Chapter 1229 - 1229: Slaying the Immortal Official

Seeing that the ten Divine Monarchs didn't react, many people couldn't sit still.

What's going on?

This kind of total disregard for rules and extreme breach of etiquette, and the Divine Monarchs are ignoring it?

If this continues, where is the dignity of the Celestial Palace?

What about the status of us Immortal Officials?

The next moment, two Lower-Rank Star Monarchs and two Third Grade Immortal Officials stood up.

Among these four, there were three Daoist Venerables and one Supreme.

As they stood up, all four of them inadvertently observed the reaction of the Divine Monarchs to see their attitude.

If they showed displeasure, it meant they were not allowed to act on their own.

If their expressions were calm, it meant tacit approval.

And what the four saw were the encouraging looks from King Jing and King Shi.

Seeing these looks, the four were immediately reassured.

It turns out the Divine Monarchs were planning to act too, just disdaining to do it themselves. It wasn't a misstep to stand up.

Many Immortal Officials even began to regret it.

If they'd known earlier, they would have stood up too to leave a good impression in front of the Divine Monarchs.

Especially Prince Yi, who even took the initiative to secretly send a message to these four.

"Teach him a profound lesson, make him remember, but don't take his life."

Although Jiang Cheng couldn't be killed, they were eager for this brat to suffer a great loss.

Weren't you in a bet with Wenren Sihai?

Then we'll just make sure you lose.

We'll make you run around naked for a year, leaving you utterly humiliated!

Hearing these words from Prince Yi, the four were invigorated, as if injected with adrenaline.

They immediately eagerly blocked Brother Cheng.

"You fool, how dare you step up here? Who allowed you to come up?"

"Is this a place you can stay?"

"You don't even look at your standing, are you blind!"

As they spoke, they directly prepared to make a move.

Anyway, the Divine Monarchs said it was fine as long as he wasn't killed; injuring him was okay.

Wenren Sihai below saw this scene and clapped happily.

"Hahaha, serves you right!"

Seeing Jiang Cheng step up and not be put to death by the Divine Monarchs had made him think something unexpected might happen.

Now seeing Brother Cheng surrounded by four experts, he immediately felt relieved.

This is right, this is the normal outcome!

"Weren't you arrogant? Now you know you're in trouble, right?"

"Even if you want to come down, there's no chance now!"

"Let's see how you'll die!"

And all the other Immortal Officials around joined in the clamor.

"As expected, this isn't a place he should have gone up to."

"What did I say? Now it's over, right?"

"Recklessly rushing to a position where you shouldn't be standing will cost you dearly."

"A mere Ninth-grade Immortal Official truly has no self-awareness!"

"Looks like the Emperor Sword Star Lord really has no relationship with him, didn't even plead for him…"

These discussions buzzed across the entire stage.

Of course, Jiang Cheng could hear them.

But he was too lazy to respond and instead looked at those four with a meaningful gaze.

"Do you know me? And yet you jump out like this?"

"Humph, no-name nobody, do we need to know you?"

The leading Third Grade Immortal Official drew his Daoist Artifact.

It wasn't a sword, but a fan.

"Who do you think you are, playing tricks at this point?"

"Since you've barged in, you must pay the price."

The other three even thought there was no need to use their weapons.

They were three Daoist Venerables; to use weapons against a Celestial Venerable would be a disgrace, wouldn't it?

What right does this brat have?

He doesn't even measure up!

They just blocked Jiang Cheng's retreat, preventing him from escaping.

"Really?"

Brother Cheng's hand slowly reached for his sword hilt.

Before making a move, he made sure to look at familiar faces like King Shi and Prince Yi Lv.

"Are you sure you're not going to intervene?"

Several Divine Monarchs closed their eyes, pretending they didn't know him.

Clearly, they wouldn't back him up, waiting to see him beaten.

"Alas…"

Brother Cheng sighed faintly.

"As you wish then."

Then, he suddenly swung out his sword.

He didn't use the Fifteen Layer Perfect Sword Dao.

Nor did he use the Thirteen Layer Sword Dao Realm.

He just used an Eighth Layer one.

It wasn't out of underestimating the enemy but because… it was enough.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Cheng facing three Daoist Venerables and one Supreme would find it difficult to win even if he went all out.

But here is the Emperor Sword Star.

Here, only the Sword Rules can be implemented, only the Sword Origin can be accessed.

Here, the advantage of Daoist Venerables is only their Immortal Power Cultivation and Divine Soul Level.

If those Daoist Venerables haven't cultivated the Sword Rules, their combat power might not even match a genius Sword Cultivator Supreme.

This is the strength of the Upper-Rank Main Star.

It's also the main reason why Qiu Yuxuan can firmly hold the position of Emperor Sword Star Lord.

Others were weakened and restricted, while she held the command of Emperor Sword Star's Star Power and Rules. Imagine what kind of effect that would have.

Among the four facing Jiang Cheng, two did use swords, but their mastery of the Sword Rules was low.

They weren't professional Sword Cultivators, didn't even have Second Layer Sword Dao.

Moreover… they hadn't even drawn their swords.

Thus, when Jiang Cheng slashed out that Eight Layer Sword Dao Realm, the outcome was already sealed.

The resplendent and brilliant Sword Dao World flashed and disappeared, and four figures fell.

A strong scent of blood was already wafting on the Purple Jade Platform.

As Daoist Venerables, they shouldn't have been so vulnerable, nor should their reactions have been so slow.

Before dying, the three Daoist Venerables did launch an attack.

They all instinctively activated their Divine Souls, intending to crush this mere Celestial Venerable.

Unfortunately, Brother Cheng's Divine Soul was on the same level as theirs, a Purple Soul.

Though it was slightly affected, it didn't interrupt the presentation of the Sword Dao World.

Thus, with one sword, the four were instantly killed!

Looking at the blood flowing beside his feet, and the still-warm corpses of two Star Monarchs and two Third Grade Immortal Officials, the noisy atmosphere suddenly became as quiet as a chicken.

Clang!

Jiang Cheng sheathed his sword, revealing a mocking smile toward the ten Divine Monarchs.

"Looks like you'll need to find a few people to replace them."

Bang!

King Jing was the first to slam the table and stand up.

Soon after, the other nine Divine Monarchs all stood up.

Each one with eyes filled with intense shock and rage.

The anger was, of course, because this guy had killed four important figures!

These four included two Lower-Rank Star Lords and two Third Grade Immortal Officials.

And among them were three Daoist Venerables.

Their deaths were a huge loss for the Celestial Palace!

In all the years of conflict with the Evil Immortal Realm, no battle had ever caused such severe casualties.

And the shock was because Jiang Cheng, a mere Celestial Venerable, could instantly defeat three Daoist Venerables and a Supreme.

How utterly unbelievable!

"Eighth Layer Sword Dao Realm!"

Qiu Yuxuan's eyes flashed with incredulous brilliance.

Her beautiful eyes didn't look at the four corpses but fixated on Jiang Cheng's returned sword, as if that sword had some special magic.
