Novel Bin Chapter 436 - Destroying the Edict!
Chapter 436 Destroying the Edict!
The battered decree was basked in a dazzling glow on top of the Nether Mountain, exerting a terrifying pressure.
It was a shocker that an edict by the Assembly of Immortals was capable of putting Chu Xun the Devil into such a miserable, injured state.
Even the world fell into silence, let alone Huaxia.
The infamous Chu Xun the Devil had killed countless enemies, stormed into the Western World by himself and caused a ruckus, and suppressed the Lost Races with his power alone.
To think that such a powerful man was helpless against an edict by the Assembly of Immortals! This realization brought on a wave of horror. Just how powerful was the Assembly of Immortals?
Everyone turned to look at Wu Kejin. The orphan of the Assembly of Immortals was able to suppress Chu Xun the Devil thanks to his many Sacred Relics.
That led to another question. Were there other descendants of the Assembly of Immortals on earth?
“Chu Xun the Devil, challenging the Assembly of Immortals means challenging the power of the world. You can’t afford the consequences.” Wu Kejin looked haughty as he mocked Chu Xun.
The wound on Chu Xun’s back was rapidly healing. He looked so indifferent that his brows didn’t even wrinkle.
“It seems that I’ll have to put my life on the line,” he murmured.
Wu Kejin was stunned. Had Chu Xun the Devil been holding back?
“Chu Xun the Devil, it doesn’t matter how many powerful tricks you have. You won’t leave the Nether Mountain alive today.” Wu Kejin’s voice was brimming with contempt.
As soon as he spoke, the battered Edict emitted light beams at Chu Xun. The light beams charged at him quickly and fiercely.
Swoosh!
Chu Xun was faster than the light beams. With a slight shift of his body, he was already several hundred meters away.
Kaboom!
The blood-red light beams continued to bombard Chu Xun. Though he was able to avoid them, the ground under his feet couldn’t and ruptured, sending rocks flying everywhere.
“Chu Xun the Devil, you can hide but you can’t run. You’re going to die today.” Wu Kejin charged at Chu Xun again.
The wound on Chu Xun’s back had mostly healed. The recovery effect of the Eternal Phoenix Scripture and the Hong Meng Scripture was incredible.
Boom!
Chu Xun’s clothes fluttered despite the lack of any wind, rustling in the air, as majestic purple light began to envelop him.
The purple-colored and white-colored Golden Cores inside his Elixir Field were spinning slowly as if they were stirring a vast body of water, turning ripples into tall waves.
Swoosh!
Following a burst of golden light, Dragon’s Wrath appeared in his hand.
“Kill!”
Chu Xun shouted. This time, he went in for the kill instead of avoiding the light beams. He hacked an oncoming beam of blood-red light with his blade.
The Dragon’s Wrath was a majestic sight with its bright golden glow. The phantom of Tao Wu was wandering down the blade with shocking power.
Boom!
An ear-deafening explosion resounded as Chu Xun blew up the blood-red light beam with his blade. The aftershock of the explosion spread violently.
Wu Kejin’s pupils shrunk, shocked that Chu Xun had blown up the Edict’s attack.
Chu Xun turned his blade in his hand and swung it again, blowing up yet another blood-red light beam.
Wu Kejin was staring in a daze but his expression immediately shifted when Chu Xun pounced at him like a meteor.
Before Chu Xun even reached him, layer upon layer of saber radiance was already cutting him down.
Thump! Thump!
Chu Xun’s saber radiance slammed down on Wu Kejin’s protective light cover with an ear-deafening impact. Even though it didn’t shatter Wu Kejin’s cover, the impact was strong enough to turn Wu Kejin’s face white and throw him out.
“Kill!”
Chu Xun pushed the power of the Dragon’s Wrath even further, causing the blade to give off an even brighter light. A saber shadow of more than thirty meters long took shape against a background of crackling noises, bringing with it so much pressure that the air around it became warped.
The enormous golden saber shadow fell hard on Wu Kejin’s body, causing an explosion that sent dirt everywhere and buried the latter within.
Chu Xun withdrew his attention from Wu Kejin and turned around to pounce at the battered Edict.
He swung his saber again, and a golden saber radiance surged. Boom! He blew up another blood-red light beam.
Whirling the sharp edge around, he swung his saber. Yet another blood-red light beam was blown up.
