Chapter 2459: Chapter 2459: Fang Bai’s Dominance
"An Immortal is coming!"
Fang Bai and Zixu Immortal Emperor had just finished perfecting the Formation when they sensed several auras rapidly approaching.
They guessed it was disciples of Golden Crow Palace, so they exchanged a look and sank into the Concealment Formation.
Before entering the Formation, Zixu Immortal Emperor deliberately left a wisp of his aura outside the Concealment Formation to lure the Golden Crow Palace disciples into the outer Chain Killing Array.
After a dozen breaths, several streaks of flowing light flew over. It was exactly two Stewards of Golden Crow Palace, as well as Feng Nie Fairy, Chiyang Immortal King, and Liuyan Immortal King, the three Immortals.
The two Stewards of Golden Crow Palace possessed mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm Cultivation. They had just sensed Zixu Immortal Emperor’s aura and knew that the few Emperor’s Palace disciples discovered earlier by Golden Crow Palace disciples were likely in this vicinity.
"Everyone search carefully, don’t let the Emperor’s Palace disciples escape!"
Thinking that after killing a few Emperor’s Palace disciples they would have a great merit to claim upon returning, the two Stewards of Golden Crow Palace had their eyes light up, spirits surging, and shouted in a low voice.
Thus the five disciples of Golden Crow Palace summoned their Immortal Artifacts, went on high alert, Divine Sense Diffusion spreading out as they searched for traces of Emperor’s Palace disciples.
Very soon, one Steward of Golden Crow Palace followed the aura left by Zixu Immortal Emperor and arrived outside the Concealment Formation.
"Now!"
When Fang Bai saw that Steward of Golden Crow Palace step into the Chain Killing Array, he immediately activated the Formation.
In an instant, beams of light shot into the sky, and layer upon layer of enormous light shields trapped that Steward of Golden Crow Palace within.
Before that Steward of Golden Crow Palace could regain his wits, the Chain Killing Array began its assault on its own.
The other Steward of Golden Crow Palace, as well as Feng Nie Fairy, Chiyang Immortal King, and Liuyan Fairy, were all taken aback by this scene.
They wanted to rush over to help, but Fang Bai, Zixu Immortal Emperor, and his four disciples shot out from the Concealment Formation and intercepted them.
At this moment, Fang Bai had once again disguised himself. None of the five Immortals of Golden Crow Palace could recognize him.
"So you really are Remnants of Emperor’s Palace!"
The Steward of Golden Crow Palace blocked by Zixu Immortal Emperor sensed the aura of an Emperor’s Palace disciple on him, his brows slanted in fury as he bellowed, swinging the Immortal Artifact in his hand to launch an attack on Zixu Immortal Emperor.
"Dogs of Golden Crow Palace, hand over your life!"
Zixu Immortal Emperor also hated the disciples of Golden Crow Palace to the bone. Immortal Qi surged around him, battle intent blazing. He summoned his Immortal Artifact and counterattacked with all his strength.
The two mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm Experts crashed together fiercely, each casting Immortal Laws and displaying secret techniques, battling until heaven and earth dimmed and sun and moon lost their light.
As for Zixu Immortal Emperor’s four disciples, their task was to engage the eighth-grade Immortal King Realm Feng Nie Fairy. Once they appeared, they didn’t say a word, directly formed the Four Directions Infinite Formation, trapped Feng Nie Fairy inside, and engaged in a great battle.
"You two, your opponent is me!"
Seeing Chiyang Immortal King and Liuyan Fairy trying to go over and help Feng Nie Fairy, Fang Bai let out a long howl, swung the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in his hand, and filled the sky with blood-colored light, enveloping the two of them.
Chiyang Immortal King and Liuyan Fairy had no idea that this Remnant of Emperor’s Palace before them was actually their Junior Brother Wushuang. Seeing that the other party only had a sixth-grade Immortal King Realm Cultivation, they couldn’t help but look down on him, intending to join forces and quickly slaughter him, then go lend Feng Nie Fairy a helping hand.
What they hadn’t expected was that this Remnant of Emperor’s Palace possessed battle power far beyond their imagination. Relying on a single Blood Blade, he actually fought them to a standstill.
The three Immortals chased and clashed, gradually moving away from this area.
"Chiyang Immortal King, in the battle that destroyed Emperor’s Palace a thousand years ago, you took part, didn’t you?"
Fang Bai swung his blade to block an attack from Chiyang Immortal King, his gaze locked onto his face as he asked in a harsh voice.
