I Possessed a Demon Sovereign

Chapter 28

The sword edge was like a black lightning bolt that thrust at the middle of Chen Luoyang’s back. The black lightning bolt didn’t have light and couldn’t illuminate anything.

Instead, it was like an envoy of darkness that guided the night to descend. When enveloped by the darkness, the entire hall felt as though it was in a deathly stillness where there was no light and no sound.

When inside the darkness, one would lose all awareness, and it felt as though all your senses were gone. Only the deathly shadow was rushing at its target.

Elder Mingjing and Shangguan Song realized it and shouted out in unison.

Elder Mingjing’s martial dao intent instantly transformed into a giant eight-armed arhat. The arhat executed a mountain-like palm strike at the assassin.

Shangguan Song was a little lacking. He was shocked by the sudden change in the situation, and he seemed to have been caught unprepared. His reaction and actions were all slightly slow, but just slightly.

However, for experts of this level, a slight delay was extremely significant. As such, Shangguan Song couldn’t catch up and could only watch as the pitch-black sword edge thrust at Chen Luoyang.

On the other side, Elder Mingjing had also reacted slightly slow due to his injuries and didn’t have time to intercept that assassin. He could only relieve the pressure by executing a palm strike at the actual body of the assassin.

Under the illumination of the Buddha’s aura, the shadow wavered a little before expanding. It was just like a sphere of black light.

Elder Mingjing’s attack struck at the sphere and shattered it.

There was a grunt from the darkness. The enemy suffered a little injury and forcefully endured Elder Mingjing’s attack. The sword edge that was carrying out the assassination didn’t get influenced.

The sword edge didn’t slow down and had actually increased its thrusting speed toward the back of Chen Luoyang!

Elder Mingjing was anxious and executed consecutive attacks with the intent to force the enemy to retreat. However, the assassin disregarded the attacks.

He risked his own death in order to assassinate Chen Luoyang.

Shangguan Song widened his eyes as he saw the sword edge getting extremely close to the vital part of Chen Luoyang’s back! However, it looked as though Chen Luoyang didn’t detect it and stood quietly without moving.

He wasn’t attacking back; he wasn’t defending, nor was he dodging.

As expected, he is severely injured. Before this, he had been putting on a false front and was actually powerless to fight others…

The same thought appeared in the minds of the assassin and Shangguan Song.

Right at this instant, Chen Luoyang made a move. He didn’t attack; he didn’t turn or even take a step. Chen Luoyang only did one thing… A soft shout.

“Get lost.”

He didn’t do anything else but this soft shout. His voice wasn’t loud either, but it was like a crash of thunder and change of weather!

Every pair of eyes could see a sound wave radiating outwards with Chen Luoyang at the center.

The pitch-black silence, the darkness that didn’t have light or sound had been abruptly ripped apart.

The sword edge that was just inches away from Chen Luoyang’s back shuddered due to the sound wave.

In the face of the furious thunder-like sound wave, the black light that defended the assassin’s body was instantly shattered like weak papier mâché!

The shadow faded and revealed a face of a Northern Desert Other Tribesman. The middle-aged man was currently standing still and was stupefied. His eyes were constantly shivering. The sword in his hand had almost reached Chen Luoyang’s back, but this back felt like it was at the other end of the world, and it was impossible to get closer.

The middle-aged man was unwilling to accept this fate, and his eyes sockets were going to break open. Immediately after, his eyes really burst apart. Fresh and bright red blood flowed down like tears and rolled down his cheeks. It wasn’t just his eyes: all of his five sense organs and seven apertures were bleeding.

The eyes of this Other Tribesman had lost all liveliness, and his vitality had already departed.

“Go and think about how you offended Xiuzhe.” Chen Luoyang didn’t turn back. “Otherwise, why would he ask you to give up your life to This Seat?”

By the side, Shangguan Song and Elder Mingjing felt dizzy, and their eyes went blank. By the time they came back to their senses, they saw the assassin standing still like a statue and lacking any life.

