Chapter 66
“Wuji Old Demon, you’re quite bold to show up!” Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised. He knew Yan Ling was colluding with the demonic path, but he hadn’t expected the other party to dare make such a bold move in front of him.
It seemed Yan Ling was prepared to forsake even the All Pleasure Sect, likely having prepared thoroughly.
“Holy Son, you flatter me. Why shouldn’t I appear? The vast realm of the Nine Heavens is mine to roam freely. Besides, who would dare to kill me upon my appearance, and who could stop me?” Wuji Old Demon revealed a confident smile.
Of course, his confidence was based on solid reasons. As a Great Saint-level existence, Wuji Old Demon was among the top powerhouses in the Nine Heavens Realm, mastering countless techniques, making those who wished to kill him few and far between.
As his words fell, a streak of cold light, seemingly from nowhere, arrived not with a grand oppressive force but with the will to annihilate everything. The subtle sword intent spread out at an unimaginable speed towards Wuji Old Demon.
Facing this formidable sword intent, Wuji Old Demon’s eyes flashed with a dark light, and a human skull floated up in his palm.
With a bang, the skull emitted a black light, filled with a ghastly and sinister aura. The black divine light collided with the cold light, unleashing boundless power. The sky shattered, and the emperors crumbled, turning everything within tens of thousands of miles to dust.
“The sword intent of Snow Moon Immortal is as sharp as ever! However, I did not come here to clash with Snow Moon Immortal, but merely to take Yan Ruyu with me. As the saintess of the Huan Huan Sect, Yan Ruyu is needed to inherit the sect’s legacy. I hope Snow Moon Immortal can oblige,” Wuji Old Demon said, while his aura continued to rise, insinuating a threat.
“Surely Snow Moon Immortal wouldn’t want the Primordial Holy Son to fall here, right? Even if you are powerful, I can hold you off for a while, but how can the Primordial Holy Son withstand Lord Yan Ling? The Primordial Holy Son, being only at the Great Master realm, is no match for her!” Wuji Old Demon chuckled.
Seeing this, Yan Ruyu trembled and took a deep breath, softly saying, “Holy Son, perhaps I should go with them.”
Given the temperament of the sect’s demon god son, he definitely couldn’t wait and would make the sect take action. They definitely wouldn’t dare to make a move while in the Primordial Holy Land or Ancestral Dragon City, where there were too many strong individuals.
So, it had to be when leaving Ancestral Dragon City. Jiang Chen just didn’t expect them to be so bold as to make their move within the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty. They really didn’t place the Great Qin Dynasty in their eyes.
“You knew from the beginning we would make a move!” Not just Yan Ling but even Wuji Old Demon were shocked. Their plan was incredibly secretive; how did this Primordial Holy Son know?
“That’s not for you to know. You all can make your move now,” Jiang Chen said indifferently.
As his voice fell, the three of them made their move simultaneously, and Yan Ling and Wuji Old Demon were dragged into the endless void by the combined effort of the three. For strong individuals of their level, making a move outside would likely devastate the entire Great Qin Dynasty.
“Thinking of leaving?” Seeing the demon god son attempting to flee, Jiang Chen coldly snorted, easily capturing him with a reach of his hand as if catching a small chicken. In front of Jiang Chen, the he had no power to resist.
“Impossible! Why do I have no power to fight back! When you clashed with Huang Qingtian, you weren’t this strong!” The demon god son was utterly baffled.
Even though he was not as powerful as these individuals, the gap shouldn’t be this vast. He was the demon child of the Extreme Path Demon Sect, supposedly on par with the divine children of the ancient imperial clans in terms of strength and talent.
Even with a significant gap, he should have had some power to resist. But in front of Jiang Chen, he had none!
“Why would you think I was at full strength back then?” Jiang Chen looked at him oddly. During his battle with Huang Qingtian, he hadn’t even used his Primordial Origin Body. He restrained himself, partly not wanting to be too ostentatious and partly because it was rare to encounter a decent opponent and he wanted to enjoy the battle.
A direct crush would have been too joyless. But the biggest reason was to keep some cards hidden. If he exposed everything too soon, death wouldn’t be far away.
“You’ve been hiding your strength all along!” The demon god son was stunned. Jiang Chen had faced Huang Qingtian, one of the top geniuses of the Nine Heavens Realm, and still held back his strength. This realization terrified him, making him realize the true extent of Jiang Chen’s power.
