Sole Sword Supremacy-Chapter 552 - 556: Sword Pointed at the Extreme North Wilderness

Chapter 552: Chapter 556: Sword Pointed at the Extreme North Wilderness

Divine Court.

In the entire Extreme North Wilderness, almost all the experts are now gathered in the Divine Court.

Yes, not only the Deserters’ powerhouses but also the experts of the Demon Race have gathered.

There’s no choice, the pressure brought by Qu Lishang is just too immense.

The Extreme North Wilderness is not the Nether Sea. Although the Deserters are not weak, in reality, there aren’t many Saint Realm powerhouses; the High Priest and the Black Mountain Demon King are the only Saints. However, rumors say that more than two Saints fell in the battle of the Nether Sea. Who wouldn’t be afraid?!

"They’re here!"

Suddenly, the void quaked, and from afar, everyone sensed a powerful Sword Intent. Before the person arrived, the overwhelming Sword Intent seemed like it could tear heaven and earth apart, involuntarily instilling a feeling of fear that made one want to kneel.

"Divine Court High Priest, greets Li Shang Sword Venerable!"

Taking a deep breath, the Divine Court High Priest stepped forward, flew into the air to use his own body to block the dreadful Sword Intent, and spoke in a deep voice.

At the same time, a black cloud surged in the sky, seemingly turning the surrounding sky pitch-black.

The next moment, a cold snort echoed from the void.

Instantly, a brilliant sword light slashed into the black cloud, shredding it apart with a single strike, revealing the figure of the Black Mountain Demon King.

This strike came too swiftly; even the Black Mountain Demon King couldn’t react in time. But luckily, Qu Lishang only casually swung the sword, intending not to harm but to force the Black Mountain Demon King to reveal himself. Yet even so, this strike sent a shiver down the Black Mountain Demon King’s spine, almost making him want to flee without a second thought.

Too strong!

Back then, he had been defeated by Qu Lishang, and now, after so many years, Qu Lishang’s strength has not dulled but increased, which is frightening.

Wasn’t it said that Qu Lishang had forsaken the Great Nether Mirror and even abandoned the Li Shang Sword? How is he still this powerful?!

The Black Mountain Demon King now somewhat regrets allying with the Deserters. It might have been better to leave everything here and escape the Extreme North Wilderness; perhaps Qu Lishang wouldn’t hunt him down worldwide.

"I have been gone for over thirty years, and the Deserters and the Demon Race have grown bolder, daring to attack our sect’s mountain gates!"

Dressed in white, Qu Lishang landed from the sky, standing with hands behind his back, speaking disdainfully: "Did you not intend to destroy our sect? You can act now. Kill me; then, not just the Profound Moon Sword Sect, but the entire Northern Domain is yours to roam."

"..."

Although they knew Qu Lishang had come to seek justice, his words still made the Black Mountain Demon King and the Divine Court High Priest’s scalps tingle.

"Qu Lishang, this king indeed is no match for you, but don’t push us too far. The two of us together may not necessarily fear you!"

Though worried inside, the Black Mountain Demon King maintained a tough facade and spoke firmly.

"Alright, since that’s the case, the two of you can come at me together. If you can escape my sword, I’ll let bygones be bygones."

Raising an eyebrow, Qu Lishang waved his hand, instantly gathering a moon-colored long sword in the void, pointing directly at the two of them.

The sword points towards the Extreme North Wilderness!

Too domineering! Qu Lishang didn’t even bother to say what if they could win. Even if fighting one against two, if the opponents could escape from his sword, that would already be remarkable, let alone defeating Qu Lishang... It’s likely that these two wouldn’t dare to entertain such thoughts.

"..."

A burst of frustration lodged in his throat, the Black Mountain Demon King almost choked with anger.

He wanted desperately to scream, "Let’s fight, who’s afraid?!"

But he really didn’t dare!

Not only the Black Mountain Demon King, but even the High Priest at this moment didn’t know how to respond!

Humiliation!

Now, it’s not just them and Qu Lishang, so many Deserters and Demon Race members are watching, and yet, Qu Lishang’s words left them unable to respond, so stifling.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, behind the High Priest, a young man clenched his hand, breaking a spear and thrusting it into the ground, lifting his head, and speaking solemnly: "Li Shang Sword Venerable, your words are wrong. If it comes to fighting, it’s not only the High Priest and Black Mountain Demon King you have to kill but also my millions of Deserters and every Demon Race member in the Extreme North Wilderness!"

Stepping forward, the young man fearlessly approached Qu Lishang, speaking proudly: "We Deserters may be weak, but we are united, unafraid of life and death. Even if corpses pile up by the millions, we will fight fiercely, battling until the last drop of blood is shed!"

"Sons, will you follow me to death?!"

This last sentence, the young man turned and shouted angrily to the Deserters behind him.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

In an instant, countless Deserters roared in unison, their voices echoing across the wilderness!

Qu Lishang’s words just now were not only humiliating to the High Priest and Black Mountain Demon King; these Deserters were also enraged and immediately joined in the furious chorus.

Sword Intent and Li Shang Sword Venerable, they didn’t care. As long as the order is given, even if they have to traverse a mountain of blades and sea of flames, they dare not blink as they charge through!

"Who are you?"

In a split second, Qu Lishang’s gaze fell upon him.

The speaking young man is not old, seemingly not much older than Wang Junze and Luo Qingxuan, and his cultivation is merely Void Shattering, insignificant before Qu Lishang. Yet the momentum and mettle he displayed were seemingly more remarkable than that of the Divine Court High Priest.

"Deserter, Jing Yuan!"

Raising his head, even facing Qu Lishang directly, Jing Yuan’s expression showed no fear as he answered loudly.

Looking at Jing Yuan, a complex glint appeared in Wang Junze’s eyes as well.

In Wang Junze’s mind, the greatest threat from the Deserters had never been the Black Mountain Demon King or the High Priest but this friend, Jing Yuan.

Now Jing Yuan’s counterattack confirmed this point.

Originally, the Deserters’ morale had been completely suppressed by Qu Lishang; whether Qu Lishang chose to fight or force them to submit and compensate, he had already gained the upper hand.

But because of Jing Yuan’s words, the situation was forcefully turned around.

Of course, this doesn’t mean Jing Yuan’s words truly intimidated Qu Lishang,

In terms of strength, Jing Yuan’s own cultivation couldn’t withstand Qu Lishang, maybe a single finger could easily crush him. However, should Jing Yuan be killed, it would utterly provoke the Deserters’ outrage, igniting a never-ending war!

Though Qu Lishang is indeed strong, no matter how formidable, it’s impossible for him to slaughter all Deserter armies alone. Once war begins, it would engulf the entire Northern Domain!

From the moment Jing Yuan stepped forward, he represented not just himself but the will and blood of millions of Deserters!

This is what gave him the courage to face Qu Lishang directly.
