Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 71, Demon Core

The Golden Demon Eagle was already considered top-tier among the beasts in this wave. Upon its death, numerous other demon beasts around it retreated in fear. Amid the slaughter, Chu Ming and the others entered Li Family Town, their white clothes stained with blood, but it was all demon beast blood.

"Young Master Chu!"

A graceful figure approached, dressed in red armor, with a faint shimmer that accentuated her alluring figure. Normally a beauty, but now the armor added a valiant aura.

It was Li Lingru!

Li Lingru’s eyes were filled with sorrow at this moment. The beast tide was truly brutal, with the population of Li Family Town reduced by half. Even the martial artists of the Li Family suffered severe casualties. If it weren’t for the periodic assistance from sect disciples passing by, Li Family Town might have been wiped out.

"Condolences!"

Chu Ming could only say this. When a beast tide occurs, casualties are inevitable. Those lacking strength will inevitably die quickly, an eternal truth. All he could do was help within his capability.

Chu Ming roughly scanned the martial artists in Li Family Town. Among the thousands of martial artists in the town, most were in the Postnatal Realm. There were only over three hundred in the Transcendence Realm, and only a few were in the Ninth Layer of the Transcendence Realm, all of whom were filled with a sense of sacrifice, ready to face death.

During his conversation with Li Lingru, Chu Ming learned that Yan Qingfeng from the Cyan Yang Sect had been stationed in Li Family Town to defend against the beast tide four days ago but had already left. Chu Ming deduced she must have gone to the city, as that was the true battlefield for sect geniuses.

"You stay here and help them defend, I’ll go out and have a look!"

Chu Ming turned to the four people behind him and said. Red Moon was relatively better off, but the remaining three had no self-defense capability if they went out.

Among the beast tide, apart from the Red-eyed Demon Tiger, Chu Ming also sensed two other powerful auras soaring to the sky. Though less formidable than the former, they still gave Chu Ming a faint sense of danger.

Beasts capable of giving Chu Ming such a feeling should be top-tier overlords among the fourth-level demon beasts, comparable to the top ten sect disciples on the Cyan Yang List.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming instantly transformed into a sharp blade, heading directly towards one of the auras. With a swing of his Silver Light Sword, flashes of sword light intersected, slicing all nearby demon beasts, regardless of whether they were third-level or fourth-level.

Chu Ming’s current understanding of the Sword Dao had reached a pinnacle. Any swordsmanship in his hands could be executed with mastery, surpassing even Sword Dao masters who had submerged in the field for years.

Slash, slash, slash...

Instantly, he killed all the demon beasts in front of him, their bodies forming a thick layer on the ground. At this moment, a white bear appeared before Chu Ming, with one of the powerful auras emanating from its body.

The white bear, about thirty meters tall, had sturdy arms like ancient tree trunks. Its hair stood on end like steel needles, eyes as green as millstones, its paws lightly patting the ground, causing dust to fly and a tiny crack to spread from beneath its paw.

"A top-tier fourth-level demon beast, the White Demon Bear!"

Though the White Demon Bear was also a top-tier fourth-level demon beast, it was far superior to the Golden Demon Eagle but was the overlord among top-tier fourth-level demons. Ordinary fourth-level demon beasts couldn’t withstand a single move from it.

Upon seeing Chu Ming, it naturally noticed Chu Ming as well. Chu Ming stood there without a hint of aura, yet the White Demon Bear’s body shrunk slightly, the bloodthirstiness in its eyes diminishing significantly.

"Frenzied Dragon Swordsmanship!"

Chu Ming didn’t care about anything else; with a shake of his sword, countless sword flowers burgeoned, combining into a massive sword light dragon in the air, mixed with endless sword force, crashing toward the White Demon Bear. The air exploded instantly, with bursts of explosive sounds filling the ears.

Seeing Chu Ming strike, the White Demon Bear’s retreating intention drastically reduced. Despite its bulk, its speed was still impressive. With a wave of its paw, it carried tens of thousands of pounds of force, whistling through the air.

Slash, slash, slash...

Upon collision, sword force rampaged. Countless sword forces leaked out, slicing the air horizontally.

Roar!

The White Demon Bear groaned in pain and retreated. However, this only further provoked its ferocity. Chu Ming wouldn’t miss such a good opportunity; he stomped his foot, instantly killing all demon beasts within five meters, leaping into the air.

Boom

His left hand clenched, a fiery red aura emanating from his fist. Numerous fire elements continually exploded in the air, splashing fire essence, even changing the color of the air.

"Blast Flame Fist!"

With a punch, the air exploded, the tail of the fist swayed in dazzling red, glowing like a dragon.

Boom

The White Demon Bear didn’t hesitate. A paw struck likewise, causing the air to explode entirely. Chu Ming roughly assessed the White Demon Bear’s strength, slightly weaker than before he had his breakthrough.

Slash

Blood rain and countless hair sprinkled from the air. The White Demon Bear was entirely frenzied now, with one of its limbs directly exploded by Chu Ming, turning into a blood mist. At this moment, it finally understood that the human before it was not someone it could contend with.

Roar!

Just as Chu Ming prepared to continue his attack, a deafening roar came from his left side, followed by a giant demon wolf appearing before him.

Equal in size to the White Demon Bear, its aura was not the slightest bit weaker, even faintly stronger. Its eerie eyes watched Chu Ming as if he were its prey. freewebnøvel.coɱ

This was another powerful aura, the top-tier fourth-level demon beast, Tailless Demon Wolf. As the name implies, the Tailless Demon Wolf had no tail, looking extraordinarily bizarre.

Bang, bang, bang

Upon the Tailless Demon Wolf’s appearance, the fear in the White Demon Bear’s eyes diminished somewhat. Two demon beasts gradually approached Chu Ming, their aura intensifying, stirring up clouds. Chu Ming’s white robe fluttered without wind.

Swish, swish, swish

Numerous sword lights burst from Chu Ming’s sword, breaking inch by inch in the air, flickering icy cold light as they shot toward the White Demon Bear. With this sword, Chu Ming unleashed his full power!

Boom

Seeing Chu Ming attack the White Demon Bear, the Tailless Demon Wolf instantly turned into a phantom, merging with several intense winds as it struck toward Chu Ming’s back. However, though fast, Chu Ming was even faster.

With his fist clenched, he punched backward, the fist force erupted, fire elements splashed everywhere, resembling a rain of fire.

Slash, slash, slash...

Without one limb, the White Demon Bear’s strength greatly reduced, directly dissected by Chu Ming’s sword light, its body collapsing, rich blood qi spreading around.

Ding

The punch collided with the Tailless Demon Wolf, sparking numerous embers. Utilizing the counterforce, Chu Ming leaped like a swan on the river, instantly landing above the dead White Demon Bear.

With a swing of his sword, he cut off the White Demon Bear’s right ear and stored it in his storage ring. Just as Chu Ming intended to strike the Tailless Demon Wolf, his eyes suddenly lit up.

With a single slice, Chu Ming split the White Demon Bear’s head in two, revealing a fist-sized crystal stone emitting a faint blue light, captivating the mind.

This is... the top-tier fourth-level Demon Core!
