Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 429: Chapter 427 Nangong Yu

Chapter 429: Chapter 427 Nangong Yu

They had slain over a thousand Demon Beasts, yet countless more fearlessly rushed toward them from every direction.

Even more alarming, the ground behind them trembled mightily, as if an earthquake was imminent. At a glance, one could see innumerable huge shadows racing toward this place.

“Star Moon Slash!”

At that moment, above the void, Senior Brother Zhou suddenly bellowed.

He had already let go of the woman, and on her back, she possessed a pair of wings as well, capable of allowing her to fly.

However, maintaining these wings clearly consumed a great deal of Dragon Power, as one could see that the woman occasionally took out a Pill and swallowed it, seemingly replenishing her Dragon Power.

Following Senior Brother Zhou’s roar, he drew his sword.

It was a Sword Drawing Technique, and with its initiation, the surrounding void immediately darkened, as if night were about to fall.

Along with the darkness, countless Star Points appeared within ten meters of Senior Brother Zhou and, among those Star Points, a bright moon emerged.

This moon, although no larger than the palm of a hand, shone incredibly brightly. Upon its appearance, it followed Senior Brother Zhou’s sweeping slash and, with a booming sound, charged into the pursuing horde of Demon Beasts behind them.

“This…”

When Su Han witnessed this scene, he was utterly astonished.

His gaze was firmly fixed on that bright moon and the innumerable Star Points around it.

Especially those Star Points, which were all too familiar, because they could only be condensed under the power of his Starry Ultimate Defense Sword!

“It really is him…”

Su Han took a deep breath, “That old man, could he also have died? In the fifty thousand years before my downfall, he had already disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again. Could it be that he came to the Dragon Martial Continent? But what would he come here for? How could the Heart of the World of the Dragon Martial Continent withstand his might?”

“But if not him, why is there the Star Moon Slash? It was clearly a fusion of his own Bright Moon Slash and the insight he gained from the Starry Ultimate Defense Sword during our thirty-thousandth sparring session! Moreover, even the name has not changed in the slightest. If this isn’t inheriting his legacy, I won’t believe it!”

Su Han simply believed it was that old man’s legacy, but had never considered that the latter would personally descend upon the Dragon Martial Continent.

Because the Heart of the World of the Dragon Martial Continent, an Abandoned Planet, could in no way endure the pressure of that old man’s might.

“If it really is him, given his strength, the legacy he left behind must be earth-shattering. Not to mention on a mere Lower-Class Abandoned Planet, even if taken to a High-Grade Planet, it would be sufficient to elevate a Sect to the peak of power.”

At last, Su Han understood why the One Slash Palace gave him such a familiar sensation, and finally realized why the One Slash Palace went from being a Ninth-Rate Sect to a Super Sect in just seventy short years.

“If it truly is a legacy, then it was you who chose someone from the One Slash Palace. In a way… that makes them a descendant of my old friend,” Su Han thought to himself.

However, he did not take action immediately, standing calmly at a distance to observe.

“Boom!”

A thunderous explosion came from the midst of the Demon Beast horde, and numerous chunks of bodies burst forth, accompanied by an overwhelming stench of blood.

Underneath the Star Moon Slash, countless stars exploded and ultimately, the bright moon collapsed, transforming into a world-ending black radiance that almost completely swept away the several hundred Demon Beasts at the very front.

These Demon Beasts, all under the command of the Giant Ferocious Beast, had pursued relentlessly.

Their Cultivation Bases were relatively strong, mostly Fourth Order, which is the Dragon Pill Realm. Although not at the Peak of Fourth Order, dozens were at the Later Stage of Fourth Order, and in combat would not be inferior to a human at the Peak of the Dragon Pill Realm.

And Senior Brother Zhou was at the Peak of the Dragon Pill Realm. If it were an ordinary cultivator, facing even one would be quite a struggle, let alone decimating hundreds with a single slash.

“Roar!”

His slash deeply enraged the Demon Beasts, as a multitude of figures charged from all directions. Standing on the ground, they gazed up at Senior Brother Zhou, murderous intent and fierce malevolence radiating from their eyes.

Senior Brother Zhou inwardly sighed in relief—at least these Demon Beasts could not fly.

“Senior Brother Zhou, be careful!”

“`

At that moment, the woman’s voice suddenly came through.

Senior Brother Zhou’s complexion changed, and his heart pounded furiously, feeling an overwhelming sense of crisis exploding within.

He abruptly looked up, and immediately saw a mass of dark clouds rolling towards them from the distance.

“Qingming Beast!”

The instant he saw the clouds, Senior Brother Zhou immediately thought of the ancient texts, which described the Qingming Beast.

The Qingming Beast, fond of human flesh, lived in groups and attacked as such.

A simple description, yet it turned Senior Brother Zhou’s face ashen.

Because the Qingming Beast was capable of flight.

He had only seen the introduction and illustrations of the Qingming Beast in ancient texts, and now, for the first time, he was witnessing them in person.

Never could he have imagined that ‘living in groups’ as recorded in the ancient texts could mean so many!

Each Qingming Beast, spreading its wings, was thirty zhang long, and at this moment, nearly ten thousand Qingming Beasts were approaching from the distance!

The countless enormous figures almost filled the entire sky, their flight resembling a swath of dark cloud sweeping across the void.

“Young Palace, run!”

Senior Brother Zhou’s expression drastically changed, his figure flashed next to the woman, grabbing her and hurling her towards the distance.

Meanwhile, he used the recoil to charge straight at the Qingming Beasts.

“Senior Brother Zhou, you…”

The woman’s pretty face turned pale, she hesitated slightly, then turned back and headed towards Senior Brother Zhou.

“What are you doing!”

Senior Brother Zhou suddenly turned his head, his teeth clenched as he said, “Nangong Yu, I told you to run!”

“I can’t stand by and watch Senior Brother Zhou die. That’s not the way of One Slash Palace.” The woman’s voice was filled with resolve.

Her name was Nangong Yu.

“If you don’t leave, we both will die. Why do you have to do this?!” For a moment, relief flickered across Senior Brother Zhou’s face, but soon urgency replaced that relief.

“I know that if I stay, I will surely die; but if I leave, I would be troubled for life,” Nangong Yu said with unwavering determination.

“You…”

Senior Brother Zhou wanted to say more, but with the Qingming Beasts almost upon them, he gave Nangong Yu a fierce look, saying no more.

The next moment, the Qingming Beasts arrived, blanketing the sky.

Opening their mouths, green thunderbolts sparkled from the Light Pillars, bursting forth.

Almost ten thousand Qingming Beasts simultaneously unleashed Green Thunder, and a terrifying Thunder Curtain immediately appeared overhead Senior Brother Zhou and Nangong Yu.

This Thunder Curtain pressed down on the two of them, causing Nangong Yu to turn deathly pale, her heart pounding as well.

“Whoosh!”

Nangong Yu flipped her hand, producing a Jade Slip.

Her fair fingers touched the Jade Slip, and it immediately cracked.

Yet, with this crack came an overwhelming pressure!
