The Sword Demon and Eternal Demon remain in the villa. Since the Earth Demon is volunteering to participate in suppressing the riot outside, the two demonic elders are taking it easy.
However, suddenly, space folds start fluctuating in front of them,
With the two demonic elders' superior senses, they were able to detect this. And their first reaction is to be ready for combat. The Sword Demon draws her sword from the sheathe revealing a bone white sword with a bloody stench and thick killing intent. Meanwhile, the Eternal Demon summons a fan under his sleeves similarly ready for combat.
Two figures appear from the spatial folds. It was Nee Chen and Xiang Ya. Without hesitation, the two eat their Dantain Destruction Pills.
[Temporarily Allowing Access to all Warrior Skills!]
[Temporarily Allowing Access to all Healer Skills!]
[Temporary class promotion is now available!]
The Eternal Demon summons his qi and calls forth the energy of the world at the tip of his fan. With a single wave, a gigantic tornado comes rolling from his fan.
Nee Chen frowns at the overwhelming power, but he calmly receives it with a parry.
"Three Star Warrior Skill— Art of Parry***…"
His proficiency in this skill is so high it cannot compare to its previous state as a newly acquired skill. He parries the wind and gales and has it bounce back at the two demonic elders.
The Eternal Demon didn't expect this unnatural phenomenon. Summoning the elements of the world are also unnatural, but more so is parrying the wind. He snaps his hand and unsummons the tornado.
The Sword Demon's battle intent is rousing at the impressive martial art. "I want it!" With a single step, she arrives at Nee Chen's flank, but Nee Chen is simply… unbeatable.
Nee Chen is only using the Art of Parry against the Sword Demon. Though there are some strikes that pass through his defenses, they are not fatal enough. In a timely manner, Xiang Ya's healing spell lands on him
Xiang Ya comments. "Hey, dear Chen… I think we can take it easy on them. We should take our time to scan the class promotions available."
Nee Chen just hums softly.
Seeing this interaction with their opponents, the Sword Demon and Eternal Demon cannot help but feel insulted. The Sword Demon flickers and rushes from Xiang Ya's flank.
Xiang Ya nastily smiles at the Sword Demon. She swipes her hand and summons the strings of fate as some kind of binding force.
"Five Star Healer Skill— Binds of Fate*****~"
The Sword Demon feels chills on her spine as she hears the voice behind her.
"Five Star Warrior Skill— Aura Blade*****…"
From the corner of the Sword Demon's eyes, she sees the sharp glint of a sword about to behead her and end this at once. She tries to raise her sword to Nee Chen's Aura Blade*****, but she has the inkling suspicion that it will be futile as Nee Chen's arms seem to be faster than hers.
Fortunately for her, the Eternal Demon has fast reflexes. Forcing the fate binding her out of the path, he chants "Release!" while at the same time grabbing the Sword Demon through the space folds to avoid the pincer ambush from the two experts.
Suddenly, the Sword Demon disappears from where she stands and suddenly appears beside the Eternal Demon.
Nee Chen calmly assesses the Warrior Skills as a whole. "Looks like 5-star skills are quite few, but after class promotion, there would be more 5-star skills to choose from." He says while he eyes the description of the classes in front of him.
His eyes land on the Paladin Class, and then he ignores it. He has no plans of becoming a Paladin.
Xiang Ya also sees the Paladin Class in her system interface. "Hey, I have the Paladin class here. I thought it will come from the Warrior Class. Chen, do you have a class already you picked?"
"Nah, I am still deliberating…"
The Eternal Demon cannot take the insult more, but he cannot really say anything to them. The two in front of them have incredibly strong synergy. It is as if they have been fighting together since their past life, which is ridiculous.
"Eternal Demon, do you have a method to separate the two of them? I have very strong martial arts, however, it would cause me to lose control." The Sword Demon addresses the Eternal Demon.
"I will try my best." The Eternal Demon solemnly says.
