The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390: Surely You Can’t Beat a True Immortal?

”Junior Uncle, take care on your way!”

Sage Tate escorted Carson Flores and the others away for some distance before finally stopping and bidding Carson a solemn farewell.

Although the Full Moon Illusionary Realm had been fully explored, as a secluded land of resources, it was still not bad, and he still needed to stay to deal with some affairs.

Sage Tate was concerned that someone might harm Carson, so he chose a different route and personally escorted them for a day before turning back.

The Lightning Eagle flew for five days but was stopped by a group of people.

As soon as this group appeared, they immediately blocked all directions from which the three Lightning Eagles could potentially escape, with an overwhelming aura, forcing the Lightning Eagles to land directly.

The leader waved his hand and a string of Array Flags flew out, landing on the ground and instantly transforming into pillars as tall as the heavens. Each Array Flag emitted intense fluctuations, connecting to form a barrier, sealing off this piece of the sky and earth.

”Haha, there’s no big fish, but there are a few hundred small ones. It may not be a windfall today, but at least we won’t return empty-handed...”

The leading man let out a hoarse laugh, wild and unrestrained, and the people around him joined in with loud laughter.

This group of men were dressed in black robes, each marked with a lion’s head symbol, and all wore masks, obscuring their faces.

”Little ones, hand over your Space Rings. As long as you’re cooperative, we can spare your lives. Don’t worry, we’re only after the wealth, your lives are of no use to us.”

Robbers?

All White Crane Disciples showed a look of terror on their faces; the man in front did not conceal his engulfing aura, which was so terrifying that it made it hard for everyone to breathe.

Ashley Reid spoke in a low, uneasy voice, ”Ancestor Uncle, this person is very strong, at least of the True Immortal Realm...”

Carson Flores said softly, ”Don’t panic.”

Carson Flores, hovering in mid-air, clasped his hands together, ”We are disciples of the White Crane Immortal Sect. May I ask which heroes you are? Could you possibly spare us, allowing us to pass? I shall offer a generous gift in gratitude.”

The leading man laughed heartily, ”What? In this situation, you still want to bargain with us?”

Carson Flores smiled and said, ”When traveling outside, it is better to resolve conflicts than create enemies. Having more friends opens more paths. If it can be settled peacefully, there’s no need for violence, right?”

The leading man laughed loudly, ”You seem to misunderstand the situation. Do you think you’re in any position to negotiate with us? If we kill you, won’t all your possessions be ours anyway?”

Carson Flores replied with a smile, ”That’s not necessarily true. I’d rather be a shattered jade than an intact tile. Since I’m going to die anyway, why should I leave these things to you? I might as well blow them up and end everything right now; we all go our separate ways?”

The leading man sneered, ”Oh, you’ve got quite the sharp tongue. Let me weigh you up first, see just how strong you are, daring to be so audacious. Let’s see if you have the courage to ’go our separate ways’...”

Carson Flores spoke calmly, ”Although your strength is great, I cannot simply sit still and wait for death...”

The leading man burst into laughter, ”Alright, young man, show us whatever tricks you’ve got.”

Carson Flores turned to Ashley Reid, ”Protect them. Hang in there a bit.”

Hang in there a bit?

Ashley Reid looked puzzled. What did that mean?

With such a group, where all are Immortals and the leader at least of the True Immortal Realm, what more is there to hold on to?

Could you possibly defeat a True Immortal?

Even if your Abnormal Phenomenon has reached the second stage, the Golden Body Manifestation, and could contend with an Earth Immortal, a True Immortal is not something an Earth Immortal can compare to.

The difference between heaven and earth!

A True Immortal can extinguish an Earth Immortal in a flick of a finger!

Above the realm of Immortals, the gap between each realm is an insurmountable chasm.

Yet Carson did not explain.

These people dressed like a Bandit Group, but Carson did not quite believe that they really were one.

What are the odds!

A True Immortal is considered a formidable expert throughout the Thunder Immortal Realm. Aren’t the ones who came to keep order in the Full Moon Illusionary Realm from the Great Sects all Peak True Immortals?

Would such powerful individuals stoop to robbery on the road? And to target someone like him who clearly isn’t some wealthy magnate?

It defies reason!

Carson’s instincts told him that this group was probably not robbers, but rather targeted him and his companions. They could be strong practitioners from one of the many sects that participated in the exploration of the Full Moon Illusionary Realm. They must have found some way to track him and his party, laying in wait to kill and loot in one fell swoop!

Since the other party had deployed a True Immortal, it was clear that the Eight-Armed Arhat alone wouldn’t stand a chance against them. The only solution now was the three Sword Qi.

How strong was the three Sword Qi given by Senior Lee?

Carson did not know.

He said it could help him block three calamities. Presumably, a situation like this would count as one of them.

He hadn’t expected to have to use it so soon.

Golden Light suddenly burst forth from Carson’s body, and the shadow of the Eight-Armed Arhat appeared instantaneously behind him, quickly solidifying from illusion into a mighty Golden Body Arhat towering over a thousand meters tall.

The leader with the mask looked at the Eight-Armed Arhat behind Carson, and with a tone of surprise mixed with mockery, exclaimed, ”Yo, we thought we caught a small fish, but didn’t expect it to be a young shark. Born with an Innate Taoist Body and possessing an Abnormal Phenomenon. In that case, you must not be allowed to live...”
