Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 330 - 328: The Appearance of the Flying Sword

Chapter 330: Chapter 328: The Appearance of the Flying Sword

Xuan Tian’s words had barely faded when Heming Mountain suddenly began to tremble violently.

Boulders tumbled down, shaking the earth to its core.

Just when everyone was utterly astonished, they saw a dazzling white light, gently rising up from below the fog-enshrouded valley.

The light was so bright and intense that it stung one’s eyes, making it impossible to see clearly just what kind of magical treasure it was.

Seeing this, Li Chen’s pupils contracted sharply.

After a long while, he squeezed four words through his clenched teeth: "Is this a flying sword?"

The flying sword was the most common magical treasure in the Cultivation World, basically present everywhere like market goods.

However, in a place like Earth where cultivation was in its twilight age, this was a supernatural treasure that countless top-tier experts would go mad over.

Normally, only someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage, that is, those who’ve ascended to the God Realm, would be able to wield a flying sword.

The God Realm was considered mythological on Earth, and even unbeatable heroes like War God Li Lingtian and Heavenly Master Taoist Sect Leader Xuan Tian were merely at the Demigod Realm. For them to reach the true God Realm was still a long and arduous journey.

The rarity and preciousness of the flying sword could be seen from this.

Seeing that Li Chen had named the treasure in one go, Xuan Tian’s murky eyes immediately revealed a hint of surprise.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

"Worthy of being Immortal Master Li, indeed, this is a flying sword. It is the town-protecting treasure left by our Heavenly Taoist founder Zhang Daoling, known as Zhang Ling Sword. To fall under this flying sword is a respectable end for you, and you can be proud!"

Before his words ended, thunder already exploded.

The clear sky, cloudless for miles, suddenly darkened. Thunderclouds rolled in, obscuring the sun.

A beam of light shot out from the Zhang Ling Sword, like roaring thunder and raging wind, soaring straight into the Nine Heavens Clouds.

The muscles at the corners of Xuan Tian’s mouth twitched wildly, making him look extremely ferocious.

He raised his head to look at the sky, then at Li Chen standing before him, and roared: "Zhang Ling Sword, strike!"

The Zhang Ling Sword transformed into a rainbow sword light, with the momentum to topple the ancient and sweep the world, slashing towards Li Chen.

In an instant, the air was filled with a torrential sword rain, the whole world became awfully silent and stern.

With just this one strike, Li Chen’s strongest technique, Sun and Moon Dual Brilliance, became an expended force. Even his Golden Bell Protective Gang Qi became perilously unstable.

Had he not been an expert in cultivation, knowing how to defend against this flying sword technique, this single strike might have claimed his life on the spot!

"Roar roar!"

The Jiao Long, which had just swallowed the Immortal Crane, seeing Li Chen injured, let out a furious roar towards the sky and lunged forward, teeth bared and claws flashing.

"Beast, die!"

Seeing the Jiao Long charging, Xuan Tian swung the second sword at it.

"Clang!"

The Jiao Long, not knowing any cultivation techniques, relied solely on its tough body to resist.

Although it had inherited half the bloodline of its bargain father, the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, it was not a true dragon. The slash left it with flesh split open, drenched in blood, and its bones nearly visible.

"Roar roar!"

The Jiao Long’s massive body was sent flying with a heavy crash. It looked at Li Chen with difficulty, emitting pained and sorrowful roars.

Seeing his two sword strikes reversing the situation, Xuan Tian’s mouth twitched excitedly, his fierce eyes turning upwards as he burst into a manic laugh.

Spectators munching on melons, witnessing such an inconceivable scene, all showed a change in color.

Local residents and ordinary tourists had long been scared silly, standing there like petrified chickens. Everything that happened today had completely overturned their understanding of the entire world.

Martial artists, relatively speaking, were in a slightly better situation. However, it was only just a bit better. The power of the Zhang Ling Sword was too terrifying, so terrifying that it exceeded their understanding of magical treasures.

