Chapter 838: And Then She Died?
“Hahaha, tens of thousands of years ago, the G.o.ds of the Western Continent might have been beaten to death by you, but as long as they are not stupid enough, it is not difficult to judge that you guys are just strong in appearance but weak in reality. To deal with us, a group of lower realm b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you guys even have to pay a heavy price, based on what reason those G.o.ds of Western Continent are afraid of you? A mere Golden King is just a defeated dog from the Western Continent, yet in Nine Regions, he often beats you guys silly. What qualification do you guys have to be confident that you can resist the Pantheon that has already swallowed up the Western Continent?”
Faced with Senior Immortal Xiaoyao’s eloquence, w.a.n.g Lu unceremoniously refuted it. His tone was calm and unhurried, and he naturally had a strong persuasive power.
Of course, this was all just an act. w.a.n.g Lu didn’t care whether the Immortal World could directly face off against the Pantheon. He just took this opportunity to cooperate with Xiaoyao to delay time.
Although he didn’t understand why Xiaoyao stood on the opposite side of the Immortal World, he had no qualms in utilizing it.
Xiaoyao was also satisfied with w.a.n.g Lu’s knowledge. He laughed and said, “w.a.n.g Lu, you are really ignorant and narrow-minded! The Immortal World has indeed shed blood in the Nine Regions, and our ineffective subordinates have indeed added humiliation to the Immortal World. However, the strength of the Immortal World is not determined by us, a group of laborers, but by His Majesty the Immortal King. As long as His Majesty is still here, the Immortal World will always be the first among the ten thousand worlds. If you think of having everything going in your way, then you would be very disappointed.”
However, something seemed off with this sentence that they saw Xia Yu, the Immortal King who was silent on the side, suddenly turn his gaze and looked down. The location of Spirit Sword Mountain seemed to move.
w.a.n.g Lu immediately sneered, “The Immortal King? Do you mean this trash that can’t even kill me even after trying it four times?”
As a result, before he could finish his sentence, w.a.n.g Lu’s entire body was shocked into minced meat.
“Hah! You know you can’t kill me, yet you still want to do this useless thing. This kind of pure emotional behavior will only make people think less of you. The Immortal King? What a joke.”
Boom!
This time, w.a.n.g Lu’s whole body was ignited by a fire from within his body, which turned into a raging fireball and then exploded. However, in the embers of the flame, w.a.n.g Lu appeared again like a phoenix.
“Xiaoyao, I feel a bit sorry for you now. Working under such waste must have given you a lot of grievances, right? Later on, when we have the chance, I’ll buy you a drink and you can talk to me about it.”
Xiaoyao, of course, did not dare to answer the question. Instead, he just pretended to be annoyed, “You bring about your own destruction!’
Then, golden light from Xiaoyao slammed right toward his face. However, w.a.n.g Lu casually blocked it with a gray metal plate and said, “Hah! Even the old one can’t kill me, are you eager to try it too? What kind of spirit is this? Do you want to prove that you’re better than your father?”
“Nonsense!”
Xiaoyao seemed as if he was raging with anger as he launched countless immortal spells, which looked like a storm. Most of them were quite different from his elegant temperament. They were full of evil thoughts and malice. Basically, they were curse spells.
However, such a statement suited the Immortal King well. Xia Yu seemed to enjoy the loyalty shown by Xiaoyao this time. Thus, he did not intervene and just let the two of them fight fiercely.
Of course, w.a.n.g Lu’s strength at this time was far less than that of the Immortal King. But, he had the strength of peak level Senior Immortal, which was only slightly inferior to Xiaoyao, the illegitimate son of the Immortal King—and in this way, Xiaoyao was not sure whether w.a.n.g Lu deliberately showed weakness or not.
However, it didn’t matter what the truth was. The important thing was that, by turning the verbal battle into a physical fight, the game of delaying time could be prolonged for a while.
Of course, even if the Immortal King Xia Yu was slow, he would eventually find something unusual. As w.a.n.g Lu’s energy acc.u.mulation process was approaching completion, the dangerous aura exuded from the Nine Regions under his feet was becoming more and more obvious. That dangerous aura couldn’t help but be felt by Senior Immortal Xiaoyao as it swayed his Immortal Heart. He thought that he must stay farther away before the eruption. He didn’t dare to say whether the Immortal King Xia Yu would be injured or not by this move, but he would definitely be seriously injured.
