146: You call this an earth immortal?

The air was filled with the aroma of bone soup.

Chu Xuanjin ate his noodles unhurriedly, the slurping sound appearing exceptionally clear on the empty long street.

Surrounding him, a circle of Hegemon Blade Sect Disciples dressed in black and gold martial attire knelt neatly on the ground, their bodies trembling like sieves in the wind.

The leader, Li Hu, had one side of his face swollen high like a ripe pig's head, and the blood foam mixed with saliva in his mouth dripped onto the ground, not even daring to take a deep breath.

Pedestrians and vendors by the street had long retreated over a hundred meters away, craning their necks and watching from afar with eyes that looked as if they were observing a god or a madman.

An Earth Immortal.

Used a single noodle to cripple the weapons of several Heavenly Immortals.

And used an unheard-of, bizarre immortal technique to make that leading Heavenly Immortal slap himself across the face.

This matter was too Xuanhuan.

So Xuanhuan that it made them wonder if they were dreaming.

"Step. Step. Step."

Just at this moment, a sound of unhurried footsteps came from the street entrance.

The crowd parted to both sides like a tidal wave.

A youth wearing black and gold brocade robes, with a handsome face but a sinister and arrogant air between his brows, walked over slowly, surrounded by a group of even more powerful guards.

Hanging at his waist was a shark-tooth battle saber with an exaggerated design, and the gems embedded in the hilt flashed with blinding brilliance under the sunlight.

He looked just like a peacock spreading its tail.

Hegemon Blade Sect Young Lord, Blade Reaching Heaven.

When he saw his subordinates, who were usually domineering, now kneeling like a group of quails waiting to be slaughtered before an unremarkable man.

Blade Reaching Heaven's footsteps stopped.

His face, which had originally worn a bit of arrogance, instantly turned so gloomy that water could drip from it.

"Li Hu."

He did not get angry; his voice was terrifyingly calm.

Li Hu, kneeling on the ground, heard this voice and his body trembled violently, shaking even more intensely.

"You… Young Lord…"

"Who told you to kneel?" Blade Reaching Heaven's gaze slowly swept over the kneeling subordinates, finally landing on the figure still burying his head in eating noodles.

A trace of extreme humiliation and cold killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Re… replying to Young Lord…" Li Hu said with a stutter, recounting what had just happened, adding embellishments and speaking incoherently.

He emphasized the strangeness of the opponent's methods, attempting to absolve himself of his own incompetence.

"A single noodle?"

"Slapping himself?"

After hearing this, Blade Reaching Heaven was not solemn at all; instead, he laughed.

He laughed with full contempt and disdain.

"Trash."

He spat out these two words coldly.

"A group of Heavenly Immortals, scared into kneeling and begging for mercy by an Earth Immortal using such street-conman tricks."

"You have truly thrown away all the face of our Hegemon Blade Sect."

He no longer looked at Li Hu and that bunch of trash, but locked his gaze entirely on Chu Xuanjin.

"Interesting."

He scrutinized Chu Xuanjin with amusement.

"There is indeed only the cultivation fluctuation of an Early-stage Earth Immortal on you. It seems you are relying on some secret treasure to hide your Aura, right?"

"To be able to let you toy with a group of Heavenly Immortals across Realms, the grade of that secret treasure must not be low."

He took it for granted and found an explanation he could accept for Chu Xuanjin's "power."

In his view, there could not possibly exist in this world a person who could cross a major Realm and still be so relaxed and at ease.

The only explanation was a Magic Treasure.

A bizarre Magic Treasure of an extremely High Grade.

"Kid."

Blade Reaching Heaven spoke in a condescending tone.

"I will give you a chance to survive."

"Hand over that secret treasure on you."

"Then, break both your arms, kneel here, and bark like a dog three times."

"I will treat today's matter as if it never happened."

He spoke as if it were a matter of course.

As if being able to let Chu Xuanjin break his own arms was a great favor.

Chu Xuanjin finally finished the last bite of noodles in the bowl.

He picked up the napkin on the side and wiped his mouth slowly.

Then, he raised his head, looked at Blade Reaching Heaven, and asked seriously.

"Are you serious about what you just said?"

"Hmm?" Blade Reaching Heaven raised an eyebrow.

"It seems you will not shed tears until you see the coffin."

Beside him, two old men with Auras as deep as the sea stepped forward.

Golden Immortal!

Two Early Stage Golden Immortal guards!

That terrifying pressure, like two great mountains, crashed down!

The air on the entire long street seemed to have solidified!

Those Cultivators watching from afar felt difficulty breathing and their Divine Souls trembling under this pressure, and they retreated crazily once again!

"Giving you one last chance."

Blade Reaching Heaven's voice was like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month.

"Hand it over, or not?"

However, at this tense moment.

A hoarse roar, full of anger yet carrying a bit of weakness, rang out from the crowd.

"In broad daylight, under the bright sky!"

"Bullying others with power, forcibly seizing and plundering!"

