Chapter 433 - 394: Great Battle with the Immortal Realm

Chapter 433: Chapter 394: Great Battle with the Immortal Realm

"Jiang Feng lost?"

"In a head-on clash, an Immortal Realm expert couldn’t even withstand an Ultimate Venerable?"

The surroundings fell deathly silent. Everyone’s eyes were wide as they stared at the scene before them, feeling as if their entire worldview had been overturned.

The Immortal Realm meant one’s body was immortal. With no weak points anywhere on the body and an unbelievably powerful physique, they excelled at close-quarters combat. It was already mind-boggling for an Immortal Realm expert to lose a battle of Mana against an Ultimate Venerable, but to now be defeated in close combat as well... this... Was there any logic left in the world?

A monster!

As the crowd looked at Nie Yun, this single word surfaced in all their minds.

To the side, Yi Qing and Yi Cheng had been watching Nie Yun fight Jiang Feng with their hearts in their throats. Now, seeing him actually gain the upper hand, they both breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance, growing even more curious about the young man’s identity.

’What in the world has he been through? How are his combat instincts and his strength no weaker than Jiang Feng’s, an Immortal Realm expert?’

Hearing the crowd’s murmurs and seeing their expressions, Jiang Feng’s face flushed red, then went pale. His fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

As the strongest expert in Rongtian City, his authority had been established for decades. Now, that authority had been shattered by a young man who hadn’t even reached the Secret Realm. Even with his resolute will, he found it hard to breathe.

"Are you just going to stand there and watch the show? If something happens to Jiang Youx, I doubt you’ll be able to explain yourself!"

His eyes bloodshot, Jiang Feng suddenly let out a long roar!

"What?"

"There’s someone else?"

Everyone jumped in shock when Jiang Feng suddenly spoke.

"Haha! You can’t even handle a single Ultimate Venerable, Jiang Feng. You’re a real disgrace!" Suddenly, laughter echoed from above as a figure strode down from the sky.

The newcomer was an old man in a green robe with a snow-white beard. A mocking tone laced his voice the moment he descended.

"An Early-Stage Immortal Realm expert?"

"Early-Stage Immortal Realm... could he be an Elder from the Primordial Heart Sect?"

Yi Qing and Yi Cheng’s expressions changed the moment they saw him. Yi Qing, in particular, turned deathly pale. She looked toward Nie Yun in the center of the crowd, her eyes filled with deep worry.

’The young man didn’t want to get involved in my problems, afraid it would cause trouble. I was the one who insisted on begging him to come. If anything happens to him, won’t I feel guilty for the rest of my life?’

At this thought, she clenched her delicate fists, wishing she could rush over and shield him herself.

Yi Cheng seemed to have had the same thought as his daughter and also clenched his fist. However, the moment he tightened his grip, a scream like a slaughtered donkey rang out. It wasn’t his clenching fist that was the problem, but the fact that he was still gripping Jiang Youx’s neck... In that instant, Jiang Youx nearly suffocated and died.

"A disgrace? It won’t be a disgrace once I kill him! Let’s attack together. We’ll see if he can block us then!"

Hearing his son’s wretched cry, Jiang Feng’s eye twitched wildly. He stood up, a tide of hatred surging in his gaze.

"Attack together? Jiang Feng, you’re an Immortal Realm expert and the Patriarch of the Jiang Family of Rongtian City, yet you want to team up with someone to deal with an Ultimate Venerable. Have you no shame?"

Hearing that Jiang Feng actually planned to join forces with the Primordial Heart Sect Elder, Yi Cheng could no longer stand by. With an angry shout, he stepped forward.

"Me, have no shame? Hmph. In a moment, I’ll make it so you don’t even have a face left. Then you won’t have to worry about shame anymore!" Jiang Feng sneered.

"You want to kill me? I won’t go down that easily. Little brother, don’t be afraid. I’ll face them with you!" Yi Cheng, recognizing the threat in his words, came to stand before Nie Yun.

