The Brilliant Fighting Master - Chapter 1584
Chapter 1584: Fighting the Demon King!
The Demon invasion had started a few hours ago.
When the news spread to the Realm of Divine Martial Arts, it started an uproar. Everyone was panicked.
The shadow of the Demon had not completely vanished from previous run-ins. And now they’d come back again. People were much more scared this time.
The three great forces were among the most anxious. More than half of the people they had sent to fight the Demons had been killed or injured. There was worry that the others wouldn’t be able to last one more day.
As a result, the forces called for reinforcements, including titled martial arts practitioners.
Other races also sent their warriors to assist.
“We can never let the Demons get a foothold in the Three Lower Realms! Never!”
This was the thought that everyone shared. Facing a common enemy, they all forgot about their prejudices and collaborated actively.
At the same time, the war that would determine the existence of the Realm of Nine Heavens was on the verge of breaking out.
Sacred City was surrounded by an enormous amount of Demons.
Many people were frightened out of their wits after they had seen the hideous-looking Demons.
“They are really here.”
Overlooking the city, the Evil Demonic King smiled coldly after seeing all of the citizens armed to the teeth.
These preparations in Sacred City couldn’t have been done in haste.
They must’ve anticipated the Demon invasion and deployed everything in advance.
The Evil Demonic King naturally thought of the man who’d deployed the ward on the channel.
“Who is the person who deployed the ward on the channel? Come forward!”
“Otherwise, I’ll slaughter the city!”
“Slaughter the city!”
His announcement made the blood of Sacred City’s citizens run cold.
“If you mean the ward which strengthened the channel, it was deployed by me.”
Jiang Chen came forward and admitted it was him.
The Evil Demonic King’s pupils contracted. He emitted a rich evil energy.
Holding back his impulse to tear Jiang Chen apart, he said, “You did it by yourself?”
He knew not just anyone could deploy a ward like that, unless the individual had collaborated with some first-class masters.
“How many people would it need?” Jiang Chen answered him with a question.
“Great. That’s great.”
The Evil Demonic King kept smiling coldly. He shouted at the city, “Whoever brings his family members and friends to me will get the opportunity to stay alive.”
It looked as if this Demon King was going to kill everyone Jiang Chen knew in the latter’s presence.
He wouldn’t even let those who were remotely related to Jiang Chen survive.
He wanted to torture Jiang Chen as much as he could. Only in this way could his anger be vented.
Surprisingly to the Evil Demonic King, no one in Sacred City took him up on his offer. People acted as if they were surprised by it.
“What? Didn’t you hear me?” the Evil Demonic King yelled angrily.
However, except for confusion, he didn’t arouse any reactions from the people of Sacred City.
“Are you…are you the strongest person here? Was the deployment of all the defenses organized by you?”
The Evil Demonic King asked, keeping a straight face although he was furious. Suddenly he realized something.
“What? Any problem?” Jiang Chen was amused.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha, what’s wrong with you humans? You…you only sent a Martial Arts Saint at the preliminary stage? It’s hilarious!”
The Evil Demonic King burst out laughing. He laughed so much that he even cried.
He was not doing this deliberately to annoy Jiang Chen. He was really very amused.
This was before the elimination of the Demons and the Blood Race’s invasion.
Back then, humans had the Goddess of Empyrean, Divine Kings, and numerous heroes, who were all strong Venerable Sovereigns.
The Evil Demonic King knew this was the lowest level world, but he’d supposed they must at least have had some Martial Arts Saints at the peak of their stages.
And, as far as he knew about the humans, there should be more than one or two of them.
It wasn’t hard to imagine how pleasantly surprised the Evil Demonic King was when he found that there was only Jiang Chen, a Martial Arts Saint at the preliminary stage.
“I’m afraid the Demon invasion is going to bring us a disastrous influence.”
The elder of the Lightning and Thunder Race realized this as soon as he saw the Demon Army.
If they’d even sent such a lineup to the Realm of Nine Heavens, wouldn’t a much more powerful one have been sent to the Realms of Milky and True Force?
This elder regretted that he’d come to the Realm of Nine Heavens so that Jiang Chen could use him as a soldier.
“Stray dog, stop barking,” Jiang Chen said coldly.
The air froze in an instant.
The Evil Demonic King, who had been laughing, looked like he was having a stroke. His laugh disappeared right away.
The Demonic energy and the coldness emitted by him made the temperature drop drastically.
“This human is courting death.”
The other Celestial Demons knew the Evil Demonic King pretty well. They knew what he was going to do next.
“I’ve decided. Slaughter the city.”
The Evil Demonic King waved his right hand after speaking.
The Demon Army was extremely aggressive. They rushed at Sacred City by air and by land.
“Fight now!”
Jiang Chen gave his order. All of the defenses in Sacred City were switched on. Their energy attacked the Demon Army like a meteor shower.
All the Demons on the front line were attacked and held back.
“Oh? Looks you have used the humans’ creativity to the full.”
The Evil Demonic King was very surprised at the defense.
He was going to destroy all of these defenders himself.
However, Jiang Chen acted before he did.
Jiang Chen didn’t have any concerns while fighting the Demons. He rushed at the enemy and threw the bronze cauldron toward the Evil Demonic King.
“What the h*ll?”
The Evil Demonic King frowned perplexedly. He’d certainly realized that the bronze cauldron wasn’t simple.
The bronze cauldron did not get big. It was a regular size. It flew toward the Demon King.
“Thousands of Demons Eliminate Gods!”
The Evil Demonic King was not an average Demon. Watching the bronze cauldron flying over, craziness showed in his eyes.
A mysterious Demonic fire arose from his fists. They were thrown at the bronze cauldron with an invincible energy.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled.
BANG!
The Evil Demonic King’s fists punched the bronze cauldron. No matter how surprising their power was, the bronze cauldron was not affected at all.
Instead, it was the Evil Demonic King’s five fingers that were smashed into pieces. His whole arm was broken.
That wasn’t all. The great recoil force first affected his shoulders and then his entire body. He was sent flying.
“Demon King!”
The battle stopped because of this incident. The Demon Army turned pale.
They didn’t expect their Demon King to be so vulnerable.
“What the h*ll is that?!”
Unfortunately, the Demon King wasn’t killed immediately, although he looked terrible.
His shoulders and arms recovered very soon. If it weren’t for his ripped clothes, people would’ve doubted everything that’d just happened. They would’ve assumed it was nothing else but an illusion.
“What’s wrong with these current humans? A Martial Arts Saint in the preliminary stage can have such a powerful artifact? Then what do Venerable Sovereigns use? Holy Artifacts?”
The Evil Demonic King thought it was a common situation that Jiang Chen had the bronze cauldron, which wasn’t true.
He stopped despising Jiang Chen. He threw the bronze cauldron a glance, and then threw Jiang Chen another glance.
“Hey, if you don’t use the bronze cauldron, I won’t invade the city for the moment, and we can have a fight between us.”
The Evil Demonic King continued, “If you win, this city will be saved. If you lose, it will lose too.”
“No!”
The people of Sacred City hurried to shout. They certainly knew how powerful the bronze cauldron was and that it was able to kill the Demon King quickly.
They would rather sacrifice themselves than give up the chance of winning.
“Okay. But your army must retreat first.”
However, to their surprise, Jiang Chen agreed.
“Okay!”
The Evil Demonic King was laughing to himself. He actually hadn’t pinned many hopes on the offer, but, to his surprise, Jiang Chen had really agreed.
He waved his hand again. The Demon Army distanced themselves from the Sacred City like an ebb tide.
