I, the Son of the Demon Emperor, Had My Eyes Gouged Out by My Fiancée on Our Wedding Night - Chapter 26

26: The Cloud Sword Holy Land? Mere Ants!

“This old demon’s power has grown again.”

The three elders exchanged grim looks.

A single clash had revealed the insurmountable gap between them.

Li Xueren’s strength far surpassed ordinary Great Sage realms.

“Would he truly dare kill us?”

The Cloud Sword Grand Elder’s brow furrowed.

They carried life-preserving treasures—

But such artifacts were priceless, irreplaceable even for holy land elders.

“Grand Elder, we can’t hold out!”

“At this rate, our disciples’ morale will collapse!”

The Second and Third Elders dripped with sweat.

Against this onslaught, their resistance grew increasingly desperate.

Li Xueren’s blade storms annihilated their sword energies with thunderous brutality.

“Wait! I have one last technique!”

The Grand Elder’s hand flashed—

A black longsword materialized, its aura shaking heaven and earth.

The very blade energies around them shattered under its pressure.

“Don’t just stand there! Subdue him now!”

“Capture him, and we gain leverage!”

The Grand Elder’s voice was urgent.

This was his lifebound artifact—its endurance limited.

Their only hope was swift victory.

“Leave it to us!”

The two junior elders’ eyes blazed.

They understood—this was their only chance.

BOOM—!

Twin sword energies erupted like raging rivers—

Converging into colossal blades aimed at Li Xueren’s heart.

A strike meant to cripple if not kill.

Cloud Sword disciples cheered prematurely.

“See? This is why we need our elders!”

The sentries had already forgotten being used as shields.

As the three elders combined forces, the tide seemed to turn.

The very air distorted under concentrated sword intent—

Space itself fracturing under the pressure.

Li Xueren’s blade energies crumbled before the assault.

“Great Elder, should we intervene?”

From his bone chariot, Lu Yuan watched intently.

Three against one was unfair—

Another demon elder could tip the scales.

“Hah! Third Brother would skin me alive for stealing his fun.”

Fang Lu chuckled. “If he were serious, those three would already be dead.”

Lu Yuan fell silent, observing.

At his cultivation level, the battle’s intricacies were unfathomable.

A single stray energy strand could annihilate him instantly.

This was a duel beyond mortal comprehension.

“Pathetic! Is this all?”

Li Xueren’s scornful laughter rang out.

His demonic blade flared—

A galactic torrent of blade light engulfed the sky.

CRACK—!

The two junior elders catapulted backward, sword energies obliterated.

Bl00d rained from their mouths as they crashed down—

Arms limp, bodies lacerated by hundreds of wounds.

Only three life-saving artifacts had spared them from instant annihilation.

The Cloud Sword disciples’ cheers died in their throats.

Dread replaced hope.

This was just the demon sect’s Third Elder.

What horrors would the Great Elder unleash?

“Damn you, demon! Today you die!”

The Grand Elder’s roar shook mountains.

How could his peers fall so easily?

With a world-shaking bellow, he charged—

His black sword manifests a colossal sword immortal phantom.

“DIE!”

Ten thousand sword rays converged, brighter than stars—

The very heavens ripped asunder under their weight.

Cloud Sword disciples gaped in awe.

This was their Grand Elder’s true might!

Against such power, even the demon hordes seemed insignificant.

“Ants remain ants.”

Li Xueren’s blade descended—

A crimson executioner’s stroke that severed time itself.

A black celestial blade materialized, its edge eternity-sharp.

BOOM—!

The sword immortal phantom shattered like glass.

Despite the overwhelming sword energies, the black blade’s descent never slowed.

CRASH—!

The Grand Elder plummeted like a meteor—

SMASHING into the mountain barrier in a bloody explosion.

Silence.

Then—

Horrified disbelief.
