25 Showing them who’s the boss
——-
The earth rumbled and the sky tremble, as thousand of demons march the people lived in constant fear of invasion, not by the barbarians of the north but by the powerful demons of the south.
Their direction was the central plain and one of the walls that is in the way is the Tang Gamily of Sichuan.
But it seems that even a thousand of intimidating demons wasn't able to moved the poisonous ego of the Tang seeing that their head is just relaxly strolling around his poison garden as if ther was no battle ahead.
For a man who's about to face an enemy army he was suspiciously relax.
'Hup! What demon army? It's nothing in front of me. Thanks to the support of the Inverted Heavens I got my hand on some Divine Being Level Jiangshi.'
'Soon the name of Tang will once again be heard and we will reign supreme! I will be the beheader of the Demons and I shall be proclaim as a hero.'
A disgusting smile rose up from his lips as arrogant thoughts filled his heads.
A soldier wearing the symbol of Tang then approached him and gave him a bow before reporting.
"Pardon my intrusion."
"Family Head we have heard reports that the Demon Army is aproximately 5 miles away from us, and also the Qingcheng First apprentice and his three swords are here."
"I see."
"Prepare our troupes and escort the Qingcheng people here."
"I hear your orders." And with a last bow the man left the garden to fetch the guest.
Tang family head, Tang Ho look at the plant on the pot and lightly touched it, upon contact a black mist escaped from the pores of his hands and the plant instantly disintigrated.
***
In the guest accomodation of the Tang Family, Tang Ho can be seen sitting on the opposite side of someone who was wearing a taoist robe.
They were leisurely chatting like there was no war ahead of them, behind the taoist was three youth the three swords of Qingching.
The Earth Sword.
The Heaven Sword.
And the Human Sword.
"Huhuhu you are right indeed Poison Emperor."
"For such vile demons to even think of stepping a foot in the sacred land of Central Plain, they must indeed be subjugated."
They were exchanging pleasantries and speaking about chivalry whilst at the same time bad mouthing their enemies, a typical orthodox hypocrite.
But suddenly a booming voice fell down from the sky.
"ALL HAIL THE HEAVENLY DEMON!!"
A voice filled with terrifying Qi boomed and struck the entire manor of the Sichuan Tang.
Hearing the voice the Poison Emperor Tang Ho immidiately run towards the exit and headed towards the balcony, he looked at the battlefield ahead.
The sky was red and the surrounding was filled with heavy eeriness.
In the wide plains of grass were the war is supposed to happen, two figure walked alone with confident stride.
A middle aged man with a majestic aura wearing the black dragon robe and alongside him is a youth no older than twenty wearing a crimsong robe.
They walked with confidence and arrogance as if they own the world.
"T-the black dragon robe t-that means that guy is the Heavenly Demon!"
At first the Poison Emperor was confident that even though the Heavenly Demon was in the Divine Being Realm he was confident that he could at the very least contend against him, but seeing the powerful aura that the Heavenly Demon was exuding that confidence was quickly shattered.
"P-POISON CLOUD ARMY LAUNCH ALL OF YOUR POISONS!!"
Seeing the Poison Emperor move the First Apprentice followed.
"Deploy the Red Sunset and Blue Cloud Swordsman!"
At the order of these two dozens of men burst out from the gate of the manor and headed directly at the two figures.
The group of men was then divided into two groups one wearing the Tang Family insignia while the other was wearing the Qingcheng Taoist Symbol.
"I'll take care of the Poison Cloud army you take the Red Sunset and Blue Cloud Swordsman."
"I hear your order Heavenly Demon."
And with that the two split directions.
'First strike their mentality'
[Red Demon Intimidation]
A giant demon emerged from his back and gave a daunting roar, the roar shook the entire plain and the Swordsmans was the one who catch the most of it.
Their faces became pale and their body shook.
'Once their mantal state is unstable, STRIKE!'
[War Fist of the Desolated Land: Cavalry Mode]
[Ref Hare's Majestic March]
Ryu's body was then covered with crimson Qi, he dashed towards the incoming swordsman and collided against them.
The swordsman stood no chance as they weren't even able to perform their sword arts due to their unstable mental state.
And like an ant being crushed by a bulldozer the swordsman died.
After passing through the first hurdle, Ryu dusted his clothes and looke at the scene of the Heavenly Demon fighting.
It wasn't even a fight, The Heavenly Demon manifested his Mind Sword and just lightly swung his finger and with just that simple gesture all of them was split in half.
"D-damn it!!"
"This leaves me no choice!!"
The Poison Emperor who watch his man get slaughtered finally knew that he nor anyone within the Tang or the Qingcheng stood a chance, so he immidiately ran off towards the storage room and opened the coffin that was in there.
A pungent smell of heavy medicine penetrated his nose but that wasn't the one who made him flinch, it was the corpse inside it.
It was the Corpse of the Emperor of Ice and Light.
The corpse opened it's eye and looked at the direction where the battle was happening, knowing what to do and following it's instinct it dissapeared on the coffin and ran off towards the figure with the biggest Qi signature.