Inside his Elixir Field, his two Golden Pills were spinning increasingly fast to the point of causing a whirlpool.
“Kill!”
Chu Xun bellowed. He leaped upward and chased after the battered Edict in the sky. His Dragon’s Wrath radiated dazzling golden light as he hacked the Edict.
Clang!
Sparks flew everywhere as the deafening sound of metal colliding with metal resounded. The battered Edict shook violently and its white glow began to flicker. Crack! A crack appeared in the Edict and spread until it was about ten centimeters long.
“A scrap of paper dares to try and suppress me,” Chu Xun growled. Purple light appeared under his feet, supporting his body as he descended and made another slash.
Clang!
Sparks flew. The battered Edict continued to shake as yet another crack appeared on its surface.
Everyone watched in shock. What a shocking display of power! Chu Xun the Devil was going berserk!
Clang! Clang!
The purple light under Chu Xun’s feet continued to flicker as it held him firmly in the air, preventing his fall. The radiance of the Dragon’s Wrath in his hand shone upon the ground as he swung his saber again and again.
He was like a bladesmith forging a saber as he slashed the Edict with his Dragon’s Wrath repeatedly and tirelessly.
The white glow of the battered Edict was getting increasingly weak. Its surface was marked by crisscrossed cracks that resembled spiderwebs.
Chu Xun’s eyes were cold and emotionless.
Suddenly, he withdrew the Dragon’s Wrath. Purple light burst forth from his palms as he seized the battered Edict.
“Ahh!”
Chu Xun yelled. Veins were protruding on his arms.
Tsk!
The battered Edict was ripped apart by Chu Xun with the sound akin to a sword cutting through a leaf.
The glow of the battered Edict was extinguished as soon as it was ripped in half. Chu Xun put the halves on top of each other. Tsk! He ripped the halves again.
Tsk! Tsk!
Chu Xun ripped the battered Edict into shreds like it was no more than ordinary paper.
Then, he conjured purple flames in his palms and burned the Edict to ashes.
“Ahh…” Smoke and dust billowed. Wu Kejin was in a sorry state. He couldn’t help but let out an anguished growl after seeing Chu Xun destroy the Edict.
“Chu Xun the Devil, how dare you destroy an edict by the Assembly of Immortals. Your crime is unforgivable.”
Chu Xun looked aloof as he made a quick dive. The Dragon’s Wrath appeared in his hand once again. Following a burst of golden light, he slashed Wu Kejin with his saber.
“Forget the shabby edict. Even if you’re the orphan of the Assembly of Immortals, you’re not getting out of the Nether Mountain today.”
Thump!
A loud noise resounded when his saber radiance hit Wu Kejin’s protective white light cover.
The impact sent Wu Kejin stumbling several steps backward, leaving crushed earth under his feet.
Swoosh!
Following a burst of white light, a magnificent sword appeared in Wu Kejin’s hands.
When he thrust his sword, even those a kilometer away could feel the coldness from him.
“Kill!”
An emotionless Chu Xun brandished the Dragon’s Wrath as he pounced at Wu Kejin.
Clang!
Sparks flew when his saber collided with Wu Kejin’s sword. A dreadful shockwave quickly spread, threatening to crush every stone in its way.
The fact that Wu Kejin’s sword was good enough to resist the Dragon’s Wrath proved that it was no ordinary weapon. It was undoubtedly a rare Sacred Relic.
It seemed that the Assembly of Immortals had left people like Wu Kejin behind for insurance before leaving. Moreover, they also left behind quite a few Sacred Relics.
Wu Kejin’s protective white light cover and sword made him quite a tough opponent for Chu Xun.
Their fierce fight saw their silhouettes coming together and separating repeatedly against a backdrop of saber radiance and sword shadows. Everywhere they went, they left behind a trail of destruction.
Wu Kejin’s cultivation was as strong as that of Chu Xun. Thanks to his Sacred Relic, he was a formidable opponent.
Chu Xun moved so quickly around Wu Kejin in his attempt to kill him that no one noticed that every time he moved his feet, a purple light would perforate the ground.
Clang!
After another fierce collision of saber and sword, Chu Xun was thrown backward.
Wu Kejin stared at him in astonishment. Just as he was wondering why Chu Xun had turned weak all of a sudden, he saw the sly smirk on the latter’s face. A chill ran down his spine, and he immediately tried to retreat.
