Free Web NovelChapter 2523: Chapter 2523: Something’s Not Right
In the dense forest, under a towering hundred-foot-tall giant tree, Fang Bai supported himself with the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, coolly watching the Red Ape Immortal Emperor who had landed on the ground.
"Let me see your Immortal Artifact!"
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor thought of the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, and as soon as he landed, he reached out with one hand toward where Fang Bai stood, trying to capture the blade.
His grasp in the void generated a powerful suction force; he expected the blade to come to him effortlessly, yet it remained unmoved in Fang Bai’s hand.
"Strange!"
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor muttered, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. Suddenly advancing, he appeared in front of Fang Bai and reached out to seize the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade directly with his bare hands.
Just as he extended his hand, his vision suddenly blurred, and it seemed as if a towering figure appeared before Fang Bai, instantly bringing an intense sense of danger crashing toward him.
In a panic, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor swiftly flew backward, not taking time to look closely.
"Buzz!"
The sound of a sonic boom pierced the air as a fierce blade aura shattered the void, plowing a deep trench in the ground and slicing toward the retreating Red Ape Immortal Emperor.
Affected by this fierce blade aura, the surrounding giant trees snapped and fell, scattering branches and leaves.
"A high-rank Immortal Emperor realm expert!"
The blade aura rushed forth like lightning, swiftly growing larger in the eyes of the Red Ape Immortal Emperor. From its momentum and contained power, he realized the hand behind it far exceeded his own strength.
The first thought of the Red Ape Immortal Emperor was that he had been tricked.
"This time, the remnants of Emperor’s Palace that appeared surely aren’t just one! First, they use a disciple at the Half-Step Immortal Emperor Realm to attract disciples from various top powers to chase them. Then, they lead those disciples into this area and unleash Emperor’s Palace experts... No wonder those disciples from top powers never returned; they were all likely slaughtered by these Emperor’s Palace disciples! How despicable!"
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor thought swiftly.
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor could easily slay a Half-Step Immortal Emperor realm disciple from Emperor’s Palace, but facing an immortal who surpasses him by a small realm, he was absolutely no match.
So, upon realizing a high-rank Immortal Emperor realm expert was attacking him, he didn’t bother to see who it was, immediately thinking of escape.
The valley showing signs of the Ancient Battlefield was ten thousand miles away, and he could escape there quickly by expending some immortal power and performing several instantaneous movement techniques.
By that time, disciples from various top powers would surely join forces to slay these Emperor’s Palace disciples.
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor’s thoughts were optimistic, but reality plunged him into despair.
The immortal who had slashed out the blade aura had unleashed a pressure when he attacked, imprisoning the space around him, slowing his movements.
Unless he could swiftly break free from this oppressive imprisonment and evade the blade aura’s range, he would have to face the incoming slash.
The blade aura arrived in an instant; the Red Ape Immortal Emperor had no time nor ability to escape the pressure or the blade’s range, so he had to grit his teeth, summon the Immortal Domain, and offer the Profound Iron Hammer to withstand the blow.
"Boom!"
The blade aura struck the Profound Iron Hammer, sounding like the beating of a drum.
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor felt a surge of powerful immortal energy pouring into the hammer. Although the hammer absorbed much of it, the remaining force still sent him crashing backward.
Thus, using this force, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor accelerated his backward flight, preparing to use the instantaneous movement technique to escape.
Luckily for him, the Profound Iron Hammer took the hit without any damage.
"Truly worthy of a superior Immortal Emperor level Immortal Artifact, its defensive capabilities are impressive!"
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor felt more confident than before.
In his retreat, he hastily glanced at the attacking immortal, finding him tall with an incredible presence—indeed a high-rank Immortal Emperor realm expert.
"Something seems off..."
With sharp eyes, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor noticed something odd even in a quick glance.
For instance, the immortal’s face was rigid, his gaze dull; surprisingly, no sign of vitality was detected from him...
However, just as this thought emerged in his mind, the sound of thunder roared, another intense sense of danger cascading from above, more overwhelming than the previous blade aura.
"Another high-rank Immortal Emperor realm expert!"
Feeling the powerful immortal aura in the threat overhead, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor looked horrified, his heart hopeless.
With two high-rank Immortal Emperor realm experts joining forces, how could he possibly escape?
Over the centuries, the eight top powers relentlessly hunted Emperor’s Palace remnants, causing the palace’s leadership to nearly collapse. Unexpectedly, two high-rank Immortal Emperor realm experts from Emperor’s Palace appeared here simultaneously.
An irreconcilable blood feud exists between Emperor’s Palace and the eight top powers. Now, with two high-rank Immortal Emperor realm experts attacking, it seems evident they are determined to kill him!
"I refuse to accept this!"
In despair, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor roared loudly, raising the Profound Iron Hammer to block the descending lightning.
The arm-thick bolt of lightning carried thunderous might, crashing onto the Profound Iron Hammer.
The power of thunder is the most terrifying destructive force in the world.
An all-out strike by a high-rank Immortal Emperor realm expert versed in Thunder Immortal Technique Secrets is incomprehensibly powerful.
Crack!
The lightning emitted a terrifying sound as it struck solidly on the Profound Iron Hammer defending the Red Ape Immortal Emperor’s head.
While the hammer appeared unscathed after the previous hit, in truth, its internal structure was already destabilized by the strong immortal force’s shock. Now, after a more powerful lightning strike, the hammer displayed a hair-thin crack.
This seemingly insignificant crack caused pain to flash on the Red Ape Immortal Emperor’s face; he held back from spewing blood.
One calamity hadn’t ended when another began.
The sound of slicing air echoed again; the same immortal slashed out a second blade aura.
The Red Ape Immortal Emperor had no choice but to continue using the Profound Iron Hammer to defend.
This time, the blade aura impacted the hammer, deepening and lengthening its crack further, sending the Red Ape Immortal Emperor tumbling even farther backward.
Before he could land from his backward flight, with a "crack!" a brilliant lightning bolt appeared again, directly smashing him into the ground, embedding him several feet deep.
Smoke and dust rose from the pit; as they cleared, the bloodied Red Ape Immortal Emperor was seen curled up, holding the Profound Iron Hammer, looking on the verge of death. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
With two high-rank Immortal Emperor realm experts attacking from both sides, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor was heavily wounded in an instant, losing his fighting capability.
"You remnants of Emperor’s Palace... won’t have a good death! You... how are you?"
Seeing a figure appear at the edge of the pit, the Red Ape Immortal Emperor wiped the blood off his face and spoke resentfully, but upon clearly seeing the figure’s features, he exclaimed.
He never expected the immortal holding the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade was Pill Master Fang from the Demon-Slaying Immortal City.
