Demon Lord’s Reincarnation

Ren’s blood was boiling from excitement as the pressure Ma Jun was releasing had increased. Ren could actually feel his hands becoming numb from the power of the falling blade. Fang Mu and the others were stunned into silence as they watched Ren blocking a full-powered strike from a True Monarch Realm expert with nothing but his flesh.

Even Ma Jun was surprised as he saw that even with the increased output Ren was still able to hold on. Seeing his full-powered strike being stopped coupled with Ren’s smiling face, Ma Jun felt a chill run down his spine. At this very moment, he was actually feeling afraid. Ma Jun quickly discarded those distracting thoughts and strengthened his avatar fully intent on cutting down the frightening monster before him.

Feeling the pressure increasing at an incredible rate, Ren laughed harder than before as his body screamed n pain. Even now as he was on the verge of being sliced by the Avatar’s sword Ren did not use any spiritual energy. No longer able to hold on, Ren tried to redirect the blade.

The blade of Ma Jun’s Avatar was finally able to slice down on Ren. As the blade went down everyone saw that Ren was able to slightly divert the strike somehow that it was only able to slice his right shoulder and lopped off his whole arm. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

As Ren’s arm flew off, blood started spraying everywhere. Yet despite what had just happened Ren continued to smile that vicious smile of his.

“HAHAHAHA!!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!”

As he shouted those words of joy, the hole that was made because of his right arm which was detached from his body suddenly closed.

Ren then extended his left hand forward and something within his shadow roared. It was the roar of a powerful beast whose species has always stood at the apex, it was the roar of a dragon. Followed by that roar a gigantic sword came out of Ren’s shadow, it was a sword that was taller than its wielder. The aura the sword was emanating was so fierce, that the people who stared at it started hallucinating, as they saw the shadow of an enormous Dragon beside Ren.

“This is my Beloved Sword Snertal, created from the bones of an Ancient Dragon. It may not be the strongest weapon I have at my disposal, but it is the most powerful sword that I have. Since you showed me your most powerful move, I would’ve wanted to reply in kind… But unfortunately, with your current strength using my strongest move will not just kill you but it would probably annihilate not only your body and your soul, but even your entire sect would turn to dust… Well, since you got me this excited, and you were actually able to wound me, as a thank you allow me to show you a glimpse of my current power.”

Ma Jun wanted to respond to Ren’s arrogant words but he was unable to do so. The last attack he did had cost him a great amount of his Qi, and he was running low. At the moment he was only barely able to stand much less rebuke Ren.

‘If it was just that I wouldn’t be like this, it’s because of that sword of his.’ Ma Jun looked at Ren’s sword which emanated such an oppressive aura.

‘The bones of Dragon was it…’ Ma Jun gritted his teeth as he knew that his death was coming. He felt extremely frustrated as he was unable to protect the honor of his sect, and he would be defeated without being able to do anything.

‘Even with the power of the Sword Array, I was unable to win. How truly disappointing.’ As Ma Jun was slowly accepting his imminent demise, he felt a massive amount of Qi being poured into him. Ma Jun was stunned as he felt his body becoming lighter and his Qi was fully restored. He then looked at the person who had given him this Qi.

“Why?”

Ma Jun was so confused as he spoke those words. The enemy he was facing, the enemy he had tried to kill, the enemy whose arm he cut was actually helping him.

“How can you properly experience my thank you present if you could barely stand? Now that your spiritual energy has been restored you should be able to appreciate my thanks for giving me such a fun battle.”

When Ma Jun heard Ren’s answer he was dumbfounded, it was not only him but everyone else who had a similar expression to Ma Jun. Even Ren’s disciple Fang Mu could not believe what his teacher just said. It would seem that even now he had underestimated his teacher’s thirst for battle.

“Alright then, here I come!”

Ren suddenly appeared beside Ma Jun and had his sword was already near Ma Jun’s body. Ma Jun barely blocked Ren’s blade with his own. When the two blades clashed Ren’s sword Snertal roared sending Ma Jun flying to the side.

As Ma Jun tried to stop his body from flying, Ren suddenly appeared behind him. Ma Jun quickly placed his sword at his back and it met with Ren’s blade pushing him to the side. As Ma Jun was once again sent flying, Ren once again intercepted him and tried to hit him, to which Ma Jun once again responded by blocking the attack. The same scene kept on repeating itself as Ma Jun had no time to do anything else but block. It was like Ren was playing tennis with himself and Ma Jun was ball.

Ma Jun then summoned his avatar the giant swordsman to counterattack. Seeing this Ren shouted in excitement.

“SNERTAL ROAR!” Ren’s sword roared ferociously as she slashed at Ma Jun’s avatar. The Avatar that was able to seriously injure Ren was sliced in half and dispersed. Ma Jun was about to summon it again, but he then noticed that he could not do so.

As Ma Jun was confused as to what was happening he looked around and finally noticed what happened. The people who were supporting the Sword Array had fallen unconscious as they overexerted their Qi. This was to be expected as the Sword Array was meant to be used by people who were at least in the Nascent Soul Realm, on the other hand, these disciples were only at the Golden Core Realm.

Ma Jun had miscalculated as he thought he would be able to deal with Ren swiftly after he gained the power of a True Monarch. He never imagined that Ren was such a monster, that even with his cultivation raised to the True Monarch Realm he would still lose.

“…So that was it… Well, I guess you have my thanks for playing with me a bit.”

Ren sighed as he placed Snertal back into his shadow. Ren then turned around his back now facing Ma Jun as he walked away. He picked up his arm that was lopped off and pressed it onto his shoulder reattaching it. Once his arm was in place he took his disciple and left. As he was leaving no one dared to stop him.

As Ren was about to descend the stairs of the Dajiao Sect he looked in a certain direction and spoke to something unseen. Fang Mu looked in the direction Ren was looking at, and saw no one.

“Teacher, who are you talking to?” Fang Mu curiously asked. Ren who was done speaking to the unknown being looked at his disciple and responded.

“A relative.”
