Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3910: Breaking out of the Encirclement

“This presence… oh no, it’s the Ghost Immortal cult’s power…”

“What a terrifying presence. What a startling storm of energy. T-this is clearly the vice cult leader of the Ghost Immortal cult…”

“It’s the Ghost Immortal cult’s Lan Caidie. Dammit, is she getting involved? Isn’t she afraid of bringing destruction to the Ghost Immortal cult?”

......

…

As the bloody cloud pressed closer from below, all of the Immortal Exalts reacted violently. Even Zuo Dao from the Divine Valley of the Nine Heavens became extremely stern like he was facing great danger.

The surging energy that rapidly approached them from below did not simply make them wary. It struck deep fear into them.

As a matter of fact, there was even horror!

This power was far too great and far too startling. Even the Profound Spirit Master who had already reached the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Exalt encountered the thought of immediately turning around and fleeing.

Jian Chen furrowed his brows as well. Lan Caidie’s action had taken him by surprise. He originally wanted to use the Divine Formation of the Heavens to resolve the danger he was facing, but he never thought that Lan Caidie would take action by herself and use the power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal at this time.

After all, it was not as easy for Lan Caidie to use the power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal as it was for him to activate the Divine Formation of the Heavens.

Whenever she used the power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal, Lan Caidie would have to pay a tremendous price and would even face a prolonged period of feebleness.

Meanwhile, he only needed to exhaust the energy of several tens of thousand disciples of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to activate the Divine Formation of the Heavens. At most, he only needed to use some resources before they could all recover. The price he paid was far lighter than Lan Caidie’s.

“She clearly knows that I can resolve the danger I’m facing right now, but she still chose to help without hesitation. Clearly, she doesn’t wish for me to expose the secret of the Primeval Divine Hall here.” Jian Chen sighed inside. He already understood Lan Caidie’s intentions.

Meanwhile, the Heavenloss Master’s face was extremely ugly. He stared straight at the bloody cloud that flew up rapidly from below and bellowed sternly, “Vice cult leader Lan, my actions right now represent the Heavenly Palace of Great Radiance to a certain extent. You better consider the consequences of interfering and ruining my matters.”

However, Lan Caidie was unfazed by the Heavenloss Master’s threats. Clad in the bloody mist, she completely unleashed the power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal, rushing towards the group of Immortal Exalts like she was unstoppable.

Watching Lan Caidie get closer and closer, some of the Immortal Exalts around Jian Chen began to panic slightly.

“Don’t panic, everyone. So what if she has the power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal? There are so many of us. Are we supposed to be incapable of stopping her?” the Heavenloss Master called out sternly.

It had to be mentioned that the Heavenloss Master’s influence had become extraordinary from borrowing the name of the Divine Palace of Great Radiance. The Immortal Exalts who stood forward to trap Jian Chen gathered together. Terrifying energy surged out of their bodies as they swung their god artifacts at full force.

Immediately, gorgeous light illuminated the area. A powerful storm of energy made the spectating Immortal Exalts behind them subconsciously back away. A total of ten flows of energy collided with the bloody mist with devastating force.

Boom!

A deafening rumble erupted on the staircase. The surrounding space shook violently. If this place was not protected by the powerful formations of the Skyscraping World, the region probably would have ceased to exist, having been reduced to void.

Within the dense, bloody mist was Lan Caidie who powered the Remains of the Ghost Immortal.

She faced a total of ten Immortal Exalts. The Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Profound Spirit Master, was the strongest. There were also numerous Third, Second, and First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts.

However, following the strike, all ten Immortal Exalts grunted, including the Profound Spirit Master, having been knocked flying like leaves. Many of them fell to the ground with pale faces.

Some of the Immortal Exalts who were only at the First Heavenly Layer even coughed up bloody pulp uncontrollably, which was filled with pieces of their organs.

The strongest of them, the Profound Spirit Master, did not seem to sustain any obvious injuries, but he did become sickly pale. His gaze towards Lan Caidie was filled with deep fear.

After repelling the ten Immortal Exalts, Lan Caidie’s presence continued to surge. The power from the Remains of the Ghost Immortal had yet to run out.

Afterwards, she turned into a red blur and slammed into the hidden traps up ahead with her remaining power.

Immediately, the surroundings erupted. A terrifying storm of energy stirred once again. A huge net appeared where Lan Caidie was, radiating with the power of a high quality god artifact.

When the net appeared, Jian Chen immediately recognised it as the Profound Spirit Master’s god artifact.

Very clearly, the Profound Spirit Master had hidden his high quality god artifact there, waiting for him to walk right into it.

If Jian Chen were trapped in it, breaking free would force him to use some trump cards.

But at this moment, the high quality god artifact net immediately paled following Lan Caidie’s attack. All of its energy was instantly exhausted before she knocked it far away.

