<h4>Chapter 1123 - Crimson Moon, Bashful Beauty</h4>
Two dayster, the radiating silver moonlight lit up the Qiu n’s residence. However, no one was in the mood to admire the moon. Everyone, including Patriarch Qiu, had a face full of anxiety and solemnity.
Today was the appointed time with Thunderp Sword Demon. Since the Qiu n didn’t prepare the Divine Astral Pellets that Thunderp Sword Demon had requested, they needed to prepare for a massacre.
Although Patriarch Qiu wasposed, his eyes shed with ferocity. He was determined to make Thunderp Sword Demon pay if he dared to show up.
Right at this moment, a burst ofughter sounded out that broke the silence in the hall, “Hahaha! Qiu n, did you prepare the Divine Astral Pellets that I asked for?”
Theughter was filled with arrogance, which made many people fearful. “He’s here!”
Thunderp Sword Demon was a brutal demonic cultivator that openly killed the core disciples of the four major sects. Furthermore, he was in the Gxy Stage, and not many people could face him aside from some core disciples from the four major sects. There were even some rumors that he had even killed Astral Stage geniuses.
“Let’s go!” Patriarch Qiu took the lead without any change on his face. When the group came out of the hall, they could see a ck figure standing on the roof up ahead. He was donned in ck clothes, and he looked a lot younger than everyone had imagined. Additionally, he was enveloped with a baleful aura that made his handsome face look devilish.
There were rumors that he was the disciple of a powerful sect in Ancient Barren Domain with terrifying strength. However, he was expelled from the sect and forced to be a wandering cultivator. So if he didn’t kill for resources, he wouldn’t be able to make any progress in his cultivation. So as time passed, he naturally became a demonic cultivator.
“That’s Thunderp Sword Demon?” Lin Yun was also looking at this person while wearing his silver mask. He could sense the demeanor of a disciple belonging to big sects from this person. It seemed like the rumors were true, Thunderp Sword Demon was expelled from a powerful sect.
Two days had passed and Lin Yun had recovered from all his injuries. So much so that he even took a step further in his cultivation, strengthening the origin energy in his aura oceans by a lot. Even the Demonic Astral Flowers in his aura oceans were shining brightly.
“Sorry, but my Qiu n can’t afford 8,000 Divine Astral Pellets. Then again, we wouldn’t give it to you even if we could afford it,” said Patriarch Qiu coldly.
“No matter. I have always been a reasonable person. You can just give me your life.” The Thunderp Sword Demon grinned, but his words made everyone feel a chill down their spines. Then, he left behind afterimages as hended on the empty ground before the hall.
With an outburst of baleful aura, he forced all the empyreans from the Qiu n to be pale. They were shocked to discover that their origin energy became stagnant and could no longer circte properly.
Wisps of faint crimson aura were emitted from the Thunderp Sword Demon before spreading out on the ground like tentacles. The Qiu n’s empyreans felt like they were suffocating from the bizarre baleful aura.
With each step that Leng Aohan took, everyone’s hearts began to beat faster. After seven steps, Leng Aohan came to a stop. He red at those surrounding Patriarch Qiu, making them go flying while spitting blood. In that split second, they felt like they were being grabbed by an invisible force with a hammer striking against their chests.
But to Leng Aoran, it was just a small trick as he looked at Patriarch Qiu and grinned, “You still want to carry on? You think you can rely on these so-called core disciples to fend me off?”
Patriarch Qiu’s heart sank when he heard that. It appeared that Thunderp Sword Demon knew of the core disciples that he gathered.
The moment Thunderp Sword Demon finished his words, figures began to charge out from various corners of the courtyard to seal off the entire area. When the core disciples from the various sects released their aura, they tried to restrict Leng Aoran.
Their aura was like a mountain range pressing down on the Thunderp Sword Demon, while Yan Teng, Xuan Fei, and Lei Lan all hovered in the sky. All of them emitted starlight from their bodies while staring at Thunderp Sword Demon.
“The Thunderp Sword Demon is indeed decisive. Plus, the way you manipte your baleful aura is brilliant.” Yan Teng smiled while he looked at Thunderp Sword Demon calmly with a smile full of confidence.
Thunderp Sword Demon looked around before he smiled, “What a great formation. Looks like my head is pretty precious.”
He had no fear and even looked excited. This was also the reason why he left the Qiu n a note, dering his arrival beforehand. After all, these core disciples were wealthy and carried many pellets bestowed to them by their sects. They might even have holy spirit martial techniques on them.
