Chapter 453 - Evil Eye (2/2)

The stone sword split apart and the pupil of the eye constricted. It no longer spun around and lost its light.

Zhou Xuanji looked calm while the nine souls were sent into an uproar.

Emperor Zhao exclaimed, “Why did you just destroy it? You didn’t even investigate it thoroughly!”

The other souls were unable to understand either.

They had come all this way, and even if it was not a Saint Sword, it was still something to be gained.

Zhou Xuanji said casually, “Apart from the Saint Swords, I don’t need any other swords.”

He now had nearly 200 swords and did not lack swords.

After the stone sword was destroyed, nothing abnormal happened.

Things remained just as calm and peaceful.

Zhou Xuanji looked at the eye, thinking to himself.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and used Heavenly Law Immortal Energy to pull out the eye, before putting it in the Supreme Storage. He had asked the Sword Spirit before, and knew that if he put evil items in the Supreme Storage, they would be suppressed there.

Of course, the Supreme Storage could not store anything living, so it meant that this eyeball was not alive.

After doing this, Zhou Xuanji quickly left.

He soon met up with Wu Qiu and Lan Shangying; they had shaken off the Tang King Clan disciples, and the three of them quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Those Tang King Clan disciples realized that this was a diversionary tactic, and they did not continue to give chase and returned to the hall.

…

When they saw the broken stone sword, all of them were dumbfounded.

…

Zhou Xuanji and the others landed behind a boulder, and Wu Qiu asked about the situation, while Zhou Xuanji truthfully replied.

After hearing that Zhou Xuanji had destroyed the stone sword, Wu Qiu said in disappointment, “Looks like it wasn’t a Saint Sword. How could a real Saint Sword be so fragile?”

Lan Shangying nodded; it seemed that they had wasted their journey here, and they started to plan their way back.

Zhou Xuanji said, “I want to challenge Tang Juetian, only to determine a winner and loser, and not to fight to the death. This won’t give the Tang King Clan an excuse to attack, right?”

Wu Qiu’s eyes widened as he asked, “Are you crazy?”

With a Great Emperor Divine Weapon, Tang Juetian was an existence even they could not defeat. Did Zhou Xuanji want to suffer a loss that badly?

Zhou Xuanji smiled and said, “If the Divine Cliff wants to rise up, it needs to build a reputation. If I can defeat Tang Juetian, will there be more people wanting to join the Divine Cliff?”

Lan Shangying rolled her eyes and asked, “What if you lose?”

Zhou Xuanji said confidently, “I won’t lose!”

He wanted to test his true power.

Wu Qiu and Lan Shangying could not convince him otherwise, and they could only allow him to challenge Tang Juetian.

The two of them did not follow him so as to avoid being recognized by the Tang King Clan’s disciples.

Zhou Xuanji took out his swords, forming a sword river, and rose into the sky, seeming incredibly domineering. Seeing this, Wu Qiu and Lan Shangying looked at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.

What a powerful aura!

On the ground, Tang Juetian was currently fighting with Lu Tingjun.

Both of their auras were powerful, and they were incredibly fast. They looked like two rainbow lights madly colliding, and the powerful wind they created shook the trees in the surrounding 1,000 kilometers, causing sand to fly everywhere.

Many cultivators hid in the distance spectating.

“So powerful!”

“Both of them are Second Class Great Emperors, and it is said that they fought before but were unable to determine a victor.”

“Ever since Emperor Jundao joined the Great Heaven God Dynasty, Lu Tingjun has been overlooked; who would have thought he was this powerful.’

“They are among the most powerful Void Extreme Immortals.”

“Looks like no one else will be able to obtain the Saint Sword.”

The Heavenly Palace’s people were also spectating. Emperor Yan of Zhou had a look of admiration on his face as he watched this spectacular battle.

If he could be this powerful, why would he need to work to the bone for the Heavenly Palace?

He suddenly thought of his son Zhou Xuanji and wondered what kind of strength that boy had now.

His smile became a bit bitter; they were father and son, but the estrangement between them made it seem like they were enemies.