“Rise.”
Following Chu Xun’s command in a low voice, a hundred-meter formation appeared around Wu Kejin and trapped him within.
Immortal Imprisonment Formation.
Thump!
Wu Kejin tried to move so quickly that he couldn’t stop in time. He rammed straight into the wall of the formation. Purple light twirled and threw him off with a great shock.
“Chu Xun the Devil, do you think your little formation will stop me?” Wu Kejin didn’t panic.
“You’ll know the answer after you try it. If you hadn’t been hiding in your tortoiseshell, killing you will be a piece of cake.” Chu Xun sneered.
Wu Kejin’s face was distorted. Even he understood that when it came to cultivation, Chu Xun was still ever so slightly above him.
Of course, he would never admit this. How could the great orphan of the Assembly of Immortals be inferior to a lowly servant?
Wu Kejin activated his sword, and a bright sword light slammed straight at the wall of the formation.
Boom!
The entire formation was shaking but the purple light on the wall swirled and twirled, eventually dispersing the Sword Qi.
Wu Kejin looked dreadful. He couldn’t believe that he couldn’t shatter the formation with a slash at top strength.
“Wu Kejin, I told you. I won’t let you leave the Nether Mountain alive today.”
That said, Chu Xun began to craft a hand seal and form a magic signet with one hand.
The void blew up, producing a deafening thunder-like explosion.
Everyone, whether at or away from the scene, was dumbstruck. There was a look of shock and horror on their faces.
With a gloomy expression, Wu Kejin looked up. A trace of shock and horror was evident in his expression.
Dark clouds were rolling over and over above the formation against a backdrop of lightning flashes and thunder rolls. Bolts of lightning as thick as an arm continued to rip through the dark clouds like a berserk serpent made of lightning. It was a horrifying scene.
“Wu Kejin, you keep saying that challenging the Assembly of Immortals means challenging the world. I’ll have you know that the Assembly of Immortals is crap. It’s just a stray dog running with its tail between its legs.”
“Chu Xun the Devil, it’s unforgivable that you humiliate and slander the Assembly of Immortals once and again. One day, you’ll be punished by the world.”
“Punished by the world?” Chu Xun sneered. “I’ll show you right now what heavenly punishment is.”
That said, he cast a hand seal and made a gentle leap into the air.
Purple Thunder Doom—Punishment from Gods!
Rumble!
Thick, dark clouds turned over and over with vigor. It was as if there was a dragon of lightning swimming among the clouds.
Shortly after, bolts of lightning as thick as an arm ripped through the dark clouds like a nest of pythons. Lightning fell from the sky and hit Wu Kejin.
Wu Kejin stared coldly at the descending bolts of lightning with a look of contempt. He sneered. “Chu Xun the Devil, stop your petty tricks. These things can’t hurt me.”
“Is that so?” Chu Xun was expressionless.
Boom!
Just as the thick bolts of lightning were about to hit Wu Kejin, they blew up and produced blinding sparks.
The lightning might have failed to break his defense but managed to throw him out from the impact.
Boom!
Before Wu Kejin could land on the ground, another thick bolt of lightning hit him and sent him flying again.
Lightning was running wild inside the formation as hundreds of thick bolts of lightning the size of an arm bombarded the ground like a host of demons running wild.
Wu Kejin’s protective Sacred Relic was strong enough to prevent the lightning from hurting him but not enough to keep him from being blasted out.
The white light around his body was like a transparent glass cover. He hid underneath the cover. Though the lightning outside couldn’t break his cover, it was strong enough to jolt and toss the cover around.
Dark clouds billowed. Lightning continued to run wild. There was barely any light inside the formation except for the blinding lightning.
And thanks to the dazzling white light around his body, Wu Kejin was like the sole lamp inside the darkness.
The formation was like a soccer field and its hundreds of bombarding bolts of lightning the soccer players. Wu Kejin was the soccer ball that was kicked and knocked everywhere.
Even though this wouldn’t hurt him, it was so maddening that a descendant of the Assembly of Immortals was being kicked around like a ball. He was so pissed that he could cough up blood.
Moreover, these bolts of lightning weren’t completely harmless to him. Every time they hit him, the impact would stir his insides crazily, causing his Qi and blood to surge.