"Heh heh, I didn’t expect you to have some backbone. Since it’s come to this, the Yi Family can just wait for the Primordial Heart Sect’s retaliation! I imagine it wouldn’t be any trouble at all for the great Primordial Heart Sect to make a tiny family like yours disappear from the Floating Heaven Continent!" The newly arrived Primordial Heart Sect Elder gave a sinister laugh, his gaze and tone chilling as he looked at Yi Cheng.

"You’re despicable..." Yi Cheng’s face alternated between red and white.

As the Patriarch of the Yi Family, he had to consider his clansmen first. In his eyes, the Primordial Heart Sect was a behemoth of a Sect. If they truly made a move, annihilating the Yi Family would be effortless for them.

"Elder Yi, there’s no need for you to act. I’m more than enough to handle this alone!"

Seeing the look on Yi Cheng’s face, Nie Yun knew what he was thinking. He laughed heartily, an aura erupting from him that dared anyone to look down on him.

Enveloped by this aura, everyone suddenly felt that the Primordial Heart Sect Elder and Jiang Feng were as ridiculous as buffoons.

"Since you’re courting death, I’ll grant your wish!"

Seemingly feeling the pressure of this aura as well, Jiang Feng snorted coldly and took a step forward.

He had been somewhat worried when his son was in the young man’s hands, but he was relieved that Yi Cheng was holding him now. Yi Cheng represented the Yi Family; he likely wouldn’t do anything irrational before the victor between himself and this young man was decided.

"Heh heh, you’re so arrogant, young man. It makes my hands itch for a fight. I’d love to see just how you’ll deal with the two of us!"

The Primordial Heart Sect Elder also stepped forward. The two of them flanked Nie Yun, surrounding him.

"Surrounded by two Immortal Realm experts, this kid is probably done for!"

"Goes without saying. No matter how strong he is, he’s still just an Ultimate Venerable. He hasn’t reached the Secret Realm, so there’s a huge difference between his True Qi and their Mana!"

Seeing the two masters lock the young man down with their auras and pressure the moment they moved, everyone felt the outcome was already decided.

"Attack!"

With a sharp cry, Jiang Feng suddenly struck. He swept his hands forward, and his Mana billowed like boiling water as it descended upon Nie Yun.

"Get on the ground!"

At the same time Jiang Feng attacked, the Primordial Heart Sect Elder also launched his assault. His ten fingers spread wide and his palms crossed. His Mana felt as if it had physical mass, incomparably heavy, like a mountain crashing down.

Though they were both at the Early-Stage Immortal Realm, his strength was a cut above Jiang Feng’s!

"Nie Yun..." Yi Qing’s slender body trembled, the worry on her face plain for all to see.

"Good timing! Clone, appear!"

Seeing the two attack directly, Nie Yun’s eyes filled with excited battle intent. With a long cry, he slid backward. WHOOSH! A figure appeared in front of him, meeting the Immortal Realm Elder’s palm strike head-on!

The Demon Saint Ancient Corpse Clone!

The Demon Saint Ancient Corpse Clone now had enough Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to power it, giving it combat strength on par with an Early-Stage Immortal Realm expert. The moment they clashed, a massive explosion rang out in the air.

"Burn, Spirit Rhinoceros Spring Water! Profound Jade Sword, 100 layers of Dark Force, Great Strength Dantian, block!"

Having sent the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse into the air, Nie Yun flicked his finger. BANG! A fiery excitement burned from within him as the Spirit Rhinoceros Spring Water instantly ignited inside his body. At the same time, he flipped his palm, drew the Profound Jade Sword, and with a swift motion, slashed down at Jiang Feng’s hands.

He had been fighting bare-handed until now, but his strongest attack was actually the Profound Jade Sword! Facing two Early-Stage Immortal Realm experts, Nie Yun knew it would be difficult to defend himself empty-handed any longer. It was time to stop hiding his trump cards.

