Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Just Playing
The Yin and Yang Two Great True Realms didn’t have much interest in slaughtering natives of the Immortal Realm.
In any world where the Heavenly Dao exists, slaughtering countless living beings for no reason will cause Karmic Force to cling to you.
Only someone like Brother Cheng, who even the Heavenly Dao can’t kill, can afford not to care about Karmic Force.
Other people don’t dare be that unrestrained.
With no real benefits to be had, the big shots of the various True Realms couldn’t be bothered to do that.
So they didn’t send Emperor Realm Sixth Layer and above experts from Dark Phecda and the Jiu Jue Sect over to help.
This also led to a standoff between both sides over on the Barbaric Realm’s side.
And the Dark Phecda Demon Emperor and the Jiu Jue Immortal Emperor weren’t exactly on friendly terms.
Right now Jiu Jue was still over in the Barbaric Realm besieging, while Dark Phecda stayed here in the Demon Realm to develop.
As for the former territories of the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm?
Those places had already become battlefields for the top big shots of the Three Great Realms, far beyond what they could get involved in.
"Jiang Cheng, ah Jiang Cheng! Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you?"
The Dark Phecda Demon Emperor was so excited he almost lost himself in glee.
"All these years I’ve been hoping every day, hoping every night, just hoping for your arrival!"
That line made Brother Cheng laugh out loud.
"Haha, you’re way too enthusiastic. Chasing you down back then was just something your bro was supposed to do."
"Just keep your gratitude in your heart and savor it quietly, no need to welcome me this passionately."
Hearing that, the experts of the Realm of Yin in the back, who didn’t know the truth, all wanted to roast him.
The Emperor Realm Fifth Layer late-stage leading them asked with a stern face, "Who is this person?"
Even though he could command this group, his Realm was after all not as high as the other side’s, so Dark Phecda still had to show enough respect.
At those words, he hurriedly explained.
"This person is an old enemy of mine from back when I was in the Immortal Realm."
"He committed every evil imaginable and is recognized in the Immortal Realm as the number one Demon, arrogant to the extreme!"
"Is that so?"
The leader sized Brother Cheng up and down, and his gaze suddenly became a bit suspicious and uncertain. freewebnσvel.cøm
He realized that he actually couldn’t see through Jiang Cheng’s Realm.
This gave him a slight start.
Could it be that he was stronger than himself?
No way, right?
Wasn’t the strongest in this Immortal Realm supposed to be just Emperor Realm Second Layer?
Wasn’t this supposed to be a dimensionality-reduction stomp by the Realm of Yin on a Newbie Village?
One Mang Ye showing up was already an enormous anomaly.
Could there be another one?
"What level of power does this person have? Has he also been cultivating in other True Realms for years?"
At that, Dark Phecda cast Brother Cheng a disdainful glance. "You’re overthinking it. He’s just a native of the Immortal Realm, he only had good luck and plenty of opportunities in the past, that’s all."
"In front of our Realm of Yin, he’s nothing!"
"Is that so?"
The Emperor Realm Fifth Layer leader relaxed a little.
Maybe he was wearing some Treasure that hid his cultivation.
Their conversation didn’t avoid Sect Leader Jiang at all.
Looking at how confident they were, Brother Cheng almost felt a bit of pity.
"So you’re counting on them to help you turn the tables?"
He sighed with a touch of regret. "This time, if you want to run again, I’m afraid that won’t really be possible."
"Run?"
Dark Phecda laughed instead of getting angry.
"Hahahahaha, Jiang Cheng, you look so ridiculous in your ignorance!"
"Do you think this is still the era back then?"
"You frog at the bottom of a well, you don’t even know what the True Realm is, do you?"
"You don’t even know what lies above the Emperor Realm, do you?"
He slowly revealed the Tier Three True Artifact in his hand and proudly waved it in front of Jiang Cheng.
"Can you tell what level of Treasure this is?"
"You don’t understand anything!"
"You’re already outdated, you know that?"
