Chapter 123: Celestial Immortals Clash

In the void.

The Black-clad Man said coldly, “Why arrange a duel for him and not bring him back directly?”

Mo Wu’s expression was somewhat unnatural as he replied, “My intention was for him to resolve his issues by himself, to avoid future concerns that might hinder important matters.”

The Black-clad Man spoke sternly, “Is that necessary? He must not act on his own in the future!”

Mo Wu repeatedly acknowledged this respectfully, then said, “Currently, among the two chosen by the jade disc, both are being targeted by that half-respect Heavenly Immortal. Please, my lord, instruct me on how to resolve this.”

The Black-clad Man replied indifferently, “Time is tight; I won’t allow these rotten fish to cause any trouble; I will take action myself.”

Mo Wu’s expression tightened, and he had a clear understanding of the situation in his heart.

…

In front of the Bi Yan Cave.

Ji Guiyi’s face darkened even further upon seeing so many powerful figures arrive.

He knew Zhou Taiyuan.

It was rumored that he had once been in the Celestial Immortal Realm but later provoked strong enemies outside of Nan Zhan, leaving him severely injured, damaging both his celestial body and soul, causing his realm to drop to the peak of the Profound Immortal level.

However, a powerful figure like him, who had once stepped into the Celestial Immortal Realm, had strength that far exceeded the typical peak of the Profound Immortal level, even if his realm had deteriorated.

This situation resembled Ji Guiyi himself; several years ago, he had broken through on the battlefield of the Demon Dragon Sea and entered the Celestial Immortal Realm, but within three days, his base was ambushed, forcing him to fight for half a year before he carved out a bloody path. He had also suffered injuries to both his celestial body and soul, unable to display his true power in the Celestial Immortal Realm.

Otherwise, a single palm strike would be enough to shatter the Bi Yan Cave’s defenses.

“What’s wrong? Afraid to speak? Where did that arrogance and bravado of wanting to fight go?”

Zhou Taiyuan’s eyes were mocking, filled with disdain.

Seeing Ji Guiyi remain silent, Nan Gong Xiu was utterly disappointed, “I told you not to be wishy-washy. Now look, you’re being treated like a worm; had I known you’d be so useless, I would have rather smashed my head against a wall than submit to you!”

Nan Gong Xiu knew that with the arrival of the Zhou Family’s strong figures, the chance for revenge was gone.

After throwing down a few scathing remarks, she walked off into the void, completely disheartened.

Ji Guiyi was deeply provoked by her words, and as a result, his eyes suddenly widened, retrieving an unknown purple pill to swallow.

The next moment, Ji Guiyi’s aura surged, compressing the surrounding space into ripples.

“Boom!”

Without saying a word, Ji Guiyi launched his attack.

His palm shot forward, seemingly ignoring the distance in space, and instantaneously reached Zhou Taiyuan.

Zhou Taiyuan was shocked and quickly activated his defenses.

“Bang!”

To his surprise, Ji Guiyi’s hand shattered the defensive barrier, grasping Zhou Taiyuan by the neck.

“Bold!”

“Crazy man, let go of my family head!”

“Seek death!”

At this moment, hundreds of Zhou Family’s Profound Immortals cried out in panic!

Ji Guiyi’s face twisted in a grimace, ignoring the shouts, he grinned fiercely, “How can an old bastard like you control me, who traverses the battlefield and has killed thousands? I’ll be the first to kill you!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Guiyi tightened his grip.

“Brat, let go of my grandpa!”

At the side, Yao Jianyuan saw this and was filled with urgency. His celestial power erupted first, disregarding the difference in strength, and he activated his celestial sword to rush forward.

But before he could fly more than a meter, the might of the Celestial Immortal crushed his bones, forcibly sending him flying back.

“Jianyuan!”

Seeing this, Yao Qingtian was enraged, veins bulging on his forehead.

“All Elders, heed my command! Kill the Celestial Immortal Sword Array, for the sake of this cave master!”

