Chapter 453: Chapter 323: Imperial Decree Seal, Sword Light Like the Heavens!
"Splash!"
Azure waves surged, and an Ao Turtle the size of a hill, over a hundred feet in size, raised towering waves, revealing its form as it gazed toward the Treasure Boat where Gu Yuan was located.
Its eyes were bright, like blood-colored lanterns, carrying immense pressure, and it was clearly at the peak of Mid-Stage Great Demon cultivation.
Not only that, a massive jade python several dozen feet long, and an exotic flying fish with four gray-laced wings stirred up rolling demon qi, also looking toward Gu Yuan.
Both the python and the fish were at Mid-Stage Great Demon cultivation.
"This fellow Daoist also seems unfamiliar. Where might you be from? Have you bound your token, do we have a chance?"
The illusion of Spirit Treasure Cliff became increasingly clear, and the time for the Secret Realm’s opening drew ever nearer.
Many Great Demons were starting to feel unsettled.
But the scene of a white-haired youth shattering the Tangg Sui Seal with bare hands, and Songg Yuyang slaying the Fire Cloud Rhinoceros in two breaths was still fresh in their minds, casting a shadow over the hearts of many Great Demons and those at the Golden Core stage.
All are overseas strong dragons, not to be provoked lightly!
But Spirit Treasure Cliff, with its Tier Four Spiritual Treasure and myriad opportunities, who wouldn’t covet it?
After a brief silence, three Great Demons joined forces, focusing their gaze on Gu Yuan.
Among all present, only Gu Yuan appeared unfamiliar, having not showcased any strength.
Perhaps, this was an opportunity!
Yet the fate of the Fire Cloud Rhinoceros served as a warning before them, so although these Great Demons eyed hungrily, they retained a thread of rationality, opting for courtesy before combat.
"After waiting for so long, is it finally my turn?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan offered a faint smile, not surprised.
Surrounded by a group of sharks, the slightest flaw would call forth a collective strike.
Only by displaying extraordinary strength could one hope to deter the crowd.
"If fellow Daoist possesses exceptional skills, we are willing to yield the path; if insufficient in strength, withdraw immediately, I guarantee, no one will trouble you!"
The Ao Turtle’s voice thundered like rolling thunder, addressing Gu Yuan.
The eyes of all the other demons also turned to Gu Yuan.
Amidst the many divine thoughts and gazes, Gu Yuan remained calm, looking around before finally addressing the Ao Turtle:
"Heaven has a virtue of cherishing life, and I see your demon qi is pure, so you must be a diligent practitioner. If I were to kill you, it might not be good."
"If I don’t kill you, those on East Qiao Mountain might not easily allow me to enter the mountain."
This statement was brazen and confident, as if it was a foregone conclusion that he could slay the Ao Turtle.
Hearing this, the Ao Turtle felt a surge of anger, but managed to contain it, replying: "In that case, what does your esteemed self propose, why not outline a plan?"
Gu Yuan gave a faint smile and said, "On East Qiao Mountain, there are still fourteen Great Demons and those at the Golden Core stage, choose a few who pose as a threat, who are usually unruly, and if I kill them, it should serve to convince you all."
"Arrogant!"
As soon as these words came out, a voice came from the void of East Qiao Mountain, filled with anger.
Gu Yuan paid no attention, merely asking the Ao Turtle: "Has this demon acted against the human race, endangering lives?"
The Ao Turtle was taken aback by Gu Yuan’s question, instinctively looking toward the speaker, responding: "This is the Bat Demon of Blood Cloud Marsh, known for drinking human blood, with considerable power, having cultivated for over seven hundred years, if you can..."
"Boom!"
Before the Ao Turtle could finish speaking, a brilliant sword light flashed before it.
The radiance of the sword was like the Great Sun, like thunder, majestically domineering, beyond description.
The sword light flashed and vanished before the Ao Turtle, but it still felt its scalp tingle, as if the great marsh before it had been cleaved in two, the terrifying sword qi causing a tremor in its heart, beyond words.
The sword light shot straight into the sky, piercing toward East Qiao Mountain.
The peak of East Qiao Mountain suddenly lit up.
All floating clouds were torn apart, the sky had never been clearer.
Only a corpse, accompanied by a mist of blood, fell from the sky.
A bat demon over a yard tall, its forehead pierced with a large hole, dead on the spot.
The power of one sword was evident.
At the peak of East Qiao Mountain, all fell silent.
"Choose again!"
Gu Yuan’s words brought everyone back to reality.
The Ao Turtle looked up in shock, realizing Gu Yuan was speaking to him.
"Enough, enough!"
The Ao Turtle no longer dared to choose, frantically replied.
"Choose!"
But Gu Yuan coldly commanded.
Forced into a corner, the Ao Turtle could only point toward the jade python beside it.
"This Python Demon, feeds on the hearts of men, especially fond of infants, has consumed over a thousand people, though done in secrecy, I know of it..."
Upon these words, the jade python’s face immediately turned pale, cursing, "Ao Turtle, I will..."
"Boom!"
But dazzling sword light split the great marsh like a great sun, coming with an unparalleled intent to execute.
The jade python, filled with terror, manipulated endless waves in an attempt to block.
But this sword, exceedingly brilliant, like thunder, golden fire, transcendent, tore through all Dharma Seals and water flows, unstoppable!
