The smile of the Blood Demon froze on its face, a flicker of disbelief flashing in its eyes. Its hands were still gripping tightly, but it was already feeling an unprecedented sense of danger.
The Blood Demon wanted to evade, only to realize that its body could not keep up with the speed of the sword strike. At least before the sword intent descended, it had no time to move a muscle. What kind of power is this?
Terror filled the Blood Demon’s eyes as it finally recognized that the human before it was not someone it could afford to underestimate. It also understood why the opponent could utter such arrogant words. All it wanted was to lessen its strength and drop the damned human! But it was all too late.
In an instant, the golden sword light pierced through the Blood Demon’s body, cleaving it in two. The massive form collapsed with a thunderous crash, kicking up a cloud of dust that obscured the sky.
Nearby, severely injured and initially prepared to flee, Hong Zhu stared in shock at the figure. What level of swordsmanship is this? Celestial level? No, that’s impossible; even celestial level wouldn’t have such destructive power. This must be a technique even more powerful than celestial level!
While she was still in shock, she saw the very young-looking man slowly approaching her. “You… don’t come any closer,” Hong Zhu stammered, her heart racing as she instinctively spoke. “Who… who are you? How could there be someone so powerful in Da Ao Kingdom?”
Chen Moxuan glanced at the woman before him and smirked, “You’re really timid and ignorant.”
At that moment, the Longxiang Riders had already rushed to Di Sha Jiang Jun’s side, keeping a close watch on him. Chen Moxuan realized that his identity could no longer be concealed. However, he didn’t care much about it.
He looked into the distance and noticed Tiger Brother had already captured the Fire Serpent Demon. Chen Feng was also making his way toward him. Just as he prepared to observe the Fire Serpent Demon, he heard a splatter.
Chen Moxuan turned his head to see that timid woman spitting out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, she had been backlashed by some kind of technique. “You weren’t trying to divine me, were you?” Chen Moxuan assessed her with a glance and decided to teach her a lesson; next time, she shouldn’t foolishly attempt to use her ridiculous divination techniques to pry into the affairs of a stronger opponent.
“I was wrong!” Hong Zhu panicked upon hearing this and quickly admitted her mistake.
Chen Moxuan paid no heed to Hong Zhu's terror and pleas for mercy; his gaze had already shifted to the distance. At that moment, Chen Feng strode over, his face alight with unmistakable excitement and respect.
Upon reaching Chen Moxuan, he loudly and respectfully exclaimed, "Ancestor!"
This title was clearly delivered with a hint of intention, meant for all present to hear, especially those lurking in the shadows.
Hidden away, Ma Xingyu and Wei Yuanjing felt a tumult of emotions, their hearts heavy with regret. They never imagined that this seemingly young man, who had previously shown such indifference, was actually Chen Feng's ancestor—a powerful figure shrouded in mystery!
How could this be? It must be a lie!
The two thought to themselves, yet they couldn’t ignore the terrifying strength and youthful appearance of the man before them. Deep down, they realized that this was likely true. Perhaps it was precisely because Chen Feng had such an esteemed ancestor guiding him that he could achieve those seemingly impossible feats that bordered on miraculous.
Their faces were etched with remorse and frustration, but there was nothing they could do to change the situation now. They could only silently observe the unfolding events, praying that this ancestor would be magnanimous and not hold their smallness against them.
Chen Moxuan smiled slightly; he hadn’t expected Chen Feng to have such clever ideas. He felt there was no longer any need to conceal his identity. Announcing his presence directly would strike fear into the hearts of those around him.
However, Chen Moxuan's thoughts were already elsewhere. He noticed that Chen Feng’s attention was captivated by the sword dropped by the Blood Demon, his eyes glimmering with greed and desire.
That sword was undoubtedly an exceptional weapon. Yet the ominous aura emanating from it made Chen Moxuan furrow his brow. This was no Divine Weapon used by humans nor a Demon Artifact wielded by beasts; it was a Demonic Artifact!
Such weapons posed a tremendous temptation to any spirit not ensnared by the path of darkness. Yet behind that temptation lay even greater danger.
"Ancestor, I want that sword!" Chen Feng couldn't help but plead with Chen Moxuan.
Knowing the terrifying nature of Demonic Artifacts, how could Chen Moxuan allow harm to come to his descendant? He cast a casual glance at the sword before turning to inquire about Hong Zhu and Di Sha Jiang Jun.
"Why don’t you both tell me who you work for?"
Hong Zhu hesitated for a moment before responding, "We owe a favor to our family’s Second Prince. So this time, seizing the artifact is my way of repaying that favor. But I’m not entirely under his command."
Meanwhile, Di Sha Jiang Jun, who had been observing Chen Feng, snapped back to attention and quickly added his thoughts.
I serve the Crown Prince!
Chen Moxuan nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. The Divine Weapon held little value for Chen Fengyan. Therefore, I am considering choosing one of you two to bestow this Divine Weapon upon.
Upon hearing this, both of them were immediately overjoyed. They did not understand why Chen Moxuan would act in such a way, but how could they not be excited about receiving a divine artifact?
Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!
The two hurriedly expressed their gratitude, each hoping that Chen Moxuan would choose them.
Chen Moxuan smiled and said, "I am particularly fond of the possibility that there might be some kind of technique hidden within that relic. My Chen Family does not lack such things. If we find it, how about each of you receiving one item: a technique and a Divine Weapon?"
Hong Zhu and Di Sha Jiang Jun grew uneasy upon hearing this.
Hong Zhu was the first to ask, "Senior, may I ask why—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Moxuan interrupted her directly.
"There's no need for you to guess. It's simple: you can take the items, but if my existence is revealed from here, don’t blame me for turning against you!"
Hong Zhu and Di Sha Jiang Jun instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It was merely a matter of not wanting their identities to be exposed, so he was giving them a bit of sweet reward.
As they pondered this, they realized that this super expert capable of slaying Blood Demons might have lived for countless years and was likely not in need of a technique or artifact.
"No problem, senior! I absolutely won’t let anyone know!" Hong Zhu quickly affirmed.
At the same time, she suddenly reached out her hand, and a colorful ribbon flew out from her sleeve, directly striking down Ma Xingyu and Wei Yuanjing who were hiding not far away.
Di Sha Jiang Jun then gathered all his Ling Qi.
A series of Spells enveloped everyone in Di Sha Zhan Bu as he proclaimed loudly, "If anyone from Di Sha Zhan Bu violates our oath, the oath-breaker shall meet their end!"
