As Expected of a Demon of the Sky Demon Sect, You Can Escape Even Like This!

The people of the Purple Star Sect were shocked as Mystique was in torment right now. He was a perfected late-stage Golden Core Realm expert, an elder of the Sky Demon Sect. When was the last time he had been in such a sorry state?

No matter how he attacked, he could not break through this fellow's physical defense!

Although his punches and kicks could not cause Mystique fatal damage, if it happened too many times, he would still be injured, even to the point of life-threatening damage! The main problem was that the fellow could control his Divine Lightning Sword Qi to launch sneak attacks, making the battle feel akin to fighting multiple opponents rather than just one.

"Damn it, damn it…"

Mystique's frustration was mounting; he needed to force Su'en back and think of alternatives to beat him.

Before he could move, however, Su'en punched him in the face. Bloody fangs flew out of Mystique's mouth.

"Divine Lightning Sword Technique, Annihilation Form!"

The moment Mystique pulled away, Su'en used the first move of the Divine Lightning Sword Technique to attack the demon. A large amount of Divine Lightning Sword Qi appeared from his body and gradually gathered into a bright white sword. An aura of lightning blazed around the Divine Lightning Sword as it rushed towards Mystique.

"Devil Bringer!"

Mystique prepared to activate the full force of his demonic aura and use his saber technique to block the massive sword, but suddenly realized he could not sense his aura. A sense of weakness seized him. He was doomed.

Mystique paled–the time limit for the Sky Demon Power buff had passed!

If it were any other occasion, he would definitely have remembered the time limit. But he had been beaten up time and time again by this fellow and had been too aggrieved, forgetting that his powers were in a special state.

Before he could react, Mystique was cut in half by the huge lightning sword that flew over. Blood spattered everywhere.

"What? He died just like that?" Su'en froze. He didn't expect the demon to be unable to withstand the attack and be killed just like that! Surely it wasn't possible? The two of them had been fighting for so long, Su'en was familiar with the damage inflicted by his own attack, and he knew that Mystique should have been able to resist that move.

Just as Su'en was about to go forward to check if Mystique was really dead, the lower half of the demon's body turned into a blood-red fog that blocked his vision.

"Damn you, boy, just you wait. One day we'll meet again!" a voice filled with rage called out far off in the distance.

"As expected, a demon of Northern Plains and the Sky Demon Sect isn't so easy to get rid of!" Sighing, Su'en chose not to go after him. The Northern Plains was a harsh place, and the demons there had more than a few tricks to save their lives, beyond the one he had just seen. Even if he chased Mystique, he might not be able to kill the demon. Moreover, he did not have any movement technique cultivation techniques now, so he wouldn't be able to catch up.

After noting the direction in which Mystique fled, Su'en recalled the Heavenly Domain disciples he had come to help and looked down.

"Those people inside should be Purple Star Sect disciples."

Su'en flew down. The defensive array formation had given out, leaving the disciples on the ground. Some of them looked at him strangely–so smitten it made Su'en feel a little uncomfortable.

"Senior!"

The female disciple behind Gu Chuyao tugged on her sleeve and gestured for her to stop ogling Su'en.

"What? Sorry, this is the first time I've seen a body that can emit golden light. I almost forgot where I was." After Gu Chuyao came to her senses, she quickly wiped her mouth and said, "Thank you very much for coming to save us. We're disciples of the Purple Star Sect, and I'm Gu Chuyao. May I know your name?"

"Su'en of the Dao Sect." As before, Su'en briefly introduced himself and his sect.

"The Dao Sect?" Gu Chuyao frowned in confusion. Was there such a sect in the Heavenly Domain? She had never heard of it. No–come to think of it, there was such a sect, just that it was the weakest of them all! But never mind. It didn't matter.

What was important was the striking physique of this senior!

Although the effects of a body-tempering cultivation technique were similar, the muscle lines they produced were different due to the cultivation method and one's own foundation. Some people would grow in size, but some people could maintain their figures to look like normal people. It made for a pleasing sight, like carved statues.

"The demon from the Sky Demon Sect isn't dead yet. He will definitely return to cause trouble for you in the future. Your Purple Star Sect better be prepared," Su'en said. "What was his name again? Oh, yes, his name is Mystique!"

"That damned devil!" At the mention of the demon, Gu Chuyao's eyes filled with anger. "If he hadn't ambushed me… I swear, I'll kill him the next time I see him! But never mind. Forget him."

She looked at Su'en again, starry-eyed. "Senior Su, may I ask where you obtained this body-tempering cultivation technique? This is the first time I've seen a disciple, who doesn't belong to the Purple Star Sect in the Heavenly Domain, with such a powerful body!"

"Our Dao Sect still mainly cultivates sword techniques. This body-tempering technique is just an opportunity I obtained by chance while I was out." Su'en smiled. Although Earth-rank cultivation techniques were rare, they were not that precious to the Purple Star Sect, so there was no problem with directly saying that he had obtained an opportunity. It served as a convenient, broad explanation anyway.

"I see. I was wondering why it looked so similar to the cultivation techniques of the Buddhist sects in the Western Heavens. But there's no issue. Aren't cultivation techniques researched for people to cultivate? Many disciples in our sect also cultivate Buddhist cultivation techniques." Su'en's explanation made Gu Chuyao want to ask other questions.

"Er! Shall we leave this place first?"

"To find our lost disciples?"

When the other three juniors saw that Gu Chuyao wanted to persist in asking questions, they quickly stopped her. Otherwise, who knew when they would leave!

"Oh yes, I almost forgot!" Gu Chuyao patted her head, as if suddenly retrieving her memory: it seemed like there had been more than the four of them when they had set out.

The other disciples had been injured by the demon of the Sky Demon Sect and hadn't been able to follow them. She'd been so attracted by Su'en's perfect body that she'd almost forgotten about the rest of them.
