Despite Li Qing's scolding, Great Demon Xuan Sha didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at Li Qing with a playful expression.
His tolerance for his 'food' was quite high, and after being sealed for so long, teasing a few ants was also a fun pastime.
Hearing Great Demon Xuan Sha's words, Li Qing's body went limp, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. He wished he could slap himself a few times.
He wanted to show off, but he ended up making a fool of himself. Damn it, why did he have to be so talkative?
"Great Demon Xuan Sha, I advise you to leave. Breaking the seal wasn't easy, don't offend those you shouldn't offend!" Wang Feng ignored Li Qing, narrowed his eyes, looked at Great Demon Xuan Sha, and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? You know me?"
Wang Feng's words immediately drew Great Demon Xuan Sha's attention. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he playfully asked. He hadn't expected that after being sealed for a millennium, someone would still recognize him.
"The Great Demon Xuan Sha who wreaked havoc in the Shining Sun Empire a thousand years ago! How could this Sect Master not know?" Wang Feng smiled faintly, his transcendent demeanor causing Great Demon Xuan Sha to take notice.
As soon as Wang Feng's words fell, Ling Feiwu, who was pulling Li Qing, trembled. A look of horror appeared in her eyes.
While she might not have a deep understanding of Great Demon Xuan Sha's reputation, she knew of him, or rather, everyone in the Shining Sun Empire who cultivated knew of Great Demon Xuan Sha's fearsome name.
A thousand years ago, Great Demon Xuan Sha ravaged the entire Shining Sun Empire, plunging it into darkness. If the Shining Sun Emperor hadn't personally intervened to seal him, the Shining Sun Empire might not even exist today.
Ling Feiwu hadn't expected that this great demon would break the Shining Sun Emperor's seal and appear within their Immortal Sect. She glanced at Ye Gucheng, a flicker of worry in her heart, wondering if her master could withstand this terrifying great demon.
Ling Feiwu knew very well that Great Demon Xuan Sha was a Peak-stage Profound Sovereign Realm existence, a whole major realm higher than her master. Even if his strength had declined after being sealed, he was still not comparable to an ordinary Nobility Realm cultivator.
"Since you know me, aren't you afraid?"
Great Demon Xuan Sha's face revealed a sinister smile, and the demonic pattern stretching across his entire face trembled slightly, giving off an extremely terrifying feeling.
"What is this Sect Master afraid of! If you dare to act, I'll let you experience the feeling of being crushed again!" Wang Feng grinned, speaking fearlessly. Although his expression was calm, the arrogant aura emanating from him was fully revealed.
"Hahaha, ridiculous, truly ridiculous! An ant doesn't know the vastness of the sky, yet presumes to reach for it. I shall let you witness what power on par with the heavens truly is!"
Hearing Wang Feng's words, Great Demon Xuan Sha threw his head back and laughed. His terrifying and sinister laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth.
Then, he suddenly looked at Wang Feng, a sharp glint in his eyes. A terrifying aura abruptly burst forth from his burly body, as if a peerless beast had awakened.
Boom!
The terrifying might that erupted from Great Demon Xuan Sha instantly swept across the entire world. The dreadful storm crushed the surrounding trees into dust, causing the whole area to be filled with smoke and dust.
A massive pressure also descended upon Wang Feng and the others.
Buzz!
Just as that terrifying aura was about to land on Wang Feng, Ye Gucheng's figure instantly appeared in front of him. Following that, a terrifying sword momentum, as if it could tear through heaven and earth, burst forth, abruptly cleaving Great Demon Xuan Sha's terrifying aura in half.
The sharp and incisive sword intent made Great Demon Xuan Sha's pupils constrict.
"Peak-stage Nobility Realm!"
Even Great Demon Xuan Sha was shocked. He hadn't expected that in this remote valley, there would be a hidden Peak-stage Nobility Realm expert. He had originally thought these were just ants he could crush at will, but he hadn't expected a lion to emerge.
Moreover, Great Demon Xuan Sha could clearly sense that Ye Gucheng was likely no ordinary Peak-stage Nobility Realm expert. The terrifying sword intent, sharp and fully revealed, even made him feel a little apprehensive.
"Just this alone won't stop me. However, the strength of your small sect in this remote place truly surprises me!" Great Demon Xuan Sha suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at Wang Feng, and said playfully.
After all, he was a Peak-stage Profound Sovereign Realm powerhouse. Even if his cultivation was not at its peak and he only possessed the strength of a Peak-stage Nobility Realm, why would he fear Ye Gucheng?
Boom!
After Great Demon Xuan Sha's words fell, a thick black mist suddenly erupted from his body. This black mist instantly formed a giant claw, which then reached out towards Ye Gucheng.
The terrifying claw blotted out the sky, causing the entire valley to darken. The immense pressure even twisted the entire void visibly!
Although he sensed Ye Gucheng's considerable strength, Great Demon Xuan Sha still made a probing move. Only by truly knowing Ye Gucheng's strength could he decide his attitude towards this small sect in the remote area.