——
At the same time, everyone around and in the Spirit Sword Mountain was waiting anxiously.
“What is His Majesty waiting for?”
Senior Immortal Fengyun was the most impatient. At this time, he still knelt down on the ground. However, although his body remained still, his complexion became more and more agitated. His eyes turned red, and a ma.s.s of killing intent was brewing.
At this time, on the frontline of the battlefield, a high and mighty Senior Immortal actually knelt down under the gaze of countless creatures of the lower realm. This humiliation was really infuriating.
“His Majesty will not be fooled by Xiaoyao again, right? Every time Xiaoyao comes forward, His Majesty will do something…”
“Fengyun, watch your tongue!” Senior Immortal Qingliu interrupted unceremoniously, “Do you want to taste the Immortal Prison?”
Senior Immortal Fengyun’s aura suddenly softened a lot as he replied, “I just feel strange. Why can’t His Majesty wait for us to finish this battle? Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have already been driven into a corner, and this is just the last step.”
Senior Immortal Qingliu was silent for a moment and then said, “That’s why we have no reason to be anxious. In any case, even if we give them time, they still have no chance to turn the situation around.”
“That’s how it’s said…”
In the middle of their conversation, they suddenly saw that, not far away, the face of Senior Immortal Liefeng had changed. He turned his head somewhat inconceivably and looked at the vast area outside Spirit Sword Mountain.
“W-what the h.e.l.l is this…”
The next moment, Senior Immortal Liefeng stood up and flew straight to the sky, turning into a rainbow light. The other Immortals that knelt to the ground were surprised. Before the Immortal King said ‘you may rise,’ who would dare to get up and fly so boldly? Even if Senior Immortal Liefeng was a veteran and rich in experience, but… the veterans that were killed by the Immortal King were not few.
At the moment when Liefeng stood up, the two people fighting in the ninth sky also noticed him. In the fierce battle, Xiaoyao and w.a.n.g Lu looked at each other, and their inexplicable tacit understanding made them react correctly in time.
“Elder Liefeng, there’s no need to rush out at this time to show loyalty. In this fight, I alone am enough!”
As he said that, Senior Immortal Xiaoyao laughed loudly and the invisible sound wave wrapped in the tangible golden light spread out one after another. At the same time, w.a.n.g Lu also showed as if he was in strained circ.u.mstances and this was unbearable to him. It was as if his weakness had been discovered and someone took advantage to attack it.
Senior Immortal Liefeng was, of course, puzzled. He said, “Xiaoyao, you’re talking nonsense… What the h.e.l.l!”
Before he could finish his words, Xiaoyao’s large scale sonic attack spread to him. If it was not for his amazing reaction, perhaps he would be slightly injured. However, the soundwave kept on going, which blocked him halfway. Thus, he could not approach the Immortal King.
As for speaking loudly, or speaking through primordial spirit… the soundwave was so powerful, how could his voice pa.s.s through? As he sensed that the hidden crisis in the ground under his feet was getting close, Senior Immortal Liefeng became extremely anxious.
However, in the eyes of the Immortal King, such a gesture had a different meaning. Xia Yu seemed to see a fool who, relying on his seniority, wanted to blindly s.n.a.t.c.h the credit from the junior while disregarding the etiquette of the Immortal World. Thus, he glared at him and unceremoniously knocked him down from the sky.
The Immortal King Xia Yu was merciful, but Senior Immortal Liefeng still felt a sense burning in his internals. Moreover, he fell down uncontrollably and hit the ground like a meteor, which caused dust and mud to rise to the air for hundreds of meters. This was a very tragic sight.
After they saw the lesson learned by Liefeng, the other Immortals, who were vaguely aware of the abnormality, were also silent and did not dare to make any rash move.
Fortunately, Spirit Sword Sect did not take advantage of the situation to attack them, otherwise… With the panic in the hearts of these Immortals, when they were attacked, perhaps they really would not dare to rashly fight back.
