Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples-Chapter 762: The Battle That Shook the East (V)

Qu Shen fought with a desperation he had long forgotten. It had truly been five hundred years since the last time he had fought with his life on the line. His huge sword moved like the wind, creating crimson blades that sliced through the sky. In a flash, nine blades were sent towards the nine gathered Spirit Lords. He was still a Spirit King. He wanted to see just how long these useless things could stand up to his attacks.

"Crimson Feather Blades!"

The difference between a Spirit Lord and a Spirit King was not too large but it also wasn't small. It was widely accepted knowledge throughout the cultivation world that ten or more Spirit Lords could barely hold off a Spirit King if they had good teamwork and if their Daos were compatible. This rag-tag group of nine was far from that and how they would fare was still an uncertainty.

Little Gray, the blade mantis, was fast and agile. Although it cultivated the sword, it did not choose to take a direct hit from a Spirit King's blade and quickly dodged aside.

Green Giant was too big and slow to move out of the way. It could only serve as a punching bag and take the blade attack head-on. The crimson energy slashed across its body, leaving a crushed carapace and a long, bloody wound. However, its body was so big and sturdy that its vitality wasn't harmed too badly.

Spike Head fared even better. Its body was like a defensive treasure. The blade attack only broke a few spikes while leaving a shallow dent in its shell.

White Deng was the bravest and fought strength with strength. A white beam of light erupted from its eyes, directly colliding with the incoming crimson blade and knocking it off course.

The other Spirit Lords also reacted according to their strengths. Huo Ping created a web of poison that dulled the blade. Huo Yan blocked the attack with its flames. Meanwhile, Kong used its body to defend itself. Although it was not as big as Green Giant or as tough as Spike Head, the steel-furred gorilla had the strengths of both.

As for the two humans, they were far more familiar with Qu Shen's abilities. Mei Qiaofeng had avoided the attack long ago while Tie Buqun created a dust storm to hide his figure so that he was impossible to hit.

Just like this, a powerful attack from an experienced Spirit King was dealt with.

Qu Shen's expression turned ugly. He realized his mistake and raised his sword for another attack. However, this time, he only left a trace of his spiritual energy in six of the crimson blades while focusing all of his strength in three of them.

"Crimson Feather Blades!" He shouted again.

Similar reactions occurred but the results were different from before. Green Giant suffered a severe blow, ruining a large portion of its body. Spike Head suffered a crack in its shell. Kong was actually forced to dodge away instead of taking the dangerous blade.

"Get back! We'll create a distraction!" Tie Buqun shouted.

He waved his hand and the sandstorm in front of him grew rapidly. Huo Ping and Huo Yan also reacted, expanding their web poison and wall of flame to block off the western sky. Under this cover, Little Gray and White Deng pulled Green Giant to the rear.

"Little ones, you're doing well," Sundew said.

She placed a hand on Green Giant's head and activated her healing powers. Mysterious energies of life and vitality flowed into the giant mantis and its wounds healed at visible speeds.

The battle thus transformed into a battle of attrition. As long as Qu Shen had the energy, he could attack wildly and wound the various Spirit Lords. However, the wounded Spirit Lords could be quickly healed by Sundew as long as she had the energy. After all, it was much less taxing to heal a Spirit Lord than a Spirit King such as herself.

All the while, the nine Spirit Lords pestered Qu Shen with weak but still threatening attacks. They drove him crazy. He wanted to break their formation with sheer strength but it wasn't enough. He wanted to directly charge through but he would be blocked by Sundew at the last moment. Against just nine Spirit Lords, he would have beaten them long ago. But against nine Spirit Lords and a Spirit King with healing powers, it was as if he was fighting an invincible army.

Aside from Qu Shen, He Zicheng wasn't faring well either. Facing three Spirit Kings with fearsome attacking abilities, all he could do was defend. He could barely find time to catch a breath, let alone retaliate. There was nowhere to run either. East, South, West, North; four Spirit Kings blocked each direction. Qu Shen was supposed to break out through the west but now, it was more and more likely that he wouldn't be able to do it.

"Chen Wentian..." He Zicheng spat, "I'll kill you!"

Chen Wentian responded with a barrage of blue fireballs.

"Gah! You useless thing, fight me fairly!" He Zicheng shouted over the noise of the explosions.

All he received in response was a mouthful of red flames from Huo Tu.

"Is this how you take revenge?" He Zicheng turned to Jasmine and asked, "Through schemes and treachery?"

Jasmine raked his golden shield with several moonbeams but still replied calmly, "Hey, Old He, didn't you use similar means to deal with my adopted father? You know what they say about payback, it hurts, doesn't it?"

"You..."

He Zicheng almost threw up blood, he was so angry. Trapped like a pig, waiting to be slaughtered, it was an unbearable feeling for anyone, let alone an arrogant, self-serving person. Coming out of the city today, this was the last thing he expected, to fall into a trap that could threaten his life.

Under normal circumstances, a single Spirit King wouldn't have to worry too much even when facing two enemy Spirit King. With Qu Shen tagging along, He Zicheng wasn't afraid of four Spirit Kings. However, he couldn't predict that so many Spirit Lords of different backgrounds would work together to block their way. It was almost laughable, that a bunch of weaklings could force him into such a dire state.

"Haha!" He Zicheng laughed, almost in self-mockery, "Chen Wentian, you're very good! You've hidden yourself so deeply. A man with a thousand tricks will be victorious in a hundred battles, isn't that what they say? Well... I want to see how you will deal with this!"

He laughed and threw up his hands, scattering hundreds of slips of paper into the air. They fluttered in the wind and slowly fell for a few seconds before they all glowed with spiritual energy. Suddenly, as if they had come alive, they shot off towards the west in many directions.

Chen Wentian instantly recognized what they were. Each slip of paper was a powerful message talisman that could fly for thousands of kilometers. Who knew when He Zicheng had started to prepare them and how much spiritual energy he had injected. These talismans might even be able to fly across several provinces.

The recipient also didn't matter. What He Zicheng wanted to do was spread the news of Jasmine and of his true strength. As long as one message talisman landed in the wrong hands, it would cause endless troubles for him and his disciples.

It was a vicious but effective trick.

"Jasmine, Huo Tu, chase after the message talismans!" Chen Wentian shouted.

"What about you?" Jasmine asked.

"I'll deal with him!" He shouted and then transmitted a similar message to Sundew and her group.

The nine Spirit Lords immediately broke away from Qu Shen and flew after the various message talismans. Jasmine and Huo Tu joined them not long after.

"Hahaha!" He Zicheng laughed crazily, "You're doomed. If we cannot get Jasmine, then don't you dare dream of living a good life. Hahaha!"

Chen Wentian ignored him and spoke to Sundew, "I need you to distract Qu Shen for one minute. I will deal with He Zicheng."

Facing He Zicheng and Qu Shen's laughs and insults, he injected divine energy into his flames for the first time since the fight started. All of a sudden, his spiritual aura exploded across the clear sky. Blue flames spread out and turned the land into the domain of a dragon.
