Chapter 298

– Cha Nu Divine Demon
The demon girls flew up into the sky with the totem pillars revolving around them. They were nonchalant about Qiu Jin’er’s totem pattern array formation and said laughingly,
The humans are indeed livestock in this continent, and also medicinal pellets to the demon race. If it weren’t for your great human god who was once an ordinary man that had opened his secret realms in reverse, how will there be the Swords Gate, how could there be human Qi Practitioners like yourself in the world? So, how dare you medicinal pellets defy your masters? You presumptuous humans!

Qiu Jin’er was anxious, she had only been ambushing and sneak-attacking the pursuers, but she had never fought directly with them. Now, she was forced to do precisely that; it was natural for her to feel anxious.
She furtively glanced at the incapacitated Zhong Yue, and she recollected her thoughts, calmed herself down and answered the demon girls in an indifferently,
Leave now or die!


Hmph! How courageous! Go!

The demon girls chanted, and the demon girl in white threw her pouch to the sky. The Wind Fire Ants rushed out like billowing smoke toward the totem pattern array formation. She sneered frigidly and said,
Let me show you how I will break your fragile array formation away!

On the way over, the Wind Fire Ants had already turned into three-feet-long ants. They rushed into the totem patterns and started gnawing on the totem pillars, devouring them like termites at an incredible rate!
All of a sudden, the totem pattern array formation changed, and hundreds of giant logs slammed onto one another. Instantly, the air became filled with wood shavings. The wood shavings combined to form many thin wood silks that pierced into the Wind Fire Ants.
As the Wind Fire Ants were still struggling on the wood silks, the wood silks suddenly expanded and destroyed countless Wing Fire Ants!
The giant logs disintegrated into wood silks, and the wood silk expanded into giant logs. In an instant, the number of giant logs had multiplied a thousandfold. This extended the area of the array formation’s coverage, including the demon girls and Tianmo Consort in it as well!
Qiu Jin’er yelled, and countless totem pillars flew toward the demon girls!
While the demon girls also yelled, the demonic soul weapons were cast out. They looked bizarre, different than those of the other races; the demonic soul weapons took the form of the demonic statues. They would grow bigger into jade-like figures as they were cast out. Some had eight arms and four different heads, some had six legs, and some were covered in scales with bone spurs sticking out. But there was one thing they all had in common, and that was the terrifying demonic aura and grotesque appearances they had.
In the midst of their howlings, the giant logs crushed a few of them while at the same time, the giant logs were burnt away by them.
Light wheels emerged behind the demon girls, and they swung their sleeves into the array formation, the sleeves morphed into the terrifying, venomous snakes that lashed at Qiu Jin’er!
Their skills were corroded the totem pillars away as the venomous snakes wrapped around them like constrictors.
The totem pattern array formation was on the verge of collapsing.

【Sword Stashing Art】!

Qiu Jin’er made a hand seal, and all of the giant logs exploded away, leaving behind only the pure Sword Qi that was in them. They gathered the Sword Qi together, and she coalesced them into a smooth and perfect sword bolus that shone with a golden luster.
The Sword Qi were blasted out and kept back in, beheading the venomous snakes formed by the sleeves. While the demonic statues pushed out their hands and slammed over; as the sword bolus has kept the Sword Qi, it expanded and blasted out the Sword Qi again, fighting against the demonic statues!
However, there were too many demonic statues, and one demon girl controlled each of them. With all of their strength standing together, Qiu Jiin’er was simply outmatched, and her sword bolus of the【Sword Stashing Art】was suppressed. It was unable to blast out anymore Sword Qi!

【Sword Burial Art】!

