Chapter 340 - The Lord's Sword



"What are you talking about?" Grandpa Lan looked at the Demon Lord with a puzzled expression.

However, the Demon Lord completely ignored Grandpa Lan and continued to stare at Yuan's figure with disbelief.

"A mask! That sword! After so many years, you have finally decided to return to the Mystic Realm— Lord!" A massive smile appeared on the Demon Lord's face, but there was also a hint of fear in its eyes.

"What?!" Grandpa Lan exclaimed in a shocked voice when he heard the Demon Lord addressed Yuan as 'Lord'.

"I won't forget the humiliation you had put me through on that day no matter how many years passes, Lord!" The Demon Lord suddenly flew towards Yuan's location.

"Watch out!" Grandpa Lan shouted loudly to warn Yuan and the others of the Demon Lord's presence.

"Huh?" Yuan turned around at Grandpa Lan's voice, and to his surprise, the Demon Lord in the sky was flying in their direction!

BOOM!

The Demon Lord punched Yuan with all of its might, as it didn't want to risk this chance to take him by surprise.

Luckily for Yuan, Grandpa Lan had warned him right before the Demon Lord made his strike, giving him a split second to react and protect himself with the Empyrean Overlord.

However, the impact was an entirely different matter, and Yuan was sent flying many meters away, crashing into trees and destroying them with his back.

Yuan managed to stabilize himself after flying about two hundred meters.

*Cough*

He coughed up a mouthful of blood afterward.

'What a powerful strike! If I hadn't blocked that attack, I would've probably died just now!' Yuan's body trembled at that thought, yet his eyes didn't have even a hint of fear within them.

Instead, it flickered with excitement, as he has never been pushed to such an extent before.

"Yuan! Are you okay?!" Lan Yingying quickly approached him.

"Yes, I'm fine." Yuan nodded.

"Yuan? Wait a second, you're not the Lord. Who are you? And where did you get that sword?" The Demon Lord finally noticed Yuan's cultivation base that was too low to be the Lord and stopped its assault.

A second later, both grandparents stood between Yuan and the Demon Lord.

"If that young man was the Lord, he would've killed you as easily as breathing!" Grandpa Lan said.

"Then he must be a descendant of the Lord! After all, that sword in his hand belongs to the Lord!" The Demon Lord revealed, as it will never forget the devastation that sword had caused the demons.

"What?! Really?!"

The Lan Family expressed shock upon learning this since even they didn't know that the sword in Yuan's hand once belonged to the Lord!

'Is that why I felt some sort of connection to it?' Lan Yingying finally realized why she was attracted to the sword. It turned out to be the Lord's sword.

"So the Sword Emperor is the Lord?" Yuan mumbled.

Does this mean the Sword Emperor is dead? After all, Feng Yuxiang mentioned that she found the Empyrean Overlord in a Legacy Tomb, where powerful cultivators leave their legacy behind because they are close to death.

"That's not possible— he cannot be the Lord's descendant! We have already tested his blood!" Grandpa Lan said.

The Demon Lord turned to look at the two demons that had been sealed by Yuan.

"Then you must be someone from the Demon Sealing Clan that's also affiliated with the Lord. In any case, I cannot and will not let you leave this place alive." It glared at him with a bloodthirsty gaze.

"Blood Sword!"

The Demon Lord summoned its weapon using its own blood.

"Even if there are four of you, it won't be enough to kill me, especially if the Lord isn't with you." The Demon Lord began approaching them with its aura growing stronger and stronger.

"Young man, we're going to distract it while you look for the opportunity to strike it with the demon sealing strike," Grandpa Lan said to him.

"Okay." Yuan nodded.

"Let's go, grandma. Yingying, you stay behind. There's nothing you can do here."

Even though Lan Yingying didn't want to admit it, she truly did not qualify to be in this battle.

A few seconds later, both of the grandparents went to attack the Demon Lord.

"Hahaha! Are you trying to distract me while that human waits for the chance to seal me? I am not as foolish as the other demons!" The Demon Lord laughed out loud as it began fighting the two snakes.

And whenever it had the chance, it would throw an attack at Yuan to let him know that it was keeping track of him.

"I'm going to fight it." Yuan suddenly said after some time.

"What? You can't! The Demon Lord is on another level! You won't be able to get close to him, much less attack him!" Lan Yingying said.

"Perhaps not at my current level, but if I increase my cultivation somehow…" Yuan spoke as he turned to look at the sealed demons not far away from them.

"What do you plan on doing?" Lan Yingying asked him.

"I'm going to kill them and eat their demon cores…" Yuan replied, shocking her.

"Are you serious?!" She looked at him with wide eyes.

Yuan nodded, "If it's true that the founder of the Demon Sealing Clan was able to eat demon cores, I should be able to do the same since I have the same physique."

"But that's just a rumor— a legend! Demon cores are completely different from monster cores! It's too dangerous" Lan Yingying said.

"It may be risky, but we won't know unless I try it." Yuan said, and he continued, "Don't worry, I have a feeling that everything will work out just fine."

Lan Yingying opened her mouth, but alas, she decided to not say anything and let him try to eat the demon cores.

A moment later, Yuan pointed the Empyrean Overlord at the sealed demons and took a deep breath, preparing to use the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike on them.
