Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1309 - 207: Northward (Part 2)

The figure was clad in red armor, face obscured, and from a distance, it seemed wrapped in a halo of crimson flames.

Rumbling sounds echoed everywhere.

The surrounding snow mist was ignited by the light and fire, spreading and retreating in all directions —

From several miles away, just a single glance.

Xuan Jin immediately felt a sense of danger arise in his heart.

"Swish!"

In the next moment.

The red-armored figure standing on the mountaintop suddenly opened its eyes, the golden pupils emitting a dazzling, intimidating light.

In an instant, just an instant.

The tall red armor vanished into thin air, reappearing directly above the flying sword, delivering a straightforward punch aimed at Cheng Er’s head.

"!!!"

Xuan Jin’s pupils shrank.

The speed of this punch was so fast that he almost failed to react in time.

"Get down!"

Xuan Jin hastily formed a technique with his hands and shouted.

Hundreds of threads of the Path of Destruction spread out, forming a pitch-black barrier in mid-air above the flying sword.

With a loud crash.

The Sword Qi barrier formed by the Path of Destruction was pierced through by a single punch. Xuan Jin protected Cheng Er in his arms, absorbing the remaining force of the punch. The powerful gusts blew and surged, and they fell from the high altitude, heavily crashing into the snow below. Xuan Jin wrapped himself in Sword Qi, managing to land somewhat steadily. His expression was as dark as it could get, as he fixed his gaze on the red-armored figure that had landed not far away.

This was also a Great Demon.

And... also a Yin God Realm Great Demon.

Quite unbelievable.

When did so many monsters emerge under the heavens? Despite the prosperous golden era, Xuan Jin had never seen a Yin God strong person beyond the "Great Perfection" besides the Saint Prince!

Today, in just one day, he saw three!

"You shouldn’t have headed north."

The red-armored Great Demon landed on the snow, emotionlessly looking at the woman in green: "Regret now, and there’s still time."

"Heh... heh..."

Cheng Er wiped the blood from the corner of her lips.

She squinted her eyes, letting out two hoarse laughs.

With just one glance.

She guessed the other’s identity...

Cui Zhen.

It was Cui Zhen again!

No wonder this supreme being of the Demon Country had only left a harsh word before allowing her to leave the Ancient Tree Cave Heaven.

It turns out he had cultivated a second incarnation.

If she had obediently followed orders and left the Demon Country, heading south.

Then this red-armored Great Demon wouldn’t have appeared.

But...

If she stubbornly refused to comply and continued to stir up trouble.

Then Cui Zhen’s second incarnation would start hunting her down.

"Venerable indeed has remarkable methods."

Cheng Er softly said: "But are you so sure... that you can kill me?"

The red-armored Great Demon, expressionless, stepped forward again.

In the next moment.

Xuan Jin brought his hands together, invoking a sword technique, causing countless threads of the Path of Destruction to surge forth from between his eyebrows, directly transforming Sword Qi, stabbing toward the red-armored figure a hundred feet away. This was a top-tier lethal holy art in the world, yet the red armor neither dodged nor evaded, standing calmly in place, merely raising a single palm.

"Rumbling!"

The immense Sword Qi gathered by the Path of Destruction was blocked by this palm, split in two.

The red-armored Great Demon, facing the Path of Destruction, forcefully stepped forward, one step at a time.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Xuan Jin’s Heart Lake was shaken.

In just one day, his Dao Heart was repeatedly unsettled.

All these years.

He had always been hailed as the new throne of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, standing on equal footing with the Saint Prince as a top prodigy.

Xuan Jin’s heart was always filled with pride.

Only today, that pride was repeatedly shattered.

Xie Xuanyi, the handsome Great Demon, and the red-armored monster before him... each of these Same Realm Cultivators was stronger than him!

"This is the former number one Great Venerable of the Demon Country."

Cheng Er shakily stood up, using the sleeve of her green shirt to wipe away the last trace of blood from her lips, coldly stating: "In your current state, it’s normal that you can’t defeat him... The Path of Destruction is inherently suppressed by such Dao intents."

Xuan Jin’s cultivation in the Path of Destruction was nearly perfect.

But...

On the same Great Dao, there are also distinctions of superiority.

Purely talking about the proficiency in this Path, Xuan Jin was, after all, forcibly enlightened under the guidance of Chi Fu Dragon Lord. In achievements on the Annihilation Dao Realm, he was completely incomparable to Xie Xuanyi.

However, even Xie Xuanyi had troublesome opponents.

The Saint Prince’s "Fighting Path" inherently suppressed the "Path of Destruction."

At this moment.

