189: Demon Sword? Demon Sword!

“Husband, how are you, husband?” Xu Ruoruo looked at the dispirited Shangguan Jing, her face full of worry.

Shangguan Jing was now back in his private lounge, accompanied by a professional physician.

During his previous match with Zhou Huang, he had suffered countless injuries to his body.

However, most of these injuries could be quickly healed, but the internal shock and the depletion caused by his Dantian's overload still required some time to recover.

“I’m fine.”

Shangguan Jing hesitated, but finally waved his hand, suppressing all the worries in his heart.

His wife had just given birth, and he didn't want her to be overly worried.

What Shangguan Jing didn't know was that Xu Ruoruo felt the same way.

Facing the blatant kidnapping by an unknown enemy, her heart was also filled with panic.

But seeing Shangguan Jing, the pillar of their home, looking utterly exhausted at this moment, she also hesitated.

Still, it's better not to tell him.

Silence filled the lounge at this moment.

The infant Shangguan Qing, at this moment, pouted her small mouth, having a belly full of complaints to make.

None of you are speaking, right?

Then I won't speak either.

At worst, we'll all die together later.

Anyway, in the last reincarnation, her parents were already dead by this time.

If not for the kind cultivators from Changli Dynasty who helped her escape in the chaotic world, she might have also kicked the bucket and died.

She knew a great calamity was about to happen.

But this reincarnation already had variables, and she couldn't predict to what extent that predetermined calamity would evolve.

After a long while, Xu Ruoruo and Shangguan Jing exchanged glances, and surprisingly said in unison:

“How about we leave now?”

Upon uttering the words, both of them were stunned.

After a brief moment of being both amused and helpless, relying on their years of understanding each other, they both knew that in the time they hadn't been together, the other must have encountered something.

This place was not suitable for a long stay!

The two reached a tacit understanding and acted immediately. Xu Ruoruo picked up Shangguan Qing and, seeing her still clutching the ring given by Meng Yun, tried to take it from her:

“You’re just a child. It would be terrible if such a valuable item got lost. Mommy will keep it for you first…”

Shangguan Qing was instantly stunned.

Finally, she pulled out her ultimate weapon—her small mouth pursed, and she burst into tears:

“Waaah waaah waaah~”

“Alright, alright, you even snatch things from a child!” Shangguan Jing quickly left a note with spiritual energy, lest his teammates couldn’t find them later: “If our daughter wants to play with it, just let her.”

“I just… I was afraid she’d lose it…”

Xu Ruoruo argued, finally following Shangguan Jing out the door and heading straight for the imperial city's long-distance teleportation array.

…

“What? Two Nascent Souls, one of whom was a formation master, and all their life tokens are shattered?!”

“A bunch of trash, trash!!”

Zhou Huang was already in a bad mood and had been hoping to vent his anger on Xu Ruoruo in bed. Now, upon hearing the news, his rage intensified even further!!

The other team members bowed their heads in silence, not daring to refute Zhou Huang a single word.

Lust is a double-edged sword.

“I’ll go myself!”

After much thought, Zhou Huang finally decided to take a risk. As long as he did this without anyone knowing and left immediately after the finals, no one would ever trace it back to him!

With a single step, he arrived outside the Changli Dynasty's lounge.

After a brief spiritual sense scan, his face immediately darkened.

Because.

The room seemed to be empty.

Pushing the door open.

A note lay on the table:

“My wife just gave birth, and I am severely injured. I have returned to Changli Dynasty to recuperate ahead of time. Do not worry. Shangguan Qing, respectfully submitted.”

The large characters “Respectfully Submitted,” like a mockery, inexplicably stung Zhou Huang’s eyes.

Thinking of Xu Ruoruo’s increasingly alluring figure, Zhou Huang’s heart burned with rage.

Ignoring everything, his figure flickered, and he shot towards the imperial city's teleportation array!

Stop them, he must stop them, and seize her!

As for Shangguan Jing and the infant, he might as well kill them all!

As soon as Zhou Huang stepped out of the foreign guest lounge, he felt a violent tremor in the world!

Deep in the back mountains of Heaven Sword Pavilion, a monstrously fierce aura shot straight into the sky. That wave of energy was so powerful it almost knocked him, several miles away, to the ground!

What kind of terrifying might was this!!

“What?”

“What happened?”

“Holy crap, I just bought a new car!!”

Chaos began to spread throughout the entire dynasty, but the low-level cultivators could not accurately determine what kind of anomaly had occurred in this world!

“Tianjian Dynasty seems to be in turmoil as well…” Zhou Huang stabilized his figure and, after assessing the situation in his mind, showed a joyful expression:

“In these chaotic times, isn’t this exactly what I want?!”

Even if he killed Shangguan Jing amidst the chaos and snatched Xu Ruoruo off the street, he could just blame it on the anomaly afterward and claim ignorance!

It's perfectly reasonable for people from Changli Dynasty to have no strength or fate and die in the anomaly, right?

His powerful strength gave Zhou Huang ample confidence to use more direct methods to achieve his ambitions and satisfy his desires in such a chaotic world!!

“My beauty, I’m coming for you!!”

Zhou Huang shot forth!!

…

Within the Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning Cloud, Meng Yun’s perception of the outside world was almost completely blocked.

Therefore, he could not perceive that the Demon Subduing Sword in the sword forging ground had been inexplicably activated by someone with ill intentions.

At this very moment, he was staring intently at the lightning tiger, enveloped in seven-colored light, before him.

Encounter a rainbow, devour the rainbow!

If he could capture and instantly refine this thing too, wouldn't he have gathered the Azure Dragon and White Tiger in his current body!?

Azure Dragon on the left, White Tiger on the right, and a foolish one in the middle!

Perhaps, if this trend continued, the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise would also be a matter of moments!

“Hehehe, Uncle, I really love White Tigers…”

Meng Yun rubbed his hands, speaking flirtatiously, but his expression became serious.

He flicked his left finger, and a cluster of golden-red flames burst forth from his body, expanding rapidly into a fiery cauldron against the wind.

Heaven and Earth Smelting Furnace Cauldron!

This was not all.

Meng Yun extended his right hand and looked at the blood-red demonic patterns winding like small snakes on his Qilin arm, a look of anticipation on his face:

“Come on, let me see what’s so unique about your Locking Heaven power!”

“Demonic Seed, Locking Heaven!!”

Monstrous chains extended from his right arm, moving as if an extension of himself, piercing through the void from all directions and enveloping the Seven-Colored Tribulation Lightning Tiger, locking it down!

…

Heaven Sword Pavilion Plaza.

Since Chen Jintong’s Vatican Heart Salvation had ended, cultivators exited the time-stop state.

Countless people looked towards the back mountain, their faces filled with horror:

“This aura… it’s the Demon Subduing Sword!” As a Divine Smith’s successor, Chen Jintong was naturally extremely familiar with this aura.

But clearly, the aura emanating from the Demon Subduing Sword at this moment should perhaps be more aptly called the Demonic Sword Apophis!

Including the Emperor and the Pavilion Master, countless people looked towards the back mountain.

There, a figure was approaching, treading on air, holding the Demon Subduing Sword.
