Chapter 303: Chapter 303 The Power of the Sword Emperor

On the mountain top .

Zhuang Huisheng sat on his jeweled chair, surrounded by four demons in human form . His face was fierce and stern, giving off a bale aura .

He was Demon Monarch Gulan’s son . Back then, when Zhou Xuanji was subduing Beixiao Wangjian, he encountered Zhuang Huisheng, who invaded the empire to catch Princess Xuanya .

Zhou Xuanji became greatly reputed in Great Zhou after defeating him .

At the foot of the mountain, some villages faced the blue ocean .

At this moment, villagers gathered and knelt before the hill, looking at Zhuang Huisheng .

“Oh King, we have only a few boys and girls left in the village . Can we exchange something else?” The old villager chief asked carefully . Fear was all over his face .

He prayed in his heart for the immortal to help them .

However, Zhou Xuanji was still recovering from his injury, so the village chief did not dare to reveal it . If Zhou Xuanji could not defeat the demon, their village would be destroyed .

Zhuang Huisheng looked down on him and said coldly, “Am I not merciful enough to ask for a boy and girl every half a year? If I were another demon king, they would have already been eaten up . ”

Boooom—

A bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds . Streaks of lightning shined brightly behind Zhuang Huisheng, covering his face with a shadow before lighting it up again . This made Zhuang Huisheng even more horrifying .

“I will count to ten . If you don’t hand over a boy and girl less than six years old, I will kill all of you today,” Zhuang Huisheng said coldly with impatience .

If not for the sparse population in the region along the sea, he would have already slaughtered the village .

“Yo, the son of the Demon Monarch has such a bad temper . ”

At this moment, Zhou Xuanji’s laughter came, attracting everyone’s attention .

Zhuang Huisheng was stunned .

Zhou Xuanji walked out from a wooden hut with a tanned teenager . He put on a brand new white shirt and held the Holy Light Redemption Sword with a reverse grip . The blade rested against his arm tightly as the edge cut through his skin slightly .

“It’s you!”

Zhuang Huisheng was so frightened that he immediately prepared to flee .

“Stop!” Zhou Xuanji snorted coldly .

Zhuang Huisheng froze in fear as though he was struck by lightning .

He shuddered and trembled in fear .

The other four demons were also frightened . Although they did not know Zhou Xuanji, a person that could frighten Zhuang Huisheng so much must be very powerful .

The villagers were all dumbfounded .

The presence of the immortal could strike so much fear into these demons?

“Come down,” Zhou Xuanji said coldly .

Zhuang Huisheng turned around stiffly and flew down the mountain in trembles . He walked up to Zhou Xuanji and did not dare to look at Zhou Xuanji .

He used to hate Zhou Xuanji’s guts .

But ever since Zhou Xuanji killed Huangquan Drake King, Jihuang Demon Lord, and Nether Ghost, he no longer hated him .

He only feared that such a powerful cultivator would remember him again .

If Zhou Xuanji were to come at him, even his father wouldn’t be able to save him .

“Why are you so pathetic that you have to eat boys and girls?”

Zhou Xuanji patted Zhuang Huisheng and asked, laughing . But his laughter was filled with murderous intent, which gave Zhuang Huisheng shivers down his spine .

The Demon Monarch’s son knelt down with a loud thump . Cold sweat covered his face as he said with gritted teeth, “Sword Emperor… It’s not that I want to eat them… I had no other choice .

Sword Emperor!

The villagers were greatly shocked . They had no idea about the happenings in the Northern Wilderness Region since they were isolated, so they only felt a sense of awe .

In their eyes, Zhuang Huisheng was someone undefeatable . But before Zhou Xuanji, this undefeatable enemy acted like a dog .

The tanned teenager clasped his fists and shivered in excitement .

So domineering!

He must ask to become his disciple!

“Oh? Tell me about it,” Zhou Xuanji asked . He was not in a hurry to kill Zhuang Huisheng .

