Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator



The Xuantian sect disciples pressed forward, taking advantage of the chaos that had enveloped the devil army. The battlefield was a scene of slaughter and violence. Devils, once organized and united, now became hesitant and scattered. The ground was littered with the bodies of both Soldiers and devils as the clash between the devil army and the imperial army was continued.

"Puchi!", a Xuantian sect disciple managed to stab the chest of a devil while defending his group from the harassment of the devils. Who knew, the devil whose chest was stabbed, managed to muster up a terrifying attack before dying. The devil swung it's schimitar and managed to behead the Xuantian sect disciple before dying. The Xuantian sect disciple who was still in a battle ready posture, walked forward a little with his headless body before falling on the dusty ground.

"Shi!", few members of Zhan Chen's group took in cold breath as they watched the gruesome scene infront of them. The last attack of the devil was too terrifying which resulted in mutual destruction.

Blood flew everywhere as the battle raged on. The imperial army was mighty but the devils were no easy pushover. They erupted with terrifying strength after being cornered by the imperial army.

·ƈθm Xuantian sect disciples who were sneaking out amidst the choatic battle, bear the brunt of berseking devils. These devils were very few in number but they showed their bersek strength in such helpless situation. Xuantian sect disciples were brave but they paled infront of the ferocious and bloodthirsty nature of the cornered devils. The path ahead was ardous and full of danger as the Xuantian sect disciples tried to leave the battlefield.

"Be cautious! Don't stray from the group!" Zhan Chen commanded as a serious expression appeared on his face. He could easily wade through the battlefield but it was not so easy for his group members. As the leader of his group, it was his duty to ensure the safety of his companions.

"Zhen Yuan, I am assigning you the rear. Act cautiously and fend off any attack that comes in our way", Zhan Chen looked towards a plain looking youth. Except him, this plain looking youth was the most powerful among his group members.

"Yin Ran, Hui Ling, both of you are Martial ascension realm cultivators. It will be a pity if we don't use your strength properly", Zhan Chen spoke. He was not planning to expose both Hui Ling and Yin Ran to danger but the situation ahead of him forced his hand.

Zhan Chen knew, he alone wouldn't be sufficient to protect his group if some unseen problems arsoe. The group he was leading was a huge group. Thus, it needed proper coordination and strategy to succeed as a group. Zhan Chen was a imperial prince in his past life. So, leading and organising few person was the least he could do.

"Senior brother, please tell us what to do. We will be happy to help out", Yin Ran and Hui Ling spoke. Both of them were quite enthusiastic to share some burden on Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen assigned them to protect the sides while he and Zhen Yuan would guard the front and rear respectively. He did few more tweaks in his group combination before approaching the core area where the battle was most intense.

"Look, it is another group of humans", a devil alerted his companions. They were fighting with a group of Xuantian sect disciples when Zhan Chen's group approached them.

"Ga..Ga..Ga, another group of human kids. It will be nice to sample their meat", suddenly a jarring laughter came out. A hulking figure landed suddenly infront of Zhan Chen's group.

There was a malicious aura around the hulking devil. Few Xuantian sect disciple felt weak in their knees when the devil looked towards them. 

"I choose you", the hulking devil looked towards a young girl who was standing next to Hui Ling. He brought out his scarlet tongue and took a lick of his own lips while looking towards the girl.

"Save...!", the girl felt unprecedented fear when the devil looked towards her. She could see countless souls leaping across the body of the hulking devil. These souls all were screaming and howling as they tried to struggle free from the hulking devil.

The girl felt her mind would collapse if the devil looked at her any longer. She felt despair as she slowly list control of her body and mind.

"Ga.ga..ga. That is the way. Be a good girl and obediently come over. I promise this old man will properly savour your meat after killing you", the devil spoke maliciously. He was not even looking at other members in the group as he focused his eyes on the girl.

"Enough! Is bullying the weak fun?", suddenly a cold voice interrupted the hulking devil. The hulking devil felt surprised for a moment because his soul technique was broke as soon the word came.

He shifted his eyes and looked towards the source of the words. It was Zhan Chen who was looking at him with an expressionless face.

"Brat, what if I bully the weak? Do you think you can stop this old man", the hulking devil narrowed his eyes. He focused her sinister eyes on Zhan Chen as a black light appeared in his eyes.

"What a strange brat!", the hulking devil murmured after examining Zhan Chen. He couldn't make out the cultivation of Zhan Chen no matter how much he tried to probe him.

"You have successfully piqued my interest", the devil spoke as a glint appeared on his face.

"Everyone, surround this group. Kill everyone except my prey. I will personally collect my prey after dealing with this brat", the devil spoke.

"We obey command Jun. Let's kill these human scums", the devils behind the hulking devil shouted. Zhan Chen frowned slightly and took out a sword from his spatial ring. The nearby devils around his group forced him to wield his sword.

"Attack", the hulking devil spoke coldly. His subordinates rained down attacks from all the side while he threw a palm strike towards Zhan Chen.

"Mountain breaking slash", Zhan Chen spoke slowly. He was late to launch his sword strike but his attack immediately slashed appart the essence energy palm infront of him.

An unparalleled sword aura came out from his body as he looked towards the hulking devil. The hulking devil felt some fear when Zhan Chen looked towards him. Zhan Chen retracted his sword aura as soon as he unleashed it.

"Brat, you are indeed strange. It is better to remove you first before dealing with other human scums", the hulking devil shouted.

He was just preparing to attack Zhan Chen when a dazzling light blinded him for a moment. "Illuminating the sky", a voice came amidst the dazzling light. Even Zhan Chen's own group members got blinded for a moment before getting their vision back.

"How is this possible?", the hulking devil cried out. Countless holes were pierced through his body, the moment he got blinded by the dazzling light. His life force flew away rapidly. 

"Thud!", finally a resounding sound was heard as the hulking devil crashed to the ground. There was no sign of life on his body as he lie on the battlefield.

"Commander Jun!", the devils felt horrified after seeing their commander dying like this. The hulking devil, commander Jun had a deep cultivation. He was almost unrivalled below Heavenly tribulation realm. Due to certain complications, he had never tried to step into the Heavenly tribulation realm. His accumulation was so vast that even early Heavenly tribulation realm warriors feared him. Yet today, a tender young man slayed this formidable commander Jun with one single strike. Devils felt their heart pounding in fear when they looked towards the indifferent expression of Zhan Chen. They decided to flee despite how courageous and tyrannical they were.
