Chapter 47;
"Kuaah!" A shout of pain resounded from the three elders as they were struck by Claw's technique. The three elders were pushed back by a hundred steps but thankfully the other elders were there to catch them and cushion their fall.
Using the momentary gap that Claw created when he performed his technique, the Great Guardian Marakyum utilized his movement technique Wind God Step and maneuver behind Claw.
"Hup!" He slashed his sword downward towards the latter's neck but Claw was much more aware and thus he was able to detect his sneak attack.
"Futile!" He weaved his clawed gauntlet upwards slashing up in an uppercut intending to impend the Great Guardian's sword but his hand was stopped by a sudden vibration of frequency.
Sound Wave of Destruction
Thankfully Hang Soyu was there to disrupt his clawed attack. Claw looked backed and saw Hang Soyu flickering her pipa creating harmonious deadly sound waves, waves of sound frequency paired with a great amount of Force Qi rendered his attack. The Great Guardian took the opportunity and slashed Claw's shoulder. His blade landed through his flesh and it would've teared through it further but the latter managed to take a huge step back.
"Tsk, can't believe I got injured by these measly attacks." Claw clicked his tongue from distaste and shame.
"Buhahahaha! It seems that our little friend is having a hard time! Let me help you out!" The swordsman jumped from the high rock he was standing on and joined the fight.
He immediately headed for Hang Soyu by treading his blade in the air creating a crescent slash of Force Qi that ripped through the air with the intention of taking Hang Soyu's arm.
Right Guardian Lee Hameng saw this and performed his Butterfly Sword Technique to interrupt the attack but it was too strong and he was sent back flying.
"I'm not gonna join in on your childish play, I'll take on the South Demon Lord myself." The unarmed master announced.
"Aye, aye captain!" Replied the two with giddiness.
The unarmed master, which by his aura seems to be the strongest, jumped down and aimed directly towards Cheon Yujong.
"Protect the Lord!!" Shouted Great Guardian Marakyum but he was stopped by Claw. The others who were going to go to the Lord's side was stopped by the two supreme masters.
"Are you underestimating me?" But even though a supreme master was heading towards him with an unknown and powerful martial art, the Lord, Cheon Yujong remained unfazed befitting of his position.
"Sword Force of the Sky Demon." He muttered slightly under his breath, then he unleashed a very powerful sword technique towards the unarmed master.
The ground shook and the air screamed from Cheon Yujong's magnificent technique. His sword incurred and the world trembled.
"Fancy technique for a fake one." unarmed master chuckled.
At those words Cheon Yujong's blade faltered for a split second. It was not known to many that the current Sword Force of the Sky Demon the current Lord and every previous Lord since the 7th Lord is using is a fake.
Long Long time ago, the true Sword Force Of the Sky Demon was lost due to the death of the 7th Lord. He was attacked by Blade God, because at that time he still does not have any heir to pass his sword technique to, it was lost with him when he died.
The Sword Demon managed to recover the sword technique, albeit a fake one only that he created based on the Sapphire Monolith Founder Cheon Ma left.
It was a much weaker and incomplete Sword Force of the Sky demon but still, it was enough.
It was the Cheon Family and the Sky Demon Order's greatest secret. Their shame to be exact.
"How dare you belittle my sword." Cheon Yujong spoke menacingly, then his sword clashed against the unarmed man's palm.
"Kuhahaha! That's right! Even if it's fake it should still be this powerful!!" Suddenly his calm facade broke down and was replaced by a maniac.
He intersperses his palm in an elaborate formation countering Cheon Yujong's powerful and beautiful technique.
Their Force Qi clashed against each other, the ground shook as if heaven itself was shattering from their exchange. The air screamed in pain from being torn apart by their powerful techniques.
Cheon Yujong was truly living up to the Five Strongest title.
But still, they are both supreme masters. In the original, Cheon Yujong lost this battle and was left with no choice but to use Divine Blood Reversion Art which gave him victory in exchange for his memory about his love in Cheon Yeowun.
The two techniques clashed but no clear winner was decided.
"Tsk. Amusing for a mere invader." Cheon Yujong said, though he was very aloof he was actually struggling.
"Ha! I could say the same to you, South Demon Lord!" Unarmed master replied.
"Hup!" Cheon Yujong weaved his sword once again creating a powerful formation that ensnared the unarmed master.
"Extreme Art of the Blade God!" Cheon Yujong's attack was powerful but it was countered by the unarmed master's technique.
Cheon Yujong was pushed back, he was sent three steps back by the unarmed master's formation of fist and palm.
"My lord!!" The cultist and the elders shouted seeing their lord being pushed back.
"Let's take this fight somewhere, South Demon Lord," afraid that the other cultists would join and ruin his fun. He strided off away from the rest and he gestured towards Cheon Yujong.
"Such a petty trick." Cheon Yujong followed.
"My Lord!!" They shouted once again, they tried to follow after but the other two supreme masters stopped them.
"Ta, ta, ta, your fight is here." The two supreme masters said coyly, teasingly, and provokingly.
"First Elder! Please go after the lord!!" Seeing that everyone was preoccupied, Great Guardian Marakyum shouted to the one closest to the lord. Cheon Mujin.
Cheon Mujin who was 'fighting' the swordsman with 'all' his might heard Marakyum's plea and nodded.
"I'm on it! great guardian!!" He shouted with worry but deep inside a malicious and treasonous thought was forming.
Cheon Mujin chased after the two. His wavy sword glistened with danger. Its sword seems to stab not its enemy but its ally.