An Other Tribe’s martial king just like them, who was able to condense and manifest martial dao intent, a martial dao grandmaster… had been jolted to death by a soft shout from the Demon Sovereign!

It wasn’t just in the main hall, the weather outside the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage had also changed.

The clouds that covered the sky had gradually scattered, allowing the sun to shine down. The Demon Sovereign only required a single yell to cause a surge in wind and thunder, to shake heaven and earth!

At the mountain range below, Zhang Tianheng and Vajra who were fighting with Wang Dubao had felt their ears humming, while their qi and blood were also disrupted.

Wang Dubao had simply stood in place and was no longer moving. His eyes which had been flickering with blood-red radiance had suddenly exploded! When all the blood-red light scattered, Wang Dubao’s eyes turned blank before he collapsed.

The entire place had an illusory line of blood-red light that flashed by. Within that split second, the red line was severed with a bang!

“Cult Master’s prowess is unrivaled. He doesn’t even need to be proficient in the Blood Soul Curse. A soft shout was able to destroy the evil art,” Vajra said as he chuckled.

Zhang Tianheng used one hand to carry Wang Dubao and said in an unhappy tone, “Cult Master is obviously unrivaled. The problem is with our incompetence. Otherwise, would Cult Master have to act personally?”

The duo then returned to the Six Dragons Sovereign Carriage.

Elder Mingjing inspected the assassin’s corpse and spoke, “Reporting to Cult Master, this person should be one of the Ten Gallants under the Left Sage King Xiuzhe. He is the fourth-ranked ‘Black Owl’, Er Hanke. He is proficient in assassinations.”

Chen Luoyang had already gone back to his seat.

This corpse on the floor was the first enemy that he had killed personally. When he executed the Stake All Technique, he was rather anxious. It was fortunate that this body’s foundation was still existent.

His lightning-fast reaction speed was beyond his imagination. His movements were also able to keep up with his thoughts, nor were his reactions too slow that he couldn’t detect his enemy. But after using the move, the aftermath was also rather obvious.

He felt as though his entire body’s energy or stamina was empty. But the outcome of the battle was rather satisfying. He used a single move to eliminate two individuals.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t even considered one move; it could only be counted as half a move.

Chen Luoyang looked nonchalant as he quietly watched Zhang Tianheng carrying Wang Dubao back. The Demon Cult Protector was now in an unconscious state.

“Wake him up,” Chen Luoyang said indifferently. “Ask him the exact details of what happened.”

Zhang Tianheng quickly replied, “This subordinate understands.”

A tornado entered the main hall at this moment, and it was Xiao Yuntian. “Ke Luntu’s evil art has been neutralized. I imagine that it must be Cult Master who made the move. Yuntian is ashamed to trouble Cult Master.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Chen Luoyang replied indifferently and asked, “What is the situation over there?”

“The leader of the Ten Gallants, ‘Devil Wolf’ Ba Kun, was protecting ‘Mind Ghost’ Ke Luntu. I was crossing moves with him and was delayed.” Xiao Yuntian saw the corpse of the fallen ‘Black Owl’ Er Hanke before saying, “After Cult Master broke Mind Ghost’s evil art, Devil Wolf protected the Mind Ghost and retreated. Due to Left Sage King Xiuzhe’s unknown whereabouts, I didn’t pursue recklessly. Will Cult Master please forgive me?

“Other than that, Protector Wang’s Qian Prefecture’s branch disciples had received a treacherous assault. The enemy must have sent more than three individuals. That’s why Protector Wang wasn’t able to issue an alert before being subdued.”

Chen Luoyang said, “Search for those people. A blood debt must be compensated with blood.”

Xiao Yuntian bowed and said, “Please let this subordinate handle it. Cult Master’s journey must not be disrupted.”

“Go then,” Chen Luoyang responded before turning to look at Shangguan Song.

“Mingjing has injuries. Seventh Elder, what happened to you earlier?”
