Chapter 216: Heavenly Devil Real Body, Demi-Mysterious Realm (2/2)

But Mie Chen was different. As one of the Three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan, he had traveled freely in this world for hundreds of years. With his identity, status, power and all that he had inherited from the Northern Dark Sect, he knew almost all the secrets in this world.

So he knew the power of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword!

This special technique, even in the era when experts of the Mysterious Realm were seen as frequently as dogs, was known as the most destructive and devastating.

The so-called ”Supreme Swordplay” came from it.

In this world, ”Supreme Swordplay” meant that once one's sword skill was cultivated to the highest state, then with one sword, he could be unbeatable alone, without any Gang Qi, celestial device or other secret skills or special techniques. For swordsmen aiming to reach the highest sword state, these extra devices and skills should not be used. They were all burdens and hindered their progress.

Nowadays, this kind of swordsman was rare but there were still a few. For example, the leader of the Golden Lights Cave was a typical representative.

But in a previous era, tens of thousands of years ago, the ”Supreme Swordplay” referred only to the Sword Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.

The Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was the Supreme Swordplay!

These two expressions together referred not to the sword skill, but to Sword Qi and sword intent which could destroy and separate everything.

At the same time, Mie Chen also knew that Wang She had just newly cultivated the Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword and he hadn't gotten the insights of the intent of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword yet. If he had, Mie Chen's hand would definitely have been crushed.

He began to hesitate. Wang She had used the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.

If the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was part of Wang She's private collection, it was not a big deal. He could just kill him. But if this technique had been controlled by the Tian Long Taoism, then he had to think twice.

Tian Long Taoism was of the same status and power as the Palace of Destruction Demon in the Northern Dark Sect. Both sects had their own outstanding secret Arts and several old masters whose cultivation had reached the Mysterious Realm. Neither could really prevail over the other. But this Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword might break the balance.

He had now cultivated the Heavenly Devil Real Body. But tens of thousands of years ago, a saint in the Dark Sect who had accomplished the Highest Heavenly Devil had been split by the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, never mind his Heavenly Devil Real Body.

He was not only one of the three Grandmasters in Northern Yuan, but also the leader of the Northern Dark Sect and head of the Palace of Destruction Demon. He must think carefully before acting. Though since its birth, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword had only been fully cultivated by one person, who could guarantee that there would not be a second one? Besides, just as not all people could fully cultivate the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, there were many who could not fully cultivate the Highest Heavenly Devil, either.

The Qi of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword was originally an unethical Sword Qi which would destroy whatever it came across.

Now, I have good reason for killing Wang She here and Tian Long Taoism can say nothing about this. But what about in the future?

After the Northern Dark Sect migrated to the prairie 30,000 years ago, it had always been a powerful backing for the whole area while receiving support from the prairie. But now it seemed that it was all over.

He knew clearly that Northern Yuan was over. The reason why he furiously hunted Wang She down had not just been to express his anger. In fact, he believed that even though Northern Yuan was really finished, the Great Jin couldn't do anything to the Palace of Destruction Demon considering the strength of the Palace. The most possible result might be that the Great Jin expanded Northern Yuan and then the Palace of the Destruction Demon would become an existence like the Tian Long Taoism or the Mingyi School. Even if the Great Jin wanted to do something to the Palace, they didn't have enough power. Just look at the Sect of Flame: If the Great Jin really had enough power, the Sect of Flame should have been destroyed ages ago.

Therefore, he was not afraid of the Great Jin. Neither did he worry that Northern Yuan would be swallowed up by the Great Jin. But he was indeed afraid of Tian Long Taoism!

He might not have been afraid of it before, but now he was. ”What if this Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword really is controlled by the Tian Long Taoism? What if someone actually masters the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword in the future? What if that someone happens to be an unreasonable guy?”

Tian Long Taoism was reasonable, but it was good at training unreasonable guys who, once they'd mastered the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, might go and try their swords on the Palace of Destruction Demon. That would be the real trouble!

”What's wrong with this old dog?”

Seeing that Mie Chen was just standing in the air thinking rather than going to chase Wang She, Junior Leopard was confused. He had knocked Wang She out of the sky and given him a crippling strike. It was a great opportunity for him. As long as he continued, it was very likely that he could keep Wang She in the valley forever. But why had he stopped?

