“Useless things!”
An icy voice came from the ground as a figure took a single step forward from the passage. The man wearing the golden-red tiger mask, the leader of the three masked men, had finally decided to intervene.
“In the end, do you still need my help?”
The Goat and Deer Immortals were unable to deal with a mere teenager! The Tiger Immortal had finally begun to grow impatient.
“Withdraw!”
A voice like a peal of thunder resounded over the battlefield, almost deafening everyone’s ears. Before the Deer Immortal could even react and retreat, the Tiger Immortal exploded with golden-red light, Immortal Stellar Energy rolling off him in waves. The Tiger Immortal had soared into the air to battle with Wang Chong.
“Chong-er, careful!”
“Stop him!”
Sensing danger, the Demonic Emperor Old Man, the Wushang Village Chief, Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, the Black Yin Ancestor, the Myriad Ghost Ancestor, and the Bone Devil Ancestor all paled. They shot up from the ground and charged at the Tiger Immortal, countless streams of Stellar Energy converging on the masked man.
Wang Chong was the strongest person on their side.
Wang Chong had just finished fighting the Goat Immortal and was still fighting the Deer Immortal. He could not fight the Tiger Immortal after all that. And if Wang Chong were defeated, none of them would be in much better condition!
Even without exchanging any words, all of them had agreed on the same course of action.
Boomboomboom!
Fierce winds and waves of Stellar Energy swept the fog away. A second later, all the attacks landed against the Tiger Immortal’s body, but the result was completely different from what was expected. Kaboom! Golden-red light erupted, followed by an explosive power far greater than anything the Deer Immortal could muster. This single attack was like an erupting volcano, throwing around all the martial arts titans like they were leaves on the wind and sending them hurtling back to the ground.
The Tiger Immortal continued to fly unimpeded toward Wang Chong.
“Not good!”
Wang Chong sensed the development down below. He only had time to glance down, whereupon he saw two golden-red tiger claws rapidly expanding in his field of vision and then slamming into his Stellar Energy barrier.
Boom!
With this one strike, Wang Chong’s sturdy Stellar Energy, the God Demon Obliteration Sword Qi that could stand against the Goat Immortal, and the destructive sword intent were instantly extinguished.
Wang Chong had never encountered such terrifying power, packed with such explosive and destructive might. Let alone Song Yuanyi or the Black Yin Ancestor, not even the second-generation successor or even the Goat Immortal and Deer Immortal were any match for this man.
The gap between them could not be judged using common measures.
“Ah!”
Wang Chong screamed as his milky-white Sword Qi shattered. His chest trembled as he vomited blood and he was sent flying through the air. He slammed into the ground with such force that he continued to slide for several meters, all the way until the edge of the cliff, his head hanging over the edge. Just a little more would have sent him plunging into the abyss.
Fwoosh!
The power of the impact was so great that Wang Chong vomited blood again. The clothes around his chest were in tatters and drenched in blood. This single strike had caused Wang Chong’s mental and physical strength to drop.
In this process, the Deer Immortal who Wang Chong had been battling with did not strike while the iron was hot. Instead, he retreated several dozen feet, apparently having expected this result.
Whoooah!
As the Deer Immortal fell back, the Tiger Immortal charged forward to take his place, and both landed on the ground at the same time, their black robes flapping.
“Kill them! And then we’ll take what we came here for and leave!”
The Tiger Immortal placed his hands behind his back. His face was still covered by that savage golden-red mask, but his eyes looked past the martial artists, past the stone bridge and the chains, finally stopping at the building shrouded in golden light, the Origin Immortal Palace!
After all the time spent planning, it was high time that this operation was brought to an end.
They would kill these martial artists, wiping out any trace of their existence, and then they would enter the Origin Immortal Palace and remove the treasure, perfectly completing their mission. From that point onward, they would once more become like ghosts, vanishing from the world so that no one would find any trace of them.
“Kill!”
A great shout rose in response to the Tiger Immortal’s order, and the invigorated men in black charged at the dense crowd of martial artists.
The Fires of Lu Wu, Ju Bi, and Mara swept across the area, igniting any Stellar Energy they encountered and burning until nothing was left.
