Chapter 452: Chapter 187: Earth Fiend Divine Acupoints, Storm in the Liang Kingdom
Jing Province.
Deep within a grotto.
On a stone couch, a large man in a purple robe suddenly opened his eyes, his brow furrowing deeply.
"What’s going on?"
"Where is this feeling of unease coming from!"
The purple-robed man shot to his feet. An intense feeling of anxiety enveloped him, as if some matter of life and death had just occurred.
"HUMMM—!"
His hands danced, and a layer of dark light flickered as the purple-robed man stared intently.
After a long moment, the dark light finally dissipated, and all returned to calm.
’Nothing seems to be wrong... But what exactly is the problem?’
His brow was knitted into a tight knot as he lowered his head in deep thought.
"G-Great... Great King."
"Th-this is... This is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
Just then, a demon with the head of a wolf and the body of a man scrambled into the cave.
Hearing this, the unease in the purple-robed man’s heart grew even stronger.
Looking at the wolf-headed demon, his expression turned grave as he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"The Black Mountain King’s Life Plate... it’s shattered."
The wolf-headed demon reached him, took a breath, and dropped the bombshell.
BOOM—!
Hearing this news, the purple-robed man’s mind trembled. He grabbed the Wolf Demon’s shoulder, and a purple light flared in his eyes.
"What did you say?"
"Say that again?"
The purple-robed man’s violet eyes stared death at the Wolf Demon. Immense Demon Qi surged from him, compressing the very air.
"The B-Black... Mountain King’s Life Plate... it sh-shattered..." the Wolf Demon stammered out, enduring the immense pressure.
The moment he finished speaking, an even more monstrous aura erupted from the purple-robed man.
The Wolf Demon’s eyes rolled back, and he collapsed in a heap, as if his spine had been ripped out.
"Old Black..."
Without a glance at the collapsed Wolf Demon, the purple-robed man clenched his fists. In the next instant, his figure vanished from the cave.
The night was as black as ink.
Around the sundered Mangdang Mountain, a streak of purple light shot forth like an arrow.
In an instant, it arrived high above Mangdang Mountain.
The purple radiance halted, revealing the figure of the purple-robed man.
The deep night was still, the darkness thick.
Gazing at the sundered Mangdang Mountain, the purple-robed man’s face was frozen in a stunned daze.
It took him a long moment to snap out of it.
"This aura... It’s that damned Human Grandmaster!"
As he sensed the lingering aura in the air, the purple-robed man seemed to recall something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
That damned Human Grandmaster had appeared again.
But this time, he wasn’t after the Crimson Profound Demon King. He had come for Black Mountain, a Demon Emperor.
’This aura hasn’t even dissipated. The battle must have just ended. But how come there’s no sign that Black Mountain even fought back?’
’Could he have been killed in a single slash by that Human Grandmaster?’ The thought surfaced in his mind.
The purple-robed man shook his head. ’No, impossible. That damned Human Grandmaster is only in the Early Stage of Grandmaster. He absolutely cannot possess such power.’
’Yes, he must have set some kind of trap and used an Exotic Treasure to launch a sneak attack.’
The thoughts flashed through his mind. As he stared at the sundered Mangdang Mountain, intense Killing Intent surged within him, and his eyes turned crimson.
"Damned Human Race..."
"No, I have to find him. I’ll make sure he dies without a burial ground!"
With that thought, his intense Killing Intent erupted.
’Losing a few Demon Kings is nothing. Even if they all died, I’d just suffer a minor punishment and be held accountable. But the fall of Black Mountain... that’s something else entirely.’
’If I don’t find this damned human, it won’t be a simple matter of being reprimanded.’
’With the loss of a core power, not only will I have to face the wrath of the Demon Palace, but we will also suffer an unimaginably devastating blow.’
’Ten Thousand Demon Mountain might even be completely wiped from the map.’
’The fury we will face for losing a Demon Emperor is unimaginable.’
"BOOM—!"
Monstrous Killing Intent churned. As he stared at the sundered Mangdang Mountain, the Killing Intent and fury in his heart reached their peak. His Demonic Power surged, forming a colossal, sky-blotting hand that slammed down.
The mountain shattered, and a column of dust and smoke shot into the sky!
With a single strike, the entirety of Mangdang Mountain was reduced to dust. The purple-robed man looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with an ice-cold Killing Intent.
In his mind, the image of the young human man became clearer than ever before.
...
Jing Province.
Under the inky black night sky, a figure appeared out of thin air atop a mountain peak, landing silently on the edge of a cliff.
Fang Xing took a breath, then took out a glittering golden Elixir and swallowed it to restore his energy.
Using Extreme One Slash to kill the Black Mountain Demon Emperor had been far more effective than he had anticipated.
It was practically effortless.
Extreme One Slash had even been a bit of an overkill.
’But it was my first time killing a Demon Emperor, so a lack of experience is to be expected.’
’Either I overestimated the Demon Emperor, or I underestimated my own strength.’
’Next time, I’ll have to hold back a little. I wasted some of my vital energy for nothing.’
After refining the Elixir, Fang Xing exhaled, and the rosy color returned to his face.
’With this experience under my belt, things will go much better next time.’
"Let me go... I beg you, I’m willing to be your slave! Don’t... don’t kill me."
A weak voice suddenly echoed from within his Celestial Spirit Sea.
Hearing the voice in his mind, Fang Xing’s consciousness manifested in the Celestial Court, looking at the suppressed and imprisoned soul of the Black Mountain Demon Emperor.
At this moment, the Black Mountain Demon Emperor was on the verge of death, completely immobilized by the Vajra Demon Suppression Seal.
With a flicker of his Primordial Spirit, Fang Xing appeared before the Black Mountain Demon Emperor’s soul.
"Spare me, great human master! If you let me go, I can work for you."
The Black Mountain Demon Emperor pleaded for his life.
Hearing this, Fang Xing remained completely unmoved. He activated Celestial Extreme Devouring God, and as a golden light shone down, he immediately began the Refinement.
