Hearing Chen Feng"s words, the four Human Immortals exchanged glances. This display from Chen Feng was different from what they have heard about him. It seemed Chen Feng was doing this on purpose.
“Island Lord Chen is truly an imposing figure. If that is the case, we will leave the upcoming charge to your East Dragon Island,” Zhan Hun said smilingly.
“Not a problem. It"s settled then.” Chen Feng nodded.
“Err.” The four Human Immortals were taken aback, not certain what to say next.
“Island Lord Chen, this is a war that involves the lives of 100,000 cultivators,” Zhan Ming reminded Chen Feng.
“I say, can you fellows be any less annoying? If you want to, you fellows can take the lead.” Chen Feng grew irritated.
“Island Lord Chen, this att.i.tude of yours is inappropriate, don"t you think?” Zhan Lu, who had been silently standing aside, spoke up.
“Inappropriate? What are you fellows going to do about it, then?” Chen Feng said, standing up. With a flip of his hand, the table before him was sent flying.
“Chen Feng, we are only entertaining you as a show of respect. Do you really consider yourself to be some great personage?” Combat armours appeared over the bodies of Zhan Ming and the other three Human Immortals at the same time. Wielding a blade each, they split up to occupy four locations to surround Chen Feng. At the same time, s.p.a.ce shook as various restrictive runes began flas.h.i.+ng.
“Chen Feng, you have already entered our Immortal artifact. Do you still think you can get out?”
“Immortal artifact, eh? Don"t you fellows know that I also have Immortal artifacts?” Chen Feng said, the Heaven Piercing Lance charging out. A skyful of lance silhouettes spread out to engulf all four Human Immortals.
The moment Chen Feng attacked, five cultivators appeared within the immortal palace. These cultivators had been staying hidden all this time. With their partic.i.p.ation, the power that the Immortal artifact exerted upon Chen Feng grew even stronger. Surprisingly, all five were Earthen Immortals.
After one round, Chen Feng ended in a disadvantageous position. In fact, the power of his Immortal artifact had been suppressed to the point where it was nearly incapable of moving anymore.
“Chen Feng, just surrender! Become a puppet of our Warlord Pavilion and you can preserve your life.”
“Kid, if you want to blame someone, just blame yourself for being too arrogant!”
“You were too careless! Is this a place that you can recklessly enter?”
“Hurry up and kneel!”
Chen Feng ignored the strength of his opponents. As he continued facing them, the Heaven Piercing Lance in his hand became somewhat bent and Chen Feng"s body grew taut. It seemed as though he was already on the verge of collapsing.
Boom!
The Longevity Tower flew out and its power encased Chen Feng. Instantly, the pressure bearing down on him disappeared.
“You guys only know that I have Immortal artifacts, but you do not know how many Immortal artifacts I possess or what kind of power they have. For you fellows to be taking action like this, aren"t you being too reckless here? Besides, if you kill me, can your Warlord Pavilion defeat Profound Origin World?” Chen Feng said smilingly, brandis.h.i.+ng the Heaven Piercing Lance in his hand. As a result, the restrictive magic arrays around him exploded and the immortal palace shook.
“There is no need for you to worry about that. We naturally have a way to deal with that issue. Besides, it is precisely because you possess Immortal artifacts that we are taking action here!” Zhan Hun said.
“So, you fellows are after the Immortal artifacts on me. If so, we"ll have to see just what kind of abilities you fellows possess.”
The Longevity Tower rotated slowly above Chen Feng, stopping the power of the Immortal artifact bearing down on him. Truth be told, Chen Feng was secretly weeping. As Tower was in a state of deep slumber, he was incapable of unleas.h.i.+ng the Longevity Tower"s full power. As for this immortal palace of Warlord Pavilion, it was definitely not some ordinary Immortal artifact. Given the amount of power that the Longevity Tower could presently exert, Chen Feng would definitely be incapable of stopping them.
If it comes down to it, I will just have to resort to certain methods to prevent them from getting what they want, Chen Feng thought, the Heaven Piercing Lance flying out from his hand. It transformed into a stream of light to attack Zhan Ming.
