Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1420: Life Hanging by a Thread

Shui Lingling walked over and looked at the Demon corpses on the ground. As she studied those saber wounds, she found them somewhat familiar.

"The Shadowless Saber Sovereign did this?"

An Junxi nodded and said, "That should be right; it should be him—the new Saber Sovereign. Aside from the previous Saber Sovereign Wu Xiaotian, no one knows who he is. Right now, he is the most mysterious person in the Kunlun Realm."

"However, why did he save Bai Wuxue? There is no relation or friendship. He also killed so many people from three Demon Royal Halls. Even a Sovereign Martial Emperor would not dare to be so ruthless. Being so heavy-handed, is he really not afraid of the Demon Monarchs' revenge?" Shui Lingling could not understand, a trace of doubt crossing her gentle-looking face.

Right now, the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World had yet to reach the point of truly fighting with each other. Some of the true major characters still remained hidden. There seemed to be some vague tacit understanding with the eighteen Demon Monarchs of the Demonic World. However, this Shadowless Saber Sovereign did not seem to care about this.

The way this person did things was very similar to that of a certain person Shui Lingling knew. However…

When thinking of that person, Shui Lingling felt somewhat sad. Four years ago, she went to Heavenly Star Island once. At that time, Xiao Chen was feeling very down, and guilt occupied his heart. Now that so many years had passed, she still had not heard any news of him and did not know where he had gone.

According to Shui Lingling's master, Xiao Chen had undergone a nirvanic rebirth, so the hidden damages of his body were healed; he no longer had the problem of having only ten years of lifespan if he did not advance to Martial Emperor within five years from the moment he discovered the problem. However, his hiding and fleeing like that, with no news of him at all, made those who cared for him worry.

This was the reason why Shui Lingling rarely showed herself for the past few years.

This time, if not for Bai Wuxue weighing out the pros and cons, as well as the instructions of her master, Shui Lingling would not have appeared here.

An Junxi kneaded his temples and said, "There are a lot of suspicious points. However, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign's way of doing things has always been unpredictable. There is no need to try guessing anything. We just need to know he is not an enemy…"

As An Junxi spoke, he suddenly noticed that Shui Lingling was not listening to him at all, entering a daze.

An Junxi could not help smiling bitterly. "Thinking of Brother Xiao Chen again?"

Shui Lingling recovered her wits and glared at An Junxi before ignoring him.

"Don't worry. Brother Xiao Chen is a person with great fortune. Nothing will happen to him. The Kunlun Realm is so big. Not being able to find him is normal. There is no need to worry so much."

Shui Lingling glared at An Junxi again and said, "Who asked you anything?"

"Whoosh!"

After speaking, Shui Lingling boarded her Profound Sun Bird and set off in pursuit of the three Demon Royal Halls' people.

An Junxi frowned slightly and muttered, "Don't press them too hard. Even dogs can leap over a wall when pressed too hard. The three Demon Royal Halls definitely still have trump cards."

At this moment, after sending Bai Wuxue out of the war chariot, Xiao Chen did not know that two old friends had appeared in the Savage Battlefield. He closed his eyes and cultivated.

Xiao Chen was still rather interested in what Qing Yun said in the Saber Sovereign Medallion. He refined his Primordial Energy so that he could open those gates as soon as possible.

After many rounds of refinement, the one thousand strands of Primordial Energy in Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor had already turned from simple threads to something much thicker.

The purple Primordial Energy gave off a faint brilliance as it moved around that mysterious Emperor's Door.

The Emperor's Door remained tightly shut, showing no hint of opening at all.

However, the more that was so, the more curious one would get. What would happen after it opened? Would Xiao Chen advance to Prime directly? Would he explode and die? Would he end up opening a completely different path?

The unknown always piqued one's curiosity and interest.

After circulating his energy for a small cycle, Xiao Chen stopped cultivating. After all, the Savage Battlefield was not very safe, and he could not truly cultivate in peace to circulate a great cycle.

The problem of where to go to next was worth considering.

Honestly speaking, Xiao Chen was still rather interested in the Dragon Burial Mound. At the very least, the True Dragon remains were very tempting to him, who cultivated the Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art.

While on the bloody Emperor's Road, Xiao Chen's physical body was strengthened nine times and was already as strong as a Sovereign Martial Emperor's Golden Emperor Body. This raised a roadblock in the cultivation of his Azure Dragon Body Nourishing Art. Even until now, he still had not broken through to the third layer.

The reason was not difficult to figure out. Now that his physical body was stronger, the requirements for advancement became even higher.

For Xiao Chen now, treasures like dragon bones would be insufficient, no matter how many there were. However, there would still be opportunities in the future. Right now, it was best to leave this land of trouble.

