Chapter 912.3: The Flame and Yellow Emperors (2/2)
……
“Hold on, Flame Emperor wants to kill Yellow Emperor!” Numerous demon gods stirred with renewed interest when they read Lu Yun’s move.
“That little bastard is one of the most sinister and cunning out there. He looks like he wants to kill the Yellow Emperor, but he’s actually tempering his junior’s sword dao!” A frosty light danced in Nuanzi’s eyes as he watched the two emperors face off. “We can only take action from the shadows if we want to kill the current human great emperor, we can’t let the Flame Emperor know who did it! Otherwise, he’ll kill anyone remotely related to whoever raises his suspicions!”
Nuanzi had quietly studied the great dao in the comfort of his home all these decades. He’d finally created a cultivation method suitable for himself and progressed at a tremendous pace after that. He’d exceeded the original Dijiang without the Bell of Chaos, but still didn’t dare offend Lie Shan. While his brethren thought Lie Shan wanted to kill the Yellow Emperor, Nuanzi knew better. This was just an excuse to temper Xuanyuan’s sword dao!
…...
Xuanyuan was scrambling for survival in a laser storm of sword light and almost lost his life a few times. It didn’t take long for him to realize how frightful the Flame Emperor was. If the senior wanted to kill him, it’d only take him one move!
“Keep your mind focused on the task at hand or you’ll really die here.” Lu Yun extracted himself from the situation while nine black dragons soared through space, transforming into layers upon layers of a sword ocean that trapped the great emperor within. Xuanyuan looked very worse for the wear—his imperial robes flapped in tatters and his crown had been smashed to pieces.
“You’ll be able to break out of this sword formation when you ascend to chaos realm,” Lu Yun said coolly. “Your master hasn’t taught you any real skill, so it’s up to me, your martial uncle, to teach you something.”
“Martial uncle?” Xuanyuan goggled.
Bai Zhaoju, Ling Weiyang, Chi Biaonu, and Zhi Guangji were all in closed door cultivation due to their masters’ arrangements. They wouldn’t emerge before they ascended to chaos realm. Upon leaving the Builder Tree, Goumang’s true spirit hㄎ directed Ling Weiyang to another location for seclusion. This left only Xuanyuan.
Since Guang Chengzi hadn’t arranged for his disciple to do anything similar, Lu Yun would act on his behalf.
“You don’t need to worry about humanity for the time being, someone else can fill in your spot for a bit. Just stay here and cultivate in peace.” Lu Yun turned and left the cosmos.
The second he left, an enormous dark hand probed out from the stars and pawed at Emperor Xuanyuan in the middle of the sword formation.
Whoosh!
The nine black sword dragons shot out of the formation and streaked into nine enormous rays of light, slicing and dicing an existence hidden deep within the cosmos.
“As I thought! The little rat’s using the Yellow Emperor as bait to further root out connate demon gods!” yelled Nuanzi. He’d felt the presence of death from the nine dragons just now.
A trap!
The Flame Emperor wasn’t just tempering his junior, but also using the Yellow Emperor as bait in a trap for the connate demon gods!
“This is a formation, Fuxi’s formation!” Demon gods peered at where the nine sword dragons patrolled a certain patch of space, looking upon it with envy, jealousy, greed, and killing intent. “What a pity that the Flame Emperor has fully come into his own and is even more terrifying than Fuxi…”
It made no difference who wielded formations—they were all something that connate demon gods didn’t dare touch.
…….
“The humble daoist greets my martial uncle!” Back in the human capital city, Guang Chengzi hastily bowed at Lu Yun when he saw the human.
“There’s no need for such courtesies, sir!” Jumping with fright, Lu Yun quickly avoided the bow. This was the future forefather of dao! He didn’t dare interact with this elder like he did Daoist Yuyu.
“Martial uncle and my master call each other fellow daoist, so you are my martial uncle.” The venerable daoist looked like an otherworldly elder with youthful features. He smiled merrily at Lu Yun, “This humble daoist had been wondering how to discipline my disciple, but martial uncle has solved the problem for me.”
“Alright, Xuanyuan’s taken care of for the moment. What else does Daoist Hongjun have planned?”
Guang Chengzi nodded slightly. “My master says that the great dao follows nature, so martial uncle should do whatever it is you wish to do. Don’t worry about breaking certain rules.”
“Oh?” Lu Yun brightened.
