Chapter 243: Chapter 179: The Fall of the Martial Saint (Request for Monthly Tickets)_2
And moreover, he became vigilant in his heart; given that a Demon Saint was lurking around, could it be the same Demon Saint whose demon form he had annihilated years ago?
"Seems like I need to keep an even lower profile to avoid being targeted by the Demon Saint."
Li Qian thought to himself.
After all, with the Dao Sect at the forefront, the Divine Sword Sect would at most deploy some Celestials, so the risk wasn’t great.
Unless the survival of the Divine Sword Sect was threatened, he would not take action, much less show his face.
After all, his current cultivation progress had already reached 96 at the early stage of the Martial Saint Realm, and level 27 of the fourth layer of the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent.
To become a Great Saint, the standard was to have cultivation reaching the mid-stage of Martial Saint Realm and attaining the fifth layer of the Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent.
So, it shouldn’t take long for him to step into the level of a Great Saint.
...
Months later.
At Huilong Mountain Range, a momentous battle was about to unfold.
One side was the martial arts powerhouses mainly from the Dao Sect, which had gathered nearly all the Celestial Level martial arts forces within Chang Country, the other was the newly established Lion Camel Demon City.
Even the Divine Sword Sect had deployed most of its Celestials to the battle.
In the current lineup, Celestials could only be considered as ordinary experts; the real main force was composed of the Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials from the Dao Sect, with the top echelon even reaching the level of Martial Saint.
The area where Lion Camel Demon City was located roiled with Demon Energy, and hundreds of large and small demons were present, with no shortage of Heavenly Demons among them.
"Senior Brother Yuan, this Huang Lang Demon Saint is a top-level Demon Saint. Even if the three of us join forces, I’m afraid we don’t stand much of a chance."
The Green-clothed Elder Chen Sicheng spoke solemnly.
Even though Senior Brother Yuan was a top-level Martial Saint, he had once been severely injured, lost an arm, and suffered a great decline in cultivation. How much fighting strength could he have left?
Now, the vast majority of the Dao Sect’s strength was tied up on several defensive fronts and they couldn’t send reinforcements. They could only rely on them to deal with the Huang Lang Demon Saint at Lion Camel Ridge.
The man in the purple robe beside him also looked equally worried.
"The Huang Lang Demon Saint had once lost a demon form in the Human World, so it definitely can’t maintain its peak condition. We still have a chance."
The one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, shook his head and said.
"Senior Brother Yuan, I heard that a Martial Saint once emerged in the Human World before the barrier closed?"
The man in the purple robe, Yan Fu, asked curiously.
"Yes, indeed, that happened. Daoist Wang Xi of the Yao Mountain lineage had contact with this Martial Saint, but after the subsequent demon calamity, that Martial Saint disappeared without a trace."
The one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, nodded.
"Perhaps he has fallen; otherwise, how could there be no news of him?"
The Green-clothed Elder Chen Sicheng said.
"I have no idea. According to what the elders declared, this Mortal Martial Saint hadn’t assimilated the Elder Jade Slip, so we can’t confirm whether this Martial Saint is dead or alive. However, it is said that this particular Elder Jade Slip surfaced over a decade ago, so the elders deduced that this Martial Saint might still be alive."
The one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, shook his head.
The Elder Jade Slip of the Dao Sect had a very special function; it could determine the life and death of an elder.
Once an elder falls, they could obtain the information immediately.
As long as the Elder Jade Slip isn’t placed inside a Storage Device, it is possible to locate it.
"If this Martial Saint hasn’t fallen, why hasn’t he ever assimilated the Elder Jade Slip? Could it be that he doesn’t know what a great opportunity it is to become an elder of the Dao Sect?"
The Green-clothed Elder Chen Sicheng said, his tone tinged with envy.
After all, to become an elder, one must at least be above a top-level Martial Saint in the Dao Sect.
For those below top-level Martial Saint, becoming an elder is incredibly difficult – one must perform extraordinary feats for the Dao Sect.
That Mortal Martial Saint was granted the status of elder by the Dao Sect in an exceptional case because he had cleared all the Demon Clan forces from the Human World, an extraordinary accomplishment.
"The Huang Lang Demon Saint has emerged."
Suddenly, the one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, spoke.
From within the Lion Camel Demon City, a massive yellow cloud surged forth, condensing into the form of a gigantic yellow weasel.
"Heeheehee, it seems your Dao Sect really is out of people. One with a severed arm, another blind... But this saint really hates fighting and killing. If you hand over the territories within a thousand li around Lion Camel City for our management, we can agree to a peaceful coexistence."
The strange laughter emerged from within the massive yellow cloud.
"What a delusional thought."
The one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, let out a cold snort and suddenly spat out a Sword Qi which shot forth, entwined with rolling thunder.
Boom!
The gigantic cloud in the form of a yellow weasel abruptly extended a claw, clashing fiercely with the Sword Qi in midair.
At the same time, the terrifying Myriad Phenomena Martial Intent and the Holy Domain evolved from the Demon Thought also collided fiercely.
Suddenly!
The Sword Qi shattered.
The terrifying yellow weasel cloud beast roared out, and the Holy Domain created from rolling Demon Thought bore down.
The one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, swayed, his face pale.
The Green-clothed Elder and the man in the purple robe standing on either side of him acted almost at the same time, bolstering him with the power of two Holy Domains to barely withstand the Myriad Phenomena Demon Domain of the Huang Lang Demon Saint.
"Haha, top-level Martial Saint of the Human Clan, that’s all you have."
The Huang Lang Demon Saint’s laughter echoed.
The next moment, the massive cloud of the yellow weasel suddenly contracted and transformed into a yellow cloak, which landed on a ferocious human-shaped demon creature.
It was the Huang Lang Demon Saint.
In hand, it held a colossal white bone brush with yellow bristles.
"All three of you, come at me together."
The one-armed man, Yuan Chenggang, exchanged a look with the other two Martial Saints and at once, the three shot up into the sky like lightning, engaging in a high-altitude battle with the Huang Lang Demon Saint.
Then, Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials from both sides and Heavenly Demons began to engage in fierce combat in the skies, while ordinary Celestials and great demons battled as well.
On the ground, a large number of Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters clashed with lesser demons in a brutal fight.
