CHAPTER 1540: CHAPTER 1539: ASSASSIN STRIKES

The Beigong War God waved his hand at Lü Donglin, indicating that he need not worry.

Then, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the Beigong War God swiftly charged out, instantly rushing into the array.

"There is a path to heaven yet you choose not to take it, no door to hell yet you barge in!" The Second Elder of the Medicine Sect shouted loudly, "Kill!"

The crowd was already prepared. At the same time as the Second Elder’s shout, these people all struck, each unleashing a beam of light. These beams intertwined in the air, forming a net of light that directly enveloped the Beigong War God standing within!

The Beigong War God’s body wavered, almost being pressed down by this net of light. However, he forcefully withstood the power of this net of light, standing firmly upright.

The Terrestrial Immortals were all shocked; they knew well enough the power of this net of light. In their eyes, this net could directly crush the Beigong War God to pieces, but who could have imagined that he would manage to stand under such pressure!

After a moment of shock, the Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master was the first to regain his senses, shouting, "Let’s see how long you can last, kill!"

The crowd regained their senses, all shouting loudly, continuously increasing the power of that net of light, intending to crush the Beigong War God to death alive.

The Beigong War God did not retreat in the slightest, forcefully withstanding that net of light, moving forward step by step. Each step seemed to use up all his strength; even when he once bore a mountain, it didn’t feel this oppressive. Now, the force of the light net pressing on his body was terrifyingly immense!

Those Terrestrial Immortals were the most astonished; for the Beigong War God to resist this net of light was already no easy task, let alone to move forward under such circumstances, it was beyond comprehension for them.

Everyone was shaken and terrified in their hearts. If such a powerhouse as the Beigong War God was not killed today, there would surely be endless troubles left behind!

"Hundred Battle Blade!" The Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master shouted again.

The others had long been considering this move. Hearing him, they united their efforts, and their collective power in the air condensed into a massive long blade.

The long blade was about seven or eight zhang long, with a handle approximately one zhang long, suspended in the air, exuding a chilling aura. Even without approaching, everyone could feel the overwhelming pressure emanating from the blade. There was no doubt in their minds that if this long blade were to strike, it could cleave distant mountain tops cleanly off!

The Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master flew directly above the long blade, took a deep breath, and his body instantly enlarged several times, transforming into a giant three zhang tall. He gripped the handle of the long blade, let out a roar, and slashed down fiercely towards the Beigong War God below!

"Uncle!" Lü Donglin exclaimed in shock, wanting to go to the rescue, but he couldn’t get there in time.

Beside him, Su Yang and the Black Widow also watched, dumbstruck. The combined power of these Terrestrial Immortals was indeed terrifying!

The Beigong War God, controlled by the net of light, had no way to dodge. Seeing the long blade slash directly towards him, the Beigong War God frowned, his fists clenching tightly, ready to meet the long blade head-on.

Just then, a beam of light suddenly struck, shattering the long blade with a crash, leaving nothing behind.

The Sky Sword Peak’s Peak Master, holding the long blade, was also directly knocked flying, vomiting blood repeatedly. His body swiftly returned to its original form, collapsing to the ground, barely breathing.

The surrounding crowd was all shaken, and at this moment, the Beigong War God let out a roar, forcibly breaking through the light net.

All the Terrestrial Immortals around stepped back simultaneously, all looking at the Beigong War God in shock. Although they had been somewhat distracted moments ago, and their grip on power had weakened considerably, it was still the combined strength of so many Terrestrial Immortals—how could it just be broken by the Beigong War God?

The Beigong War God burst out from the net of light and swiftly attacked one of the Terrestrial Immortals. This Terrestrial Immortal was startled, and hurriedly dodged, but it was too late. The Beigong War God punched through his body directly.

The other Terrestrial Immortals around exclaimed; the Second Elder of the Medicine Sect hurriedly shouted, "Form the array! Form the array!"

But how could the Beigong War God give them the chance to form an array? He acted swiftly, shattering the bodies of two more Terrestrial Immortals in succession.

"Beigong, enough!" A light drink came from the distant sky.

The Beigong War God frowned slightly, but he finally stopped. The Terrestrial Immortals around quickly blocked him, intending to make a move again.

Just then, a figure flew in from the distant sky. Everyone saw clearly that it was the assassin, holding a pet dog in his arms.

Seeing the assassin arrive, Su Yang instantly let out a sigh of relief. With him here, there was no need to worry about anything.

The crowd at the scene was shocked, for they all recognized the assassin, naturally knowing how terrifying this person’s strength was.

However, they were still unwilling to give in. The Second Elder of the Medicine Sect said sternly, "Assassin, what do you mean by this? This is a private grudge between our four sects and the Beigong War God. Are you getting involved to interfere with the affairs of our four sects?"

"Your private grudge, of course I won’t meddle!" The assassin said coldly, "However, in doing anything, reason and rules must be adhered to. If you don’t follow the rules, then I cannot stand by!"

"How are we not following the rules?" Second Elder said angrily.

"Terrestrial Immortals should not strike against mortals—did you forget this rule?" the assassin retorted.

"Are you a law enforcer?" Second Elder indignantly retorted.

"I may not be a law enforcer, but this rule is understood by all Terrestrial Immortals!" the assassin said coldly, "Just like in the mortal world, when the police are absent, does it mean mortals can kill at will?"

"You are arguing irrationally!" Second Elder said angrily, "I don’t want to argue this nonsense with you. Today this is between our Four Great Sects and them, it has nothing to do with you. If you want to intervene, you’re interfering with our affairs!"

"Since you said so, then I have no choice but to interfere in your affairs." The assassin stepped forward slowly, then suddenly shouted, "I’m here to tip the scales today, so what? Want to fight? Solo or gang fight? Are you all coming at once, or one by one?"

The Second Elder of the Medicine Sect was instantly dumbfounded, unable to speak.

He originally intended to drive the assassin away with words, but who could have thought the assassin would confront him so unreasonably, leaving him at a loss for what to say.

Although there were dozens of Terrestrial Immortals present, but if it came to a real fight, even combined, they were no match for the assassin. The top expert among Terrestrial Immortals did not gain his reputation undeservedly!

"You... you can’t be unreasonable..." After a long while, Second Elder finally said.

"I was reasoning with you earlier, but you didn’t engage with me." The assassin said coldly, "Now you want to reason with me? And why should I?"
