My Master Is Super Powerful But Overly Steady-Chapter 40

The Wages of Sin Is Death

Just as Ye Chen made his move to kill Demon Emperor Qingli, Demon Emperor Cang Qing and Shang Wuqing, who were hundreds of miles away, subconsciously looked over.

Despite the distance, they could still sense that horrifying sword power that could tear apart Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, they could also clearly sense that Demon Emperor Qingli’s aura had disappeared.

“Demon Emperor Qingli is dead?” Shang Wuqing sent a voice transmission to Demon Emperor Cang Qing in surprise.

A burning look flashed across Demon Emperor Cang Qing’s eyes as he said, “He must be! Someone used a Supreme-Grade spirit treasure on him. I don’t know if it’s the Xuantian Holy Maiden or the Peak Lord of Crimson Flame Peak. It could also be the kid who used the sword just now!”

“A Supreme-Grade spirit treasure? We must take a look!” 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m

Shang Wuqing’s eyes lit up as he took out the Heavenly Fiend Bell and knocked away the skeleton of Tian Lin. The Daoist robe on his body fluttered in the wind as the black-red Taiji diagram on it flickered before turning him into a stream of light that rushed toward Meng Jiuxiao.

Supreme-Grade spirit treasures were extremely precious. Forget about Demon Emperors, even Demon Lords didn’t usually have one.

The spirit treasures they used were usually Low-Grade ones!

Demon Emperor Cang Qing also took the opportunity to rush in the same direction. They couldn’t care less about the others now that they knew a Supreme-Grade spirit treasure was so close to them.

But the wage of sin was death.

The simple presence of Supreme-Grade spirit treasures was enough for them to fight to the death!

Since the two had rushed off so quickly, the skeleton of Tian Lin decided to focus its attention on the remaining demon cultivators. A grayish-white evil demon phantom flickered and many demon cultivators fell from the sky like rain.

The other demon cultivators were shocked as they fled in panic.

What was going on?

Why did the four Demon Emperors escape?

They could not figure out any reasonable explanations. They clearly had the advantage. How did the situation suddenly turn around?

Everyone from the Xuantian Holy Land, on the other hand, was greatly invigorated. Although they did not know what exactly happened, they guessed that it must have been something beneficial to them. They avoided the skeleton of Tian Lin and chased after the escaping demon cultivators.

...

In the distant horizon,? Meng Jiuxiao had just witnessed the death of Demon Emperor Qingli with his own eyes. His pupils suddenly constricted and his face was filled with fear as a strong sense of unease rose up in his heart.

This person was too dangerous! f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

If they did not leave now, he didn’t know if they would ever be able to!

Meng Jiuxiao threw himself into the Demon Blood Cauldron, using it to take on the attacks of the Crimson Flame Peak Lord and Zi Menghan. The Demon Blood Cauldron broke through their attacks and escaped in the direction of the Blood Demon Cult’s branch.

Among the various enemies before him, Ye Chen was currently the highest threat to him, even more than the skeleton of Tian Lin. All Meng Jiuxiao wanted right now was for someone to back him up!

A vast mountain and beautiful river vibrated around the Xuantian Holy Maiden. Eventually, numerous mountains towered into the sky and the great rivers meandered like dragons. There were also countless blue waves that crashed harder and harder against the shore in the Xuantian Holy Maiden’s vision, making it seem real as she forcefully blocked Meng Jiuxiao.

Since she was the last to arrive, the Xuantian Holy Maiden decided to use her position to prevent Meng Jiuxiao from escaping.

But a vicious look flashed in Meng Jiuxiao’s eyes and the Demon Blood Cauldron sped up.

With a muffled sound, the Xuantian Holy Maiden’s vision was knocked into by the Demon Blood Cauldron. Her vision lasted for just a moment longer before it shattered in midair.

The damage to her vision also affected her as she spat out a huge mouthful of blood and her face turned pale.

Meng Jiuxiao wasn’t unaffected either. His momentum had decreased, allowing the Crimson Flame Peak Lord to catch up with him. The sword in the Peak Lord’s hand had turned into a fire dragon before smashing into Meng Jiuxiao’s Demon Blood Cauldron, causing the latter to tremble with a brilliant light.

Ye Chen had also arrived and joined the attacks on Meng Jiuxiao. The sword hummed in the sky and a brilliant light shot toward Meng Jiuxiao’s Demon Blood Cauldron.

It was the Extreme Realm Sword Slash again!

Although using the Extreme Realm Sword Attack had consumed a lot of his energy, Ye Chen had already carved an energy storage array inside this puppet’s body, thus allowing its energy to refill in an instant.

He spared his enemy no time to recover as he launched his subsequent attacks.

By now, Meng Jiuxiao was scared out of his wits but it was already too late for him to dodge any of the incoming attacks.

The Demon Blood Cauldron shattered and Meng Jiuxiao, who was hiding inside, was crushed by the biting cold sword Qi. Even his Primordial Spirit was not able to escape. In the end, nothing was left.

