Chapter 1046: Chapter 968: The Immortal Sect Still Stands While Mitian City Collapses First!

"What is this power?"

Someone retreated far away from the River of the Curved Realm, then activated a Defensive Vein Skill, and afterwards let out a puzzled shout.

"Something’s wrong! Something’s wrong! This power is wrong!"

Someone else, after activating a Defensive Vein Skill, exclaimed in horror, then stared at the Sword Demon with a look full of shock.

Obviously, he had never imagined such a situation would suddenly occur.

By all reason, the Sword Demon should already be a dead man walking.

There were also people silently staring at the still-surging River of the Curved Realm. Though their faces showed no extra expression, their souls were in turmoil.

Because the one who’d just been blasted into the Qu Realm was standing right beside him.

If the Sword Demon’s strike hadn’t hit that person but him instead...

Just the thought made his heart tremble.

Because he definitely wouldn’t have been able to react, much less control himself to escape under that blow.

Only a dead end!

"Separated by a thousand zhang, yet the power the Sword Demon released could descend in an instant and give no time to react at all. This power is definitely a Celestial Level Vein Skill! Other than a Celestial Level Vein Skill, I can’t think of anything else that could do this."

After he shakily finished these words, the eyes of all the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts one by one turned grim as they looked at the Sword Demon.

Only now did they understand why the Sword Demon dared to charge in alone.

So he had a Celestial Level Vein Skill to rely on!

"Everyone, get away from the River of the Curved Realm!"

"The power of a Celestial Level Vein Skill is too terrifying. Not a single one of us can take it head-on, so we must work as one."

"What, were we not working as one just now?"

"Whether we were or not, you know perfectly well. If you keep hiding in the back on purpose, I’ll definitely go tattling on you to the War Gods!"

"Who are you talking about?"

"Who do you think I’m talking about?"

"Bastard!"

"Enough! The enemy is right in front of us and you still have time for infighting? If we can’t take down the Sword Demon, where does that leave the face of our Battle Division? Haven’t we lost enough face already? Twenty-five people besieging one, and we haven’t even managed to reverse-kill two of them? If this gets out, what face will our Battle Division have left?"

At the same time, the many War Department Vanguard Army soldiers, as well as the people in Mitian City gazing at the battlefield outside the walls, were all quietly watching this scene. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Some marveled at the Sword Demon’s strength.

Charging alone into Mitian City, he had actually killed two of the Battle Division’s Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts.

Some were furious at the Battle Division’s incompetence.

Twenty-five people besieging one, yet two of them still got reverse-killed.

Of course, more people were just shocked.

Shocked at the Sword Demon’s power.

In their hearts, a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted more or less counted as a towering mountain. They revered and feared them.

Yet now, they couldn’t do anything to even a single Immortal Sect expert who had killed his way out of the Curved Realm Passage.

This made a thought sprout in their hearts.

The Battle Division’s Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts... are only so-so!

Once a mountain you revered collapses, it’s harder than ascending to the heavens to make it stand up again.

So this time, the Battle Division would completely lose all face.

Their reputation would be utterly ruined!

They would become a joke inside the entire Heaven-Shrouding Tower.

And at this moment, after slashing twice in a row and using the Angel’s Power to knock two Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts into the Qu Realm, the Sword Demon himself was also roaring with waves of shock inside.

"This power..."

A smug smile slowly climbed up the Sword Demon’s lips.

Tier Four Holy Light Magic really was powerful!

Compared to Tier Three, it was simply heaven and earth apart.

The boost from Angel Descent made him feel like his strength was already infinitely close to the state of Celestial Unrestricted.

Any casual slash using the Angel’s Power now was several times stronger than before!

After glancing at the Battle Division experts who had just finished their internal squabble, the Sword Demon said coldly, "With just you rabble, you also want to charge into the Heaven and Earth Lake?"

As his voice fell, the Cross Blade Intent slashed out again.

