Chapter 8: Confronting a Qi Realm Expert

"Drinking blood? The Jade Emperor Sword is drinking blood?" Yan Chuan stared in astonishment at the sword hilt in his hand!

"Gulp, gulp!"

The Jade Emperor Sword was drawing blood from the Tricolor Divine Ox, and as it drank, the hilt of the sword turned completely crimson. Wisps of malevolent Qi emanated from the hilt.

"The malevolent Qi of the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus? No, not that malevolent Qi, this malevolent Qi has mutated!" Yan Chuan's expression changed.

"Schwing!"

Yan Chuan drew the Jade Emperor Sword.

The originally dark-black Jade Emperor Sword had now turned a vibrant scarlet, exceptionally bewitching. Wisps of bloody mist rose from the blade, and a surge of energy poured from the hilt directly into Yan Chuan's body.

"Hmph!" Yan Chuan's eyes widened. With a vibration of his hand, he violently dispersed the bloody mist.

The energy that was originally about to flood into his body was likewise shaken apart by Yan Chuan.

"The Jade Emperor Sword drinks blood, extracting the power of bloodlines and vital essence? And it actually tries to channel some back into me? Is the sword turning into a demon?" Yan Chuan furrowed his brow, looking at the scarlet sword in his hand.

"I understand. The essence of iron jade was tainted by the malevolent Qi of the Myriad Wonder Demon Lotus and mutated. Unfortunately, the vital essence you tried to feed back to me carries far too much malevolent Qi for me to handle!"

"Hum!" The Jade Emperor Sword trembled slightly.

"My second Sword of the Son of Heaven is actually an evil sword?" A strange look crossed Yan Chuan's face.

"Tricolor!" A grief-stricken cry suddenly echoed from afar.

A furious roar resounded across the entire parade ground, instantly snapping Yan Chuan back to reality. Now was not the time to ponder the mysteries of the Jade Emperor Sword.

Lifting his gaze, he looked into the distance at the enraged Third Senior Brother.

That Third Senior Brother of Liu Gang, Zhou彻 (Zhou Che), unleashed a fierce gale that swept in all directions. The powerful aura forced those nearby to stagger unsteadily.

"Whoosh!"

The Third Senior Brother lunged forward, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.

"Fire!"

A massive volley of Sunchasing Arrows shot toward him once again.

"Bang!"

As the Third Senior Brother Zhou Che raised his hand, a sudden wall of Qi materialized, and the feathered arrows all came to a dead halt one yard away from him.

"Truly the Qi Realm!" Yan Chuan's eyes narrowed as he stepped back.

The Third Senior Brother reached out to touch the Tricolor Divine Ox.

However, the Tricolor Divine Ox no longer had a shred of breath left; it was thoroughly dead.

"Dead... it's actually dead!" Fury surged in the Third Senior Brother's eyes.

He snapped his head around, fixing a chilling glare on Yan Chuan.

"You killed my demonic pet! I'll have you buried with it!" the Third Senior Brother said in an icy tone.

Clack, clack, clack!

All three thousand Brocade-Clad Guards drew their longbows in unison.

High up in the sky.

"Master, is that man really in the Qi Realm?" Yan Wudi asked anxiously.

"Indeed. To be able to form a Qi barrier, he must be in the Qi Realm, though he likely only just stepped into it not long ago," the Sword King Dugu nodded.

"The Force Realm, the Essence Realm, the Qi Realm? That man is a full two levels higher than my Royal Uncle! Master, won't you help my Royal Uncle?" Yan Wudi said with deep concern.

The Sword King Dugu narrowed his eyes as he looked down, a trace of puzzlement flashing through his gaze. However, seeing his disciple's plea, he nodded and said, "If Yan Chuan's life is in danger, I will save him!"

"Thank you, Master!" Yan Wudi nodded.

Meanwhile, some distance away.

Changqing and the young woman were also observing the scene below.

"This... Eldest Miss, is that man undoubtedly in the Qi Realm? Could it be that earlier, Yan Chuan...?" Changqing asked, finding it hard to believe.

"That's right. Yan Chuan deliberately provoked this Qi Realm expert!" The young woman nodded.

"But... but Yan Chuan couldn't possibly have known him. Among everyone here, at most Yan Chuan had only seen portraits of Emperor Yan and the others. For this Qi Realm expert to arrive today must be sheer coincidence!" Changqing frowned.

"Are you certain Yan Chuan had never met him before?" the young woman asked, surprised.
