<h4>Chapter 1904 (Raw 2005): Killing Mu Yun</h4>


    Xiao Chen waited for the right opportunity andunched a lightning-quick strike when it was least expected, producing immediate effects.


    With one look, it was clear that this Demonic Dao cultivator was good at controlling all sorts of demonic beings. He had strong Soul Energy, but his physical defense was rtively weak.


    Furthermore, with Xiao Chen’s Firmament’s Rage, even if one had defensive Dao Tools or Secret Techniques, one would not be able to escape death if the attacknded squarely.


    “Boom!”


    Demonic Venerate Mu Yun showed an expression of despair as Xiao Chen’s palm strikended. The saber intent spread throughout the colossal palm instantly pierced thousands of holes in his body.


    Lightning-attributed energy sted out. When the palm pressed down, it smashed Demonic Venerate Mu Yun’s body into nothing.


    Without a head, Xiao Chen could only gather the surrounding lingering soul as proof ofpletion.


    However, when hended and spread his Soul Energy, he frowned slightly.


    “Nothing!”


    There was no trace of a lingering soul at all. It did not seem like someone died. With Xiao Chen’s current cultivation, it was impossible that he could not find any lingering soul when he sent out his Soul Energy.


    There was only one possibility: Demonic Venerate Mu Yun was still alive. All Xiao Chen killed was a clone.


    Suddenly, the ghost pennant on the ground soared up. The many miniature demonic dragons and the Blood Prison Demonic Dragon quickly entered it.


    Then, the ghost pennant turned into a beam of light, flying away at a lightning-fast speed.


    “Boom!” A sand dune in the distance exploded. Demonic Venerate Mu Yun jumped out andnded on the ghost pennant and fled far away.


    “Whoosh! Whoosh!”


    Yun Tianhe and Qiu Xiuyingnded on the ground, fear lingering in their hearts as they looked at Xiao Chen.


    Earlier, when they were trapped, they nearly died. Fortunately, Situ Changfeng provided some guidance. Otherwise, they might not even have kept their lives, not to mention escaping.


    This Demonic Venerate was so terrifying. Even when the six of them worked together, they could not defeat the other party. Yet, the moment Xiao Chen appeared, he actually scared off Demonic Venerate Mu Yun.


    How could the two not be shocked?


    “Brother Xiao Chen, many thanks for saving us.” Situ Changfeng expressed his gratitude when he walked over, feeling fatigued.


    Xiao Chen did not feel that he deserved this thanks. He shook his head and said, “I don’t deserve it. I did it for myself. Brother Situ, there is no need to be so polite. I still have to chase this Demonic Venerate Mu Yun, so I’ll say goodbye here.”


    Right after saying that, Xiao Chen set off in pursuit of Demonic Venerate Mu Yun. He did not wait for Situ Changfeng to reply, not wanting to waste any time.


    “This fellow is really detestable! He waited for Demonic Venerate Mu Yun and us to fight each other, waited for us to nearly die before making a move. Now that Demonic Venerate Mu Yun is injured, he shows ingratitude and just left.”


    Yun Tianhe watched as Xiao Chen left, extremely upset about getting trapped earlier.


    Yun Tianhe also wanted to give chase. However, he had not recovered yet. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak.


    Right now, he was extremely weak. He could not force himself to move at all.


    However, his words were also rather interesting. He seemed to have forgotten that he had also watched Murong Yan’s group fight Demonic Venerate Mu Yun for a long time before he chose tond a decisive blow.


    Situ Changfeng frowned slightly and said, “This is just a minor matter. Although Demonic Venerate Mu Yun is injured, it is still very risky to give chase alone.”


    “Unfortunately, we ended up letting him run. Had we held him back earlier, it would have been the best chance to kill him.” Qiu Xiuying looked into the distance, feeling somewhat dismayed.


    Situ Changfeng smiled and said, “There is no need to feel that it is unfortunate. This Demonic Venerate Mu Yun is not as strong as we think. It is just that we did not understand him well enough. The next time we meet him, we just need to recruit a cultivator skilled at archery and a cultivator good at controlling beasts. That way, we can easily defeat him. Alternatively, a Dragon Race cultivator good with mental attacks could defeat him alone.”


    “Where’s Demonic Venerate Mu Yun?”


    Just at this moment, Murong Yan’s group, which got sent out of the battlefield, rushed over in a huff.


    Yun Tianhe and Qiu Xiuying nced at Murong Yan. However, they were in no mood to care about him, so they sat down cross-legged, closed their eyes, and circted their energies.


    Situ Changfeng went over and gave a rough exnation of what happened.


