Sun-Turning Demon Emperor (Part 2)

Chapter 18: Sun-Turning Demon Emperor (Part 2)

Yu He, of course, had no idea what the Snake-Beating Cudgel was. Throughout the eons, very few people had ever seen this item. If Li Qiye hadn't lived for tens of millions of years, explored countless dangerous places, and known innumerable earth-shattering secrets, he wouldn't have known the secret of the Snake-Beating Cudgel.

Those who didn't know the secret of the Snake-Beating Cudgel would only mistake it for an ordinary wooden stick.

"I'll kill you—" Despite being beaten until his skin was torn and flesh was exposed, Xu Hui was still ferocious. Unable to get up, he roared, and two incredibly sharp claws suddenly emerged from beneath his ribs, fiercely clawing towards Li Qiye's chest! These claws could easily tear through Li Qiye's chest!

Xu Hui possessed the Golden Sculpture Physique. Because his father was a Golden Sculpture who cultivated the Dao, he harbored a pair of incredibly sharp Golden Sculpture Claws within him, capable of delivering a fatal blow at any moment.

"Bang—" The Snake-Beating Cudgel easily struck the Golden Sculpture Claws. Being struck by the Snake-Beating Cudgel was like a snake being hit at its vital point; the incredibly sharp Golden Sculpture Claws instantly went limp and painful!

"Seeking your own death!" Li Qiye's gaze turned cold. With a "clang," two short blades instantly pierced Xu Hui's shoulders, pinning him to the ground and rendering him unable to move.

"You dare try to kill me? Today, I'll beat you soundly!" Li Qiye said coldly, holding the Snake-Beating Cudgel.

"Enough!" Just then, Protector Xu could no longer bear to watch. He descended into the dueling arena and shouted sternly.

Li Qiye merely glanced at him and said calmly, "What? The juniors can't win, so the elders come out personally."

"Junior, don't be arrogant!" Protector Xu's gaze could kill, and he said chillingly, "Release him, or today, I will personally slay you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye slowly turned his gaze to Protector Xu, speaking very calmly and deliberately, "If, just now, I could have spared his life, but now you threaten me, then I will kill him!" As soon as the words fell, he instantly gripped his short blades.

"Ah—" Xu Hui let out a miserable scream. The short blades pinning his shoulders instantly crossed, cutting his body in half. In the flash of an eye, he was dismembered into five pieces, his blood staining the ground red!

"Hui'er—" Protector Xu roared. He never dreamed that Li Qiye would kill so readily and without any hesitation. Even with him present, he had still killed his disciple.

"Little beast, die!" Protector Xu roared, his blood energy surging towards the heavens. Amidst this killing intent, a divine sword ten thousand feet long descended, striking directly at Li Qiye's head!

At this moment, Protector Mo was so terrified that his soul had scattered. With his strength, it was too late to save Li Qiye.

"Boom—" Just as this sword tore through the heavens, a colossal foot stomped down. Beneath this colossal foot, no one could resist. It didn't matter if you were a hero, a lord, or even a True Human or Sage Emperor; under this foot, you were merely like an ant.

"No—" Protector Xu screamed. He was crushed to death on the spot, his body ground into a pulp by the colossal foot.

At this moment, everyone was stunned. It wasn't Li Qiye who stomped down, but one of the four colossal stone statues standing in the dueling arena. With one foot of this stone statue stomping down, someone with the strength of a hero or lord like Protector Xu was instantly crushed to death.

"Impossible—" The sudden change shocked Chief Protector Yu He. His blood energy swept across the nine heavens as he slashed towards the stone statue, attempting to save Protector Xu.

However, at this moment, the stone statue that had just crushed Protector Xu lifted its foot and kicked out. With a "bang," even someone as powerful as Yu He, a lord, was kicked away. He crashed into the main peak, spitting up blood uncontrollably.

"Don't be arrogant!" A thunderous roar echoed, and instantly, laws like a heavenly waterfall swept across heaven and earth. Divine light permeated the entire sky, and a person instantly appeared in the firmament, with endless divine light behind his head! His every movement could boil seas and overturn rivers.

"Grand Elder—" When this person suddenly made a move, everyone in the Nine Sacred Demon Gate was horrified. The Grand Elder formed a seal, suppressing the eight directions, and descended towards the stone statue with supreme divine bearing!

"Bang—" However, this stone statue raised its hand and fiercely chopped down. Under this palm strike, the divine seal was shattered. The terrifyingly powerful Grand Elder of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate bled across the sky, being blasted away on the spot. Even the Grand Elder couldn't withstand the stone statue's palm strike!

This scene shocked everyone. Even the Grand Elder was blasted away! In that instant, all the disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were stunned, whether they were protectors or elders!

The stone statues in the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's dueling arena had suddenly attacked, crushing Protector Xu with one foot, kicking Yu He away with another, and blasting the Grand Elder away with a palm strike. This was too terrifying.

After blasting the Grand Elder away with a palm strike, the stone statue returned to its original position as if nothing had happened.

"I said, if your Nine Sacred Demon Gate doesn't play by the rules, I don't mind tearing down your Nine Sacred Demon Gate and starting over," Li Qiye said calmly, standing in the dueling arena, as if nothing had happened!

