The Human Emperor c1-2382

The gap between the two was a massive chasm!
But to his surprise, the Wang Chong who had been forced to avoid them and flee from the capital to the northwest had actually defeated an Immortal.
The Goat Immortal might have been the weakest of the three Immortals, but he was definitely an existence that mortal warriors of this world could not compare to.
“How could this be!?”
The bamboo hat leader’s mind was reeling in shock. For the first time, he sensed that he had deeply underestimated this Child of Destruction!
Whoooah!
On the other side, Wang Chong somersaulted in the air and smoothly landed back on the ground.
Bang!
“Wonderful!”
“Kill these men in black!”
“The Demonic Emperor’s disciple! The Demonic Emperor’s disciple!”
Wang Chong’s landing seemed to be like a shot in the arm to the crowd of martial artists, and all of them raised their weapons in elation as they cheered. These men in black were simply too strong, and they had been slaughtered like lambs as they fled here.
These men in black had driven them here with the intent of massacring them all in one fell swoop.
Their panicked hearts were truly in dire need of someone who could rally them.
While one side rallied, the other fell. The morale of the men in black plunged, and their two remaining leaders had nasty scowls underneath their masks.
“Bastard!”
The man with the golden-red tiger mask said nothing, but at this moment, the Deer Immortal, with his three-eyed deer mask, suddenly took two steps forward, his eyes completely focused on Wang Chong.
The title of ‘Immortal’ represented supreme prestige and glory, an existence deeply revered by all the men in black. In front of the Immortals, no one could resist. For Wang Chong to defeat one Immortal in front of so many was simply unforgivable.
“Let me come and kill him!” the Deer Immortal suddenly said, his words directed at the Tiger Immortal behind him.
The Tiger Immortal said nothing, but his eyes gleamed with an inscrutable light.
Goat, Deer, Tiger—these three Immortals were a team, and of the three, the Tiger Immortal was the strongest and possessed the highest status. When the Tiger Immortal was present, the Deer Immortal had to follow his lead and obtain his approval before acting.
After a long while, the Tiger Immortal finally nodded. “Mm.”
“Hmph!”
After receiving the Tiger Immortal’s approval, the Deer Immortal began to slowly walk forward. His pace was slow and the length of his stride not very great, but each step exuded the power of a storm.
As the Deer Immortal walked forward, an extremely cold and boundless energy began to rise from his body and spread throughout the area. The temperature rapidly plunged, the contrast like that between a scorching summer day and the depths of a winter blizzard.
Buzz!
The Deer Immortal’s move caused the cheering crowd to fall silent. Everyone began to watch the Deer Immortal’s movements, the air growing tense.
The martial artists swallowed and turned to Wang Chong.
Wang Chong was not a member of the martial arts world, and he was even the Demonic Emperor’s disciple. But nobody cared about that at this point. He was the only person who could contend against these three powerful and mysterious masked men.
All of their lives were tied to Wang Chong. He was their only hope.
In this silence, Vice Alliance Lord Xie Guangting suddenly spoke. “I truly didn’t think that the one who would save us in the end would be the Demonic Emperor’s disciple who we so despised.” While his face was devoid of emotion, there was a complicated mixture of emotions in his eyes.
Both Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting were extremely proud individuals, and at any other place, the two of them would never have been willing to be even slightly connected to Wang Chong. But it was no longer their decision at this point. Even if they weren’t thinking about themselves, they had to consider the Righteous Alliance disciples behind them.
“It seems like the tremor that drew everyone here was caused by him. That sword is probably the legendary Origin Immortal Sword. But he’s already been through several battles. He might not have enough strength to defeat these men in black alone.
“This kid needs our help!”
Xie Guangting communicated with Song Yuanyi through a voice transmission art. If Wang Chong had heard these words, he would have undoubtedly been stunned. After all, back on the mountain, Xie Guangting had been determined to kill him.
But now, he was the first to propose helping Wang Chong, and he apparently had a rather high opinion of this member of the evil path.
“Mm!”
Song Yuanyi merely grunted, his eyes flashing. But for Xie Guangting, this simple grunt contained far too many emotions.
“Kid, you’ve truly got a lot of luck!” At this moment, a thunderous voice resounded in everyone’s ears.
The Deer Immortal suddenly stopped several dozen feet in front of the passage entrance. The cold metal mask on his face completely concealed his emotions.
But the chill in his voice made one’s heart freeze.
Wang Chong smiled and retorted, “Heh, it’s not my luck! If I don’t want to die, no one in this world can kill me!”
As a reincarnator, he had relied on his formidable obsession to overcome death and seize this chance at revival. No matter what, he could not die until he accomplished his mission, could not allow anyone to take his life.
But the Deer Immortal had clearly misunderstood Wang Chong’s meaning.
“Hmph, is that so?”
A cold light gleamed in those eyes peering from the golden mask, and then the Deer Immortal attacked.
Bang!
The air for several hundred feet around the passage howled upward like a great wave, and the Deer Immortal vanished like a ghost.
