The Arrogant Immortal
Chapter 334 - 333 Demise

Chapter 334: Chapter 333 Demise

Su Buchen now regretted it deeply.

Just a moment earlier, Su Buhui had mentioned to him that he had a bad feeling and wanted to retreat early, but he convinced him to stay. Now looking back, that was their only chance at survival, and he had decisively cut it off.

Together, the two brothers’ strength had increased exponentially.

They were not easy to defeat in a short amount of time, and there was also the fear of a cornered dog’s desperate leap.

Suddenly, Lord Ying’an used a Sound Transmission Talisman to communicate with everyone, "Find a way to separate the two, then defeat them one by one."

This suggestion was exactly what everyone wanted to hear.

Suddenly, Su Buchen shouted to Chaoruo and the others from the Tianxu Sect, "Fellow Daoists of the Tianxu Sect, the Su Family of the Northern Region has no intention of being your enemy. Could you grant us a way to live?"

"Today, nearly half of our disciples almost lost their lives to your schemes. And now you have the nerve to say you don’t wish to be our enemy?" Chaoruo sneered lightly in response.

Su Buchen seethed with silent fury.

Being caught in a bind, anything he said was futile.

Su Buchen continued, "A large vein of Spirit Stones in exchange for my brother’s and my life today—"

Bang!

Su Buchen defended himself against the attack.

The massive impact sent him flying dozens of feet backward.

As Su Buchen was yet to steady himself, another figure suddenly rushed toward him and delivered a close-range strike.

This strike was accompanied by an extreme flame.

The flame was exceedingly dangerous; Su Buchen couldn’t dodge in time and could not fully block it, causing his Vestment robe to catch fire.

No matter how he tried to extinguish it, the flames could not be put out!

"Third Brother!"

Su Buhui, upon seeing this, was extremely anxious.

"Pu—"Su Buhui was sneak-attacked.

In a battle of Divinity Transformation, any distraction could lead to a continuous retreat and was lethal.

The situation was completely one-sided.

Xie Jiuniang narrowed her eyes as Jian Lingyan explained to her, "It’s about time. Those two are at the end of their strength. If Su Buchen hadn’t spoken just now, Xuan Qing wouldn’t have found the opportunity to knock one away, and Master Chaoyan seized the chance for a fatal blow!"

"Isn’t the man still alive?" Xie Jiuniang asked, looking at Su Buchen who had turned into a fire man.

"He’s as good as dead; that’s Vermilion Bird’s Flame, and it even conceals a wisp of Nangong’s South Ming Separating Fire." Jian Lingyan shuddered at the mention of the South Ming Separating Fire.

Xie Jiuniang’s eyes gleamed slightly.

At this moment, she overheard Lord Xiaoyuan and others conversing.

The Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Wuji Sect said, "Daring to be distracted during a fight is seeking death."

No one answered those words, but someone asked, "What kind of flame is that?"

"Not sure, but it looks somewhat like Vermilion Bird’s Flame."

"Hehe." The smile carried a subtle nuance.

Perhaps these people had noticed something but refrained from speaking overtly because there was a young girl present.

Xie Jiuniang pretended not to hear.

In the end, the Su brothers lay dead one after another, without even a chance to self-destruct. This outcome made the onlooking cultivators from other Sects shiver.

Su Buchen was burned to ash, losing everything he had on him.

In contrast, Nangong Jun and Su Buhui, who were killed by a sure-kill strike, didn’t even have time to destroy their Storage Rings.

The events of the day came to a temporary close.

The Divinity Transformation cultivators of the Tianxu Sect lifted the spatial seal, and once the scene was cleaned up by the nine of them, they left with long strides.

It was as if these nine had nothing to do with the Tianxu Sect.

The onlooking cultivators from other Sects had nothing to say, because shortly after the nine left, they disappeared without a trace.

Some Divinity Transformation cultivators seeing that the show was over, followed suit and left.

Xie Jiuniang signaled for Broken Sword to fly towards Chaoruo.

Seeing her, Chaoruo’s head began to ache, "It’s dangerous here, and you dare to come over."

Xie Jiuniang grinned, "Isn’t that because you’re here?"

"Don’t try to be clever, hurry back."

