Chapter 242 - 242: Chaotic Battle
"Yes! Lord!"
That Demon Emperor answered and quickly flew towards the place where Chen Chen was.
When Chen Chen saw this, he turned around and fled without saying another word. Soon, he was dozens of kilometers away from the camp.
The Demon Emperor persisted and sneered as he continued with his pursuit. "You're just a mere Nascent Soul realm cultivator, where can you run to?"
"There are human powerhouses in ambush right ahead. You know nothing!"
Chen Chen turned around and cursed.
Stunned to hear his words, the Demon Emperor immediately became wary and kept his guard up as he subconsciously slowed down.
When he saw the contemptuous smirk on Chen Chen's face, he finally realized that he had been tricked, and immediately became irritated. Gritting his teeth, he sped up again.
Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Chen suddenly turned around, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes while the Divine Condensation Pearl launched a wave of divine sense attack.
The Demon Emperor did not expect a Nascent Soul realm cultivator to also be able to attack with his divine senses. All of a sudden, he felt a sharp stabbing pain in his head and immediately shrieked while holding his head.
Chen Chen's eyes lit up when he saw that, and the Omni Divine Blade was unsheathed. It then slashed against the Essence Soul realm powerhouse.
However, he was still in the Essence Soul realm after all. Even though his sea of consciousness had been attacked abruptly, he could still instinctively dodge to the side.
"You have a death wish!"
After coming back to his senses, the lion-headed Demon Emperor was infuriated, but deep down, he was terrified!
If he had reacted slower, his physical body would have probably been injured by Chen Chen, the Nascent Soul realm cultivator who appeared out of nowhere. If word about it got out, he would likely become a laughing stock of the clan!
Without continuing to waste any time, he quickly smacked his claw at Chen Chen, after which the terrifying fluctuations of the Essence Soul realm instantly suppressed Chen Chen. All he wanted to do now was smack Chen Chen to death.
Bang!
Chen Chen tried his best to resist, but he was still blasted away by thousands of meters away and smashed into the ground.
"It seems that he's not as strong as I thought, huh?"
Chen Chen crawled out of the pit while his body recovered from a minor injury.
After being attacked by a force of such a low intensity, he didn't need to consume any treasures as the spiritual energy in his body was enough for him to withstand it.
'It seems that the breakthrough I made some time ago is still of some use.'
"An Essence Soul realm cultivator is not that impressive!"
Chen Chen instantly came to his senses. Before the Essence Soul realm Demon Emperor chased after him, Chen Chen took the initiative to attack him.
In his opinion, those who could not hurt him severely with a single blow would ultimately have to be tortured to death by him.
Seeing that Chen Chen still wanted to fight back, the Demon Emperor became even more infuriated, and he tried to smack Chen Chen again, but Chen Chen struck his palm with an Apocalyptic Divine Thunder.
Bang!
With a loud, explosive sound, a large hole appeared in the hand of the Essence Soul realm Demon Emperor and at the same time, a large sword appeared. The sword was then slashed against his head.
...
While they were having an intense battle, Zhang Ji retreated hundreds of kilometers with a group of cultivators.
There was no longer anyone at the human campground.
The formation that they were in was unusually scattered, and to put it bluntly, they had all fled in different directions.
No matter how powerful the Divine Snow Demon Emperor was, he could only chase in one direction at a time.
After killing a few human cultivators, he naturally fixed his eyes on Zhang Ji.
There were quite a few other human cultivators beside Zhang Ji, and they had all turned pale at this moment.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang! Where is the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord? Why hasn't he appeared yet?"
Zhang Ji remained silent, and the other cultivators were all furious. They began to address him differently.
"Kid, if the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord still doesn't appear, the battlefield of Qi and Wei will collapse! When the time comes, can you afford to take the responsibility?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ji's face turned red, and he flew far away from the cultivators.
Those few cultivators were so angry that they almost vomited blood, and they couldn't be bothered about Zhang Ji anymore. Hence, they flew in another direction.
'If this kid dies, so be it. He's mute anyway."
...
Although the Divine Snow Demon Emperor was chasing, he was frowning incessantly because he hadn't seen his old rival, the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord yet.
Moreover, the cultivators of the Seven Lethal Demon Clan hadn't retreated since they stepped onto the land of Qi and Wei, but today, they withdrew and retreated by hundreds of kilometers at once.
Despite such a situation, the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord still did not show up.
That gave him a vague, ominous premonition.
He had always been very careful when dealing with this old rival of his. Even when attacking at night, he would make sure that there were no special arrays in the campground and then wait for the camp cultivators to show up, before launching the attack.
