Chapter 4396
When Tian Luo heard the threat, he burst into laughter, saying, “You think the name of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect can intimidate me? That sect has been annihilated by our Demon Sealing Alliance; I’m well aware of that.”
“You’re just a remnant of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and today I’m going to take you down. It’ll earn me some merit too…”
With that, Tian Luo lunged straight at Zhu Qingxiu!
Zhu Qingxiu’s expression shifted dramatically; she never anticipated that the demonic cultivator before her was affiliated with the Demon Sealing Alliance!
Just as Tian Luo was about to reach Zhu Qingxiu, Kai appeared out of nowhere!
In an instant, he unleashed a powerful punch!
Boom!
This forceful blow halted Tian Luo in his tracks!
“Are you okay?” Kai asked, turning his attention to Zhu Qingxiu.
“I’m fine…” Zhu Qingxiu replied, shaking her head.
“Kai?” Tian Luo exclaimed, surprised to see him!
Kai met Tian Luo’s gaze, unfazed that he was recognized; after all, the Demon Sealing Alliance had been pursuing him for quite some time.
Tian Luo was thrilled. He raised his long sword and swung it violently at Kai!
In that moment, he completely disregarded the hunchbacked old man’s advice, fixated solely on seizing Kai!
The sword blade erupted with energy as Kai maneuvered to protect Zhu Qingxiu, demonstrating the power of a second-rank Mahayana realm cultivator!
Safely escorting Zhu Qingxiu to a secure spot, Kai steadied himself and summoned the Dragon Chopping Sword!
The air filled with a dragon’s roar as sword light flickered!
In his hands, a brilliant streak of sword light erupted!
Boom boom boom…
As their sword lights clashed, Tian Luo felt a tremendous force push against him, forcing him to stagger back!
The blood-red longsword he wielded trembled violently!
Tian Luo’s expression tightened as he assessed Kai.
Kai, gripping the Dragon Chopping Sword, felt the weight of the challenge; this opponent was formidable!
Tian Luo slowly raised his blood-red longsword, causing the surrounding space to quiver!
Suddenly, the void began to crack, and a crimson aura surged into the sword from the fissures!
In the blink of an eye, Tian Luo vanished!
Boom!
A streak of sword light shot out from the void!
Kai’s eyes gleamed with determination as he wielded the Dragon Chopping Sword, lifting it smoothly!
With that strike, golden light radiated in all directions!
Accompanied by a deafening noise, the very fabric of the void seemed to shatter!
Both Kai and Tian Luo were forced to retreat momentarily!
Yet, in an instant, they surged forward once more, launching a flurry of sword lights!
Watching the intense battle, Ji Yun and Zhu Qingxiu felt the tension rise; they were uncertain if Kai could hold his own against Tian Luo!
“Mr. Chen, let me assist you…” Zhu Qingxiu declared, charging in with her sword!
Though Zhu Qingxiu was only at the first rank of the Mahayana realm, her timely intervention could shift the battle in Kai’s favor!
As she struck like a flash of sword light, Ji Yun, seeing her move, leapt into action too, aiming to make it three against one!
Feeling the pressure, Tian Luo was pushed back. Realizing he was outnumbered and overmatched, he unleashed a fierce sword aura before vanishing into the void!
Zhu Qingxiu wanted to pursue him, but Kai stopped her.
“Don’t chase him. We need to make our way to Germanium Lushan. I hope those demonic cultivators aren’t headed toward the Divine Demon Battlefield.”
Kai knew that Tian Luo couldn’t be alone; he likely had allies nearby!
If more cultivators of equal or greater strength arrived, Kai would be at a disadvantage!
Thus, their priority was to find the Divine Demon Battlefield and investigate further before taking any other action!
