Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3523: Slain in a Single Strike

“Brother Xiang Shan, I have something that I need to report to you. Before the Star Clustered Ancestor of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens perished, he actually left behind some reserves for the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in secret.” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor cupped his fist at the Immortal Emperor of the Daemon race. He was extremely polite.

When he heard that, the daemon Immortal Emperor referred to as Xiang Shan frowned.

But before Xiang Shan could ask anything, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor proactively took out two Space Rings and described everything he had gone through in the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens in detail. “These two Space Rings contain what the Star Clustered Ancestor left behind. I managed to obtain them through a stroke of fortune. Otherwise, if these items really did end up in the ends of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, that would be equivalent to giving them the confidence to fend off the four organisations in the surroundings.”

Xiang Shan immediately sent the senses of his soul inside the two Space Rings and smiled. “Not bad, not bad. Brother Righteous Bearing, you’ve done extremely well with this. Once the ancestor returns from the sacred clan, I’ll definitely report this to him. Our sect will never mistreat anyone who has made any contributions to our sect.”

“Then thank you for that, brother Xiang Shan.” The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s smile gradually grew wider. He passed the two Space Rings over to Xiang Shan and said, “Take a look at what you need, brother Xiang Shan. If you need anything, feel free to take them.”

“Hahaha, thank you for that, brother Righteous Bearing. In that case, I won’t hold back.” The senses of Xiang Shan’s soul entered the Space Ring. “The Great Spatial Sword Formation is exceptional in power. Unfortunately, the sword formation is incomplete. It’s only half complete. Looks like the Star Clustered Ancestor suffered from an accident before the sword formation was completely forged.”

“Apart from the incomplete Great Spatial Sword Formation, there’s nothing in here that really interests me. There’s not even a single high quality God Tier pill. Looks like the Star Clustered Ancestor was still holding back when he left behind resources for the sect.”

“It’s a pity that the incomplete formation is still too weak despite possessing some of its full strength. So be it. I’ll take this Great Expansion Sword Formation then for the sect. After all, this formation requires fifty Immortal Monarchs to unleash its power. Even if you take it, your Righteous Union clan can’t use it.”

“Hahaha, brother Xiang Shan is an esteemed great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. With the height that you stand at, these resources obviously can’t interest you. The Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants is the Great Expansion Sword Formation’s best place of belonging,” the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor smiled as he said.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened. A sharp strand of sword Qi silently appeared, directly shooting towards the back of Xiang Shan’s head.

As a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, Xiang Shan immediately sensed the sneak attack from behind him. His face changed drastically as a bone-chilling coldness rose up from his heart. He tried to dodge in a hurry.

However, the unexpected sword Qi was imbued with the Laws of Space, so it moved far too quickly. It instantly crossed the distance between them, such that even Xiang Shan with his mighty strength as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor was completely incapable of responding in time.

Spurt!

The resplendent sword Qi shone with dazzling light, plunging into the back of Xiang Shan’s head mercilessly before emerging from his forehead.

In an instant, Xiang Shan’s entire head had been pierced. His soul shattered, having been completely and utterly destroyed.

Gazing at the brilliant streak of light that emerged from Xiang Shan’s forehead, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was dazed at first. His expression soon changed drastically as his eyes narrowed violently.

In the next moment, he fled into the distance without any hesitation. Overcome with fright, he did not even linger for a moment longer to see who Xiang Shan’s murderer was.

He was aware that while Xiang Shan was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor like him, if they actually fought, Xiang Shan would only be stronger.

In the end, even someone as powerful as Xiang Shan had been instantly assassinated, unable to offer any resistance. They left the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor filled with shock.

Jian Chen’s figure silently appeared in space. He wore the Divine Armour of Heavenflight as the space around him was distorted, leaving him extremely blurry.

If it were possible to see through the blurry space and view his expression, it was quite obvious that the appearance he used right now did not belong to him either.

He was extremely prudent. Even when he hid away and carried out an assassination, he disguised himself to prevent figures of exceptional powers from turning back time and seeing the past.

With a wave of his hand, Jian Chen immediately stowed Xiang Shan’s corpse away. Afterwards, he erased everything here with the methods of an Immortal Emperor and immediately chased after the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor.

Up ahead, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor fled furiously. His Laws of Space at the Fifth Heavenly Layer of Immortal Emperor gave him speed on par with Immortal Exalts. In under a minute, he had traversed almost half of the Reverent Observance Heaven.

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor did not directly return to his clan. Instead, he fled into the mountains before teleporting into a natural cavern inside a mountain with the Laws of Space. He cast down a concealment formation as quickly as he could before erasing his presence completely. He remained in the formation without moving at all.

“Xiang Shan is dead. Xiang Shan is actually dead. He was assassinated before my eyes by a mysterious expert. He’s a great elder of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. He enjoys an extremely great status in the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Who exactly is the person behind this? They’re even bold enough to touch an Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. Don’t they know the power of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants?”

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was extremely stern inside the formation. His face grew more and more pale. He understood far too well what the death of a great elder from the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants meant.

This was a mess too great for him to clean up.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a rumble. The concealment formation around the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was immediately destroyed. A blurry figure appeared before him.

It was Jian Chen.

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s expression changed drastically. He continued to flee with the Laws of Space without saying anything.

But at this moment, a colossal strand of sword Qi suddenly slashed down, destroying the space and reducing it to darkness. The space pulsed with great instability.

In this shattered space, the Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor was unable to flee with the Laws of Space for a moment.

“I’d advise you to give up on fleeing in front of me. It’ll all be a waste of energy,” Jian Chen said. Under his intentional disguise, his voice sounded like an elderly old man’s, filled with a sense of feebleness.

The Righteous Bearing Immortal Emperor’s expression changed several times. After a short moment of conflict, he gave up on fleeing. He bowed politely towards Jian Chen with his fist clasped and said, “I am Righteous Bearing. May I ask how I can be of service to you, senior?”
