Chapter 62: Violently Beautiful
Such an aura...
They are those fellows from the southwest!
Three women and two men, one grand demon at the sixth-tier cultivation level, two grand demons at the fifth-tier, and another two at the fourth-tier!
Such strength could not be described as anything less than formidable!
The woman in the yellow dress flew at the very front, her sixth-tier grand demon cultivation fully displayed!
The scorched earth on the ground rose into the air, mingling with their wrath.
Watching them, the corner of the Demon Sovereign's eye twitched slightly.
"Hmph, this Sovereign's strategy was foolproof; it is simply that you lot emerged a bit too hastily."
"Had you waited until they had walked far away before coming out, we would certainly have been able to blend in and retreat successfully!"
"Brother Demon Sovereign speaks the truth! It is all our fault! Fortunately, it is merely these fellows. If there were any more, it would indeed become troublesome."
"Heh, you must admit, they arrived right on time—our harvest has grown even larger!"
On the ground, the Demon Sovereign and the others wore utterly nonchalant expressions, showing not the slightest trace of panic; instead, they grew excited.
To the members of the Fushu Sect, such a scene was nothing short of blatant humiliation!
"You lot, did what you just said mean that we, too, are to become part of your harvest? Food in your mouths?"
A long sword had already materialized and been tightly gripped in the hand of the yellow-dressed woman, Huang Sheng. As she spoke, an ethereal fairy aura emanated from her, and her formidable strength was beyond doubt.
The Empress gave a grand wave of her hand, her spiritual energy expelling the bloodstains from her white robe while erasing the bizarre makeup from her face. She rose straight up from the ground, gazing ahead.
The Fushu Sect members, who had been boiling with rage just a moment ago, instantly fell silent.
"Heavens, a Celestial!"
"This—this beauty is so breathtakingly unfair!"
"My goodness, is there actually someone in this world even prettier than Sister Sheng?"
Hearing her junior sister's words, although anger surged within Huang Sheng's heart, it quickly subsided.
For before the Empress, the beauty she took such pride in was something she herself felt utterly ashamed to display at this moment!
Following the shock was an overwhelming wave of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"What a stunning yet venomous woman! It seems you stuffed the corpses of the two sects' members into your storage ring just now, didn't you?"
"Even if you are merely a third-tier grand demon, what is wrong with me shredding your face to pieces?!"
The long sword broke free from her grip, encircled by flowing water!
Sword energy, sword momentum, and vital Qi combined into one—such a formidable move greatly boosted the confidence of the Fushu Sect members.
"I wonder how many people have wished to shred My face, yet in the end, every single one of them became a ghost beneath My sword."
"Adding one more of you makes little difference."
"Human Emperor Sword."
In the sky, a giant silvery-white sword blotted out the sun, appearing before everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
The tyranny and majesty contained within it looked down upon the Fushu Sect members as if holding absolute contempt for all living beings!
The moment the Human Emperor Sword descended, the ferocious incoming sword move instantly disintegrated and vanished into thin air!
The members of the Fushu Sect were utterly astonished!
"How is this possible! Sister Sheng is at the sixth-tier cultivation level!"
"Indeed, even Senior Brother Hao, a seventh-tier grand demon, would find it difficult to neutralize that Weak Water Sword so effortlessly!"
"This beauty... what on earth is the background of this bitch?!"
With a single strike, the Empress's might shocked several formidable enemies before her.
Yet they could hardly be blamed for their profound shock.
After all, for a third-tier grand demon to deal with a sixth-tier grand demon with such effortless ease was something anyone would find difficult to accept.
Moreover, they were regular troops with powerful backers and ample resources, naturally far more formidable than ordinary rogue cultivators.
Yet the reality was right before their eyes, even if accepting it seemed nearly impossible.
"Kill her!"
The pure-looking woman was pure no longer; a fierce, chilling light flashed in her eyes, and her facial features even distorted slightly.
The long sword that had previously dissipated reappeared in her hand, jets of water erupting from the blade, pointing directly at the Empress.
"Everyone, finish this swiftly lest other riff-raff have not yet gone far and come back to meddle."
"As for this little bitch, I shall crush her to death with my own hands."
"Hmph! You are hardly fit to command this Sovereign! I shall kill those two fifth-tier grand demons; the rest are yours!"
"Ah? There are so many of us, and only two of them? That's hardly enough to fight!"
"Less nonsense! Do you really take us for Brother Demon Sovereign and Sister Empress?"
"Precisely, they can put on airs, but we certainly have no right to do so! Damn it!"
"Holy crap! They're coming! Charge!"
As they spoke, Xiaocui and Huazui had already surged forward first, moving at astonishing speed without the slightest timidity.
Glutton followed closely behind, his momentum equally soaring.
Should they lose, the resources they had worked so bitterly hard to acquire through acting would all go down the drain.
If they did not fight with their lives now, when would they?
The battlefield, which had just quieted down, once again stirred up a bloody storm.
The Empress and Huang Sheng fought to a standstill, neither able to do anything to the other.
And this, undoubtedly, made Huang Sheng even more furious.
Every single move and stance she executed was fiercer and more violent than the last.
Yet despite this, with a white dragon on her left, a giant elephant on her right, the Human Emperor Sword above her head, and the Dragon Emperor Sword in her hand, the Empress vaguely suppressed Huang Sheng, despite the latter's sixth-tier grand demon cultivation!
Her rage burning beyond endurance, Huang Sheng could hold back no longer, reaching out her slender jade hands to tear her own garments apart!
The next moment, she transformed into her true form—none other than a civet cat!
Seeing this, the Empress was in no rush to reveal her own true form, remaining as calm and composed as ever...
On the other side, the Demon Sovereign fought two opponents at once, though it was not as effortless as one might have imagined.
Yet his bizarre, unfathomable arts caused the man and woman to suffer immensely, eventually forcing them to transform into their true forms as well.
On the verge of life and death, the battle grew increasingly fierce.
Xiaocui and the others surrounded the two fourth-tier grand demons, and while it was not an outright crushing defeat, they firmly held the upper hand.
"Junior Brother Meng!"
Suddenly, a trail of blood drew the attention of the Fushu Sect members.
The body of the rabbit demon was the first to be torn open.
Before he could react, his body was already riddled with holes, blood spraying like a geyser!
"Junior Brother Meng! Ah! I'll kill you all!"
"Hmph! Neither of you were a match for us before; now that you're all alone, how dare you spout such arrogant nonsense!"
"Courting death!"
Suddenly, countless blooming flowers spun through the air, tightly binding the ant demon!
Several sword techniques pressed the attack, piercing into the floral vortex and splashing droplets of blood!
Above, a towering mountain suppressed the heavens, crashing down mightily!
In an instant, the ant demon's aura vanished entirely, its life thoroughly extinguished.
The next moment, a crisp "crack" echoed out, drawing the gazes of Xiaocui and the others.
The Demon Sovereign had actually torn the horns off the demonic bull with his bare hands and shoved them directly into his mouth!
Beside him lay the corpse of a Yunling sheep!
"Little white bird, are you alright? It is merely a sixth-tier cultivation level—could it be you cannot even win against that?"
"If you cannot manage it, let this Sovereign..."
"Hoh, I cannot win? I was merely toying with her."
"Snow Baby, come back."
As the words fell, Snow Baby, which had been locked in combat with the civet cat, leaped back, licking its paws just like a cat.
Seemingly sensing the Empress's intent, Snow Baby's pupils flashed with a scarlet, bloody light.
This time, it charged forward accompanied by the dragon and elephant!
