Eternal Saber

Chapter 649: Chapter 70: One Blade at the Summit

Bashish Red Peak glanced at the battlefield outside Celestial Gate City, bodies everywhere, blood flowing like rivers, his heart burning with anger, his intent to kill boiling over.

Since the great war with the Wu Dynasty decades ago, the Barbarian Race has retreated to the Northern Desert, recuperating for decades, never having encountered such a defeat with such heavy casualties.

He even saw the corpses of several giant elephants, and dozens of Ox Demon Heavy Cavalry.

And several carts of provisions almost completely burned to ashes.

Without supply provisions, the impact on the battle situation is immense!

Unless the Mad Lion Army can swiftly capture Liangzhou and plunder food and wealth recklessly there, they won’t be able to maintain their advantage and daily supplies.

Otherwise, the one hundred thousand troops of the Mad Lion Tribe will have to retreat.

Bashish Red Peak stared at the blood-stained young man not far away, his murderous intent almost palpable.

This man must be the Demon Monarch mentioned in the intelligence reports!

Just relying on this man and the several hundred mismatched soldiers behind him, can they really rout the Barbarian Race’s army with elephant arrays and Ox Demon Heavy Cavalry, leaving them utterly defeated?

It must be a Grandmaster who’s intervened to create such a terrifying scene.

Feng Xu from Wusun Country is already crippled, it can’t be him.

Could it be the Great Celestial Demon and the Death Demon from the Demon Sect?

Or perhaps...the Demon Venerable himself?

Thinking of this possibility, Bashish Red Peak instantly calmed down.

The thought brought terror, making him break out in a cold sweat.

He arrived here but didn’t act, cautious and constantly surveying the surroundings, staying alert out of concern that a formidable enemy might be lurking nearby!

After all, they did just this in Wusun Country not long ago.

Yet, after searching for a long time, he still couldn’t determine anything.

Everything seemed to make him jumpy, as if seeing shadows everywhere.

It’s not that he was frightening himself with wild thoughts.

Even his steed ’Ten Thousand Miles Cloud,’ seemed restless and uneasy upon arrival, perhaps sensing something.

This Ten Thousand Miles Cloud was a rare Divine Steed, intelligent and highly perceptive.

Such a steed is most sensitive to danger and wouldn’t exhibit such unusual reactions for no reason.

Bashish Red Peak thought again.

If the Demon Venerable truly came, he wouldn’t be hiding so covertly.

With the cultivation of the Demon Venerable, killing him would be as simple as showing up once.

Thus, it should be one of the Celestial Demon or the Death Demon lurking nearby!

Just then, not far off, the young Demon Monarch charged forward resolutely on a tall, uniquely horned horse.

Seeing this, Bashish Red Peak believed his speculation even more.

There must be a Grandmaster hiding nearby, or else, with his Third Grade Meridian Passage Realm cultivation, how would this Demon Monarch dare charge at him?

With these thoughts, Bashish Red Peak turned his horse ready to withdraw from here!

But before he could react, his steed Ten Thousand Miles Cloud suddenly neighed loudly, glaring at the man and horse opposite with apparent anger, then dashed forward.

"Hey! Hey!"

Bashish Red Peak hurriedly pulled the reins, trying to control Ten Thousand Miles Cloud, commanding: "This way, don’t go there!"

But Ten Thousand Miles Cloud seemed mad, completely uncontrollable, rushing forward non-stop!

After all, this was the leader of the Mad Lion Tribe’s mount, he didn’t dare use heavy-handed tactics.

If he left it behind, returning without Ten Thousand Miles Cloud would be hard to explain.

Both Divine Steeds have incredibly terrifying speed, charging towards each other, reaching near in a blink!

As Thunder Leopard charged forward, Chen Tang had already realized.

Chances are, the Grandmaster’s mount across is female, and Thunder Leopard is in heat.

And indeed, that mount didn’t seem ordinary either.

Ordinary steeds, even the Dayuan Horse, would scatter upon seeing Thunder Leopard.

The mount opposite seemed provoked by Thunder Leopard, rushing over instead.

"Did you flirt with it, look how angry they are over there,"

Chen Tang joked and cursed, but didn’t dare lose focus.

At the critical moment they crossed paths, Chen Tang instantly entered the Divine Illumination State, eyes bright and glowing, emanating a golden light, becoming majestic and fierce!

Vajra’s Wrathful Gaze!

Pupil Technique hardly causes harm to people.

But the advantage it has over Sound Attack Technique is its instantaneous emission, hard to defend against.

Sound Strike Technique always has some initial motion and signs.

But Pupil Technique bursts forth instantly, born from thoughts!

"Huh?"

Bashish Red Peak felt Chen Tang’s gaze piercing, subconsciously trying to avoid it.

Swish!

At that moment, saber light flashed.

Burning Wood and Sky!

Facing the Grandmaster, Chen Tang held nothing back, immediately using his killer move!

And Bashish Red Peak had just avoided Chen Tang’s gaze.

The timing of this saber was exquisite, perfect to a hair’s breadth.

Though Bashish Red Peak didn’t see it with his eyes, he still sensed the danger approaching, sniffing the scent of death!

As a Grandmaster, having already Entered the Divine State, it’s like opening the Celestial Eye.

No time to think, Bashish Red Peak couldn’t even lift his hand to defend, could only bend down, shrunken neck, lowering himself drastically like a turtle, avoiding the saber aimed at his throat.

Sss!

Bashish Red Peak first felt a chill on his scalp.

Even though he dodged quickly, Chen Tang still shaved off a large patch of hair, fluttering away in the wind.

So close!

If he were even slightly slower, his skull would have been half-cleaved!

Bashish Red Peak broke out in sweat immediately.

This kid’s saber is fast!

The next moment, Bashish Red Peak felt a burning pain on top of his head.

He urgently reached up to touch the top of his head.

His skull was exposed fully.

Not to mention, the bald patch was scorched black by Chen Tang’s Burning Wood Saber.

The smell of burning pig skin permeated, pungent and unpleasant.

"Ahhh, you little beast, you’re doomed to die!"

Bashish Red Peak roared furiously, his eyes instantly red.

He’s been through countless life and death moments in his cultivation.

Yet, when has he ever suffered such humiliation?

A Third Grade Meridian Passage kid, shaved him bald with a saber!

How would he face people back at camp?

Bashish Red Peak planned to leave, but after suffering such a loss, his fury and killing intent surged.

"Kill!"

Bashish Red Peak spurred his horse forward, roaring, grabbing a pair of giant Golden Hammers from the saddle, charging at Chen Tang.

Just after they crossed paths, Chen Tang inwardly lamented.

The Vajra’s Wrathful Gaze barely impacted Bashish Red Peak.

If his Power of the Divine Soul was stronger, perhaps Vajra’s Wrathful Gaze could have shocked Bashish Red Peak, leading to momentary panic and revealing a flaw.

Thus, he might have decapitated him with one strike!

Or, if the cultivation of "Burning Wood Saber" reached the Eighth Layer, with every saber engulfed in fire, there might’ve been a chance for immediate success.

Ultimately, it’s still lacking.

Seeing Bashish Red Peak charging, Chen Tang dared not underestimate him

The man already knew of his fast saber, taking precautions, the real test begins now.
