The Arrogant Immortal
Chapter 418 - 417 Midway Ambush

Chapter 418: Chapter 417 Midway Ambush

The Tianxu Sect’s Flying Boat, marked with the Sect’s emblem, was still intercepted by outsiders, clearly indicating that the newcomers bore ill will.

The next moment, a loud boom echoed.

Outside the Flying Boat, powerhouses were battling.

Startled, Xie Jiuniang used her Divine Sense to check the exterior of the Flying Boat.

She saw Lord Guangluo engaged in combat with a Demon Cultivator, and there were also people controlling a large group of flying Demonic Beasts attacking the Flying Boat, currently being held off by two Nascent Soul Elders.

The Golden Core Disciples in the hall were in an uproar, some exclaimed in shock,

"A Great Demon Cultivator? What do they want?"

"Have Demon Cultivators become so bold, to brazenly intercept the Tianxu Sect’s Flying Boat?"

"The newcomers bear ill will; we must be ready."

"There are too many high-level Demonic Beasts, we can’t win against a crowd, but we should be able to handle one or two."

Fortunately, after resting for three days, everyone’s injuries had mostly healed, except for a few disciples who were severely injured.

At this moment, Xie Jiuniang was secretly anxious.

Brother Raoyang was still receiving treatment; what if the interruption affected it? She quickly scurried up to the second floor.

The Nascent Soul Elder controlling the Flying Boat did not stop Xie Jiuniang.

"Little Yuanxi, just take a look, but don’t disturb them. This is a critical moment," the Elder reminded her.

Xie Jiuniang nodded, whispering, "I’ll just take a look to see if I can be of any help."

The one treating Raoyang had been replaced by Mo Chuan.

Lord Sujin was helping to stabilize the Bloodthirsty Insects inside Raoyang’s body.

Mo Chuan processed the Floating Silver Saintly Flower into a liquid, then combined it with Rootless Water and several Spirit Plants, gradually drawing out the multitude of Bloodthirsty Insects parasitizing Raoyang’s body.

One by one, the Floating Silver Saintly Flowers were being consumed.

The insects crawled out of Raoyang’s body, and as soon as they emerged, Mo Chuan captured them into a wooden box and sealed it.

This process kept repeating.

With only those less than a hundred years old remaining, Mo Chuan processed them into liquid again, "This amount isn’t enough, it won’t draw out the Insect King. We can only eliminate some of the lower tiers."

The Insect King was being suppressed by Lord Sujin and couldn’t cause trouble for the time being.

But without suppression, it was a different story.

Therefore, it was necessary to draw out the Insect King as soon as possible.

Lord Sujin suddenly looked up at the door, where Xie Jiuniang stood.

Following her gaze, Mo Chuan also saw the person outside.

Xie Jiuniang’s expression remained unchanged, she was about to speak when she suddenly noticed movement within the Small Tortoise Shell; Little Fatty had returned from the treasure vault, his little white feet covered in mud.

Little Fatty was chuckling gleefully, clearly very happy.

Xie Jiuniang hurriedly transmitted a message, "Child, are there Floating Silver Saintly Flowers in the medicine garden? If so, pick a thousand-year-old one."

"Yeah, there are."

Little Fatty, having just come out, went back in again.

Moments later, with a thought from Xie Jiuniang, a Floating Silver Saintly Flower appeared in her hand.

The Mo Family was an aristocratic family of medicine, and almost all growable Spiritual Medicines were planted in Medical Immortal Valley, often using Formations to modify the environment to suit the growth of Spirit Plants.

Floating Silver Saintly Flowers were cultivated by many forces within the Cultivation World.

It’s just that there weren’t many of great age.

When Xie Jiuniang suddenly pulled out a thousand-year-old Floating Silver Saintly Flower, it was difficult to explain its origin.

Because she hadn’t had one before, and now she suddenly did?

But at this time, she couldn’t possibly ignore Raoyang’s life just to avoid suspicion.

Xie Jiuniang handed over the flower that was gently enveloped by Spiritual Energy and seemingly emitting a holy light, the Floating Silver Saintly Flower.

With exactly fourteen petals, it was just a thousand years old.

Mo Chuan took the flower from Xie Jiuniang’s hand, his eyes flashed with a profound light, Xie Jiuniang noticed his strange expression but thought nothing more of it.

It was just a flower, after all.

