Chapter 994 - 764: Fierce and Stalemated Battle (Part 2)

Chapter 994: Chapter 764: Fierce and Stalemated Battle (Part 2)

As soon as the words fell, the Heavenly Demon prepared to press down with this palm.

And as the giant hand in the sky descended towards the city below, it became faster and faster.

The Heavenly Demon was confident that as long as this palm landed, the city would turn into scorched earth.

And he could thoroughly enjoy the fear and despair before death on these people’s faces.

But just as this giant palm was about to fall, a point of light suddenly appeared in the distance, rapidly enlarging into a fierce beam of sword energy that came slicing through the sky.

This sword energy was terrifying to the extreme, like sunlight covering the sky, so dazzling that one couldn’t open their eyes.

And when this sword energy landed on the giant palm, it seemed invincible, instantly turning the gigantic hand into ashes.

Yet the sword energy didn’t lose momentum, piercing straight into the Heavenly Demon’s chest.

It was so fast that even the Heavenly Demon at the Celestial Human Realm couldn’t resist at all.

He couldn’t even manage to dodge.

And in the moment the sword energy entered his body, he saw that figure and couldn’t help widening his eyes.

"Qin An? I didn’t expect you... you actually dare come to aid?"

He hadn’t expected it, but now it seemed everything was already helpless.

The sword energy at his chest took root and sprouted, spreading in all directions.

The Heavenly Demon knew he was beyond saving.

In a flash, he spewed a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, Qin An, holding a long sword, was already standing atop the city wall, looking indifferently at the Heavenly Demon as if he were watching an ant jump around in front of him.

The Heavenly Demon sensed that look and spat a mouthful of blood, his face pale as he said, "So what? You saved this city, but can you save one after another?"

"The Daqian Kingdom is so vast, even if you are in the No-Self Realm, it takes time to move around, right? By then, more cities will have been destroyed, and once they are wiped out to a certain extent, this world will wither completely."

"And once this world withers, our mission will be complete, and you won’t be able to find us."

He wasn’t afraid of death because, under their command, there were resurrective Heavenly Demons from another world.

Although resurrection required a huge price, they had long agreed among themselves that no matter the cost, they needed to be resurrected to destroy other worlds.

So he didn’t care at all.

What concerned him more was whether Qin An’s face would show a look of despair upon hearing his words.

But as he looked carefully, he found no despair on Qin An’s face; instead, his expression was as calm as a lake.

"Aren’t you afraid at all?"

A look of confusion appeared in the Heavenly Demon’s eyes; he couldn’t understand why, despite speaking so plainly, Qin An didn’t show the expression he wanted to see.

After these words fell, Qin An’s expression remained calm, with a hint of mockery.

"Do you know? Even though Celestial Human Realm cultivators from those broken worlds are rare, there are still some in number. Once scattered, they can guard most cities."

"Of course, they can’t hold out for long, but at least better than this city now. And those without Celestial Human Realm cultivators’ protection are my and Emperor Xuanwu’s focus." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Like now, the two of us should be able to make it in time."

After he said this, the Heavenly Demon understood the significance.

"You’re saying Emperor Xuanwu of this world also broke through to the No-Self Realm?"

Qin An smiled slightly: "Why not? If you’re going to destroy us, we must burn our boats."

"Are you disappointed not to witness my despair? On the contrary, I seem to see a tinge of despair in your eyes."

The Heavenly Demon gritted his teeth, sneering: "Fine, fine, fine! The outcome is not yet decided; everything is unknown. You certainly have your skills and means, but I will personally watch you die."

He said nothing more, as the opposition was absolute, leaving no chance of sparing each other, so more words were useless.

Qin An didn’t waste words either, raising a palm to strike the Heavenly Demon’s crown.

With the strength of the No-Self Realm confronting this Celestial Human Realm Heavenly Demon, it was a total crush.

The Heavenly Demon screamed miserably and then collapsed to the ground, turning into a pile of ashes.

And the cultivators of the city let out a sigh of relief as soon as Qin An arrived.

At this moment, seeing the Heavenly Demon dead, they couldn’t help but cheer.

None of them had fought a Heavenly Demon before, not even knowing what one looked like, but today they witnessed a Heavenly Demon’s death with their own eyes, serving as a mighty dose of courage for them.

So their cheer at this moment was entirely normal.

Qin An didn’t mind them but advised, "Strive to recover your energy consumption. In case another Heavenly Demon comes, you can also rely on the Dragon Vein’s power for defense. Be careful and avoid undue trouble."

The leading cultivator quickly clasped his hands: "We obey, rest assured, my lord. Unless they walk over our corpses, they will never get past us."

Without saying much, Qin An nodded in agreement and immediately departed.

He needed to go elsewhere to support other cities.

The Daqian Kingdom was massive, and even if he and Emperor Xuanwu worked tirelessly, it would likely take quite a bit of time.

And as he rushed, battles were occurring in various places.

...

In some cities, cultivators from broken worlds were helping, managing to hold on temporarily; in others, without those cultivators’ assistance, resistance was extremely challenging.

Emperor Xuanwu, like Qin An, was shuttling through different places.

However, during his travels, he occasionally pulled out a jade stone to receive messages.

The messages contained the recent movements of the Heavenly Demons and the real-time battle situations, transmitted by the traitor Plague Emperor among the Heavenly Demons.

Though Plague Emperor feigned destroying these worlds, it was all pretentious.

She was well aware of whose side she was on and then relayed the various information about the Heavenly Demons. With this information, Emperor Xuanwu and Qin An could both comprehend the Heavenly Demons’ movements.

At this moment, several hours had passed since the battle began.

With the efforts of Qin An and Emperor Xuanwu, many Heavenly Demons had died, though they too suffered losses.

Many cities had already been destroyed by Heavenly Demons.

Even with their tireless running as No-Self Realm cultivators, they couldn’t achieve complete protection.

Emperor Xuanwu knew battles involved deaths, which was all normal, but the sharply falling numbers made him slightly uneasy.

At this moment, having just defeated a Heavenly Demon, he prepared to fly towards another location.

But right then, the jade stone lit up, and the Plague Emperor’s message came through.

"I know where the two No-Self Realm Heavenly Demons are. They’re heading towards your location because it seems a Heavenly Demon has marked you with a Secret Technique, wanting to kill you and then destroy this world."

The Plague Emperor’s message was quick.

And when Emperor Xuanwu heard this, his heart trembled slightly, his face darkening immediately.

He knew the opponents were attempting a decapitation strike, not targeting Qin An, but him first.

If he were killed, they would lose a No-Self Realm cultivator, causing a massive impact on the entire battle situation.

Emperor Xuanwu took a deep breath: "Good, come on then. Since you want to kill me, I’ll actually use your plan against you and slay you two first."

With that thought, Emperor Xuanwu activated the jade stone and used it to contact Qin An.

"Qin An, hurry and come to me; together, we will slay those two No-Self Realm Heavenly Demons."