At this moment, he had just broken the seal. If he caused too much commotion and was detected by his arch-nemesis, his situation would not be good.
Buzz!
Facing Great Demon Xuan Sha's terrifying claw, Ye Gucheng narrowed his eyes, and a soaring sword momentum suddenly rose from his entire body.
This sword momentum was ethereal like an immortal, yet carried an extreme sharpness.
He lightly drew his weapon, the Flying Rainbow, and a flash of sword light instantly streaked across, like a rainbow piercing the sky, cutting towards the giant claw.
The sharpness emanating from it directly tore through the void, revealing long, narrow spatial cracks.
Bang!
Under the tense gazes of Ling Feiwu and Li Qing, the two terrifying attacks instantly collided. A powerful wave of energy swept out in all directions, pulverizing everything in the valley. Even the mountain itself cracked!
The only thing that remained intact was the thatched hut that Wang Feng had personally built.
This thatched hut seemed ordinary, but ever since Wang Feng set the entrance to the Small World Sect Headquarters's base within it, the hut had been protected.
Not to mention the battle between two Peak-stage Nobility Realm experts, even stronger existences would be unable to shake it in the slightest.
However, Great Demon Xuan Sha didn't notice these small details. His scarlet eyes were fixed on that sword light, his heart trembling.
In that instant, the sword light had already shattered his attack and was rapidly approaching him. Although the sword light's power had gradually dissipated after breaking his attack, even disappearing without a trace by the time it reached him, it still astonished Great Demon Xuan Sha.
That strike just now, while not his full strength, was at least eighty percent of it. Such power, against an ordinary Peak-stage Nobility Realm expert, or even a slightly stronger one, would have been unstoppable.
But Ye Gucheng was able to easily break his attack, which showed that Ye Gucheng's strength was probably already invincible below the Profound Sovereign Realm.
"I hadn't expected that this small valley would hide such a formidable figure as yourself!" After his attack failed, Great Demon Xuan Sha retracted his hand, his scarlet eyes fixed on Ye Gucheng as he said in a deep voice.
He could certainly unleash more powerful techniques, and even had the confidence to kill Ye Gucheng, but he dared not go all out. Once he used his full strength, that old geezer would surely sense that he had broken the seal, and then he would have no choice but to flee.
To put himself in such great danger for a few morsels of food was not worth it!
Ye Gucheng remained silent, still standing with his sword, utterly aloof, like a divine sword soaring above the world, cold and proud, yet exuding sharp brilliance!
Instead, Wang Feng, standing beside Ye Gucheng, had a glint in his eyes. He whispered to Ye Gucheng, "Do you have the confidence to hold this demon for a while?"
From Great Demon Xuan Sha's words, Wang Feng had already sensed that the demon intended to retreat. However, Wang Feng didn't want Great Demon Xuan Sha to just leave.
Since they had already clashed and offended each other, the only option was to keep him here.
He wasn't worried about the Immortal Sect or himself. What he was worried about was that the Immortal Sect's disciples might be retaliated against by this great demon when they went out for training. It was better to nip the problem in the bud!
As long as they could hold him until Ximen Chuixue appeared, with Ximen Chuixue's cultivation and formidable combat power, suppressing this demon would be a piece of cake.
Buzz!
Hearing Wang Feng's words, Ye Gucheng didn't answer, but the sword momentum emanating from him became even sharper and more terrifying. He seemed to have transformed into a divine sword, his sharpness unmatched in the world.
Boom!
Just as Ye Gucheng was about to make a move to hold back Great Demon Xuan Sha, an imposing sword momentum suddenly appeared from the void.
This sword momentum struck down swiftly, directly piercing through Great Demon Xuan Sha's body under his terrified gaze.
And just as that sword momentum pierced through Great Demon Xuan Sha, a figure dressed in white robes, carrying an ancient-looking long sword in a black scabbard, suddenly appeared in the void. The moment this person appeared, the entire world was filled with a sense of desolation.
He held two fingers together like a sword, and a drop of blood floated at his fingertip. He flicked it gently, and the blood drop instantly seeped into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
After this action, his pale, paper-like face was revealed, and his eyes held an endless loneliness.
When this person appeared, a fierce fighting spirit suddenly rose from Ye Gucheng. His sword trembled continuously, and his eyes were fixed on that figure.
At this moment, in Ye Gucheng's eyes, there was no one else in this world, only that one figure.
"When you break through to the Profound Sovereign Realm, we will fight again!"
That figure sensed Ye Gucheng's sword intent, and a flicker of light appeared in his otherwise lonely eyes. He said softly.
As his words fell, Ye Gucheng's surging sword momentum immediately receded. He took a deep look at that figure, then fell silent.
"Greetings, Sect Master. Ximen is late!"
Then, that figure moved lightly and appeared before Wang Feng, nodding to him.
