Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy

Chapter 528 - 529: Kill with One Move [Second Update]

Before the execution ground, Xiang Lingtian stared coldly at the hundreds of bound captives from Peach Blossom Spring. He gave a chilling smile, preparing to kill a few to sate his bloodlust before Wu Tian arrived.

Suddenly, he felt an immense pressure drawing nearer. Xiang Lingtian’s expression changed as he shouted, "What in the world is going on?"

At that moment, an Immortal Seeker arrived in a panic. "This is bad, Alliance Hierarch! Very bad! There are five Void Amalgamation experts, ten Great Combination experts, fifty Spirit Severing experts, and a hundred Soul Travel experts... they... they’re attacking!"

What? Five Void Amalgamation experts, ten Great Combination experts, fifty Spirit Severing experts, and a hundred Soul Travel experts?

Hearing this, Xiang Lingtian was stunned. His first reaction was to scoff. "Are you kidding me? Even a Great Sect couldn’t possess such a force, could it? Could it be that all the Immortal Seekers of the Righteous Path have come together?"

Fan Yisheng also rushed over with his men. "Wu Tian is attacking."

"An open assault? You’re saying they’re attacking directly, not launching a sneak attack?" Xiang Lingtian frowned. The situation was unfolding differently than he had anticipated. He had assumed Wu Tian and his people would surely use a sneak attack to rescue their allies, not launch an open assault.

To his surprise, Wu Tian had come brazenly attacking.

As Xiang Lingtian was processing this, a thunderous shout echoed from the heavens. "Xiang Lingtian, kneel and accept your death!"

The voice, descending from mid-air, was laden with a terrifying, bone-chilling Killing Intent. The power contained within it was so profound that Xiang Lingtian knew he was no match for it. Even the Honorable Master of the Great Sect can’t compare to this!

This voice... is it Wu Tian? It can’t be! Xiang Lingtian was filled with doubt. Wu Tian was young, only twenty, not like the typical Immortal Seekers who were hundreds or even thousands of years old.

While Xiang Lingtian was reeling with uncertainty, the people from Peach Blossom Spring, bound at the execution ground, all cried out at once.

"Mr. Wu Tian!"

"Save them!" Wu Tian ordered, looking at the Kunpeng, which had transformed to the size of an eagle.

It was still young, but its Innate Divine Ability was extraordinary. It was called "North Dark."

Zhuangzi’s "Free and Easy Wandering" says: "In the barren north, there is a dark sea, the Heavenly Pool. In it is a fish that is several thousand miles wide; no one knows its length." It also says: "If water is not deep, it lacks the strength to carry a large boat. A cup of water poured into a small depression on the floor will float a mustard seed, but if you place a cup in it, it will be grounded—the water is shallow and the boat is large." Therefore, this sect’s Martial Skills prioritize the accumulation of Inner Strength. Once one’s Inner Strength is profound, all Martial Skills under heaven can be mastered, just as the North Dark can carry boats large and small, and accommodate fish great and small.

Instantly, a powerful suction force manifested, pulling the people of Peach Blossom Spring from the execution ground into the air one by one.

What? Watching this, Xiang Lingtian and the others felt their eyes widen in shock.

The Phoenix’s first Innate Divine Ability was to change its size. At this moment, the Phoenix grew even larger, its back now vast enough to hold all several hundred people from Peach Blossom Spring.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu Tian!" The men, women, old, and young of Peach Blossom Spring all began to thank him profusely. They had all believed they were going to die and never expected Wu Tian to arrive.

Standing atop the Phoenix’s head, Wu Tian looked down upon the forces below and declared, "Today marks the end of the Evil Alliance!"

"No, no, no!" The situation was now painfully clear. Xiang Lingtian’s eyes were glazed over as he murmured in disbelief.

Fan Yisheng sighed. "I am also at fault. I never could have estimated that he would be this powerful!"

Although Wu Tian was renowned in the Underground World, no one knew his true strength. Those in the Underground World who had found out were already dead. People could only guess at Wu Tian’s Realm. Fan Yisheng had also made his calculations and originally thought he was overestimating Wu Tian’s abilities. Thinking back now, he realized he had still greatly underestimated him.

Just how strong was Wu Tian? No one knew.

At this moment, Xiang Lingtian snapped out of his shock and disbelief. He glanced at the vast number of Evil Alliance Immortal Seekers behind him and said coldly, "Everyone, attack together and throw everything into chaos. Then, we can split up and scatter like birds. What can they do to us then?"

"Indeed, that is a strategy," Fan Yisheng nodded.

Xiang Lingtian let out a hollow laugh.

"Escape? You think you can escape?" Wu Tian snorted, a cold smile on his lips and a flash of frost in his eyes. Suddenly, he slapped his hand downward, unleashing the Great Heavenly Covering Hand.

A colossal handprint materialized, covering half the camp. It then smashed down violently, shattering the very air.

Watching the huge handprint descend, Fan Yisheng and the others’ faces changed drastically.

"This is bad! Protect the Alliance Hierarch!" Fan Yisheng yelled anxiously.

Some Immortal Seekers charged forward and unleashed their Daoist Magic, bombarding the colossal handprint as it smashed down. Meanwhile, other Evil Alliance Immortal Seekers fled for their lives, abandoning Xiang Lingtian.

Xiang Lingtian himself raised his Overlord Spear, attempting to pierce through the descending palm.

But seeing this, Wu Tian merely scoffed. A Martial Arts Technique I developed, broken so easily? How ridiculous!

As expected, the Daoist Magic of the Evil Alliance Immortal Seekers proved futile. The massive handprint smashed down mercilessly.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, the entire earth trembled. Tents and structures collapsed one after another. Over ten thousand Evil Alliance Immortal Seekers were crushed to death by this single strike. The remaining Immortal Seekers screamed in panic and scattered in every direction.

In the center of the giant, hand-shaped crater, Xiang Lingtian—once known as a formidable leader—was deeply embedded in the earth, deader than dead. He had been killed in a single move, his Overlord Spear shattered. He could never have imagined such an end.

"You... you actually killed the Alliance Hierarch?" Fan Yisheng stared at the massive handprint on the ground. When his shock subsided, he pointed a trembling finger at Wu Tian in the sky and roared in fury.

To live as a hero among men,

To die as a king among spirits.

To this day we remember Xiang Yu,

Who would not cross the river to return east.

The dream of the Xiang Family was also the dream of the Fan Family. But now, the Xiang family line was completely extinguished.

"Everyone, let’s fight him to the death!" Fan Yisheng bellowed. With his sword in hand, he began to radiate a powerful Yuan Force.

"Fight?" Standing atop the Phoenix’s head, Wu Tian scoffed. "You’re not fighting to the death. You’re just rushing to your graves!"

He then glanced toward Liu Tianji and the others.

Understanding Wu Tian’s intent, Liu Tianji and his followers all drew their swords.

"Fan Yisheng, you aren’t worthy of dying by our lord’s hand. Allow us to take care of you."

What?

Fan Yisheng and his men were stunned. He was the first to recover, gritting his teeth. "You underestimate us!"

Instantly, they all took to the air using Sword Control and charged toward Wu Tian’s group, determined to fight to the death.

Meanwhile, the Honorable Master and others from Volde’s sect had not left. They were waiting for an opportunity, crawling through the undergrowth or lurking submerged in the Black Water.

The Honorable Master whispered, "We’ll wait and see if an opportunity presents itself. If Wu Tian and his group emerge completely unscathed, we’ll retreat. But if they’re injured, we’ll annihilate them, unify the Underground World, and then launch an assault on the surface!"

"Yes!" the members of the Great Sect responded in unison.
