Chapter 84: The Bloody East Palace

After the eight Shadow Demon Guards were all dispatched, they were like a cold killing machine, wherever they passed, the palace guards fell one after another.

Although this group of guards had rarely experienced battlefield fights, they were at least somewhat capable since they were the palace guards.

There was no need for the command of the young general in the white robe. After experiencing the initial panic, the guards rushed towards the Shadow Demon Guards.

Even if the guard army had died and only less than one-third was left, the number was still more than 10,000. Compared with only eight Shadow Demon Guards, it had an absolute advantage in number.

If it were to change to the general who was an Early-stage Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator, facing a guard army of more than 10,000 people, he was afraid that his ultimate fate would be the exhaustion of True Energy and be besieged to death.

However, although the eight Shadow Demon Guards possessed the same strength as the cultivators in the Early-stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm, they were not cultivators. There was no such thing as dying from the exhaustion of True Energy, and they would not even be easily killed. Even if their bodies were pierced or even cut into pieces, they could still restore their bodies back and fight endlessly again.

As a result, from the beginning, only the palace guards kept falling down, not a single Shadow Demon Guard fell down.

As time passed, the leader in white robe gradually realized that something was wrong, and quickly looked at Mo Xiu, and said, "Don't worry about those monsters, everyone, attack Lin Wuji!"

The army was ordered to stop fighting with the Shadow Demon Guards but instead rushed towards Mo Xiu in a formation.

This was a very clever approach because the Shadow Demon Guards were refined by Mo Xiu, and they only listened to Mo Xiu's commands. As long as they could kill Mo Xiu, all the Shadow Demon Guards would disappear.

But how could Mo Xiu be killed by anyone who wanted to kill?

In the face of absolute strength, no matter how large the number of people was, it was imaginary.

Before the guard army could rush forward, Mo Xiu released his terrible pressure, directly suppressing the guard army immobile.

At this moment, a sword light flashed, and the Abyss Demon Sword flashed out of thin air, killing the guards quickly.

Wherever it passed, heads rolled, and the guard army fell in pieces.

"What... what's going on?"

The leader of the white robe was stunned, he never expected such a situation to happen.

The killing was not only the Abyss Demon Sword, but the eight Shadow Demon Guards once again rushed into the army, killing frantically.

Just now, the palace guards could still resist, but now, they couldn't move under the terrifying pressure of Mo Xiu. So since they couldn't even resist, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, they could only obediently wait for the fate of being slaughtered.

In just a moment, the remaining more than 10,000 guards all fell, and none was spared.

There were patches of corpses on the ground, the entire East Palace became a graveyard and battlefield of endless flowing blood at the same time. On the ground, apart from Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian, there were only Liu Zhenkong, the young general in a white robe, and eight Shadow Demon Guards.

After experiencing the initial shock, the white-robed young general was so frightened that his legs were weak, so since he could no longer take revenge on the prince Yan Qi, he turned and ran.

Before he could run far away, the Abyss Demon Sword pierced his body in the blink of an eye.

With a crash, the young white-robed general slowly fell to the ground with his eyes still opened.

The remaining Liu Zhenkong did not escape, but drew out the blade hanging from his waist and looked at Mo Xiu coldly.

"This is the palace, you can't escape!" Liu Zhenkong said in a deep voice.

"Escape? Why should I escape?" Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, speaking with disdain.

"In that case, you can stay here!"

Liu Zhenkong snorted coldly, and rushed towards Mo Xiu with the blade, and slashed towards Mo Xiu.

Then Mo Xiu also raised his hand, the Abyss Demon Sword returned to his hand and he greeted the incoming blade.

"Clank!"

Follow by that metallic sound, a cracking sound could be heard. The blade in Liu Zhenkong's hand disappeared from his hand and every inch of it shattered.

"This must be an illusion!" Liu Zhenkong was shocked.

In an instant, the sword light flashed, and Mo Xiu split Liu Zhenkong in half with a single sword.

Liu Zhenkong opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief, and his two halves bodies slowly fell to the ground.

After a while, Su Qianqian who was watching was surprised and said, "This... is this all solved?"

Su Qianqian had a certain understanding of Mo Xiu's strength and knew that Mo Xiu was very strong, beyond her imagination.

She had also seen Mo Xiu destroying a stronghold of the Blood Moon Pavilion with one man and many enemies.

However, just now, faced with the tens of thousands of troops guarding the palace, and Liu Zhenkong, the head of the four masters of the Yan Kingdom, Mo Xiu was unscathed, and he could also protect her from any damage. Along with that, he counter-killed the opponents, beheading tens of thousands of troops together with Liu Zhenkong.

What terrifying strength as this?

Now, she finally knew why Mo Xiu could single-handedly find and destroy the entire Blood Moon Pavilions, why he could kill Mu Yannian, the owner of the Mountain and River Medical Center, and why he could rescue her from Yan Qi's claws...

After all, Mo Xiu's strength was so terrifying, what else couldn't be done?

Hearing Su Qianqian's words, Mo Xiu shook his head slightly, "It's just a small part of the solution, it's still early to say this."