After turning into an Angel, the Cross Blade Intent was no longer one black and one white, but pure white.

It was fused with pure Angel’s Power, and also fused with Peak-level Holy Light Blade Intent.

The Cross Blade Intent tore open the long sky and instantly pressed down on several Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts. Feeling that terrifying pressure like a raging ocean, those Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts hurriedly unleashed their strongest Vein Techniques, and activated their Vortex Maps for amplification.

Four hundred-zhang-tall black phantoms condensed behind them. One held a giant spear, the spear like a pillar propping up the heavens; one gripped a Giant Axe, pouring out a surging aura of cleaving mountains; one condensed an enormous black claw, grabbing toward the incoming Cross Blade Intent...

Boom—

Boom—

When they smashed into the Cross Blade Intent, they only managed to block it for the span of a single breath before being cleaved apart.

At the instant their four Vein Techniques were shattered, all four of their faces drastically changed.

"Not good!"

"Even the four of us joining forces still can’t block this Celestial Level Vein Skill!"

In the instant their faces changed, Vein Techniques suddenly surged in from all directions, smashing toward the surroundings of the Cross Blade Intent.

Only when nineteen Earth Level Upper Grade School Vein Skills came crashing down did they finally manage to shake the Cross Blade Intent apart.

Seeing that they were saved, the four finally let out a long breath, their souls still quivering.

But just as they drew that breath, they saw a sky-covering tide of Cross Blade Intent pressing over from the other end of the heavens, like storm clouds about to crush a city.

The twenty-three of them simultaneously stared over, their Meridian Gates shaking in unison.

Bang—

Bang—

Bang—

"All together!"

With a bellow from one person, all twenty-three began madly unleashing Vein Techniques, bombarding the overwhelming Cross Blade Intent that was sweeping in.

The sky suddenly changed color.

All sorts of Vein Techniques covered half the heavens.

Countless people smacked their tongues in awe, unable to stop themselves from exclaiming.

Although the battle was happening in the sky, the colossal shocks from the Vein Technique clash between twenty-four people made the earth keep trembling like an earthquake.

On many houses at the edge of Mitian City, ferocious cracks would suddenly appear on the walls from time to time, startling the people inside into rushing outside.

"One man fighting twenty-three Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts and still not falling into the disadvantage—this expert from the Immortal Sect is way too strong, right?"

"Even the Battle Division’s War Gods shouldn’t be this strong, right? Even if the Battle Division’s War Gods can be invincible under Heaven Without Forbidden, in the end two fists can’t beat four hands. The limit of fighting same-realm experts they can withstand is at most around ten, right?"

"You still have the mind to care about that? If this keeps up, Mitian City might be destroyed. We haven’t even managed to destroy the Immortal Sect yet, and Mitian City will be the first to go..."

"If Mitian City really gets destroyed, the Battle Division and the Heaven-Shrouding Tower will lose all face. The entire Heaven-Gazing Gorge will probably laugh at us."

"What about those five Battle Division War Gods?"

"Why aren’t they making a move yet?"

"If they still don’t step in, Mitian City will be ruined."

As those words fell—

There was a sudden cracking sound from the gate of Mitian City; a crack as wide as a finger split open, then started spreading, getting wider and wider.

Just as more and more cracks appeared, a streak of Holy Light Blade Intent accidentally fell right onto the gate of Mitian City.

Boom!

The city gate.

The people near the gate.

All of them were wiped out under that single slash.

The Immortal Sect not yet destroyed!

Mitian City’s gate collapsed first!

From this moment on, the Battle Division and Mitian City were completely reduced to a laughingstock for the entire Heaven-Gazing Gorge.

For a hundred years.

For a thousand years.

They would be mocked without end.

This scene was also transmitted by a Black Shadow back to the All-Knowing Tower. Watching this, Chen Xie had already drafted the headline for the very first Heaven and Earth Lake issue of the Immortal Daily in his heart.
