Chapter 345: 59: Proving the Way through Killing, Reuniting with an Old Friend Again_2

Hexagram one: On the battlefield, iron armor shattered, besieged by the Primitive World, infiltrate the enemy’s lair, the hint you receive is “Misfortune”.

Hexagram two: The skull is made of yellow soil, at dusk the battlefield turns to dust, move to the border, the hint you receive is “Misfortune”.

Hexagram three: One person, one city, three thousand miles, one sword can withstand millions of masters, defend Anxi Prefecture by killing, the hint you receive is “Fortune”.

Seeing the result, Zhao Huai thought a little.

It seemed that whether it was risking a small gain or moving to the border city, neither was wise.

He almost had gone with the second outcome.

Only the position of Anxi Prefecture was the most important. If it were to be broken by the Demon Army, all efforts would be wasted.

The battlefields were often about deception and truth.

One moment, everything was fine, the next moment the army came in, and the momentum was unstoppable— that was not good.

Having thought it through, Zhao Huai heads in the direction of Anxi Prefecture in his mind.

Anxi Prefecture was already in the Central State, but it was only a desert away from the Western State, making it an important military stronghold.

But at this moment.

A raging fire burns in the sky, a fireball descends from the heavens, with a diameter of more than ten meters, its heat causing the space to twist.

A cold voice comes from within the raging fire.

“Interfering in the Demon Emperor’s plan, die!”

A giant creature emerges, a red crow with a fiery cloud crest, copper bell-like eyes in a vivid red, spreading its wings, and immediately causing flying sand and rocks.

“Red eyed Fire Crow, Fifth Realm Demon King, having gone through two flesh transformations, comparable to a human Rebirth Realm cultivator,” Zhao Huai squints, recognizing the true identity of the demonic creature.

The Fire Crow Demon King opens its mouth and immediately emits a strong wave of scorching heat.

Whoosh, whoosh

The sound of the earth burning and cracking is unbearably piercing, and the destructive heatwave immediately spreads out, causing a sandstorm, covering everyone’s eyes with yellow sand.

The human cultivators in this area sensed the commotion and rushed over. When their Divine Insight perceived the scene before them, their bodies trembled in fear, and their hearts were in panic.

“This is a powerful demon that has undergone two flesh transformations! It has awakened part of the ancient Three-Legged Golden Crow’s bloodline, and its strength is not to be underestimated! Once it spits out this breath of flame, it can easily destroy a city!”

“It’s over. The Elder is not in the city, he went to help other places. Can this city still hold up against such a powerful demon?”

As many human cultivators show fear, a young cultivator looks at the center of the sandstorm and exclaims in surprise:

“Look, who is that! Standing in the middle of the battlefield, facing the Fire Crow Demon King!”

At this remark, everyone’s Divine Insight looks into the distance.

The Fire Crow Demon King, with its vividly large wings soaring in the sky, spits out a huge breath of fire at the white-robed man in the center of the ground, like a fiery meteorite falling!

Boom

Scorching energy waves, filled with the terrifying aura of the Demon King, spread out like water, destroying everything visible, even turning the gravel to charred black.

A fire cloud rises in this area, and the dust rushes to the sky, reaching the cloud layer, as if flame mountain had fallen.

A huge, bottomless pit is left on the ground.

Only then does everyone react and exclaims in surprise:

“Isn’t this Demon King coming for us?”

“It’s very likely that it’s looking for trouble with this white-robed man.”

“No way, what kind of existence can make a Demon King take it so seriously?”

Among the cultivators, a beautiful woman in a green lotus-patterned long skirt sees the disappearing figure of the white-robed man and can’t help but pause.

A fellow disciple around her notices the change in her expression and asks curiously:

“Senior Sister Lu, what’s wrong?”

“I think I’ve seen this white-robed man before.”

“Do you know this person?”

The fellow disciple was also surprised. They knew that Senior Sister Lu was a renowned young genius of the Immortal Yearning Sect, who had secluded herself for several years, successfully breaking through to the Golden Core Realm and becoming a pillar of the sect.

She had been closed off for so long, she shouldn’t have met many people.

“It just looks like someone I knew.”

Lu Wanqiu sees that the white-robed man does not reappear after disappearing, and her delicate face can not help but show worry, her heart aches.

It’s too tragic.

