Chapter 1248 Ji Yuan vs. the Demoness Empress (2)
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji did not have the time to ponder further as their profound arts began to clash against each other.
Where she was hovering and the ground where Ji Yuan was standing, the empty space between them exploded with the red crimson profound energies of her Crimson Obliterating Fire Spears and the blue profound sword energies of Ji Yuan's Harker of the Million Swords.
When their profound energies had exploded and died down moments later, neither of them had gained an advantage over the other.
Ji Yuan was astonished that the explosion of her red spear could cover such a wide area and could even dissipate dozens of his profound swords with a single explosion.
Or rather, the explosions of her red spear had lingered and continued to dissipate his profound sword energies.
He thought: She is truly a strong cultivator. She isn't lying when she says that this is a divine profound art.
But he had also quickly gauged her strength and know that he could easily win with his One Dividing Sword but in order to use this move, he had to increase his profound strength to that of a 8th realm cultivation at the very least.
That would blow his cover for sure.
Also, he did not want to kill someone that did not commit evil before him and he had only viewed this as a playful duel.
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji was astonished that even her most powerful divine art the Crimson Obliterating Fire Spears was unable to even touch this Nameless Sword Saint Ji Yuan and she knows now that her opponent was really strong.
Just as she was still pondering over her next move, Ji Yuan had suddenly flashed up to the heavens and chuckled. "Hahaha… thank you for returning the hostage to us. Farewell!"
Ji Yuan then flashed to Shui Xisi and Ling Shan before he grabbed them to fly off in another direction.
However, the Demoness Empress An Xuanji did not stop him and she was in fact looking a little relieved; it was because she was almost at her wits' end on how to deal with this Nameless Sword Saint Ji Yuan and she was thinking if she ought to swallow the Dragonfest Blood Profound Pill to increase her cultivation strength further.
When Ji Yuan had flown away, her six elders had quickly gathered to her side and asked her. "Your Demoness Empress, shall we pursue them?"
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji shook her head with a soft sigh, "Do you really think that the six of you are able to kill him? Don't forget that even the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa had died in his hands."
Her answer startled the six desolate cultivators.
The Demonic Great Saint On-Wa was actually an extremely powerful cultivator. Even if he could not defeat his opponent, he could always make his escape in many ways. After all, he had gone through countless number of battles in his life and was a veteran.
However, they did not know that when Ji Yuan had killed the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa, he had displayed his cultivation strength to the 9th realm.
In front of a 9th realm half-immortal cultivator like Ji Yuan, he was merely an ant.
Elder Ma Qianhuo asked her with an angry look, "Are we going to let the Holy Maiden Ling Shan returns to her Ivy league Sect just like that? She killed the late Demon Emperor, your father!"
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji clenched her fists tightly, "She is a merely concubine of my father and yet she dared to kill him. Of course, I won't forget about this feud so easily."
Then she turned to her six elders to say commandingly, "At least, we know where they will be going. Gather all the powerful cultivators of the Desolate Underworld, we are going to raid the Ivy League Sect to avenge my father."
"Elder Ma Qianhuo, I am going into our holy sect's forbidden ground to retrieve the Million Disapora Lotus." She then turned to Elder Ma Qianhuo to say solemnly.
Elder Ma Qianhuo was shocked, "This… are you sure? This is a half-step true divinity profound treasure and it can even kill a 9th realm immortal. Are you sure that you want to use this? What if the Divine Messenger of the Nine Abyss Realms is to come again? This is our only weapon against the Nine Abyss Realms!"
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji sighed softly, "I have no other choice. Have you ever seen such a strong cultivator as this Nameless Sword Saint Ji Yuan before? Did you see how well compose the maiden that was behind him was? They are both not ordinary cultivators. I think, they are…"
"You mean that they are actually from the Nine Abyss Realms?" Elder Ma Qianhuo could not resist an interruption as he gasped out.
Even the other 5 elders were looking shock.
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji slowly nodded, "The life tokens of our 30 elders, including the Demonic Great Saint On-
Wa were all destroyed at almost the same time. This showed the fact that their killer must be a formidable cultivator. If the killer isn't from the Nine Abyss Realms, then I am really surprised."
Elder Ma Qianhuo slowly nodded, "Even though I don't like this Demonic Great Saint On-Wa that much since he is a vile person even by our standards but I am still surprised by his demise. This may not be a bad news for us as you are now able to sway a stronger position in the Desolate Venom Sect. Previously the Demonic Great Saint On-Wa and the elders that were supporting him had refused to give you permission to retrieve the Million Disapora Lotus to fight the messenger of the Nine Abyss Realms. Now it seems that no one will be able to oppose you for now."
Elder Fa Lungong said all of a sudden, "But if he is really from the Nine Abyss Realms, do you think that it is wise for us to gather the Desolate Alliance to kill him? Won't we be courting our own deaths?"
The Demoness Empress An Xuanji was startled as she did not think about this part but she quickly said, "Well, he didn't exactly say that he is from the Nine Abyss Realms, right? Also, I can't allow my late father's death to go unavenged. Moreover, I will have the Million Disapora Lotus with me so why should I fear him?"
Then she was smiling, "Also, if I can kill him with the Million Diaspora Lotus, I can also obtain his true divinity sword for myself. An immortal weapon will be of great help to my future cultivation and this is what I will need."
Actually as she said this, there was a secret wish to see this Nameless Sword Saint Ji Yuan again; she did not want to tell it to her elders as there was something that was with this Ji Yuan that had caused her heart to pound when she saw him for the first time. She had to admit that he was really the most beautiful man that she had ever seen.
