Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor-Chapter 790 - 778 Ten Thousand Swords Manor
"Nine Nether Sword Technique, Ninth Move, Demon-Slaying Sky Strike!"
In the sky above Ten Thousand Swords Manor in the Western Region, a resounding roar echoed through heaven and earth.
An hour ago, the void was clear, but now it was filled with rolling black demon clouds, with demonic energy filling the sky. Within those clouds, densely packed figures flickered in and out of visibility.
Those figures, some with beast heads and human bodies, others with human heads and beast bodies, some covered in scales, and others in the form of demon beasts, roared and bellowed in the void.
These figures, densely packed within the demon clouds, were clearly of the Demon Race. From the looks of it, there might have been as many as a hundred thousand.
And following that roar which released the Demon-Slaying Sky Strike, a strong fluctuation immediately occurred in the void below the rolling clouds, as if a giant had torn the space apart with great force, revealing a huge black spatial rift.
That black spatial rift expanded increasingly wide, like a massive, boundless fierce beast, opening its dark maw, biting towards the rolling demon clouds above.
"Ah! Ah! Ahhh!" Immediately, a series of piercing, agonizing, and chaotic screams echoed in the area.
As the space was torn apart, the bodies of many demons were also ripped open.
Streams of purple, gray, yellow, and golden blood, of various colors, sprinkled down from the void.
Above Ten Thousand Swords Manor, at this moment stood densely packed figures, tens of thousands strong, each standing erect like swords, looking up at the sky, ready to face the enemy.
At the forefront of this multitude, a young man with a cold expression stood, looking up with contempt, standing there as if he himself were a long sword, piercing the skies.
This person was Yun Yimeng, the current Manor Master of Ten Thousand Swords Manor, once the strongest under these heavens, the sixth disciple of the Great Emperor Nine Nether!
The sword strike that tore the space just now, the Demon-Slaying Sky Strike, was unleashed by him!
Nine Nether Sword Technique, Ninth Move, Demon-Slaying Sky Strike! It was rumored to be the ultimate move created by Emperor Nine Nether himself within the Nine Nether Sword Technique.
Moreover, it was rumored that the Demon-Slaying Sky Strike was realized by Emperor Nine Nether when he annihilated the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race on Sky Demon Mountain, and it was this very strike that slew the Demon Emperor!
At this point, beside Yun Yimeng, another young man, full of worry, spoke, "Brother, I wonder why this massive demon army has come to invade our Ten Thousand Swords Manor?"
This man was Yun Yimeng’s blood brother from the same parents, Yun Yikong!
After Yun Yimeng became the Manor Master of Ten Thousand Swords Manor, Yun Yikong took the position of Great Elder!
"Hmph!" Yun Yimeng coldly snorted, saying bitterly, "Back then, our master Nether slew their Demon Emperor at Sky Demon Mountain. These remnants of the Demon Race dare to invade our Ten Thousand Swords Manor today, then let us completely eradicate these leftovers!"
"Hmph, what a master Nether!" Just then, while wailing sounds still echoed in the void, suddenly a cold hum resounded, and amid the invasive black spatial rift and the rolling demon clouds, brilliant golden light shone.
"Uh?" Yun Yimeng’s eyes narrowed as he saw the golden light flash, and the huge dark spatial rift rapidly closed under that golden light.
Nine Nether Sword Technique, Ninth Move, Demon-Slaying Sky Strike! It was actually broken under that golden light.
Following that, within the golden light in the sky, a golden figure appeared faintly, and once again, a cold shout was heard:
"Human Clan Emperor Nether, twenty-five years ago, killed our Demon Emperor of the Demon Race! Today, I, the Young Emperor Demon Wilderness, emerge from Sky Demon Mountain, leading a hundred thousand of our demon army to conquer the Tianheng Continent again!
Nether is dead, and my first step is to exterminate all related to Nether, to collect your heads, and to sacrifice them to our Demon Emperor’s spirit in the sky!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"Hmph!" Hearing the cold shout from above, Yun Yimeng let out a disdainful snort, coldly saying, "With just the remnants of your Demon Clan, you dream of exterminating Nine Nether’s inheritors—wishful thinking!
Since you’ve come today, your hundred thousand demons shall remain forever at Ten Thousand Swords Manor!"
"Ten! Thousand! Swords! Pierce! Heart!" Yun Yimeng bellowed, his right hand forming a sword technique, pointing directly at the sky.
Following closely, myriad dense Sword Qi materialized in the Void, all flying towards the rolling demon clouds in the sky to annihilate the army of tens of thousands from the Demon Race.
"As people of Ten Thousand Swords Manor, heed my command"—just then, Elder Yun Yikong of Ten Thousand Swords Manor also shouted fiercely—"Set up the Great Formation of Ten Thousand Swords, kill anyone who dares to attack Ten Thousand Swords Manor, be they human, demon, or devil!"
The shout echoed through the heavens and the earth.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Tens of thousands of martial artists from Ten Thousand Swords Manor also shouted in unison, as powerful and sharp Sword Qi surged from their bodies and shot upwards!
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
Within the rolling demon clouds, the war drums thundered, immediately followed by a barrage of ferocious attacks that hammered down, shaking the space, casting chaos across the heaven and the earth—the great battle had erupted!
..
As the sky darkened, Shi Feng took the snake-man clan girl, Zi Ya, back to the City Lord Mansion.
Somehow, throughout the afternoon, Shi Feng had been feeling restless, always sensing that something was about to happen.
"What’s going on? My martial arts intuition keeps making me uneasy; could it really be that something has happened?" Walking along, Shi Feng furrowed his brows and muttered softly.
"Ten Thousand Swords Manor! That old man, Tian Yong, left words saying Ten Thousand Sword Manor was in trouble, and my martial arts intuition makes me uneasy—could a disaster have already befallen Ten Thousand Swords Manor?" These past few days, Shi Feng had been most worried about these words left by Elder Tian Yong of Destiny Mountain.
"I hope I can still make it in time!" Shi Feng said to himself once again.
"What’s wrong, Brother Shi Feng, why do I feel like you’re troubled?" At that moment, walking beside Shi Feng, Zi Ya noticed something was off with him. Ever since earlier, he had been deeply furrowing his brows, prompting her to ask.
"It’s nothing." Hearing Zi Ya’s words, Shi Feng snapped out of his deep thoughts and replied to her.
"Oh! Really?" Zi Ya responded softly.
Before long, the majestic Sunset City Lord Mansion, resembling an Imperial Palace, appeared in front of Shi Feng and Zi Ya.
There, Shi Feng already saw Luo Qingchuan waiting, as well as Luo Long, City Lord of Sunset City, standing next to him.
"Young Master Feng has returned." Seeing the young man approaching, Luo Long greeted him with a nod and a smile. Having heard his title from Luo Qingchuan, he spoke to Shi Feng with a respectful demeanor on his face.
He wondered if this young man might be that man’s illegitimate son!
However, if only he knew who this man really was, what kind of expression would be on Luo Long’s face!
But surely, one day, Luo Long would feel fortunate for the respect he showed today!
(I’m still not recovered from the illness; I’ll stop here today! I really can’t write anymore.)