Protector Mo and Nan Huairen were both terrified. They had never dreamed of such a thing. A stone statue suddenly becoming so terrifying, and even more terrifyingly, the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's stone statue blasting away their own Grand Elder! This completely broke their common sense!

"Boom—" The Grand Elder, injured, his blood energy surging to the heavens, instantly reappeared in the firmament. He took a step, traversing the heavens, intending to fight the stone statue again. In fact, as the Grand Elder, he was also quite shaken. One of their Nine Sacred Demon Gate's stone statues had actually attacked them!

"Elder, don't be rash. This is our Nine Sacred Demon Gate's guardian deity!" At this moment, a majestic voice echoed from the deepest part of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate.

"Sect Master—" Hearing this voice, everyone in the Nine Sacred Demon Gate knew who it was: the Sect Master of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate—the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor, a peerless genius!

The Grand Elder forcefully halted his steps, staring at the stone statue with disbelief and uncertainty.

In fact, upon hearing the Sect Master's words, all the disciples of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were filled with doubt. Even the high-ranking elders found it hard to believe. This was because they had never heard of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate having a guardian deity. Even more terrifyingly, their guardian deity had attacked them.

"Elder, Protector Yu, please invite Young Master Li to the Heavenly Hall for a discussion. What does Young Master Li think?" The Sun-Turning Demon Emperor's majestic and imperial voice echoed again.

Hearing the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor's words, Li Qiye remained leisurely and at ease. He curled his lips and smiled, saying, "Since there's someone who recognizes quality, what's wrong with having a chat."

With great effort, Chief Protector Yu He stepped forward to invite Li Qiye. At this moment, he couldn't help but shudder when looking at Li Qiye. He felt that the thirteen-year-old youth before him was too uncanny!

The Heavenly Hall was a vital location within the Nine Sacred Demon Gate. Major decisions within the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were made in the Heavenly Hall, and only elders were qualified to attend.

Protector Mo and Nan Huairen were not qualified to enter the Heavenly Hall. Furthermore, the Heavenly Hall floated in the sky above the deepest part of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate's territory. Li Qiye, of course, couldn't fly, but today, a powerful lord like Yu He personally stooped down to carry Li Qiye.

Inside the Heavenly Hall, all the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were present, including the Grand Elder. Every elder present exuded divine light, their lifespans fluctuating. The laws circulating around them seemed to evolve into worlds. These were not mere lords; they were True Humans!

A single lord could likely destroy the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. As for a True Human, they were incredibly terrifying! The Nine Sacred Demon Gate's foundation was frighteningly deep, no wonder they could control the Ancient Niu Jiang Kingdom in this era. With such strength, the Washing Yan Ancient Sect could not possibly contend with them. A single True Human from the Nine Sacred Demon Gate could easily suppress the Washing Yan Ancient Sect.

Even with numerous True Humans present, Li Qiye remained calm and composed, sitting leisurely in the Heavenly Hall.

"Through the endless ages, no one has ever been able to communicate with our Nine Sacred Demon Gate's guardian deity!" The Sun-Turning Demon Emperor's voice echoed again, but his person was not seen.

Li Qiye shook his head and said, "I do not speak with those who hide their heads and tuck their tails!"

Such words made the faces of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate elders present sink. If Protector Mo were here, he would surely be scared out of his wits. The Sun-Turning Demon Emperor was an existence of such terrifying power. Even all the elders of their Washing Yan Ancient Sect would have to be trembling before the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor. Yet, Li Qiye completely disregarded him.

"It is not that I am unwilling to meet Young Master Li, but I am currently within a pass and it is inconvenient to meet," the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor, who commanded the entire Ancient Niu Jiang Kingdom from his high position, explained without getting angry.

"Very well, then I will not make things difficult for you. At least I am reasonable," Li Qiye smiled and nodded.

Li Qiye's arrogant attitude made all the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate present seethe with anger. Their Demon Emperor was a supreme being. Many lords and even True Humans of the Ancient Niu Jiang Kingdom dared not be presumptuous before their Demon Emperor. Yet, a thirteen-year-old youth dared to be so arrogant before their Demon Emperor.

"I would like to hear how Young Master Li communicates with our Nine Sacred Demon Gate's guardian deity," the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor said.

At this moment, all the elders of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate were filled with doubt and uncertainty, as they had never heard of a guardian deity before. As elders, they had never known that their Nine Sacred Demon Gate had a guardian deity.

The Sun-Turning Demon Emperor then explained, "Our Nine Sacred Demon Gate has four guardian deities, which are the four stone statues in the dueling arena. They were personally invited by the Ancestral Master to protect our Nine Sacred Demon Gate. Moreover, beneath the dueling arena lies the terrestrial vein of our Nine Sacred Demon Gate's Heaven and Earth Essence, personally guarded by the guardian deities! However, since the establishment of the Nine Sacred Demon Gate, the four guardian deities have never displayed their divine powers, except for today!" As he spoke, even the Sun-Turning Demon Emperor's voice became solemn.

At this moment, all the elders looked at Li Qiye. They couldn't believe that the guardian deities, who had never displayed their divine powers throughout the ages, had acted for Li Qiye. This was simply unbelievable!
