Tang San took out the third Sword Order and threw it out without any hesitation.
Ancestral Court, Sword Saint Palace.
The right hand of the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor lifted again, a strange light appearing in his eyes as he felt the thoughts coming from his token in the distance.
It was a very peculiar set of thoughts, a fluctuation of belief.
"What is a sword?" This was the question from the first Sword Order.
"A sword is justice!" This was the message from the second Sword Order.
Then, from the third Sword Order, came another thought.
The Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor was certain that this thought was not from the Peacock Demon King but rather from the young man he had once acknowledged.
"What is a sword?" For someone to dare to question him in such a way? When the first thought arrived, the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor felt somewhat amused. As the strongest swordsman of the current age, who understood the sword better than he did? But he still made his move, as the Tribal Artifact had to be reclaimed without any conditions. He had to act in order to preserve the dignity of his ancestors.
However, when he received the second message, he couldn\'t help but be profoundly shocked.
"A sword is justice?" Then what is justice? He became quite interested.
"A sword is judgment!" The third thought came through.
Upon feeling this thought, the eyes of the Sword Saint Great Demon Emperor instantly lit up. Judgment, judgment, judgment!
In that instant, it was as if he had grasped something; his right hand made a grabbing motion, and a shadow of light entered his hand in a flash, and in the next moment, he had already merged with his sword and shot out like lightning. Simultaneously, a heaven-shaking sword glow slashed through the void. This time, the attack was carried out with the Red-crowned God Sword.
A sword is justice, a sword is judgment!
This seemed to be what he had been searching for all along. So, what else was there?
What else? As he slashed with his sword, he even felt an impatient longing in his heart.
Meanwhile, in the distance, as the teleportation reoccurred, and Tang San deployed the third Sword Order,
In the void, it was as if a gargantuan Red-crowned Crane emerged out of nowhere, carrying an incomparable sharpness as it ferociously collided with the night. This time, the entire void seemed to shatter as countless sword glows burst forth, sealing off all the paths of the night\'s attacks.
Silver light flickered, and they teleported once more.
When the Peacock Demon King saw the Red-crowned Crane emerge from the void, merging with sword and body, it was shocked but also showed a glimmer of hope in its eyes.
Could it be that they truly had a chance to escape to safety? That was clearly the King of the Night faced with the all-out support of another Great Demon Emperor! Even if it was the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor, it wouldn\'t be easy to withstand the full-force assault of another Great Demon Emperor.
The reality was indeed so. When they were teleported again, appearing out of nowhere, the night did not immediately follow.
The Fourth Sword Order appeared in Tang San\'s hand, as he said to the Peacock Demon King in a grave voice, "You recover first. Prepare for a longer teleportation."
The Peacock Demon King didn\'t speak, closing his eyes to concentrate and restore the energy he had expended earlier. None of them knew how long they could withstand the full-force strike unleashed by the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor.
This time, it indeed lasted a relatively long period, a full two minutes. And when the boundless night descended again, it seemed to carry a sense of urgency and frustration.
"I really want to see how many tokens you have," the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor said, filled with rage. In its mind, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor had gone mad. Even if the other party had tokens, one use was logical, but to continuously keep using them, with the third time being with all his might, was bewildering. It had never heard of any relationship between the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor and the Peacock Demon Clan.
However, Sword Orders were limited, merely those acquired from the competition. The true body of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor wasn\'t here, and long-distance strikes required a medium too—Emperors weren\'t omnipotent. Thus, as long as the Sword Orders were used up, Tang San and his companions would still undoubtedly face death.
Then it saw the Fourth Sword Order that Tang San threw out.
A fluctuation of mind emitted from Tang San as he sent a spiritual message along with the Sword Order.
The imposing figure of the Red-crowned Crane appeared once again, this time even clearer than before, it seemed.
Seeing this, the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor\'s expression dramatically changed, for from the increasingly distinct figure of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, it could sense that the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor was indeed rushing in this direction.
Trailing across the void like a stream of light, a tranquil voice vibrated through the heart of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor, "Sword Breaks All Laws!"
Sword Breaks All Laws?
This was precisely what the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor had always pursued and strived for. Simple words, yet they struck at the core of its being. At that moment, the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor even felt an unbearable itching in its heart, wishing it could immediately sit down with the young man to discuss the true essence of the sword.
The silver glow shone once more, and teleportation activated again. Taking advantage of the brief respite earlier, the Peacock Demon King teleported Tang San and Pretty Girl even farther away, and with the full power of the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor\'s distance strike, it was bound to delay the Dark Demon Great Demon Emperor for a longer time.
But, Pretty Girl and the Peacock Demon King both knew that the Sword Orders were exhausted. Once night fell again, they would no longer have any chance to escape. Therefore, their expressions were very grim at this time. Even if the Peacock Demon King could manage to teleport once more in a split second, it wouldn\'t get them very far, with the shadow relentlessly following, ready to catch up at any moment.
"We can only fight now," the Peacock Demon King said, as the Peacock Golden Crown gradually emerged on its forehead.
Tang San turned to the Peacock Demon King, his lips buzzing as if he was saying something, but Pretty Girl was surprised to discover that she didn\'t hear any sound coming from his mouth. However, she saw that in his hand, Tang San had brought forth yet another Sword Order, indeed, the fifth one—it was unmistakably the Fifth Sword Order!
Why was there a fifth one?
This was the Sword Order Tang San had obtained when he was recognized by the Sword Saint Big Demon Emperor after his climb in the Sword Saint Palace. The other four were from becoming one of the top four in the individual competition and then the champion with Pretty Girl.
So during the competition, he and Pretty Girl had actually obtained two each, and this fifth one was something he had acquired previously. A total of five Sword Orders.
Even though this could very well be the last one, seeing this Sword Order gave Pretty Girl a slightly relieved feeling. Even if it only delayed their fate for a short while, it still meant they could live a little bit longer.
At that moment, the Peacock Demon King wore a somewhat strange expression, as if it had something to say but hesitated, looking at Tang San with a bit of indecision.
Tang San, with a calm gaze, nodded at it, and then, to Pretty Girl\'s shock, he approached her and opened his arms, embracing her.
Because it was so sudden, Pretty Girl hadn\'t yet reacted when Tang San had already held her in his arms.
His body had a pleasant scent, fresh and elegant. Despite facing a life-or-death situation, Pretty Girl found her heart inexplicably calm at that moment.
"You must be safe," Tang San\'s voice sounded in her ear.
