Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 787: I've Remembered Your Hatred

Chapter 787: I've Remembered Your Hatred

The clouds above Moon Shadow Sect were split apart by an invisible Sword Intent.

A figure "swished" into place right in front of Chen Huaian.

Lin Fan, dressed in white robes, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, rested his right hand lightly on his sword hilt, two points of cold light gleaming in his eyes.

Chen Huaian looked him up and down, his eyes lighting up. "I haven't seen you for a while, and your cultivation has clearly improved significantly?!"

"If not for the ancestor's assistance, I definitely could not have made such progress in such a short time," Lin Fan said, looking a bit embarrassed. "This junior cultivates the Explosive Sword Art, which consumes an extremely high amount of materials. The money I usually earn is basically all spent on this.

Furthermore, forging a single qualified magic sword requires a considerable amount of time. It drains both money and time, which is why this junior's cultivation progress has been so slow.

It was the ancestor who gave this junior so many qualified magic swords, allowing me to use them freely without any worries. Cultivating naturally became as easy as a fish in water."

Chen Huaian nodded repeatedly.

In any case, Lin Fan was now at the Void Treading ninth stage. One more step and he'd reach the peak of Void Shattering, clearly having become the strongest elder in the entire Moon Shadow Sect.

Beneath him was Lin Fan.

Compared to Zhang Mengchu and Li Ziping, Lin Fan was a pure battle maniac, also making him very suitable as a permanent fighter to be summoned to Earth Star.

"Ancestor, just tell me, who do we kill this time?" A ferocious smile curled at the corner of Lin Fan's mouth.

At that moment, several more auras at the Void Shattering Realm came tearing through the air. However, upon sensing the continuously rising Sword Intent emanating from Lin Fan's body, the elders who arrived all wore looks of astonishment.

He had reached the Void Treading ninth stage without a sound.

This Lin Fan guy... was kind of awesome!

Since Lin Fan was now the strongest Void Shattering cultivator present, the others probably had little chance of being chosen by the ancestor. Moreover, the ancestor had only called for Lin Fan to assemble just now, not calling for them at all. This left the enthusiastically arriving Zhang Mengchu, Li Ziping, and others feeling somewhat disappointed.

Why hadn't they seized the time to improve their strength?

Now, the opportunity had been snatched away by this madman Lin Fan.

Zhang Mengchu blamed himself internally, reflecting bitterly on his mistake.

He must have been having too much fun playing with his two disciples lately, losing all sense of time and priorities. It seemed necessary to study a proper Dual Cultivation method, which could improve his disciples' cultivation while also consolidating his own, aiming for a strategy where he suffers no losses.

A lecherous smile spread across Zhang Mengchu's face.

But then he heard Chen Huaian suddenly say, "You've come at the right time. This time, besides Lin Fan, This Venerable One can take one more person to Earth Star."

Hah~ Dual Cultivation was out of the question.

Zhang Mengchu stood straight in front of Chen Huaian, chest puffed out, standing at attention.

A man's ambitions lie beyond the four seas! Only accompanying the ancestor to conquer other worlds was the true path!

Indulging in a gentle, comfortable life would lead to corruption sooner or later.

At this moment, Zhang Mengchu's sliding thoughts slid right back on track.

"Ancestor, I primarily cultivate the True Martial Pure Yang Sword, and besides Lin Fan, I am the strongest," Li Ziping said, elbowing aside the standing-at-attention Zhang Mengchu with his hip, a hint of a fawning smile on his face.

If the disciples saw him like this, their jaws would probably drop in shock.

The usually stern-faced Elder Li actually capable of such flattery and sycophancy? Such a contrast would be absolutely unimaginable.

"What's so great about the Pure Yang Sword? Is it that awesome?" Zhang Mengchu elbowed his way back with his hip, then cupped his hands respectfully toward Chen Huaian. "Ancestor, aren't our enemies the thick-skinned and tough Demon Immortal avatars?

That Pure Yang Sword isn't very effective against thick-skinned, tough Demon Immortal avatars.

To deal with such turtle-shell defenses, you need the True Martial Pure Yin Sword.

Furthermore, I myself am quite 'yin'—I plan before I act, and I would absolutely never put the ancestor in a dangerous situation."

