Chapter 362: 73: Sword Fight with the Emperors, Ao Jiu Makes His Appearance
Translator: 549690339
The Demon Kings present heard Zhao Huai’s arrogant words, initially stunned, then bursting into a round of mocking laughter like they were gazing at a foolish man who had no fear of death.
Who was the Flower Empress?
She was a powerful demon of the Eighth Realm, her status and position even above the Fiery Flood Dragon Emperor and the Six-Armed Demon Ape, two Demon Emperors.
He dares to recklessly challenge the Flower Empress? Planning to put her to death was simply a daydream.
Within the vast formation, the human cultivators who were recovering were surprised, and simultaneously felt some disappointment. They initially thought that powerful reinforcements had arrived, possibly an ancestor above the Metamorphosis Realm, but it turned out to be only one person.
The one who arrived was unexpectedly Prince Zhao Huai of the Yan, who had disappeared for five years. It was indeed surprising that he had survived until now, not escaping but actually coming to the center of the city.
His swordsmanship was also very brilliant, killing many of the Demon Army.
But what use is one strong individual against so many Demon Emperors, could he reverse this overwhelming situation?
Even if a few more ancestors in the Metamorphosis Realm were to arrive, they would likely not be able to change this dire situation. Unless those who arrive are the Mighty who survived the superior tribulation and are above the Metamorphosis Realm, then there might be a chance to reverse this crisis.
“Husband...”
Seeing Zhao Huai’s figure, Yu Qinghan murmured softly, her phoenix eyes full of worry.
Clearly, she also did not expect that Zhao Huai would step into this dangerous situation and come here.
“Boom!”
A shadow moved behind the spacious square, the ground shaking with its movement. A cultivator took a closer look and found that it was the Six-Armed Demon Ape hiding not far away.
Mainly because the Six-Armed Demon Ape’s body was too huge, reaching a hundred meters in height, standing like that without moving or releasing any qi, it looked just like Devil Mountain, undetectable.
Right now, Zhao Huai had appeared, declaring the death of the Flower Empress.
The Six-Armed Demon Ape was the first to despise this little human, immediately swinging its massive arm, trying to smash Zhao Huai into a pulp.
However, the formidable fists struck Zhao Huai, only to be stopped by an invisible barrier, causing ripples on its surface.
In the Sword Saint Realm, one’s body is protected by an impeccable shield formed by supreme sword qi. Normal methods can’t break through this defence.
Out of desperation, the Six-Armed Demon Ape could only tear off its arm that was being destroyed by the sword qi. It stumbled backward, a large amount of blood flowing from where its arm used to be.
It looked extremely uncomfortable.
This white-robed sword cultivator was indeed somewhat capable, causing it to lose an arm.
The powerful demons around that initially didn’t believe in the capabilities of the human cultivator, now took Zhao Huai seriously after seeing him cut off the Ape’s arm. Their expressions became solemn, and they started to surround him.
The high and mighty Flower Empress looking down from above, took a closer look at Zhao Huai’s face. Her seductive face showed interest, finally giving some importance to this human youth. She chuckled with her mouth full of sharp teeth and said:
“Zhao Huai from Yan, you are the Yan Master in Central State, the descendant of Ancestor Yan Zu after five hundred years?”
Zhao Huai didn’t respond. His gaze swept over the surroundings, spotting more than ten Demon Kings surrounding him. Among them were mighty demons of the Sixth Realm, having undergone three bodily evolutions.
Even a cultivator in the Metamorphosis Realm would choose to avoid fighting in such a situation.
Because attacking more with less is indeed unwise. Ten mighty demons of the Sixth Realm are enough to kill a cultivator in the Metamorphosis Realm.
When the cultivators on the square discovered Zhao Huai’s identity, they were initially less surprised, but seeing him repel the Demon Ape, hope flickered in their hearts once again.
“Prince Zhao Huai of the Yan has come to aid Anxi Prefecture at such a great risk. Is he here to save us? It’s incredible.”
“That’s something you wouldn’t know. Five years ago, the Empress and Prince Zhao Huai of the Yan were already open and straightforward with each other. The two have long put aside past differences and are now husband and wife. They planned to jointly face the invasion of every Heaven and Earth.”
Hearing this, many people became extraordinarily emotional.
The exploits of the former Prince of the Yan are gradually being known by more and more people. From obscurity after the fall of the Yan, to the resurgence of the Yan’s national fortune, the rise of his name in the Spiritual Mountains, to his protection of his wife by cutting down the evil way in the Xia Dynasty.
Many human cultivators have already started to admire him.
Anxi Prefecture has fallen, yet Zhao Huai still dares to break in. Just with this kind of courage, he has already made countless cultivators feel ashamed.
