Hoo! The aura on the demon sword quickly dimmed and was firmly grasped in Qin Chen's hand.
This was a dark green long sword, its blade emitting a dark light, extremely demonic. However, its aura was so powerful that it surpassed even the holy-level broken sword owned by the Xiao family of Xiao Dongyan. Qin Chen had a feeling that the level of this sword was at least above the holy level.
What delighted Qin Chen was that during this great calamity of the Demon Tribe, he unexpectedly broke through to a half-saint realm through this demon sword. This was an unexpected joy that Qin Chen had absolutely not anticipated.
After stepping into the half-saint realm, Qin Chen clearly sensed a difference in the world. He could distinctly feel the operation of the heavens, which was a breath of controlling everything.
Previously, Qin Chen, with the help of Lao Yuan, had also possessed the power of a half-saint. But that was merely a forceful breakthrough. Only after Qin Chen broke through to the half-saint realm on his own did he clearly feel the difference between the half-saint realm and the peak Martial Emperor realm.
After entering the half-saint realm, a martial artist can easily mobilize the power of heaven and earth. This heavenly power is much stronger than the power of rules, which is also why half-saint experts can easily kill Martial Emperor experts.
The power origins controlled by the holy realm and the Martial Emperor realm are different; the two are not on the same level.
And at the moment of breaking through to the half-saint, Qin Chen vaguely felt something cold hidden in the heavens to the north, giving him a faint feeling of unease.
"Chaos Demon Nest."
Qin Chen had a feeling that this was likely the aura of the Chaos Demon Nest.
It was the heavens informing him of the danger of the Chaos Demon Nest.
And that place was where Gu Nandu was located.
"Mo Yuanbai, let's go."
Qin Chen glanced at the martial artists below Demon Sword City. That sharp gaze made Leng Xingfeng and the others break into a cold sweat, not daring to meet it directly.
The next moment, Qin Chen had already left with Mo Yuanbai, swiftly heading towards where Gu Nandu was. As for why the Demon Sword Sect wasn't destroyed and what the people of Demon Sword City should do, Qin Chen no longer had the time to care.
Everything was left to fate.
Watching Qin Chen's disappearing figure, Leng Xingfeng and Xu Yan exchanged glances and smiled bitterly.
They naturally knew about the grudges between their sect and Qin Chen, fearing that Qin Chen might kill them in a fit of displeasure.
However, they were overthinking it. With Qin Chen's current status, he wouldn't concern himself with such petty matters. Qin Chen's final glance at them was like looking at ordinary people, without any fluctuation.
"This Demon Sword City isn't safe anymore. Let's go. If another expert from the Demon Tribe arrives, we're done for."
Demon Sword City gradually regained its vitality. Many martial artists who hadn't fallen healed their injuries and limped out of the city.
In the sky, Qin Chen and Mo Yuanbai continued their journey towards Gu Nandu.
Mo Yuanbai was naturally thrilled by Qin Chen's breakthrough, feeling emotional for a long time.
However, Qin Chen focused his attention on the demon sword.
After engraving a soul mark on the demon sword, although it couldn't resist Qin Chen's dominance, it still struggled constantly, seemingly extremely unwilling to be subdued by Qin Chen.
"It seems you are not willing to give up."
Qin Chen's gaze turned cold. This demon sword had an extraordinary origin and was of a terrifying level. Even with Qin Chen's current cultivation, he couldn't completely subdue it. But it was tolerable under normal circumstances. However, if it acted up during a battle, it would undoubtedly cause him some damage.
"I, the Young Master, want to see how long you can resist."
With a flicker of his figure, Qin Chen appeared inside the Heaven and Earth Creation Jade Plate.
Buzz! As soon as Qin Chen appeared, a terrifying aura erupted from the mysterious rust sword, appearing before the demon sword. A dreadful pressure suddenly came down upon the demon sword.
