Chapter 819 - Blood Separation
Chapter 819 – Blood Separation
Qian Chu didn't show any reactions to Grand Elder Cen's words, and he focused on the Demon Emperor that was ready to release its next attack.
"Demon Sealing Formation!"
Grand Elder Suo suddenly created a massive formation around the arena just in time, halting the Demon Emperor's attack for a brief moment.
During this moment, Grand Elder Cen retrieved his treasure that radiated with demon sealing aura.
"Bastard! How dare you kill my people!" He shouted in anger as he unleashed a devastating attack that sliced the ball of blood in half.
The next second, the Demon Emperor regenerated until it returned to its original state, and it lifted its head to look at Grand Elder Cen and the others.
"I don't know what went through your heads that made you believe it would be a good idea to set me free, but I must thank you for releasing me." The Demon Emperor said to them with a calm smile on its face.
"If I restrained you once, I can do it again." Qian Chu responded.
"I'd like to see you try."
The Demon Emperor released a powerful roar that shook the entire coliseum, and its body began burning red, almost like it had just came out of a forge. Furthermore, its bloody wings made a complete transformation, turning into two large and long crystal shards.
The Demon Emperor's bizarre transformation baffled the spectators, as they have never seen such a sight before.
"W-What in heaven's name is that appearance? I didn't know demons can do that…" Lian Er muttered in a dazed voice, and her body that had recently calmed down started trembling in fear again.
Yuan responded almost instantly, "Those two red shards in its back are its demon crystal."
"What?! Why are they so huge? They are usually only the size of a fist-sized rock!" Lian Li exclaimed.
"Demon Emperors are almost an entirely different entity even when compared to other demons. I'm actually surprised that the 8th Leader managed to restrain this demon with his power." Yuan said.
In his mind, he was wondering if the Demon Emperor had allowed Qian Chu to restrain it on purpose for some reason.
"Pointless." Qian Chu spoke in a low voice before retrieving a black sword with red engravings on its blade.
"Demon Sealing Strike."
Qian Chu's movements were so quick that nobody in the spectators had managed to see it with their eyes, and before anyone could even realize what had happened, the Demon Emperor's body disintegrated into countless pieces until there was nothing left.
The people there were left speechless by how easily Qian Chu had managed to dispose of the Demon Emperor.
"As expected of the Demon Sealing Clan's number one genius… He killed the Demon Emperor so easily…"
The spectators began praising Qian Chu afterward.
"That was my first time seeing someone combine demon sealing aura with Sword Qi so efficiently! It's so powerful!" Lian Er's face showed admiration for Qian Chu after witnessing his prowess.
However, while everyone celebrated, Yuan shook his head inwardly.
'What an idiot.'
He then stood up and began leaving the coliseum.
"H-Hey, where are you going?" Lian Er asked him when she noticed him leaving.
"The event is done, so I have no reason to stay, and I am a little hungry." Yuan said to her before disappearing from their sights.
Grand Elder Cen descended in front of the deceased demon sealer from the Demon Sealing Grotto after Qian Chu dealt with the Demon Emperor, and he would stare at their lifeless bodies and their destroyed life-saving treasures with a dazed face.
'If I had intervened sooner, perhaps you might still be alive… I should have listened to my guts earlier.'
It was at this moment the Demon Sealing Flag released Yan Hara, who immediately began panicking.
However, when she couldn't see the Demon Emperor anywhere and saw the situation, she sighed in relief.
"T-Thank you, Leader, for saving my life." Yan Hara said to him, as she was shocked to see three corpses right beside her, mistaking Qian Chu to be her savior, which was a logical thought, since he owned the Demon Sealing Flag that protected her.
As for Suo Rengan, he'd also managed to survive because of the superior life-saving treasures his family and Grand Elder Suo gave him.
Although the other fighters had no idea that they would be fighting a Demon Emperor, Suo Rengan, who was Grand Elder Suo's grandson, had such information, allowing him to prepare in advance.
Qian Chu didn't say anything and merely nodded his head. He suspected Yan Hara to be the culprit at first, but after seeing her condition, he ruled her out.
'Who would dare steal my Demon Sealing Flag just to save her?' Qian Chu wondered to himself afterward.
Once the place calmed down, Grand Elder Cen turned to look at Qian Chu and said, "You will be hearing from the Demon Sealing Grotto soon!"
He disappeared from the coliseum shortly after, taking with him the three demon sealers' corpses.
Meanwhile, a couple of miles away from the Grand Coliseum, Yuan stopped walking when he sensed something.
"Come out. You may be able to fool those idiots, but I can smell your stench from miles away." Yuan said out loud despite it being empty there.
"…"
There was no response.
Yuan sighed and tried again, "I know that you're extremely vulnerable right now because you just used 'Blood Separation', but as you can see, I am only a Spirit Lord. You can easily kill me if you want to. I just want to talk."
After a moment of silence, Yuan shook his head, "Guess I'll just go ahead and let the others know that you're still alive."
He turned around and began walking back to the coliseum.
But before he could even take three steps, Yuan suddenly tilted his head to the right, avoiding a red projectile that shot right through where his head had just been.
He turned around to see a blob of blood sitting not far away from him, and he smiled, "Let's talk, shall we?"
