Chapter 1289: Demon
When Xiao Chen finished practicing his two Palm Techniques, two different colored flames emerged from his eyes—one Yin and one Yang. He did not rush to form the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. His feet moved, following after the two energies of opposite attributes, closely observing the pushing and pulling power generated as the two energies chased each other.
During the Dragon's Gate's reestablishment ceremony, he felt that this power could actually be used not only for defense but also for offense.
The Taiji Dao that the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram contained could be explored further as well.
Slowly, a huge Taiji Diagram appeared under Xiao Chen's feet, blowing all the dust and leaves away, rendering the place completely clean with no dirt remaining whatsoever.
He retracted his hand, and the flames slowly withdrew into his eyes. He muttered, "Interesting. To think that I actually let the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram gather dust for so long. I should not have done that."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen frowned heavily and looked to the front. He said suspiciously, "Who is that? To think that he dares to barge into this place without any fear!"
Outside the vast mountain range, a person using a secret technique to try to hide his strong aura charged straight at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, showing no intention to change directions at all.
This secret technique to hide his aura was quite exquisite. However, it was still somewhat inferior to the Foundation Returning Art. It could not conceal anything from Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense.
This was just like someone in stealth walking naked down a boulevard without any fear, thinking that no one could see him. However, Xiao Chen saw everything clearly.
"This person is probably a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor. I wonder where he came from?" Xiao Chen said, feeling suspicious.
The various Royal Courts of the Sky Dome Realm possessed a close connection with some of the major factions of the Kunlun Realm, just like the Great Qin Nation's Royal Court had with the Ying Clan.
As for the Great Jin Nation, it was directly managed by the Martial God Palace. The various Royal Courts had a quasi-Emperor personally guarding them, perhaps even peak quasi-Emperors.
However, these did not matter. The quasi-Emperors of the various Royal Courts would not sneak into the Heavenly Saber Pavilion for no reason at all.
Since it was not a quasi-Emperor from one of the various Royal Courts, there was only one possibility: it was someone like Xiao Chen, who came from the Kunlun Realm.
However, who would be senseless enough to spend such vast resources to come to this lower realm where Spiritual Energy was sparse?
This person was powerful, completely bypassing the various formations and restrictions of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion. His figure flashed a few times in the air, then descended towards Qingyun Peak.
"He is actually going to Qingyun Peak. Is he here for me?"
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen circulated the Foundation Returning Art and hid his aura. Then, he silently arrived at Qingyun Peak. When he saw that person, he discovered that he had been overthinking this time.
This mysterious person was not at Qingyun Peak to look for Xiao Chen but for Liu Ruyue's father, who used his life to seal a Deep Abyss Demon in ice.
This person was dressed in black and possessed a slim and tall figure. He also had a handsome appearance and exuded an unrestrained evil aura. His body leaked faint Demonic Qi—the Demonic Qi that all the cultivators of the Kunlun Realm hated.
"A Demon!"
Judging from the aura of this person and the surrounding Demonic Qi, Xiao Chen could tell that he was a pure-blooded Demon with one look.
However, Xiao Chen did not know which of the eighteen Demon Races this person was. Some of the Demon Races were extremely hard to handle.
Not saying a word, Xiao Chen hid within a cloud and indifferently watched this person, wanting to see what he was up to.
"First Uncle, it has been hard on you. You have been trapped here for so many years by a bunch of common prey. Who could have thought that this insignificant Heavenly Saber Pavilion actually possessed a Divine Weapon? Coincidentally, I came to this Sky Dome Realm with my lord on a mission. Otherwise, who knows how much longer you would remain trapped here for?"
Right after the black-clad Demon spoke, he prepared to break the ice to release the Demon in it.
"Stop!"
A cold snort resounded, startling that black-clad Demon. There was actually someone in this Heavenly Saber Pavilion who could detect his presence.
When the black-clad Demon looked over his shoulder, he saw the clouds above scatter. The white-robed Xiao Chen descended and instantly arrived across him.
With Xiao Chen's current strength, he did not attach any importance to the Demon sealed in the ice. However, this ice was formed by the lifeforce of Liu Ruyue's father. Once the ice shattered, the corpse of Liu Ruyue's father would shatter along with it.
This was not something that Xiao Chen was willing to see. Although the old man might have died already, his corpse needed to remain intact. Regardless of the world, dying without a complete corpse was extremely disrespectful to the dead.
"A Consummation quasi-Emperor!"
When the black-clad Demon saw Xiao Chen, his expression changed greatly in startlement. To think there was a Consummation quasi-Emperor in this tiny Sky Dome Realm!
Furthermore, Xiao Chen was still so young, about the same age as this black-clad Demon's young master.
Xiao Chen already knew that this black-clad Demon was here in the Sky Dome Realm to carry out a mission. Coming to Qingyun Peak was just a matter of convenience, wanting to release his first uncle.
Not showing any politeness at all, he directly projected the might of a king and said coldly, "Speak honestly, what are you doing here in the Sky Dome Realm? If you are honest, I can spare your life."
