disappeared. The terrifying claw that was supposed to protect it only protected the pile of void-splitting stones near the rift.

Obviously, compared to the arrival of its body, a mere level 5 fox lord was nothing.

“I would rather you protect your subordinate,” Xu Liushuang looked at the giant claw with an ugly expression.

A low roar could be heard from afar, “You will pay the price for this!”

As the demon emperor’s voice fell, the pile of void-splitting stones suddenly bloomed with an extremely dazzling light and the spatial rift began to expand.

The light gray origin power surged like a tide, and the length of the giant claw emerging extended from five meters to ten meters, twenty meters…

Through the light gray airflow, one could vaguely see a demonic and majestic figure standing opposite them. Its aura was domineering and overbearing, suppressing all living beings.

However, at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the sky to the west. The light arrived extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the mountain and slashed down.

The giant claw that couldn’t even be slightly injured with the detonation of earth-grade magic items was cut off along the spatial rift when the light fell.

The void-splitting stones on the ground exploded, and a deep ravine was cut out of the hard mountain rock.

Many of the tall trees in the ravine were crushed into pieces, turning into countless fragments that fluttered in the air.

Until now, everyone was still in a daze, unable to react.

In the next second, tens of thousands of sword lights streaked across the sky like a meteor shower. All the sword lights landed with great precision, penetrating the hundreds of fox demons without missing a single one.

Along with the sound of the fox demons falling neatly, there was the angry roar of the demon emperor, “You can’t stop me. I’ll come here one day …”

With that, the spatial rift quickly shriveled, closed, and returned to normal. The demon emperor’s voice could no longer be heard.

Su Mo’s eyes were fixed on a figure in the distance.

He was dressed in white and stood in the void with an indifferent expression. He nodded slightly at Xu Liushuang, then turned and left.

Su Mo asked Xue Qiaoqiao, “Who is that?”

Xue Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, “You don’t know?”

Su Mo was stunned, “Should I know?”

Xue Qiaoqiao’s expression was strange, “He’s the guardian of Tianmu’s garrison building. At the same time, he’s also the strongest level 6 Transcendent in Tianmu City. A peerless genius who had once killed a level 7 demon, the sword saint, Xu Changfeng.”
