Chapter 590 The Arrogant Demonic Cultivators (2)

"What?!" We have eight parties that were either lost or cannot be contacted in the Dark Phantom Forest?" A sixth realm ogre demonic cultivator of the great daemon cultivation realm gasped with utter shock.

One by one, the patrol parties were being exterminated as though the other side did not care if they had been found out.

This was ridiculous!

Moreover, none of the missing demonic cultivators had made their way back.

He was in a group of 30 hunters and he was reading from the array stones in his hands.

But he was not the commanding leader of this party.

Rather, this party had three powerful demonic cultivators of the profane daemon level, equivalent to a seventh realm golden saint level.

The commanding leader was a beastman that was at the Profane Daemon level and he was also very close to advancing to the Great Profane Daemon level. In fact, he was stronger than most of the celestial great saints.

This same beastman who called himself the Profane Daemon Shiba La was the most powerful demonic cultivator of his generation and he could even beat some of the Great Profane Daemons such as Great Profane Daemon Baozi, the son of their demonic clan sect leader.

After Great Profane Daemon Baozi had died, their demonic clan sect leader the Dark Sect Leader Baozi Renming was so enraged that he had sent out 10 powerful groups of hunters to track down the killer of his son.

This hunter group was not weak and everyone of them had a daemon sword and their own profound treasures.

And this hunter group was named number 1. The rest of the hunter groups were named number 2 to 10.

Profane Daemon Shiba La barked angrily, "Just how many golden celestials are we expecting to send out 10 groups of hunters?"

An old red fiend cultivation called Old Daft of the sixth cultivation realm answered, "Judging from the field of destruction, I say at least six groups of them."

Profane Daemon Shiba La frowned, "That is a lot. Is this information reliable?"

Old Daft answered, "Based on our estimates, we won't be wrong on this."

Little did he know that he was wrong. It was actually Ji Yuan who were going around to flush out the experiential and patrolling parties.

It was as though he knew where they were going.

Profane Daemon Shiba La said unhappily, "We shouldn't have cleared the desolate monsters from these areas. They are our best defenders against the golden celestials."

Old Daft smiled wryly, "We have to, or the desolate monsters will pose a danger to our demonic cultivators and moreover this place is too near to our Dark Phantom Citadel as well."

All of a sudden there was a bright light that exploded in front of them and it startled everyone.

It was because in front of them were hunter group number 4.

Old Daft who was in charge of monitoring the hunter groups gasped aloud as he saw the light from the hunter group number 4 had completely vanished as he monitored the magic tool that was shaped like a lotus in his hand.

"They have all completely vanished… this is impossible…"

Profane Daemon Shiba La immediately barked through his magic tool stone which was a heaven-step profound treasure to communicate among the hunter groups, "Hunter group 10, you are in very good position to investigate that bright light for you are the nearest. Moreover you are twice as strong as in a group than hunter group number 4. Go check the place out first. I will be joining you in the shortest time!"

After he had sent out his instructions, he immediately ordered the 29 other cultivators in his hunter group number 1, "Advance immediately! We are going to rip these arrogant golden celestials to many pieces!"

As soon as he had given out the order, there was another tremendous brilliant flare of profound energies that were being released and this time they could all feel the ground was shaking.

Old Daft was holding onto his magic tool with trembling fingers, "Hunter group 10… they are also… wiped out…"

Profane Daemon Shiba La was stunned, "They can't have unlimited profound strength, right?"

Old Draft was saying with trembling voice, "I have heard of an old legend. That one day, a Great Demon Sword Cultivator will appear to turn our world of cultivation upside down. Maybe today is this day… can you feel the sword energies that are in the air?"

Profane Daemon Shiba La was looking a little unsettled now; he could indeed feel the deadly sword energies that were in the air. Profound attacks would only leave behind profound energies and not the deadly penetrating power of the sword energies.