This was his real target. After all, fifteen days was enough for the Qiu n to shift their wealth away. Instead, he was focused on the wealth of the core disciples. Even though there were many core disciples around, they weren’t guaranteed to have perfect chemistry. So he really could benefit from this encounter.
He was confident because he had never failed once. Even if he ran into genuine experts, he only suffered some light injuries and was still able to flee.
“Me, Brother Lei, and Brother Xuan will be responsible for dealing with him. The rest of you will just be responsible for sealing off the entire ce to ensure that he doesn’t escape.” Yan Teng’s voice sounded out as he had no intention of letting anyone interfere in dealing with Thunderp Sword Demon. His words were mainly meant for the other core disciples from their three sects. He didn’t even consider the existence of the other sects.
He knew that everyone was here to fish for benefits, and that they might even be an obstruction to the fight. So, he descended with Lei Lan and Xuan Fei in a triangle formation that sealed off every single direction of Thunderp Sword Demon.
Lei Lan slowly drew out a sword under the moonlight. He swung his dao artifact sword casually, causing the ground to tremble violently. Meanwhile, Xuan Fei pulled out a staff while smiling sinisterly.
As for Yan Teng, he merely stood with his hands behind him and didn’t take out any weapon. But even so, the aura that he released was the strongest. As he circted the King Suspend Art, he emitted a faint imperial pressure that slowly merged with his empyrean aura. At this moment, he looked like an actual emperor.
Everyone was shocked when they realized that there were no weaklings among the top sects. It didn’t matter if it was Yan Teng or the others, any single one of them could suppress the crowd. It seemed like there was hope to take Thunderp Sword Demon down.
Looking at this scene, Leng Aoran smiled, “I love dealing with you disciples from the four major sects. But it’s a pity that there are no disciples from the Fleeting Cloud Sword Sect.”
“Don’t worry. After tonight, there will be no more Thunderp Sword Demon in the Profound Azure Manor!” Yan Teng smiled.
“Hahaha!” Thunderp Sword Demonughed as the baleful aura slowly squirmed around him, causing the ferocious aura emitted from him to rise even further. Hisughter was like a demonic tune that echoed in everyone’s ears.
If one didn’t have strong willpower, they would be dragged into an illusion by the burst ofughter and enveloped in fear. In the next second, several people became bloodshot.
“Let’s go!” Yan Teng’s face changed, not wanting to give Thunderp Sword Demon any advantages.
“Divine Demon Subduing Staff!” Xuan Fei was the first to make his move, using his staff to execute the famous Demon Subduing Staff from the Azure Thunder Monastery. Lightning flickered on the surface of his body and the staff before he used his staff to make a stab. Instantly, he created a hole in the space before him while countless Buddhist runes swiftly formed a majestic painting.
The huge sound produced by his attack interrupted Thunderp Sword Demon’s burst ofughter as the painting formed into a golden ‘卍’ mark that flew towards Thunderp Sword Demon.
“Dancing celestial cranes in the depth of white clouds!” Lei Lan’s figure began to turn illusory as his sword aura manifested into a sea of clouds. When the sword ray bloomed in the sea of clouds, the sword ray looked like a celestial crane.
Then, Yan Teng pushed his palm out. Although he used the least amount of effort, his attack was the strongest. A gigantic palm descended from the sky, while heaven and earth began to shrink in size. The three of them didn’t hold back as they executed their strongest attacks. Clearly, they didn’t want the battle with Thunderp Sword Demon to drag on.
“Well done!” Thunderp Sword Demon smiled and a sword appeared in his hand before anyone could respond. He merely responded with a swing of his sword. As a crimson sword ray flew out, the ‘卍’ mark that was flying towards him was cut in half.
Then, he swung his sword once more, unleashing a crimson sword ray that manifested into a python. The python soared into the sky and shed with Lei Lan’s attack, resolving the attack.
Then, Leng Aoran unleashed another crimson sword ray that manifested into a dragon. The crimson demonic dragon collided with the gigantic palm descending from the sky. Just like that, Leng Aoran easily dealt with the attacks from the three core disciples from three major sects.
In the end, Xuan Fei took five steps back, Lei Lan took seven steps back, and Yan Teng took two steps back.
“You are still too tender to fight me!” Leng Aoran’s eyes shed coldly with a disdain on his face. It was so humiliating that the faces of Yan Teng’s group became ugly. Although they knew that there was a difference between them and Leng Aoran, they didn’t think that the difference would be so huge.
“Tonight, I’ll show you why I, Leng Aoran, am called Thunderp Sword Demon!” Leng Aoran roared as his killing aura dyed the entire night red. Even the moon was dyed red like a bashful beauty.
