Chapter 2594: You Will Leave Your Life Here Too!
After Fang Bai controlled the appearance of six puppet corpses and joined the battle, the situation for the four stewards of Flying Swan Peak suddenly became dire, shifting from having the upper hand to being thoroughly suppressed.
The formation formed by the six puppet corpses is called the "Liuhe Extinction Formation," a highly formidable Emperor Rank Immortal Array.
Under Fang Bai’s control, the six puppet corpses had rehearsed this immortal array many times before, and now the coordination was very skilled. Although it still couldn’t unleash the full power of the formation, it was already unbearable for the four stewards of Flying Swan Peak.
The four stewards of Flying Swan Peak leaned back to back, exerting their full strength to resist the combined assault of the six puppet corpses.
The overwhelming pressure from all directions made them feel as if they were about to suffocate, with the flow of immortal qi within their bodies slowing down, and various secret techniques losing much of their power. Wounds continuously added to their bodies, making it truly unbearable.
Under normal circumstances, if the four stewards of Flying Swan Peak faced six opponents, they should have been able to hold on for a while. But after the opposing six puppet corpses formed an immortal array, the power surged, making each steward feel like they were facing the attack of two or three high-ranking Immortal Emperor Realm experts as opponents, which they could not withstand.
The harder they fought, the more alarmed they became, only feeling that the formation laid out by the six puppet corpses was like Heaven’s Net, leaving them no chance to escape.
Dayan Immortal Emperor and Zigong Immortal Emperor were engrossed in an intense battle when suddenly they heard Fang Bai’s message.
"Dayan brat, the four stewards you brought will surely fall within a thousand breaths!"
Fang Bai’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it echoed in Dayan Immortal Emperor’s ear like thunder.
Having lived through two lifetimes, with tens of thousands of years, and belonging to the same generation as Flying Swan Immortal Emperor, it was normal for him to call Dayan Immortal Emperor a "brat."
But in Dayan Immortal Emperor’s ears, Fang Bai’s words seemed arrogant.
"Trying to distract this Immortal Emperor? I won’t fall for it!"
Dayan Immortal Emperor and Zigong Immortal Emperor were evenly matched, and such duels between strong opponents allowed for no distractions. Otherwise, one might face defeat.
Therefore, Dayan Immortal Emperor ignored Fang Bai’s shout and focused entirely on the battle with Zigong Immortal Emperor.
Moreover, in Dayan Immortal Emperor’s mind, the four stewards he brought from Flying Swan Peak were stronger than the four elders of Immortal Bow Hall in terms of combat power. Even if they had to be vigilant against other disciples of Immortal Bow Hall, they wouldn’t be defeated so easily.
He found Fang Bai’s words, "the four stewards you brought will surely fall within a thousand breaths," laughable, thinking it utterly impossible.
That little immortal was just trying to disturb his mind, giving Zigong Immortal Emperor a slight chance to defeat him.
He wasn’t some inexperienced little immortal to make such a novice mistake.
But soon, reality gave Dayan Immortal Emperor a slap.
A hundred breaths later, a miserable scream reached his ears.
Dayan Immortal Emperor frowned, knowing the scream came from a steward of Flying Swan Peak, and recalling Fang Bai’s previous words, his eyelids twitched slightly.
"How can those four elders from Immortal Bow Hall possibly kill my Flying Swan Peak stewards?"
Dayan Immortal Emperor was puzzled, but he didn’t dare to distract himself by sending out Divine Sense to investigate.
"Haha, Dayan brat, this is the first one! Just wait, the second one is coming soon!"
Fang Bai laughed loudly, the laughter piercing to Dayan Immortal Emperor’s ears.
This time, within mere tens of breaths, another scream echoed, and another steward of Flying Swan Peak fell.
With two stewards falling in succession, Dayan Immortal Emperor finally couldn’t hold himself steady.
He wielded his Immortal Artifact to repel Zigong Immortal Emperor and retreated a thousand feet, spreading his Divine Sense in the direction of the screams.
