CHAPTER 288: CHAPTER 283 FIERCE DEMON

High above, the vast demon army of the Demon World echoed with cheers, its morale was high.

In contrast, the human cultivators seemed dead silent.

On the eve of a great battle, the confrontation between the two forces in the vanguard directly affects morale.

"If the human cultivators cannot reverse their decline, their morale will be damaged, and in the coming battle, they might be at a disadvantage," Meng Hong whispered, knowing that the big battle between armies is completely different from a one-on-one duel; seizing the momentum and morale is extremely important.

In one-on-one combat, the cultivator’s strength is set, but in a battle between armies, it is a sea of corpses and blood; if morale is lost, under the weak position, once confidence collapses, the forces will crumble and lead to a terrible defeat.

At this time, from the direction of the West Emperor Palace, a figure was flying on his sword, entering the battlefield.

This person’s bearing was graceful, carrying an ancient sword, truly impressive, causing many to exclaim in recognition of him.

"It’s him." Li Fan and others also recognized him; during the demon siege of the island, a sword cultivator dragged the corpse of a great demon Jiao Dragon into the island, heading towards the West Emperor Palace. It was said that he came from West Flame Island.

The person before them was precisely that sword cultivator.

His cultivation was just right at the Mid Stage of Condensed Core, and the Jiao Dragon he slew that day was a peak Fifth Realm great Jiao, his strength was undeniable.

According to Meng Hong, there was a hidden top Great Sword Cultivator on West Flame Island.

This person was the disciple of that Great Sword Cultivator.

"Sword Cultivator of West Flame Island, Yuwen Jing, here to teach." The sword cultivator said loudly, causing the Mermaid to raise her brow, her evil eyes fixed on him, coldly saying, "The one from West Flame Island doesn’t focus on cultivation and wants to meddle here?"

"Since a thousand years ago, the cultivators worldwide united, in the demon chaos, our generations of cultivators jointly exterminated the demons." A hint of sharpness was contained in Yuwen Jing’s calm voice.

"Then you shall witness the strength of West Flame Island’s sword cultivators." The Mermaid spoke to the female demon below.

"Understood." The female demon nodded, her gaze became more serious. She had heard the master speak of West Flame Island, though the island’s fame was far less than West Emperor Island’s, the Great Sword Cultivator there made the demon world of West Sea extremely fearful.

Around Yuwen Jing, radiant sword aura bloomed, dazzling golden light shined around his body, as everyone looked, they saw a sword domain seeming to appear around Yuwen Jing, countless sword intents surrounded his body, like an invincible sword.

The female demon moved forward rapidly, looking up at Yuwen Jing, as before, releasing her petrification talent, instantly causing rocks to appear around Yuwen Jing, intending to petrify him.

However, they saw the golden sword light shining, like countless golden lightning surrounding Yuwen Jing’s body, smashing the petrification power as it arrived.

"Great..." A burst of cheers came from below.

"This demon woman’s strongest talent should be this petrification ability; a glance can petrify a person, the innate divine ability poses a great threat, but Yuwen Jing’s surrounding sword domain always restrains the petrification ability; thus, this female demon will undoubtedly be defeated," Meng Hong looked at Yuwen Jing with admiration.

The reputation of the sword cultivator from West Flame Island is well-deserved.

He unconsciously glanced at Li Fan beside him, the young man in white next to him was also a sword cultivator with extraordinary talent, just lacking in cultivation realm; if his cultivation reached the level, he should be comparable to Yuwen Jing from West Flame Island, right?

Within the battlefield, the golden light shone everywhere, dazzling the eyes; Li Fan looked up and saw the golden sword light enveloping the entire world, extremely splendid.

"Golden Brilliance Sword Intent, known for its indestructibility, possesses extreme sharpness; even among sword cultivators, it still belongs to a sword dao with extremely strong attacking power," Meng Hong continued gazing at the battlefield, seemingly longing.

"You hold the sword cultivator from West Flame Island in high regard?" Luo Qingyan asked with a smile.

"Although he rarely travels outside, he is indeed one of the top Great Sword Cultivators in Da Li; his disciples naturally inspire awe," Meng Hong said. "For a thousand years, the demon’s chaos has plagued the world, the conflict between humans and demons has never stopped; it is the generations of top cultivators that allow humans to hold the lead. Now, in this West Sea area, the demons have again stirred up trouble, it requires those powerful figures to emerge and calm this storm."

"As for sword cultivation, unfortunately, I lack sword dao talent; otherwise, I would definitely become a sword cultivator." Meng Hong said with a smile.

"Meng brother, why do you aspire to be a sword cultivator?" Li Fan asked curiously.

"Sword cultivators have the strongest attacking power; a top sword cultivator proceeds without hesitation, inspiring fascination. Certainly, there’s also the influence of generations of Great Sword Cultivators in the world; the Li Mountain Sword Cultivators are feared by demons, what grandeur, how could I not aspire to it?" Meng Hong declared loudly. "The Qingshan siblings have exceptional talent in sword dao; in the future, they have the potential to become the Great Sword Cultivator I aspire to."

"Brother Yang will surely succeed," Sun Zhao from behind also spoke up. Though Li Fan was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he already showed traces of a top Great Sword Cultivator.