Puchi!
Zhan Ming was pierced by the lance and his body exploded. However, his soul did not utterly dissipate away. Instead, a strand of his soul entered deep into the immortal palace. He will be able to recover his body in the future. Only, some time was needed for him to cultivate himself once again.
However, a talisman suddenly struck the Heaven Piercing Lance that Chen Feng hurled out and it fell quietly onto a certain corner. No matter how hard Chen Feng attempted to mobilize it, it was to no avail.
Is this immortal palace a mid-grade Immortal artifact? Even if it"s not, it should already be very close to that level. This Warlord Pavilion sure has quite the foundation. Chen Feng did not grow worried. With a wave of his hand, another lance appeared in his grasp.
The cultivators facing him grew secretly shocked. At the same time, they also grew delighted. It would appear that Chen Feng truly did possess several Immortal artifacts. By killing Chen Feng here, Warlord Pavilion"s strength would rise greatly. As for the upcoming battle, victory or defeat was no longer that important. Obtaining a few Immortal artifacts here was enough.
The Netherbone Lance that Chen Feng brought out flew forward to kill off Zhan Lu and Zhan Xiao, only for another talisman to suppress it in the end.
Despite losing two Immortal artifacts in a row, Chen Feng"s face remained calm. He did not appear worried at all. Instead, with a wave of his hand, the Steel Enigma Sword appeared in his hand.
Seeing that, the cultivators from Warlord Pavilion almost cried out. This Chen Feng was bringing out one Immortal artifact after another. Just who is he?
In the end, Zhan Hun was killed as well. However, Chen Feng was dissatisfied with the result. The four peak-level Human Immortals were not really dead. Their souls had managed to escape.
After that, one of the Earthen Immortals hiding in the dark was killed by Chen Feng before the Steel Enigma Sword was suppressed as well.
“This makes three Immortal artifacts.” Chen Feng sighed. The other four Earthen Immortals walked forward, looks of excitement in their eyes.
“I was thinking. If I kill the four of you, how will you deal with the cultivators from Profound Origin World?” Chen Feng hovered in the air. The rate at which the Longevity Tower was rotating had slowed down.
“We four will not die.” One of them spoke up.
“I don"t believe you.”
“There"s no helping it if you do not believe us.”
A cultivator with a nonchalant-looking face and formidable aura then appeared before Chen Feng. There was a gentle smile on his face and he looked as though he meant Chen Feng no harm.
“Ascendant Immortal. Are you by any chance the Warlord?” Chen Feng laughed.
“I am he.”
“Greetings, Patriarch Warlord!” The four Earthen Immortals knelt down respectfully.
“I thought that the Warlord would be a mighty-looking figure. Unexpectedly, he would be a frail-looking young master,” Chen Feng said smilingly. However, he was secretly putting his guard up.
“Mighty looking, eh? After saying that, the Warlord took a step forward and the aura emanating from his body swelled. The ferocious aura then a.s.sailed Chen Feng.
Instantly, Chen Feng felt s.p.a.ce turning upside-down as various terrifying images a.s.sailed his sea of wisdom.
However, a dull sound rang out from the Longevity Tower and Chen Feng"s sea of wisdom recovered. By then, however, the Warlord had already appeared before Chen Feng and a punch shot towards him.
“To be able to die to the Divine Warlord Fist that I created, you should feel honoured,” the Warlord said, his aura becoming indescribably overbearing.
“You"re just a soul imprint. Yet, you dare think about killing me? You overestimate yourself.” Chen Feng waved his hand and a violent-looking blade burning with the power of blood and malice slashed at the Warlord.
It was the Violent Bloodmalice Blade that Chen Feng had obtained from Hegemon Blade Sect, a low-grade Immortal artifact. Although Chen Feng had yet to fully refine this violent-looking blade, he had collected large quant.i.ties of the power of blood and malice from the battlefield. Thus, this sudden burst of power allowed it to stop the Warlord"s attack.
“That"s Hegemon Blade Sect"s Violent Bloodmalice Blade! How could it be in your hands?!” one of the Earthen Immortals who were standing far away shouted.