After Zhang Mengchu finished speaking, the other elders also eagerly recommended themselves. However, Chen Huaian had already made his choice long ago.

Since these elders had all come sniffing around...

Well, that was fine too, lest they accuse him of unfair selection.

"Lin Fan, you're coming with This Venerable One," Chen Huaian said, tilting his chin toward Lin Fan, then looked at Zhang Mengchu. "And you."

Choosing Zhang Mengchu wasn't just because of his strength, but also because this old guy was quite skilled in formations, at least more so than Li Ziping.

And Lin Fan was pure combat power, a complete idiot when it came to formations.

Chen Niu might fall for a trick once, but that didn't mean he'd fall for it a second time.

When the time came, they might need Zhang Mengchu's formations as a safety net.

"You two, get ready. This Venerable One will return to Earth Star first. It won't be long before I summon you," Chen Huaian said seriously, then immediately logged off.

The group of elders looked at each other, each sighing in disappointment.

"Jiejie! The ancestor ultimately chose this old man after all~" Zhang Mengchu wore a smug expression, glancing sideways at the gloomy-faced Li Ziping beside him. Mimicking Li Ziping's manner of speaking, he said in a mocking, sarcastic tone, "Oho, oho, ancestor, I practice the True Martial Pure Yang Sword, besides Lin Fan, I'm the strongest~"

"Get lost!" Even Li Ziping, usually so steady and calm, couldn't help but fly into a rage. He swung his sword at Zhang Mengchu. "Come! This old man is determined to carve a few openings in you today!"

...

When Chen Huaian returned to Earth Star, he was still inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda. The time had just passed midnight, marking the next day.

The disorienting sense of time distortion between the two worlds left him feeling slightly dazed.

Taking out the Canglan Mirror, he could see everything accelerated into a blur of afterimages, making it almost impossible to discern what Li Qingran was doing.

He put away the Canglan Mirror and cautiously spread out his Divine Sense.

The interior of the Demon Sealing Pagoda was safe.

So, he shifted his position to outside the pagoda.

The overwhelming stench of blood assaulted him, making his vision darken for a moment. Before the Demon Sealing Pagoda lay a scene of carnage, corpses of demons strewn everywhere.

The demons guarding the Demon Sealing Pagoda had almost all been wiped out. Judging by their manner of death, they had been crushed to death by an immense pressure.

Most of the demons had blood flowing from all seven orifices, their internal organs ruptured.

Even a fool could guess it was Chen Niu's doing. Chen Niu's gravity-manipulating Divine Ability could cause precisely such a horrific scene.

Fortunately, Chen Niu's aura had already vanished.

It seemed his use of the Phoenix's Nirvana to execute a Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell had been successful.

"It's good that he's gone. That means I don't need to find another safe place to use the Sect Summoning Token."

Chen Huaian looked at the corpses littered all around, unable to help feeling a pang of regret.

"Your bodies lying here are just lying here. The vengeful souls gathering here have no possibility of seeking revenge...

It would be better to become part of This Venerable One's Heavenly Demon Art, helping This Venerable One ascend to greater heights.

This Venerable One is the inheritor of the Dragon Soul. One day, I will avenge you all. It's merely a matter of killing Chen Niu. That day is not far off."

With that, he slowly closed his eyes, the Heavenly Demon Art within him quietly beginning to circulate.

Instantly, with him as the center, an invisible suction force manifested.

The resentment, the aura of death permeating the area around the Demon Sealing Pagoda, along with the lingering fragments of consciousness from the demon souls that had just dispersed and not yet completely returned to heaven and earth, seemed to hear a certain summons. They let out silent wails, transforming into visible streams of gray-black energy. Like a hundred rivers converging into the sea, they madly surged toward Chen Huaian!

These streams of energy drilled into his body, rapidly refined and devoured by the Heavenly Demon Art.

His aura began to climb at a visible rate. Faint black-red demonic patterns appeared around his body. When his eyes opened and closed, a fleeting, eerie red light flashed within them.

"Go in peace... Your vengeance, This Venerable One has noted it down.

Chen Niu... will undoubtedly die!"
