Chapter 781: Chapter 322: This Marquis Is Leaving, No Need to See Me Off! “Senior Brother, be careful.” Hua Xianzi’s eyes gazed intently at him, and her heart, instead of feeling uneasy for being within the Ten Thousand Mountains, felt an unparalleled peace. Since she followed Chen Yi to return from the Southern Barbarian Secret Realm, it had been a very long time since she had been alone with him. Suddenly, Hua Xianzi saw a dazzling silver-white light appear between Chen Yi’s brows, and two figures appeared in front of her… two Senior Brother Chen Yi? Hua Xianzi widened her eyes and looked back and forth, from body shape to appearance, attire, and weapons, everything was identical, and for a moment, she couldn’t tell which was real and which was fake. “Senior, Senior Brother, this is…” “A Divine Intent magic of the First Realm of Divine Powers.” The Chen Yi on the left turned and explained briefly, then exchanged a glance with the Divine Intent Avatar on the right, “You go east, I’ll go west, and we’ll return here in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.” “You’re the original, whatever you say goes.” The Chen Yi on the right shrugged, and as soon as he finished speaking, his figure dissipated, transforming into a silver-white stream of light that sped towards the east. The Chen Yi on the left sensed for a moment and then gestured to Hua Xianzi before speeding off to the west. Since his Slaughter Sword Dao had advanced to the Fifth Realm of Divine Power, he had only experimented a few times with the power of the Divine Intent Avatar, roughly understanding its capability limits. Apart from having the same body shape, appearance, and Sword Dao Divine Intent, the Divine Intent Avatar could only perform Slaughter Sword Dao, with the realm corresponding to Chen Yi’s Sword Dao Divine Power Realm, both being at the Fifth Realm. Besides this, his body was comprised of Slaughter Sword Dao Divine Intent, lacking a solid presence, only able to simulate the sensation of a physical body. Furthermore, the Divine Intent Avatar had certain limitations—the duration of each use was only fifteen days, and with each additional day, the Divine Will within him would weaken slightly. Moreover, the distance between the Divine Intent Avatar and the original could not be too far. Even with Chen Yi’s current sensing range, the Avatar could not be more than thirty thousand miles away; otherwise, the Avatar would act on instinct rather than under his control. This time, Chen Yi ventured into the Ten Thousand Mountains and began looting the various mountain strongholds and Cave Mansions of the Demon Kings and Demon Generals at the perimeter, along with the Avatar. “The Huangshan Taoist might not be much, but the treasures he carried were indeed numerous.” At this moment, Chen Yi held the Thousand Mechanism Tower in his hand, a treasure he had borrowed from the Huangshan Taoist, specifically used to trap demons within. Thinking this, Chen Yi soon arrived at a demon’s Cave Mansion, observing the Leopard Demon King resting inside, and flicked his finger lightly. A formidable and awe-inspiring silver-white Sword Qi shot forth instantly— “Who dares attack me?!” The Demon King awoke in shock, touched the bleeding cut on his ear, and glared angrily around. Upon seeing Chen Yi standing calmly at the Cave Mansion entrance, watching it, its expression changed suddenly. “Human Chen Yi, do you dare come to the Demon Court?!” “Aren’t you afraid of being hunted by the Demon Emperor?” “Demon Emperor?” Chen Yi sneered while activating the Thousand Mechanism Tower, asking coldly: “I was just about to ask you, has anything changed in the Demon Court recently?” Not one to be easily fooled, the Demon King suppressed its apprehension, trembled slightly, and snorted coldly, “Don’t think you’ll get any news out of me!” Before his words even finished, the Thousand Mechanism Tower in Chen Yi’s hand enlarged instantly, piercing a hole through the Cave Mansion, letting the wind and snow blow in. “If I promise you, that I will spare your life if you speak truthfully, would you still refuse?” The Leopard Demon King’s expression changed drastically, as he grinned and raised a paw in salute, “Human Sword Immortal, I… I do