Chapter 448: Chen Ming’s Disciples
Wan Baqian was haggling with a customer when the sky turned to blood. His instinct told him something was coming, “Master is here. The Wordless Upheaval has descended.”
Wan Baqian waved, “No deal, we’re closed for today. ”
He looked at the shop across from him closing its doors. Chen Ling’er hurried over, “Master is about to begin his tribulation. Get ready.”
Wan Baqian rushed outside the tavern behind his courtyard. With the street stretching for ten li and only taverns on each side, Wan Baqian stood in the middle of it as he jerked a little bell.
Earth Immortals poured into the streets, and all wore black. It was a clear proof of who they are, not from the four Domains, and neither from the Crownless Assembly.
On this rare occasion, Wan Baqian wore an armor, “Set out!”
He rode the immortal crane his second senior brother gifted him as the hundred thousand Earth Immortals swarmed behind.
Having raised a hundred thousand immortal beasts, Wan Baqian could do the same with Earth Immortals.
Before the Sky-crossing Bridge, the four Domains’ geniuses glared in fury at one person only. Ninth snapped, “Yan Shengxiao, you have some explaining to do!”
“It wasn’t me who decided his identity. It has nothing to do with me. At worst, we just need to kill him. You’re telling me you’re scared?”
Moon Palace’s Crown Prince barked, “Enough! All that matters is that we kill Chen Ming.”
Void’s Crown Prince interjected, “What of Crownless Assembly’s men?”
Jin Xiangyu said, “Who knows what they’re hatching.”
Ninth added, “We need to assemble the troops and end him!”
Void’s Crown Prince said, “It will only work to weaken him. This place must not be left unguarded. You understand, don’t you, to people with our power, any amount of Earth Immortals won’t do a thing.”
Moon Palace’s Crown Prince said, “Here’s how we do this. Ninth Crown Prince, you will lead your troops and surround Chen Ming. The offender is here and our four Domains must move also. Chen Ming will have no way of going through this world’s Earth Immortals. Even if we have to wring him, well make sure to squeeze the life out of him!”
Yan Mountain.
Li Suyi and Ling Xian exchanged a glance, “Master has started.”
Li Suyi said, “We must stop the four Great Immortal Domains’ forces from gathering!”
“We’ve prepared for this. From this point on, it is war. As the instigators of one, we prepared it.”
“It is ready and all that’s left is to move it.”
3,600 disciples and a hundred thousand immortal beasts stood before them. They’ve planned this for a while now, as glints flashed from the spiritual metal on the beasts.
Ling Xian raised his arm and shouted, “They want to kill our Master. So tell me, what is our answer?”
Roars burst in unison, “Kill them!”
Ling Xian laughed, “Good, with Master away and head senior sister in seclusion, I have the final say on Yan Mountain. Yan Mountain Lords, to war!”
The beast horde took to the sky and straight for the Sacred Mountain. Ling Xian was leading the charge and everywhere he looked saw more and more Earth Immortals entering. He responded with Conquering Immortals Art. The Arsenal Kingdom flew from his hand and left only broken corpses in his wake.
Li Suyi led his own team of Lords and commanded, “Deploy the city!”
They got one ready years ago and only needed to move it. With 600 tool refiners, building a city in three years was nothing.
The Yan Mountain Lords set to work at the entrance. Walls sprung up and a city took shape.
Ling Xian stood a distance from the entrance, moving his hand without stop and killing each new Earth Immortal.
Li Suyi said, “Second senior brother, I’ll leave this to you. Junior brother will go and help Master.”
“Go. With me here not even an army shall pass.”
Chen Ming laughed at the incoming swarm of Earth Immortals. Stars glittered on his back and deployed his array. None but peak Earth Immortals could withstand the dreadful pressure. The rest were dust.
3,000 stars took the shape of a dragon and carried Chen Ming towards the Sky-crossing Bridge.
It was now when an army came into view, with Ninth in the lead. He griped his Golden Crow Spear and faced him, “Chen Ming, I never would’ve thought it’d be you!”
Chen Ming chuckled, “Does it matter in this late hour?”
“You shouldn’t have yearned for Heavenly Dao’s power!”
Chen Ming was blunt, “I didn’t really. Yet in a bizarre twist of circumstances, I trained the Limitless Dao Body. I didn’t foresee this!”
“Your death is the only way to settle this war. Show me what an offender is made of, show me what gives you the right to challenge the world’s Earth Immortals!”
Chen Ming’s hand landed on Nine Year Cicada, “You will all know.”
His eyes throbbed with killing intent. King Slayer Aura lvl 3 activated.
Chen Ming saw the red dot on Ninth’s body moved to his head. Quite smart to change positions, yet futile. Don’t think Immortal Master Chen’s eye for slaughter won’t find it just ’cause you shifted it.
Chen Ming drove the Star Dragon towards Ninth. The prince said, “Fire! Shoot him down!”
The rain of arrows blotted out the sky and knocked into the Allheaven Stellar Array.
Chen Ming dispelled the array since the drain on spiritual power wasn’t something even he could sustain for long. He followed with the Eight Dragon-ascending Steps.
One step brought him before Ninth. With a firm grip on Nine Year Cicada, he let loose.
Ninth once fought him and new of his skills. The Blazing Sun rose from his body casting a bright light as he met him with his spear.
“Die!”
