Chapter 286: Admitting Defeat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[The Human Emperor Sword, also known as the Demon-Slaying Sword, did not belong to the human race initially. Instead, it was a demon-slaying sword specially refined by the Shamans in order to suppress the demons during the great war between the Liches.

[It could be said that as long as the opponent was a demon, this sword would have a great restraining effect.

[For example, just now, even though Great Sage Heaven Battering’s cultivation level was one level higher and his combat techniques were very powerful, it was still very difficult for him to block even a sword beam you sent out.

“How can this be?”

“Is this Blackwind so strong?”

“I feel like there’s something strange about the sword in his hand…”

…

[The spectating Demon Sages also started to discuss.

[Originally, the many Demon Sages present didn’t think much of you, but after you sent Great Sage Heaven Battering flying, even Great Sage Demon Ox now looked at you with more caution.

“d.a.m.n it, go and eat…”

[On the contrary, Great Sage Heaven Battering, who was in the middle of the battlefield, felt a great humiliation.

[After all, Great Sage Heaven Battering was a veteran Demon Sage. Back then, during the heaven-destroying battle, he had made a name for himself. Being forced back by you with a single sword was something that Great Sage Heaven Battering could not accept.

[Great Sage Heaven Battering waved the mace in his hand once again. With a flash, he instantly appeared in front of you.

[The mace brought with it the power to destroy heaven and earth as it smashed toward your face.

[You were already prepared for this. You didn’t dodge the killing blow. Instead, you stabbed straight at Great Sage Heaven Battering’s heart.

[After your brain’s rapid calculation, you had already calculated that even if you received Great Sage Heaven Battering’s attack head-on, you would at most be heavily injured.

[And if your sword stabbed Great Sage Heaven Battering, given the Human Emperor Sword’s demon-slaying attribute, it would be fatal.

[All the demons outside the arena were focused on the battlefield.

[Primordial Sage Nine Spirit had already stood up, ready to end the battle at any time.

“d.a.m.n it…”

[At the last moment, Great Sage Heaven Battering suddenly pulled back, his body instantly flying 1,000 feet away and dodging the heart-piercing strike.

[He had already sensed that if he persisted in smashing down and was pierced through the heart by the sword, he would definitely die in this battle.

[You forced Great Sage Heaven Battering back with a single sword. You had a smile on your face. You didn’t intend to become the King of all Demons in this battle.

[Although it was said to be a battle among the demons, the position of the King of all Demons had already been decided internally.

[Even if you entered the finals, you were afraid that Primordial Sage Nine Spirit would make a move at the last moment and let Great Sage Demon Ox obtain the t.i.tle of King of all Demons.

[Thus, after you displayed your strength, you decisively said to Primordial Sage Nine Spirit, “I admit defeat…”

[Then, you directly flew out of the arena.

The demons below the arena were all dumbfounded.

‘You just started fighting. How could you admit defeat!?’

[Only a few Demon Sages were deep in thought as if they understood your reasoning.

[Actually, your reasoning was very simple. You just wanted to rely on this big tree of the Demon race and then complete the mission and eat Tang Sanzang’s flesh first.

[As for your future development, it would depend on your control.

[After you displayed your strength, all the Demon Sages were very polite to you. Even Great Sage Heaven Battering saluted you politely.

[From his point of view, you were giving him face and did not want to fight to the death with him. Otherwise, it was not certain who would win in the battle between the two of you.

[Primordial Sage Nine Spirit nodded in satisfaction and announced, “Great Sage Blackwind has admitted defeat. For the second round, Great Sage Heaven Battering has won…”

[Following that, the next round of balloting was carried out.

“For the third round, Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast versus Great Sage Ventilation.”

[Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast held a long spear and walked onto the stage arrogantly.

[Great Sage Ventilation also walked onto the stage with an iron staff in his hand.

[As a new Demon Sage, Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast naturally wanted to show off its abilities just like you.

[However, Great Sage Ventilation’s abilities were normal among the Demon Sages. Still, his cultivation level was two levels higher than Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast.

[After a huge battle, Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast was injured all over, but Great Sage Ventilation was unharmed.

[All the demons could see that even the Demon Sages were clearly different in strength.

[A newly advanced Demon Sage like Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast was easy to beat to death by Great Sage Ventilation.

[With Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast as a foil, all the demons looked at you with respect.

[You could not help but sigh,

‘It’s not that I’m outstanding. It’s all because of my peers…’

[Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast was proud and unyielding. How could he endure such humiliation? Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast directly used its intrinsic divine ability. Nine beast heads suddenly grew out from the back of its head and rapidly bit toward Great Sage Ventilation.

[Great Sage Ventilation did not expect that Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast would actually use this move. In a moment of desperation, it directly used its full strength and swept out with its staff.

[Although the nine beast heads bit Great Sage Ventilation from different directions, Great Sage Ventilation’s staff was clearly faster.

[And his staff did not hit the beast heads that were biting towards him. Instead, it directly hit Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast’s body.

“Use one punch to avoid a hundred punches.”

[This time, not only did it send Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast flying, even the nine heads that were attacking him were not charging forward. Instead, they were sent flying backward by the body of Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast.

[After landing on the ground, Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and pa.s.sed out.

“The third round, Great Sage Ventilation wins…”

[After Primordial Sage Nine Spirit announced his victory, he raised his hand and grabbed Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast’s body.

[After that, he injected some vital energy into him to stabilize Great Sage Nine-Headed Beast’s injuries.

[As the six Demon Sages had finished fighting, the last round was naturally between the two remaining Demon Sages, Great Sage Mountain-Moving and Great Sage G.o.d-Expelling.

[Both of them were veteran Demon Sages, and their powers were about the same. After a while, Great Sage G.o.d-Expelling admitted defeat.

[In the end, Great Sage Demon Bull, Great Sage Heaven Battering, Great Sage Ventilation, and Great Sage Mountain-Moving engaged in the last round of chaotic battles.

[You finally understood why there was a need for this battle.

[This was a personal show specially made for Great Sage Demon Bull.

[In the arena, Great Sage Demon Bull dominated the three demons.

[All of them unleashed their full power without holding back. Great Sage Demon Bull’s strength had reached the level of fighting against three powerful Demon Sages at the same time!

[Moreover, in the beginning, Great Sage Demon Bull was slightly suppressed. As the battle dragged on, Great Sage Demon Bull gradually recovered.

[He even seemed to be suppressing the three Demon Sages.

[All the demons had their mouths wide open. It was not an exaggeration to say that Great Sage Demon Bull was the strongest demon.

[He was one of the three veteran Demon Sages. Any one of them could shake the three realms.

[Great Sage Demon Bull could fight three of them at once.

[Primordial Sage Nine Spirit nodded repeatedly. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with Great Sage Demon Bull’s battle strength.

[Finally, after Great Sage Demon Bull’s powerful ax slash, the three Demon Sages were defeated.]
