Chapter 573 - 573: Attack on Cult! Mysterious Jade Bracelet
Qin Yuyue and Song Mingwu both stood together. The Bright Moon Maiden raised her hand, " Now both of you! Prove your qualification before the Nine Sky Demon Sword."
Suddenly, four people appeared from the mist, bearing a palaquin. On top of the palaquin rested a small box. It has exquisite design, made from purple glazed wood with golden carvings on it.
The pallbearer rested it on the ground and vanished in the mist in an instant.
Seeing the box, all of the cult members couldn't help but feel excited and terrified. Because all of them know what's inside the box.
The legendary Nine Sky Demon Sword, the sword that was passed down from the first Heavenly Demon. A supreme artifact that is said to be one of the most powerful weapons in the Azure Cloud Domain.
However, not every cult leader could wield the weapon. The weapon contains an immense amount of demonic energy that could corrode the souls of those who are nearby, let alone the wielder.
The moment the box opened, a bloody aura erupted from inside like a crimson tidal wave. The smell of blood and iron filled the air, plunging everyone into a state of fear and despair.
From the inside, a sword floated out. The sword was covered with talismans; only its hilt was visible. However, on the hilt was embedded a golden gemstone, giving off an alluring golden radiance.
" Let the sword choose its owner." The Bright Moon Maiden's voice echoed.
" I will go first."
Without giving Qin Yuyue the chance, Song Mingwu lunged forward. Qin Yuyue was about to protest, but she saw that the Bright Moon Maiden said nothing.
" Pfft! Hahaha! Finally! Finally!"
Song Mingwu's laughter echoed as he raised his hand to hold the sword.
" I will the Heavenly Demon!"
*BOOOM!*
The moment Song Mingwu touched the sword, it was as if he was plunged into a chaotic void. His internal energy dried in an instant as he felt the pain of exploding organs.
Blood seeped from his orifices, but Song Mingwu gritted his teeth and tapped on his chest.
Suddenly, a warm glow flashed on his chest. Song Mingwu felt like the pressure on him decreased in an instant. Consciousness returned to his eyes as he looked at the sword in his hand.
The sword's weight was impossibly heavy, it felt like he was holding a small stone slab with extreme weight. Despite his physical and internal energy, Song Mingwu felt like he could drop it at any moment.
" I DID IT! I…DID… IT!"
" QIN YUYUE! DIE!"
Suddenly, his mind snapped as he swung the sword with all his might. The atmosphere turned dark in an instant as a terrifying sword intent emerged. It was like a demonic sword made from blood and destruction materialized in the air, shooting straight at Qin Yuyue.
Qin Yuyue was stunned as when she saw the attack. She never thought Song Mingwu would dare to attack her out of nowhere, right before everyone.
The sword intent of the Nine Sky Demon Sword was immense, enough to freeze Qin Yuyue on the spot.
' MOVE! DAMN IT! MY BODY! I…I CAN'T MOVE!'
Qin Yuyue's heart filled with despair when she saw the sword intent. Suddenly, she felt a light flashing from the pendant she was wearing.
" Huh?"
Instantly, a gigantic hand emerged from above Qin Yuyue, bright and burning like a palm of molten gold. The palm spread its fingers, grasping the sword intent.
*BOOOOM*
Like a divine palm descending, the sword intent was crushed by the palm, dissipating it in air.
" INSOLENCE!"
The Bright Moon Maiden's voice echoed as the silver flames flared around her. " Song Mingwu! Put down that sword and get to your knees!"
" YO-YOU!"
Song Mingwu's eyes were crimson as he realized someone was protecting Qin Yuyue. The jealousy and anger exploded as he raised the sword again.
" I AM THE CULT LEADER! ALL OF YOU! DIE!"
*SWISHHH!*
However, unlike everyone's expectation, Song Mingwu's attack didn't arrive.
Within an instant, a blink of light appeared, and the next moment, the Nine Sky Demon Sword vanished from Song Mingwu's hand.
Song Mingwu: " Huh?"