"As you command." Xie Jiuniang mounted her sword and flew toward the Sect.

After flying for a while, she unexpectedly ran into Xuanyuan You and Song Baobao.

Xuanyuan You approached excitedly and asked, "Little Profiteer, is that really you? It’s so good that you’re unharmed!"

Xie Jiuniang gave a smile but didn’t say much.

Song Baobao came over and chuckled, "Xiaojiu, how come you’re back?"

"The matter in the back mountain is over—you guys arrived too late," Xie Jiuniang said as she looked the two up and down.

Flying at the Foundation Establishment stage was a bit slow.

Flying from the Sect to the back mountain took some time, and the Divinity Transformation battle there was uneven in numbers, so when calculated, it hadn’t been long.

All in all, it took just over an hour.

Next, Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You sat down on Song Baobao’s flying device.

The three of them sat together, Xuanyuan You and Song Baobao eager to listen to Xie Jiuniang recount the big battle in the back mountain.

Xie Jiuniang said calmly, "It all went like this from when I arrived and watched the battle with a few Divinity Transformation cultivators..."

She described the situation at that time with her words.

Xie Jiuniang’s tone was plain, without much fluctuation, but even so, Xuanyuan You and Song Baobao were fascinated, occasionally interjecting with questions.

In the end, Xie Jiuniang concluded, "When it comes down to it, this big battle wasn’t as interesting as a piece of gossip I heard."

"What gossip?" Xuanyuan You’s curiosity was piqued.

"It’s nothing much, just that a Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Wuji Sect seems to have peeked at an Immortal bathing when he was young. I’m quite curious about which Immortal it was."

"Ah, I want to know too,"

"What’s there to wonder about? When we get back, I’ll ask my ancestor; I’m sure he knows,"

"..."

In the shadows, Lord Guangcheng’s temple throbbed.

This headache-inducing thing was causing trouble again.

Next to him, Lord Xiaoyuan couldn’t help but chuckle, "Guangcheng, since you knew, I’m quite curious as well."

"Get lost, you brat!" Guangcheng teased with a laugh.

The others laughed along, and someone feigned consolation, "It’s nothing, Guangcheng. Which family doesn’t have a few troublesome youngsters?"

"Hahaha..."

Lord Guangcheng decided to confine that boy to solitary confinement for a while when he returned to the Sect to get his unrestrained mouth under control, that had tarnished his, the old ancestor’s, reputation.

Just at that moment, Xuanyuan You sneezed out of the blue, "Who’s plotting against me behind my back?"

Song Baobao laughed heartily.

Only Xie Jiuniang had a complex look on her face, giving Xuanyuan You a sympathetic glance.

Just now, Jian Lingyan had relayed to her the conversation of a group of Divinity Transformation cultivators not far away.

Her instinct was telling her that Xuanyuan You was going to be unlucky when they got back to the Sect.

As Xie Jiuniang had expected, as soon as they arrived at the Sect, Xuanyuan You was whisked away by Lord Guangcheng, Song Baobao was taken by Lord Xiaoyuan, and Xie Jiuniang received a Sound Transmission Talisman from Chaoruo.

She rode on Broken Sword, going straight to the Main Peak.

In the great hall of Main Peak, some of the Sect’s powerhouses were sitting.

There was no Yan Lao and the others, but as expected, she saw Chaoyan.

Chaoyan waved her over, speaking with an affectionate expression, "My good Disciple, you must have been frightened this time, come and sit by your Master."

Xie Jiuniang felt a chill down her spine.

She always suspected that her Master was preparing to settle accounts afterwards.

In her foresight, she had gotten through without danger, but when speaking with Chaoruo, she subconsciously hid the matter of the Semi-Immortal Artifact exploding; if she had spoken about it, her Master would never have allowed her to compete in the arena.

Similarly, on this matter...

Xie Jiuniang admitted she had a bit of selfishness.

The incident had caused too big of a commotion, entailing quite a few Disciples getting injured.

"Master, quite a few Disciples were implicated by me this time. I’ve decided to donate two billion Spirit Stones to the Sect to compensate those who were injured," Xie Jiuniang immediately declared, quite generously.

Chaoyan’s lips curved slightly, "Very well."
