Immortal Venerable's Order
Chapter 465 - 458: Never Compromise

Chapter 465: Chapter 458: Never Compromise

"Impossible? Absolutely impossible!"

Lei Ming kept shaking his head. He simply couldn’t believe that Yan Rufeng, who was at the Immortal Monarch Realm, could be a match for Xiao Chuan.

However, the facts were laid bare before his eyes, forcing him to believe otherwise.

At this moment, an unspeakable fear surged in Lei Ming’s heart.

"Lei Ming!"

Yan Rufeng’s fierce gaze fixed on Lei Ming.

"If you sever ties with Gudu Mohan, all the grievances from our past lives will be erased."

"Heh!"

Lei Ming sneered, "Who doesn’t know you, Yan Rufeng, as someone who always avenges grudges? Why should I believe you wouldn’t pursue the matter from twelve years ago?"

Yan Rufeng slowly replied, "For the continued prosperity of the Immortal Domain, I can only set aside personal enmities and join forces with you against Gudu Mohan and the unknown calamities ahead!"

"Haha!"

Lei Ming laughed loudly, "Yan Rufeng, do you think I would believe you with just those words?"

Then, Lei Ming raised his voice, "Yan Rufeng, stop pretending to be merciful in front of me. I, Lei Ming, don’t want to have any dealings with you. Since you have come today, let’s settle old scores and seek our revenge. Draw your sword."

Yan Rufeng shook his head and smiled slightly.

"Brother Lei, the Canglan Immortal Sect is gone. I don’t want you to follow in Xiao Chuan’s footsteps. I just hope you understand that when the snipe and the clam quarrel, the fisherman benefits. Once Gudu Mohan’s conspiracy succeeds, it will spell disaster for the Immortal Domain."

"Yan Rufeng!"

Lei Ming roared angrily.

"Damn it! Stop talking nonsense in front of me. If you won’t make a move, then I won’t be polite either."

"Thunderstorm Strike, Fall!"

The moment Lei Ming said he would attack, he launched an assault on Yan Rufeng.

"Boom..."

A clap of thunder roared beside Yan Rufeng’s ear.

Yan Rufeng stood with his hands behind his back and shook his head.

"Lei Ming, have you forgotten? Except for the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, I’m immune to all Mysterious Thunder damage. No matter how strong you are, if I don’t move or counterattack, how long do you think you can hold up?"

Lei Ming suddenly remembered that during their previous contest for the title of the Immortal Domain’s first war god, he fell short because Yan Rufeng was immune to his Mysterious Thunder attacks, losing his chance at the title.

"Crack..."

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck Yan Rufeng, dazzling with electric light!

Seeing Yan Rufeng unharmed after taking his full-force attack, Lei Ming became furious with shame and summoned a long knife, charging at Yan Rufeng.

"Yan Rufeng, I will kill you."

As the sound of rushing wind reached his ears, Yan Rufeng did not dodge. A sudden burst of green light enveloped his body.

"Clang!"

The melodious, resonant sound of a sword echoed throughout Wanjie Mountain.

"Whoosh~"

The Creation Divine Sword traced a perfect arc in the air, hovering extravagantly in mid-air.

"Buzz!"

The green light grew stronger, instantly forming a Sword Qi barrier in front of Lei Ming.

"Bang..." A loud thud as Lei Ming, charging at high speed, collided with the Qi wall.

"Boom..."

The deafening sound of an explosion echoed through the heavens, and Lei Ming’s body flew uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.

"Sizzle..."

As Lei Ming landed on the ground, his body not yet stabilized, he felt intense turmoil in his internal energy and blood.

"Pff..."

A mouthful of thick blood spurted from Lei Ming!

Yan!

Ru!

Feng!

Wiping the blood from his mouth, Lei Ming snarled viciously, "No wonder Xiao Chuan wasn’t your match. It was all thanks to that damned sword on you!"

