Chapter 451: Chapter 186: Slaying the Demon Emperor with a Blade
...
Half a day passed.
Jing Province, Mangdang Mountain.
A figure appeared silently in a nearby forest.
Gazing at the distant, towering and treacherous Mangdang Mountain, he first scanned it with his Golden Eyes of Truth.
Deep within Mangdang Mountain, billowing Demon Qi permeated the air.
A single glance revealed it to be the lair of an Unparalleled Great Demon.
WMMMM—!
Fang Xing closed his eyes, his Primordial Spirit Projection probing the world.
The entire situation on Mangdang Mountain was laid bare in his mind.
Deep within Mangdang Mountain, a Demon Cave Mansion appeared in his mind’s eye.
At the entrance of the Demon Cave Mansion, four bold words appeared.
Black Mountain Cave Mansion!
The cave mansion was vast, divided into several areas.
Inside, the cave was a winding labyrinth.
He could see the figures of many Demons and Monsters moving about.
There were also several fox spirits with graceful figures, in a half-human, half-beast form, retaining their tails and pink ears, exuding an air of seduction.
"Hm?"
’He’s not here?’
After one sweep with his Primordial Spirit Projection, Fang Xing’s brow furrowed.
The entire Black Mountain Cave Mansion contained only a few underlings.
He didn’t see any sign of the Black Mountain Demon Emperor.
’Looks like I came at the wrong time...’
In the forest, Fang Xing’s eyes opened, and he gazed toward Mangdang Mountain.
His Primordial Spirit scan had revealed only a few Great Demons and some Little Demons and Monsters.
Forget the Black Mountain Demon Emperor; he hadn’t even seen a single Demon King.
’Then I’ll just wait for my prey to walk into the trap.’
Fang Xing sat down cross-legged, concealing his entire aura. Not the slightest fluctuation escaped him.
Unless someone came right up to him, they wouldn’t even notice his presence.
A hunt requires patience!
’So it wasn’t a one-and-done deal!’
However, with enough patience, the prey would naturally appear.
Judging by the state of the Black Mountain Cave Mansion, the Black Mountain Demon Emperor had only been gone for a short while.
When hunting a Demon Emperor, waiting a little longer was perfectly acceptable.
As he sat, Fang Xing was also secretly preparing his killing move.
Within his body, the Life-taking Demon Saber materialized, continuously gathering power as the black Heart of Slaughter throbbed.
The aura of the Demon Saber grew deeper and more profound.
Extreme One Slash!
’I’ll strive to kill him in a single strike!’
The fight couldn’t drag on for too long.
If he attracted reinforcements from other Demon Emperors, it would be dangerous.
It was best to avoid any unnecessary risks.
He was quite looking forward to his first time killing a Demon Emperor.
’Enhancement Points, a Demon Emperor’s Demon Essence Core.’
’This is a huge treasure trove!’
...
Jing Province. At the entrance to a cave mansion, a large man in a black robe stepped out.
"Damn it! That blasted human Martial Artist. Once I catch him, I’ll make sure he knows the true taste of pain."
The black-robed man grumbled a curse.
Just as he finished speaking, the figure of a graceful beauty appeared behind him from within the cave.
She wore a pink gauze dress, her skin was as white as snow, and her large, watery eyes gazed at the black-robed man. Her delicate body was pressed almost completely against his.
"My King, it’s already late. Why don’t you stay here with me?"
Looking at the beauty beside him, the black-robed man chuckled, his large hand caressing her pretty face. "I can’t. Things are tense lately, I can’t afford to slack off. I’ll keep you company next time."
"But I miss you so much, my King," the beauty in the pink dress said, looking at him with a pitiful and endearing expression.
Gazing at the pitiful, lovely sight before him, a fire ignited in the black-robed man’s heart. His eyes burned a little hotter. He gave her face a light pinch and laughed boisterously, "You little vixen. Next time, I’ll let you have your fill. I’m off."