    “The mixed-blood dragon again!”


    Murong Yan felt upset in his heart. He asked seriously, “Which way did he go?”


    Situ Changfeng felt helpless and thought for a while. Then, he pointed in the opposite direction.


    “After him!”


    Murong Yan did not hesitate to lead his two junior brothers away, charging off and kicking up a cloud of sand and dust.


    Yun Tianhe slowly opened his eyes and saw the distant Murong Yan. Then, he closed his eyes once again and spat out indifferently, “Fools!”


    —


    Just at this moment, Xiao Chen, who was pursuing Demonic Venerate Mu Yun, was standing on a sand dune.


    He looked into the distance with Demonic Venerate Mu Yun’s figure nowhere in sight. There was not even a lingering aura.


    “No wonder he dares to charge into the Divine Dragon Empire alone. He really has many backup ns,” Xiao Chen said indifferently, feeling some admiration in his heart.


    Demonic Venerate Mu Yun schemed deeply enough, had sufficient means, and was cautious in the way he did things. When fleeing, he did not forget to erase the traces of his aura. Such a person was indeed somewhat hard to deal with.


    However, the more this was so, the more Xiao Chen wanted to hunt down Demonic Venerate Mu Yun.


    The various signs showed that this Demonic Venerate Mu Yun was truly injured. His main body had suffered due to the deep connection with the clone.


    Otherwise, he absolutely would not have fled.


    If Demonic Venerate Mu Yun were just pretending to flee in order toy a trap, he would have left some clues behind to tempt the person chasing him.


    If Xiao Chen did not take this opportunity to finish him off, Demonic Venerate Mu Yun would be even harder to deal with the next time.


    Xiao Chen took out the Death God Mask and wore it. Then, he closed his eyes. With a thought, he circted the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.


    “Whoosh!”


    Demonic clouds immediately gathered and covered the sky, spreading out toward the front. They surged, covering five hundred kilometers in one breath. This was even faster than Xiao Chen’s Movement Technique.


    The demonic clouds in the sky were like Xiao Chen’s eyes. He could clearly see everything under them.


    In fact, the view was even clearer than what he saw with his eyes. He could distinguish every single grain of sand.


    More importantly, these demonic clouds were extremely sensitive to the aura of Demonic Dao cultivators.


    Once Xiao Chen discovered his target, he could immediately lock on to him.


    The wider the area the demonic clouds covered, the thinner the clouds became. This was to reduce the drain on Veritable Essence Energy.


    Although Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy was not like the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s, remaining very thick despite the demonic clouds covering an entire great realm, he still had no problem covering several million kilometers. Furthermore, he could consume Primeval Heavenly Pills to replenish his energy.


    Demonic Venerate Mu Yun already fled far away. When he checked his surroundings, he did not find anyone chasing him within five thousand kilometers.


    As he had erased the traces of his aura along the way, Holy Venerates would not be able to find any clues leading to him.


    Only a Sovereign Personage would be able to track him. However, ording to the information he obtained, the Dragon’s Gate had not raised the rank of the mission to Absolute Rank yet.


    Given that, no Sovereign Personages would being after him. That was enough to free him of worries.


    “Damn it! To think that a mixed-blood dragon spoiled my ns!”


    Demonic Venerate Mu Yun jumped off the ghost pennant and cursed as he held it in his hand. As he spoke, he coughed a few times involuntarily. The destruction of the clone had inflicted great damage on his main body.


    Most importantly, it also damaged his Soul Energy, which meant Demonic Venerate Mu Yun could not control the thousands upon thousands of small demonic dragons and the Blood Prison Demonic Dragon with the horrific might and pressure.


    If this continued and these demonic creatures saw that Demonic Venerate Mu Yun was weakened, they would definitely consume their master and put an end to him.


    “However, it does not matter. When my Blood Prison Demonic Dragon improves further, I will be able to materialize a boundless scene of hell. At that time, if a Sovereign Personagees, I won’t be afraid. When I return to the Blood Prison Demonic Pce, my position will rise!” Demonic Venerate Mu Yun said seriously, fervor shing in his eyes.


    “Something’s wrong. Why do I feel like someone is watching me?”


    Suddenly, Demonic Venerate Mu Yun raised his head and was shocked to discover that demonic clouds had gathered above him at some point in time.


    “Someone of the Demonic Dao?”


    Demonic Venerate Mu Yun gripped the ghost pennant in his hands. His expression appeared uncertain as he carefully made preparations.


    “Whoosh!”


    The distant Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. A pair of demonic eyes appeared in the demonic clouds massing in the sky over Demonic Venerate Mu Yun’s head.


