Chapter 141: Chapter 9: Smiting an Earth Immortal, a Life-and-Death Crisis

Carrying his shoulder pole, Yang Erlang wiped the sweat from his brow and turned to Li Changgeng, who was lazily waving a cattail fan beside him.

"Taibai, do you think a fight is going to break out?"

"Most likely." Li Changgeng nodded with certainty, slowly waving his fan. "But it probably won’t happen inside the town. That young man will leave on his own."

He paused and yawned.

"He may bear a striking resemblance to *that one*, but in the end, he’s not him... We just need to watch from a distance. As long as Gouxian Town and that mountain tomb aren’t affected, they can fight however they please..."

As he spoke, the white-haired and bearded old man casually pointed a finger at a majestic green mountain in the distance, a look of leisurely contentment on his face.

Yang Erlang nodded silently. ’He has a point,’ he thought, and decided not to bother with it anymore. He hoisted his shoulder pole and went back to work.

「Meanwhile.」

On the large bluestone slab, Lu Xuan’s eye twitched. He glanced at the extremely rigid Celestial Human in the sky, then answered his phone.

"Hello, Uncle Yan. This had better be important."

"Is that any way to talk, you brat?" On the other end of the line, Yan Huang sounded a little annoyed before continuing, "The one who caused that huge scene in Wutong City—was it a friend of yours? Or one of your elders?"

He paused, but didn’t wait for Lu Xuan’s reply, continuing on his own:

"We saw him on the satellite images. He went into the Kongtong Mountain Range and is hiding in the forest... That’s not a smart move. He can’t hide from a True Immortal’s Divine Thought scan at all; in fact, it makes him stick out. If you can contact him, you’d better tell him to find a different hiding spot, or just run for it..."

Lu Xuan listened in silence, his eye twitching fiercely. He spoke, his voice weak with exasperation:

"Uncle Yan... is that all?"

"You brat... What’s wrong?" Old Yan frowned, sensing something was amiss.

Lu Xuan said, speechless:

"Thanks a lot. But that person is me. I just found a good hiding spot, and then you call... There are a few Celestial Humans staring right at me. I gotta go. Hanging up."

With that, he silently hung up the phone, leaving a completely baffled Yan Huang on the other end, looking around in a daze.

’Who did that brat say it was?’

’Himself??’

Yan Huang was incredulous, but his expression quickly turned grim. ’This is bad,’ he thought, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to redirect the satellites to survey the Kongtong Mountain Range and its surroundings.

Just as he was issuing a series of commands, high above Gouxian Town...

Four or five Celestial Humans secretly exchanged glances, large beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads.

This town was remote, but according to the information they’d reviewed before coming, it was isolated from the modern world, with no technology or similar products...

’So who’s that person down there answering a phone?’

One Celestial Human recalled the video he had seen: twelve Great Suns falling in succession, an Earth Immortal director fleeing in disarray...

He spoke quietly:

"Did you guys hear anything?"

"Hmm... I didn’t. You?"

"Me neither. Should we keep searching ahead?"

"Right, right, let’s go."

The four or five Celestial Humans exchanged these words with dead-serious expressions. Then, moving like startled rabbits, they kicked up a sudden gust of wind, trying to flee the area as if their lives depended on it.

On the bluestone slab, Lu Xuan let out a soft sigh. His face transformed, shifting from the grimy appearance of a townsman back to his original features. He slowly stood up straight.

"Since you’re already here, why the rush to leave?"

He shot into the air. Without even manifesting his Spiritual Will, he attacked domineeringly. The Supreme Jade Steps trembled, and a blazing radiance converged, forming a Long Spear!

SCHLICK!

The Long Spear, imbued with the might of the Slaying Sword Form, pierced through a fleeing Celestial Human, pinning him brutally to the cliff face of a high mountain. Blood flowed as his aura rapidly weakened.

Sensing the Slaying Sword Form within him strengthen by a sliver, Lu Xuan’s expression grew slightly solemn. Ever since his Three Masters had tempered him, it seemed that killing with the Slaying Sword Form would nourish his Sword Qi, and even slightly enhance his Physique and spirit.

But the increase was minuscule, far less than what he gained from one Creation of the Bodhi Fruit Skin. He hadn’t even noticed it until he had consecutively slain five Celestial Humans with the Slaying Sword Form back in Wutong City.

Now, having confirmed it, it seemed there really was a beneficial feedback loop... ’The Dao of Slaying... is rooted in killing?’

Lu Xuan didn’t dwell on it. The gain was too faint to matter, so he paid it little mind. Still, he didn’t let the opportunity go to waste. He deliberately refrained from using [Heaven and Earth Inversion], relying solely on the Slaying Sword Form, unleashing streams of Sword Qi that tore through the sky!

The other four Celestial Humans were scared out of their wits and fled like madmen, but one after another, they were blasted apart by the Sword Qi imbued with the True Meaning of Slaying Immortals. A rain of blood fell from the sky.

They all perished before they could even cry out for help.

Lu Xuan scanned his surroundings. With his Divine Sense, he perceived that the aura of the True Immortal—an aura as vast as the Celestial Vault—was not nearby. It seemed to be speeding toward the Central Plains Province.

Making a snap decision, he sped off in the opposite direction, creating a series of sonic booms as he broke through the heavy clouds.

This time, however, too many people had come from the Sakata Heavy Industries Headquarters.

Ten Earth Immortal directors and dozens of Celestial Humans were conducting a carpet search of the area. He had only flown for a dozen miles or so before he ran into several more Celestial Humans!

These Celestial Humans acted far more decisively. They each vibrated their diaphragms, blasting out a wave of sound that expanded in all directions:

"He’s here!!"

The voices of several Celestial Humans resonated together, exploding outwards and sweeping across dozens of miles in an instant. All nearby Celestial Humans, Earth Immortals, and others were alerted! 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Lu Xuan’s eyelids twitched violently, a ferocious light flashing across his face. He attacked without hesitation. Given the emergency, he didn’t restrict himself to the Slaying Sword Form, instead unleashing all kinds of Great Slaughter Techniques at once!

There were no High-ranking Celestial Humans among this group. In a single exchange, they all plummeted from the sky, accompanied by a trail of blood droplets!