The moment he finished speaking, the black-robed man’s figure flickered, transforming into a streak of light that vanished from the cave entrance.
"My King, don’t forget to come see me!"
Her sweet and delicate voice rang out.
"Haha, little beauty, don’t worry! This King will be back tomorrow!"
A coarse laugh echoed from the sky, but his figure was nowhere to be seen.
—
「Midnight!」
Outside Mangdang Mountain, Fang Xing sat cross-legged, as motionless as a statue.
Two hours had passed, but the Black Mountain Demon Emperor had still not appeared.
But Fang Xing was still not in a hurry.
He had patience.
He could wait for three days and three nights if he had to.
As long as he could kill the Black Mountain Demon Emperor, it would all be worth it.
...
The sky was as black as ink.
In the pitch-black night sky, a faint glimmer of light flashed. Suddenly, the light paused mid-air, revealing a burly, black-robed man with a tight frown.
"What’s going on?"
’Why do I feel so uneasy?’
The burly, black-robed man stared into the dark night, his brow deeply furrowed.
’Could it be that I’ve just been too tense lately?’
’Mm, looks like I’ll have to go relax again tomorrow. Need to blow off some steam.’
The thought flashed through his mind, and the burly, black-robed man immediately vanished into the night.
...
"Hm?"
’This aura... It’s the Black Mountain Demon Emperor!’
In the forest, Fang Xing’s eyes shot open. He looked up at the night sky. With his Primordial Spirit Perception, he had detected a dense wave of Demon Qi.
This was the Demon Qi of a Demon Emperor!
The Black Mountain Demon Emperor!
The target has appeared!
"You’ve finally arrived!" Fang Xing shot to his feet, a smile gracing his lips.
He had appeared in less than three hours, which was a bit faster than expected.
Looking up at the black night sky, Fang Xing’s focus sharpened to a single point.
It was as if he had forgotten everything else.
In the dark night sky, a blurry figure appeared in his vision.
It was faint, but to his eyes, it was perfectly clear!
It was none other than the target he had been waiting for.
CHA—!
Against the inky night sky, a towering figure appeared like a Deity as a Brahma Sound echoed through the heavens.
In that instant, time and space froze. The wind, the very air—everything stopped at that moment.
’Not good!’
The Black Mountain Demon Emperor was horrified. He tried to activate his Demonic Power, but he was a step too late.
SHIIING—!
Immediately after, a flash of purple Sword Qi illuminated the night, like a world-splitting blade, annihilating everything in its path!
"No!"
Staring at the approaching Sword Qi, an intense premonition of death enveloped the Black Mountain Demon Emperor’s heart. A terrified scream exploded in his mind.
BOOM—!
A sudden roar erupted in the sky. Demon Blood sprayed across the Void as a massive corpse plummeted toward the ground.
The Sword Qi raged, carving a path of destruction. The entirety of Mangdang Mountain was brutally sliced in two, kicking up a sky-blotting cloud of dust and debris.
Mid-air, a brilliant light flickered, and an incredibly faint Demon Soul shot out.
The Demon Soul of the Black Mountain Demon Emperor!
"Suppress!"
It had just escaped and had no time to react before a Golden Seal descended from the Void.
Vajra Demon Suppression!
Like an interwoven net, it instantly sealed the Demon Soul.
Golden light erupted from the Void, forming a golden vortex that instantly sucked the suppressed Demon Soul into its depths.
"Collect!"
Fang Xing waved his hand. A vast amount of True Essence swept out, and the Demon Emperor’s corpse, which had just hit the ground, was instantly pulled into his possession.
Surrounded by True Essence, Fang Xing stood upon the Void, his dark eyes gazing into the night.
SWOOSH—
Then, with a flicker, his figure vanished into the inky blackness of the night.
The collapsing Mangdang Mountain, ravaged by destructive Sword Qi.
Within a hundred-mile radius, not a single living creature survived. It had become a land of death!
