Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator - Chapter 470: Frustrated devil emperor

“Husband is so talented! How can he use his Sword heart so efficiently?”, Shui Liying thought to herself. She decided to join the battle alongside Zhan Chen to fight with the devil emperor.

The devil emperor became more cautious as he looked towards Zhan Chen. Compared to his cautious approach, Zhan Chen had a carefree expression on his face.

“Devil emperor, tell me. What are you doing in the vicinity of the Grey ash city?”, Zhan Chen asked the crimson haired devil infront of him. There was a hint of surprise on his face as he observed the wound he had inflicted upon the devil. At this moment, the wound was recovering on it’s own at a visible pace.

“I have nothing to tell to you humans. My only task is to stop you two from leaving this place”, the devil emperor spoke. He vanished into thin air after speaking with Zhan Chen.

“Husband, watch out. I can’t sense him anymore”, Shui Liying shouted. She flew towards Zhan Chen after the devil emperor vanished.

Two vertical shashes came flying towards Shui Liying while she was flying towards Zhan Chen. The attack came from an unexpected angle which ensured that Shui Liying couldn’t dodge them.

Zhan Chen was expecting this trick from the devil. So, he was already prepared. He launched a long slash towards the twin attacks which was coming for Shui Liying.

“Boom!”, both the attacks collided in the mid air while Shui Liying closed the distance between herself and Zhan Chen. There was an expression of contentment and pride on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

‘Husband is getting powerful very quickly. It has been only a short while since the beginning of our relationship. Yet he is already able to protect me from an enemy emperor’, she thought to herself. Standing beside Zhan Chen, she felt a sense of security and confidence which she had not felt since the appearance of the enemy emperor.

“Devil emperor, do you think you can hide from me?”, Zhan Chen asked. He held Shui Liying by her waist and looked towards a certain direction in the sky. n./-/)-.—/)I-(n

There was no response from the devil as only the eeerie silence answered back his question. Shui Liying also looked with her soul consciousness in hope that she could find a trace of the enemy emperor.

An attack came from there behind after they looked for a while. The attack was much faster than the previous attack and it aimed for both her’s and Zhan Chen’s body.

Zhan Chen turned around almost at the exact moment after the devil launched his attack. “Wind cutting sword”, he muttered and launched a piercing slash at the attack coming towards them.

“Come out from your hiding, Mountain slashing sword”, he followed with another attack after intercepting the attack of the devil. This time he launched his attack towards a different direction which confused Shui Liying.

But to her surprise, the devil emperor appeared in that exact direction where Zhan Chen had sent an attack. He launched an attack with his sabre to negate Zhan Chen’s Mountain slashing sword technique.

“Human brat, how can you see through my concealment?”, the devil emperor looked towards Zhan Chen with a bewildered expression. Within a short time period, the puny human had given him too many shock and surprises.

“Liying, don’t worry about me. It is a rare chance for me to fight without any inhibition. I will take this chance to hone my skills properly. Moreove, I can familiarize myself with my sword”, Zhan Chen spoke. Shui Liying was slight worried but she still nodded her head.

‘Only if we are fighting on the land. In the sky, I can barely do anything with my wood element’, she thought to herself. She focused her attention on Zhan Chen who was about to clash with the devil.

“Human brat, you seem rather eager to battle. No matter how crafty you are, you can’t close the gap between the Law glimpse realm and the Heavenly tribulation realm”, the devil spoke. He tried to appear calm and collected but inwardly, he was weary towards Zhan Chen’s abilities.

‘I will just crush him with absolute power. It will be problematic for our Abhorst empire if such a crafty human brat remain alive and participate in the upcoming battles’, the devil emperor thought to himself. He circulated essence energy inside his body and his long crimson hair fluttered in the air.

“Human brat, come. Let me see what trick you are going to play this time”, the devil emperor spoke. Despite his weariness, he was now determined to crush Zhan Chen for the glory of his Abhorst empire.

“Husband, be careful”, Shui Liying spoke from a distance. She could notice the change in aura of the devil emperor. Previously, he was putting up minimal effort but now the devil emperor appeared more than serious.

“Liying, don’t worry. I have nothing to fear infront of an emperor”, Zhan Chen replied without turning his head. A powerful aura came out from his body as he looked towards the devil emperor with battle intent.

“Hum”, the sword in the hand of Shui Liying trembled along with Celestial night. Both the swords trembled in excitement in the presence of a true swordsman.

‘Heaven is all encompassing. Earth is kind and warmer. Man is born with the blessings of heaven and earth. Heart is what connects us with the vast earth and the boundless heaven. I call upon my heart to evoke both heaven and earth.’

“Heart sword, Sacred luminescence”, Zhan Chen launched an attack after muttering few words. His muttering were indistict but it strangely rang in the mind of both Shui Liying and the devil emperor.

A beam of light which was bringhter than anything else flew towards the devil emperor. “Bastard, this is resonance with the heaven”, the devil emperor hurriedly put up a thick barrier to protect himself. As for an attack to counter Zhan Chen’s technique, he didn’t get any time to think about it as Zhan Chen’s attack descended on him with a breathtaking speed.

“Boom!”, infront of Zhan Chen’s attack, the barrier of the devil emperor was like a piece of glass. It crumbled quickly and the attack fell upon the armour that the devil emperor was wearing.

It was a sorry sight as the devil master got blasted towards a distance. There was a deep wound in both of his hands as his hands were not protected by the armour he was wearing. There was a visible dent on his magical armour which upset the devil emperor.

“Freakish bastard”, the devil emperor roared out. He looked towards Zhan Chen’s direction but couldn’t find him in his location. Before he could look towards another direction, an attack came crashing towards his head.

The devil emperor hurriedly put up another barrier around his body and tried to protect himself. The attack from Zhan Chen again shattered his energy barrier and blasted him off towards the ground.

Shui Liying’s eyes lit up after she saw the devil emperor getting blasted off towards the ground. She sent a mental communication to Zhan Chen after he launched his attack.

“Husband, can you leave the enemy to me. I promise, I will do my best to defeat our enemy”, Shui Liying spoke. There was eagerness to fight in her eyes as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

“Okay, I will leave him to you”, Zhan Chen spoke. He was planning to try few more techniques on the devil emperor but indulging Shui Liying was a priority for him. Moreover, he wanted to see how Shui Liying perform in the battle.
