“How… How is this possible?”
The five elders of the Linxian Palace were petrified. They stared at the Man in Black in disbelief.
The Linxian Palace was the best sect in the Immortal Realm. The elders were a force to be reckoned with.
The Big Elder was at the pre-Combination realm while the other four elders were at the peak of the Distraction realm.
Even full-Distraction realm cultivators had to avoid the five elders because they were invincible whenever they were together.
They came here to defeat enemies. They did not expect to be overpowered by the Man in Black that easily but it was over before it even began.
What if the Man in Black…was at the Cross Tribulation realm?
Everyone gasped and felt their limbs go cold.
Cross Tribulation realm!
A rare powerful monstrous being!
Did the demons send a Cross-Tribulation realm cultivator to mess up the Immortal Realm? What were they trying to do?
“What do you want?” yelled the Big Elder.
The Man in Black replied coldly, “We want what’s ours. Let me ask you again! Where’s the Fallen Demon Sword?”
Lin Fumeng growled, “I suggest you give up. The Fallen Demon Sword is with someone you shouldn’t be messing with.”
The Man in Black burst out laughing. “Haha, it’s just the Immortal Realm. There’s no one I shouldn’t be messing with. Also, I’m doing Master Mozart’s bidding. I’m not even scared of Heavenly Gods!”
“Master Mozart?” the Big Elder scoffed. “He’s an insect compared to the expert.”
“Ridiculous!”
The Man in Black shook his head and judged them, “I don’t think any of you are sober. Let me wake you up!”
He looked at Lin Mufeng with glaring red eyes and raised his hand. Lin Mufeng’s entire right arm was sliced right off.
“Ha, let’s see how your so-called expert will stop me from getting the Fallen Demon Sword!”
The Man in Black sneered. He lifted the detached arm with telekinesis. The arm levitated and a dark power was forced out of it.
Lin Mufeng was pale. He suddenly realized why the Man in Black targeted them.
The scent of the Fallen Demon Sword was stuck in his hand when he was splitting wood for the expert.
The Man in Black grinned. There was a glint in his eye while he cast a summoning spell. He mumbled, “Summon!”
Then, the scent of the Fallen Demon Sword became a tiny ball of darkness. It was intense.
At the four-part architecture.
Everything was quiet and peaceful at night.
Everything seemed to be asleep.
Suddenly, the Fallen Demon Sword started trembling. It was lying quietly in the pyre before it was forced to stand up. It was annoyed, as if it had just been rudely woken up from a nice dream.
The jet black sword levitated and tumbled out the four-part architecture. It was flying in the night.
The sword was flying fast, too, as it only took half an hour to reach the Lingyun Immortal Pavilion.
“Here it comes!”
The Man in Black was delighted. He glanced at everyone and mocked them, “Looks like your so-called expert didn’t do anything. He didn’t even show up.”
Lin Mufeng was pale. He was still bleeding out. His mouth twitched as he grunted.
The five elders of the Linxian Palace did not look good either. They felt despair when they saw the levitating Fallen Demon Sword.
The expert calculated everything, but maybe it was hard to foresee mistakes. Maybe the expert did not know that the Man in Black was an excellent cultivator, and he became a fault in his scheme.
The five elders were miserable. “It’s over. This was an unexpected turnout. We’re probably sacrificial chess pieces to the expert.”
“From the looks on everyone’s faces, I’m guessing you’ve all given up,” laughed the Man in Black. He looked pleased with himself. “You expected an expert to swoop down and save you? Idiots! You’re all like frogs at the bottom of a well. Pathetic.”
“Ha, you’re the frog that doesn’t know anything! You can’t even begin to imagine the expert’s powers.”
Lin Mufeng had bloodshot eyes, but he said with respect, “The expert treats this realm like a chess game. Even though we might be his sacrificial chess pieces, we won’t allow you to insult the expert!”
The Holy Emperor nodded and agreed. “That’s right! At least we’re his chess pieces. We’re proud of it!”
“Useless, obsessed freaks!”
The Man in Black shook his head. He was entertained. “Compared to being Master Mozart’s chess piece, what’s so good about being the expert’s chess piece? Let me refill the Fallen Demon Sword with your blood!”
His black robe was moving in the air. He had an extremely powerful aura. He reached out to the Fallen Demon Sword and yelled, “Sword!”
The wind was blowing, demonic powers were everywhere.
Everything was meant to be, except for the sword.
The Fallen Demon Sword was still. The tip of the sword was pointed at the Man in Black. It seemed to be resisting.
“What?” the Man in Black frowned and yelled again, “Fallen Demon Sword, come to me!”
Buzz!
The quiet Fallen Demon Sword exploded in gold light instead of darkness!
The gold light was blinding!
A skull slowly drifted out from the sword, draped in a robe and bathed in gold light. It was doing a Namaste gesture.
“Amitabha.”
“Fallen Demon Sword?” the Man in Black was stunned. He could not believe it. He frowned and asked, “Sword Demon, what happened to you? You’re a skull, so why are you wearing a robe?”
The Sword Demon said slowly, “I’m a Buddhist now, I follow the teachings of Buddha.”
“What do you mean you’re a Buddhist now? Why are you Buddha’s follower?” the Man in Black was perplexed. He started to lose hope. “Don’t forget who you are!”
The Sword Demon was a skull, but it looked empathetic. It started reciting Buddhist mantras. “Endless suffering, return ashore; every being is struggling, a predestined fate with the Buddha, reverse all my wrongdoings.”
The Man in Black was livid. He said coldly, “To hell with you, Buddha follower! Looks like you went crazy, too. I have no choice but to forcefully take you!”
“So be it.” The Sword Demon raised its hands and no longer looked empathetic. It said coldly, “Trying to make a fool out of yourself? Take this!”
