Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1426: Ice Sculpture's Meritorious Service

Aside from Yao Manlan, the Eros Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion, all the eighteen Demon Royal Halls' Crown Scions were present.

There were both male and female, all of them displaying different auras. Their only common aspect was the purple mark on their foreheads.

Xuan Yan was somewhat furious as he demanded, "We sent news half a month ago. Why did you all arrive only now?"

The other fourteen Crown Scions remained silent; no one spoke a single word.

A possibility immediately occurred to Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan. Expressions of rage flared on their faces.

"Haha! We probably do not have to state the reason; you are likely able to guess it yourselves. If we turned up early, the act would lack realism," the Thunder Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion said with a teasing expression.

Another person added, "How unfortunate that the people of the Deity Dao Union did not appear. Otherwise, we could have captured all of them in one fell sweep."

"You all!" Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan raged. They felt like they had been used as bait.

"Cut it out. Xuan Yan, Yi Xuan, the two of you contributed greatly this time. Where is the Evil Shadow Sword? You can tell us already, right?" Bai Leng, the Snow Demon Royal Hall's white-clad Crown Scion, prompted Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan after glaring at the Thunder Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion.

Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan were feeling dissatisfied. However, in the Demonic World, where the stronger preyed on the weaker, strength was supreme. They could only endure for now and vent their frustration after they became stronger.

"Under your feet!" Xuan Yan said with an unhappy expression as he pointed at the ground.

"Whoosh!"

Instantly, many pairs of eyes looked at the ground under them. So, this was where the Evil Shadow Sword was buried.

Aside from Xuan Yan and Yi Xuan, as well as the dim-witted Iron Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion, all the other Crown Scions were competitors for the Evil Shadow Sword. At this moment, when they heard that the Evil Shadow Sword was under them, their minds started racing.

"There is no rush. Let us consider the battle situation before us first and see how strong the outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm are," the Snow Demon Royal Hall's Bai Leng said indifferently.

Although the Snow Demon Monarch was not ranked high among the eighteen Demon Monarchs, merely a Ninth Heaven Martial Emperor, Bai Leng was different. Of the eighteen Crown Scions, his strength was firmly within the top five; hence, he held very high prestige.

This was especially so for Bai Leng's great achievements with the Ice Palm. Aside from the two mysterious Crown Scions of the Earth Demon Royal Hall and the Celestial Demon Royal Hall, few of the other Crown Scions dared to fight with him.

Bai Leng already proved his strength when he defeated Chu Yang in ten moves earlier.

"That's fine as well. However, if this is all the strength they have, there are not many who are worth me making a move," the Thunder Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion said lazily as he casually sized up the surrounding fleeing outstanding talents.

The entire Dragon Burial Mound had plunged into chaos. The formation of outstanding talents from the various lands had long been disrupted already.

After seeing all the Demons of the various Demon Royal Halls that arrived, they all chose to break out and leave first before doing anything else.

The reason for such a situation was the rapidity of Chu Yang's defeat. The horror of it affected the Kunlun Realm's many outstanding talents, and no one had stepped out to unite them.

The Kunlun Realm cultivators did not hold the upper hand in numbers in the first place. When they suddenly got surrounded, the situation became even more difficult.

Shui Lingling's and An Junxi's groups were rather fortunate.

The disciples of these two sects had been working together. One group took charge of long-ranged attacks while the other handled close combat. Furthermore, there were Shui Lingling and An Junxi, disciples of two Primes. They managed to break out of the encirclement quickly.

They moved like raging floodwaters, advancing ferociously. Nothing could block them. Soon, they reached the outermost ring of encirclement by the fourteen Demon Royal Halls.

However, their exceptional performance attracted the attention of the few Demon Crown Scions seated in the middle.

The Thunder Demon Royal Hall's Lei Yun asked casually, "Xuan Yan, who is that man holding the whip and the woman holding a bow? They are rather interesting. They are no weaker than that Chu Yang, whom Bai Leng dealt with earlier."

"One is Shui Lingling, and the other is An Junxi. They are disciples of Primes and are very famous in the Tianwu Domain," Xuan Yan answered honestly.

Given that information, Lei Yun became even more interested. "Not bad, they should barely be able to fight against me. Bai Leng, watch carefully. You fighting against Chu Yang in a one-on-one fight is nothing. You can only be truly called capable by winning a one-on-two fight by a landslide."

"Boom!"

After Lei Yun spoke, he turned into a lightning bolt tearing through the sky, flashing as he moved.

Bai Leng smiled faintly, not paying any mind.

Following that, several Demon Crown Scions could no longer suppress their urge to fight. They found opponents that caught their attention and charged over.

Immediately, the situation of the various outstanding talents of the Kunlun Realm deteriorated even further.

With Shui Lingling leading the Supreme Sky Sect disciples and An Junxi leading the Thunder and Lightning Palace disciples, they did not lose many disciples before they managed to reach the final line of encirclement of the fourteen Demon Royal Halls.

When it looked like safety was at hand, a bolt of lightning suddenly flew over, and Lei Yun blocked them.

"Thunder Demon Crown Scion!"

The four Moon Demon Royal Hall Protectors guarding this section bowed immediately.

"Leave these two to me," Lei Yun said with a faint smile as he pointed at Shui Lingling and An Junxi.

The four Moon Demon Royal Hall Protectors rejoiced. This Shui Lingling and An Junxi were very difficult to deal with. Even with the four of them working together, they could achieve only a draw at best.