After the initial shock, the black-clad Demon calmed down. "I do not need you to spare me. You are just an insignificant quasi-Emperor. You must be dreaming if you think you can capture me!"
"Ka!"
Wings made of flesh grew out of the black-clad Demon's back. When he flapped them, a strong wind blew. His body merged with the wind, slowly disappearing, leaving this place with the wind.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm. After he saw the other party's move, his eyes lit up. Then, he said softly, "So, it is a Winged Demon that is good at controlling the wind. This move is rather interesting."
In the Deep Sea Battlefield of the Sky Dome Realm, Xiao Chen had fought with all sorts of Demons. However, those Demons only possessed some strength that came from their bloodline, existences that were on the bottom rung.
This was his first time seeing a quasi-Emperor Winged Demon, which somewhat piqued his interest.
"Hahahaha! Puny human, what can you do to me? Even your Martial Emperors cannot capture me, what more you? Save your effort."
Laughter came from the strong howling wind above Xiao Chen.
With one breath, the black-clad Demon moved five kilometers. In a few more breaths, he had moved fifty kilometers.
"How ignorant!"
Mockery flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He pushed off with his feet and soared into the sky. He stood on purple lightning dragons and, with a few flips, blocked this strong wind that had gotten fifty kilometers away.
After that, he threw a palm strike, which sent that strong wind rolling back.
"Ow! Ouch!"
Pained shrieks came from the tumbling wind. Then, the wind gathered and reformed into the appearance of that black-clad Demon.
However, this time, that black-clad Demon did not appear as arrogant as before. Not to mention breaking the strong wind with a palm strike, Xiao Chen even ruptured the Demon's internal organs, inflicting severe injuries.
How could the black-clad Demon still dare to be so impudent? As he looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes filled with horror.
Xiao Chen could now fight a Second Heaven Martial Emperor. He had already reached the point of disdaining to make a move on Small Perfection quasi-Emperors like this black-clad Demon.
If not for the other party being a Demon that was hiding a secret, Xiao Chen would not bother with him.
"Speak. What are your intents by coming to this Sky Dome Realm?"
The black-clad Demon stepped back in the air, horrified. He thought very hard, seeking a counter for this situation. Just based on that palm strike earlier, this person should be on the same level as his young master.
A demonic genius, truly a demonic genius. To think that such a demonic genius can come from the human race!
He is too strong, holding an absolute advantage in strength. There is no way to use any tricks or techniques to overcome him. I can only use a forbidden art.
The black-clad Demon made up his mind. Determination flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xiao Chen. "You can forget about me telling you anything!"
Right after the black-clad Demon spoke, his energy suddenly soared wildly—a precursor of self-detonation. Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. This move was very horrifying, but Xiao Chen did not back off, simply coldly watched him self-detonate.
"Boom!"
He really self-detonated, Xiao Chen thought with some surprise as he watched the other party explode with fearsome energy, dying without a complete corpse.
However, Xiao Chen was only shocked momentarily. Such energy could already cause him significant injuries; it was better to defend.
Flames blazed in each of Xiao Chen's eyes. As the energy from the Demon's self-detonation swept over, the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram suddenly formed and easily blocked it.
No matter how strong the other party's self-detonation was, it could not do anything to the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram. Not even a breeze could cross.
After the explosion was over, Xiao Chen casually waved his hand and dispersed the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.
He looked to the front, at the shattered pieces of space and sighed. The space of this Sky Dome Realm was not stable enough. He also sighed at the decisiveness of the Demon. Perhaps he should not have displayed such strength.
"That's not right. This fellow is not dead yet!"
Xiao Chen felt a weak aura passing directly into the spatial tear in front. Then, he looked to the south and saw a spatial tear open in the sky. The weak figure of the black-clad Demon appeared before disappearing into another spatial tear, going very far away.
"What a fellow! He actually faked his death to try and trick me. However, even if he survives, his vitality is injured. Furthermore, does he really think that he can survive this?"
Xiao Chen's face sank. At some point in time, the Lunar Shadow Saber had appeared in his grasp. He drew the saber, and a flash of saber light entered that distant spatial tear just as it was closing.
Then, he sheathed his saber, not bothering anymore after sending out one saber strike. He only wondered where this mysterious Demon came from.
Was there another formidable existence aside from him?
--
Minutes later, a spatial tear opened. The black-clad Demon thought that he managed to flee, and his expression relaxed. He revealed a smile and was about to go down on one knee to greet the person in front of him.
Suddenly, a saber light containing a sharp, unparalleled saber intent arrived silently and chopped off the black-clad Demon's head.
Amid a splash of scarlet, that head did not even realize what happened before he died.
After the sharp saber light chopped off this black-clad Demon's head, it continued flying forward, showing no signs of stopping.
Everywhere the saber light passed, it sliced up space like tofu.
"Dang!"
A finger blocked the saber light. The person who made that move revealed a shocked expression. The saber light actually broke the skin of his finger, leaving a faint wound.
"Interesting. Even after flying so far and killing a person, it still can injure me."
Right after that person spoke, he released a resplendent light on his finger. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The saber light that Xiao Chen had sent out cracked. After a while, it shattered into bits.
