Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 174: Coming to the Imperial City, Killing the Emperor! (Seeking Subscriptions)

"Roar!"

The sudden attack from the Bursting Ape caused heavy casualties among the demonic cultivators.

More importantly, in his rage, he became a disruptor, sharing countless firepower with Zhong Cang.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Cang's eyes lit up.

Then, taking advantage of the enemy's slowed attack and their inability to care for themselves, Zhong Cang continuously drove his Heart Sword to launch soul attacks.

Unlike before, this time, his main targets were the cultivators of the Myriad Spirit Demon Sect. Moreover, he only attacked the human side of the demonic cultivators, sparing the monster souls forcibly condensed into the Integrated Union.

The reaction to this was:

"Roar!"

"Ah..."

The continuous beast roars resounded within the barrier.

Without human restraint, the disciples of the Myriad Spirit Demon Sect turned into mindless monsters, attacking everything around them recklessly.

Because they lost their intelligence, their damage to the demonic cultivators was minimal.

Some cruel monsters were even treated as dogs by the demonic sect cultivators, coming and going freely.

However, although they couldn't kill many people, their presence caused chaos among the demonic cultivators.

Seeing this, Zhong Cang's eyes gleamed with coldness.

"Hoo..."

"Whoosh!"

The strong wind propelled Zhong Cang, allowing him to charge towards the demonic cultivators like the wind and lightning.

This time, he was no longer focused on evasion.

As he charged straight ahead, he suddenly swung the sword in his hand.

"Slash!"

"Shrrr..."

With unparalleled speed, targeting the weak points of all things in motion, and with the support of the Heart Sword, Zhong Cang's slash was unstoppable.

The pushing force of the wind's atmosphere made Zhong Cang's flying speed as fast as the wind and lightning.

"Swish..."

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Cang had rushed over eight hundred meters like a storm.

And behind him, more than ten demonic cultivators had their heads split in two or were cut in half, dying a miserable death under his sword.

"Kill!"

Without stopping, after reaching the end, he immediately turned around and headed towards the direction where the demonic cultivators gathered.

"Hoo..."

The strong wind howled.

Flying all the way, killing all the way, the demonic cultivators on the scene hadn't noticed anything due to the chaos of the battle.

But the Foundation Building cultivators of the demonic sect who were watching Zhong Cang's battle, as well as the influential families and nobles of the major cities, all widened their eyes.

They saw that Zhong Cang, protected by the Dragon Fish, was like the wind of death. Wherever the strong wind blew, death followed Zhong Cang.

Unstoppable, unmatched, and impossible to evade.

This truly confirmed the saying, "Death is like the wind, always by my side."

In a very short time, Zhong Cang, accompanied by the swift wind, had entered and exited the group of demonic cultivators seven times, killing nearly a hundred of them.

And this is only what Zhong Cang killed with his sword.

While he was charging and killing, the flying sword Thunderclap was also not idle, roaming around Zhong Cang, like thunder and lightning, constantly shuttling through the group of demonic cultivators.

"Whoosh!"

"Sss..."

Without the burden of a physical body, Thunderclap's speed was even faster, and its killing efficiency was higher.

The number of demonic cultivators killed by Thunderclap's sword was twice as many as those killed by Zhong Cang himself.

Lastly, there was the Heart Sword Intent.

Ignoring distance, Zhong Cang used it as a killing move against some special demonic cultivators.

... The demonic cultivators were not without smart individuals. Seeing Zhong Cang killing indiscriminately, they felt the crisis and immediately prepared to shout loudly, hoping to temporarily put aside their differences and collectively besiege Zhong Cang.

Then, as they shouted, the sound of swords rang out, and they also met their end.

...

"Sss..."

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the Myriad Spirit Demon Sect turning into demons, Zhong Cang, who seized the opportunity, killed countless demonic cultivators in a short period of time.

When everything calmed down, the demons transformed by the Myriad Spirit Demon Sect were cleared, and there were only 120 demonic cultivators left at the scene.

Looking at them, Zhong Cang smiled and stepped forward.

He was alone, but facing a large number of demonic sect cultivators, they retreated step by step.

It was not until they reached the blood-red barrier and found that they had no way to retreat that their expressions gradually turned mad.

"We have nowhere to escape, kill!"

"If you want me to die, you will have to pay the price!"

"Blood and fire burn!"