“Just a low-grade Immortal artifact. Come here!” the Warlord said. He swiftly stretched his hand and the whole immortal palace shook. It felt as though a roar was reverberating outwards, shaking one"s eardrums to the point of bursting. Next, a high amount of spiritual energy gathered up to form a ma.s.sive palm, which then grasped at Chen Feng.
“Break!”
Chen Feng unleashed a slash, which collided against the ma.s.sive palm. The power of the palm felt as deep as the ocean. And yet, it was also extremely flexible, capable of unravelling a great portion of Chen Feng"s might.
Next, waves of sticky power swirled to pull the Violent Bloodmalice Blade away from Chen Feng"s hand. Even so, the blade continued to radiate a thick power of blood and malice. Only after a talisman struck it did it fall quietly to the ground.
“Four Immortal artifacts.” The corners of Chen Feng"s lips curled into a faint smile.
The four Earthen Immortals rushed forward, each picking up one of the Immortal artifacts. They looked highly elated.
“Kid, what other items do you have? Just bring them all out,” the Warlord said with a faint smile.
“As you wish.” Chen Feng strode forward, rus.h.i.+ng straight towards the Warlord.
“You have a death wish.” The Warlord scoffed, placing his palm up to display the Warlord Palm Art.
Pa!
Light flashed out and the Warlord Palm was broken. Due to that, a look of surprise flashed across the Warlord"s face.
A black-coloured whip had appeared in Chen Feng"s hand. Rather, it looked like a vine, twisting about in Chen Feng"s grasp. With a booming sound, it then split up and elongated continuously at a rapid pace to envelop the whole s.p.a.ce. Some of the vines also lashed out at the Warlord.
“What is this?”
“The Divine Malla Vine. However, you will not know of it. Alright, then. Let"s end our play here. It"s time I leave,” Chen Feng said.
“Leave? How can you leave?” The Warlord revealed a derisive grin.
“You are just a manifestation. Besides, even if your real body came, you might not be able to keep me here.” Flames began burning across the surface of the vines.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The interior of the immortal palace descended into chaos.
Sou! Sou!
With a swing of Chen Feng"s hand, two round beads flew out. One black and one white, they were none other than the Sovereign Fire Bead and Blackwater Bead, pseudo-Immortal artifacts.
Boom!
The two beads were magic treasures with the possibility of levelling up to become genuine Immortal artifacts. At that very moment, they spun rapidly as they flew out before slamming into one another. And yet, no explosion happened as a result. Instead, they merged together before arriving in front of the Warlord, where they abruptly grew in size. Seeing that, the Warlord cried out in alarm and he swiftly attempted to run away. Following that, a sky-shaking boom rang out.
The two pseudo-Immortal artifacts had fused together before blowing themselves up. Due to that, the power it unleashed had instantly blew up the Warlord as well. As the Warlord"s figure was hurtling through the sky, it began dissipating before finally breaking down into streams of energy.
Next, Chen Feng beckoned and the Immortal artifacts in the hands of the four Earthen Immortals shook. The talismans pasted on them shone with light before breaking apart. Seeing that, the faces of the four Earthen Immortals paled. However, before they could throw the Immortal artifacts away, the power radiating out from the Immortal artifacts quaked their bodies to pieces. This time, the deaths of these four Earthen Immortals were different compared to the deaths of those before them. Previously, a strand of soul had managed to escape from each of the cultivators that Chen Feng killed. This time, however, the Warlord himself was already in a dire situation. How was he to spare the time to help these four Earthen Immortals?
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
The suppressed Immortal artifacts flew back to Chen Feng. Snickering, Chen Feng grabbed the Heaven Piercing Lance and stabbed forward to create a spatial crack. Next, the Longevity Tower wrapped up Chen Feng and transformed into a stream of light before disappearing from sight.
After that, Chen Feng"s voice echoed about. “I lost two pseudo-Immortal artifacts, but I only managed to kill a few fellows. Looks like I suffered quite the loss this time. Still, there is no need to rush this. We still have time.”
