Chapter 248: The Battle Begins

“Roar, roar, roar!”

As the words left his mouth, the six disciples of Toad excitedly yelled out.

As demon immortals and beast immortals, they prided themselves on never taking any fellow cultivators of the same realm seriously.

In their view, this so-called duel was nothing more than a chance to beat up these human cultivators.

How do the four factions compare? How to determine the victor?

The rules had long been established.

First, the four major factions would each send someone to battle individually; being heavily injured or falling off the stage would be considered a loss.

Finally, there would be two rounds of six-on-six confrontations to determine the ultimate winner.

Whoosh!

Bang!

Among Toad’s disciples, a rough man with bull horns was the first to jump onto the stage.

“Which of you is not afraid of death, dare to battle with your grandpa Niu!”

The Bull Head raised the giant axe in his hand and slammed it onto the stage, disdainfully scanning everyone.

“Red Rainbow Sword Immortal is here; Wild Bull, do not be so arrogant!”

Swish!

A figure flashed onto the stage like a celestial sword.

“Clang!”

The crisp sound of the sword echoing made everyone’s hearts uneasy.

“You brat, you can’t even break your grandpa Bull’s defense, yet you dare to show off in front of me, take this!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Bull Head swung his giant axe, charging forward with his massive body against the sword intent.

Sword cultivators are known for their agility.

Even though the Bull Head wasn’t slow, his divine sense was lacking, preventing him from perfectly locking onto his opponent’s figure.

This led to the bull’s reckless attacks missing repeatedly, exposing numerous flaws, which allowed the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal to land several strikes.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The Bull Head roared in fury. His thick skin and tough flesh meant these strikes wouldn’t harm him fundamentally, but it hurt, and he was angry!

The two sides exchanged blows, unable to determine a victor for a moment.

Below the stage, Chen Ansheng observed the battle, secretly sighing; as expected, all disciples of the Immortal Kings possessed significantly stronger auras than those wild cultivators.

Chen Ansheng himself was at the peak of the mid-Mystic Immortal realm, just one minor realm below everyone present.

By normal standards, he would never be a match for anyone here.

However, once the battle began, Chen Ansheng could break through to the late Mystic Immortal realm at any moment with just a thought.

He suppressed his cultivation level—one, to test his combat limits, and two, to keep a trump card up his sleeve for a surprise breakthrough at a crucial moment.

After a few breaths, both sides had already made their moves.

The Red Rainbow Sword Immortal’s immortal body shook, and thousands of sword shadows surged toward the Bull Head.

The Bull Head roared repeatedly, a circle of red light enveloping him, as he relied on his defense to withstand the sword intent.

“You little brat, you can’t even break your grandpa Bull’s defense; how dare you compete? Go home!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Bull Head raised his giant axe, recklessly charging through the sword intent, swinging at the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal.

Sword cultivators are extremely agile.

Despite the Bull Head being fast, his divine sense was lacking, making it difficult for him to perfectly track his opponent’s movements.

Because of this, his reckless attacks repeatedly missed, creating vulnerabilities that the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal exploited to land a few hits.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

The Bull Head howled in rage; while he couldn’t be critically harmed by those few strikes due to his tough skin, it was still painful, and he was furious!

The exchanges continued, and neither side could establish a clear victor.

Below the stage.

Fang Chixu regarded the battle expressionlessly and said dismissively, “Look at this, this is how sword cultivators are; they can’t even break the skin of a wild bull, tsk tsk.”

The other four chuckled.

“Senior Brother Fang’s Chaos True Qi is much stronger than that wild bull’s hide.”

“It seems the sword cultivator faction really is not to be feared.”

“The key lies with that black-robed law cultivator; as long as we preserve our strength, we can deal with him head-on.”

The group discussed casually.

Chen Ansheng also maintained a calm expression, stating, “That sword cultivator is clearly not using his true power; he’s just toying with that wild bull.”

