Chapter 244 - Thunder Demon Sovereign, Might of Elegant Sky (1/2)

Killing intent?

Everyone turned and looked along the precipice of the canyon. The horizon was covered densely with thunderclouds, as if a storm was about to arrive.

Zhou Xuanji narrowed his eyes and looked over. There seemed to be a figure sitting on a hill in the distance.

That person’s hair was unbound, and his hands rested on his knees with his palms facing up. His black robe continuously billowed, and traces of demonic qi leaked out of him, making it seem as if there was an intense fire burning around his body.

Despite the thunder and lightning rampaging above him, he did not move.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked into the distance as he muttered, “Zhou Xuanji, you’ve finally come.”

He was not in a hurry to get up and waited where he was.

“Demonic qi. This person is a demonic cultivator,” Daoya Old Man said softly. Hearing this, Xu Yang and the others at the back felt quite nervous.

Demonic cultivator!

Xiao Jinghong frowned and said, “This person doesn’t have good intentions. It feels like he’s been waiting here for a long time.”

They immediately thought about the Xinhao Sect and Haoqi Alliance.

These two demonic factions could always quickly track them down.

“It should be an enemy; let me handle this,” Zhou Xuanji said as he smiled and an exquisite-looking golden sword appeared in his hand.

The sword was 1.2 metres long and the blade was as wide as an adult’s palm. There were many images of people engraved on it, and it gave off an ancient aura.

It was the Elegant Sky Starry Sword!

Seeing Zhou Xuanji take out this sword, everyone’s eyes lit up.

Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, and the others all felt quite curious about this new sword.

Xu Yang and the other disciples were very eager to see Zhou Xuanji’s strength.

Apart from the battle at Stone Forest City, they had not seen Zhou Xuanji act before.

That battle had been too short; perhaps this time they would be able to properly see how powerful Sword God Zhou was.

“All of you stay safe; I’ll go and fight him,” Zhou Xuanji said as he leapt up and flew towards the distance looking like an immortal.

Xu Yang asked excitedly, “How many moves will it take Grand-Teacher to defeat the enemy?”

He had been passionate about the Way of the Sword his whole life, and he had revered Zhou Xuanji since long ago.

After the battle at Fallen Immortal Heavenly Lake, Zhou Xuanji had disappeared and there were rumors that he had died.

This had made Xu Yang feel devastated for a while.

Now that he was about to see Zhou Xuanji’s abilities, he felt his blood roil.

“The enemy is a Great Realization stage cultivator,” Ning Zifeng said, causing Xu Yang’s eyes to widen.

Great Realization stage cultivators were existences who could enter the Northern Wilderness’ Top 100!

At the same time, Zhou Xuanji arrived in front of the black-robed man. They were 100 meters apart.

He coldly looked at the other person but did not immediately attack or speak.

“Zhou Xuanji, you’ve made me wait a long time,” the black-robed man said as he coldly laughed. His eyes were blood-red and his pupils could not be seen, making him look like an evil demon.

“Who are you and how do you know my whereabouts?” Zhou Xuanji asked calmly as the Sky Extinguishing Sword appeared in his left hand.

With both swords in his hands, so what if this person was a Great Realization stage cultivator?

The black-robed man slowly stood up and said, “My name is Zhang Kuanglan; have you heard of me before?”

Zhang Kuanglan!

Zhou Xuanji slightly frowned.

He had heard of this name, but he was not within the Northern Wilderness’ Top 100, as he had long since died.

That person had been a great authority within the demonic path 10,000 years ago.

Back then, the Tanhua Sect and Haotian Sect had been supreme in the demonic path, and both factions had continuously fought. In the end, the Ancient Diablo had won, and the Haotian Sect crumbled and split into two factions, the Xinhao Sect and Haoqi Alliance.

Zhang Kuanglan had been one of the Demon Sovereigns of the Haotian Sect.

“Didn’t you die?” Zhou Xuanji asked in a low voice. This person did not make him feel much danger, and he did not seem like the ancient Demon Sovereign Zhang Kuanglan.

Zhang Kuanglan said with a cold expression, “You killed so many of the Xinhao Sect and Haoqi Alliance’s disciples. If I didn’t come out, the Haotian Sect’s later generations would all die at your hands.”

After saying this, he raised his right hand and countless bolts of lightning descended from the thunderclouds, criss-crossing in his palm.
