Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San

An indescribable oppressive force, condescending and overwhelming, left the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor utterly aghast, especially since it could distinctly feel its grasp over the darkness element wavering under the terrifying aura. The golden light emanating from the golden trident seemed to naturally exert a powerful oppression against it, leaving it feeling almost breathless.

Even when facing Demon Emperors ranked higher than itself, it had never felt such a thing, and now it couldn't help but feel shock beyond measure. Not daring to be negligent, it activated the Dark Nine Dragons with all its might, and nine black dragons surged out, transforming into dark shadows that writhed wildly, coiling in front of it to fend off those streaks of golden brilliance.

Where darkness and golden light met, they seemed to melt away, shattering, but more of the power of darkness kept pouring into the nine black dragons, replenishing their loss.

But the vast golden figure did not pause, the golden trident in its hands conjuring illusions in the void, sending out rings of golden light that floated around it—one above, one below, one to the left, one to the right... In a moment, dozens of golden rings had already arrived.

When the nine black dragons released by the Dark Nine Dragons made contact with these rings, they instantly became trapped, unable to move an inch. Even more golden rings directly encircled the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor itself.

The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor felt its mind tighten, an immense deterrent force materializing, and even its divine consciousness was forcibly locked down in that instant, leaving it feeling as if it couldn't move its divine thoughts at all.

It tried to muster all its strength to activate the Dark Nine Dragons, but those golden rings had already encased it, leaving it completely immobile.

A fear like never before instantly took hold of the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, never having imagined the existence of such an opponent. In the cloak of night, it should have been at its strongest as the King of the Night, but for some reason, under the pressure of the fearsome golden trident, it felt as if it couldn't exert any strength at all.

An overwhelming force restricted everything about the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor to a tiny range, and then it saw that golden shadow slowly lifting the golden trident that caused it such intense trepidation.

An intense killing intent enveloped it in an instant, locking down its divine consciousness, and the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor even felt as if it would be utterly destroyed in the next moment. It desperately tried to struggle, but in the face of the golden rings that encircled it, it was completely unable to break free, not even a bit.

What to do? How had this happened? At this moment, it felt like it was losing control of its emotions. It never anticipated facing such an overpoweringly strong opponent, so strong that it couldn't contend with them at all.

With a flash of silver light, the Peacock Demon King appeared out of thin air in the wilderness, accompanied by Pretty Girl.

"No!" Only now could Pretty Girl's voice cry out from her throat, clearly carrying a sob.

She wanted to struggle, but was firmly bound by her father. In that instant, she suddenly felt as if something had been extinguished within her.

"No, please!" Pretty Girl finally cried aloud. She felt what it was—clearly, the power of a blood oath, the thread that had tied her to Asura had been severed, yes, at that very moment, completely severed.

The end of a blood oath only meant one thing—the entity that had taken the oath had been utterly eradicated.

Tears gushed uncontrollably, and she finally understood why Asura and her father had been communicating telepathically before. He had clearly intended to make a final stand for her and her father, facing everything alone. Though she didn't know how he had managed it, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor hadn't pursued them, and Asura's presence had completely and utterly faded.

The Peacock Demon King seemed to sense something too, "He came from mystery, and he's returned to mystery. He was a noble in your fate, it's such a pity."

It truly felt sorry from the bottom of its heart for that young man. It had even gone so far as to make him its heir, revealing the biggest secrets within its heart to him. Regrettably, he wasn't able to continue accompanying Pretty Girl, meeting his end on this return journey...

From start to finish, Asura had maintained his composure, again and again using the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor's Sword Order to resist the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor. Until finally, they managed to escape.

Without pausing, unconcerned with his daughter's crying, silver light surged once more, sweeping up their figures, transporting and vanishing once again into the void.

...

Dazzling sword light swept across the night sky. When an Emperor went all out to travel, their speed was truly astonishing.

At this moment, something within the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor's heart felt as if it was boiling over.

