Peerless Sword Saint Checks In Secretly For 3000 Years

Chapter 20



Chapter 20: Demon Tree! Falling Sun!

Step by step, Shen Changge walked along inside the gloomy dark mist.

At that moment.

The eyes of the elder who was at Early-stage Liberation were as red as blood as he desperately looked for the demon tree within the dark mist. He held his sword in his hand!

However, he could sense nothing at all.

But at that very moment!

He saw what seemed like a human figure before him!

His pupils constricted because the figure seemed to be somewhat familiar.

That person looked sincere and honest but slow of speech. Dressed in black from head to toe, his countenance seemed pale and lifeless.

It was Mo Qingchen!

“Qing…” The elder was about to speak, but he quickly discovered that Mo Qingchen was staring at him from within the darkness. All of a sudden, his eyes seemingly lit up with a somber glow that would send chills down anyone’s spine.

However, right at that very instant, a massive shadow abruptly appeared behind Mo Qingchen. Visible to the naked eye, that shadow turned out to be an endless cluster of those tree roots from earlier. Within a split second, they rose into the air and swept outwards in various directions in a crazed manner!

Swoosh!

The roots were coming towards the elder!

The elder’s pupils constricted. He held his Styling Sword in his hand as his Assaulting Sword hovered above his head, and he unleashed his power!

Ka-boom!

Tree roots fell and scattered all over the ground. However, those tree roots were still coming in such a way that they seemed endless, leaving wound after wound all over the elder’s body. Blood flowed all over the ground. His face turned pale immediately as his entire body trembled. Along the wounds, the Spiritual Energy from his body quickly leaked out.

“Skyfall!”

His sword bloomed with an extremely intense aura. The surrounding tree roots immediately dissipated. However, his sword hovered in front of Mo Qingchen and then froze in place.

Spllurgh!

A horrifying tree root instantly pierced his shoulder at speeds so fast that he wasn’t even able to react!

The elder felt a tremendous devouring force blooming from the powerful, withered roots.

“Uhh…”

His consciousness gradually faded.

The tree roots rushed towards him frantically, seemingly wanting to entangle him as well. They spread in a meandering pattern. At that moment, the place was already covered in dense tree roots that formed themselves into a massive, withered net.

However, right at that very moment!

Swoosh whoosh!

As if they sensed something terrifying, the massive number of roots retreated abruptly. Amid the chilling darkness, the elder sat shocked. What was it that could even impart fear into a demon tree?

He gradually slipped into a deep slumber.

However, right before his consciousness completely faded away, he seemingly caught sight of a wisp of dazzling Swordlight, the fleeing tree roots, Mo Qingchen who had been pierced by a sword, and a horrifying figure who was walking forward effortlessly through the darkness.

At that moment, Shen Changge arrived.

He glanced at the elder. It turned out that he had just been numbed by the toxin the tree roots were carrying. After that, he glanced at Mo Qingchen, who he had pierced with his sword. He had mastery over the Rebirth technique. It could be said that, although Rebirth was a secret simulation technique, he also had a spiritual breathing technique in the form of Spirit Guidance in his arsenal. When these two were combined, he could immediately tell that this Mo Qingchen was a fake with a single glance.

It was just a clone controlled by the demon.

“This demon is kinda interesting. It can create exact clones of whoever it has entangled. I think I’ve heard of such demons in the past. If it completely digests junior brother, it will gain mastery over all of his powers and basically pretend to be him.

“I gotta hurry up. I guess it’ll be fine to leave the elder over here. I left some of my aura behind, so I think those demons won’t dare to approach him,” Shen Changge said.

He performed a slash with his sword.

Ka-boom!

This attack had the fever of the Sol Sword Art and the vastness of the Empyrean Sword Manual. In an instant, a dazzling, brilliant golden Swordlight appeared, running through the dark mist like an everlasting beam of light amid the darkness!

The surrounding demons quickly laid on the ground after they felt the terrifying aura.

The aura exuded by the orthodox Empyrean Sword Manual was extremely majestic!

Shen Changge vanished into the darkness and swept across space like an aurora!

At that moment, the icy dark mist slowly squirmed. The vivid and strange substances inside morphed into thousands of threads, intertwined with each other in a scalp-numbing manner. At the center of the dark mist, where the intensity was the highest, stood a giant dead tree. There were no luxuriant branches or leaves, only a vast, bleak land deprived of life. The lines and crevasses on the tree seemed to form a sly smiling face. It was antiquated and strange.

There were three figures tied to the tree by the three enormous flowers.

They were Lin Qingxian, Qin Chuan, and Mo Qingchen.

At that moment they were veiled underneath the dark mist and had fallen into a coma.

However, at that time…

“Mmph…”

Mo Qingchen woke up and opened his eyes. His face was pale, and his eyes were a little confused.

What happened just now? And why do I feel that a few pieces of memory have entered into my mind?

In those memories, I think I… killed the elder? And… I remember seeing a horrifying beam of Swordlight that I’m assuming is from senior brother. His eyes were vicious and full of rage. And did he kill me with a single strike?

He could not help but sink back.

“Senior brother surely is a crafty person, but… he isn’t that powerful,” he muttered confidently. He then came to the conclusion that these were just illusions created by his confused mind.

He glanced at his junior sister and Qin Chuan beside him.

To save, or not to save?

If he were to rescue them, there was a great chance that he would be discovered and then be tied up again by the demon tree!

Mo Qingchen gritted his teeth…

However, at that very moment, before Mo Qingchen could react, the demon tree suddenly moved.

Its wrinkled and stiff bark began squirming, forming itself into an eerie smiling face. Then, it revealed a pair of strange green lantern-like eyes!

Ka-boom!

The earth shattered, and dense tree roots emerged wildly like the tentacles of countless demons, spreading their teeth and dancing claws and covering the sky and the sun!

“D*mn it!”

The corner of Mo Qingchen’s mouth twitched as his face instantly paled.

But just as he thought he was going to be surrounded by the dense horrifying roots!

Ka-boom!

All of a sudden, the sound of a massive explosion reverberated. It felt as if a blazing sun had risen amid the dark mist out of the blue!

The flow of light was extremely small in the dark mist, but at that moment, a flaming sun was right up in the sky, radiating dazzling light!

Unceasing amounts of light showered down!

It was slow, yet terrifying!

Whoosh!

A gust of Swordlight abruptly descended!

Assaulting Art: Falling Sun!

Could it be someone from the Sol Sword Sect?

Mo Qingchen’s pupils contracted. Immediately, he recognized this terrifying Assaulting Art. However, what made him feel extremely horrified was that this Assaulting Art was so orthodox that it could be classified as a pure Truth Return level Assaulting Art!

Light simmered through!

All the tree roots were seemingly melting!

From his perspective, those tree roots were immensely intimidating. However, under that sword, they seemed extremely fragile. The light pushed back the tree roots, causing the demon tree to tremble in terror!

Shock!

Mo Qingchen was shocked by the scene before his eyes!

Does the Sol Sword Sect have such a horrifying powerhouse even at these times?

Mo Qingchen’s face displayed great horror.