With Lei Yun helping to block them, it would be much easier for the four Protectors to deal with the other disciples of the Thunder and Lightning Palace and the Supreme Sky Sect.

"Yes, sir!"

After saying that, the four Protectors led the other Demons and charged over. Lei Yun raised his hand and stopped them. Then, he looked at Shui Lingling. "I'll give you two a chance. If you work together and can defeat me, I'll let you all go."

An Junxi and Shui Lingling exchanged glances. Then, they raised their hands to get their people to stop as well.

"I'll attack first and test him out," An Junxi said; he sensed that this person was very strong and did not dare to be careless.

Shui Ling nodded in agreement.

The True Dragon Lightning Whip in An Junxi's hand became like a phantom, stretching infinitely long as he swung it at Lei Yun.

"Rumble…" Dull thunder resounded in the sky, causing the might of the whip to soar rapidly. When it arrived before Lei Yun, its might was already very frightening.

"Not bad, your will of thunder already reached the peak. Furthermore, your usage of it—layering it—is very exquisite. Your mastery is pretty high."

The whip was about to arrive, but Lei Yun was still in the mood to evaluate it, waiting for it to reach him.

Even more intense thunder resounded behind Lei Yun, completely suppressing the thunder that An Junxi materialized.

After that, Lei Yun reached out and grabbed hard, easily and casually catching the True Dragon Lightning Whip. Then, he yanked, causing An Junxi to fly forward with it.

How can it be? His cultivation is clearly the same as mine. Why is the difference so big? An Junxi was extremely shocked. The other party was also a Sixth Heaven Martial Emperor, but their strengths were on completely different levels.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

An Junxi was flung around and sent crashing heavily into the ground. This happened three times, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Let go!"

Shui Lingling discovered that An Junxi's lightning-attributed energy was suppressed to the point where it could not circulate, so she quickly fired an arrow.

Lei Yun's figure flashed as he dodged. He did not dare to receive the attack of this arrow from a Transcendent Divine Weapon.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Lei Yun dodged three arrows. He knew that he was far from being Shui Lingling's match in long-range combat; he could only defeat Shui Lingling quickly in close quarters. After dodging the third arrow, he turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly charged over.

Shui Lingling's Movement Technique was no weaker than Lei Yun's, allowing her to move very swiftly. Lei Yun smiled as he gave chase.

The Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow could be used as a close combat weapon as well. Hence, Shui Lingling's close combat abilities were also quite extraordinary.

Unfortunately, Lei Yun was clearly stronger. Furthermore, there was his strange Movement Technique. With every step he took, a crackling electric light appeared under his feet. Without Shui Lingling noticing, he laid a lightning formation.

When the formation was completed, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket surged out from the ground.

"Bang!" The bolt of lightning blasted Shui Lingling into the sky, covering her body in electricity that crackled nonstop.

"Whoosh!"

The True Dragon Lightning Whip turned into a dragon and surged over. An Junxi caught his breath and charged at the Thunder Demon.

"Brat, you are far from able to compete with me in lightning. My will of thunder already broke through and formed an Innate Thunder Crystal!"

Lei Yun smiled faintly and glared ferociously at that lightning dragon.

A boundless might of thunder burst forth, scaring that lightning dragon into trembling. With this one glare, it forced the lightning dragon back. When the light vanished, the lightning dragon was once more a whip with nine segments.

In regard to the Thunder Dao, Lei Yun completely suppressed An Junxi. This was as good as An Junxi losing half his combat prowess when fighting him.

Shui Lingling was weaker in close combat. After a few exchanges, the two were thwarted by Lei Yun. They could not see any chance of victory at all.

"First Senior Sister, go on first. I'll delay him," Situ Gang shouted. Then, he raised the ice sculpture and hurled it at Lei Yun.

"Three against one? I don't mind, haha! What is this lousy thing? Break for me!"

Lei Yun did not get angry. As he looked at the ice sculpture flying over, he threw a punch with electric light bursting out.

A dull crash resounded, and the ground trembled. The fist flickering with electric light did not shatter the ice sculpture. Instead, it activated the Saber Might in Xiao Chen's body. While Xiao Chen was unconscious, the Saber Might spread out automatically.

All the Supreme Sky Sect cultivators around, as well as the Demons, felt a scary aura and backed off quickly.

"How heavy and cold! What is this strange thing?"

The black cloth on the ice sculpture slipped off, and Lei Yun immediately felt so cold that he shivered. He could not deal with the ice sculpture with one hand. The Saber Might that it gave off was as vast as the ocean and as heavy as the mountains.

So, he quickly switched to two hands, but he still could not handle it. "Boom!" The ice sculpture knocked him to the ground.

When the many Crown Scions saw this scene from a distance, they all laughed boisterously.

The Thunder Demon Royal Hall's Crown Scion, one of the top five Crown Scions of the eighteen Royal Demon Halls, got knocked down by an ice sculpture.

"It truly lives up to being the corpse of an ancient powerhouse. Even after death, it still possesses such might!" Without intending to, Situ Gang suppressed a Demon Crown Scion. He felt delighted and quickly helped Shui Lingling up.

As Shui Lingling looked at Lei Yun, who was trapped under the ice sculpture and struggling, many thoughts flashed in her head.

In the end, rationality prevailed over impulse. The lives of her sect's disciples were more important than one ancient ice sculpture.

"Come, let's leave this place."

After saying that, Shui Lingling and An Junxi decided to break through this final line of encirclement before making further plans.
