Chapter 911: Assassinating the Evil Demon

Xiao Chen could see that when the Extreme Thunder Sword had stabbed into the evil Demon’s translucent chest, it happened to pierce through the evil Demon’s Heavenly Soul Pearl and into the throne, connecting with the seal in there and firmly trapping the evil Demon to the throne.

He could also see nine fine strands of green light around the Heavenly Soul Pearl.

Each strand of green light wrapped around the Heavenly Soul Pearl contained vast energy. When a light surged from the Heavenly Soul Pearl, the nine strands of light quickly suppressed it back inside.

When Xiao Chen saw all this clearly, he came to a realization. He now understood why this golden evil Demon hated the Merfolk Race Martial Emperors so much.

The thing trapping the golden evil Demon was not the Extreme Thunder Sword but the nine strands of light that the Merfolk Race Martial Emperors left behind.

Not only did these strands of light suppress the golden evil Demon’s strength, but they were also nine ticking bombs left behind in its body, able to take its life at any moment.

When Yao Yan saw that the evil Demon had regressed to its black state, a jade pearl appeared in her hand. Then she called out loudly, “Young Master Xiao, please withdraw. Leave the rest to me!”

Xiao Chen’s Origin Flame was nearly spent. At Yao Yan’s request, he quickly let go to retreat.

“You want to go? Die first!”

Just as Xiao Chen let go, the angered evil Demon stabbed his heart with its five knife-like fingers, piercing through the organ. A huge force blasted out and sent him flying back.

Of all the things, Xiao Chen coincidentally landed at Lang Taotian’s feet.

When Princess Yao Yan saw this scene, she felt very anxious. However, at this critical moment, she could not afford to split her attention. She quickly formed hand seals, and the nine strands of light in the evil Demon’s body blazed, as resplendent as the stars.

After she completed the hand seals, she thrust the jade pearl in her hands forward. When the jade pearl touched the evil Demon’s body, the nine strands of light exploded.

Instantly a red light flared in the entire great hall. A shock wave spread out, propagating for a long time.

When the red light finally dissipated, the evil Demon sitting on the throne already disappeared, thoroughly dead.

Yao Yan, who was wearing the Thorn Sovereign Circlet, revealed an expression of joy. However, when she looked around, she suddenly discovered that Xiao Chen was missing, so her face could not help but fall.

When the Northern Sea Alliance’s Yan Chihai and the couple from Spirit Returning Island verified the evil Demon’s death, they also revealed expressions of joy. Jade pendants appeared in their hands at the same time, and they shattered the pendants with a ‘crunch.’

Qi Wuxue and Long Fei exchanged glances as they shattered their jade pendants as well.

In various areas of the void located in the skies above the Chaotic Demonic Sea, jade pendants floating beside the Northern Sea Alliance’s Alliance Leader, Spirit Returning Island’s Island Lord, the Profound Water Sect’s Sect Master, the Muddy Sky Gate’s Sect Master, and the White Bone Sovereign’s junior brother all shattered at the same time.

These Martial Emperors all opened their eyes at the same time. With a casual swipe of their hands, they tore open space and appeared above the Chaotic Demonic Sea.

When they lifted their palms and sliced at the sea, the vast sea split into many pieces like a piece of tofu being cut.

The sea vanished, exposing the outer seal of the Sea Monarch Palace ten kilometers down to the eyes of the various Martial Emperors.

Working together, these Martial Emperors flipped the sea just by raising their hands.

Outside the great hall, Lang Taotian casually flung Xiao Chen to the ground. Earlier, when Xiao Chen landed by his feet, he had been overjoyed and immediately carried him out.

After Lang Taotian crushed the jade pendant in his hand, he looked at the bleeding Xiao Chen and laughed carefreely. Then, he ruthlessly kicked him into the air.

“Hahaha! Xiao Chen, you are really an idiot. You stupidly worked so hard, but you did not know that after killing the evil Demon’s main body, you would be the first to die!”

“Bang!”

Lang Taotian trampled on Xiao Chen’s chest, pushing his weight down heavily on him.

He revealed a cruel smile as he said coldly, “Your heart was pierced and your heart ruptured. Even if you have a King Grade Medicinal Pill, you will find it hard to escape death. However, I know that your physical body is very strong, and you will not die so quickly.”

Lang Taotian’s smile would cause one to tremble in fear. As he stepped on Xiao Chen’s bleeding chest and ground his foot on it, he laughed, “Haha! Is this very painful? Before you die, you have to suffer from such torture? What White Robed King, Azure Emperor’s descendant? In the end, you still ended up under my feet.”

Xiao Chen looked coldly at Lang Taotian without showing any expression. He silently circulated the Firmament Body Tempering Art and repaired his damaged heart.

The final strike before the evil Demon’s death pierced through Xiao Chen’s heart, which nearly got cut in half. Most other people would have died on the spot.