Falling into desperation completely, it instead aroused the ferocity of the demonic cultivators, causing them to charge towards Zhong Cang with red eyes.

Some even immediately activated desperate techniques similar to the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

At the moment of death, many people would even self-destruct.

Such a desperate fighting style greatly disturbed Zhong Cang. Unfortunately:

"If you had started with all 700 of you using desperate techniques, I might have a chance of dying, but now, it's too late!"

"Clang!" "Hum!"

Sword qi flew, spells bombarded wildly, and in the midst of desperation, the confrontation between the two sides was extremely fierce.

It could be said that on the battlefield, people were dying every moment.

And in the fierce battle, the outcome gradually tilted towards Zhong Cang.

There was no way, the Heart Sword Intent that surpassed everything was too powerful.

The fervent Heart Sword Intent made it so that Zhong Cang didn't need to care about what spells the opponent was releasing. Regardless of attacks, curses, restrictions, or defenses, Zhong Cang could cut through everything with a single sword.

With such unmatched power, Zhong Cang freely roamed through the group of demonic cultivators.

Under the sword that shattered all spells, everything and everyone couldn't touch Zhong Cang.

Moreover, it was said to be more than a hundred against one.

But due to the positioning of friendly forces, Zhong Cang only had to deal with five or six people at a time.

These people couldn't do anything to Zhong Cang.

They couldn't even break through the defense of the Dragon Fish.

Although Zhong Cang didn't care much and didn't even mention it specifically, the Divine Lord Dragon Fish nurtured by the kidneys had a cultivation base of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, with its mastery of the Wind Intent, it could exchange a few moves with the Saint Child candidates of the demonic sect alone.

...

"Chi La..."

The brutal battle lasted for half an incense stick's worth of time. As the expressionless Zhong Cang retrieved his sword from the body of a demon cultivator he had cleaved in half, there was only one demon cultivator left standing on the scene.

It was the Saintess of the Yin Yang Joyous Union Sect.

Looking at Zhong Cang, she showed fear on her face and pleaded pitifully, "Lord Zhong Cang, I never intended to harm you. Before the battle, I said that I wanted you to become my Dao companion..."

"Bang!"

Before she could finish speaking, the flying sword, Thunderclap, turned into a streak of lightning and shot out.

However, this flying sword was not aimed at the cultivator in front of them, but instead headed towards a ruin.

Such an action seemed as if Zhong Cang had spared the candidate Saintess in front of him.

However, upon seeing Zhong Cang's actions, the girl in front of him not only did not show gratitude, but instead her face changed drastically.

"No!!!"

In her panicked scream, a cultivator suddenly appeared from the seemingly ordinary ruin and desperately tried to escape.

Unfortunately, it was futile. The speed of the Thunderous Sword was beyond what an ordinary person could evade.

As for resistance, Zhong Cang's previous battles had already demonstrated to everyone watching this battle one thing: his sword could cut through anything.

"Chi!"

With a flash of sword light, the candidate Saintess of the Yin Yang Joyous Union Sect met her tragic end.

Her death also marked the complete end of this battle.

...

After going to great lengths to set up traps and having seven hundred cultivators surround and kill one person, the result was that Zhong Cang single-handedly broke through their encirclement.

This scene made the Foundation Building Perfected Being of the demonic sect outside the barrier have a gloomy expression.

However, his bad mood was insignificant to the beings of the Xuan Yuan Realm. It was just a trivial matter.

The biggest impact of this battle was that the major clans and families were intimidated by Zhong Cang.

Surrounding and killing one person with seven hundred others was nothing. Each of those influential families could easily gather hundreds of thousands of troops.

But it must be known that the seven hundred people surrounding Zhong Cang were not ordinary soldiers, but cultivators.

Cultivators were stronger than Martial Artists at the same level. One cultivator was equivalent to three to five Innate Martial Masters.

Seven hundred cultivators were equivalent to over three thousand Martial Masters, plus a dozen or so Martial Dao Sect masters.

This luxurious lineup, however, failed to keep Zhong Cang. This forced them to consider a question:

"If Zhong Cang were to come alone, could we stop him?"

The answer was naturally negative.

Although some people consoled themselves by saying that the demonic sect was not united, their own families were united.

However, before they could finish speaking, they were angrily rebuked.

"United? Haha, if Zhong Cang were truly a butcher willing to slaughter everything, we would indeed wholeheartedly resist. But he is not foolish and is willing to take in families that surrender."