With consecutive hand signs, and all sorts of talismans floating in the air, the Eternal Demon creates an irresistible teleportation array to teleport him and the woman cultivator.
But before he ends this, he asks the two human experts just to satiate his curiosity. "Tell me you two, how are you so strong?"
Xiang Ya smugly answers. "It is obviously because of the power of love."
Nee Chen cringes at Xiang Ya's words but offers no argument as he never wins against Xiang Ya with words, to begin with.
The Eternal Demon madly cackles. "Then say goodbye to each other! Because this will be the last time you will ever be together!" Unleashing his qi, the Eternal Demon and Xiang Ya vanish into the villa.
Only the Sword Demon and Nee Chen remain. Between the two of them, there is no need to exchange words, only swords.
The Sword Demon flickers out of sight and out of mind. Mental power confuses Nee Chen as he literally forgets for a microsecond that he is fighting. This is a peerless assassination technique.
A clean strike connects to Nee Chen's side causing his dominant arm to go limp. Nee Chen crashes down to the villa causing dust and debris to scatter.
The Sword Demon snorts in disappointment. "Did you put your guard down? Looks like I don't even need to use my full demonic form against you."
Nee Chen just silently stands and wields the sword with his non-dominant left arm. He takes a stance challenging the Sword Demon.
The Sword Demon mercilessly assaults Nee Chen with overwhelming momentum. She comes at him like a storm, but for some reason, Nee Chen was able to defend and save himself every time the Sword Demon almost gets to him.
Finally.
Ping!
[You had an epiphany!]
[Your 'Three Star Warrior Skill— Art of Parry' upgrades to one more star!]
This is what Nee Chen has been waiting for. But against his considerations, there are still more. Nee Chan has been rewarded for his risky behavior.
[You are comprehending a new original skill— the Four Star Warrior Skill— Sixth Sense!]
"You asked me if I put my guard down. I didn't. I let you hit me." Now that Nee Chen is able to accomplish his goals, he should stop playing anymore.
The truth is Nee Chen already had a Class Promotion in mind.
[Temporary Class Promotion to Swordmaster!]
[Temporary Allowing Access to all Swordmaster Skills!]
It is a no-brainer. For Nee Chen, he doesn't really need to deliberate.
"Five Star Warrior Skill— Aura Blade."
"Five Star Swordmaster Skill— Sword Phenomena."
"Five Star Swordmaster Skill— Sanctification of Steel."
"Five Star Swordmaster Skill— Great Dao Sword."
…
Meanwhile, on grassy plains far from the base of Bones Devouring Sect, the Eternal Demon is laughing madly as he corners the little girl that he believes she is.
The instant they arrive on this grassy plains, the Eternal Demon summons a bunch of undead skeletons with pitch-black bones. Each skeleton's power is equivalent to the 6th stage. There are even a few elite skeletons with 7th-stage strength. As expected of a demonic elder from the Bones Devouring Sect.
"Ha ha ha ha ha~ Beg for mercy, little girl! I might decide to spare you! You don't have your knight in shining armor anymore! I will teach you that even in the 8th stage, there would be great differences in strengths!"
The Eternal Demon is expecting Xiang Ya to be on her knees and begging for her life, but contrary to his expectations, Xiang Ya did the opposite.
She joins the Eternal Demon laughing.
"Ke ke ke ke ke ke~ I have to thank you, little pig…"
Gradually, the Eternal Demon's laughter dies down, only leaving Xiang Ya's laughter echoing in the grassy plains. Did this woman suddenly go crazy? An ominous premonition rises in the Eternal Demon's mind.
"Kaka kaka kaka kaka~ I don't like my dear to see me like this, but hey, I am enjoying it." Xiang Ya curls up due to too much laughter, her eyes are a little bit bleary, but there is this… pure happiness in her.
With a thought, she confirms her temporary Class Promotion. There is this class she has been eyeing for some time but is hesitant to pick because of how 'disgusting' it is just by its descriptions alone.