If not for Xiao Chen’s Rank 3 Sage Body, his lifeforce being equal to that of a quasi-Emperor, even if he had a method to fix his heart, he would not have had an opportunity to execute it.

However, the situation now was not good, either. With Lang Taotian occasionally kicking him, Xiao Chen could not fix his heart smoothly.

Earlier, Xiao Chen had kicked Lang Taotian into a sorry state. Now, while smiling, Lang Taotian did not use his hands, only his legs to kick Xiao Chen around. Then, he moved forward to stomp on Xiao Chen’s chest.

It was as if Lang Taotian could wash away his earlier shame by doing this. However, the dullest thing was that Xiao Chen only looked at him coldly, not saying anything from start to end.

The expected scene of Xiao Chen begging for mercy did not appear. After several repetitions, Lang Taotian even got the impression that Xiao Chen was showing disdain in his eyes.

“Damn it. You are a dying man, and yet you are so stubborn.”

Lang Taotian drew his sword and placed its tip on Xiao Chen’s chest. He smiled and said, “White Robed King, do you have any last words? I, Lang Taotian, do not mind conveying them for you.”

No matter what, this was the famous descendant of the Azure Emperor. If Xiao Chen died at his hands, in the future, the name Lang Taotian would spread everywhere, leaving his mark in history.

“You better keep the last words for yourself!”

Xiao Chen, who had been silent all the while, suddenly erupted with an upward kick, creating a cool breeze. A saber light flickered, and the tips of his toes hit the unguarded Lang Taotian’s arm.

“Ka ca!”

The saber light was incomparably sharp. Xiao Chen’s kick chopped off Lang Taotian’s hand, which was holding the sword, at the wrist.

“My hand!”

Earlier, Xiao Chen was barely breathing and unable to put up any resistance. Suddenly, he burst out with such strong combat prowess that stunned Lang Taotian silly.

Blood fountained out from Lang Taotian’s wrist as waves of pain inundated him.

“The heart is the root of the physical body, the source of life. Your heart is in pieces. You don’t have any medicine that can treat it. How can it recover so fast?”

Xiao Chen ignored Lang Taotian. He stood up and caught the falling sword. Then, he swung it. A purple light flickered on the sword as it headed for Lang Taotian’s neck at the speed of lightning.

At the crucial moment, Lang Taotian exhibited outstanding strength, his figure flashing and dodging this sword strike. He was so frightened that his soul almost scattered. He hated that he could not grow another leg to flee faster, wanting to leave the Sea Monarch Palace speedily.

Once Lang Taotian exited the Sea Monarch Palace, someone would save him.

Xiao Chen casually tossed the sword aside and closed his eyes to inspect his heart. With the Firmament Body Tempering Art, his shattered heart had already merged back together. Beating like the heart of some ferocious ancient beast, it gave off a strong lifeforce.

“Fortunately, I cultivated the Firmament Body Tempering Art to Consummation before coming here. My internal organs are as vibrant as those of an ancient ferocious beast. Otherwise, even if I activated the Supreme Sky Emperor’s will clone, things would still have ended in disaster.”

Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the fleeing Lang Taotian. He entered deep thought. He absolutely could not let this person leave the Sea Monarch Palace. If things were as he expected, the powerful major characters attracted by the Sea Monarch Palace should have arrived by now.

At this moment, given Xiao Chen’s intelligence, how could he not deduce the course of events?

The Merfolk Race did indeed have nine dead Martial Emperors. However, the evil Demon’s main body had not killed them. They had died willingly and deposited the essence of their strength in the evil Demon’s body.

What these Martial Emperors sought was not the sealing of the evil Demon but an opportunity to kill the evil Demon, so they could excise the danger within the Sea Monarch Palace and allow Yao Yan to refine the entire Sea Monarch Palace successfully.

This opportunity came from Xiao Chen’s strong Purple Thunder True Fire, which could repeatedly lower the strength of the evil Demon’s main body.

When the nine green lights exploded, this sealed evil Demon that the Azure Emperor could not kill could be thoroughly eliminated.

Of course, this was not to say that the Azure Emperor could not compare to these nine people. Only, back then, the Azure Emperor did not have the Purple Thunder True Fire and did not have such an opportunity like Xiao Chen did.

Xiao Chen had only one question: where did Yao Yan get her confidence that let her place these Martial Emperors in the Sea Monarch Palace like pieces on a chessboard? Even if she managed to obtain the Emperor Grade Secret Treasures that the Sea Monarch left behind, given her cultivation, she would not be able to unleash their full might.

The Sea Monarch Palace had been the traveling palace of a powerful Sovereign Martial Emperor.

The Sea Monarch had fought with the Azure Emperor thrice before the Azure Emperor managed to defeat this overlord in the final battle.

Naturally, the Merfolk were not the only ones with their eye on the traveling palace that the Sea Monarch left behind. Actually, Xiao Chen had long expected that the news of the Sea Monarch Palace would definitely attract some powerful people.
