Chapter 421: The Heaven Immortals\' Assault
"These golden crows are all Earth Immortals. They\'re incredibly strong!"
"He\'s an Earth Immortal too. Quick, we have to attack!"
The cursed effigies continued to charge toward Xiao Nanfeng.
An ox-headed humanoid managed to block a golden crow\'s attack.
"An Earth Immortal cursed effigy?" Xiao Nanfeng narrowed his eyes.
The next moment, amidst heated fighting, more Earth Immortal cursed effigies emerged to block the golden crows\' attacks. The remaining cursed effigies attacked Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng shot forward, drawing his divine undying blade.
With one slash, he bisected an Earth Immortal.
"What incredible power. We have to attack together!" the cursed effigies exclaimed.
"Kill!" Xiao Nanfeng roared, slashing madly around him with his blade.
His fighting spirit soared as he cut apart all foes who stood in his way, but there were quite a few Earth Immortal cursed effigies left. He was bound to miss one sooner or later; an Earth Immortal cursed effigy\'s sword struck his back.
The cursed effigy\'s Immortal sword shattered.
"What? How can this Immortal body be so potent?!" the cursed effigy exclaimed.
Xiao Nanfeng retaliated and cut him in half.
Xiao Nanfeng, outnumbered one to a hundred, nevertheless seemed to have the advantage. Fragments of cursed effigies dissolved all around him.
The blood peach tree suddenly appeared, its roots stabbing into the cursed effigies that Xiao Nanfeng took down. Some cursed effigies pursued it, but it was faster than they were.
"He\'s too strong. Inform the king immediately!"
"This peach tree cursed effigy\'s trying to absorb my cursed spiritual power!"
"Damn it, we have to flee!"
The cursed effigies were taken aback by Xiao Nanfeng\'s strength.
Xiao Nanfeng might be stronger than they were, but there was a limit to his strength. He was unable to prevent them from fleeing; at least half managed to get away in the blink of an eye.
He sheathed his blade once more and turned to the blood peach tree, who was stuffing its face with the fragments of cursed effigies that Xiao Nanfeng had left behind.
A few moments ago, a group of cultivators who had been hiding in a nearby forest had been talking to each other.
"It\'s been almost two days since City Lord Xiao entered the sea of karmic flame. Is he alright?"
"Don\'t curse him! Nothing\'s going to happen to City Lord Xiao."
The cultivators waited anxiously. Suddenly, they saw that the flames had vanished, revealing Xiao Nanfeng\'s body.
"City Lord Xiao devoured the entire sea of karmic flame?! How could this be?"
"If City Lord Xiao\'s this strong, we made the right choice in becoming his followers. Surely we\'ll be able to make it out of the Netherworld Palace like this!"
"We have to follow City Lord Xiao closely."
The cultivators saw Xiao Nanfeng slaughter the nearby cursed effigies as they whispered to each other. They gaped in shock and anticipation when they saw him take down a large group of them all at once.
Suddenly, one cultivator\'s eyes widened as she shouted, "City Lord Xiao, be careful!"
Xiao Nanfeng had likewise sensed imminent danger. A threatening aura had enveloped his entire body. He immediately swung his blade in the direction from which it came.
A huge palm had suddenly appeared behind him.
His blade was flung back as he was sent flying. He smashed into the ground like a meteor, forming a huge pit on impact.
Xiao Nanfeng immediately climbed out and looked toward his assailant in rage.
A white-robed man was looking at his palm, seemingly unable to believe that Xiao Nanfeng had managed to survive his attack.
"You? One of the Heaven Immortals working for the crown prince of Dayin?" Xiao Nanfeng demanded.
The ten golden crows immediately flew into Xiao Nanfeng\'s body as the blood peach tree nearby vanished from sight.
The white-robed man glanced at his palm once again before frowning at Xiao Nanfeng. "You really do possess a large number of secrets, don\'t you? Even a peak Earth Immortal would have their Immortal body obliterated by my palm strike, and even an early-stage Human Immortal would have suffered a devastating blow. How could you be alright? Just what could your Immortal body be made of? What potent techniques do you have up your sleeve?"
The white-robed man stared at Xiao Nanfeng with greed and malice.
"Where are the rest of you?" Xiao Nanfeng demanded.
"Why? Am I not enough for you?" the white-robed man retorted coldly.
"They aren\'t here?"
"With me around, what\'s the point of having them come? His Highness is interested in your copper blade, your imperial seal, and your Yanluo Court. All I have to do is hand him those three treasures. The rest of the secrets on your body—they\'ll be mine." The white-robed man smiled.
His body flickered out of sight as he struck at Xiao Nanfeng again.
Xiao Nanfeng grimaced as he defended with his blade, but he was sent flying once again. His divine undying blade slipped out of his grip and far from reach.
Xiao Nanfeng smashed into the ground. He simply couldn\'t defend against a Human Immortal\'s strength.
"It looks like I\'ve been too careful. You can\'t use that blade attack that killed Yin without any preparation, can you? How will you be able to resist without that blade? An Earth Immortal simply can\'t defeat a Heaven Immortal." The white-robed man laughed as he shot over.
He attacked swiftly, not giving Xiao Nanfeng any opportunity to rest. He again appeared before Xiao Nanfeng and unleashed a palm strike, sending him flying.
Xiao Nanfeng crashed into the ground for a third time. A plume of dust formed all around him. The only reason he hadn\'t been injured, even against a Heaven Immortal, was because of the strength of the Immortal body that he had cultivated.
"Your Immortal body really is strong—but soon it\'ll be mine. I have a spiritual cultivation technique designed specifically for interrogation. You\'ll beg me to kill you by the time I\'m done with you. I\'ll make you reveal all your secrets, haha!"
Xiao Nanfeng was sent flying time and again. The cultivators of the alliance, hidden in the distance, fretted.
"Is that a Heaven Immortal? He\'s simply too strong!"
"He\'s striking rapidly at City Lord Xiao, as though worried that he might be able to counterattack."
"What should we do?"
The cultivators watched on anxiously.
Although Xiao Nanfeng was sent flying time and again, he was largely uninjured. Even so, he would have to do something about it quickly. Strong though the Imposing Avatar of Rulai was, essentially all its potency was in defense at the moment.
Xiao Nanfeng crashed into the ruins of a mountain.
"Xiao Nanfeng, it looks like you don\'t have any trump cards up your sleeve. I\'ll claim your soul for myself, then!" The white-robed man laughed as he shot into the ruins.
Just then, a huge howl came from within, so loud that it shattered the boulders and rock fragments in the vicinity and formed a tempest. The white-robed man was sent flying far faster than when he entered.
He spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air as he stabilized himself, glancing at the dust emerging from the ruins in shock. "Impossible. Who are you?!"
From within the ruins emerged a dragon-headed humanoid dressed in an emperor\'s clothes, a crown on his head. A domineering aura suffused the air around him. He was the one who had sent the white-robed man flying.
"That\'s the Dragon Yanluo\'s cursed spiritual avatar!" one cultivator shouted from the forest in the distance.