There were only a group of eunuchs and palace maids left in the East Palace shivering in the room. No one could stop Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian from leaving.

For those eunuchs and palace maids, Mo Xiu naturally didn't have the intention to kill them all.

He just left the East Palace with eight Shadow Demon Guards, Su Qianqian, and the Abyss Demon Sword in his hand.

The imperial palace was heavily guarded, and the guarding army was far more than one hundred thousand. So apparently, only a small part of them appeared in the East Palace just now.

After Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian left the East Palace, more guards approached them.

This time, the eight Shadow Demon Guards stood in eight positions, protecting Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian in the middle. Even if Mo Xiu did not take action, no guard could tear the defenses of the eight Shadow Demon Guards. Instead, countless guards fell to the ground.

Just when Su Qianqian thought that there would be no surprises this time, a figure in the crowd rushed forward at an alarming speed, banging a Shadow Demon Guard with a palm.

The next moment, the person changed the direction of his palm and attacked Su Qianqian on her back.

Su Qianqian was caught off guard, and even with limited strength, she couldn't dodge at all.

Seeing that she was about to be hit by the other's palm, one hand timely grabbed her arm and took her to fly.

As soon as the man shot down, he slapped another Shadow Demon Guard with unabated momentum, and after a sound of an explosion, another Shadow Demon Guard was shot flying.

The two Shadow Demon Guards were shot flying at once, but the man was not so happy. Instead, he screamed and said uncomfortably, "Why did I fail?"

With that said, Mo Xiu and Su Qianqian who looked at the sky above shouted loudly, "Lin Wuji, do you dare to fight with me?"

Mo Xiu was non-committal and asked, "Who are you?"

The person replied, "The Seraphic Sword Sect, Hu Yanxiao!"

After a while, Mo Xiu gathered the eight Shadow Demon Guards into the shadow behind him, and took Su Qianqian with him, and followed Hu Yanxiao to an empty land.

Let Su Qianqian wait aside, Mo Xiu held the Abyss Demon Sword in his hand and confronted Hu Yanxiao.

Hu Yanxiao also took out a scarlet sword. Then he looked at Mo Xiu but did not immediately attack, but said, "You are much stronger than I thought. No wonder you can kill Yan Wuhen."

"..."

Mo Xiu remained silent, saying nothing.

Hu Yanxiao said again, "Yan Wuhen's cultivation base is in the Middle-stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm, and my cultivation is also in the Middle-stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm, but what he cultivates is only ordinary spiritual level techniques, and he also forced a breakthrough to the Middle-stage of the Spirit Vessel Realm with a secret method too. But what I practice is the orthodox Earth-level technique of the Seraphic Sword Sect. My cultivation base is improved step by step too, so I am different from him."

After a pause, he said confidently, "I am stronger than him!"

"Is it?" Mo Xiu didn't care.

Hu Yanxiao was stunned, and then he laughed, "It seems that you still don't understand, so I'll just tell you. You can kill Yan Wuhen, but you can't kill me. On the contrary, I can easily kill you!"

"You can try it," Mo Xiu still looked uncaring.

Hu Yanxiao narrowed his smile and said seriously, "I heard that you are a very arrogant person. Now, it seems that the rumors are true, but those who have the strength are arrogant, it is because they have the qualifications for arrogance. But you are far behind. Your arrogance looks ridiculous to me, it's just bluffing."

Mo Xiu didn't bother to talk nonsense with Hu Yanxiao anymore. He directly turned on the Profound Yellow Combat Body, then his strength skyrocketed. Without delay, he also cast the Everlasting Instant Shadow Step and rushed towards Hu Yanxiao with the Abyss Demon Sword.

Originally, Hu Yanxiao wanted to nag Mo Xiu again. After breaking through Mo Xiu's psychological defenses, he would then attack Mo Xiu by surprise at the least cost. But he didn't expect that Mo Xiu would do something so unexpected.

More importantly, he clearly felt that Mo Xiu's cultivation base was only at the peak level of the Core Formation Realm, but he never thought that Mo Xiu's speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. Even if he was a Middle-stage Spirit Vessel Realm cultivator, his naked eye still couldn't catch Mo Xiu's figure.

"So fast!"

Hu Yanxiao was shocked, only to realize that Mo Xiu was not bluffing just now, but really qualified for arrogance.

Before he could find out where Mo Xiu was, a tingling pain came from his chest. After looking intently, he didn't know when, but a figure appeared in front of him. It was Mo Xiu, and Mo Xiu was holding the Abyss Demon Sword that already pierced his chest.

With a crisp sound, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, Hu Yanxiao opened his eyes wide, and asked in disbelief, "Who are you?"

"The one who killed you."

Mo Xiu said but did not pull out the Abyss Demon Sword, but silently recited a formula, injecting the True Energy into the Abyss Demon Sword, and the Abyss Demon Sword immediately let out the dark light.

When the light converged, Mo Xiu had already pulled out the Abyss Demon Sword.

With the sound of falling, Hu Yanxiao's corpse fell to the ground, but the corpse was shriveled. If one didn't look carefully, he definitely could not identify it as Hu Yanxiao's corpse.
