Chapter 3546: The Three Immortal Emperors
“If you kill me, it might cause you some trouble. Is there really no way to reach a compromise?” elder Nong asked sternly.
“We three sisters have no fixed residence and nothing tying us down. We don’t care about the trouble. Once we kill you and get our remuneration, we’ll just change our identities and go into hiding. The Immortals’ World is so large. With what we’re capable of, even if certain Immortal Exalts personally take action, they might not necessarily be able to find us if we truly try to hide.”
“If you want someone to blame, blame the person who wants you dead. The conditions he put forward were far too tempting, so tempting that we could not turn him down. Let alone killing a measly Immortal Monarch like you, even if he wanted us to deal with an Immortal Exalt, we might have attempted that in the heat of the moment.” The old woman snickered as the killing intent in her eyes intensified.
“Looks like there’s no way to settle this peacefully today. Chen Shifang, leave here quickly. I’ll keep them busy.” Elder Nong sighed gently. The stone golem appeared before him; he formed a seal, immediately sending the stone golem towards the old woman.
A low quality god artifact sword appeared in Chen Shifang’s hand. He had never been so stern before. He said solemnly, “Elder Nong, you ended up in such danger because of me, so how can I leave alone? Even if one of us were to leave, it would be you. I’ll keep them busy.”
A Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch’s presence erupted from Chen Shifang. With the God Tier sword in hand, he turned into a resplendent streak of light. There was determination in his eyes as he charged fearlessly towards the old woman.
The sewing old woman sneered and said, “Even a mere Immortal Monarch dares to point his sword at me? How courageous. Unfortunately, you’re just too weak.” With that, the old woman flicked her finger and the needle in her hand suddenly flew out, turning into a silvery-white streak of light that cut through space, piercing deeply into the stone golem’s chest.
Boom!
The two collided and produced a great boom. The stone golem staggered backwards, while the needle that was originally only the length of a finger had already become over a metre long, piercing deeply into the stone golem like a sharp sword.
The stone golem’s entire chest was already covered with cracks.
Elder Nong was greatly shocked by that. The stone golem’s battle prowess was no weaker than the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control. Even someone as powerful as the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control struggled to harm it.
Yet right now, the stone golem actually had its chest pierced with ease.
The old woman’s strength had already exceeded his imaginations completely.
At this moment, Chen Shifang had reached the old woman as well, but the old woman simply reached out. With that, the streak of light immediately stopped in her hand. Afterwards, as the old woman closed her hand, the space shattered. The light in her hand was crushed too, scattering as fragments of sword Qi.
Spurt!
With the light shattered, Chen Shifang seemed to have received a heavy attack. Blood sprayed from his mouth as his face became extremely pale while he staggered backwards through the air.
The low quality god artifact sword in his hand had already been reduced to a bare hilt. The sword had shattered in the old woman’s hand.
The old woman was far too powerful, well beyond anything that the four organisations around the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens could match. Even Chen Shifang with his cultivation as a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch and a stone golem with battle prowess on par with early Immortal Emperors still stood no chance against the old woman.
“Big sis, looks like there’s no need for the three of us to take action. Just you alone are enough to kill them with ease,” one of the two old women playing chess said hoarsely.
“He also possesses a sword formation left behind by the Star Clustered Ancestor. I just wonder how powerful that sword formation is,” the sewing old woman said indifferently. She glanced past Chen Shifang and elder Nong like they were about to die.
At this moment, the stone golem suddenly erupted with a presence even more terrifying than before. The coloured immortal crystals in its body depleted at an unprecedented rate, immediately pushing the stone golem’s battle prowess to the extremes.
Afterwards, it swung both fists and erupted with horrifying speed, directly smashing open the space there and charging aggressively towards the old woman.
“The golem sure is impressive. It’s already enough to put up a fight against a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor. Unfortunately, I’m not an Immortal Emperor of the Third Heavenly Layer but the sixth!”The old woman with the needle smiled with contempt. She swung her hand and the needle that had become as large as a sword shot towards the stone golem along with a black spatial crack.
Boom!
With a rumble, the stone golem flew backwards faster than it had rushed over. There was a flash of silver on its chest; it was the old woman’s needle.
At that moment, the needle seemed like an indestructible sword, piercing deeply into the stone golem’s chest and pinning it firmly on the ground. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free.
Elder Nong’s heart immediately sank when he saw the stone golem’s fate, but he still did not give up on resisting. As he opened his hand, twenty tiny jade swords appeared silently. Each jade sword radiated with a powerful presence, containing the Laws of Space and the Laws of the Sword.
In the next moment, the small jade swords vanished into the space there. At basically the same time, the space blurred. All of the surrounding scenery vanished as if it had turned into a world of chaos.
Elder Nong had already unleashed his final trump card, the Great Spatial Sword Formation!
However, before the Great Spatial Sword Formation could be completely established, the sewing old woman immediately vanished. She appeared a million kilometres away like she had teleported, avoiding the Great Spatial Sword Formation.
“This formation, on the other hand, is quite impressive. It truly is something left behind by an Immortal Exalt. Unfortunately, it’s incomplete, so it struggles to unleash its full strength.”
“Second sis, let’s witness the power of this formation.” The two old women playing chess discussed with great composure.
They smiled slightly, completely unfazed by the Great Spatial Sword Formation.
Immediately, the Great Spatial Sword Formation took shape, but it only enveloped the two elderly women.
But in the next moment, the two elderly women both raised a chess piece each. When they tossed out the black and white chess pieces, they turned into two towering mountains, directly crushing down on the Great Spatial Sword Formation with tremendous weight.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rumbles rang out from inside the Great Spatial Sword Formation endlessly. The entire sword formation shook violently. The two old women did not do anything else. They only tossed out chess pieces with composure, yet it brought the Great Spatial Sword Formation to the brink of collapse. Colossal cracks ran through it.
“What a pity. This wondrous formation is actually incomplete.” The old woman with the needle returned. She glanced at the Great Spatial Sword Formation and sighed gently before looking towards elder Nong and Chen Shifang. She said leisurely, “If you have any more trump cards, you better show them now, or I’ll have to send you on your way.”
Determination filled elder Nong’s stern eyes. He pushed Chen Shifang behind him without any hesitation and said sternly, “I’ll keep her busy. You escape from here immediately.”
Flames flickered in elder Nong’s eyes. That was a sign of preparing to burn his soul.
“You can’t, elder Nong. Even if one of us leaves, it has to be you. With your strength as a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, you won’t be able to hold her back even if you burn your soul. Let me cover you instead,” Chen Shifang called out. His resolute face became rather twisted at that moment. He gritted his teeth and became rather mad, rushing towards the old woman as the energy in his body began to surge violently.
“You want to blow yourself up? Hehe, with your puny strength as a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, even if you detonate yourself, you won’t be able to harm any Sixth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor.” The old woman sneered.
“You can’t, Chen Shifang!” Elder Nong panicked.
