Chapter 4039: Killing an Immortal Exalt With a Single Strike

Xue Ji’s message immediately shocked Jian Chen slightly. He instantly understood why Xue Ji wanted him to kill the person before him.

He had absolutely no connection to anyone in the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon, much less any feuds. Under these circumstances, there was only one explanation for why Xue Ji would say with such certainty that he had to kill this person.

Yue Buluo had the blood of disciples from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens on his hands!

And with his cultivation, it obviously could not have been regular disciples. They had to be elders of the sect at the very least.

At that instant, killing intent surged from the bottom of Jian Chen’s heart. Even his calm gaze turned icy.

“Xue Shuangyue, in consideration of the Black Heaven Master, I’m not going to make a fuss over some disrespect, but you need to know where to draw the line as well.” Yue Buluo stared at Xue Ji with his slit-like eyes. His voice was extremely stern.

If it had been any other Immortal Emperor, who would have the courage to talk to him like that?

Unfortunately, as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, the Black Heaven Master was someone he could not afford to provoke.

In the surroundings, the Immortal Emperors all exchanged glances. They wanted to speak up and defuse the situation, but they also had their qualms, afraid of causing problems for themselves instead.

“Yue Buluo, you’re almost a dead man, yet you still care so much about your image? If I were you, I’d only be thinking about how I can escape today,” Xue Ji said coldly, showing no respect at all.

Yue Buluo’s face darkened. His hoarse voice was filled with bone-chilling coldness. “Xue Shuangyue, you’re going too far. If it weren’t for the Black Heaven Master, the Black Demon Palace wouldn’t be able to say anything if I imprisoned you from what you said just now.”

“Aren’t you just a spineless bully?” Xue Shuangyue sneered.

“You-” Yue Buluo was rather exasperated. He was an impressive Immortal Exalt, the ancestor of an entire sect, yet she was insulting him like this now. Since when had he suffered such humiliation?

At this moment, Yue Buluo was even tempted to take action against Xue Shuangyue. However, right when he was about to lose his temper, the Black Heaven Master’s figure flashed through his head. The tall and imposing figure seemed to give off an invisible pressure, making Yue Buluo rapidly calm down.

He sucked in a deep breath and stared at Xue Ji coldly. “Xue Shuangyue, you boldly claim that I’m doomed today. I’d like to see how you bury me here.”

As he said that, Yue Buluo clasped his fist towards Jian Chen and said amicably, “Fellow, please do not listen to Xue Shuangyue’s nonsense. She is a heartless schemer. Seeing how her Black Demon Palace is powerless over our Blade Sect of Trickling Moon, she’s trying to kill with a borrowed blade. Please do not be used by Xue Shuangyue.”

Xue Shuangyue did not continue arguing. She took a small step back, arriving behind Jian Chen. She said indifferently, “I’ve already said what I needed to say. Whether you kill him or not is up to you.”

Jian Chen was calm, but a cold light shone in the depths of his eyes. “Since you said I must kill this person, then I’ll end him here. I believe you.”

It was a simple message, but Xue Shuangyue smiled gently when she heard how he believed her. At that moment, her recognition of Jian Chen seemed to increase by quite a bit.

In the next moment, Jian Chen struck out without any prior signs. He formed a sword with two hands. Sword Qi shot out from the tip of his fingers, and the blinding light enveloped the entire Taiji mountain range. It immediately turned into a bolt of lightning that shot towards Yue Buluo’s forehead.

He did not use a god artifact this time. Instead, he condensed a sword from the Laws of the Sword. When he thrust out, afterimages appeared in the surrounding space. Each afterimage possessed alarming might, enough to destroy worlds.

A total of five afterimages instantly merged together!

Yue Buluo’s face changed drastically. He had never expected Jian Chen to attack him without even batting an eye. He was one of the three ancestors of the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon after all, an impressive Immortal Exalt. How could someone make an attempt on his life so suddenly?

However, what shocked him even more was the power behind the attack. He actually sensed a lethal threat from it. The absolute force behind the sword even made a peak First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt like him shiver.

Despite being surprised, Yue Buluo did not panic in the face of danger. Immediately, powerful energy surged out of his body, condensing into a thick shield in front of him. At the same time, a blade appeared in his hand, radiating with the might of a high quality god artifact. He directly slashed at the incoming attack.

For a moment, the might of an Immortal Exalt filled the surroundings, causing the expressions of the Immortal Emperors gathered in the surroundings to change. They could not help but retreat far away.

They did not anticipate the two of them to start fighting without any signs either. After all, the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon was not a small organisation. Did he not think about the consequences of going after an Immortal Exalt ancestor of the Blade Sect of Trickling Moon?

It all happened in a split second. Jian Chen’s sword Qi collided against Yue Buluo’s blade. The two great forces clashed, erupting as a thunderous boom, which made the mountains shake and the ground crack. A devastating storm of energy swept through the surroundings in a devastating manner, blowing everything away.

The storm of energy was so powerful that it could heavily injure Immortal Monarchs and repel Immortal Emperors. The effect it had on the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals obviously went without saying.

“Stop, the two of you!” The Immortal Emperors all roared out furiously. They desperately circulated their energy, protecting their disciples behind them.

As for the Immortal Monarchs from smaller organisations even further away, their faces all changed drastically.

This storm of energy on the level of Immortal Exalts was basically a catastrophe to them.

But fortunately, the Immortal Emperors from the various organisations were on the front line. They blocked the brunt of the storm. When the storm of energy made it past these Immortal Emperors, ninety percent of its power had already dissipated.

Otherwise, this clash between Jian Chen and Yue Buluo would have heavily injured most of the Immortal Monarchs near the Taiji mountain range.

Jian Chen and Yue Buluo had only clashed a single time. After a short exchange of attacks, the surroundings gradually settled. The devastating storm of energy rapidly dispersed as well.

Jian Chen remained where he was. The fierce winds produced by the energy swept past him, ruffling his clothes.

Before him, Yue Buluo’s head had already vanished. All that remained was his body beneath his neck.

The high quality god artifact in Yue Buluo’s hand turned into a streak of light and heavily struck a mountain nearby.

“Please calm down, the two of…” Nearby, an Immortal Emperor from a peak organisation tried to calm them down, but he came to a halt after saying half of what he had wanted to say. He stared at Yue Buluo blankly.

As the energy subsided, the other Immortal Emperors all noticed Yue Buluo’s situation as well. Their eyes all narrowed violently. They were filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Yue Buluo’s elderly body seemed to lose all of its power, going into free fall.

All of the Immortal Emperors’ eyes were locked onto Yue Buluo’s falling body. Their hearts were already surging.

As Immortal Emperors, they all possessed exceptional insight. They obviously noticed with a single glance that Yue Buluo had already perished.

He was a peak First Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, yet he had died in a split second?
