Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 425: Chapter 424 The Affairs of Immortals, Resolved in the Heavens

Su Yang took a deep breath, looking at the Smiling Buddha with a face full of shock.

This was actually the seventh-ranked expert on the Evil List, which was said to be on par with the Heavenly List. Experts of the same rank had no difference in strength. In other words, the monk’s strength might not be much less than that of Ye Jiansheng!

No wonder he possessed such strength to continuously send people to fight against Su Yang. With his ability, taking Su Yang’s life was no trouble at all!

The Smiling Buddha’s expression was stern as he said in a deep voice, ”Ye Jiansheng, the matter between us must have an outcome. Today, let’s settle it once and for all!”

Ye Jiansheng laughed, ”Fine, where do you want to fight?”

The Smiling Buddha coldly replied, ”As we are both Terrestrial Immortals, matters of the Immortals should naturally be resolved in the heavens!”

”Then let’s resolve it in the heavens,” Ye Jiansheng said with a light smile, stroking Ye Wantong’s hair, then slapping the Sword Box on his back, from which a Longsword immediately flew out.

The Longsword stood suspended in the air, settling around Ye Wantong.

”With this sword here, no one can harm you!” Ye Jiansheng said with a laugh.

The Smiling Buddha sneered, ”Ye Jiansheng, you dare to be so distracted while fighting me. I think today you really won’t survive!”

”Father, we won’t be in trouble!” Ye Wantong said worriedly, ”You just concentrate on fighting him!”

”No matter,” Ye Jiansheng laughed heartily, ”To slay such a petty villain, why need I exert my full strength?”

Having said that, Ye Jiansheng soared into the sky, stepping on the flying sword and ascending to the heavens, quickly disappearing into the distance.

From the sky, a hearty voice fell, ”The green blade sings in the box, the sheath released, three feet of Cold Light. It drinks the blood of thousands of miles, shining glory upon ninety thousand mountains.”

Su Yang’s heart trembled, this was the very verse that Ye Jiansheng had recited when he first saw him!

He hadn’t felt much at the time, but listening to it today, he was suddenly filled with awe.

One man, one sword, ranging across the heavens and earth. A cultivator who could reach the level of Ye Jiansheng truly deserved to be called carefree between heaven and earth!

”Pretentiousness!” the Smiling Buddha huffed coldly, swinging his long sleeve as he too soared into the sky.

Behind him, a black aura loomed faintly, forming the visage of a black Buddha, as if a demonic Buddha.

The crowd around them watched on, utterly astonished.

If Su Yang’s ascent a moment ago were the moves of an Immortal, then Ye Jiansheng and the Smiling Buddha were true Immortals!

No sooner had the two left, then suddenly, two figures descended from the sky.

One with white hair and beard, his face withered, was none other than the Divine Sovereign Gwu Jihan. His battle with Ye Jiansheng had drained too much of his energy, and now he looked like an old man in his seventies or eighties.

The other, pale-faced with one hand severed and covered in blood, his eyes filled with deadly intent, was none other than the Assassination Star.

The moment he touched the ground, Gwu Jihan reached out with a vicious smile towards Ye Wantong, ”Perfect, I can use you to replenish my depleted energy!”

However, before his hand could touch Ye Wantong, the Longsword suspended behind her immediately slashed down.

Gwu Jihan’s expression changed in an instant, immediately transforming his claw into a palm, and heavily slapped it down onto the longsword. However, the longsword stood immovable like a mountain, while he was forced to retreat several steps, almost staggering and falling to the ground.

Assassination Star furrowed his brows and said somberly, ”Even Sword Saint leaves such a sword to protect, it seems it’s impossible to kill the Ye Family now!”

Having taken a disadvantage, Gwu Jihan was furious and through gritted teeth said, ”Hmph, daring to be distracted in battle against the Smiling Buddha, today I’ll see how he dies.”

As he spoke, Gwu Jihan once again reached out and directly grabbed two young girls and brought them before him.

It was a coincidence; these two young girls were the very ones who had been with Hu Shao and had incessantly mocked Su Yang. Having just witnessed Su Yang’s strength, they were shocked to the point of being dumbstruck. However, they had not expected such misfortune to fall upon them.

As the two young girls were held in Gwu Jihan’s hands, their bodies trembled continuously, their complexions turned crimson, and they moaned without stopping, as though they were experiencing immense pleasure. But soon, their bodies began to wither, and their moans turned into screams of agony.

In the blink of an eye, the two girls became two dried-up corpses, and Gwu Jihan’s white hair turned to black, his appearance rejuvenating to that of a man in his forties—it was truly miraculous.

The crowd around them, watching all this, was utterly shocked. This was especially true for Hu Shao and the others, who were so frightened they wet themselves. Had Gwu Jihan been slightly more inclined, wouldn’t it have been them he had grabbed?

What Hu Shao and the others didn’t know was that the Secret Technique Gwu Jihan cultivated was cold and required the essence blood of females, he had no intention of targeting men. His choice to take the girls beside them was mainly because the two young girls were youthful, and their essence blood was vibrant, perfectly suited for Gwu Jihan’s purpose.

Having absorbed enough, Gwu Jihan rose into the air and scornfully said, ”Sword Saint, fighting two gets lonely. How about, today we try three Immortals against one, how does that sound!”

Assassination Star also vanished on the spot, no one saw where he had gone, as if he had never appeared.

Everyone present was in shock, and Ye Wantong anxiously said, ”Are they... are they going to gang up against my father?”

Ye Zhenying’s brows were deeply furrowed, the Smiling Buddha is ranked seventh on the evil list, his strength nearly equal to Sword Saint’s. The outcome of their battle was already hard to predict. Now, with Gwu Jihan and Assassination Star, two Earth Immortals joining in, this battle was going to be very difficult for Sword Saint.

Moreover, in such a situation, Sword Saint also had to be distracted to protect the people of the Ye Family, and that was the most troublesome part. Did Sword Saint still have a chance in this battle?

On the ground, Su Yang sat cross-legged, silently operating the Demonic Swallowing the World Secret Method absorbing some power from around him, finally regaining some strength.

He took a deep breath, looked at the anxious faces of the Ye Family members, and said firmly, ”Don’t worry, I’ll go have a look!”

As he finished speaking, Su Yang also rose with his sword and flew off, leaving behind only the exclamations of the crowd.

Although Su Yang was capable of flying with his sword, his was a mere Aerial Levitation Technique, not on par with the Emperor’s Skywalk of the Earth Immortals. The most direct difference was that he simply couldn’t fly to the heights where Sword Saint and the others were.

However, when Su Yang reached his limit, he could still make out the four people in the sky.

Gwu Jihan and Assassination Star had already reached the battlefield, joining forces with the Smiling Buddha, they surrounded Sword Saint.

Behind the Smiling Buddha, a black Buddha became increasingly tangible, about nine meters tall, with a benevolent expression, but its face also carried a fierce aspect.

The Smiling Buddha sat cross-legged in the void, the two hands of the Buddha behind him stretched forth, both palms black, truly living up to the name Black-hearted Hand.

Gwu Jihan moved alone in the void, continuously casting runes. These were his secret and formidable techniques, aimed to trap Sword Saint.

Assassination Star held an iron hook in one hand, its Cold Light intermittently visible, standing behind Sword Saint, looking for a chance to deliver a deadly strike.

Three great Earth Immortals battling one, such an event was rare in the history of Huaxia Country, and now Sword Saint was about to face such a dire situation!
