Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Grandma Ming, what do you think?", a bewitching lady asked the old woman standing next to her. Both of them were observing a large mirror which was displaying the battle between the Xuantian sect and the devil army.

Currently, their eyes were focused on the battle between Zhan Chen and the noble devil, Bai Wuchang. They saw how Zhan Chen used a magnificent sword technique and defeated a group of devil warriors on his own.

"This brat is very difficult to handle. I thought, I have already seen his limit in the Grand sect competitions but it seems like, my assumptions are wrong", the old woman spoke. There was a frown on her face as she looked towards the mirror infront of her.

"Our relationship with the Zhan clan is complex. Zhan clan ancestors had helped our Xie family in the past. So, currently out family is in a dilema whether to make an enemy of Zhan clan or not", the bewitching lady spoke. She had a curious expression on her face as she watched the visage of Zhan Chen with interest in her eyes.

"Past gratitude is a different matter but this brat is an imminent threat. We have to think whether we can tame him or not. If not, we must remove him before he grows up to be an enemy of the imperial family", the old woman spoke. Her face was cold and her tone was biting as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Grandma Ming, relax. Zhan Chen is not a threat yet. We must focus our attention on the Xuantian sect now.

Our plan to weaken them a little, already failed. They have successfully resisted the devils. It would be unwise, if we ignore them any further", the bewitching lady spoke.

---------------

The battle was still tilted in the favour of the devils even after Zhan Chen stepped in. There were total seven young devils who had come from the noble families of the Abhorst empire.

Bai Wuchang got killed but other six devils from the noble families were wrecking havoc in the battlefield. All of their abilities were enigmatic which gave them an edge over other Martial ascension realm experts.

Among the six, three of them were almost unstoppable. They were Yan Luo, Nu Chongyi and the most powerful, Gong Qianshou. They continued to devastate the Xuantian sect cultivators even after Bai Wuchang got killed.

Gong Qianshou waved his bulky hands and threw off the Martial ascension realm cultivators with whom he was fighting. A glint appeared on his face as he charged towards the group of Zhan Chen.

"Boom! Boom", his footsteps were heavy as he left behind footmarks on his way towards Zhan Chen. Lan Yueyue felt worried as she instinctively came forward to protect Zhan Chen.

"Yueyue, fall back. I don't want you to get injured while I fight with this devil", Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen and saw a completely calm expression on his face. "Can you handle this monster?", she asked with a worried expression.

"Don't worry. Even if I can't defeat it, defending myself should not be a problem. Move away unless you want both of us to be hurt" Zhan Chen spoke. Lan Yueyue nodded her head and she fell back despite the worry in her heart. Zhan Chen commanded his group to fall back as he stood on his place to face the devil.

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ Gong Qianshou was neither first not slow. He charged towards Zhan Chen in an imposing manner. A courageous Martial ascension realm expert from the Xuantian sect tried to stop the devil but he was slapped away by Gong Qianshou.

He was quite a distance away from Zhan Chen but he covered the distance and looked towards Zhan Chen imposingly. "Human brat, it is a surprise that you have managed to kill Bai Wuchang. He is not the most promising in the Bai clan but he is one of their best", Gong Qianshou spoke.

"What is your point?", Zhan Chen looked towards Gong Qianshou with a frown on his face.

"Nothing, I just want you to pay the price. Let me show you what it meant to fight someone from my Gong clan", Gong Qianshou spoke.

He took out large stone mace from his spatial ring and held it tightly. Muscles on his shoulder bulged as he swung it towards Zhan Chen. It was as if a small storm appeared. The force in air was so great that it blew a strong wind towards Zhan Chen's group.

Zhan Chen used the Cloud stepping technique and moved away from his position. There was a look of surprise on his face as he saw the power in Gong Qianshou 's arms.

Gong Qianshou shifted his body and threw another attack towards Zhan Chen. Thus time, his attack was more forceful as the gravel and sand particles flew upward along with his attack.

Zhan Chen didn't move away this time. He stomped the ground with his leg and jumped upward. He clenched his sword tightly and swung towards the base of Gong Qianshou 's mace.

Gong Qianshou caught off-guard as his attack was slightly deflected. Zhan Chen used an ingenious sword technique to fend off his attack. He was planning to launch another attack when a voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Devils, enough playing around. I hope, you have prepared a Trump Card to face us. I am going to crush your younglings. So, let me see what have you got."

Facial expression on all devil generals' faces changed immediately after they heard the words from the sky. "Noble clan scions, fall back", lord Tianzun roared. He himself shot into the sky and went towards Yan Luo. Other devil general also took action and tried to bring back the remaining six noble devils.

An ordinary looking devil general appeared next to Gong Qianshou. No one knew how did he move so fast but he took only few moments to appear behind Gong Qianshou. He held Gong Qianshou with his hands and flew into the sky but that was when the attack from the Xuantian sect came.

An enormous hand materialized above the devil general who was holding Gong Qianshou with him. "Oh shit, a Law glimpse realm expert", the devil general cursed under his breath.

The enormous hand clenched it's fist before the devil general could do anything. A mad look appeared on the devil general's face as he saw the hand closing around him.

The next moment, two black beams, shot out from the enormous hand. Two large sized holes appeared on the hand and the hand started to crack apart. The devil general had a look of relief as he made his escape with Gong Qianshou.

He was moving in a maddening speed but this was not enough to shake off the hand. A similar large sized hand appeared out of thin air and swatted the devil general along with Gong Qianshou. 

The hand seemed to move slowly but the impact was devastating. The devil general and Gong Qianshou crashed on the ground after getting hit by the enormous hand. The hand didn't like to wait as it immediately attacked the place where the devil general and Gong Qianshou crashed.

A terrifying force generated as the huge hand came crashing towards the ground. It collided with countless devil soldiers and finally fell on the ground.

There was a complete silence in the entire battle field. No matter which side it was whether the devils or the cultivators from the Xuantian sect, all fell silent after seeing such a devastating attack.

The environment was initially dusty but the dust gradually settled down. There was a palm shaped hole on the rocky group. The hole was almost six feet deep and palm shaped. There was nothing left except the meat pest of devils who had fallen.
