Emperor Yan was calculating his own little schemes deep down.
She had concealed her true combat strength. As one of the strongest experts, it was difficult for her at this moment to convincingly play the role of a "weakling," yet she did so flawlessly. In a battle of slaughter and conquest, she possessed only grand, supreme combat power, but she always revealed "flaws" in seemingly careless details, perfectly fitting the image of a generation's "lucky one."
All combat strength but insufficient cultivation... This was a performance. Through Great Sage Ci Tie's eyes and mouth, she was informing the Demon Emperor behind him!
For this reason, Emperor Yan had even forcibly suppressed her excitement and had not chosen to keep Ci Tie here forever.
Of course.
It might not have been easy to "keep him here" by force.
After all, as the vanguard making first contact with the Human Emperor, it was hard to say whether Great Sage Ci Tie had not prepared some trump card.
Especially when his vigilance was at its strongest and most cautious state!
Sure enough.
The next moment, Emperor Yan saw the "surprise" Ci Tie had brought her.
—Great Sage Ci Tie had dared to challenge a "boss" like the Human Emperor not because he was mindlessly reckless, but because he had come prepared!
While aiding Great Wind Bird Divine General, Ci Tie had already been in a perilous state when Emperor Yan caught his flaw and cleaved down with her sword. Just as victory seemed secured, Great Sage Ci Tie calmly took out an object, its cold radiance illuminating the heavens!
It was a sword!
—The Witch-Slaying Sword!
This Demon Marshal was actually carrying this supreme sword, bearing the sins and evil of the Human Dao. It was the most terrifying sword in the world!