“As you command!”

On the other side, hundreds of Profound Immortals from the Zhou Family also rushed in, filling the entire Ninefold Flower Mountain with overwhelming murderous intent.

Under the frenzied pressure of hundreds of Profound Immortals, Ji Guiyi inevitably became slightly distracted. Zhou Taiyuan, with his rich experience, seized the opportunity to unleash his celestial might.

“Boom!”

Zhou Taiyuan’s aged body suddenly straightened, a fierce red light bursting out around him, forcefully shaking Ji Guiyi’s hand away.

Ji Guiyi stepped back half a step, his face becoming even more twisted.

“Hahaha.”

He laughed maniacally.

“Good, good, good! All you ants have come to deliver yourselves to death! Today is perfect for me to kill to my heart’s content!”

His wild words, mixed with the might of the Celestial Immortal, created waves of space that forced all the attacking Profound Immortals back!

Even Yao Qingtian and others, who had activated their sword array, were scattered by this overwhelming sound.

This was the gap brought by their realms!

“Not good!”

The next moment, Chen Ansheng clearly felt that he was locked onto by an unmatched celestial consciousness.

When he looked up, he met Ji Guiyi’s feral gaze.

“If not for you, my daughter would not have died. Today, I will not rest until you are shattered and your soul is laid to rest for my daughter’s spirit!”

Ji Guiyi raised his hand and pressed down towards Chen Ansheng.

The torrent of celestial energy shook the space, forcing everyone around to retreat repeatedly, even spitting blood.

Chen Ansheng’s heart jolted, and he immediately sought to activate the transcendence stone.

“Ant, dare you harm me!”

“You are too presumptuous!”

At this critical moment, two defenses, one black and one white, suddenly appeared in front of Chen Ansheng, followed by two distinct voices.

Buzz!

Ji Guiyi’s palm struck the two defenses, yet it was completely absorbed, unable to raise even a ripple.

All present were shocked.

“Who made the move?”

Zhou Taiyuan was also surprised; even he couldn’t sense the presence of those two, presumably they were also Celestial Immortals!

Under normal circumstances, even among celestial palaces and holy lands, Celestial Immortals are rarely seen.

Who would have thought… today, due to a small disturbance, several Celestial Immortal experts had arrived!

This was truly rare in the small Ninefold Flower Mountain.

“Rodent! If you have the guts, don’t cower; come out and fight me!”

Ji Guiyi, knowing he hadn’t been able to kill Chen Ansheng with a single strike, sensed a turn of events and roared angrily.

“Seek death!”

Whoosh!

A black beam of light shot down from the depths of the heavens, swiftly connecting with Ji Guiyi’s position.

Ji Guiyi, having fought on the battlefield for years, had much richer experience in killing than ordinary Celestial Immortals.

As the black light approached, he summoned the celestial sword that had accompanied him through many battles and formed a dense defense around himself.

Not only that, within the rippling space surrounding the blade shadows, a golden sword intent burst forth, slicing directly toward the position of Chen Ansheng.

“Not good! Seal, activate!”

The black light hadn’t expected Ji Guiyi’s combat method to be so viciously crafty that it left him in disgrace.

In a panic, he broke the seal, disregarding his exposed form, and instantly moved to block in front of Chen Ansheng.

“Swallowing the Heavens!”

After the person flashed over, he swept his hand across his chest. Mysterious powers of rules coalesced into a black sphere, blocking the golden sword energy.

As for the others, having sensed the destructive power of that sword energy, they had long since fled.

But!

The block against the golden sword energy was far from over.

With a crash, the space where Chen Ansheng and Yao Jianyuan were collapsed, and terrifying blade shadows darted everywhere.

“Damn it! How can this guy’s realm be unstable, yet his power is so tyrannical!”

The Celestial Immortal who came to rescue was astonished for the first time when facing someone of the same realm.

He felt ashamed!
