Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

At the thank-you banquet of the Beggars' Sect's martial arts tournament.

Thousands of heroes in the martial arts world witnessed the Heavenly Demon Elder, a great demon, simultaneously dealing with three masters of the Great Free and Unfettered Realm, and still managing to do so with ease.

They were terrified.

This old devil is incredibly powerful.

Aren't those of us who stayed here at risk of dying at any moment?

Thinking about this, many people began to consider giving up.

But if they escape at this time, and are seen by someone with ulterior motives, their hard-earned reputation in the martial arts world will likely be ruined.

"That damned old devil!"

"How did he even survive until now?"

"Didn't they say he'd been reduced to ashes by those two top sects?"

Unable to blame the three great masters who fought so hard, the crowd could only curse the Heavenly Demon Elder.

At the same time, they also made two preparations in their minds.

On one hand, they waited for experts from Kyoto to come to their rescue.

Kyoto is the core of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the carefree life in Kyoto is not limited to Lu Chuan and Wang Ziyang.

There are even more powerful beings.

Once they arrive, no matter how formidable the Heavenly Demon Elder's strength is, he will have no choice but to flee.

Otherwise, this old devil might have been killed.

On the other hand, they quietly hid in the crowd.

As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your friend than for yourself."

That old devil was indeed incredibly cruel, but there was a limit to the number of people he could hunt each day.

They don't need to worry too much as long as they aren't selected too quickly.

Wang Ziyang grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, while Lu Chuan's brows furrowed deeply.

They were all renowned masters of the Great Freedom Sect, recognized as sword immortals by the people of the martial arts world.

Only masters at the peak of the Great Freedom Realm are qualified to receive such titles of Sword Immortal.

In terms of their cultivation level, they are definitely among the best martial artists, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them prodigies.

However, they were completely powerless against the Heavenly Demon Elder.

If they're not careful, they could both lose their lives here.

"Half-step to Supreme!!"

Lu Chuan had blood on the corner of his mouth as the three of them attacked each other for more than a dozen moves.

The Heavenly Demon Elder was unharmed, and Beggar Clan leader Chen Changfeng had a deep foundation.

Lu Chuan had blood on the corner of his mouth, and Wang Ziyang was severely weakened.

This made Lu Chuan realize with absolute clarity that the Heavenly Demon Elder standing in front of them had probably already broken through the Great Freedom realm.

He reached the legendary half-step supreme realm.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has a total of three Supreme Beings, who rarely have the opportunity to take action.

Those who truly roam the martial world and stand at the top of the pyramid are masters at the half-step supreme realm.

Masters of this caliber are usually top figures in the martial arts world...

Even before the Heavenly Demon Elder had fully recovered, he already possessed top-tier strength in the martial world. Once the old demon fully recovers, his strength will likely rival that of the Supreme Realm.

A supreme demon king.

Lu Chuan felt a chill creeping down his spine.

In contrast, the Heavenly Demon Elder, dressed in black, appeared calm and composed.

A cold sneer appeared on the young man's face: "According to your Great Zhou's system, only two Grandmasters are on duty in the capital on a rotating basis. It will take at least half an hour for the other Grandmasters to get here. I'll spare your lives, now get out of here and don't disturb me from enjoying my meal."

Lu Chuan and Wang Ziyang, the Swordsman, are both masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even though the Heavenly Demon Elder was lawless, he was unwilling to completely offend the Great Zhou Dynasty before he truly possessed sufficient strength.

After all, the Great Zhou Dynasty, besides its royal family's resources, could at least maintain contact with the two supreme rulers.

Once the Heavenly Demon Elder's actions made the Great Zhou royal family feel that the dignity of the court and the royal family had been challenged.

They will most likely ask the Supreme One for help.

And this is precisely what the Heavenly Demon Elder fears most at this stage.

Even though he was only half a step into the Supreme Realm, he was already very close to the strength of a Supreme Realm expert.

But a supreme being is a supreme being.

If he were to actually encounter the Supreme Being, he would have no choice but to flee in terror.

Although Lu Chuan and Shu Jianxian looked disheveled, they did not abandon Li Changqing.

Even though they saw the murderous intent in the eyes of the Heavenly Demon Elder, the two gritted their teeth and stayed behind, protecting Li Changqing on both sides so that he would not be isolated and helpless.

"well!!"

The old man of the Heavenly Demon rarely showed kindness, but he never expected that these two hotheads would be so ungrateful.

Then you can't blame him.

Although he had concerns, would the Great Zhou Dynasty really use the Emperor's favor for the sake of Da Xiaoyao?

It remains to be seen.

Even if he killed the two people in front of him, he might not encounter the kind of danger he imagined.

Even if we encounter him, he can just run away.

While martial artists at the Supreme Realm are undoubtedly powerful, they are not omnipotent.

Thinking of this, the Heavenly Demon Elder already harbored murderous intent.

If he could absorb two Great Free Spirits, his strength would definitely reach a new level.

Perhaps he can break through to the Supreme Realm.

Once he breaks through to the Supreme Realm, he will have essentially recovered 80% of his previous power.

Then he can directly seek revenge on the disciples and followers of those two sects.

Even that old codger in Kyoto, he doesn't need to be as afraid as he is now.

Thinking of this, the old demon's hands were filled with black true energy, which eventually condensed into two skeletal hands.

"Heavenly Demonic Technique, Heavenly Demonic Handprint!!"

Two giant skeletal hands descended upon Lu Chuan and Wang Ziyang.

This giant skeletal hand doesn't look fast, but it's incredibly sinister.

No matter how hard Lu Chuan and Wang Ziyang tried to hide, they couldn't escape.

Li Changqing, left standing aside, had already guessed the Heavenly Demon Elder's plan. This old fellow clearly wanted to find two easy targets to use as tonics.

If Li Changqing continues to maintain his current strength, he won't be able to stop him.

"It looks like it needs further improvement."

Li Changqing's aura underwent a slight change.

He, who was originally only at the Great Freedom Realm, seems to have suddenly become much stronger.

The pinnacle of ultimate freedom!

A legendary sword immortal in the martial arts world.

That is, the same level as Lu Chuan and Wang Ziyang.

Li Changqing felt that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms seemed to have undergone a different transformation in his hands.

"The dragon that soars too high will regret it!"

The golden dragon was slapped away by Li Changqing's palm.

The two skeletal hands faced the golden dragon as if they had encountered its natural enemy.

Despite their superior strength, they were still driven away by the golden dragon.

Lu Chuan and Wang Ziyang, who had almost been caught, smiled with relief, "Thank you, Chief Chen!"

Before the two could finish thanking him, Li Changqing caught up with them.

"The Hundred-Tailed Divine Dragon!"

"Double Dragons Sucking Water!!"

"The Azure Dragon Emerges from its Cave!!!"

"Dragons fight in the wilderness!!"

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!!!!"

When the name of the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon was proclaimed, the golden dragon came to life.

The two demonic handprints of the Heavenly Demon Elder were swallowed whole by the golden dragon.