Usually profound defense can block off sword energies because there are not many powerful sword cultivators around that specialized in sword energies. Moreover sword energies will weaken very fast once it was projected.

Usually a profound attack need to be 30% stronger than the opponent profound defense to do any damage to the cultivator or else the profound attack would only damage the profound animus.

As for sword energies, although most of the time it is weak but the pentrating power is extremely strong and only require 50% or lesser, depending on their weapons and sword spirits to bypass a cultivator's profound defense.

Most profound defenses and auras would be sufficient enough to block off the sword energies. A powerful sword cultivator would need to have a powerful sword art, a high grade divine sword and also a sword spirit at the highest cultivation level in order to stand a chance against the powerful power cultivators.

And it seemed to him that their enemy did possess the three criteria's.

Profane Daemon Shiba La muttered, "Don't tell me our enemy has a supreme sword art and a celestial sword…"

All of a sudden, a beautiful golden celestial had suddenly flashed in their midst and he had raised his saintly divine sword with two sword spirits.

He had suddenly displayed dozens of illusional swords in their midst and each of the swords had suddenly exploded into deadly burst of sword bursts.

"Miracle art?!"

"Saintly divine sword?!"

"Two sword spirits?!"

Profane Daemon Shiba La had estimated wrongly!

But before he could mutter a word, Ji Yuan had sliced off his head with his ultimate sacred sword profound art as he sent a pillar of light to kill Profane Daemon Shiba La and four others that were strong enough to withstand his exploding sword energies.

Ji Yuan grinned, "Not bad, you can tank my Thousands Sacred Swords."

Such speed and power!

In a few blinks of an eye, the entire hunter group number 1 was completely massacred by Ji Yuan and he had received a total of 3378 points from the three hunter groups.

Zhi Jiugong and Hua Xunzi could not believe what they were seeing. Moreover they were moving faster than they had originally anticipated.

Hua Xunzi muttered with disbelief, "I don't believe it…"

Zhi Jiugong was also in disbelief at the speed that Ji Yuan could absorb the spiritual auras from this place. "In the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth, the mystic laws there actually lowered the recovery speed of the higher ranking cultivators while increasing the recovery speed of the lower ranking cultivators so that these two groups would not end up massacring each other in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth."

Hua Xunzi looked at Zhi Jiugong, "You mean that because we are no longer in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth now and therefore Ji Yuan's profound energy recovery is now much faster?"

Zhi Jiugong slowly nodded, "There are actually two types of sword cultivators. The normal ones and the sword energy cultivator. Sword energy cultivators are renowned for their insane recovery in profound energy. Never mess with them for they will wear us down slowly but surely for the ultimate kill."

Hua Xunzi said awkwardly, "It is no wonder why he is looking so spirited."

Zhi Jiugong smiled weakly, "They really need to send someone at the great saint level to slow Ji Yuan now. Right now, Ji Yuan's profound power is stronger than the profound defense of these demonic cultivators and he is unstoppable because he can keep using his sword profound arts to block their profound attacks almost nonstop."

Ji Yuan actually did not need profound defense when he had the profound power to cancel his oppoent's profound attacks.

Hua Xunzi looked at the dead demonic cultivators all around them and asked weakly, "Are you sure that we are not picking any of the profound treasures that are all over the place?"

Zhi Jiugong shook her head, "Ji Yuan says that this is against his martial honor. So usually he won't loot from the dead cultivators that are killed in battle by him or he will have bad luck."

Hua Xunzi sighed softly, "Bad luck? He actually believes in that? It's no wonder why he looks so poor…"

Zhi Jiugong was also looking awkwardly as she flashed forward, "Well, he actually has a bag of five leaf clovers. Believe it or not. Come. Or we will soon lose track of him. He is moving too fast with these rich spiritual auras in the air."

Hua Xunzi smiled weakly, "You just remind me not to pick a rich spiritual place for me to duel with a sword saint."