Now that his old rival did not appear, he wondered if there was a greater scheme involved.
At that thought, he subconsciously took out the communication token, but before he could send a message, he received a message from his subordinate who sounded anxious.
"Lord! The Berserk Lion Demon Emperor's camp is on fire! I just faintly heard the roar of the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor!"
"The Berserk Lion Demon Emperor has transformed into his main form and is chasing after a human cultivator!"
Seeing these two messages, the Divine Snow Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically, and he instantly understood.
'No wonder the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord turns out he's sneaking an attack!'
'Seems like the human cultivators did not attack during the day and deliberately delayed the battle just to mislead me and make me think that the Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord is injured.'
"Scoundrel! How ruthless! He used so many human cultivators as bait to kill a Berserk Lion Demon Emperor!"
The Divine Snow Demon Emperor cursed furiously in his heart.
If the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor died; and he only protected the Crimson Fox Demon Emperor, it would be considered a draw for both human and demon races.
However, the original situation was that as long as he held back the human cultivators, he would definitely have won.
How could he be willing to turn a win into a draw?
"Berserk Lion! You come back here! The Seven-Slaughtering Demon Lord is not in the camp, beware of an ambush!"
In a fit of anger, the Divine Snow Demon Emperor quickly took out a communication token to contact the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor.
However, the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor did not reply.
The Divine Snow Demon Emperor saw this, and he was enraged.
As soon as the battle began, the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor had been attacking and obviously didn't have the time to look at the communication token.
'I wonder if he's dead or alive.'
"If he's my subordinate, I would have smacked him dead! His bloodline will forever be inferior!"
The Divine Snow Demon Emperor cursed with resentment, crushed the communication token, and then turned around to fly in the direction of his camp.
At the same time, a furious hissing sound reached the ears of all the demons within a radius of dozens of kilometers.
"Follow me back to the camp!"
Many human cultivators also heard this command, all of them were a bit uncertain.
...
"Destroy!"
Chen Chen shot several Apocalyptic Divine Thunderbolts and blasted the Essence Soul realm Demon Emperor's Essence Soul into ashes.
"Hah, I can kill an Essence Soul realm cultivator at the Nascent Soul realm too."
Chen Chen tidied up his hair and put the corpse of the lion that was dozens of meters long, into his storage ring.
The lion was naturally the original body of that Essence Soul realm Demon Emperor, and at this time, it was covered in slash marks and charred welts due to the Apocalyptic Divine Thunder.
Chen Chen had finally killed an Essence Soul realm Demon Emperor. Chen Chen of course had to stow it away and show it off in the future.
Boom!
There was a sudden sound of a loud explosion, and Chen Chen looked over, only to see the explosion of lightning and thunder. The spiritual energy spread dozens of kilometers and removed a layer of the earth.
Noticing this movement, Chen Chen hurriedly flew over.
At this time, Qinglin and the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor were engaged in an intense battle, and Qinglin's green hair, which was several meters long, was pointed at the sky like grass.
Rays of light were also emitted from her eyes. Even though Chen Chen was quite far away, he could still sense the faint pressure of the divine senses.
The Berserk Lion Demon Emperor had turned into his main form, but his eyes were scarlet. Regardless of how hard Qinglin attacked with her divine senses, he remained unwavering and began attacking crazily like an irrational madman!
Boom!
There was another loud bang!
Qinglin was directly smacked tens of thousands of meters away by the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor. When she flew backwards in the air, blood seeped out from the corners of her eyes.
"Die!"
Accompanied by a loud shriek, the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor's eyes exploded, and a stream of blood gushed out like an arrow.
The Berserk Lion Demon Emperor's body turned golden, and Chen Chen even saw through his skin that his blood was coursing vigorously through his veins!
The roaring got more and more intense, and all the plants in a radius of dozens of meters were blasted into pieces.
"This lion has gone mad!"
Chen Chen was shocked, and he quickly appeared in front of Qinglin who was severely injured. He then helped her up.
"This...lunatic. Don't bother."
Qinglin closed her eyes tightly, and her cheeks were full of blood, but she didn't forget to be proud.
Chen Chen stalled time talking nonsense with her. Without hesitation, he stuffed her into the Little Carefree Immortal Palace.
Boom!
In the distance, the Berserk Lion Demon Emperor opened his mouth and launched a shockwave at Chen Chen, blasting him away by a few hundred meters.
With the force of this impact, Chen Chen hurriedly fled into the distance and vanished in no time.
