Chapter 449: Chop!

Hegemonic Immortal Sword and fourfold speed!

With uncanny speed, the blade flung the spear down yonder while also drawing blood from Ninth Crown Prince’s mouth.

In the instant he evaded the blow, the saber punched through Ninth’s stomach and forced the Nirvana’s fire to scatter.

Ninth raged, “Impossible!”

Yet Chen Ming chose to stop, turn around and wielded the blade two-handed, “The grim reaper has come.”

He slashed down angle, and Ninth’s head fell from up above. Chen Ming was swift to trample it in mid-roll, turning it into a gory mess.

“Ding! You killed Ninth Crown Prince. Reward: one million spiritual knowledge, 0.1 million fame.”

I say, Ninth is worthy quite the pretty penny.

Three hits reaped a life.

Heavenly Court’s Ninth Crown Prince had fallen.

Chen Ming waved Nine Year Cicada in a flourish, “Anyone else?”

The Earth Immortals’ hearts were in fear’s grip, yet still charged, “With Ninth Crown Prince dead, we have to kill him. If we don’t, the Heavenly Court will end us!”

Waves upon waves a.s.saulted Chen Ming with all kinds of weapons.

He cursed, “Dammit! This wasn’t in the script! I forgot about this trap. Even if I killed Ninth and cowered them, it also worked to push them over their fear. Such blunder!”

He attacked relying only on Nine Year Cicada’s speed and his body. He couldn’t suffer to waste spiritual power now.

Chen Ming’s blade moved to and fro, felling an Earth Immortal at each swing.

This insane saber art boosted his speed to unseen heights. Though these fools couldn’t hurt him, he’d had to keep this up for a month if he wanted to kill his way through!

He had to clear a path. Charging left and rus.h.i.+ng right, Chen Ming hacked them again and again.

However, once he downed a hundred or so, another batch jumped him. Chen Ming’s slaughter never ceased as he was thinking.

The four Domains and Crownless a.s.sembly must know by now of my presence. Even if I am strong, if they keep sending fodder, I’ll be wrung dry!

“Blast it!”

It’s not like I can stop killing either. At the time of my tribulation, tens of thousands of them will shoot me full of arrows. Who could survive that?

The Mortal Tribulation unveiled it’s savage side, leaving no escape for Chen Ming.

He kept this pace for a while until he heard a shout, “Yan Mountain Fifth Sect Leader, Wan Baqian, is here. Who dares harm my Master!”

Chen Ming whipped his head to see Wan Baqian leading a hundred thousand Earth Immortals on a killing spree.

The armies clashed and magical arts flew. Chen Ming was happy,

What’s going on? Why is Wan Baqian here, and when did he get a hundred thousand Earth Immortals?

Not seeing them for years, now I find my disciples are all grown up!

Hundreds of thousands of immortals fought in a bitter battle. Chen Ming hacked those in front and saw Wan Baqian leading the cavalry to the rescue.

After ending a few dozens more, Wan Baqian reached him, “Master, second senior brother sealed the entrance. Hurry to your tribulation and leave this to me. Don’t spend your spiritual power here!”

Chen Ming regarded his disciple. This Wordless Upheaval was for him alone and he needed to finish it fast if he wanted to lessen the casualties of his disciples. Once he pa.s.sed it, the Sacred Mountain would disappear.

Wan Baqian prompted, “Deserter, get your team and take Master out of here!”

The deserter rushed in front of Chen Ming and roared. “Brothers, the payment is made and the time has come to deliver!”

He ordered his men to help Chen Ming get through this and towards Sky-crossing Bridge.

The explosion of events on Sacred Mountain startled the world. They saw for themselves how dreadful it was up there, “The offender is Star Dragon Crown Prince!”

“What Star Dragon, he’s Yan Mountain Mountain Lord, Chen Ming!”

“Ninth Crown Prince and Chen Ming are fighting!”

“What! I thought I saw Ninth Crown Prince falling!”

“Three hits! Just three and Ninth Crown Prince is dead!”

“Why is he so strong?”

Heavenly Court.

The Emperor descended on the throne like a divine light from above in, “Who can tell me what’s going on? Why the abrupt court a.s.sembly?”

A prince said, “Emperor, please restrain your grief.”

The Emperor slapped the throne, smas.h.i.+ng it into a corner, “What the h.e.l.l happened?”

Rage billowed. He didn’t want to hear ‘restrain your grief’. Another prince said, “It’s the offender, he killed Ninth Crown Prince.”

The Emperor barked, “Impossible! Little nine is connected with our Tree of Martyrs. His soul should return to Heavenly Court if he fell!”

“The offender calls himself Yan Mountain Mountain Lord. He wields cicada’s fiend blade, Veiled Water.”

He gasped in shock, “I should have known. A race who once held the power to face the four seas and dominated everything, fell and now it wants to return? Send down my order. Spare no expense in gathering all Earth Immortals to go after him. I want his life!”

“If we mobilize them all, it will leave us open for the other Domains and Crownless a.s.sembly!”

The Emperor snapped, “They know what cicada means, what that fiend blade stands for. For cicada and Wordless Upheaval to appear on one person can only mean one thing, disaster.

“Don’t forget, Void’s Crown Prince, Moon Palace’s Crown Prince, Jade Lake’s head princess as well as Crownless a.s.sembly’s four Paragons are all on Sacred Mountain.

“They will do the same as us!”

The death of Ninth Crown Prince shook Heavenly Court and struck fear in the other Domains, as well as Crownless a.s.sembly.

Jade Lake.

Princes were rus.h.i.+ng to Jiu Qiansui’s residence.

They found Jiu Qiansui with his back turned beneath a peach tree, “Head princess can’t die, but the offender must. Do you understand?”

They bowed, “We obey!”

As soon as they left, an order was given, “All Earth Immortals are to take Sacred Mountain by the storm. We must protect head princess. The offender must die!”

“Spare no expense! We must rescue head princess and kill the offender!”