This guy’s cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of Fifth Rank . It was a great improvement compared to the past, but he was still an ant in Zhou Xuanji’s eyes .

Even if he had yet to heal from his injuries, he could kill the demon easily .

For the sake of survival, Zhuang Huisheng had to tell the truth .

What happened was that, after the demons were defeated, Demon Monarch Gulan had to retreat with his subordinates . They were too close to Great Zhou, and now that the world’s second hailed from Great Zhou, how could they not feel fear?

To focus on cultivation, they took a long journey .

All the good places in the demons’ territory were occupied by powerful demons . They only settled down along the eastern region near the sea after a long and difficult journey . But a Ninth Rank great demon resided here as well . That demon was extremely powerful and forced them to gather boys and girls or else he would either kill or banish them .

“That demon seemed to have obtained some kind of treasure, so he needed the blood of extreme Yin and Yang to nurture,” Zhuang Huisheng muttered . His voice waned as he reached the end, as though he was extremely afraid .

Zhou Xuanji understood his intention . He wanted Zhou Xuanji’s help to kill the Ninth Rank demon .

“You want my help to kill him?”

Zhou Xuanji asked with squinted eyes, but Zhuang Huisheng dared not answer .

After that, he straightaway asked Zhuang Huisheng to lead the way .

If he were to kill Zhuang Huisheng and the other Ninth Rank great demon, there would be another demon that bullied the village in the future .

He already had a plan in his heart .

Zhuang Huisheng was greatly surprised and led the way excitedly .

Looking at them leaving, the villagers burst out in a huge commotion .

“The Immortal is so powerful!”

“What Immortal, he’s the Sword Emperor!”

“Sword Emperor? Such a mighty title . Is he the most powerful person in the world?”

“That’s for sure . He fell from such a high place and did not die . ”

“We are finally saved . ”

The villagers discussed excitedly . Some even hugged together as they cried .

Those who cried were those who had lost their children .

The tanned teenager looked up and was in a daze for a long time .

…

In the air .

Zhuang Huisheng stood on his demonic cloud while Zhou Xuanji listened to his introduction silently .

That Ninth Rank great demon was Tiger Monarch Fudi . He hid within the demon race for a long time and had to retreat to the seaside after the demons were defeated . He only felt safe staying at the place furthest from the human race .

Demon Monarch Gulan had already given his allegiance to Tiger Monarch Fudi .

After passing by some forests, they arrived at a high mountain .

This mountain looked like two mountains combined together as there was a depression in the middle . There were many caves and valleys .

Many flying demons circled around in the air, and many great demons in human form were cultivating in the mountainous forest . Demonic Qi concentrated at this place, veiling the sunlight .

“Later, I will pretend…”

Zhuang Huisheng spoke to Zhou Xuanji softly and was going to tell him the plan .

Zhou Xuanji concentrated his sight, and the Thunderclap Sword appeared on his head before shooting towards the mountain straight away . Zhuang Huisheng’s sentence was only halfway done .

The Thunderclap Sword bombarded the mountain like a lightning strike . Soil flew into the air, and countless rock fragments were propelled into all directions .

All the demons on the mountain were shocked, and all kinds of cries could be heard .

“Enemy attack!”

“What’s happening?”

“Everyone, be careful! Prepare for battle!”

“Who is that?”

“That side!”

Countless demons charged out from the forest toward Zhou Xuanji .

Numerous legendary swords appeared and shot out with extreme speed . The throats of demons were slashed one after another . Blood splattered across the sky as dead bodies fell .

Zhuang Huisheng stood beside Zhou Xuanji, shuddering .

He knew what it meant for Zhou Xuanji to be the world’s second . But he only felt the awesomeness after witnessing it personally .

He glanced at Zhou Xuanji with his peripheral sight and saw Zhou Xuanji’s calm and indifferent look . He was aghast .

“He might be able to turn the demon race upside down just by himself . ”
