Chapter 2509: Chapter 2509: Execution
"You...you..."
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor looked at the expressionless puppet corpse before him and then at Fang Bai, who wore a mocking smile. His teeth chattered, his voice trembled, and despair filled his heart.
This disciple from the Emperor’s Palace, who possessed a Dual Attribute Innate Spiritual Root, carried three powerful Immortal Artifacts: a cauldron, a bow, and a blade, and his combat strength could already surpass his own.
Even more unexpected was that the opponent could control such a powerful puppet corpse.
He couldn’t imagine how this disciple from the Emperor’s Palace with only Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm Cultivation had subdued the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor and made him into a puppet corpse.
"It seems you two are old acquaintances! So now, it’s time for you to have a fight!"
Seeing the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor’s face turn ashen and him shaking, Fang Bai couldn’t help but laugh coldly.
As soon as he spoke, the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor swung the Immortal Artifact in his hand, slashing toward the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor.
"Chaos Heaven Immortal Friend, don’t attack..."
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor instinctively shouted to halt him.
But immediately, he realized the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor before him was already a puppet corpse controlled by the Emperor’s Palace disciple, and could no longer hear his words.
"Buzz!"
A hundred-foot-long fierce blade light cut through the void, roaring as it fell.
The puppet corpse with Immortal Emperor Realm high-rank Cultivation Level attacked with full force; how could the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor withstand it?
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor quickly retreated while tossing an iron fan into the void, instantly enlarging it dozens of times, in an attempt to block the falling blade light.
"Boom!"
Two Immortal Artifacts collided, causing an earth-shattering sound.
The blade light slashed by the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor fell upon the iron fan that the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor had summoned, instantly creating a deep crack tens of feet long.
"No!"
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor shouted, spitting blood again, his complexion turning pale.
The Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor remained expressionless, swinging his blade once more.
This time, the slash was faster, fiercer, and more ruthless.
"I’ll fight you to the death!"
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor knew that if he didn’t enhance his combat strength, he would be in grave danger under the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor’s ensuing attack. He gritted his teeth, his eyes gleamed fiercely, and he roared.
Blood flooded his pupils, his aura surged explosively, and in an instant, he tapped into his potential, boosting his combat strength by thirty percent.
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor understood that after tapping into his potential, this state could only last for several dozen breaths at most. If he couldn’t block the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor’s strike and kill Fang Bai, his death would be imminent.
Then, as his combat strength soared, he maneuvered the airborne iron fan to block the descending blade light while aggressively advancing, raising his fist toward Fang Bai.
Even if it meant sacrificing the iron fan, he was determined to kill Fang Bai.
As soon as Fang Bai died, the powerful puppet corpse of the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor would effectively become useless and pose no further threat.
"Clang!"
A sharp, piercing sound of metal clashing echoed, and the iron fan of the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor was sliced in half by a blow from the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor, crashing to the ground.
At the same time, the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor’s fist was less than ten feet away from Fang Bai.
At such close range, despite the destruction of the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor’s iron fan and the damage he sustained, it didn’t affect the power of his punch.
"I am heavily injured; don’t think you’ll fare any better!"
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor was confident, believing that his full-force punch after tapping into his potential would definitely put Fang Bai to death.
He foresaw himself being gravely injured while Fang Bai would perish, the outcome he expected.
"It’s a pity that the iron fan bestowed by Master is destroyed—it’s a significant loss. But the Immortal Artifacts on that Emperor’s Palace disciple are enough to compensate for that loss!"
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor pondered to himself.
Even though he won this confrontation by tapping into his potential, which was neither honorable nor dignified, who would know once he eliminated this Emperor’s Palace disciple?
Just before his fist hit Fang Bai, the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor was already lost in a dream.
His fearsome punch, unleashed after tapping into his potential, drew power close to that of an Immortal Emperor Realm high-rank expert, and the force locked Fang Bai firmly with no escape or evasion possible.
Fang Bai regarded the incoming fist of the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor, sensing the immense power within, his lips twitched slightly, and he again showed a mocking smile.
As his thoughts moved, the Five Elements Space Ring flickered once more.
Another silhouette appeared out of nowhere, standing before him.
The figure was another puppet corpse, the Nvlei Immortal Emperor, with equal strength to the Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor, captured and refined by Fang Bai in the Nine Nether Thunder Sea.
The Nvlei Immortal Emperor, a true high-rank Immortal Emperor Realm expert, faced the incoming fist of the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor, extending a single palm and firmly intercepting the punch. His attire fluttered slightly, yet his figure remained unmoved.
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor’s fist, on which he pinned all his hopes, failed to harm Fang Bai in the slightest and ended in failure.
"Ah...no..."
The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor widened his eyes at the Nvlei Immortal Emperor who suddenly appeared, his facial expression changed drastically, shouting furiously, and spraying blood repeatedly.
"I already told you, I have plenty of ways to kill you!"
As Fang Bai spoke, he moved his thoughts again; the previously summoned Chaos Heaven Immortal Emperor advanced swiftly and appeared before the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor, locking him with oppressive force before slashing mightily.
"Thud..."
A slight explosion sounded as the blade light cleaved from the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor’s head, splitting his body in two, causing flesh and blood to erupt and scatter in all directions.
The speed of this slash was so fast that it didn’t even leave the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor any chance to self-detonate.
"That iron fan, if reforged, can still be used. I’ll give it to Wumei with the Innate Wind Spirit Root in the future."
Fang Bai extended his hand, grabbing and retrieving the iron fan sliced into two pieces, which landed in his hand, and casually tossed it into the Five Elements Space Ring.
"The Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor was one of the beloved disciples of the Flying Swan Immortal Emperor and a key object of cultivation for their Flying Swan Palace. I’m sure there’s plenty of cultivation resources in his Space Immortal Ring, right?"
Fang Bai reached out toward the direction of the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor’s demise again, and a Space Immortal Ring fell into his palm.
"As expected..."
Fang Bai broke the seal and formation locks on the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor’s Space Immortal Ring, his Divine Sense penetrated inside for a look, and he smiled satisfactorily.
"This place isn’t safe to linger! Otherwise, there will be big trouble!"
Fang Bai quickly set up the scene, erasing all traces related to himself, leaving behind a few traces of Red Lotus Palace disciples’ aura, and then swiftly flew back to the Demon-Slaying Immortal City.
As he flew for ten thousand miles, the battlefield with the Wind Eagle Immortal Emperor began to ripple violently in a space ten feet square.
Then the rippling space was torn apart, and a tall, thin immortal wearing a gray robe appeared on the battlefield with the gust of wind that blew.
"The one who killed my disciple Wind Eagle was actually some Red Lotus Palace disciples? Humph, I will go ask the Red Lotus Immortal Emperor to clarify this matter. If no explanation is given, I will not rest!"
After observing the scene for a while and releasing Divine Sense to probe ten thousand miles around, the gray-robed immortal roughly confirmed the identity of the culprit, his eyes burning with anger and hate growing.
He let out a long howl skyward, tore the void again, and turned to plunge into it, leaving the scene to soon return to tranquillity.
