Chapter 98 – The Sword Immortal’s Arrival (1/2)

“Great king, it’s a cat!” The rats were all shocked. All of them immediately wanted to burrow into the ground and flee for their lives frantically.

The Cat-eating Rat, the rat king, had finally found the cat he had been looking for. He considered things carefully. If a regular cat could eat regular mice, then a Daemon General cat could obviously eat a Daemon General mice. Afterwards, his legs began to tremble, and he said with a sense of composure, “T- turn around!”

“Wise be the king!” The rats said, immediately burrowing away.

As a result, the great group of rats that had arrived mightily immediately fled upon seeing the cat, Xuanyue.

Xuanyue chuckled with a series of meowhahahas again.

Li Qingshan was stunned. “What cowardly rats.” The terrifying suction from the quicksand immediately vanished, and he leapt out of the pit of sand.

Xuanyue’s expression changed. “Our tracks have been exposed. Let’s go!”

Suddenly, Li Qingshan looked back. At the extremely distant horizon in the south, a streak of light shot over. Just from looking at it from afar, the sharp aura seemed to stab at his eyes. How could he afford to stay put? He charged towards the Ice Sword cliff.

The landscape around him rapidly receded. Li Qingshan felt like he was as fast as the wind, but whenever he looked back, the streak of light would grow closer. A while later, it had already closed the distance to fifty kilometers.

Li Qingshan said to Xuanyue, “This can’t continue. You should go first!”

Xuanyue said, “What are you saying? We’re almost there.”

Li Qingshan said, “If this continues, he’ll catch up to us. You should go to the Dragon province by yourself!”

Xuanyue glanced at Li Qingshan and nodded heavily. “Then be careful, Big Blacko. Don’t be killed by that person!” In the next moment, she vanished. Who knows where she had moved to.

Li Qingshan immediately withdrew his aura and changed directions, rushing towards the east.

He was not planning on sacrificing himself for the Xuanyue’s sake. The sword immortal was so powerful that he had no chance at opposing him at all. If he caught up, the sword immortal probably would not spare him either after killing Xuanyue. He would be purged as well. Was he supposed to argue to the sword immortal that he was actually a human as well when that happened?

As a result, all he could do was let Xuanyue go first. It was very likely that the sword immortal would choose to hunt down Xuanyue first, so he could use the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression to withdraw his aura. Perhaps he would be able to survive. There was no need for Xuanyue to be dragged down with him. This was the best decision for both of them.

The Soaring Dragon Elder had originally been patrolling through the skies when activity in Black Rat mountain alerted him. However, as conflicts between daemonic beasts were common among the Boundless mountains, he did not pay any special attention to it.

“Daemon General!” The powerful daemon qi that only a Daemon General could possess surged, and only then did he take note of it. He concentrated on his senses, and a while later, an even more powerful daemon qi surged into the air. He immediately responded, piloting his sword in pursuit.

Conflict between daemonic beasts were common, but battles between Daemon Generals were extremely rare. And, Daemon Generals that had undergone a heavenly tribulation were relatively intelligent. They all technically served the same Daemon King, led by various Daemon Commanders. Conflict would never arise so easily.