Ye Chen once again released fire, burning Meng Jiuxiao’s blood and bones clean.

Another Demon Emperor had died!

Right at this moment, the fastest one, Shang Wuqing had already escaped to quite a distance. But when he saw what had just happened, he stopped in mid-air for a moment before continuing to escape at an even higher speed.

As a Demon Emperor and Branch Lord, his sense of danger was quite sharp.

Since Ye Chen could attack a second time, he might as well do so a third time. Plus, it was hard stopping such a strong sword attack.

No matter how much Shang Wuqing wanted that Mortal Transformation Sword in Ye Chen’s hand, he would have to fight for it another time. If he ran too slowly, he might not even be able to survive!

Demon Emperor Cang Qing had also used his extreme speed to escape in another direction.

“How fast your escapes are!”

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly as he used his Imminent Skyline skill. He arrived behind Shang Wuqing in one step and once again used his Extreme Realm Sword Attack.

Upon Ye Chen’s approach, Shang Wuqing’s expression changed drastically. Indeed, this monster could still use such a powerful sword attack!

Shang Wuqing’s eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he took out an ancient blood-colored halberd. The halberd was carved with ferocious-looking demons and the tip of it was still dripping with black and red demonic blood.

It was the Low-Grade spirit treasure, the Great Desolate Demon Halberd!

Just as it was about to come into contact with the Mortal Transformation Sword, it suddenly exploded and let out a violent shockwave that crashed onto Ye Chen’s weapon.

The spirit treasure’s self-detonation caused the Mortal Transformation Sword to slow down for a moment before continuing to slash at Shang Wuqing at an even higher speed.

Shang Wuqing’s body was eventually covered in blood but he took the opportunity to burn his blood essence to execute Blood Shadow Escape and flee into the distance.

However, the Mortal Transformation Sword tore through the air and arrived before Shang Wuqing within seconds.

There was no way to avoid it!

In a moment of desperation, Shang Wuqing took out his Heavenly Fiend Bell.

But the Mortal Transformation Sword simply pierced through it and into Shang Wuqing’s shoulder.

In the next fifteen minutes, Shang Wuqing felt all of his cultivation turn into nothingness. He could not sense any demonic energy left within him and his divine consciousness could not even leave his body. It was as if he had turned into a mortal in an instant.

A hint of fear flashed in Shang Wuqing’s eyes. He finally understood why Meng Jiuxiao could not escape just now.

And that was Shang Wuqing’s last thought.

Sword Qi exploded and Shang Wuqing’s flesh and blood had been completely burned by Ye Chen.

Even though they had seen it more than once, the Crimson Flame Peak Lord and Xuantian Holy Maiden were still shocked.

The Qingyun Peak Lord was terrifying!

“Holy Maiden, Peak Lord Shen, and the two of you, please turn back to deal with the situation near the Blood Demon Cult’s branch. I’ll chase after the last Demon Emperor. Oh right, I don’t like trouble or attention so I hope you can keep this matter a secret.” And with that, Ye Chen used the Imminent Skyline skill and continued his chase.

“Junior Brother Ye is already so powerful! But he is right. that Blood Demon Cult’s branch still has a large number of demon cultivators, and even an old demon who’s pretending to be dead. Let’s not waste any more time and hurry back!”

The Crimson Flame Peak Lord let out a sigh as his divine energy enveloped the Xuantian Holy Maiden, Zi Menghan, and Li Qingzhou, to rush towards the Blood Demon Cult’s branch.

Meanwhile, Demon Emperor Cang Qing had used his maximum speed and turned into a blood shadow that flickered and disappeared. Soon, he was over a thousand miles away.

But unfortunately for him, a skinny old man suddenly rushed out from the forest and slashed at him.

Extreme Realm Sword Slash!

Demon Emperor Cang Qing felt his heart skip a beat as he activated his Nine Dragons Sky Demon Tower and Ten Thousand Spirit Blood Banner to self-destruct. He then used his Blood Poison Demon Blade to barely block the incoming attack.

In the next fifteen minutes, Demon Emperor Cang Qing saw dozens of figures appear from the forest, surrounding him.

Then, he saw Ye Chen’s figure slowly flying over in the distance.

A look of despair appeared in Demon Emperor Cang Qing’s eyes and the fine scales on his face slightly trembled. His heart shook as he bitterly said, “Please, spare me! I swear that I will never set foot in Eastern Wastelands again!”

But Ye Chen simply said, “Tell me the location of that Demonic Abyss Crack you came from to get here. You aren’t in a position to bargain.”

“The Demonic Abyss Crack is of great importance to us and our Primordial Spirits have restrictions in accordance to this. Any action that might expose the location of the Demonic Abyss Crack will directly kill our Primordial Spirit. I can’t tell you what you want to know!”

“Then, you are useless!”

Ye Chen shook his head lightly as three puppets used their Extreme Realm Sword Slash on Demon Emperor Cang Qing, revealing three dazzling sword lights falling on the enemy from different directions. It was a decisive move.
