Chapter 1012 - 1035: Mid-stage Immortal Monarch Realm Powerhouse!
Chu Linfeng’s Star Slash Attack Power was quite similar to the martial skill attack power of the silver-haired elder, both unable to severely injure the other. The rebound force from the powerful energy collision sent the two flying, but Chu Linfeng’s thunder attack made it impossible for the silver-haired elder to withstand.
Now, after reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, the power of thunder and lightning he gathered was much stronger than before. This strike of thunder and lightning directly knocked the flying silver-haired elder to the ground, creating a bottomless pit tens of meters wide. Whether the silver-haired elder was killed by this thunder and lightning was unknown to Chu Linfeng for the moment.
The sudden appearance of golden thunder and lightning also surprised the middle-aged man and the red-robed elder. During the process of being sent flying, Chu Linfeng quickly used Wind Transformation to stabilize himself. The Cyan Frost Sword in his hand shot out towards the middle-aged man, and while utilizing Dual Heart Use, the fire element gathered sufficiently. In an instant, the middle-aged man was surrounded by flames within a radius of tens of meters.
Now, the fire elemental molecules Chu Linfeng gathered were already of Li-Fire Crystal quality fire elements, and the flames formed were comparable to Earth Fire. The middle-aged man never dreamed such a phenomenon would occur. The scorching flames quickly ignited on his body, and Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Sword also reached him at this moment.
Being burned by flames was extremely painful. Although he had the strength of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal Realm to quickly set up an energy barrier on his body, it couldn’t last long. Meanwhile, this sudden sword stab was also unstoppable. He could only move his body a bit at the moment the Cyan Frost Sword pierced his chest to avoid a critical strike.
Even so, a huge hole was left on his body. With a thought, Chu Linfeng directed the Cyan Frost Sword to pass through his body, make a turn in the air, and attack him once more. At this moment, the intense pain caused the energy barrier to disappear instantly, engulfing him in flames, and the Cyan Frost Sword once again pierced from his back through his chest.
Within a few breaths, he was reduced to ashes by the flames, leaving not even the Immortal Infant intact. By then, the flames had also disappeared as if they had never existed. The only change was the increased temperature within the space.
The red-robed elder was completely dumbfounded at this moment. It was the first time he had encountered such terrifying and bizarre attacks. This kid didn’t seem like a human at all; he could summon powerful golden thunder and lightning out of thin air, conjure searing flames spanning tens of meters just like that, and even use a weapon as a magical treasure. Any one of these abilities was unbelievable. It wasn’t until Chu Linfeng approached him that he regained his senses.
"Now it’s just you left. I believe I should be able to kill you before your reinforcements arrive. Prepare to die!" Chu Linfeng said sternly. At this moment, he didn’t want to waste words with him, as he needed to kill him quickly, rescue Jin Haotian, and swiftly leave Hanjiang City.
Now that his strength had been exposed in front of these people, it was easy to attract more powerful experts. Moreover, this guy had already summoned reinforcements with the power of an Immortal Monarch Realm. At this moment, he couldn’t rashly confront an opponent of the Immortal Monarch Realm.
The Cyan Frost Sword in his hand swept out a graceful sword light, after which a sharp Sword Qi appeared on the red-robed elder’s body. Everything happened too fast, so fast that one couldn’t react in time. The red-robed elder could only quickly retreat, but how could he compare to Chu Linfeng’s speed?
The Sword Qi slashed directly across his neck, instantly spraying a jet of blood from it. The only fortunate thing was that his head was still intact, but death wasn’t far off. While the opponent was injured, Chu Linfeng once again unleashed a Star Slash with the Cyan Frost Sword in his hand.
The injured red-robed elder, having no strength to resist, was shattered to dust by the domineering Star Slash, leaving only the lingering bloodthirsty Qi in the air. Chu Linfeng, however, flew like a meteor toward the pit on the ground, wanting to see if that silver-haired elder was truly dead, for he wouldn’t let someone who dared use the Heaven-Shattering Order against him live in this world.
When he saw the silver-haired elder inside the pit, he was also very shocked. At this moment, the silver-haired elder no longer had an aura of life, even the Immortal Infant inside his body was dead. The power of thunder and lightning had cleaved his body into two halves, his entire body charred and emitting a burned stench.
He didn’t expect the power of thunder and lightning to be this strong, able to instantly kill a mid-stage Nine Heavens Profound Realm expert. It seems that this power of thunder and lightning should be utilized more often in the future; perhaps even powerhouses of the Immortal Monarch might be severely injured.
Afterward, Chu Linfeng conjured a fireball from his palm, tossed it onto the silver-haired elder’s body, and quickly flew out of the pit, preparing to enter the City Lord’s Mansion to search for Jin Haotian. However, as he ascended into the sky, a middle-aged man with an angry face sat on a flying immortal beast with four pairs of wings, silently watching him.
Chu Linfeng was instantly startled. This middle-aged man’s aura was extremely powerful, giving him a very dangerous feeling. He knew this was the reinforcement summoned by the Hanjiang City Lord, and he didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly. It seemed today’s real battle was about to begin, but he wasn’t afraid of the opponent. With Chu Qing and Chu Tong, he could fully ensure his own safety.
"Kid, were you the one who killed the City Lord of Hanjiang City?" The middle-aged man spat out the words with an icy tone, making one feel as though they were placed in an ice cellar.
"Who are you?" Chu Linfeng did not immediately reply to the other party but instead asked. Unfamiliar with the Immortal Realm, he wasn’t clear about many powerful forces. He couldn’t haphazardly make enemies. If this guy was just an average loose cultivator, killing him wouldn’t be a big deal. But if he was from a powerful sect or a prominent family, then he could only find a way to escape.
Now that the Hanjiang City Lord was slain, Chu Linfeng believed that even if he didn’t go to rescue Jin Haotian, Jin Haotian would still be able to get out. He trusted there must be formidable friends of Jin Haotian in Hanjiang City.
"How arrogant and reckless you are! To have such strength at your age indeed qualifies as arrogance, but you’ve come to the wrong place. You killed someone you shouldn’t have, so your arrogance has determined that you must die here today," the middle-aged man said.
"Do you think you can kill me? I’m not one to easily fear early-stage Immortal Monarch Realm strength. If you have the skill, just use it," Chu Linfeng retorted, currently gathering the thunder element molecules in the air.
"Hahaha, I forgot to tell you. This Immortal Monarch already broke through to the mid-stage several dozen years ago. Do you think you have the chance to escape from my hands?" The middle-aged man laughed as he looked at Chu Linfeng...
