Chapter 15 - Fang Jiange of Swords Gate (2/2)

The white light flashed through the unclosed gateway portal, and the next moment, an elder in white robes could be seen standing in front of the gateway portal. He looked frustratingly and angrily at the demon lady, his face changed and impulsively said, "Qi Practitioner of the Tian Elephant demon? The Demon Ruins is barren of the spirit of heaven and earth… how is it possible for you to become a Qi Practitioner? Damn it!"

The elder in white robes was one of the two elders guarding the Swords Gate's gateway portal. He quickly collected his thoughts and shouted fiercely, "Ring the bells at once! The worship of the demons to this forsaken land has given birth to demonic spirits!"

On the other side of the gateway portal, the other elder quickly reacted and promptly rang the bells. The tolls of the bell could then be faintly heard coming from the gateway portal.

"Old human bastard, you are quite clever!"

The demon lady chuckled, and while she swung her trunk toward the elder, she laughingly said, "But it is too late now, the Tian Myriad Mother will be revived soon. It's futile to resist even after Swords Gate knows about this!"

"Tian Myriad Mother!?"

The white-robed elder face changed drastically, and after another white flash, the other elder guardian rushed into the Demon Ruins. Together, they dashed forward and unleashed their full strengths to kill the demon lady.

The three Qi Practitioners fought in front of the gateway portal. Each of them cast incredible skills and performing earth-shattering techniques. The demon lady then straightforwardly cast the [Human-Spirit As One] and transformed into a peculiar elephant with four heads and eight arms with a height of a hundred feet tall, after which she continued fighting frantically with the two elder guardians.

The two elder guardians also cast [Human-Spirit As One], and each respectively turned into a winged celestial being and a celestial being mounted atop the back of a black turtle with a snake on his back. The aura and the energy force released by the trio's battle forced Zhong Yue and the others from a few miles away to keep backing off. This pushed them ever further away from the gateway portal and also hindered their path of escape.

"Swords Gate's elders huh?"

Suddenly, huge waves of fiery demonic energy emerged, shooting in all directions like arrows and an elder failed to evade one of the demonic energy projectiles and was hit by one. As soon as he was hit, he could feel his blood essence starting to be drained by the demonic energy projectile and his flesh seemingly being corroded by the pernicious and fiery demonic energy!

Somewhere not far away were demonic clouds amalgamated from demonic energy and a man in black robes standing on the cloud, his face hidden in the shadows. He said, "Elders from the Swords Gate! Such strong blood essence, you live up to our expectations of quality cattle that was fattened up for many years waiting to be sacrificed for our ritual!"

Wave after wave of demonic energy coalesced into an uncountable number of tentacles, surrounding the other Swords Gate's elder and continuing to stab at the direction of the elder. After a brief moment, the elder was stabbed by one of the tentacles, and he too felt his blood essence being drained and his flesh being corroded.

"Who are you!" shouted the angry and frustrated elders.

"This… you don't need to know."

The black robe Qi Practitioner continued laughing, and suddenly, the two elders' flesh and soul were siphoned out completely, leaving behind two lifeless skeletons!

"The blood essence of these two elders of Swords Gate is enough to revive Tian Myriad Mother!"

The black robe Qi Practitioner then flew away while laughing. Before getting out of sight entirely, his voice could be heard saying, "My children, kill those human cattle on the altar and begin the ritual!"

Seven miles away from the Swords Gate's gateway portal, Zhong Yue, Ting Lanyue, He Chengchuan and the others remained blank-faced, and He Chengchuan said, "The two elder guardians are dead…"

"Hehehe, so that's where you are, little humans."

A huge shadow emerged and covered up the skies above them. Zhong Yue looked above and saw the demon lady that transformed into the four-headed elephant with eight hands—the elephant devil god was standing in front of them!

At the same time, the demon lady said with a loud voice like thunder, "You little kids were just decoys, we had our eyes set upon the two elder guardians. Only with their blood essence will we be able to revive Tian Myriad Mother in her strongest state!"

How did the Demon Ruins' demons know that two elder guardians were protecting the gateway portal! No, it can't be….

Zhong Yue's face changed slightly, he looked up and said, "Someone informed you about them! There are traitors within the Swords Gates!"

"What a smart piece of livestock!"

The Tian Elephant demon lady praised Zhong Yue and said, "But you all have to die here. What a shame…" She then swung her trunk heavily toward Zhong Yue and the others.

Zhong Yue's face turned in acquiescence and thought, I guess Xin Huo has to use my body to fight now…

Before the trunk of the demon lady could even strike them, a wound opened up at her forehead, and a Sword Qi could be seen flying out from her head.

Shua!

The long and mighty Sword Qi flew for another mile before disappearing altogether. The demon lady opened her eyes wildly, and her corpse slammed onto the ground heavily, causing the earth to tremble unceasingly!

A Qi Practitioner in white could then be seen walking toward them in the air and looked toward the deepest part of the Demon Ruins. At the direction where he was looking, the immediate vicinity surrounding the altar was saturated with a thick blood mist. And within the blood mist, stood an enormously huge body whose outline could be faintly seen from afar!

Those demons in the Demon Ruins had killed the thousands of upper house disciples like they were livestock and apathetically sacrificed them to the Tian Myriad Mother!

"Fu Shan, bring me my sword!"

The Qi Practitioner in white then said calmly. As soon as he finished talking, a loud rumbling sound could be heard, and when Zhong Yue and the others looked toward its direction. They witnessed a colossal turtle the size of a mountain slowly moving toward them. Fissures cracked open on the ground as its footsteps were concomitant with a cacophonous rumbling sound; the mountains splintered as the turtle walked past them!

On the top of the turtle shell, was a sword glowing brightly.

"Tian Myriad Mother from ten millennia ago?"

The Qi Practitioner then opened up his hands, and the sword shined even brighter and landed on his hands. As the sword flew away from the turtle's back, the turtle visibly relaxed and its movement became even faster.

"Swords Gate's Fang Jiange, asking for the teachings of Tian Myriad Mother!"