After all, the strength of the cultivators of the lower realm was limited. And now that they were beaten and injured, even if they attacked fiercely, at most, the Immortals would only be slightly injured. However, once they offended the Immortal King, the consequence would be unthinkable.
——
At this time, the people in Spirit Sword Mountain were not idle.
“What on earth does w.a.n.g Lu want to do?”
Lu Li paced back and forth repeatedly inside the bamboo room. And the fear in his heart grew more and more.
Feng Yin was silent, but judging from his locked eyebrows, he was obviously restless. However, the awkward atmosphere inside the bamboo room did not last long.
“Senior Brother, is w.a.n.g Lu back?”
Fang He panted heavily and stepped into the bamboo room. Before the person came, his eager roar already arrived ahead of him.
Feng Yin and Lu Li were so startled they almost jumped up. They quickly blasted Fang He with immobilization spells. All of a sudden, the three Elders could not move.
“Senior Brother? What is this?”
However, just as they settled Fang He, they heard Hua Yun’s voice come from afar and then arrived near them, “Senior Brother, I heard that w.a.n.g Lu is back? Why don’t you tell us?”
Then, even people from other sects rushed toward them. The Red-robed Elder asked in a hurry, “Where is w.a.n.g Lu? What should we do now? He must have a way!”
Feng Yin and Lu Li looked at each other, and then released Fang He from their immobilization spell.
“Senior Brother, who told you that w.a.n.g Lu came back?”
Fang He was obviously puzzled, but he answered honestly, “I heard it from Bai s.h.i.+xuan.”
“Bai s.h.i.+xuan? How could she know?”
“She said that she smelled w.a.n.g Lu’s scent.”
“Um…” Feng Yin and Lu Li were stunned. w.a.n.g Lu’s supernatural method of hiding his track had exceeded their understanding. Even Feng Yin, with his Stellar Divine Eyes, couldn’t even spot w.a.n.g Lu before he appeared. What was more amazing was that although w.a.n.g Lu was standing in front of him at that time, if he closed his eyes, he could not feel his presence at all.
w.a.n.g Lu obviously had another rare encounter in the debris of the two-worlds pa.s.sage, which caused his strength to advance by leaps and bounds. But despite all this, he could not hide himself from Bai s.h.i.+xuan? Was her sense of smell that keen?
Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to investigate when Bai s.h.i.+xuan became this formidable, the news of w.a.n.g Lu’s return had spread on the Spirit Sword Mountain, so obviously, the Immortals also knew about it.
——
“Huh? The people on Spirit Sword Mountain just said that w.a.n.g Lu is back? Could it be that the person who is fighting up there is him? That’s impossible! How did he get back? d.a.m.n it, I’m afraid to look up, so I can’t be sure!”
“It doesn’t matter, I have w.a.n.g Lu’s blood here so I can lock his position. Huh? Why are there so many w.a.n.g Lus? Each of them seems real, and most of them are located in different parts of Nine Regions!”
“Wait a minute. Send me his locations. If we connect these dots into a line…The h.e.l.l! He wants to use the Nine Regions to form an array! No, we must notify His Majesty the Immortal King immediately, at once!”
Of course, with the eyes and ears of the Immortal King, there was no need for the notification from the people below. Their conversation naturally entered his ears.
It turned out there were many w.a.n.g Lus, and most of them were distributed in different locations on the Nine Regions, facilitating a huge array across the Nine Regions…
What w.a.n.g Lu wanted to do was clear.
At this time, a bit of clarity returned to the Immortal King. He then dropped his terrifying right palm, wanting to smash it against the Spirit Sword Mountain below him.
w.a.n.g Lu’s huge array had scattered nodes, but there was only one core, and there could only be one.
w.a.n.g Lu’s expression changed during his fight against Xiaoyao.
At this time, his preparation had not been completed yet, and the most critical blow could not be launched. If the Immortal King broke the Spirit Sword Mountain with his palm, then everything would be stopped! But now, he was completely powerless to stop the attack from the Immortal King.
Fortunately, he was not alone now.
“w.a.n.g Wu!”
“Hahaha, here I come!”
In an instant, before the palm of the Immortal King fell to the ground, a woman in white suddenly appeared in mid-air. The emerald green bamboo sword that she held in her hand was pointed straight to the sky and collided head-on with the giant palm!
