Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3844: Assassination

“That’s the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales.” Jian Chen looked at the centre of the medicinal garden. Through the thick mist, he could vaguely make out a fruit gently swaying about. It was the size of a human head and gave off a rather enchanting hazy azure glow.

The thick spiritual Qi around the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales had already formed a small swirl as it was rapidly absorbed.

The Divine Fruit of Yin Gales absorbed spiritual Qi two or three times faster than other high grade God Tier fruits.

“The Divine Fruit of Yin Gales has a similar effect to the Fruit of Nurturing Ways. They both contain the laws and are precious treasures that can assist people in comprehending the laws. The greatest difference between the two is that the Fruit of Nurturing Ways is elementless, so it has a wondrous effect on all experts. All three thousand ways can be comprehended through it. Meanwhile, the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales only contains the Laws of Wind. Its effects fall slightly below the Fruit of Nurturing Ways,” Jian Chen thought. In terms of value, the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales was obviously beneath the Fruit of Nurturing Ways, but it still far surpassed many other heavenly resources.

Apart from the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales, the other several dozen God Tier heavenly resources in the medicinal garden managed by the Wind clan did not interest Jian Chen.

The difference compared to the Heavenly Sect of Linlang’s medicinal garden was far too great.

Jian Chen glanced past the protective formation around the Wind clan’s medicinal garden and gradually frowned. He could clearly sense that the Wind clan’s formation possessed even greater defensive power than the Heavenly Sect of Linlang’s formation.

Moreover, there was more than a single defensive formation. There was also a terrifying killing formation, so it was capable of both offence and defence.

“These formations have all been engraved on formation discs before being assembled together. Let alone everything else, just the value of these formation discs are extravagant. Even the main formations of many peak organisations in the Immortals’ World aren’t as powerful as the formation around the medicinal garden.”

“As a result, it’s extremely likely that this formation comes from the Mistress of Contrary Winds.”

“Don’t tell me the Mistress of Contrary Winds ordered people to plant the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales here?” Thinking up to this point, Jian Chen’s eyes lit up. He could vaguely guess that the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales was probably even more important than he had imagined to the Mistress of Contrary Winds.

Otherwise, why would there be such powerful formations here?

The value of the formations alone had far surpassed the heavenly resources planted here.

However, the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales was extremely rare in the Immortals’ World. Often, there were no sellers at all. It was not something that could be obtained through sale. The higher the quality, the rarer it was, so they could only grow it themselves.

“Sure enough, the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales has completely ripened.” The two great elders of the Wind clan smiled gently. Afterwards, the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor took out a tablet. He formed a series of seals and began activating the tablet through a secret technique, planning on entering the medicinal garden.

“Hold on. It’s best if we are careful!” the Seventh Heavenly Layer great elder called out. Alertness filled his eyes.

“You don’t have to worry. Who doesn’t know that the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales was planted here by the Mistress of Contrary Winds? Who would risk offending the Mistress of Contrary Winds just to steal a Divine Fruit of Yin Gales?” The Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor disagreed. The Divine Fruit of Yin Gales was worth a substantial amount, but who it belonged to also played a role.

“You can’t go wrong with being more careful,” said the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. He opened his hand slowly. A thumb-sized bead hovered in his hand. As he closed his hand violently, the bead shattered from the great force.

The moment the bead shattered, Laws of Wind that possessed the pressure of an Immortal Exalt expanded out, sweeping through the surroundings as a visible wave. Wherever it passed by, the space rippled as if it was trying to force out everything hidden in the surrounding space.

Jian Chen did not know if the Divine Armour of Heavenflight would be affected, but he backed away silently and hid behind a boulder several dozen kilometres away as a precaution.

When the laws that bore the pressure of an Immortal Exalt came into contact with the boulder, it did not manage to pierce it. It was blocked by the rock.

In the end, the power of laws reached several hundred kilometres away before slowly dissipating.

There was no offensive power behind it. It was merely a trick to prevent others from secretly following them.

“Looks like no one has been tailing us… Yeah, we can open the formation.” The Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor finally stopped worrying.

Shortly afterwards, they took out a tablet and formed a series of hand seals, sending imprints into the tablet. In response, the tablet lit up brightly. A resplendent streak of light emerged from the tablet, directly landing on the protective formation before them.

An entrance silently opened up in the formations capable of offence and defence. The two Immortal Emperors from the Wind clan entered directly.

The entrance immediately closed after they entered.

Jian Chen did not follow them into the formations. Instead, he silently lurked outside, carefully observing the two Immortal Emperors inside.

The two great elders did not pick any other heavenly resources. Instead, they made their way to the centre of the medicinal garden and took out a jade box, carefully picking the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales and placing it inside.

After harvesting the Divine Fruit of Yin Gales, they counted the other heavenly resources growing in the medicinal garden, recording their growth. Afterwards, they took out some tools from their Space Rings and got to work, applying fertilizer and plowing the ground, planting over two hundred heavenly resources one by one.

“When the Skyscraping World opens the next time, these heavenly resources should have all evolved,” the Eighth Heavenly Layer great elder said with a smile as he looked at the seeds they planted together.

“The Skyscraping World sure is a land of treasure. The various organisations have planted so many heavenly resources here. Just the amount of spiritual Qi consumed with each passing year is beyond imagination, yet the Skyscraping World can still maintain itself. If we can claim this entire place for ourselves, just how great would it be?” The Seventh Heavenly Layer great elder sighed in amazement.

“Isn’t that all just because the Skyscraping Sword Venerable was far too wealthy? Otherwise, where else do you think this spiritual Qi comes from? It’s all the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s personal wealth. It’s said that the resources in the Skyscraping Sword Venerable’s possession when he was still alive even left courts of heaven envious. C’mon, it’s time for us to leave. We better go and find our own fortunes during the remaining time.”

The two elders exited the protective formations through the same method. Right when the opening in the formation closed behind them, sword Qi erupted out of nowhere. A sword appeared from the empty space with blinding light, thrusting towards the eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor great elder with lightning speed.

When the sword emerged, the surrounding space seemed to change. The strike that was already alarmingly fast became even faster.

With a flash, the sharp tip of the sword arrived near the forehead of the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.

“Be careful!” the Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor beside him cried out. His face changed drastically. The eyes of the Eighth Heavenly Layer great elder under attack narrowed to the size of pin tips.

However, the attack was completely unexpected. Coupled with its speed, it was so fast that neither of them were able to respond.

Spurt!

In the next moment, the glowing sword pierced the Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor’s forehead without any obstruction with the pressure of a high quality god artifact.