    “Might I ask which esteemed expert this is? Since we are of the same faction, why not reveal yourself and meet me?” Demonic Venerate Mu Yun asked nervously, praying that the person that came would not have too high a cultivation.


    No one replied to him. The pair of eyes in the demonic clouds disappeared after ncing at him.


    “Whoosh!”


    Xiao Chen turned into a sh of lightning and entered the demonic clouds. He immediately sped up by more than a hundred times.


    He rushed over in less than a breath of time.


    “Boom!”


    A lightning bolt streaked down from the clouds and struck the sand dune. Then, Xiao Chen appeared on the sand dune and looked coldly at Demonic Venerate Mu Yun.


    Demonic clouds gathered from all directions, churning as they moved. The demonic clouds turned from thin to thick.


    The Demonic Might in the sky slowly intensified. Under the influence of the Demonic Might, the air turned sticky and viscous; no wind blew.


    “This lowly one is the Blood Prison Demonic Pce’s Demonic Venerate Mu Yun. Might I ask why you are here? If it is for dragon blood, I have it and can give you half.”


    All of Xiao Chen’s aura was isted when he wore the Death God Mask. Demonic Venerate Mu Yun could not figure him out at all. He only found Xiao Chen mysterious and unfathomable. His expression immediately turned extremely grave.


    The white mask looked extremely exquisite, with two rows of tiny mysterious scriptures on it.


    With one look at the mask, it felt very strange, inspiring fear. If one kept looking at it, one would feel terror and no longer dare to look.


    “Your Excellency, do not get greedy. Half the dragon blood I have is already my greatestpromise.” Demonic Venerate Mu Yun snorted coldly and mmed the butt of the ghost pennant on the ground. His overwhelming Demonic Might surged out in all directions.


    “I do not want your dragon blood.”


    “What do you want? I can give you what is givable. Everything can be negotiated.”


    “I want your life!”


    That reply infuriated Demonic Venerate Mu Yun. Swinging the ghost pennant in his hand, he shouted, “This old man has been enduring. Do you really think that I am easy to bully? Die!”


    The Blood Prison Demonic Dragon came out of the ghost pennant at lightning speed, charging towards Xiao Chen with an even stronger demonic Dragon Might than before.


    The demonic clouds covering the sky were an extension of Xiao Chen’s senses. Without moving, he could see everything.


    The feeling of looking down from the sky felt wonderful. When Xiao Chen saw the Blood Prison Demonic Dragon rushing over, he smiled coldly.


    The Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant appeared in Xiao Chen’s hand. Then, he shook it slightly, and the Great Deste Eon Qiongqi Beast flew out.


    “A Soul Tool!”


    The flustered Demonic Venerate Mu Yun tried to summon back the Blood Prison Demonic Dragon in his panic.


    Unfortunately, it was toote!


    “Boom!”


    The Blood Prison Demonic Dragon and the Great Deste Eon Qiongqi Beast met in the air and shed. In merely a breath of time, the Qiongqi Beast tore the Blood Prison Demonic Dragon apart.


    Demonic Venerate Mu Yun shrieked in pain. He paled, appearing drained of blood.


    “Withdraw!” Xiao Chen shouted, not wanting to overuse the Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant.


    The Qiongqi Beast roared furiously, and the sound spread out in all directions. Then, it reluctantly returned to the ghost pennant.


    “Bang!” The Qiongqi Beast’s furious roar directly knocked Demonic Venerate Mu Yun into the air.


    When Demonic Venerate Mu Yunnded, he held a talisman in his hand and silently circted a Secret Technique, making a final gamble. However, he still showed an expression of horror and despair.


    As long as this persones over, I can instantly turn the situation around. I still have a chance. There is still a chance!


    “Whoosh!”


    Clearly, this was just Demonic Venerate Mu Yun’s wishful thinking. Xiao Chen took out the God Shadow Bow and shot an arrow with his remaining Soul Energy.


    The instant Xiao Chen let go, the arrow stabbed into Demonic Venerate Mu Yun’s chest, causing Demonic Venerate Mu Yun to get blown away again.


    Demonic Venerate Mu Yun’s meridians shattered, and his soul scattered. All signs of life disappeared in that instant.


    “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”


    Xiao Chen’s figure shed. Then, he removed his mask and looked expressionlessly at this Demonic Venerate Mu Yun. Even so, he did not approach him.


    Only after Xiao Chen verified that Demonic Venerate Mu Yun was dead did he walk over. After taking a nce, he swung his saber and chopped off Demonic Venerate Mu Yun’s head.


    First missionpleted!