He couldn’t possibly connect a single flower to the Mo Family’s medicinal garden, could he?

What Xie Jiuniang didn’t know was that others truly did deduce a major secret from just a flower.

This Floating Silver Saintly Flower was freshly picked.

Its cut stem was still extremely fresh.

And it looked very similar to what he had seen in his childhood. Before he had joined the Tianxu Sect, he followed his ancestor for a time, taking care of a secret medicine garden. The details of every blade of grass and flower in that garden had long been imprinted in his mind.

One of the flowers just happened to have the imprint of a child’s fingernail.

It was one he had made himself when he was a child.

Mo Chuan sighed in his heart but didn’t say much, quickly refining the Floating Silver Holy Flower into a liquid, then mixing it with Rootless Water, and began to extract the Blood Devouring Bug King. The process had to be extremely careful, for while ordinary Bloodthirsty Insects had no intelligence, the Bug King had begun to show signs of it.

Fortunately, there was a Divinity Transformation helping.

As a result, a crimson and ugly insect was slowly drawn out from Raoyang’s body. This insect had a hard shell on its back, was several times larger than the previous Bloodthirsty Insects, and had two short antennas on its head.

Just when success was in sight, half of the bug’s body had emerged.

Bang!

Disaster struck unexpectedly!

The Flying Boat was hit, causing a shockwave that scared the Bug King and made it retract back inside.

The sounds of fighting outside could not penetrate the barrier of the room. However, the turbulence caused by the attack on the Flying Boat could not be prevented.

Xie Jiuniang witnessed all this and was so furious she almost wanted to vomit blood.

"The Bug King is frightened, Lord, hurry and suppress it," Mo Chuan urged immediately.

At this moment, the Bug King was extremely irritable.

There wasn’t an inch of good skin left on Raoyang. As the Bug King thrashed wildly inside him, he twisted his face in pain, and his body struggled violently.

Lord Sujin took action again and forcibly suppressed the Bug King.

If it were any other kind of insect, it could be directly killed by Divine Sense, but this was not the case for Bloodthirsty Insects. Their death releases a lethal toxin that can kill a person instantly. Therefore, it was necessary to draw them out of the body before killing them.

Demonic Beasts attacked the Flying Boat from outside.

Several bypassed the Elders and were attacking the Flying Boat’s defensive Barrier.

Xie Jiuniang had a cold and frosty face.

She flew out from the second-floor window.

With a Broken Sword in her hand, she swung out fiercely.

She was using the first form of the Zhantian technique.

Instantaneously, she slew a high-level Demonic Beast that was about to crash into the Flying Boat, splattering beast blood and staining the sky red.

Impressive!

Those who saw this scene were deeply shocked.

A Golden Core wielding a sword killing a Nascent Soul-level Demonic Beast—no one would believe it if they did not witness it with their own eyes!

Xie Jiuniang went to intercept another Demonic Beast.

The Golden Core Disciples, who were ready to act on the main deck and who were spectating, couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.

"The Little Profiteer is so strong!"

"Yeah, yeah, too strong! It feels like we are cultivating a different kind of Immortal Realm."

"What kind of swordsmanship is that? It’s so powerful. A single sword can kill a Nascent Soul Demonic Beast. Who in our Sect can do that? I’m talking about Golden Core Disciples."

"It seems no one can do that..."

Another Demonic Beast was about to crash into the Flying Boat.

A number of late-stage Golden Core Disciples joined forces to block the beast, while others assisted from behind—some throwing Talismans or using flying swords to resist approaching birds.

With Xie Jiuniang’s participation, the situation gradually turned for the better.

Every flying beast that came close to her was slain by a single sword strike. In the airspace where she stood, the rich scent of blood filled the surroundings.

Each flying beast died a gruesome death.

All were cleaved into two by a single sword strike.

Wherever the sword’s light passed, there was no escape, continuously reaping lives.

This made the Demonic Beasts rushing up halt in their tracks, recovering some of their wits even under the compulsion of their masters, cautiously sizing up Xie Jiuniang and the blood-dripping Broken Sword in her hands.

The Broken Sword glowed faintly, mysteriously alluring.

It felt very dangerous, even more fearsome than its wielder.

In the main hall, the injured and non-assisting Disciples watched this scene, dumbfounded, forgetting to breathe.

This person, was she truly...

A great killing god?!
