Master of the Demon Emperor

Chapter 173 Three-legged Golden Crow

Clang! Clang! Clang...

Between the mountains, Su Yie was locked in fierce battle with the Blade Emperor's Wronged Spirit, his mastery of the Twin Sword Sovereigns techniques giving him the upper hand.

Now, employing the Twin Sword Sovereigns technique at such speed that he became a blur to the naked eye, it was as if countless afterimages were laying siege to the Blade Emperor's Wronged Spirit.

The Blade Emperor's Wronged Spirit wielded two weapons, seemingly suppressed, but it managed to block every one of Su Yie's attacks.

Far from panicking, Su Yie was using the Blade Emperor's Wronged Spirit to hone his own skills.

The Blade Emperor's spirit, significantly weaker than its physical counterpart, offered Su Yie the chance to spar with an adversary of equal strength.

Not far away, Xiao Bai watched the battle with considerable anxiety.

Whoosh!

Just then, a Black Arrow suddenly shot towards Xiao Bai.

A cold light shattered the night sky.

With agile reflexes, Xiao Bai dodged, but the Black Arrow still grazed the side of its dragon body, drawing blood and causing it to neigh in pain.

Seeing this, Su Yie was furious and immediately unleashed his full power, delivering a sword strike.

The strength of fourteen hundred dragons was terrifying indeed!

The Blade Emperor's Wronged Spirit was sent flying away by the strike, and Su Yie's gaze hardened. Treasured swords flew out from the Repository of the Dao, hovering above his head, swiftly forming hundreds of Sword Shadows, hanging in the air. Without hesitation, he executed the Ten Thousand Sword Jue on the mountain that had launched the attack at Xiao Bai.

Boom—

The hundreds of Sword Shadows burst forth with Sword Qi, forming a torrential onslaught.

It was like a silver river pouring down from the night sky, colliding with the mountain peak, the dust flying, trees submerged, the whole peak shaking violently as if ready to collapse.

The Blade Emperor's Wronged Spirit launched another attack on Su Yie.

Su Yie turned around, his right index finger pointing forward.

Nine Heavens Immortal Finger!

Mixed with the Abyssal Goldfire!

Like a fiery line, it pierced through the ghostly body of the Blade Emperor's Wronged Spirit. In an instant, the ghostly body exploded apart, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated in the night sky.

Xiao Bai quickly flew up to Su Yie.

"Let's go!" Read latest stories on empire

Su Yie turned and flew toward the distant fires. Though the battle with the Blade Emperor's spirit had not been long, it had still been a valuable experience.

This was a top-tier Blade Cultivator, after all!

Meanwhile, dawn was breaking at the edge of the sky and earth.

"With your father here, what are you worried about? Manage yourself."

Feng Long spoke coldly, breaking the silence, "At the top of the mountain, there is a very powerful flame. It is most likely the legendary Three-legged Golden Crow. You must be careful and seize the Dragon Branch when the Golden Crow lets down its guard. The Dragon Branch is a rare treasure born at the dawn of heaven and earth, with endless marvels. If you miss this chance, you might not encounter it again."

As Su Yie walked, he asked inwardly, "How strong is this Three-legged Golden Crow?"

"Based on my estimates, this Three-legged Golden Crow should still be in its juvenile phase. Even so, it is not an opponent you can handle. In the vastness of the Ancient Wilderness, there are countless races of creatures, and the Three-legged Golden Crow is definitely among the most powerful. They feed on dragons and quench their thirst with the sea. You must be cautious. Your Abyssal Goldfire is nothing compared to the True Sunflame of the Three-legged Golden Crow."

Feng Long warned, fearing for Su Yie's safety.

They feed on dragons and quench their thirst with the sea!

Su Yie took a deep breath and said to Xiao Bai on his shoulder, "Stay here and wait for me. The creature above preys on dragons."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai shivered in fright and quickly came to a halt.

"Master, you must be careful!"

Xiao Bai called out. Su Yie waved his hand and soon disappeared into the underbrush.

Su Yie began to conceal his Demon Qi as he silently made his way upward.

Daylight gradually spread.

The higher he climbed, the stronger the pressure Su Yie felt.

In the distance, he could hear the sound of snoring.

Was the Three-legged Golden Crow asleep?

Su Yie hastened his steps, quickly breaking out of the forest and began to scramble up the steep cliff.

When he reached a height of a thousand feet, the cliff walls had become scorching hot.

Bearing the Abyssal Goldfire, he was highly resistant to high temperatures, yet he still felt the heat. It was hard to imagine just how hot the cliff walls were.

At the same time, he wondered how Ancestor Xia had managed to climb up the peak in the past.

Perhaps Ancestor Xia was already very powerful when ascending Immortal Emperor's Peak.

Su Yie proceeded cautiously upward.

He did not dare to fly upward with his sword. If his Sword Qi and Demon Qi were to leak, the Three-legged Golden Crow could easily detect him.

About the time it takes for a pot of tea to brew passed.

Su Yie arrived below the clouds. From here, one could look down and see most of the Immortal Scorching Ridge.

The sunlight poured down, the mountains rolled in succession like green waves, beautifully breathtaking. The rich Spiritual Energy entered Su Yie's nose, giving him a sense of floating, as if about to become immortal.

He took a deep breath and, without looking back, climbed higher into the sea of clouds.
