Chapter 3577
Although Zhuowen's Soul Sword Intent didn't seriously injure Donghuang Taiyi, it at least caused some hindrance. Otherwise, Zhuowen wouldn't have been able to snatch the Great Guardian's Soul from Donghuang Taiyi so easily.
Moreover, Zhuowen could clearly see that Donghuang Taiyi's body was still very stiff at this moment. Apparently, he was still resisting his Soul Sword Intent.
However, the aura around Donghuang Taiyi suddenly erupted at that moment, dissipating into the sky, forming dazzling energy ripples as if it had gone berserk.
After a long time, the violent energy around Donghuang Taiyi gradually converged, and Donghuang Taiyi's gaze fell on Zhuowen again. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Your cultivation … isn't at the third Blight?"
At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi's heart was very unsettled.
The moment Zhuowen's Soul Sword Intent blasted into his Soul, it set off a terrifying tearing storm inside his Soul World. The terrifying Sword Intent rampaged in his Soul World, constantly destroying his Soul Power.
If it weren't for his Soul being far stronger than his cultivation, he felt that his Soul would very likely be completely destroyed by this Soul Sword Intent.
At least he knew that if an ordinary Fifth Blight cultivator was hit by this Soul Sword Intent, they would at least be seriously injured or even die.
At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi didn't dare to underestimate Zhuowen. He stared at Zhuowen, suspecting that the latter might be a Fifth Blight cultivator who hid his cultivation. Otherwise, how could he have such a powerful Soul Attack?
"What do you think?"
Zhuowen's eyes were vigilant, and he didn't answer directly.
He made up his mind that if Donghuang Taiyi continued to attack, he would use the Nine Tribulation Divine Sword to kill Donghuang Taiyi even if he had to expose the secret of the Heaven-Breaking Divine Weapon.
Although he still had two Soul Sword Intents in his Soul World.
He knew very well that Soul Attacks had to be unexpected, especially when Donghuang Taiyi's Soul Power might not be as strong as his, but it wasn't far off.
Once Donghuang Taiyi was on guard, his Divine Soul attack would not have any effect on him.
"Lord Demon Overlord, this Zhuo Wen is really too arrogant. He actually dares to act so unbridled in front of you. You must take action and kill him completely!"
The soul of the Great Protector trembled in Zhuowen's palm. He hurriedly suggested to Donghuang Taiyi to kill Zhuowen. Otherwise, the Great Protector's fate would be miserable.
"Noisy!"
Zhuowen coldly harrumphed. He clenched his right fist and crushed the Chief Enforcer's divine soul. The Chief Enforcer's divine soul let out a miserable shriek and collapsed.
No one had expected Zhuowen to not only snatch someone from Donghuang Taiyi, but also kill someone in front of Donghuang Taiyi.
How big of a heart did he have to actually dare to do such a rebellious and arrogant act?
However, what shocked everyone even more was that Donghuang Taiyi did not have a big reaction. Instead, he remained silent.
Just when everyone thought that Donghuang Taiyi would be enraged and kill Zhuowen again.
Donghuang Taiyi spoke.
"The Chief Enforcer's actions are indeed too much. Even if this fellow daoist did not do it, I would have cleaned up the sect!
However, the Chief Enforcer is an important position in my Demon Overlord Palace. Now that Sun Hongru has fallen, there must be a new successor. "
"Fellow daoist, you are my Demon Overlord Palace's Guest Enforcer, and your strength is extraordinary. You should be the new Chief Enforcer!"
Donghuang Taiyi's words had just left his mouth when the crowd was in an uproar. Everyone looked at Donghuang Taiyi in disbelief.
No one had expected that not only did Donghuang Taiyi not punish Zhuowen, he even promoted him.
The Divine Horn Enforcer below the stage was in a daze. The corner of his mouth was full of bitterness.
After the Chief Enforcer was killed by Zhuowen, his heart was filled with ecstasy. He knew that the Chief Enforcer was no longer around, and he was the most favorable candidate.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would be the only candidate for the Chief Enforcer.
But now, not only did Donghuang Taiyi not blame Zhuowen, he even made Zhuowen the new Chief Enforcer. The Divine Horn Enforcer was unwilling and helpless.
He knew that he no longer had the chance to become the new Chief Enforcer.
Among the people present, only Heng Wu and Xuan Ya saw the clues. Their point of view was completely different from the others.
Just now, Zhuo Wen and Donghuang Taiyi had only fought for a short time. It seemed like Zhuo Wen was at a disadvantage, but the two of them could clearly sense that Donghuang Taiyi might have been injured by the light sword.
Thinking of this, the two felt that it was inconceivable, but also reasonable.
If Donghuang Taiyi was unharmed, he would have suppressed Zhuowen directly to show his majesty as a Demon Overlord.
But Donghuang Taiyi did not do that. Instead, he comforted Zhuowen.
In the eyes of outsiders, this action was to forgive Zhuowen and give Zhuowen a chance. But in the eyes of Heng Wu and Xuan Ya, it was a sign that Donghuang Taiyi was afraid of Zhuowen.
"Just how strong is this Zhuowen?"
Heng Wu and Xuan Ya looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This person could make Donghuang Taiyi give in, just how strong is he? Is he also a fifth Blight powerhouse?
When everyone thought that Zhuowen would accept the position of Chief Enforcer, Zhuowen only said indifferently, "Demon Overlord, I might have to disappoint you. I'm not interested in the position of Chief Enforcer!"
"I fought with Sun Hongru to the death not because I coveted his position, but because he was too greedy!
If Chief Enforcer really needs a successor, I'll recommend him to Divine Horn Enforcer! "
"In Demon Overlord Palace, no one is more qualified than him to become Chief Enforcer!"
The moment Zhuowen refused, the people below the stage felt dizzy.
This guy was simply too pretentious. Demon Overlord personally invited him to become Chief Enforcer and he actually refused. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Donghuang Taiyi was also startled. He looked at Divine Horn Enforcer and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you. I'll let Divine Horn succeed the position of Chief Enforcer for the time being!
Also, after this banquet, come to my Demon Overlord Palace. I have something to ask you! "
"No problem!" Zhuowen did not refuse.
Donghuang Taiyi nodded and no longer paid attention to Zhuowen. He had everyone return to the square and the banquet began.
The banquet was very lively. There was no unhappy atmosphere because of Sun Hongru's death.
Many representatives stood up and congratulated Donghuang Taiyi for successfully advancing to the fifth Blight.
In addition, Zhuowen's seat was also very lively. Many representatives raised their cups and came to curry favor with Zhuowen.
In the battle just now, many people could see that Zhuowen was not simple. After all, someone who could kill the Great Elder was not an ordinary person.
Zhuo Wen, on the other hand, was sitting calmly in his seat. Anyone who came to get close to him was basically blocked by the Divine Horn Guardians.
Since Zhuowen gave up the position of Chief Enforcer to Divine Horn Enforcer, Divine Horn Enforcer was very grateful to Zhuowen and respected him like a god.
He knew that Zhuowen did not like to be disturbed, so he blocked most of the people who came to curry favor with him.
Protector Liu Yan and Sun Hong knelt not far from Zhuowen, uneasy and pale.