Just as Xiao Chen was about to leave, two extremely strong auras suddenly covered the entire place, directly sealing the space.

Xiao Chen's expression did not change. The seven Divine Weapons of the Cycle War Chariot trembled slightly, and the curtains swayed despite the absence of wind.

"Whoosh!"

Two figures descended in front. One wore long scarlet robes—clearly a Blood Demon Martial Emperor. The other wore flowing white clothes and showed a frosty expression. The purple mark on this person's forehead was like an icy fire burning.

"Eighth Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperors!" Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised. However, he immediately calmed down.

The Blood Demon Monarch and Snow Demon Monarch were really fast. He had just reached the Savage Battlefield, and they already discovered him. They even invested a lot of resources into this, directly using Eighth Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperors.

If these two got careless and fell in the Kunlun Realm, it would cause the two Demon Monarchs heartache.

Be it the Kunlun Realm or the Demonic World, Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors were people who stood at the top of the pyramid. At times of crisis, they were people who could take charge.

Xiao Chen did not fluster. Although he could not defeat Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors, there were still many ways for him to leave.

"Shadowless Saber Sovereign, there is probably no need to explain our purpose in looking for you. Hand over the Destruction Throne and the Eternal Ice and swear not to interfere in the fight between the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic World. After that, the grudges between you and the Demonic World can come to an end," the Blood Shadow Sovereign, Wang Feng's royal uncle, said straightforwardly.

The white-clad Snow Demon did not say anything. However, a clump of ice flame burned ferociously and intensely in his palm.

The temperature immediately plummeted. Snow fell from the sky, and the rocks on the ground became sealed in ice. After that, the pressure from the Emperor's Might crushed them into shards.

This clearly indicated that the white-clad person was prepared to attack at any time, not intending to communicate with Xiao Chen at all.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He sensed that these two Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors were extraordinary, far beyond ordinary Sovereign Martial Emperors. At the very least, they were much stronger than the Fire Demon Royal Hall's Dao Protector.

It looks like the Demonic World is moving their true forces, seeing me as a thorn in their flesh, someone who needs to be eradicated.

"The two of you are considered major characters of the Demonic World, and yet you come to the Kunlun Realm so openly. Are you not afraid of being killed by Primes?" Xiao Chen temporized as he thought about countermeasures.

The Blood Shadow Sovereign smiled and said, "If we were dealing with someone else, we might not dare to come. However, you are someone whose origins are questionable and do not have anyone backing you. Which Prime would be willing to make a move for you?"

This made sense too. Just as Xiao Chen was about to answer, he suddenly noticed something wrong.

"Boom!"

Xiao Chen saw a clump of ice cloud shatter. An Iron Demon Martial Emperor plummeted from the sky with a fist clenched, looking like a mountain falling.

What a fellow. It turns out that the white-clad Snow Demon's actions were to distract me and cover up the presence of this Iron Demon, so that they can kill me in one strike.

These three Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors never intended to let me live at all. Even if I had handed over the Destruction Throne and the Eternal Ice, they would still have continued to hunt me down.

When Xiao Chen delayed, he had given the other party a chance, falling into their trap.

Xiao Chen did not have any time to think. The Iron Demon's target was very precise—the roof of the Cycle War Chariot.

A loud boom resounded when the Iron Demon's fist, which flickered with a metallic sheen, struck the Cycle War Chariot.

"Ka ca! Ka ca!"

This punch instantly embedded the Cycle War Chariot into the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust. The place immediately looked like it was utterly destroyed.

"Icy Demon Flame Sword!"

The white-clad Snow Demon attacked at practically the same time. The snow flying all about gathered into a sword that burned with an icy black flame. Then, he thrust the sword in the direction of the Cycle War Chariot.

The sword grew to about three hundred meters long and stabbed upright into the ground. Ice sealed the ground for five thousand kilometers around. A cold wind blew and heavy snow fell.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The three figures flashed quickly. When they reached the place where the Icy Demon Flame Sword had stabbed, they sent out their Mental Energy to check Xiao Chen's condition.

"Hehe! Is he dead yet?" the Eighth Heaven Iron Demon asked, chortling foolishly.

The white-clad Snow Demon said, "He won't die so easily. That war chariot of his is no ordinary treasure. However, even if he is not dead, he will at least be severely injured. He is not a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor."

"I found him! However, my Mental Energy is blocked off, and I can not tell his current condition," the Blood Shadow Sovereign said with a grave expression.

"Good. In that case, let's send him on his way!"

The white-clad Snow Demon leaped into the air and jumped onto the Icy Demon Flame Sword. The tall sword quickly sank into the ground, stabbing further in.