"Do you believe that if you dare to declare today that you will oppose Zhong Cang, by the afternoon, the families under us will openly rebel and support Zhong Cang... No, not only the families that rely on us, even the branches of our own families will not help us, but instead will join Zhong Cang and seek to replace us!"

"..."

The clan elder dared not argue against these words.

And such discussions were not limited to just one family. Many of the major clans in the Xuan Yuan Realm were discussing whether it was necessary to oppose Zhong Cang.

The final result was:

It was discovered that Zhong Cang alone had the power to annihilate a major clan, and Zhong Cang didn't even need to send envoys to persuade them.

That day, a family publicly declared that Zhong Cang was a divine being sent from heaven, a ruler of virtue.

Meanwhile, there were people spreading various messages, saying that the Great Yin Dynasty was unjust, the Demon Sect was cruel, and they wanted to refine elixirs with their own kind, and that their crimes were unforgivable, and so on.

It can be said that while Zhong Cang was still trapped in the barrier, his reputation in the Xuan Yuan Realm had already started to change.

And this situation also proved what Zhong Cang had said before, that as long as one is strong enough, there will be great scholars who will speak up for themselves and establish their legitimacy.

...

Of course, Zhong Cang was unaware of these things.

Having slaughtered all the members of the Demon Sect, Zhong Cang looked at the Foundation Building Perfected Being outside the barrier.

That Perfected Being also looked at Zhong Cang with a murderous intent.

However, after a moment of eye contact, the Poisonous Dragon Perfected Being found that Zhong Cang's expression remained unchanged, but he himself felt a chill in his heart, which made his expression freeze.

"This feeling... he wants to kill me!"

"How dare he!"

A Qi Refining Stage cultivator harboring murderous intent towards him, a Foundation Building cultivator, made the Poisonous Dragon Perfected Being angry at first.

However, his anger quickly dissipated.

It wasn't because of his cultivation level.

It was because he saw the seven hundred demon cultivators who had died in the barrier.

Although he was confident in his own strength, the Poisonous Dragon Perfected Being was certain that he couldn't defeat these seven hundred demon cultivators.

And being not foolish, he quickly realized that if Zhong Cang could slaughter these seven hundred demon cultivators, then naturally he could kill him too.

"Hmph..."

After deducing this conclusion, the Poisonous Dragon Perfected Being, who was filled with fear, snorted coldly and didn't even dare to say anything harsh before hastily leaving.

Not long after he left, the cultivators from the Cloud Firmament Sect hurriedly arrived and assisted Zhong Cang in breaking the barrier.

And as soon as Zhong Cang was rescued, the Perfected Being from the Hualin Sect nervously grabbed his shoulder and asked for a promise.

"Next time, absolutely don't go out alone!"

"Don't worry, I will be careful and won't let myself fall into danger again."

Although he had survived and accomplished the feat of killing seven hundred demon cultivators alone, Zhong Cang was well aware that luck played a part in his success.

If the seven hundred demon cultivators had launched a desperate charge together from the beginning, the probability of his death would have been at least eighty percent.

Not wanting to end up in such a situation, Zhong Cang had already made up his mind that from now on, no matter where he went, he would bring fellow sect cultivators with him.

Moreover, when entering certain special places, he would activate his Heavenly Heart to sense any danger or abnormalities in the surroundings.

...

After making this promise to the Hualin Perfected Being several times, he finally relaxed a little.

And as the cultivators from the Cloud Firmament Sect returned to Anlong City, Zhong Cang also heard a surprising piece of news.

"The battle just now was broadcasted live, and more than a dozen families openly supported us? What was the Demon Sect thinking, actually spreading news of their defeat..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhong Cang realized that it wasn't the Demon Sect's stupidity to spread news of his defeat.

It was because they believed that with seven hundred people surrounding and attacking one person, they had a great advantage and couldn't possibly lose, which was why they made the battle public.

And then, they met a tragedy.

After silently laughing for a moment, Zhong Cang knew that his march ahead would be much easier from now on.

After all, previously, he was almost universally opposed.

Now, his opponents were only the royal family and the Demon Sect—the power of the aristocratic families had been neutralized by his supporters and opponents.

Just as Zhong Cang let out a sigh of relief and the cultivators from the Cloud Firmament Sect were all happy, he received a secret letter from Jingming Perfected Being upon returning to the imperial city.

"Come to the imperial city quickly and kill the emperor!"