“Chong-er, careful!” the Demonic Emperor Old Man worriedly shouted.
“Master, relax!”
A mental wave resounded in the minds of the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief. A moment later, Wang Chong also vanished.
These men in black were each stronger than the last. The Deer Immortal was much stronger than the Goat Immortal and his speed much faster. But no matter how fast the Deer Immortal was, Wang Chong had spread his tangible Psychic Energy out like a spider web, and no movement technique could escape his perception.
“Found it!”
When everyone else was searching for any sign of the Deer Immortal, Wang Chong raised his head and half-closed his eyes. His perception had already found the Deer Immortal’s position.
He was standing above Wang Chong, thirty to forty meters from the ground.

Boom!
Wang Chong shot forward, and as everyone watched on, the two supreme experts collided like comets. Boom! Powerful shockwaves with immense force exploded outward.
In the air, forty to fifty meters from the ground, the Deer Immortal and Wang Chong fiercely collided against each other, one gold and one white, two scorching suns battling for supremacy. Their light was so blinding that the martial artists could hardly open their eyes.
“Immortals Pursue the Deer!”
“Life Execution!”
The callous voices of the Deer Immortal and Wang Chong rang out in everyone’s ears. The bleating of deer began to resound through the air and clouds began to gather. Rumble! Six thick golden arms, bursting with muscle, suddenly began to punch at Wang Chong from various directions.
‘Immortals Pursue the Deer’!
The six massive arms naturally represented the Immortals pursuing the deer. When breaking the Origin Immortal Formation, the Deer Immortal had only used two of these arms, but they had been wholly sufficient to tear apart t
he formation’s defensive barrier. One could easily conjecture what the power of six arms would be.
Even Song Yuanyi had to grimace upon seeing this attack that seemed like the judgment of the Immortals.
Worry appeared in everyone’s eyes. The Deer Immortal was far too powerful, much more frightening than the Goat Immortal. And once Wang Chong was defeated, all of them would be doomed.
But both Song Yuanyi and the Deer Immortal had clearly underestimated Wang Chong!
Waves of scorching and frightening Subtle realm energy converged on Wang Chong’s body, and Wang Chong’s power continued to swell to frightening heights.
More importantly, as he clashed with the Deer Immortal, Wang Chong immediately sent his mind into the white chess piece hidden within his bosom, communicating with the thoughts that the peerless sword expert Su Zhengchen, the uncrowned king of the Central Plains, had left upon it.
Just like how the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art had techniques like the Great Yin Yang Art, Vast Heaven Earth Art, and Great Destruction Art that could maximize one’s energy, the Art of God and Demon Obliteration naturally had its own. And though this art was second to the Origin Immortal Art, when it came purely to offensive power, this supreme sword art even surpassed it.
The Art of God and Demon Obliteration, as the world’s most terrifying sword art, was not so simple and straightforward that its power was expressed by swinging one’s sword. It contained its own frightening sword techniques, but Wang Chong had always been at the level of minor understanding, so he had naturally been unable to use these supreme techniques.
But that was then, and this was now…
‘Life Execution’!
This was the first technique that Wang Chong had comprehended from the white chess piece. Not even Wang Chong had imagined that Senior Su had left behind a part of his will and the techniques of the Art of God and Demon Obliteration within the chess piece.
Rumble!
A destructive intent that surpassed time and space rose up from Wang Chong’s body. This pure and somber sword intent was imbued with a dreadful energy that would make any living being tremble in fear.
This sword was meant solely for taking lives!
The path of the sword was the path of killing!
A soldier needed to be fierce. The apex of the path of the sword was to live by killing. Only immense slaughter could display the full power of the path of the sword. When all living beings in the world could be executed, what else remained to be killed?
As Wang Chong infused his mind into the sword intent of the ‘Life Execution’, he suddenly understood why Su Zhengchen had refused the request of so many nobles to pass down this supreme technique to anyone.
This sword art emphasized killing too much!
This was never met for kings and sovereigns to use. How could a sovereign who could kill all living beings possibly be a wise sovereign?
Only Great Generals on the border could fully express its power.
Boomboomboom!
As this thought flitted through his mind, Wang Chong’s Sword Qi and the Deer Immortal’s attack fiercely collided.
The sword split itself into six, each one moving to block one arm of the Deer Immortal’s ‘Immortals Pursue the Deer’.
The Deer Immortal called out in a cruel tone, “Brat, you can’t—”
He had just been about to say ‘you can’t win’, but a moment later, a destructive sword intent slammed into his mind.
The destructive sword intent of this attack divided into thousands of strands that began to assail the Deer Immortal’s mind.
The Deer Immortal’s face froze in shock, and he failed to finish his sentence.
He had thought that he had stopped Wang Chong’s sword technique, never imagining how terrifying it could be. Stopping the Sword Qi alone was not enough. One also had to block the vicious sword intent as well.
A significant amount of the Deer Immortal’s mind had been eaten away by this sword intent.
