The Destiny of the Demon Sword
Emperor's Decree

The Emperor then looked back at everyone with a clear and confident look. The tension felt by everyone began to subside on its own.

“Create a contest to all the inhabitants of the God Realm. Whoever can kill the Demon Lord, then I will hand over the throne of the Sky Palace empire,” the Emperor said so fieryly.

The gods and generals were astonished to hear it. Not long after, the commotion again occurred in the main room of the Sky palace. However, this time the Celestial Emperor did not rebuke him. A general who had previously spoken raised his hand. He asked permission to file an interruption. The Celestial Emperor who saw it instantly signaled to everyone to stop the commotion.

“Say, General!” pinta Emperor.

“Sorry, Your Grace. Is His Majesty sure to give up the imperial throne and no longer be emperor?” ask the General.

The Celestial Emperor smiled knotily in response. He then walked back and forth in front of the throne with both hands clenched behind his back. Shortly after, he halted his steps and returned to staring at everyone with his cold gaze.

“Even if exchanged for my life I will do to keep the god realm from destruction ... What is the meaning of power if you cannot keep it,” said the Emperor continued with a smile that expands from his lips.

Some of the gods frowned not understanding why the Celestial Emperor was so willing to sacrifice his power only for a demon who was not necessarily as great as many people heralded. Even so, they still followed the Emperor's orders and among them did not want to miss the chance of becoming the next emperor. 

Meanwhile in the darkest room of the sky palace, Bai Niu had just regained her senses from her stupor. He then scanned the area around him.  His face looked gloomy with clasped eyebrows.

"Damn it! They made multi-layered shields," Bai Niu complained.

He then tries to communicate with the orange through the soul. But he continues to fail. Upset at being unable to do anything, Bai Niu meditated to calm herself down.

In the position of the whereabouts of Orange and Qianmei now, the two were still speeding flying above the clouds looking for a populated area to stop by. 

“Kak, God's realm why is it so vast?” tanya Qianmei grew tired of being above the clouds.

“I don't know, but soon we'll land at the end of the forest there. There is a city big enough that we can stop by,” replied Orange while sticking out the index finger towards the forest boundary below.

“Betulkah? But what about our demonic aura? Is that not going to lure them to fight with us?” 

Orange turned his head, he then scanned the forest area below.

“There are five young men who are hunting animals. We can hide the demonic aura by making two of them as hosts.”

“Good, Brother. Hopefully one of them is a girl.”

“Yes, you're lucky. There was one girl with all four men. Let's get down!”

WOUZZ!

Orange and Qianmei instantly slid down rapidly. The two landed on a large tree that was quite lush.

“Kak, why don't we go straight to them?” qianmei asked in astonishment. 

Orange shook slowly. 

“Look carefully his fifth appearance? They look like the sons of nobles. Their cultivation is also very low,” said Jingga continues to pay attention to all five.

Qianmei chuckled softly as she lowered her face. Orange glanced at him with a look of wonder. 

“Why?’ ask Orange to know.

“I'm ashamed, Brother. I'm a former princess of the kingdom can't tell the difference,” replied Qianmei who continued by turning her face away from the gaze of Orange.

“The five brothers, we cannot make two of them as hosts,” said Jingga.

“We are demons, Brother. Why be good to them?” qianmei timpal.

Orange paused for a moment, he pondered over Qianmei's words which were indeed true. His heart refused to kill two young men. But he has to do it.

“Ya already, at least there are still three people alive.” The orange then jumped from the top of the tree with Qianmei.

WOUZZ!

Just a few spears both of them jumped, Orange immediately pulled Qianmei's hand and returned to the top of the tree.

“What's up, Brother?” tanya wonder Qianmei.

“There are dozens of cultivators leading here. We'd better see what happens.” The orange instantly put up a demon shield to hide itself.

Moments later, more than twenty people riding on spinning horses surrounded the five youths. The atmosphere of the forest changed quickly to tense. The birds in the trees stopped singing, and the originally gentle breeze turned into rustling with an unspoken threat. The five young men stared at each other with eyes full of tension, ready to defend themselves or launch an attack. Things were different from the twenty-plus men surrounding the youths. They look happy to get a quarry to be used as a medium of exchange with various treasures and resources.

“What a fortune for us to find you. Now choose! Dead or be our prisoner?” said a pock-faced man threatening him while sticking a sword towards the five youths in front of him.

The faces of the five noble youths turned pale, they were surprised at the arrival of the robbers who used to kidnap the sons of nobles to be used as a medium of exchange. However, he did not want to give up just like that. They respond to the threat of robbers by pulling the sword from its sheath. 

“You think it will be easy to catch us? Stupid!” said one of the tallest men mocking the men who threatened.

“Ha-ha-ha. I am pleased with your courage. This means you chose to die,” timpal the pockmarked man.

The five young men did not seem to flinch at the threat of the robber. They prepared to face the robbers who encircled them from every direction.

Seconds after seconds felt like hours as tension grew between the five youths. The young men's breaths began to pant, and the steps of the horse drew closer. Suddenly, a battle cry broke out among the trees, breaking the silence of the forest with violence. 

TRANGS! TRANGS!

Sparks of flames from the impact of the sword blade filled the air, and the shrill screeches from the continuously rotating horses added a gripping rumble in the middle of the forest. Scene after scene of five young men fighting over twenty robbers makes for a life and death battle within the wilderness. The sky itself seemed to be holding its breath, witnessing the fate decision that would determine the fate of the five youths. Despite being in a low cultivation realm, the five youths could provide a capable resistance from the brutal attacks of the robbers. 

“You guys are so much fun!” a masked man continued to swing his sword towards one of the young men.

“Cih! Get off your horse, face me with a man!” the young man challenged him.

“Ah, okay. I will serve with all my heart. Ha-ha-ha,” chimps the man and jumps off the horse's back.

The fight is getting tense, the five young men began to be cornered by the attacks of the robbers. Life and death danced in this fight, and tension reached its peak as the sound of sword incisions and ringing in pain filled the air. Amidst the dim forest, the five youths and robbers continued to fight tirelessly.

“Kak, the robber imitated the words that Brother always said. Isn't this a crime in the word work?” qianmei said insinuatingly.

“Ha-ha-ha. You're right, Memimu. I must send him to hell to account for his actions,” reply Orange.

As dusk slowly approached the forest, only the sound of the roar of breath and the clattering of steps could be heard among the rumbling of the battle. In the tension that pervades the souls of the youth, this fight becomes a symbol of the fortitude and courage of the youth, where their destiny depends on the outcome yet to be revealed.

In a gripping silence, the wilderness bears silent witness to the tireless struggles of the youth. However, strong determination without being accompanied by high abilities is not enough to overcome the robbers who have high abilities and a dominating number. They also eventually experienced a deadlock and fatigue that increasingly tightly enveloped the body. 

The wounds that filled the body became a clear proof of the flaws they had. In the despair that engulfed the five noble youths, Jingga and Qianmei appeared in the middle of the battle, carrying a ray of hope amidst the darkness that enveloped the hearts of the youths. The two figures came emitting an unfathomable force, sending out waves of demonic energy that engulfed the robbers with its mighty power.