"Damn it!"
Upon investigating the battle over there, Dayan Immortal Emperor’s eyes widened in fury.
Among the four stewards he brought, the corpses of two stewards had already fallen to the dust below, in extremely miserable states.
The remaining two stewards were in a perilous situation, surrounded by six puppet corpses of high-ranking Immortal Emperor Realm, faces full of terror, gritting teeth to hold on desperately.
If this continued, they probably couldn’t last thirty breaths before joining the fate of the two fallen stewards.
"Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon a hard nut at Immortal Bow Hall... With these puppet corpses here, it seems the mission assigned by the Sect Master can’t be completed this time. Well, let’s return to the Sect first, report the situation to the Sect Master."
Dayan Immortal Emperor instantly decided to retreat, transforming into a streak of light, rushing towards the battlefield there.
He prepared, in the shortest time possible, to break the formation encircling the two stewards and rescue them, then escape together.
Immortal Bow Hall had slashed two stewards of Flying Swan Peak, forging a deadly feud with them. Flying Swan Immortal Emperor surely wouldn’t let it rest once he found out!
Dayan Immortal Emperor understood some of the Array Path, believing he could break the formation formed by those six puppet corpses, but as soon as his figure moved, a wave of intensity surged from behind—Zigong Immortal Emperor pursued him.
"Old Zigong, your Immortal Bow Hall committed a grave act this time, just wait for the wrath of our Flying Swan Peak!"
Dayan Immortal Emperor retaliated with a palm strike to counter the attack initiated by Zigong Immortal Emperor from behind, simultaneously accelerating forward.
"We’ve already killed two, one more doesn’t matter! Old bandit Dayan, you shall leave your life here as well!"
Zigong Immortal Emperor, eyes bloodshot, roared as he launched a frenzied attack on Dayan Immortal Emperor.
Upon realizing the puppet corpses controlled by Fang Bai had killed two stewards of Flying Swan Peak, Zigong Immortal Emperor knew big trouble was brewing, making it impossible to resolve peacefully between Immortal Bow Hall and Flying Swan Peak.
Among the eight top Immortal Emperors in the Immortal Realm, none are not high above others. Immortal Bow Hall, having slain two stewards of Flying Swan Peak, effectively slapped Flying Swan Immortal Emperor twice across the face.
Zigong Immortal Emperor could even imagine, in a short time, upon discovering the extinguished Soul Lamps of five high-level individuals, Flying Swan Immortal Emperor would tear through the void and personally descend upon Immortal Bow Hall to demand accountability.
However, despite Fang Bai having brought such a great disaster to Immortal Bow Hall, Zigong Immortal Emperor couldn’t harbor any resentment towards him.
Because Zigong Immortal Emperor understood that even without the incident of Fang Bai killing two stewards of Flying Swan Peak, the eradication of Flying Swan Peak was perhaps inevitable.
Ultimately, he had strictly rejected Dayan Immortal Emperor’s request to take away the disciples of the Sect, and with Flying Swan Immortal Emperor’s vengeful nature, as long as he refused to give in, Flying Swan Immortal Emperor would certainly bear a grudge against him.
Either way, inescapable calamity, Zigong Immortal Emperor decided to take a reckless approach; first, he would kill Dayan Immortal Emperor and the high ranks of Flying Swan Peak, then ponder ways to deal with Flying Swan Peak’s revenge.
Before Flying Swan Peak’s retaliation, killing just one more was a gain.
Zigong Immortal Emperor, determined to fight to the death, once again entangled Dayan Immortal Emperor, preventing him from rescuing the two stewards trapped in the Liuhe Extinction Formation.
Twenty breaths later, under Dayan Immortal Emperor’s eyes, the remaining two stewards of Flying Swan Peak met their demise in the Liuhe Extinction Formation one after the other.
"Argh...argh..."
Dayan Immortal Emperor was gripped by rage and shock, his eyes flushed as he roared repeatedly, turning back to battle Zigong Immortal Emperor, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