"You think just because you can make Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts you’re amazing?"
"To tell you the truth, Tier Nine Immortal Artifacts are nothing but scrap metal before me now!"
He’d been holding it in for far too many years.
He had imagined countless times how exhilaratingly one-sided it would be when he saw Jiang Cheng again.
He had rehearsed these lines in his heart countless times already.
"Wow!"
Seeing how excited he was, Brother Cheng felt embarrassed not to play along a bit.
So he pretended to marvel. "Looks like you’ve really seen a lot of the world, impressive, impressive."
Dark Phecda was a little annoyed; this wasn’t the reaction he wanted.
He even felt like his act was pearls cast before swine.
The other guy was too "ignorant" to even recognize the goods, completely unaware of what everything he possessed actually meant.
So he shot a look at that Emperor Realm Fifth Layer expert and the other True Realm experts.
"You all stay outside and hold the line, make sure he can’t escape!"
"I’m going to teach him a lesson personally!"
Of course, a Heart Demon had to be removed personally.
Finished speaking, he shook the Weapon in his hand and gave Brother Cheng a creepy grin.
"Jiang Cheng, I won’t bully you, lest you say my victory is dishonorable."
"As long as you can hold out for half a quarter of an hour in my hands, I’ll stop."
There was actually a loophole in that statement.
Me stopping doesn’t mean the others will stop.
But Brother Cheng didn’t bother nitpicking that little word game.
To match the other guy’s act, he really didn’t draw his Cold Slayer Ice Sword, but instead pulled out the Ice Qi Immortal Sword he’d used back in the Immortal Realm.
"I can also give you half a quarter of an hour to run. If you can get away, I can let you go too."
"Hahahaha..."
This time not only Dark Phecda, everyone else burst out laughing.
Once they saw Jiang Cheng’s Weapon, they completely relaxed.
This level was way too low, right?
We’re in the age of True Artifacts and he’s still using an Immortal Artifact?
Dark Phecda Demon Emperor in particular almost laughed himself to tears.
"Jiang Cheng, ah Jiang Cheng, that shameless boasting of yours really hasn’t changed one bit."
"Holding that piece of junk, where does your confidence come from?"
"You’re giving me half a quarter of an hour to run?"
He even felt a bit helpless.
His level was now so high that Jiang Cheng couldn’t even understand where his strength lay, couldn’t feel any fear at all.
"Truly a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, sigh!"
Dark Phecda sighed; he suddenly felt a bit desolate.
The greatest nemesis he’d always kept in his heart had now become nothing but a joke.
"Jiang Cheng, come, come, come, I’ll let you make the first three moves."
"I’ll let you experience what a despair-inducing gap really feels like."
In his view, Jiang Cheng’s power was at most Emperor Realm Second and Third Layer, while he himself was now Emperor Realm Fourth Layer.
With that Great Realm gap, it would be hard for Jiang Cheng to even break his defense.
The former great enemy huffing and puffing for half a day without being able to shake him—what a humiliation that would be.
Pff!
Brother Cheng almost spat out a mouthful of water.
"You sure you want to play it like this?"
"I’m very sure." The Dark Phecda Demon Emperor was brimming with confidence.
Right now he was Flying Dragon Riding Face—he was just playing!
He could play however he liked.
"Alright then."
Brother Cheng also sighed.
"You’re being so polite, if I don’t oblige you a bit, it’d almost feel rude."
The Dark Phecda Demon Emperor had long been unable to wait.
"Less nonsense, come on!"
"You really want me to?"
"Do it!"
Whoosh!
Brother Cheng swung out the Ice Qi Immortal Sword.
Countless Ice Blades howled forth, instantly draining all other Rules auras in the surroundings.
The Dark Phecda Demon Emperor felt like he’d been suddenly stripped naked and thrown into a world of ice and snow.
Clearly there were so many teammates around, yet he felt inexplicably helpless.
He sensed that something was off.
Just as he was about to raise his sword to block, his whole body went flying backward ahead of time.