"Damned sword?"

"Daring to insult I, Divine Sword, you seek death!"

"Clang!"

The hum of the sword echoed, and the green light intensified.

"Xiao Jian."

Yan Rufeng commanded, "Stop being reckless."

"Master, he called me a damned sword. This baby can’t tolerate it!" The Creation Divine Sword said aggrievedly.

Yan Rufeng waved a hand, signaling the Creation Divine Sword to return to its spot behind him.

"Whoosh-whoosh~"

Reluctantly, the Creation Divine Sword floated back to hover behind Yan Rufeng.

Yan Rufeng then said slowly, "Lei Ming, for the sake of billions of lives in the Immortal Domain, let’s put aside all personal grudges and unite against the common enemy."

"Haha..."

Lei Ming laughed up at the sky.

"Yan Rufeng, with your current cultivation, you are no match for Gudu Mohan. Don’t think I don’t know; you want to use me to get rid of Gudu Mohan."

"Once Gudu Mohan is dead, you would turn against me and kill me. You, Yan Rufeng, are indeed a master strategizer."

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng let out a bitter smile, shaking his head in dismay.

"Do you think I, Yan Rufeng, am that kind of person?"

"Whether you are or not, you know better than anyone!"

Lei Ming roared.

"A thousand years ago, for the sake of your disciple, you personally destroyed an immortal sect with a legacy of millions of years."

"Someone as vengeful as you, do you think I would cooperate with you?"

Lei Ming’s roars echoed in Yan Rufeng’s ears.

"Brother Lei!"

Yan Rufeng spoke calmly, "I admit, in the past life, I indeed went too far in some matters. But you must understand, everything I did was to maintain order in the Immortal Domain..."

"Yan Rufeng!"

Lei Ming shouted.

"Stop wasting your breath. Even if I, Lei Ming, were to die, I would never cooperate with you. Do what you will; kill me or flay me!"

"Heh!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled.

"Brother Lei, in that case, there’s nothing more to say."

Yan Rufeng turned around slowly, hands still behind his back.

"Brother Lei, regardless of what you did to me in the past life, for the sake of billions of lives, I will no longer pursue it."

At that moment, Yan Rufeng’s body trembled, unleashing a boundless pressure that instantly covered the entire Wanjie Mountain.

Everyone within Wanjie Mountain, from the Immortal Monarch Realm down, felt like they were facing a great enemy, overwhelmed by fear and finding it hard to breathe.

The pressure Yan Rufeng released surged like tides, palpable to even disciples above the Immortal Emperor Realm on Wanjie Mountain, including Lei Ming himself. It was clear that if Yan Rufeng wished it, Wanjie Mountain could be obliterated in an instant...

"Lei Ming, from now on, if you continue to conspire with Gudu Mohan, don’t blame me for not warning you. I hope you will take care..."

With a "whoosh," Yan Rufeng disappeared from Lei Ming’s sight.

As the pressure lifted, Lei Ming collapsed to the ground, relieved.

Cold sweat streaming down, Lei Ming’s gaze was scattered as he muttered, "He’s still as powerful as ever. Even without the Divine Sword, I’m no match for Yan Rufeng."

"Sigh!"

He let out a long sigh.

"I didn’t expect Yan Rufeng to let bygones be bygones. Could it be that Gudu Mohan is truly as Yan Rufeng said, that he will bring demonic calamity upon the Immortal Domain? If that’s the case, haven’t I made a grave mistake..."

"Nephew Lei..."

An old voice called out.

Lei Ming slowly raised his head and quickly stood up, bowing, "Elder Sect Master Tang, what brings you to Wanjie Mountain!"

Just as Yan Rufeng left, Tang Liben had arrived at Wanjie Mountain.

"Hehe!"

"Nephew Lei, what happened to you? Why are you in such a sorry state!"

"Heh!"

Lei Ming forced a slight smile.

"You’ve got me all figured out."
