Both of their faces turned a little pale.
The Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor revealed a hint of admiration on his face and said, “The defense I set up earlier is equivalent to the defense of an early-stage Martial Emperor at the eighth level. This means that the two of you already possess the strength to injure an early-stage eighth-level Martial Emperor. It’s just a pity that you’re still a bit lacking. If you could break through the full ten layers of protection, it would mean your destructive power could truly injure an early-stage eighth-level Martial Emperor.”
“So powerful?”
“That’s just too strong.”
“Leng Xingfeng and Xu Yan should have just broken through to the late seventh level not long ago, yet they already have the power to injure an early-stage Martial Emperor at the eighth level?”
“Incredible!”
The hall buzzed with vibrations and continuous roars, with many elders showing expressions of shock.
With a cultivation level of late seventh stage, being able to injure an early eighth-level Martial Emperor, the world’s prodigies are indeed extraordinarily powerful.
“However, you two shouldn't be too happy just yet. This only indicates that you have the strength to injure an eighth-level Martial Emperor. The true Martial Emperors, who control the mysteries of space, would not stand there and allow you to injure them so easily. If a fight truly breaks out, your opponent could kill you like slaughtering chickens,” the Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor reminded again.
“Disciple takes note,” Leng Xingfeng and Xu Yan hurriedly bowed.
“What a pity!” The Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor exuded an extremely terrifying killing intent, and two beams of sword light surged in his eyes. “It’s a pity that this time, my Demon Sword Sect should have had four talented disciples, but now, only two are left.”
“This enmity must be avenged!”
Crack!
Under the overwhelming killing intent, the ceiling of the Demon Sword Sect’s palace was directly torn apart by invisible sword energy, and the bluestone slabs beneath their feet cracked like a spider web, shattering layer by layer.
The Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor seemed to be in the midst of a terrifying sword energy storm, and no one could approach.
“Xufeng Sword Emperor,” he said.
“Subordinate is here.”
A tall, thin old man in a black robe stepped out behind the Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor, standing proudly like a lone sword, his mere presence exuding a chilling sharpness.
This person was the Grand Elder of the Demon Sword Sect, an early eighth-level Martial Emperor, Xufeng Martial Emperor!
“Xufeng, you need to tidy up quickly and leave with Qin Chen’s group. Then midway…” The Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor wiped his neck with his hand, his killing intent boiling.
“Master, this… isn’t appropriate, right?” Yan Shijiu was suddenly shocked. Did Master actually intend to secretly kill Qin Chen and the others?
The Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor sneered, “What’s inappropriate?”
Yan Shijiu quickly said, “Master, that You Qianxue has already joined the Law Enforcement Hall. If we kill them, won’t that be against the Law Enforcement Hall? If they blame us, our Demon Sword Sect could face great disaster!”
“How would the Law Enforcement Hall find out that it was us who acted?” The Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor coldly laughed, narrowing his eyes and saying, “Xufeng certainly cannot act within my Demon Sword City. Aren’t they from the Alchemy Pavilion of the Northern Heaven Domain? If they want to go to the Alchemy Pavilion, they must pass through the Tianluo Dynasty. If Xufeng strikes within the territory of the Tianluo Dynasty, kills them, and leaves promptly, who would know that the assassin came from our Demon Sword Sect?”
“This…”
Yan Shijiu was momentarily stunned.
The Wind and Cloud Sword Emperor’s method was indeed feasible. As long as they left the Demon Sword City and acted within another power’s territory, who could tell who had killed them?
