Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 228: Chapter 205: The Fickle and Heartless World (Part 2)

With a dance of his hands, Chen Che sent countless flying swords weaving and intertwining. In the blink of an eye, they had formed a Sword Dragon several dozen meters long.

Tier Two Middle Grade Sword Technique:

Sword Dragon Storm!

That’s right. This was the exact Sword Technique that Hua Feng had used during the Immortal Sect competition.

”What kind of swordsmanship is this? Could it be a Tier Two High Grade Sword Skill?”

The Sword Dragon was incomparably ferocious, a Fierce Beast seemingly torn from ancient myth, violent to the extreme. The swordsmanship used by the peerless prodigy of Earth Element Star, appearing for the first time in Yunzhou, instantly made the scalps of the three Tribulation Cultivators, Tang Youliang among them, go numb.

However, they had no time to think, as the Sword Dragon would reach them in an instant.

”Go!”

In his haste, Tang Youliang waved his hand, and several talismans shot forth. The talismans burst into flame without a spark, transforming into enormous firebirds that flew to meet the Sword Dragon!

”Amitabha Buddha!”

Yu Gu pressed his palms together, and the prayer beads in his hands burst with light.

Amid the chanted name of Buddha, the light coalesced, forming the dharma image of a benevolent-looking Buddha that instantly enveloped the three of them.

Liu Jiafeng, wreathed in his green and red snakes, also waved his hand, throwing out the Four-sided Shield. Apparently, the cultivator who had bought this magical artifact from the auction had already died at their hands.

”You’ve fallen into my trap!”

Chen Che chuckled and waved his hand. The Sword Dragon unexpectedly dispersed like a stream of water, bypassing the trio’s interception in mid-air. Then, it swirled around, reformed, and changed direction, hurtling directly toward Chi Jingwei on the other side.

Chi Jingwei’s hands flipped over, revealing thirty-six Golden Needles in his palms.

He had been preparing to launch a sneak attack from behind while Chen Che was focused on the other three. He never anticipated this turn of events and was engulfed by the Sword Dragon before he could even react!

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The Sword Dragon instantly shattered his Protective True Essence and pulverized his defensive Inner Armor. Under the force of this terrifying impact, his entire body was torn to shreds on the spot, leaving not a single trace behind!

Then, its momentum unchecked, the Sword Dragon swept around the mountain. Everything in its path—countless ancient trees and massive boulders—was utterly crushed into dust.

”That kid is too cunning! No, this is bad! Meng Changtu is about to break free!”

Tang Youliang was both shocked and enraged. A sideways glance revealed that the Grand Array trapping Meng Changtu was covered in cracks like porcelain, and his face drained of all color.

”You two keep him busy! I’ll set up an array!”

With that, he waved his hand, and twenty-four small red flags shot out, transforming into streaks of Escape Light before planting themselves in the ground at twenty-four positions around the mountain’s base.

”Rise!”

With a deep shout, Tang Youliang lifted his hands as if raising something heavy. His True Essence surged, his sleeves billowed, and his white hair whipped about like crazed pythons. His hands seemed to be lifting a colossal weight as he slowly raised them into the air. The small red flags swelled dramatically in the wind, each growing to several meters in size as flames erupted from them.

”I shall vanquish this demon!”

Seeing Tang Youliang setting up the array, Yu Gu spun around in his monk’s robes and shot out a golden beam, its power so immense it seemed to shake the very space around them.

When the golden light faded, it revealed two identically shaped Demon-Slaying Pestles carved with Buddhist Sect runes. The only difference was that one was clearly a few inches shorter than the other.

’Just how many cultivators have these people robbed and killed?’

Chen Che narrowed his eyes slightly.

But on second thought, it made sense. If he hadn’t come today, even someone as strong as Meng Changtu would likely have been in grave danger against the six of them working together.

”Kill!”

Liu Jiafeng formed a seal technique, and the green and red snakes circling his body instantly swelled to over ten meters long before opening their mouths to spit.

The green snake spat green water, and the red snake spat black fire.

He had obtained these two Demon Beasts by robbing and killing an ’old friend’. Afterward, he had fed them countless Celestial and Earthly Treasures, poisonous insects, and toxic mists. Both the green water and the black fire could corrode True Essence, erode flesh and bone, and dissolve Magical Artifacts.

BANG!

Chen Che waved his hand, and the Celestial Secret Umbrella flew out, its canopy springing open.

PING! PING!

The Mother-Child Demon-Slaying Pestles, streaking like bolts of light, struck the umbrella but were both deflected.

However, when the green water and black fire splashed onto it, a sizzling sound of corrosion arose. Acrid white smoke billowed from the Celestial Secret Umbrella, and small holes even began to appear, as if it would be completely dissolved in a matter of moments.

Yet, at that very moment, the green and red snakes suddenly shrieked, their scales bristling all over their bodies.

”Something’s wrong!”

Liu Jiafeng had only just realized it, but it was already too late.

The Little Chick descended from the sky, its claws plunging down. Its sharp talons pierced the scales at the vital spot of the two snakes, and with a sudden yank, it pulled them into the air.

”Aargh!”

Liu Jiafeng sprayed a mouthful of blood.

The green and red snakes were nourished by his own blood essence; that single strike of the claws had left one dead and the other grievously wounded!

”Fellow Daoist Liu, fall back!”

”I’ll hold him off!”

Yu Gu formed a Buddha Seal with his hands. The Mother-Child Demon-Slaying Pestles circled in mid-air and shot forward once more.

At the same time, he wrapped his prayer beads around his hands, chanted a Buddhist mantra, and then suddenly yanked them apart. The forty-nine prayer beads erupted in golden light, shooting forward like a shower of meteors.

BOOM!

A tremendous roar erupted.

It was like hundreds of heavy cannons firing at once.

Or like a clap of thunder crashing down, echoing through the mountains.

Violent True Essence and turbulent air currents raged wildly, creating a stampede of power in an instant. Wherever this strong force passed, everything within sight was pulverized into dust. Amidst the swirling dust, the tattered canopy, broken ribs, and shattered frame of the umbrella came crashing apart.

”That little bastard is finally dead...”

Yu Gu sighed in relief, and Liu Jiafeng also felt a great weight lift from his shoulders.

Who could have imagined that their seamless plan would be nearly foiled by a single junior, causing such heavy losses—and this was before they even dealt with Meng Changtu. But before the stone in their hearts could truly settle, a figure, wrapped in a gust of wind, swiftly parted the cloud of dust.