As a sword cultivator, Chen Ansheng felt the strength of the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal more acutely than the others.

He estimated that the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal hadn’t even used thirty percent of his fighting ability.

Fang Chixu didn’t like this comment, but he refrained from saying much else. After all, Chen Ansheng was also a sword cultivator. It’s understandable for someone who looks down on sword cultivators to feel displeased and say a few words to save face.

“Ah Mang, what are you wasting time for? Quickly take down that fellow!”

Toad, impatient by nature, detested such back-and-forth exchanges, itching to jump on stage and slap the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal to death himself.

“Got it, Master!”

The Bull Head replied, preparing to unleash his ultimate move and end this meaningless battle.

“You think you can run? I’ll let you try! Kui Bull Golden Body!”

Boom!

With a resounding crash, the Bull Head’s body was enveloped in golden light, instantly expanding, his massive figure occupying the entire stage.

The Red Rainbow Sword Immortal, who had been trying to provoke this foolish bull while concealing his form, was taken aback when the opponent suddenly increased in size, almost sending him flying off the stage.

“You foolish bull, you’re serious now? Alright, I won’t play with you anymore! Twelve Levels of Dark Sword, kill!”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sharp sound of swords rang out, yet no sword intent or sword shadows erupted.

“Not good, this fellow has a trump card!”

Though the Bull Head was reckless, he was not foolish. The extremely dangerous aura caught him completely off guard.

Ding!

Invisible dark swords struck against the Bull Head’s golden defense.

Boom!

Golden light scattered, blinding everyone!

The Bull Head’s defense was breached!

“Damn you, using underhanded tricks to harm your grandpa; you’re seeking death!”

The Bull Head was pierced through his abdomen by that sword but acted as if nothing had happened, furiously cursing as he raised his war axe.

With a swing of the axe, the entire stage was engulfed in rampant immortal energy, leaving no place to escape.

“Wave of Sword Intent!”

Feeling the pressure, the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal fully unleashed his strength.

A torrent of sword intent surged into the sky, clashing violently against the golden axe shadow.

The powerful shockwave radiated outward, sending the watching disciples tumbling several feet backward.

Little Master, there’s more to this chapter, please click to the next page to continue reading; it gets even more exciting!

The power was not to be underestimated!

This was the combat strength that a talented Mystic Immortal should possess!

As the two sides’ immortal energies clashed, the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal transformed into a rainbow light, actively charging forth to battle the Bull Head for victory!

“Twelve Levels of Celestial Sabers, kill!”

This time, the dark swords did not conceal themselves but appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Twelve black sword bodies descended from the heavenly dome, and as they fell, they stacked upon one another, ultimately forming a massive black sword aimed at the Bull Head.

“Go to hell!”

The Bull Head roared, raising his giant axe to strike at the black sword.

“You fool, transform your body, or you will surely lose!”

Seeing this scene, Toad couldn’t help but curse, wishing he could tear that foolish Bull Head apart himself.

The Bull Head was startled but remained unyielding.

My spirit mountain-opening axe can even cut through top-quality immortal swords; why should I fear him?!

Moreover, it seemed there wasn’t time to transform my body now!

In the instant the sword and the giant axe collided.

Strangely, the violent energy collision that was expected did not explode; instead, the black sword quietly pierced through the giant axe, impacting the Bull Head’s golden defensive barrier.

Crack…

Lightning shot forth, and the Bull Head’s defense was effortlessly shattered. The sword struck against his horn, creating numerous fractures. The terrifying impact pressed down his massive body, almost crushing the battlefield.

If he did not relieve this force, the Bull Head’s horns would shatter, and his cultivation would suffer significant loss!

Thus, he had no choice but to forcefully move his massive body backward, like a falling meteor crashing heavily against the restrictions of the duel arena.

The Bull Head was defeated!

Upon witnessing this scene, Fang Chixu’s face turned ashen, his eyelids twitching.

He cursed inwardly, wondering how this sword immortal could be so strong!
