Chapter 1294 - 1295: The Final Battle
Yet, the Sword Demon stands alone, without any attachments. If a true battle were to occur, the Sword Demon could raze a city, which Mo Xuan does not wish to witness. Thus, he can only compromise.
At this moment, Xiao Tianyu’s expression is grim. Just now, he suffered severe injuries from the Sword Demon, directly affecting the outcome of the next battle. Yet, the person before him is so powerful that Xiao Tianyu cannot possibly withstand him.
After all, this is not the Primordial Universe.
Moreover, Xiao Tianyu believes that if Mo Xuan were not present, the Sword Demon’s attack would have been far more than a mere injury.
To blame, one can only blame power that isn’t strong enough.
Subsequently, Xiao Tianyu glared at Zhan Tian and sneered, "Your arrogance is nothing but a joke. Now, your life depends on your master saving you. Truly pathetic!"
"Get lost!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, kicking Zhan Tian.
Suddenly, Zhan Tian’s body flew out like a kite with its string cut, in utter disgrace, his gaze filled with desolation.
Clearly, the words from Xiao Tianyu had truly provoked him.
"Presumptuous!"
The Sword Demon caught Zhan Tian, snorted coldly, pointed ahead, and a vast Sword Power erupted, piercing through everything and invisibly aiming to kill Xiao Tianyu. At the moment of Sword Light’s explosion, Xiao Tianyu felt his entire body was bound by a mighty force, unable to struggle free.
"Sword Demon, you are too arrogant!" Mo Xuan roared, also pointing ahead, where two beams collided in mid-air and vanished, unraveling the binding force on Xiao Tianyu.
"Mo Xuan, for the sake of an ant, do you dare provoke me?" The Sword Demon coldly stared at Mo Xuan, who spoke, "Do you wish to fight?"
"There will be opportunities!" With that, the Sword Demon took Zhan Tian and strode away.
The Sword Demon might have left, but the surging waves in people’s hearts couldn’t calm. Such was the terror of a Peak Divine Separation Stage powerhouse.
In the Thousand Cities, a Peak Divine Separation Stage cultivator is invincible.
Some wondered how Xiao Tianyu dared to humiliate Zhan Tian despite the Sword Demon’s presence. Was he unafraid of death?
Yet, Xiao Tianyu felt exceedingly humiliated. Nevertheless, in a world where strength reigns supreme, all he could do was endure, waiting to rise before seeking revenge.
Little did they know, today’s bullying of Xiao Tianyu by the Sword Demon marked the beginning of the Sword Demon’s path of no return.
At this moment, people were concerned whether Xiao Tianyu had the strength to compete for first at the Wind Cloud Banquet after being severely injured by the Sword Demon’s attack, especially considering it came from a Divine Separation Stage expert, albeit a casual attack. People believed Xiao Tianyu was gravely injured.
Indeed, as anticipated by many, Xiao Tianyu spat another mouthful of blood, his aura unstable, descending from the sky with a complexion pale as paper, revealing severe injuries.
"Take it!" Mo Qingluan casually tossed a bottle of elixir, and Xiao Tianyu, without ceremony, directly consumed it, knowing now was no time for politeness. Soon, Xiao Tianyu sat cross-legged.
"I shall see how you compete with me for first!" At this moment, Demon Heaven stepped onto the battle stage, causing many to have puzzled expressions.
Demon Heaven, intending to seize the opportunity.
"Despicable!" Mo Qingluan coldly glanced at Demon Heaven.
Apart from the Fang Family and Yan Family, others showed disdain.
Su Mei’Er coldly said to Demon Heaven, "One of the proud twins of Celestial Demon City, Demon Heaven, yet seizes opportunity in times of trouble. Truly shameless!"
"He may forfeit the battle!" Demon Heaven snorted coldly.
Earlier, when Xiao Tianyu furiously defeated Zhan Tian, Demon Heaven realized he wasn’t Xiao Tianyu’s match. Now, with Xiao Tianyu wounded by the Sword Demon, how could he let such an excellent chance slip?
Moreover, with Xiao Tianyu being so monstrous, if not killed today, he would be endless trouble in the future.
Thus, Zhan Tian would stop at nothing to keep Xiao Tianyu here.
"You..." Su Mei’Er was so enraged her chest heaved. If possible, she wanted to fight for Xiao Tianyu.
The elder in charge of the selection stepped forward, wanting to speak, but Xiao Tianyu abruptly opened his eyes, "For me to forfeit, do you match?"
This battle concerns Mo Xuan, but also Xiao Tianyu himself, since when the Demon Sword descended earlier, without Mo Xuan, Xiao Tianyu would likely be dead. He couldn’t let Mo Xuan be humiliated.
"Excellent!" Demon Heaven stared at Xiao Tianyu, smiling, "Don’t say I bully you. You’re so badly injured, I’ll give you half an hour to meditate!"
His words sounded generous, yet unbeknownst, Xiao Tianyu’s internal organs were severely damaged, and such injuries couldn’t possibly recover in half an hour.
Thus, it’s clear that Demon Heaven’s conduct isn’t just despicable but utterly shameless.
"No need!" Xiao Tianyu snorted coldly, as half an hour, whether he meditated or not, changed nothing for him.
Then, slowly, Xiao Tianyu stood up, scarlet blood continually seeping from the corners of his mouth.
Below, Mo Qingluan saw this and, for unknown reasons, felt slight worry.
Consequently, Mo Qingluan’s beautiful eyes flashed with concern, cautioning, "This Demon Heaven is far more formidable than you imagine. Be careful!"
Xiao Tianyu didn’t respond, his eyes fixated on Demon Heaven, still embodying confidence, even with severe injuries.
Demon Heaven’s lips curved slightly upward, saying, "As everyone heard earlier, it’s not that I won’t give him time to meditate, but he’s heedless and doesn’t care, so how can this be my fault!"
His words made many grit their teeth with hatred, as although they’ve seen shamelessness, they had never seen such shamelessness as demonstrated by Demon Heaven.
At this moment, Demon Heaven slowly ascended into the air, his demonic aura terrifying, as a Golden-Winged Roc formed and loomed over Xiao Tianyu, its massive eyes filled with icy malice.
"Take advantage of your illness, claim your life!" Demon Heaven’s voice rang out, as the Roc spread its wings and rushed toward Xiao Tianyu, cold light boundless, seemingly able to cut through anything.
Boom~
The Wind Law unleashed, Xiao Tianyu’s figure suddenly disappeared from its spot, leaving the Roc striking empty space.
Instantly, Daoist Skill enveloped the sky, where a Sword Light emerged, so fast it was invisible, destroying everything, directly piercing through the Golden-Winged Roc. With a slight sound, the Sword Light flickered past, then the Roc vanished.
As this Sword Light descended, the void transformed into a realm of swords, where, above the sky, endless Sword Aura stacked layer upon layer, with Xiao Tianyu standing aloft like an unparalleled Sword Venerable, though blood continuously spilled from his mouth.
It seemed Xiao Tianyu’s internal injuries worsened, clearly caused by forcibly activating Daoist Skill.
"Exterminate!" A word uttered, and endless Sword Aura cascaded from the void, but as they crashed down, the Sword Power had lost its former glory.
Obviously, Xiao Tianyu no longer had enough power to sustain it.