However, the net was only the first trap.

Shortly afterwards, a formation appeared from the surrounding space. It flickered with ancient glyphs, seemingly turning into a cage that engulfed space. It seemed capable of sealing off the world. Even early Immortal Exalts would struggle to break free once they fell inside it.

In the end, the trapping formation shattered after taking a single attack from Lan Caidie.

However, following the ensnaring formation was a third hidden trap. It was a palm-sized jade bottle. It suddenly appeared from the surrounding space with its mouth already facing Lan Caidie.

In the next moment, a terrifying stream of coldness erupted from the jade bottle. When the coldness appeared, the world seemed to freeze. Even space seized up. The surrounding Immortal Exalts could not help but shiver.

Immediately, the long staircase became covered in a thick layer of frost. A few weaker First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts even became covered in a thin layer of ice crystals.

Jian Chen was no different. His entire body was covered in thick ice. Terrifying coldness invaded his body as if it was even trying to freeze up his raging chaotic blood.

However, despite how terrifying the coldness was, it still could not approach Lan Caidie. It had been blocked by the power from the Remains of the Ghost Immortal.

The Remains of the Ghost Immortal was far too powerful. The coldness from the jade bottle was extraordinary, but it could only pose some threat to early Immortal Exalts. Before the Remains of the Ghost Immortal that had already reached the peak of mid Immortal Exalt or late Immortal Exalt, it was obviously nowhere near enough.

Boom!

Lan Caidie struck out. She slammed the jade bottle with her hand. A rumble erupted as she knocked the jade bottle far away. It smashed into the steps up ahead and fell to the ground.

Immediately, the barricade formed from the ten Immortal Exalts and the three traps up ahead had all been destroyed by Lan Caidie in an unstoppable manner.

“Go!” Lan Caidie called out to Jian Chen. Her power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal was on the verge of running out. She could not last much longer. A period of weakness awaited her.

By now, Jian Chen was affected by the aftershocks of energy as well. His flesh and blood heaved. He arrived beside Lan Caidie with a flash, about to take her away from here.

“Don’t worry about me. I have methods for self-preservation,” Lan Caidie said feebly and urgently. She was already past her peak condition. Her presence rapidly declined.

“Take care!” Jian Chen did not insist. He took out the jade box that contained the Three Lives Reincarnation Fruit without any hesitation and shoved it into her hands without saying anything more.

Lan Caidie was taken aback at first. She quickly opened the box by a crack. A fragrance filled with the presence of reincarnation filled her nose. It immediately filled her feeble and exhausted eyes with surprise and joy.

“Thank you!” Lan Caidie thanked him in a hurry before using the remaining power of the Remains of the Ghost Immortal. She turned into a blood-red blur and quickly shot off towards the mountain peak, immediately vanishing into the thick mist up ahead.

Jian Chen was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he looked back at the Immortal Exalts who had blocked his path and said coldly, “You must already know how I’ve killed great elders of the Immortal Feather sect. I don’t even fear one of the twelve courts of heaven, so what is your measly background supposed to be in my eyes? If you keep making these incessant demands, I’m not going to show any mercy.”

After tossing that out, Jian Chen left without looking back. He used the Laws of Space to climb towards the mountain peak.

He did not wear the Divine Armour of Heavenflight. Instead, he travelled at a steady pace, helping Lan Caidie buy even more time to escape.

“You arrogant junior!” Only now did the Profound Spirit Master recover from the powerful attack from the Remains of the Ghost Immortal. He let out a bellow as his presence surged, immediately chasing after Jian Chen.

At the same time, he swung his hand. The high quality god artifact net that fell nearby flew back into his hand.

“Yang Yutian, I don’t care if you’ve killed great elders of the Immortal Feather sect. If you don’t leave behind the Spiritual Fruit of Sword Nurturing, you’re going nowhere,” the Heavenloss Master of the Sword Sect of Yang Soul also yelled furiously. Shortly afterwards, he looked at the Immortal Exalts in the surroundings who had suffered injuries of varying degree. “Fellows, please assist me in capturing this kid. Our Sword Sect of Yang Soul will never forget about the assistance you’ve provided today!”

The Immortal Exalts all nodded in agreement. Many of their eyes burned with enthusiasm.

By now, capturing Jian Chen was no longer simply a matter of currying favour with the Sword Sect of Yang Soul. Jian Chen possessed the heavenly resources of several dozen medicinal gardens. Just this wealth alone and the secrets he was hiding was enough to make these Immortal Exalts rally with interest.

Apart from that, he was also the person that the Immortal Feather sect was after. Capturing him and offering him to the Immortal Feather sect would also result in great reward.

The Profound Spirit Master, the Heavenloss Master, and the other Immortal Exalts all turned into blurs and chased after Jian Chen.
