Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3847: Facing an Immortal Exalt

Gradually, he moved away from the medicinal garden of the Wind clan and completely lowered his guard.

But at this moment, the cloaked old man’s vigilance spiked. A tremendous sense of danger filled his mind, making his heart contract violently.

A sword extended out from the empty space behind his head. All of its glow was completely concealed, giving off no presence at all. It was like a venomous snake hidden in the darkness, darting out silently with lightning speed.

“Oh no!” The cloaked old man’s face changed drastically, but the sword was far too fast. Coupled with how suddenly everything had occurred, without any prior signs at all, the tip of the sword had already reached his black cloak by the time he reacted.

The black cloak was no ordinary item, as it was a medium quality god artifact. It possessed a certain amount of defensive power.

When the sword made contact with the black cloak, it halted, momentarily blocked by the black cloak.

However, that only lasted for a split second. In the next moment, the black cloak was pierced by the sword. Afterwards, the sword continued on towards the cloaked old man’s head.

However, the cloak had bought the old man some precious time. A blinding ball of light rushed up as a set of god artifact scale armour completely covered every inch of the old man.

Ding! The sword struck the scale armour and produced a crisp sound. A terrifying storm of energy swept out as the scattered sword Qi sliced all of the surrounding vegetation to bits.

In an instant, a clearing opened up in this overgrown landscape.

The cloaked old man staggered forward by a few steps before quickly turning around. His elderly face hidden under the great big cloak immediately darkened.

“Yang Yutian, it’s actually you? How dare you hide in the shadows and ambush me.” The cloaked old man ground his teeth as if he had never imagined that a mere mid Immortal Emperor would be audacious enough to try and assassinate him.

In particular, the sense of danger Jian Chen gave him for that split second was not something an Immortal Emperor could achieve.

In front of the cloaked old man, Jian Chen was clad in the Divine Armour of Heavenflight, floating there silently. He gripped the high quality god artifact, the Heaven-lifting sword, firmly in his hand, with all of its pressure and presence concealed.

“You truly are a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Even under these circumstances, I failed to injure you,” Jian Chen looked at the cloaked old man and said extremely calmly.

However, when the cloaked old man heard that, it sounded particularly jarring. It felt extremely insulting.

With the strength of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, it should have been impossible to harm a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt in perfect condition, no matter what was tried. Even approaching one should have been impossible.

Yet, his medium quality god artifact cloak had actually been pierced by Jian Chen. If it were not for the split second bought by the cloak, he struggled to imagine the outcome.

“I had already stopped looking down on you since you were able to kill the two Immortal Emperors of the Wind clan, but I never imagined that your strength would still far exceed my expectations,” the cloaked old man said hoarsely. His eyes under the cloak were fixed on the Divine Armour of Heavenflight on Jian Chen. He was secretly excited inside as he said, “The reason why you are able to hide your presence and traces perfectly is because of this god artifact armour, right?”

“I never thought that as only a mid Immortal Emperor, you would possess two high quality god artifacts. What surprises me even more is that just wielding a single high quality god artifact is already very arduous for some Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperors, yet you can power two high quality god artifacts at the same time. You can even unleash extraordinary power.”

“I’ve even begun to wonder whether you’re an Immortal Emperor or an Immortal Exalt.”

Before he had even finished talking, the cloaked old man suddenly struck out. As his pressure as a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt erupted, he appeared in front of Jian Chen instantly. He surged with energy as his hand darted out, slamming down from above with great pressure towards Jian Chen’s head.

At the same time, he formed seals with his left hand. Countless complicated seals were produced. He completed the entire sequence in an instant before he pointed at the space beside him.

With that gesture, the space within several dozen kilometres instantly seized up like it had been frozen.

This was not the Laws of Space but a secret technique, relying on his powerful cultivation to forcefully freeze this space.

It did not restrict Jian Chen’s movements completely. It only restrained his ability to completely hide in this region of space.

Whether it was attacking Jian Chen or freezing this space, he completed it all in a split second. His movements were so fast that they could not be reacted to.

“Hehehe, Yang Yutian, I’d like to see how you escape from me this time.” The cloaked old man secretly beamed with joy. His eyes hidden within the black cloak constantly studied Jian Chen’s Divine Armour of Heavenflight, burning with greed.

It was as if to him, Jian Chen was already a sitting duck, completely at his whim.

At this moment, a blinding streak of light erupted. Jian Chen wielded the Heaven-lifting sword as Chaotic Force flowed into it endlessly, thrusting out with his full strength that collided with the cloaked old man’s hand.

Boom!

The two collided, immediately producing a great boom. A powerful storm of energy swept out, forming a terrifying whirlwind that slammed against the rock in the surroundings.

Jian Chen grunted and staggered backwards. He turned slightly pale. Even the Heaven-lifting Sword in his hand dimmed.

Although he had almost injured the cloaked old man through his ambush earlier, there was still an insurmountable difference with his current strength compared to a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt in direct battle.

The cloaked old man saw how he repelled Jian Chen in a single strike, but he still became surprised as well. “That was only a casual strike of mine, but the power behind that attack was enough to heavily injure any Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt. Yang Yutian, there aren’t a lot of people in the entire Immortals’ World who can achieve what you’ve done with the strength of a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.”

“However, what you cultivate seems to be the Chaotic Body…”

When he mentioned the Chaotic Body, the cloaked old man seemed to think of something. His voice changed slightly as he murmured softly, “Immortal Emperor… Chaotic Body… the Laws of the Sword…”

The cloaked old man gradually began to laugh. “Yang Yutian, I think I know who you are already. In recent years, the Immortal Feather sect of the twelve courts of heaven issued a bounty for an Immortal Emperor to the entire Immortals’ World. Your various characteristics match the Immortal Emperor that the Immortal Feather sect wants perfectly.”

“That’s right, I am the person that the Immortal Feather sect wants. But so what if you know? You won’t survive and spread this news.” Jian Chen sneered.

“You’re a mere Immortal Emperor, yet you want to make such bold remarks?” The cloaked old man’s voice was filled with disdain. He was only a Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. No matter how extraordinary he was, no matter how impressive he was, it was impossible for him to threaten a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt.

The difference between the two was far too great. It could basically be described as the difference between the heavens and the earth.

But very soon, the cloaked old man’s laughter came to a halt. Surging demon Qi spread out from beside Jian Chen. As the pressure of an Immortal Exalt spread out, the cloaked old man felt chills.