The great Dao cultivated by Red Armor Cui Zhen is the "Yang Path," which complements the "Path of Yin." It is likewise a top-ranked, superior Dao Realm in the Great Dao River!

Path of Destruction intent is naturally at a disadvantage against such great Dao.

"The past... the first Great Venerable of the Demon Country?"

Xuan Jin’s expression became even more shocked upon hearing this.

The Demon Country has many Great Venerables.

In the past thousand years, there seems to be only one who could be called the "first Great Venerable." That remarkable figure single-handedly unified all the Holy Lands of the Demon Country and launched a war against the two Human Race dynasties, a battle significant enough to be recorded in history.

Unfortunately, it ended in failure.

That Great Venerable was besieged and killed by Human Race’s Great Divine Ability Users, dying with his path extinguished, his bones stripped, and his blood consumed.

"Mo... Mo Zhen?"

Xuan Jin’s voice was hoarse as he struggled to utter these words.

A hundred years have passed.

Did Mo Zhen Venerable not die?

Could it be... that he succeeded in reincarnation amidst the siege of Human Race’s Great Divine Ability Users?

"Yes."

The Red Armored Demon stood calmly and indifferently in the wind and snow, accepting this title.

The Annihilation Sword Qi was repelled by the Pure Yang Dao Intent, and standing here, he resembled a blazing sun, radiating endless pressure.

The approaching snow melted away.

Even the Sword Qi at the Yin God Perfect Realm couldn’t get close at all.

"What you saw earlier in that Grotto Heaven was also him."

Cheng Er chuckled lightly and explained, "This guy has lived two lifetimes, cultivating two top-level Dao Intents, and is just one step away from Harmonization. This kind of top-level Dao Intent is extremely difficult to advance. Once he succeeds in Harmonization, he will become the strongest never before seen in history."

The Yin and Yang Paths, successful Harmonization...

Only Xie Xuanyi’s "Life and Death" Harmonization could rival it.

"How could this be..."

Xuan Jin looked at this scene in a daze.

His Divine Sea was a complete blank.

If the handsome Great Demon in the previous Grotto Heaven was also Mo Zhen, then as a fellow Demon, why would he help Xie Xuanyi?

"Step aside."

Red Armor Cui Zhen said indifferently, "The only one I want to kill is her."

"..."

Cheng Er silently took two steps back.

Her right hand tightly grasped her sleeve.

A mass of paper snow quietly appeared, gathering at the palm position.

She hid behind Xuan Jin, inconspicuously observing the situation. Once Xuan Jin retreated or stepped aside, the paper snow would open a brand-new Teleportation Portal... Her Divine Thought had long linked with Jing San, Mo Si.

Once she made up her mind, the Venerable Wu Gou of the Paperman Sect would provide assistance immediately.

Surprisingly.

Xuan Jin did not step aside.

He clutched the dark Sword Qi with both hands, gritting his teeth as he blocked in front of Cui Zhen.

"No..."

Xuan Jin took a deep breath, "Master said that the Second Master must be brought back alive to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace."

Earlier on the Flying Sword, he hesitated about whether to follow the master’s command.

In just a few breaths.

Xuan Jin made up his mind.

He decided to follow the master’s command.

But the master’s command contained the directive to ensure the Second Master’s survival first, and then to take her back to the Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

"You have certainly changed a lot..."

Red Armor Cui Zhen was not as gentle as Black Robe Cui Zhen.

Cultivating the Pure Yang Path had transformed his aura completely.

This incarnation was filled with Killing Intent from head to toe.

He looked coldly at Xuan Jin blocking his path and said, "The old you would never do such a foolish thing for a woman you just met."

"I..."

Once again, Xuan Jin’s Divine Sea was filled with earlier confusion.

He gazed at the distant blazing figure, his Heart Lake blurred.

As if something.

Was awakening from the depths of his Heart Lake.

"Let me teach you then."

Red Armor Cui Zhen stepped forward and instantly appeared before Xuan Jin.

His hand clenched into a fist.

However, this time, it was a downward punch, though it was "forceful and powerful," it clearly left Xuan Jin with plenty of reaction time.

Xuan Jin hurriedly raised the Sword Qi, condensing all his Dao Intent at the Heavenly Spirit position.

With a boom.

The punch landed, sending the flying snow trembling and scattering—

"???"

Even though he was prepared, Xuan Jin was still taken aback by the tremendous force.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and, like a wooden man dummy, was nailed into the ground by that punch.

"Uncarved jade can’t become a useful tool."

"Demons won’t learn without a beating."

Cui Zhen coldly said as he looked at the former Jinli Great Venerable, "After all these years of living, the Divine Soul hasn’t awakened. You must have had quite a good time... I’ll help you remember what the brotherly camaraderie of the past was like."