The men in black used their Void Movement Technique to move around like ghosts and slaughter their way through the martial artists.
Plush! Blood gushed into the air and the martial artists cried out in panic, trying to fight back and retreat at the same time.
But whether they fought or retreated, they all had the same fate. Thudthudthud! The martial artists were cut down like stalks of wheat, collapsing into pools of blood.
“Hold them off! Retreat just means death!”
“These bastards! Even if I have to die, I’ll bring them down with me!”
When a person was forced into dire straits, they would explode with immense power. As the number of martial artists dwindled, the remainder cast aside any thought for their lives, their eyes turning red with bloodlust.
Clangclangclang!
Weapons and Stellar Energies collided, the battle reaching a fever pitch as the experts of the Five Ancestor Alliance and Righteous Alliances joined the fray.
“Chong-er, how are you doing?”
At this moment, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief rushed up to Wang Chong’s side. They worriedly stared at the feeble and bloodstained Wang Chong, even their outstretched hands shaking.
Wang Chong was the greatest focus of their concern, particularly for the Demonic Emperor Old Man. He regarded Wang Chong not merely as his inheriting disciple, but also his only remaining relative in this cold and cruel world.
“Master, I’m fine.”
Wang Chong arduously opened his eyes as excruciating pain was sent to his mind from every part of his body.
The Tiger Immortal’s strike hadn’t merely shattered his Sword Qi. The dreadful power of the Subtle realm had rumbled into his body, where it gnawed at his meridians like myriad ants.
Wang Chong had been thoroughly defeated in this battle. In the end, he had just been too weak.
Even though the divine sword had pushed him to the Subtle realm, even allowing him to fight against the immensely powerful Deer Immortal, he was still a level beneath the Tiger Immortal.
“…Relax; I can still fight. It’s not that easy for that scoundrel to kill me!”
Wang Chong began to rapidly circulate his Stellar Energy through his body, his eyes remaining fixed on the Tiger Immortal and bursting with fighting intent. No matter what the situation was, Wang Chong was not someone who would easily give up.
At this moment, not even Wang Chong had realized that the blood flowing from his wounds was flowing down his arm and into the Origin Immortal Sword.
This blood did not drip to the ground but was cleanly absorbed by the Origin Immortal Sword.
Violet streaks of lightning began to appear on the surface of the Origin Immortal Sword, but they were so weak and the sounds of fighting so loud that not even the nearby Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief noticed anything.
Meanwhile, the Tiger Immortal seemed to have a very high opinion of himself. After heavily injuring Wang Chong, he did not come forward to deal the fatal blow. Perhaps he believed that since Wang Chong was no match for him in peak condition, now that he was heavily injured, he would still be no match no matter how much he struggled.
This provided Wang Chong with an extremely vital chance to catch his breath.
“Chong-er, don’t talk. We’ll treat your wounds.”
As Wang Chong circulated Stellar Energy through his body, the Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief placed their hands on him and began to send in their own Stellar Energy to assist. But at this moment, rumble! A boundless energy teeming with vitality traveled through the ground and surged into Wang Chong’s body.
Such was the power of this Stellar Energy that the moment it entered Wang Chong’s body, it immediately circulated through all his limbs, entering every cell. It stimulated his vitality and assisted in healing his internal injuries.
Even with the Demonic Emperor Old Man’s and the Wushang Village Chief’s help, Wang Chong would have needed a very long time to recover from the Tiger Immortal’s strike.
But with the assistance of this Stellar Energy brimming with vitality, Wang Chong’s damaged meridians began to rapidly heal, his wounded organs once more thrumming with vigor.
It took only a few moments for the majority of Wang Chong’s injuries to be healed, and the remainder were well on their way to recovery, supported by that energy.
“Song Yuanyi!”
The Demonic Emperor Old Man and Wushang Village Chief trembled in shock as they turned their heads to the source of this Stellar Energy, the nearby Righteous Alliance Lord. Over there, all the Righteous Alliance members had assembled into a large formation and were working with their lord and vice lord to fight back against the men in black.
