Chapter 1972: Sword Immortal (1/2)

Boom!

The sword Qi that possessed terrifying might directly collided with the hand condensed from demonic aura. It erupted with terrifying energy shockwaves, directly flattening the mountain range, causing the ground to crack and sink.

The energy shockwave was truly terrifying. Even with Jian Chen and Kai Ya’s strength, they struggled to endure it. The energy forced them into a constant retreat.

If it were not for the fact that the energy shockwave came from a casual strike of a Primordial realm expert, if it were not for the fact that the sword Qi still had not dispersed after cutting through the demonic hand, blocking most of the energy for Jian Chen and Kai Ya, it would be difficult for the two of them to emerge unscathed before the terrifying storm. They would definitely end up injured.

Swish!

The whistling of wind rang out once again. After dispersing the hand, the sword Qi continued to shoot into the demonic cloud with shocking might.

The sword Qi shimmered, shining as brightly as the sun. It illuminated the sky, dyeing all the demonic, black clouds in the sky white.

“Hmph!” A cold snort rang out from the demonic clouds. Primordial realm laws descended in the demonic clouds, forming chains that flickered through the clouds like lightning, colliding with the sword Qi.

This collision caused another deafening boom. Just the terrifying sound alone had caused the ground to shake violently as if the entire Divine Kingdom of Pingtian was experiencing a great earthquake.

Not only did all the rocks in the ruined mountains turn to dust, but even large portions of the ground below collapsed, turning into dark abysses.

“Sword Immortal!” Jian Chen was surprised when he sensed the power of the sword Qi. The person who had produced the sword Qi had reached the third major realm of cultivation in the Way of the Sword, Sword Immortal!

Jian Chen subconsciously turned around and saw a dignified middle-aged man in dragon robes stride through the sky. He was clearly extremely far away, where even Jian Chen only managed to see an extremely blurry image of him. However, in the next moment, he took a single step and traversed the great distance, directly appearing before Jian Chen. He stared at the figure hidden within the demonic clouds coldly.

The middle-aged man was the divine king!

“Huai An, you’ve overstepped the boundary!” The divine king’s hair fluttered in the wind as he stood before Jian Chen. He solemnly stared at Huai An, who was hidden in the clouds, as he gave off the presence of a ruler. The Laws of the Sword revolved around him.

“The divine king actually comprehends the Laws of the Sword!” Jian Chen was secretly surprised. He was taken aback. The Laws of the Sword were one of the laws that possessed the greatest offensive power. A Primordial realm expert who had comprehended the Laws of the Sword would definitely possess much greater prowess than Primordial realm experts who comprehended other laws.

Although Jian Chen had spent some time with the divine king, he did not know what kind of laws the divine king had comprehended.

Although the divine king had used the power of laws in the war against the Empyrean Demon Cult before, they were hazy, only presented in the form of pure power. He did not clearly demonstrate the type of law they were.

Only now did Jian Chen learn that the divine king was actually an expert who comprehended the Laws of the Sword!

“Haha, the Cloud Plane may be big, but I can go wherever I want. How can you say I’ve overstepped the boundary?” Huai An’s voice rang out from within the demonic clouds. Then, he slowly emerged from them.

However, he was not alone. Behind him hovered three figures silently. From the presences they gave off, they had all reached Godking!

“Pingtian, I was expecting you to appear. However, do you really think you can keep the person that I want to deal with safe with your strength that has only recently reached the Primordial realm?” Huai An sneered. Then, he said to the three people behind him, “Go, bring me Jian Chen and that girl.”

“Yes, sir!”

The three Godkings behind Huai An answered together. With a single movement, they flew towards Jian Chen and Kai Ya.

“Leave!” The divine king growled at Jian Chen. He waved his arm, and the laws of the Primordial realm descended. The resplendent sword Qi formed a huge chain that swept towards the three Godkings with terrifying might.

A Primordial realm expert’s strike was absolutely frightening. Even though the three Godkings were not weak, all late Godkings, they were not supreme Godkings who had made it onto the Godkings’ Throne.

As a result, they shivered when they faced the divine king’s casual strike. The presence of death pressed towards them as if the world was ending.

Huai An appeared before the three of them as if he had teleported. He blocked the divine king’s attack with composure and said, “Pingtian, our battle last time never ended. Why don’t we continue it in outer space?”

With that, Huai An directly attacked the divine king regardless of his response.

Huai An’s strike this time was on a completely different level compared to before. Before, he had struck out leisurely, without using laws from the Primordial realm. He had just condensed a hand out of demonic aura to use against Jian Chen.

This was because he knew the divine king would definitely protect Jian Chen secretly, so the strike before was only to draw him out. Huai An did this to prevent the divine king from dealing a sneak attack all of a sudden.

Now that the divine king had appeared, Huai An was fearless. He used his full strength right from the start.
