Chapter 766 - 483: Sword Slash Against the Demon, Right to Wage War
Zhao Fu stood atop the tallest building in the Imperial Capital, the White Jade Tower.
Overlooking the entire Imperial Capital.
Zhao Fu’s eyes narrowed slightly.
"I smell a familiar scent."
Beside Zhao Fu stood masters from the Imperial City Temple, the elite force of the Tang Kingdom.
The Imperial City Temple is the extraordinary armed forces institution of the Tang Kingdom.
It houses numerous retired disciples from the Immortal Mountain and Mortal Martial Artists.
Including some Half-Demons, Half-Witches.
The Immortal Mountain isn’t large.
The elite disciples, which are the Foundation Establishment cultivators, number close to three hundred.
Most of the Mortal Kingdoms do not have elite disciples stationed because these kingdoms are established in areas deemed safe by the Immortal Mountain.
There isn’t a threat from Foundation Establishment level mythical creatures, and having elite disciples in Mortal Kingdoms would be too wasteful.
Most of the Immortal Mountain’s strength is used to confront the Sea Race and Demon Race.
The territory of the Human Race wasn’t claimed easily; it was fought for, step by step.
The truth always exists only on the edge of a sword.
In the mortal world, people’s understanding of the Immortal Mountain is quite fragmented.
Most of the cultivators in the mortal world are uninitiated registered disciples of the Immortal Mountain.
Apart from these, it is the legacy left by these registered disciples in the mortal world.
The scattered legacy has led to the existence of some Jianghu Sorcerers, who know a skill or two but lack sufficient True Essence.
However, these people know the legacy comes from the Immortal Mountain and often consider themselves descendants of its disciples.
So the legends of the Immortal Mountain are sung by them, yet very few have seen cultivators above the Fusion Realm.
Even the Xuanzhao Enlightenment is only about the same as the Innate Martial Artists.
Even in the Fusion Realm, in the Jianghu, it’s but a bit more mysterious.
But it still cannot escape the scope of Jianghu.
Only those above the Fusion in legends are true cultivators.
However, for the mortal world, that’s too distant.
Disciples below the Fusion Realm in the Immortal Mountain are too close, while elite disciples above the Heartbeat Realm are too far.
To the people of the mortal world, both feel overly disjointed.
The two elders of the Imperial City Temple looked at the young man standing before them.
More attention was paid to the jade tablet hanging from his waist.
"In these troubled times, being able to have such a place where the Human Race can live in peace is so difficult."
Zhao Fu’s calm voice sounded.
The two hurriedly responded.
Zhao Fu merely shook his head gently.
Having not experienced the despair in the territories of the Witch Race and Demon Race, nor seen the history of the Human Race opening up Star Sea recorded in Immortal Mountain’s classics.
These people born in the mortal world can hardly imagine what kind of situation it is for mortals within the Human Circle.
They have been well-protected.
Yet, this is what many human martyrs hoped for.
Because when everyone becomes aware of the crisis of the Demon Race, it means that the entire Human Race is in crisis.
"I will not let anyone disrupt this peace."
Zhao Fu murmured softly.
"Hmm, they’ve arrived."
A cold smile appeared on Zhao Fu’s face.
The strap on his back shattered, revealing an Immortal Sword that emanated a cold, eerie glow.
Given by his master White Eyebrow, the Cyan Blade.
The two behind him exchanged glances, with confused expressions in their eyes.
They were the strongest among the Honored Guest Elders of the Imperial City Temple.
Though not Half-Witch Half-Demon, their bodies contained the bloodlines of the Witch Race and Demon Race.
Therefore, relying on these bloodlines made their cultivation easier than ordinary Humans, and hence they were the strongest.
Yet their understanding of the Sword Dao remained at the level of Jianghu Swordsmen.
However, in the next second, Sword Qi soared into the sky.
Zhao Fu stepped on the sword and left, his robe billowing and whistling with the wind.
Spiritual Qi swept over Zhao Fu, and as it approached him, transformed into incredibly sharp Sword Qi in an instant.
The two elders of the Imperial City Temple only felt the sharpness rushing towards them.
And the figure stepping into the air.
"This direction..."
"Send the order, assist the master!"
Zhao Fu’s eyes were as calm as a still mirror.
"I will never forget..."
"The scent of Demon Qi."
The entire Imperial Capital seemed to echo with a clear sword ringing.
Jianghu Swordsmen looked around, surprised, at their longswords vibrating continuously beside them.
"Sword... Sword Intent!"
In this Jianghu where Mortal Martial Dao was mostly perfected, Sword Intent was also a legendary element.
Just for those in the Heartbeat Realm, after probing into their hearts, Sword Intent was a tangible thing to grasp.
"Boom——————"
A massive sound echoed at the South Gate, the largest gate of the Imperial Capital.
The huge city wall seemed to tremble slightly.
Debris scattered everywhere.
And at the city gate, people stood dazed, watching above the gate as debris flew around.
A humanoid beast was pinned tightly to the city wall by a flying sword.
"The Imperial City Temple orders, disperse immediately!"
In less than five breaths, the well-prepared Imperial City Temple cleared the entrance to the South City gate.
Even the Jianghu experts, Mountain Witches, and retired disciples from the Immortal Mountain recruited by the Temple were stunned, staring at the figure nailed to the city gate.
"Demon, demon monster!"
Usually, they dealt only with mythical creatures and evil cultivators.
Mythical creatures were fierce beasts, evil cultivators were fierce criminals.
Nothing extraordinary.
Yet the humanoid demon combining both gave those who had never seen Demon Cultivators a great shock.
The Demon Cultivator’s body was transparent, with a tail and skin with small scales.
It should be a Chameleon gaining its path.
It was at the Late-Stage Demon Pill, with an initial half-transformation.
The transformation of Late-Stage Demon Pill and Demon Body Realm is easy to distinguish.