Qin Yuyue: " Huh?"
Bright Moon Maiden: " Huh?"
Demonic martial artists: " Huh?"
All the phenomena disappeared as the sword vanished, making the sky return to normal.
" WHO DARES TO STEAL THE CELESTIAL SWORD?!"
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The moment the Bright Moon Maiden roared, pillars of light rose in four directions. The entire cult was covered with a purple dome, blocking the access of everyone to the outside world.
" Look! Isn't that Four Demon Star Guardian Formation?"
" Damn it! Which bastard is looking for trouble?!"
The Six Elders were stunned as they hurriedly scattered.
" WHO IS IT?! WHO DARES TO TOUCH OUR SACRED RELIC?!"
Suddenly, Bright Moon Maiden noticed a few dark clothed figures rushing at her. She sneered as the flames condensed before her into a silver war bow.
" Insolent fools! Pay with your lives!"
*SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!*
Arrows shot like beams of silver. However, those men didn't try to evade it at all.
Eight black clothed men jumped forward as they got hit by the silver arrows. However, as their bodies started to disintegrate, they managed to surround the Bright Moon Maiden.
" Begin!"
" Everything for Righteousness!"
Bright Moon Maiden's eyes darkened as she tried to move. But suddenly, from the corpses of the eight men, golden chains emerged, shackling the old lady.
" Damn it! What trickery is it?!" The Bright Moon Maiden cursed as the silver flames blazed around her. But the shackles didn't burn at all.
" Hoho! Bright Moon Maiden, how does this feel like?"
Suddenly, The Blood Poison Hand's expression changed when he saw an old man appearing amidst the crowd.
" Gale Sword Xiaoyuan, you dare to trespass on the sacred cult?"
" What? Is he Gale Sword Xiaoyuan? One of the Five great masters of North?"
" Haha, greet this old man too, fellow brothers."
" Nine Fist Lord, You too?"
Suddenly, the Nine Fist Lord raised his hand, " Righteous disciples! Kill these heretics!"
Within the crowd, a group of cult disciples drew their swords and started to attack their surroundings.
The Righteous Alliance has infiltrated the Sun Moon Sacred Cult!
" Disciples of Sacred Cult! Heed my words!"
With a single step, the First Elder's presence soared to the sky, as if an ancient beast awakening. His voice echoed, " Kill all the bastards who dare to sully the ground of our sacred cult."
" KILL THEM!"
" KILL THESE BASTARDS!"
" Khughh! You bastards! What kind of sorcery is this? You think I can't break free of this?" Bright Moon Maiden spoke in a cold voice as she stared straight into an empty space.
Suddenly, the space rippled as an old man walked out. His body was impossibly old, as if a skeleton was covered with a tattered human skin.
" As expected, maiden. The Mystical Moon Fire is indeed a treasure of heaven. We can only suppress it temporarily."
" Tianzhong Manor, you think you can escape from our Cult's wrath?" Bright Moon Maiden sneered, " Unhand me, you bastard. And I will keep your corpse intact."
" Yes, I know I can't really defeat you." The old man shook his head, " But I can certainly cripple the cult so you can't go out beyond the Ten Thousand Mountain range for at least five years."
" And in five years, I can perfect the means of suppressing your divine power." The old man laughed, " Thank you for the Nine Sky Demon Sword. We will use it thoroughly."

" Traitorous bastard! You opened the gates for the righteous alliance?"
" Kheughh! Bastard! To…Think…I…Hall Master…died by this bastard's…hand…"
A disciple stood beside the corpse of a hall master, half of whose body was missing.
" Haah…Hahh… I… I couldn't do…Anything meaningful in my life…" The disciple panted, " But…I could at least kill…a big bastard…"
" Still… I have…so much…regret…"
The disciple fell to the ground, lying in a pool of blood. Unknown to him, the jade bracelet in his arm started to glow.
But before anything could happen, an arm grabbed the bracelet and tore through his wrist.
" Ahaaa! Here you are!"
