Capítulo 1752: Chapter 1721: Pawn
The sixth rank demon race cannot be said to be excessively strong, at least not stronger than Yue Gouchen.
But it’s also not fair to call them weak.
Because, when facing Yue Gouchen, it was him and Bai Shi together, and Bai Shi was a fifth rank heavenly king!
Ever since the cultivation technique was modified by Taoist magic, Li Chen’s analysis and comprehension of the cultivation technique had reached an astonishing level.
Or rather, Li Chen’s comprehension had never been weak before. It was just that, after the modification by the Book of Daoist Laws, his comprehension beca even more astounding.
This sword was nad the Blade of Self-Slaughter by Li Chen, yet it was not considered one of his own sword techniques, because this sword was inspired by a sword from Daolan Heavenly King.
However, he only changed a few details.
In the eyes of that sixth rank demon race, he saw a blood-red large blade descending from the sky, giving him a feeling of being inescapable and unresistible.
This sword did not truly appear in his field of vision, but rather directly manifested in his mind, as if there was a shadow in his mind completely obscuring his sight.
Vision may deceive, but the mind will not.
And Li Chen’s sword penetrated directly into the mind.
“No! It can’t be like this!” Suddenly, the sixth rank demon roared hoarsely.
It was as if he was standing entirely in another realm, as all around him, the sky, the earth, and even Li Chen had vanished.
The place where he stood was a sea of blood.
Above the sea of blood was a giant blade that blocked out the sky.
“It’s impossible to block, but… how can I die here?!” Within the mind of this demon race powerhouse, it was as if two thoughts were born, constantly colliding, tearing, and devouring each other.
One side felt it was impossible to resist, urging him to give up.
While the other side was filled with anger, unwilling to succumb.
“I… want to beco a heavenly demon, beco a lord! How could I die here?!”
He himself could not see, but outside, Li Chen could see that blood began to seep from the seven orifices of this demon race powerhouse.
And this was only the beginning; with blood seeping from the seven orifices, his body also began to show cracks, with black-red blood continuously flowing from his fissured wounds.
Li Chen did not approach, since this sword was his doing, only he was most aware that this sword was the Blade of Self-Slaughter and also the Soul-Cutting Sword.
This sword aid not at killing this person, but at slaying his heart!
To make him believe from the depths of his heart that he was already dead.
When he truly believed he was dood, when he gave up the struggle, he indeed died.
This was also the most terrifying aspect of this sword.
“Skill as close to Dao,” Li Chen shook his head with so emotion, reflecting that without the insight gained from Daolan Heavenly King’s sword, mastering such a new ability might not have been possible.
This sword might not be very strong physically, but it was more vicious than any physical sword technique!
“Do I… really only have the road to death?”
“Were we driven by the lord from the Demon Realm to this strange place only to die?”
“Do I… deserve to die?”
Li Chen saw that although this demon began to struggle intensely, the struggle quickly weakened until finally, even the final bit of resistance was relinquished.
The light in the eyes of this sixth rank demon began to grow dim.
Li Chen did not approach, nor did he strike again, fearing that doing so might awaken the demon from this state.
At the sa ti, he felt relieved he didn’t make another move.
Because this sword was indeed too bizarre.
The strength of this sixth rank demon was sothing even Li Chen had to admit was formidable, so much so that without using a supre treasure, even a combination of Cease Spear and Wordless might struggle to kill him.
After all, a sixth rank cultivation was enough to break through the blockade of Cease Spear in the shortest ti.
And Wordless, unless in close combat, was too easy to dodge, unless Li Chen could blockade the entire area around the opponent when attacking.
Yet such a powerhouse, under this bizarre sword, his breath of life was becoming increasingly weak, his blood spurting out as if it cost nothing.
At the mont when the life of this demon race powerhouse was about to completely dissipate, he seed to finally awaken, suddenly opening his eyes.
Looking at Li Chen, the eyes of this demon race powerhouse were extrely complex, as he noticed his bodily condition upon awakening.
Not only was his body on the brink of collapse, but even his soul had begun to show small cracks.
Unlike Martial Artists from the Heaven Realm, the demon race’s soul would congeal into a crystal, and now his soul crystal was already covered in tiny cracks.
“Crack!”
The demon race powerhouse’s head suddenly tilted to one side as a sound resembling shattering glass emanated from within his body.
Gazing at Li Chen, the demon race powerhouse revealed a bitter smile.
“Still… fell a bit short.”
“It’s fine; at least I don’t have to think about these things anymore.” After the bitter smile, the face of the demon race powerhouse showed a hint of relief as he looked at Li Chen, “In truth, whether it was you or , we’re both just chess pieces, caught in the midst but unable to act on our own will.”
“After I die, I won’t need to worry about other things. What does a racial war or the Four Realms’ conflicts truly have to do with ?”
As he spoke, the cracks on the demon realm powerhouse’s body increased.
Li Chen did not make another move nor did he speak again, rely watching the demon realm powerhouse of the Kuotian Realm cultivation from the Heaven Realm in silence.
Once, wasn’t a Mid-Heaven Realm also an unattainable powerhouse in his eyes?
Once, didn’t even a Yellow Rank Mysterious Grade require him to look up?
Was it all controlled by soone behind the scenes?
Was he truly just a chess piece?
“Perhaps you were a chess piece, but now everything I have is because of my continuous struggle, so I refuse to be soone else’s piece!” Li Chen said coldly.
“Heh heh,” the demon realm powerhouse chuckled, saying nothing more.
In the next mont, his body instantly shattered like porcelain.
And the fragnts of this ‘porcelain’ transford into tiny dust particles in the air, completely dispersing.
The six rank demon realm powerhouse had fallen.
Li Chen lowered his head, gazing downward where the battle was also nearing its end with Bai Shi’s assistance.
“It’s ti to ask for so clarity,” Li Chen murmured, as his body slowly descended from the sky.