"The Heavenly Master Sect actually has such a mountain suppressing divine artifact; it truly lives up to the reputation of an ancient mystical sect that has endured for a thousand years!" An elder from the Kongtong remarked with a tone laden with envy, jealousy, and hatred, sighing deeply.

"It is rumored that the founder of the Heavenly Master Sect, Zhang Daoling, was a Land Immortal who ascended to heaven in broad daylight. This Zhang Ling Sword is the mountain suppressing treasure he left behind for the sect after his ascension. Today, the divine weapon has appeared, proving that those marvelous rumors were not unfounded, and that Land Immortals truly existed in this world!" After the initial shock, the Vice Sect Leader of the Taiping Sect also let out an exclamation of amazement.

Hearing the term "Land Immortal," everyone present couldn’t help but reveal a respectful demeanor.

Land Immortals were the legendary beings that all martial artists dreamt of becoming.

The Qingcheng Sect Leader Ye Wuji, however, didn’t pay too much attention to these things. He had only recently advanced to the rank of Grandmaster, and was still very far from the God Realm, let alone the legendary Land Immortals.

What he cared about most now was that his sworn enemy was on the verge of retribution. The arrogant Immortal Master Li was finally tasting his own medicine and would soon be laid to rest.

Thinking of this, Ye Wuji was overcome with emotion and tears welled in his eyes; he clasped his hands together and bowed thrice to the heavens: "My son Canghai, look, your nemesis Immortal Master Li will soon be beheaded and fall eternally into the hell of reincarnation. The heavens are truly just, truly just!"

At the same time, Qin Tianlong, Zhang Tianrui, and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale as death.

Qin Qing was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing anxiously in circles, while beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down her fair forehead like rain.

Even Zhao Yuqing, who thought she had seen through life and death, was at this moment clasping her hands together, silently praying for Li Chen.

Shen Xingchen’s pale hands tightly clutched at the hem of her clothes, nearly tearing it apart, her palms damp with fine beads of sweat.

Hidden in the shadows, the Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, and White Tiger looked at each other, with wary expressions on their faces.

White Tiger licked his dry lips and asked, "Should we make a move?"

Xuanwu didn’t answer, instead casting a sidelong glance at the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird bit her lip tightly and said, "That’s a divine artifact of a Land Immortal, even if the three of us make our move, it won’t be enough to withstand a single sword strike from Xuan Tian; it will be useless. Let’s just wait and see what happens!"

After saying these ruthless words, she turned her gaze elsewhere.

If one looked closely, they would find that the eyes of this ice queen were already slightly reddened.

...

"Immortal Master Li, in your next life, remember not to be too arrogant!"

The word "arrogant" was still rolling off Xuan Tian’s tongue as he raised the Zhang Ling Sword again, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Li Chen.

However, as soon as he lifted the Zhang Ling Sword, his body swayed uncontrollably like a reed shaken by the wind.

Although this movement was very slight, it still didn’t escape Li Chen’s eyes.

Xuan Tian, who had already swung two sword strikes, was at the end of his strength; the remaining True Yuan couldn’t support a third strike.

Noticing this, Li Chen wiped the faint trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and said with a cold smile, "Sect Leader Xuan Tian, if you had entered the God Realm, you might have been a threat to me, but sadly..."

After saying the word "sadly," Li Chen didn’t continue but instead gave Xuan Tian a wicked smile.

Feeling a bit guilty under that gaze, Xuan Tian raised his voice a few notches and hysterically shouted, "Rascal, even facing imminent death, you dare to be insolent. Today, you are doomed to die without a doubt, even if War God Li Lingtian himself comes, he cannot save you!"

The wound from the surgery I had two days ago got a bit infected. After getting IV drips at noon, I will update the second Chapter in the afternoon or evening!

Thank you to those who understand and support the author junior, truly grateful!

There are also some readers who have said some unkind words about Little Le’s updating schedule, and a few more extreme ones have sent their ’best regards’ to my whole family. If the book were already on sale and charging, you all could curse as much as you like. But now the book is free, I really don’t understand why you’re scolding me?