Qiu Jin’er yelled, her body quivered, and the sword bolus changed in a trice; many sword styles were emerging in the sky, forming into a forest of stone steles. Their appearance seemed to cause the atmosphere to freeze. The demonic statues quickly struck their skills on the sword steles and finally stopped the attack!
As the battle continued, the demon girls moved, they launched out their sleeves into venomous snakes and lashed into the forest of sword steles. They curled around the sword steles to suppress the【Sword Burial Art】’s power. All of a sudden, the sword steles suddenly dissolved into streams of water, flushing the venomous snakes into bone and cutting the demonic statues flying into the sky.
It was another skill contained in the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】, the【Sword Flowing Art】!
The Great Boundless Sword Qi contained various skills that were aligned with the various elements in nature.
With Qiu Jin’er having the Innate Wood Spirit Body, she was most familiar with the【Sword Seeding Art】and had lesser need for the other sword skills. But now, her limited arsenal seemed to spell her downfall, as the【Sword Seeding Art】alone was insufficient to fight against the demon girls. This was why she had cast out the other sword skills to fight off the demons.
The demon girls’ attacks were getting more ferocious, one of them cast out a gourd into the sky and waves of demonic Qi surged out from it, they converged together and morphed into a demon god. As it took the Qi form with no definite shape, the demon god could not be taken down by any Sword Qi.
Qiu Jin’er stood steadfast before Zhong Yue, and she didn’t even take a single step back as she had sworn her life to protect her senior martial brother. Suddenly, she cast out five swords and formed into five sword boluses, the five sword boluses flitted in the sky, slashing out pillar-like Sword Qi as they danced in the air.
This was one of the most difficult skills contained in the【Great Boundless Sword Qi】. The sword boluses were round with no sword blades nor hilts, and the Sword Qi could thrust out and attack unexpectedly from any direction.
These five sword boluses also formed an array formation, the Five Elemental Connections Array Formation. Although the sword boluses were dancing in the air, they were all the same distance from one another. Leveraging the synergy of the five elements and the array formation, it effectively prevented the demon girls from penetrating her defenses.
The demon girls’ onslaught continued for a long time, but they couldn’t break through her defense. Suddenly, they stepped forward and stood on the shoulders of the demonic statues, making their way into the array formation while they chanted,
Cha Nu Divine Demon Array Formation!

The demonic statues coalesced together into a divine demon god. It was a female demon god that went by the name of Cha Nu Divine Demon. The demon girls were standing on the female divine demon’s breast and rammed into the middle of the five sword boluses. The released a salvo of attacks and pushed the five sword boluses away, breaking apart the Five Elemental Connections Array Formation!

A little human girl, it’s quite astonishing that you can fend us off for so long, even forcing us to resort to an array formation. But now, it’s time for you to bid farewell to your life!

They controlled the Cha Nu Divine demon and punched over. Thee sword steles in front of Qiu Jin’er were instantly crushed away as if they were nothing more than a few pieces of fragile glasses. Qiu Jin’er quickly raised her hand and took a punch. Her petite body flew back and slammed into the wooden wheelchair along with Zhong Yue. Blood trickled out from her mouth, but she forcibly swallowed it again.
The give sword boluses flew back, and they lifted her and Zhong Yue up while releasing out the Sword Qi and forming the image of the Swords Gate.
She waved her sleeve, pushing Zhong Yue and the wooden wheelchair into the Swords Gate while she stood before the gate. She lifted her hand as the shivering Qiu Jin’er watched the approaching female divine demon god.

I can’t … I’m no match for them….

Her pallid face was filled with sadness and sorrow, and she clenched the Golden Peng Sword in her hand. The young girl gritted her teeth and thrust the Golden Peng Sword over as the Cha Nu Divine Demon struck another punch down at them. And suddenly, a voice rang in her ears. It was hoarse and feeble, but it sounded incredibly warm and … familiar….

Big….

As the magical word was said, the sword feather in her hands shone with a golden light, and it turned into a giant sword that was thousands of feet long. The sword flew over to meet the Cha Nu Divine Demon’s fist, splitting her arm into halves.
The ever-extending Golden Feathery Peng Sword continued thrusting into the Cha Nu Divine Demon’s chest. Two of the demon girls couldn’t make it in time and were killed right away, and their lifeless bodies fell from the Cha Nu Divine Demon’s chest.
Qiu Jin’er couldn’t contain it anymore and spurted out a mouth of blood as the Swords Gate was destroyed, causing her pallid face to turn even paler. However, she was nonchalant about it as her heart became filled with shock and joy. She quickly turned her head back and met the eyes of her awakened senior martial brother, who was now sitting feebly in the wooden wheelchair.

Senior martial brother….

Zhong Yue forced a smile, his face was even paler than hers, coughing out blood as he spoke,
Junior martial sister, I have troubled you….