All the cultivators’ faces turn unsightly.

Just now, the Demon King’s attack was enough to crush any Golden Core cultivator, and even Rebirth Realm cultivators could not withstand it directly. They didn’t dare to think about how they could survive.But soon, a scene that made their jaws drop occurred.

Appearing in mid-air in a fluttering white robe without a single hair harmed, and carrying five flying swords on his back, all spinning around in a circle, emitting a chilly glow.

Raising his right hand, he pressed down, and the five flying swords went in five different directions towards the Fire Crow Demon King.

“One, two, three…”

“This this”

Human cultivators below were astonished at the dazzling display of the flying swords.

They also used swords, so they knew that usually, a sword cultivator could only possess one life-bound flying sword.

The more one controls, the more demanding it is for the cultivator’s own cultivation and talent.

Seeing that he could not kill or even injure Zhao Huai with a single blow, the Fire Crow Demon King’s expression was very ugly.

“Not very strong, but quite fast in running away, let this king see who is faster.”

The Fire Crow Demon King turned into a red stream of light, dodging the five life-bound flying swords, and let out a long howl in the sky.

As the sound echoed, the demon beast horde appeared again from the east and north, two ordinary Demon Kings each led tens of thousands of barbarian beast armies, charging towards the city gate, hoping to seize the city while the human cultivators were too busy to act.

“The demon army is here, quickly return to defend, garrison the city!”

A cultivator loudly reminded, and the people immediately reacted, all controlling their flying swords to rush to the city gate, killing the sneaking demons!

Lu Wanqiu saw Zhao Huai’s unharmed figure and breathed a sigh of relief, she also moved forward with long strides, controlling her sword and killing the demon army in that direction.

It really was him.

It was true that it’s him.

So many years had passed, and his strength had grown much stronger than hers.

“Kill!”

Disciples of the Immortal Yearning Sect were in mid-air, and various techniques such as fireball and water dragon were casted out, expensive talismans were used, and all kinds of techniques were endless. The Western Army of Xia formed a battle array, and with an overwhelming formation, they went to fight the demon army like a sharp knife, while guarding the center of the city.

In a short while, the ground was filled with a bloody mess, human blood and demon blood soaked the yellow sand, and a strong smell of blood rushed to the face.

Zhao Huai had no time to pay attention to them.

Instead, he controlled the five flying swords and suppressed the Fire Crow Demon King.

This was his first time using five swords simultaneously, so he had to adapt quickly.

The Fire Crow Demon King’s strength was very high, and his battle experience was very seasoned, definitely a Demon King that crawled out from a pile of bones.

Demons were different from humans; they lived by the law of the jungle and wanted resources to grow stronger.

That’s why every Demon King was a formidable existence, and Zhao Huai would not commit the mistake of underestimating them.

Taking the opportunity, he slapped his wrist, and the Purple Lightning Immortal Sword quickly slashed out like lightning, with a dense electric web capturing the trajectory of the Fire Crow Demon King as he glided swiftly through the sky.

Whoosh

Electric light flashed, and the sizzling sound fell.

A red flesh wing was severed and dropped to the ground.

The Fire Crow Demon King’s expression changed drastically, his speed slowed down, and Zhao Huai kicked him again.

Thump!

He kicked him into a deep pit, and then immediately caught the Purple Lightning, pierced the sword into the ground in mid-air.

Intending to kill him directly.

At the critical moment, the Fire Crow Demon King, sweating coldly, conjured a palm sized bull skull with horns.

A thick black light flashed, directly covering up him.

And just barely blocked this blow.

His eyes were full of panic.

In just ten breaths, the opponent had already chopped off one of his wings, his strength was overwhelming.

Initially, after several unsuccessful attempts, he wanted to leave, but the white robed sword cultivator continuously locked him down, no matter where he went, it was useless.

What was even more weird was that the Fire Crow Demon King noticed that the man in front of him maintained his peak state, never declining.

He felt like he was facing a deep, vast ocean, unable to fathom its depth.

It’s like a thousand-meter race, where one starts with a lot of energy and weakens as the race continues.

But this human cultivator was the opposite, getting stronger as the battle went on.

He was a little overwhelmed.

Looking at the bull skull with horns, Zhao Huai’s eyes narrowed, as he felt a terrifying energy emanating from it.

This power seemed to come from the Demon Emperor.