What is a sword? A question suddenly arose in its heart. That voice had provided many answers—sword is justice, sword is judgment, Sword Breaks All Laws, sword is sacrifice.

Such simple descriptions, yet each one touched its soul, filling the heart of this Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor with a strong impulse.

After the fifth Sword Order was summoned, it once again launched its full power through the void, cursing the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor deep within its heart.

However, it understood that it was most likely too late, the distance was too great. The Peacock Demon King's first teleportation was simply too far away. What confused it was why the clever young man, having already summoned it, did not have the Peacock Demon King reverse teleport during the use of the first Sword Order. If they had used the five Sword Orders for reverse teleportation, perhaps it would still be in time for its rescue.

But just as this thought surfaced in its mind, the answer became apparent. Because, it saw a distant radiant glimmer, a glow that was slower than its own speed. However, the fluctuation of mind contained in that glow was of Emperor Level, yes, Emperor!

It was undoubtedly the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

For the sake of two young descendants, in addition to a Peacock Demon King, two Emperors had actually been provoked to give chase?

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor accelerated with all might, chasing in the direction of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

At this moment, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor also seemed to feel its presence and intentionally slowed down.

The distance between the two gradually closed, and they flew side by side.

"Your Excellency Sword Saint, what brings you here..." Although the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was also an Emperor, it was the youngest and weakest among them. It was still extremely respectful when facing the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.

The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor said in a deep voice, "Are you going after the people of the Peacock Demon Clan?"

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor replied with equal gravity, "Precisely, my clan harbors a grudge against the Peacock Demon Clan that cannot coexist under the same sky."

"Let's catch up with them first. The Dark Demon is already on that side pursuing them. I felt the call of the Sword Order just now, and had a clash with the Dark Demon through the void, and now I fear..."

Upon hearing this, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was startled, unaware that the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor had also taken action, frowning with deep concern, "The Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor has made a move as well?"

"Didn't you arrange this together?" the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor asked back puzzled.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor shook its head and said, "No. This is bad, we must hurry!"

Indeed, it wanted to kill the Peacock Demon King, but it had complex feelings towards his daughter, the only child of the woman it loved most! What would happen to the one it loved most if she were to be harmed?

Although Pretty Girl had exceptional talent, which had posed a strong threat to it, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had not genuinely resolved to kill Pretty Girl. What it wanted to eliminate was the Peacock Demon King. No matter how talented Pretty Girl was, she was not yet at God Rank. Without reaching God Rank, it was impossible to defend Jiali City.

Under these circumstances, as long as it could kill the Peacock Demon King and take Jiali City, everything would be much easier to handle.

Yet, the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor never expected the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor to personally intervene. Was it all for that Mengte Te? These Great Demon Emperors always prided themselves on their status. And now, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor had come forward for the Peacock Demon Clan, seemingly to protect it, which only made the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor even more puzzled.

But no matter what, the priority was to catch up first.

Both the Great Demon Emperors proceeded without further communication, mobilizing their bodies with full power, flying at their fastest speed.

Their all-out flight exposed the gap in their cultivation bases. The Crystal Phoenix and the Red-crowned Crane Demon were both avian in nature, adept at flying, but not known for speed. The Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, with sword and being as one, was noticeably faster than the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor in flight, which explained why it was able to overtake the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, even though it had started later.

At this time, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor did not intend to wait and went on with unrestrained high-speed flight towards the targeted direction.

Whilst the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor followed with all its might, it could only watch as the distance between them widened relentlessly, feeling helpless since after all, the other was an established and powerful entity. Moreover, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor's cultivation base felt even stronger than the legends suggested. This Emperor, known as the most impoverished among his peers, was certainly not lacking in the realm of cultivation.

Finally, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor seemed to sense something, as sword light surged forward, instantaneously closing the distance.

In the sky, a dark silhouette hovered there, and even without doing anything, the atmosphere was still filled with the aura of darkness. Within the night, it was the law itself, the sovereign of darkness.