know some news, I’ll tell you right now.” This Demon King’s intelligence was akin to a human’s; faced with the threat of death, it had no choice but to comply. “Yesterday, news came from the Demon Imperial Palace that the Fengyue Demon Emperor seems intended to head to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield.” “Oh? The Fengyue Demon Emperor?” Chen Yi paused, asking, “And what else?” “That’s all,” the Leopard Demon shook its head, “that’s all they said, though, several Great Demon Kings seemed to disagree.” Chen Yi pondered for a moment, recalling the image of the Half-demon Xiao Lan. It had been a while since he ventured into the “Xunwang Order” to ascertain the status of others during the recent Wei Dynasty gatherings; it seemed he’d have to seek out the Half-demon Princess soon. The Leopard Demon noticed his silence and asked with a sycophantic smile, “Umm, Sword Immortal, could you spare little me?” Chen Yi snapped back, flicking a strand of Sword Intent onto the Thousand Mechanism Tower, instantly enveloping the Leopard Demon and capturing it within. “I only promised to spare your life, never to let you go.” Before his words had ended, Chen Yi used the Near and Far Divine Power to arrive at another mountain stronghold. This time, he gave no chance for any conversation. Using the Spring Rain Sword, he struck down the enemy quickly with the sword hilt, knocking them unconscious. In just an incense stick of time, Chen Yi used the Thousand Mechanism Tower to capture twenty Demon Generals and six Demon Kings, in the blink of an eye returning to Hua Xianzi’s side. “Senior Brother, you’re back.” Hua Xianzi, staring dumbly at the snowy mountains all around, noticed his presence and rushed to greet him. But after taking two steps, she hesitated, watching Chen Yi and cautiously asked, “Are you… the original or the Avatar?” Chen Yi smiled and blinked, “Can you guess?” “Senior Brother, you’re teasing me on purpose…” Hua Xianzi realized this immediately, her face blushing as she leaned close to his side, “Senior Brother, did everything go smoothly?” “It’s… mostly…” Chen Yi suddenly looked eastward, a smile appearing on his face, “Seems like a little trouble arose.” In his perception, a commotion had occurred where the Avatar was; two Great Demon Kings were pursuing it from a distance. The Avatar, causing quite a ruckus, was quickly speeding back with the captured demons in tow. Chen Yi observed for a moment, then in a step, appeared beside the Avatar and released the Thousand Mechanism Tower, seizing the demons from his hands. He said with a smile, “But I didn’t say I’d let you go.” With those words, he returned to Hua Xianzi, took her hand, and headed back to Beixiong Pass. Breathing an oath of frustration, the Divine Intent Avatar watched as two menacing Great Demon Kings approached, muttering words under his breath. He then saw the two charging Great Demon Kings stop in their tracks when they spotted him and the nearby Fengyue Demon Emperor, who had just arrived out of nowhere, her hands glittering like jade as she nullified their attack with a wave. “Little snake?! Damn human Chen Yi, I swear I’ll fight you to the death!” The Divine Intent Avatar heard those words and chuckled, “So you know a thing or two, but not enough!” With his mocking, a stream of silver-white Sword Light swiftly slashed toward the two Great Demon Kings. Although their cultivation was also at the Third Realm of Divine Power, they had to dodge awkwardly against the Sword Light that was relentlessly targeting them. “Sword Eleven Fireflies!” Just as one of the Great Demon Kings breathed a sigh of relief for dodging, the Silver White Sword Light suddenly flared and shot through, piercing the skull and passing through without resistance. “Old Snake!? Damn it, human Chen Yi, I’ll fight you to the death!” In that moment of stunned silence, the Fengyue Demon Emperor, in a sweeping descent, arrived beside them in a flash. She was adorned in a fiery red dress, her jade-like hands dissipating the attack with a clap. “Oh? Fengyue Demon Emperor?” Chen Yi’s Divine Intent Avatar paused for a moment, then with a hint of amusement in his eyes, asked, “I heard you plan to go to the Taizhou Mountain Battlefield?”