Qiu Jin’er wiped off the blood that trickled out from her mouth and said sweetly,
Not at all, it’s not troubling at all!

All of a sudden, she thought of the days she spent running away from her pursuers. Not a single second went by where she was able to let her guard down. There were times where she didn’t have anyone to rely on, and tears would stream down her face before she forced herself.
The demon girls were shocked and enraged, they controlled the Cha Nu Divine Demon and struck again, one of them shouted,
Our dear demon imperial consort, what are you waiting for?

Tianmo Consort has yet to take any actions from the start, even when she was in Qiu Jin’er’s array formation, she had only moved around to avoid the attacks. But not once did she join in the battle. If she had, Qiu Jin’er would probably be dead by now.
Qiu Jin’er hearted clenched, and she preemptively recalled the sword boluses to form a new Swords Gate and protect Zhong Yue inside it. She then wielded the golden sword and continued to fight with the demon girls.
However, the demon girls learned their lesson; they avoided direct contact with the Golden Peng Sword and only launched their skills at n it from afar. However, the force of the skills was transferred to Qiu Jin’er’s body through the sword, worsening her injuries. She uncontrollably spat out another mouthful of blood.
Zhong Yue was near-paralyzed in the wooden wheelchair, he was coughing badly as he said smilingly,
The imperial demon consort, are you interested in making a deal?

Rays flashed across Tianmo Consort’s eyes, she smiled coquettishly and said,
What kind of deal?


Your pawns for your husband. Today, you will kill your comrades here and in the future, I’ll kill your husband, the Demon Saint.

Zhong Yue sat in the wheelchair, and he spoke as if he would die at any time,
What do you think of this deal?

Tianmo Consort’s eyes lit up, and she chuckled,
If you kill my husband, wouldn’t I be a widow then? How do you want me to accept such a deal? Furthermore, it doesn’t seem like you can walk out of the South Barren alive, if you die in the South Barren, wouldn’t I suffer the losses of my comrades?


What good does it do to you if you kill me?

Zhong Yue said leisurely,
Furthermore, I’m awake now, not to mention that you can’t kill me, I might even be able to kill you all here. I’ve opened the five Yuan Shen secret realms in reverse. It’s only a matter of time before I ascend to the level of gods. Only I can kill your husband. If you wish to take down the Demon Saint, I’m your only hope, am I not?

Tianmo Consort stared at him. It felt as if a venomous snake had their eyes on its prey. Suddenly, she smiled and asked,
How do you know I want to kill my husband?


You are a talented girl, your proud and supercilious personality destined that you would never allow a man to subdue you, let alone marry you.

His breathing was shallow and rapid, and it felt like every breath he took would be his last. He coughed and continued,
Moreover, you are not to be an empress, but only an imperial concubine. You wouldn’t even be able to kill him in his spirit form, let alone once he resurrects and regains a mortal body. Only by joining hands with me will you have a chance of escaping your fate. This deal will only be known to three people … you, myself, and my junior martial sister. If you accept this deal, you may proceed with the necessary steps now.

Tianmo Consort waved her sleeves, and countless silver needles were shot through the back of the Cha Nu Divine demon to its chest. Before the demon girls could react, the silver needles had already pierced through their heads. Their faces turned black, and their psyche ocean was drained away. Their Yuan Shen was sucked into the needles, and their mortal bodies were reduced to a pool of blood.
Tianmo Consort then kept the needles, she turned and left, leaving behind her chortling voices as she said,
Zhong Shan Clan member, do not forget our deal, or I’ll bring my husband and hunt for you instead!

The Cha Nu Divine Demon collapsed, and the demonic statues fell to the ground.
Qiu Jin’er heaved a breath of relief, just when she was about to turn around, she suddenly collapsed down, she couldn’t contain her injuries anymore and fell down from the sky along with Zhong Yue.
Right before they were crashing onto the ground, she exerted all of the extra arcane energy and paved the ground with multiple layers of vines, creating a soft landing spot for them.

Sun Moon Emanation,
Qiu Jin’er struggled to get up, a moon and a sun emerged and started circling around her, and shone their light down onto her body and Yuan Shen, healing her injuries as she pushed the wheelchair and continued their journey.