He is still young, with infinite possibilities in the future.

"Then I must work hard to not let you all down." Li Fan looked up at the battlefield. Of course, he would become a top Great Sword Cultivator, and even though Li Mountain might fall into decline, people across the world would still remember the splendor of Li Mountain Sword Cultivators.

Especially during times of demon chaos, the first thing people thought of was Li Mountain.

As the heir of Li Mountain, he was destined to restore the splendor of the Li Mountain Sword Cultivators.

High above the battlefield, the female demon forced by Yuwen Jing had transformed into her true form, a gigantic sea serpent with grey patterns in her huge snake eyes. Wherever her gaze landed, everything turned to stone, and her scales were incredibly resilient.

But even so, the female demon was still firmly suppressed by Yuwen Jing. The Golden Brilliance Sword Intent filled the sky, transforming into a Sword Domain, burying that part of the world under countless swords. Despite the Snake Demon’s formidable defense, she ultimately could not withstand the domineering attacks of the Golden Brilliance Sword Intent and was torn apart under Yuwen Jing’s sword.

Li Fan and the others were not surprised; Yuwen Jing had come to the island with the corpse of a Fifth Realms pinnacle Jiao Dragon. This female demon’s talents were strong, but how could she be his match?

In this battle, the morale of the human cultivators soared, and everyone once again saw the elegance of the Sword Cultivators.

"Indeed worthy of being a sword cultivator from West Flame Island, I am not as good as him." In the West Emperor Palace, the proud Song Siyu looked towards Yuwen Jing and thought to herself. She couldn’t help but recall the young figure who had previously slain Nan Zhengchuan.

His sword was also exceptionally strong.

With the demons besieging the island, could he also be among this vast crowd of people?

Yuwen Jing killed several demons in a row; even when a Fifth Realms pinnacle demon emerged from the demon army, he did not switch out, continuing to slay, greatly invigorating the morale of the human cultivators.

The sword cultivator Yuwen Jing from West Flame Island became remembered by the people of West Emperor Island.

Eventually, the Mermaid, helplessly, had to replace him with a demon of the Initial Realm of the Fifth Realms, and only then did Yuwen Jing withdraw from the battlefield, not bullying the weak with the strong.

"You have already lost many battles, yet you continue to humiliate yourselves by challenging us?" From the direction of the West Emperor Palace, Liu Zonglin looked at the Mermaid and said loudly.

On the eve of the great war, the vanguard battle had points to stop, but now it seemed that the demon army was unwilling to concede, as their previous battles were penetrated by Yuwen Jing alone.

"Your West Emperor Palace is incompetent and resorts to outsiders for help. You humans are still the same as always." The Mermaid’s sinister eyes were indifferent, saying, "He will be the last vanguard from our Demon Race; he will crush the humans you send to battle."

"Still so arrogant and conceited." Liu Zonglin sneered, "Who will go for a battle."

Everyone looked at the demon stepping forward, still in human form, appearing quite young with an aura of wickedness, white head and green body, and those eyes made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

A cultivator from the West Emperor Palace stepped forward, heading towards the battlefield. This person was towering and domineering, with thunder rumbling from his body, being a Qi Cultivator who also cultivated Martial Arts, possessing a robust physique.

After both sides entered the battlefield, without any words, they charged straight at each other, their speed extremely fast, turning into two lightning-like shadows, colliding in mid-air.

Accompanied by an explosive sound, blood-red rain started to fall from the sky. The rest of the West Emperor Palace crowds were stunned for a moment, staring at the battlefield where the white-headed, green-bodied demon still stood, its claws domineering and sharp, holding a piece of flesh. Those sinister eyes were glowing with golden light, as if flames were burning within them.

"How could this happen..." The people of the West Emperor Palace knew very well why the person who just stepped out chose to clash head-on, as his proficiency in Martial Arts was extremely high. Yet, he was torn apart in an instant?

"What a formidable power." Meng Hong’s pupils contracted, he said softly, "I know the cultivator who just battled, possessing strong combat capability, but to think..."

"What kind of demon is this?" Luo Qingyan looked at Li Fan beside her. She also recognized the torn cultivator, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Li Fan’s eyes shimmered with golden light, observing the sky filled with demonic energy. A towering and colossal fierce beast’s phantasmal image appeared in sight. This fearsome beast was massive, white-headed with white fur, its body blue, resembling a demon ape but more hideously savage, its claws like hooks.

"It looks like a gorilla, inherently brutal, white-head, golden eyes. I’m not sure what kind of demon it is." Li Fan said.

"The fierce beast Wuzhiqi." Meng Hong said, "No wonder... it’s actually this rare fierce demon."

"The legendary immeasurably powerful fierce beast Wuzhiqi? Does this demon indeed exist in the West Sea regions?" Luo Qingyan was somewhat surprised. Clearly, this demon was extremely rare.

Li Fan traveled under the mountain after training, and this was the first time he heard of Wuzhiqi. There are countless demons in this world, many of which he did not recognize, and now he could consider it a gain of knowledge.

The Mermaid merely sneered; these humans probably still didn’t know that at this time, Wuzhiqi entering the battle was a disciple under the command of Master Nine Infant.
