Chapter 1237: Chapter 1236 Battle Between Great Saints
When Mad Chuâs words fell, the Thunder Python vanished alongside him within the Thunder Valley.
Xu Zimei departed from the Chu Familyâs Forbidden Land and immediately summoned the Crimson Blade Bull Demon.
âMy Lord,â the Crimson Blade Bull Demon greeted.
âGo assist Northern Hill against the Chu Family,â Xu Zimei commanded.
âBut rememberâdo not annihilate the Chu Family. Simply force Mad Chu to act.â
âUnderstood,â the Crimson Blade Bull Demon replied.
His towering figure leaped directly from the Chu Familyâs inner courtyard, landing at the mansion gates.
The ongoing combatants were stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The Crimson Blade Bull Demon roared furiously, his massive form emanating an oppressive aura that suffocated all present.
With one slap of his palm, the fiercely battling Ji Shang and Chu Feixiong were instantly sent flying backward.
âA Great Saint!â Chu Feixiongâs expression shifted dramatically as he said gravely.
âToday, the Chu Family shall perish,â the Crimson Blade Bull Demon roared, and half of White Emperor City instantly collapsed.
For a moment, no one dared to approach within a hundred miles.
âQuickly, go invite the Madman Ancestorâplead with the Ancestor!â Chu Feixiong shouted frantically.
Once a Great Saint enters the fray, everything changes.
Great Saints belong to the Ghost God Realm, an existence transcending all; they represent the pinnacle of cultivation.
Only a Great Saint can confront another Great Saintâotherwise, no matter how many others gather, they are mere ants marching to their deaths.
The Chu Family members scrambled toward the Forbidden Land in panic, and the Crimson Blade Bull Demon did not obstruct themâfor dragging out Mad Chu was precisely his goal.
âŠâŠâŠ
Outside White Emperor City, Mad Chuâs figure abruptly came to a halt in the void.
âThe Chu Family is seeking rescue,â Mad Chu said, furrowing his brows.
âWerenât you heading to negotiate with the Evil Demon King?â Thunder Python asked.
âWhy not negotiate with the Evil Demon King first and let the Chu Family hold on for a while?â
âWith a Great Saint joining the battle, the Chu Family cannot hold. If I donât go, the Chu Family will undeniably be destroyed,â Mad Chu replied coldly.
âHow brilliantâa scheme to keep me occupied by leveraging the Chu Family.â
âThen what shall we do?â Thunder Python asked.
âLetâs head back. My negotiation with the Evil Demon King was meant to ensure the survival of the Chu Family.
If the Chu Family falls, then even successful negotiations would be meaningless,â Mad Chu said nonchalantly.
âWhy donât I protect the Chu Family while you go speak with the Evil Demon King?â Thunder Python suggested.
âYouâre unqualified. You lack the standing to converse or negotiate with a Great Saint,â Mad Chu responded bluntly.
âMust we simply let them succeed?â Thunder Python said begrudgingly.
âThis is an upright, undeniable stratagem. I just hope the Evil Demon Kingâs intent to kill isnât too strong,â Mad Chu said, shaking his head.
âHe has ties with the White Emperor and experienced the era of the Evil Demon King; naturally, he understands what kind of existence the Evil Demon King truly is.â
He stepped onto Thunder Pythonâs back, piercing through the clouds as he sped toward White Emperor City.
âŠâŠâŠ
Within White Emperor City, the Crimson Blade Bull Demon remained practically invincible.
No one could last even a single exchange against him, and half the Chu Family had been reduced to ruins.
When Mad Chu saw this scene, his expression darkened and shifted with uncertainty; he immediately struck a palm toward the Crimson Blade Bull Demon.
The immense palm force nearly collapsed half of the void.
It struck heavily upon the Crimson Blade Bull Demonâs back, but the demon wasnât fazed in the slightestâhis nostrils merely exhaled white smoke as he slowly turned his head.
âTo bully these people with the stature of a Great Saintâsomewhat unbecoming of a Saintâs grace,â Mad Chu stepped forward from the void, observing the devastation with a furrowed brow.
