Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 70, Instant Kill of the Golden Demon Sculpture

Chapter 70: Chapter 70, Instant Kill of the Golden Demon Sculpture

The next day, after having breakfast, Chu Ming set off from his small courtyard. By the time he arrived at the sect’s main gate, Red Moon and the others were already waiting there.

"Brother Chu!"

Upon seeing Chu Ming’s arrival, the four immediately greeted him respectfully. They were all dressed in the Inner Sect disciples’ attire of the Cyan Yang Sect, which helped avoid unnecessary trouble when outside.

"Hmm!"

Chu Ming nodded. Instead of descending the mountain immediately, they first headed to the stables to rent five Blue Star Horses. The closest town to Cyan Yang Sect was a thousand miles away, and even if they didn’t rest, it would take them two days to reach it without horses.

Two days was enough for them to earn a considerable amount of Contribution Points.

Riding their horses, they raced along the official road, their white robes fluttering, exuding an aura of carefree ease. Due to the Beast Tide, even mountain bandits and horse thieves had disappeared, and they faced no obstacles on their journey.

"The closest towns to us are Zhao Family Town, Li Family Town, and Huang Family Town. Yesterday, Zhao Family Town was attacked by demon beasts, but I heard Brother Huang Tao is there! Only Li Family Town and Huang Family Town remain."

Riding his horse, Sun Ping reported to Chu Ming. He knew his abilities were not strong enough to be helpful in the Beast Tide, so he could only collect information, which he had gathered yesterday.

"We’ll go to Li Family Town!"

Chu Ming said calmly. It was now spring, the time of year when demon beasts were rampant, especially this year with the widespread Beast Tide, affecting nearly all of the Great Yan Kingdom. Even neighboring smaller countries had recently reported being caught in the turmoil caused by demon beasts.

As for Huang Tao being in Zhao Family Town, he had likely just set off, since it had been ten days. Those who set out first were surely defending various cities and towns against the Beast Tide. Although the towns were relatively safer, the demon beasts were weaker, resulting in fewer Contribution Points.

Disciples who could enter the top ten of the Cyan Yang List were prideful individuals, unlikely to stay in towns. As for villages, they probably no longer existed, with ordinary people either dead due to the Beast Tide or merged into various towns.

Chu Ming planned to stay around the area for a few days before heading closer to the cities, where he could earn a large amount of Contribution Points.

The Blue Star Horses sped along the way, and within half a day, Chu Ming and the others saw the outline of Li Family Town. However, the sky above Li Family Town faintly shimmered with blood light, and the air was filled with the scent of blood. Clearly, Li Family Town had experienced the Beast Tide and lost many lives.

Boom Boom Boom

From afar, Chu Ming and the others could see dense black clouds surrounding Li Family Town, accompanied by loud roars, filled with ferocity — Two-headed Demon Wolves, One-eyed Iron Wolves, Black-scaled Pythons...

Most of these demon beasts were second or third-level, with few fourth-level beasts, the strongest being a Red-eyed Demon Tiger, a fifth-level low-tier beast capable of rivaling True Dao Martial Artists.

Red and black runes coiled around the Red-eyed Demon Tiger, wriggling as if alive. Its lantern-sized eyes were filled with savagery, and a puff of fiery breath from its nostrils evaporated the surrounding air.

In front of the Red-eyed Demon Tiger were Li Lin and a one-eyed man, their robes billowing as they fought. Both were True Dao Realm martial artists. Their presence was the only reason Li Family Town had held out; otherwise, it would have been torn apart long ago.

Li Lin’s weapon was a large blade, and under the enhancement of spiritual power, its blade light sliced the air into fragments, dispersing around him. The fiery aura on it kept the Red-eyed Demon Tiger at bay.

The one-eyed man’s weapon was a pair of gloves. Each punch sent blue crystalline lights dancing, powerful enough to frighten the Red-eyed Demon Tiger into retreating when the blue light flickered.

Their battlefield was stalemated, with blade light and fist shadows clashing, fierce impacts resonating around, shattering nearby demon beasts into a million pieces.

"Let’s charge directly!"

The Silver Light Sword unsheathed, a streak of white light flashing by, instantly slaughtering several demon beasts before them. Chu Ming’s aura was pure, a sharp energy emanating from him, making the surrounding air tremble.

"Alright!"

The others quickly drew their weapons. Chu Ming had not expected to encounter the Beast Tide as soon as they arrived and could only charge forward. These second and third-level demon beasts were not a threat to him.

Swoosh!

A sword light flew from Chu Ming’s sword, like winter snow melting in summer, mixed with sword force, slicing through countless airwaves.

Splurt Splurt Splurt...

The demon beasts within ten meters of Chu Ming were all instantly slain, their corpses piling thick on the ground, some reduced to blood rain by Chu Ming’s sword qi. Even an ordinary fourth-level demon beast could not withstand a single strike, let alone those around him, with just the residual sword force annihilating them.

Chu Ming and his companions were like a sharp knife thrust into the Beast Tide, with Chu Ming as the knife’s tip, effortlessly killing the surrounding demon beasts. The bodies of these beasts would have to wait until the Beast Tide ended to be dealt with.

Boom

A massive shadow descended from the sky, its wings like blades, tearing through the air, darkening the skies, announcing its presence and flying towards Chu Ming. A single flap sent surrounding demon beasts flying.

"Fourth-level top-tier demon beast, Golden Celestial Eagle!"

Facing the incoming sharp claws, Chu Ming’s expression remained calm. His robe fluttered as he waited until the claws were within three meters before striking. Three beams of light shot from his sword, their sharp aura piercing the eyes, sending chills down one’s spine.

"Three Talents Swordsmanship!"

Ding

A sword light struck the Golden Celestial Eagle’s claws, a burst of sparks flaring, shattering its claws.

Splurt Splurt...

The remaining two beams of sword light sliced through the Golden Celestial Eagle’s body, tearing through flesh, its screech abruptly ending, and its massive form crashing down, crushing many demon beasts below.

In one move, the Golden Celestial Eagle was dead!

The four Cyan Yang Sect Inner Sect disciples behind Chu Ming were stunned. The Golden Celestial Eagle was a fourth-level top-tier demon beast, capable of rivaling the late stage of the ninth layer of the Transcendence Realm, yet it couldn’t withstand a single strike from Chu Ming, showcasing his immense power.

"Monstrous!"

This was the shared sentiment of the four, and witnessing Chu Ming’s skill, Red Moon’s eyes gleamed. She was now certain that Chu Ming had the strength to enter the top three of the Cyan Yang List. Though Chu Ming had always been formidable, he had not reached the point of instantly slaying fourth-level top-tier demon beasts before. His rapid progress indicated a significant breakthrough.
