The Corruption Dragon God: Lust System - Chapter 553 Crimson Eclipse Saber.
Chapter 553 Crimson Eclipse Saber.
Jianming even approached slightly, thinking of trying to defend the marquis, but soon retreated.
It was too late.
His eyes were already empty, and his body was just a dry shell. “Ah…” Jianming inhaled heavily before his lips broke into a beastly roar. “COME TO ME, PIGS! MEET YOUR DEATH!”
And immediately, the demons responded, throwing themselves toward him like a crazed mob of transcendent power, blades, axes, and blood spears appearing in their hands.
The entire center of the capital was immediately reduced to dust by the impact between them and Jianming.
The only exception was the five-colored pavilion, protected by powerful defensive arrays.
Jin Hao had to retreat hastily, throwing himself back into the protection of the arrays, just in time to avoid becoming mincemeat.
For the first time in many years, Jianming, now with only one functioning arm, decided it was time to use his domain.
He gripped the sword with all the strength he had in his left hand, sending the demons flying, and then descended to the ground, plunging the blade into the earth.
Immediately, an explosion echoed, the black clouds surrounding the capital suddenly parting, crimson light falling upon the illuminated imperial capital.
Above everyone, through the hole in the black clouds, a red moon, or to be more specific, the projection of a red moon, hovered, blocking out the sun.
Its light, though frightening, struck the experts fighting like a
protective embrace, causing them to turn their faces toward the horizon.
The general of the Crimson Eclipse Saber seemed to finally be fighting seriously!
“Father!” A woman left the palace of the gold king, watching Jianming ascend to the skies again.
Jianming looked up, feeling more and more demons surrounding him, the number quickly passing thirty.
Then he turned his face toward his daughter, flashing a pained smile.
“Tell Meilin I’m sorry… I won’t be able to hold my great-grandchildren in my arms.”
“Father, no! Go back inside, let’s teleport away!” Tears welled up in the white heron’s eyes, but Jianming didn’t listen to her.
Run away and abandon what remained of the people of the imperial capital to certain death?
No.
About one thing, the marquis was correct. Once part of the imperial army, always part of the imperial army.
Jianming would protect the empire until his last breath, no matter what it cost him.
A long sigh escaped his lips, and then, all the demons surrounding him advanced at once again.
The old man did not feel threatened. Quite the contrary.
His eyes flashed and his body disappeared.
Those demons were powerful and immortal, yes. But in the end, they acted only like crazed, bloodthirsty beasts.
“Be glad you can see this before you die, filthy creatures!
Jianming’s saber flashed with his words, the metal whistling as it cut
through the air around him at a perfect angle, so aligned and sharp that it seemed capable of cutting through atoms and the very fabric of the universe.
And that, Jianming’s saber did.
The demons surrounding him barely reached five meters before they froze.
The movement of his blade was slow and easy to dodge, but still, none of them managed to react.
“Broken Reality Slash…” Jianming’s voice echoed, and then the world around him changed, as if split in two, a gap appearing in everyone’s vision.
The upper half of the world seemed to slide over the lower half, the gap lasting for a brief moment before the primordial laws corrected
everything.
Everything except the demons surrounding Jianming.
Their bodies exploded into a bloody mist, split into pieces, the largest of which were barely the size of a grain of sand.
Even for creatures like them, recovering from that was impossible.
Jianming smiled, feeling his body lose strength as he turned to his daughter.
That attack sucked a lot of Qi, but it had been worth it.
“FATHER!” The white heron roared, held back by her husband, who prevented her from throwing herself toward her dying father.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she watched a blade of blood tear through the air, finding Jianming’s back.
He tried to dodge, of course, but nothing was enough, a powerful Qi from the astral body realm falling upon him.
That was the only one of the demons who was at the peak of that level and who had now consumed the power of dozens of experts
from the ancient emperor realm.
Jianming turned, feeling the blade pierce through his chest, destroying his heart and flying towards the defensive arrays of the
five-color pavilion, shattering against the protective barrier.
“Don’t think I’ll die without a fight!” Jianming roared, slashing toward the demon, but he didn’t even come close to hitting it.
A new blade of blood cut through the air, and then a pained cry
echoed.
Jianming’s left hand fell to the ground, dropping along with his saber.
He tried to turn his face, tried to look into his daughter’s eyes one last time, but it was already too late.
He could already see his own body, a spray of blood dominating his vision as his head flew into the air.
“NO!” His daughter’s cry of pain and despair was the last thing he heard before darkness.
There was silence among the experts surrounding the five-colored
pavilion, all watching in shock as the demon fed on Jianming’s body, absorbing his power.
The general of the Crimson Eclipse Saber, one of the most beloved and respected experts in the enlightened sky empire, one of the pillars that kept the empire standing.
He had just died. That was a lie, right? Their eyes were deceiving them.
It was all a bad joke. Soon, they would wake up from a terrible
nightmare! right?
“What are you waiting for? DO SOMETHING!” The white heron clung to her husband’s robes, who was just as shocked as she was.
Jin Hao did not react, the bloody grip on the handle of his axe quickly
losing strength.
He remembered Qingyi’s words once again and, for the first time in a long time, felt something he thought he would never feel again.
Regret.
Jin Hao felt the terror of his wives and children inside the palace, and with a sigh, he strengthened his resolve.
The demon had finished off Jianming and now had its eyes focused on
him.
The beast studied the protective barrier for a brief moment before smiling, preparing a spear of blood with frightening power.