âI, Old Bull, care not for grace or decorum; I only execute the orders Iâm given,â the Crimson Blade Bull Demon replied.
âThen today, allow me, Chu, to instruct you,â Mad Chu declared.
A white jade necklace hanging around his neck emitted a radiant glow as he extended his hand, drawing out a longsword from within the light.
âThe Blade of Frenzyâranked twentieth among the Divine Swords of eternity.
It is said that when the White Emperor challenged the heavens, the fury of the Principles descended, ultimately severed by this sword.
Thus, it earned the name âFrenzy.'â
As this sword emerged, the sect leaders from various forces watching nearby brightened with keen interestâsome started recounting the swordâs history.
âIndeed?â others queried doubtfully.
âWhy have I heard that this sword was once called Path Severance, only renamed Frenzy?
Itâs said the name shifted due to Mad Chuâs mad and relentless battle style,â someone speculated.
Amidst the heated discussion, there was little time for argument.
The moment Mad Chu drew the Blade of Frenzy, his aura shifted dramatically.
An intense, ferocious Sword Intent surged skyward from his surroundings.
The Principle he had comprehended was the Principle of the Swordârenowned for its sharp, cutting edge.
The void cleaved apart like tofu even before his sword struck, splintering into countless fragments.
The Crimson Blade Bull Demon roared furiously, spewing scorching flames from his mouth that carried molten lava, melting everything they touched.
However, Mad Chu showed no fear; he stomped hard enough to shatter a hundred-mile radius, charging straight ahead.
A madman never knows retreat.
And the Blade of Frenzyâtrue to its nameâonly moves forward without respite.
Sword Intent swept through the azure firmament, cutting the flames cleanly in half as Mad Chu closed in through the blaze.
Surrounded by sparks scattering in all directions, thunder crashing, and the void splinteringâMad Chuâs Blade of Frenzy struck heavily upon the Crimson Blade Bull Demonâs horn.
âYou dare think to sever my horn?â the Crimson Blade Bull Demon sneered coldly.
Fierce flames erupted violently from his horn, channeling into the Blade of Frenzy with overwhelming force, sending Mad Chu flying backward.
âHeavenly Net Subduing Demons!â While airborne within the void, Mad Chu hurled the Blade of Frenzy forward.
The Blade of Frenzy shimmered in the void, its sword body trembling incessantly.
In moments, it split into countless streams of Sword Intent.
The Sword Intent fused into one, forming a vast net descending from the heavens to ensnare the Crimson Blade Bull Demonâs enormous figure.
The Crimson Blade Bull Demon struggled furiously, but the net was unyieldingâhe couldnât break free within a short time.
âRoot Reversal, Inverting the Qiankun,â Mad Chu swept his hand wide, causing the firmament to invert entirely.
It felt as if the heavens were suspended upside down, the sun and moon revolving backward; in an instant, the Crimson Blade Bull Demon, once standing on solid ground, was now hung in the void.
The Sword Intent net contracted rapidly, utterly binding him.
âOne strike spans eternity,â Mad Chu held the Blade of Frenzy upright in front of him, channeling a dazzling stream of light from its hilt.
The light shot straight toward the swordâs tip, radiating an unparalleled sharpness.
âThough Great Saints possess Life and Death Souls, rendering them eternal and indestructibleâŠ
Even so, they can be grievously wounded. Let this strike be your lesson.â
With those words, Mad Chu sent the Blade of Frenzy flying directly toward the Crimson Blade Bull Demonâs brow.
As the blade descended, the void became frozen; the Crimson Blade Bull Demon remained immobile, as if heaven and earth converged to a single point.
The sword plunged into the demonâs brow.
Mad Chuâs gaze remained fixed upon the blade. At that moment, dense demonic Qi erupted from the Crimson Blade Bull Demonâs body.
A massive demonic head materialized from within, opening its enormous maw to swallow the Blade of Frenzy whole.
The demonâs horns surged with thunderous rage, shredding apart the Sword Intent net entirely.