The Deer Immortal’s heart shivered, and he immediately cast aside all his disregard for Wang Chong and began to fiercely battle with him.
“Bastard! No matter what, you must die!”
The Deer Immortal narrowed his eyes as killing intent erupted in his heart. At the same time, the six golden arms began to rain down attacks at Wang Chong from various directions.
Each blow from these arms was enough to sunder mountains. Their attacks were fast, vicious, and constantly changing position.
The martial artists on the ground turned ghastly pale at this offensive, gulping in fear.
Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, and the Myriad Ghost Ancestor also had solemn expressions, deep fear in their eyes.
The Deer Immortal was unimaginably powerful. Only one of those arms would be difficult to take, and Wang Chong had to deal with six at once.
“Come! Let me see just how much ability you have!”
Dazzling bolts of Sword Qi tore through the air, slamming into the golden energy of the Deer Immortal.
Wang Chong’s voice brimming with fighting intent resounded through the air.
The stronger, the better!
This was a unique aspect of Wang Chong’s personality. The Deer Immortal’s immense strength would have made a normal person afraid to fight, but it only further stimulated Wang Chong’s fighting intent.
Bang!
The air howled as a grandiose bolt of Sword Qi twenty to thirty feet long tore through the air and slammed into a massive golden arm.
Before the light of the first bolt had begun to fade, the second bolt was shooting forward.
A third, a fourth, a fifth… Wang Chong’s bolts of Sword Qi were like an endless river, ceaselessly coming forward, each one intent on tearing apart the heavens.
These dreadful bolts of Sword Qi slammed into the massive Immortal arms, each collision making the martial artists and men in black pale in shock.
“How could this be? Just how powerful is this kid?!”
The most shocked of all was the Black Yin Ancestor, who frequently referred to Wang Chong as just a ‘kid’ or ‘brat’.
He had been completely pessimistic about Wang Chong’s chances before the battle, not because of his grudge against Wang Chong, but because the masked men leading the men in black were simply too powerful. But this battle before him was upsetting his understanding of the world.
In the little time that had passed, Wang Chong seemed to have completely transformed, his strength rising to inconceivable levels.
If Wang Chong had displayed this fearsome cultivation level from the very start, the Black Yin Ancestor would have never dared to make any trouble for him. Let alone pursuing, he would have kept very, very far away.
Song Yuanyi was just as stunned as his evil path counterpart.
Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting looked up at the air, their eyes constantly flashing.
The heaven-shaking battle had left them speechless, far exceeding the bounds of their imagination.
Boomboomboom!
As explosions rang out endlessly, Wang Chong and the Deer Immortal moved around like ghosts, their positions constantly shifting.
The Immortal techniques of the Deer Immortal were powerful, but the Art of God and Demon Obliteration was not one bit weaker.
The Deer Immortal’s advantage in strength and speed were completely matched by Wang Chong’s tangible Psychic Energy and the offensive might of the sword.
One shockwave after another was created by their clashes, drowning the entire core region in a storm.
The winds blew so hard that they seemed as heavy as mountains, and they blasted into the rock walls.
Even the thick fog in the distance had thinned, and more than ninety percent of the lanterns lining the stone bridge had gone out. The remaining lanterns were at the very edge of the stone bridge, and these lanterns gave off a weak and flickering light.
The more the Deer Immortal battled, the more astonished he was. He had used e
very move in his arsenal, but he had still not been able to kill Wang Chong.
“Puny mortal, I’d like to see how long you can last!”
The Deer Immortal was infuriated. This was the first time he had ever encountered such a powerful foe, and this display in front of so many subordinates robbed him of all his dignity. But a moment later, the Deer Immortal felt a strange pulse of energy from the ground. Turning his senses to the area, the Deer Immortal instantly grimaced.

“Useless things!”
An icy voice came from the ground as a figure took a single step forward from the passage. The man wearing the golden-red tiger mask, the leader of the three masked men, had finally decided to intervene.
“In the end, do you still need my help?”
The Goat and Deer Immortals were unable to deal with a mere teenager! The Tiger Immortal had finally begun to grow impatient.
“Withdraw!”
A voice like a peal of thunder resounded over the battlefield, almost deafening everyone’s ears. Before the Deer Immortal could even react and retreat, the Tiger Immortal exploded with golden-red light, Immortal Stellar Energy rolling off him in waves. The Tiger Immortal had soared into the air to battle with Wang Chong.
“Chong-er, careful!”
“Stop him!”
Sensing danger, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and the Bone Devil Ancestor all paled. They shot up from the ground and charged at the Tiger Immortal, countless streams of Stellar Energy converging on the masked man.
Wang Chong was the strongest person on their side.
Wang Chong had just finished fighting the Goat Immortal and was still fighting the Deer Immortal. He could not fight the Tiger Immortal after all that. And if Wang Chong were defeated, none of them would be in much better condition!
Even without exchanging any words, all of them had agreed on the same course of action.