Chiyang Immortal King hadn’t expected the other party to recognize him and said complacently, "I didn’t take part in the destruction of Emperor’s Palace itself, but in the subsequent hunt for the Remnants of Emperor’s Palace, this Immortal King did participate. Mm, counting you today, you should be the third Remnant of Emperor’s Palace this Immortal King has killed!"
Fang Bai’s pupils contracted slightly, cold light flashing in his eyes as he said grimly, "Very good."
As soon as his words fell, a surge of intense Evil Qi erupted from the blade of the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, shrouding Chiyang Immortal King.
Caught off guard, Chiyang Immortal King instantly fell into an illusion and lost himself.
Although this process lasted only a single breath, it was enough for Fang Bai to reap his life.
"Senior Brother, watch out!"
Amid Liuyan Fairy’s cry of alarm, the blood-colored blade light slashed out by Fang Bai’s Blood-Drinking Mad Blade tore through the void, slicing across Chiyang Immortal King’s neck.
"Puff..."
Blood sprayed as Chiyang Immortal King’s body was cut in two.
"Die!"
Fang Bai’s left palm struck out in the air, transforming into an Immortal Essence Big Palm that slammed down on Chiyang Immortal King’s corpse, pulping it into minced flesh so that he was dead beyond dead.
"Senior Brother!"
Although Liuyan Fairy loathed Chiyang Immortal King, they had still been fellow disciples for many years. Seeing him fall, she inevitably felt a rabbit-dies-fox-grieves sorrow. She cried out sadly, her gaze becoming even sharper as she brandished her Immortal Sword and launched a frenzied attack at Fang Bai.
With Chiyang Immortal King fallen, Fang Bai’s remaining opponent was only the seventh-grade Immortal King Realm Liuyan Fairy.
"Liuyan Fairy, look into my eyes!"
Fang Bai slashed out a heaven-shocking blade light with the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, forcing Liuyan Fairy back dozens of zhang, then shouted loudly.
Liuyan Fairy hadn’t expected the other party to call out her name. Startled for a moment, she subconsciously looked into Fang Bai’s eyes.
Fang Bai unleashed the Soul Capturing Heart Refining Technique. Once Liuyan Fairy’s gaze met his, it was as if she fell into boundless darkness, briefly losing her sense of self.
"Liuyan Fairy, I ask you: did you ever take part in the battle that destroyed Emperor’s Palace? Have you ever killed disciples of Emperor’s Palace?"
Fang Bai asked in a low, deep voice.
Liuyan Fairy’s expression was vacant, her eyes unfocused as she muttered, "No."
"Then I’ll spare your life."
Fang Bai knew that under the questioning of his Soul Capturing Heart Refining Technique, what Liuyan Fairy said must be the truth. The fierce killing intent raging in his chest slightly eased.
Although Fang Bai had always been tender toward beauties, Liuyan Fairy was, after all, a disciple of Golden Crow Palace, a life-and-death enemy of Emperor’s Palace. Therefore, while Fang Bai would not kill her, he still had to mete out some punishment.
Fang Bai’s figure flashed forward, appearing before Liuyan Fairy, and his palm gently slapped onto her body.
Liuyan Fairy was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting blood as she flew back a hundred zhang, falling into the dust and fainting away.
When she woke, she would discover that her Qi Sea had been severely damaged. Even if it could recover somewhat in the future, her Cultivation Level would forever stagnate.
Feng Nie Fairy sensed Chiyang Immortal King’s aura vanish and Liuyan Fairy’s aura grow extremely weak, and she couldn’t help but be greatly shocked and horrified.
Seeing also that the two Immortal Emperor Realm Experts who had come along with her were in dire straits—one trapped in a Formation, the other entangled by an Emperor’s Palace expert—she knew that things could not be accomplished today, and the thought of retreat sprouted in her mind.
However, she was besieged by Zixu Immortal Emperor’s four great disciples and, for the moment, could not extricate herself at all, causing her heart to grow restless and irritable.
Zixu Immortal Emperor saw his master easily dispatch two powerhouses and was first surprised, then overjoyed.
In his view, even though his master possessed a fierce ability to challenge across realms, with only a sixth-grade Immortal King Realm Cultivation, fighting two seventh-grade Immortal King Realm experts alone should have been extremely arduous.
But contrary to his expectations, his master had actually won this confrontation within just a few dozen breaths.