As Junior Leopard thought too simply, he couldn't understand Mie Chen's distant concern.

”Could this guy have also been injured heavily by Wang She? Wang She was a tough opponent. Maybe he was recovering. But since Mie Chen isn't going to continue, this is a good chance for me!”

It was indeed a good chance!

If Mie Chen was indeed badly injured and regulating his breathing in the air, it was definitely the perfect chance for Junior Leopard. Though the Heavenly Devil Real Body was still above Mie Chen and he was surrounded by the Nine Yin Blackdragon Smoke Gang, Junior Leopard was not afraid. It was useless to be afraid.

No matter what Mie Chen was thinking or why he remained still, it was a perfect opportunity. Mie Chen would not expect him to take action now.

Now, while Mie Chen had his eyes closed! This was the moment!

Once Mie Chen regained his presence of mind, Junior Leopard would have no chance.

Mie Chen's strength had far exceeded his and Wang She's expectation. Wang She had long regarded Mie Chen as an upper Level Nine expert whose cultivation was only at the peak of Level Nine even though he had been famous for so many years. Wang She had believed that even though he might not beat Mie Chen, he wouldn't lose too heavily. Besides, with the help of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Elixir, he could reach the same cultivation as Mie Chen's temporarily. Consequently, he had agreed with Junior Leopard's idea after knowing what Junior Leopard could do.

But to his surprise, Mie Chen hadn't shown his real strength when hunting him. The three Grandmasters in Northern Yuan, though often referred to together, were not really a united group. There were some old scores among them, and Mie Chen didn't want the other two to know what he really had.

Therefore, Wang She had also underestimated Mie Chen and paid a steep price for it.

Under these circumstances when Mie Chen had shown overwhelming power, even Wang She wouldn't believe that Junior Leopard could kill him with his limited techniques.

Having seen Mie Chen's power, only idiots would try to touch on his nerves. Normal people would stay where they were and wait until he left.

Though Mie Chen had asked Wang She's partner to come out, with the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, Junior Leopard was hiding in a secret place in the valley like a common stone. He was without breath, heartbeat, temperature or any other characteristics of a living thing. If not for his thoughts, he wouldn't even feel his own existence. Junior Leopard was confident that Mie Chen could not find him.

So what he needed to do was to stay hidden and not worry about being found.

If he was anyone else, he might have just stayed hidden.

But he was Junior Leopard!

He came from a different world and had a kind of risk-taking mentality that common people didn't have.

Seeing Mie Chen standing motionless in the air, he thought that it was a great opportunity and he wanted to grasp it.

So he started moving.

QIU! There was a slight sound. But it would easily be covered in the wind and snow.

”What?!” Mie Chen's ear moved slightly. A rare expression of suspicion was seen on his face. Yes, suspicion. When Junior Leopard's hand had reached his back, what he had on his face was still suspicion

WENG! A tightly-woven vibration emitted from Junior Leopard's palm and extended to Mie Chen's.

Black smoke was swirling. Junior Leopard snorted coldly and then disappeared.

”Die!”

It wasn't until this point that Mie Chen's shouting exploded and spread far.

”That was close!” Junior Leopard deployed his Three Realms Division twice, moving over 300 meters each time. Even though the cultivation of his body had reached Level Five, he felt the fierce movement of his blood and Qi and he couldn't help shivering.

That was indeed very close!

Junior Leopard had fully prepared. He had prepared for the second use of the Three Realms Division before he deployed the first one and before that he had also protected himself with the Poison Cold Shield. Otherwise, he could have been fanned down from the air like Wang She. Without the cultivation and body of Level Nine like Wang She, it was very likely that would have died if the black smoke touched him.

Careful as he was, his Poison Cold Shield was still hit by the black smoke. It made his blood and Qi move irregularly and the Poison Cold Shield tremble. With just that one hit, the insidious Gang Qi had nearly passed through the Poison Cold Shield and made him suffer.

But he wasn't suffering. It was Mie Chen who suffered a great deal.

But obviously, the power of the Infinite Trembling Contemplation was not as strong as he had imagined.

The black smoke surrounding Mie Chen in the air suddenly became intense and the Heavenly Devil Real Body above him roared fiercely. Invisible waves spread everywhere and turned everything within a thousand feet into powder!

This was:

The power of the Infinite Trembling Contemplation!