Furthermore, the Spirit Rhinoceros Spring Water could accelerate the activity of every cell in his body, instantly pushing all his bodily functions to their limit and unleashing combat strength far beyond his normal level.

"What?"

The Primordial Heart Sect Elder and Jiang Feng were both startled by the sudden appearance of the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse and the surge of combat power from the young man. They never would have dreamed that the youth who had been locked in a heated battle with Jiang Feng was still hiding such immense strength.

"It won’t be so easy to make me get on the ground. Why don’t you two lie down first!"

His body slid forward, the Profound Jade Sword letting out a sharp whistle as it cut through the air. Nie Yun channeled all his True Qi, augmented by 100 layers of Dark Force, and slashed down at Jiang Feng like a hurricane.

At the same instant, the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse’s fist collided with the Primordial Heart Sect Elder’s once more.

STAGGER STAGGER STAGGER STAGGER!

The Profound Jade Sword struck Jiang Feng’s arm. Nie Yun took one step back, while Jiang Feng stumbled back seven or eight steps. His hand bones twisted, his face flushed red, and a sweet taste rose in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood!

Although he coughed up blood, Jiang Feng’s injuries weren’t severe. After all, even though Nie Yun’s power had increased, his Realm was still what it was. The Primordial Heart Sect Elder, however, wasn’t so lucky. The Demon Saint Ancient Corpse, fully powered by Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, was fearless and felt no pain. It unleashed all its power in a single punch. BANG! The Primordial Heart Sect Elder was sent flying backward, slamming into a wall and suffering heavy injuries.

WHOOSH!

In that same instant, the energy from the 100 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones powering the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse was completely depleted, and Nie Yun recalled it into his Zihua Cave Mansion.

"What?"

"Terrifying!"

"An Ultimate Venerable blocked the attacks of two Immortal Realm experts? And even injured them both? What incredible methods!"

In the eyes of the crowd, two Immortal Realm experts had ganged up on one Ultimate Venerable, not only failing to achieve anything but ending up injured themselves. If word of this battle record got out, it would be enough to frighten many people to death.

Although no one knew who the figure that had suddenly appeared beside the young man was, it looked like some kind of Clone or Puppet. Otherwise, it couldn’t have appeared and disappeared so quickly.

’So that was his trump card? Amazing...’

Seeing the young man repel two masters in a single move, Yi Qing patted her chest, her tense heart finally relaxing. Her beautiful eyes shone with an excited light.

’I’m getting more and more curious about this young man now. He has such strength at roughly my age, and on top of that, he has such a powerful Puppet... Could he really be the descendant of some great figure, or a prodigy from a Major Sect?’

’But a prodigy like that would be a high-priority target for protection anywhere. How could he have ended up heavily injured and stranded in the wilderness all alone?’

’An Immortal Realm-level Puppet, and he can block an Immortal Realm expert’s attack while at the Ultimate Venerable Level... Not bad. Not bad at all!’

Although hatred raged in Jiang Feng’s heart like a river, he also knew that the young man before him was now far stronger than himself.

"Heh heh, how about it? If you still want to fight, I’ll be happy to oblige!" Ignoring the other’s crazed glare, Nie Yun put away his Profound Jade Sword and spoke nonchalantly.

Though his words were fierce, Nie Yun sighed inwardly.

’It looked like I came out on top just now, but in reality, the hidden risks are considerable.’

’The Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in the Demon Saint Ancient Corpse can only last for one exchange. If they attack relentlessly, I won’t even have time to replace the Spirit Stones. Once they discover this weakness, I’ll be in trouble.’

’After all, the difference between my true Cultivation and theirs is just too vast!’

’The gap between the Ultimate Venerable Realm and the Secret Realm Third Layer Immortal Realm... it truly is an uncrossable chasm!’

P.S. Even though I’ve just started writing the battle scenes, I’m feeling quite satisfied with myself, hehe!