"Do you, Hegemon Blade Sect, even deserve to be called a righteous sect?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw a youth who was tall but thin as a stick, wearing tattered cloth clothes and covered in filth, stumbling out from the crowd.

One of his legs seemed to be injured, and he was limping as he walked.

Yet his spine was held straight.

In those eyes, still sharp as an eagle's beneath the messy hair, burned a raging, unyielding fire of anger.

"Another one looking for death?"

Blade Reaching Heaven saw this sudden intruder and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.

But when he saw the person's face clearly, he was first stunned, then a more intense playfulness and cruelty appeared on his face.

"I was wondering who it was."

"Isn't this our Eastern Region's former number one Prodigy, Senior Brother Lei Jingtian of the Purple Cloud Sacred Land?"

"What? After having your cultivation crippled by your good Revered Master and being expelled from the sect, have you now fallen to being a beggar?"

Lei Jingtian!

As soon as this name was mentioned, a sound of gasping in cold air suddenly erupted from the crowd!

Once upon a time, this name was thunderously famous throughout the entire Eastern Region!

Born with a Thunder Spirit Body!

Entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm at twenty, became a True Immortal at fifty, and was already at the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal Realm at one hundred!

Hailed as the existence with the most hope of reaching the Immortal King Realm in the Purple Cloud Sacred Land for a thousand years!

But just three years ago, this name suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Some said he had a mishap during Cultivating and suffered Qi Deviation.

Others said he offended a big shot in the Immortal Dynasty and was secretly executed.

Who could have thought that the former Prodigy would appear here in such a down-and-out, destitute state!

Chu Xuanjin's gaze also landed on this "uninvited guest."

【Heavenly Dao Dharma Eye】.

【Name】: Lei Jingtian

【Realm】: None (Spiritual Root shattered, immortal meridians completely destroyed)

【Root Bone】: Divine Grade (Thunder Spirit Body · Dormant)

【Luck】: Ashes Reigniting (Watched by a supreme existence, about to welcome a glimmer of vitality)

【Hidden Identity】: Former Saint of the Purple Cloud Sacred Land

【Recent Calamity】: Due to speaking out and offending Hegemon Blade Sect Young Lord Blade Reaching Heaven, about to be brutally murdered on the long street.

【Life Script】: ...Upright in character, hating evil as a personal enemy... Because he discovered the sect's transaction with the Demonic Path and wanted to report it to the Immortal Dynasty, he was personally crippled in cultivation, his Spiritual Root shattered, and expelled from the sect by his Revered Master, the "Immortal King Leiyuan"... Wandered for three years, suffering humiliation... Today, his life ends here...

A hint of amusement flashed in the depths of Chu Xuanjin's eyes.

Immortal King Leiyuan?

Purple Cloud Sacred Land?

This world really is small.

He had just dismantled their home, and now, a bitter "victim" was delivered to his doorstep?

And with a Divine Grade Root Bone at that?

This was simply someone delivering a pillow when he was sleepy.

Lei Jingtian ignored the sympathetic or gloating gazes around him.

His eyes were fixed firmly on Blade Reaching Heaven.

"I am no longer a person of the Purple Cloud Sacred Land!"

He said word by word.

"But even if I, Lei Jingtian, die here today!"

"I must also say one thing!"

"You bunch of scum! Trash! Who only know how to bully the weak!"

"Hahaha!" Blade Reaching Heaven seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and laughed until he was bent over.

"Scum? Trash?"

He stopped laughing, his eyes instantly becoming extremely sinister.

"A piece of trash without even cultivation, do you deserve to judge me?"

"Do you believe that I can crush you to death with just one finger right now?"

He extended a finger, and at the tip, a wisp of overbearing Saber Qi lingered.

"Three years ago, when you were high and mighty, I had to respectfully call you 'Senior Brother Thunder' when I saw you."

"But now…"

He shook his head, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"You are just a stray dog that I wouldn't even bother to step on!"

"I'm in a good mood today."

"I'll let you die with a bit more value."

He turned his head and looked at Chu Xuanjin again.

"I've changed my mind."

"Hand over your secret treasure, and then kill him with your own hands."

He pointed at Lei Jingtian.

"I will spare your life."

He liked to watch shows.

Especially the kind of drama where strong people fall and struggle to survive.

He wanted to see if this Earth Immortal would raise a butcher's knife against a former Prodigy just to survive.

That scene must be very interesting.

Chu Xuanjin sighed upon hearing this.

He felt that communicating with such a second-generation ancestor with a unique train of thought was a very tiring thing.

"Boss."

He turned his head and looked at the noodle stall owner who had long been scared silly.

"Check."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of High Grade Immortal Stone that was flashing with brilliant light from his bosom and threw it on the table casually.

That Immortal Stone radiated light, and the Immortal Qi contained within it was almost about to materialize!

Let alone the noodle stall owner, even the eyes of the two Golden Immortals beside Blade Reaching Heaven went straight!

High Grade Immortal Stone!

This thing, even for their Hegemon Blade Sect, couldn't produce a few pieces in a year!

This kid actually took it out casually to pay for a bowl of noodles?!

"You…" A more greedy light flashed in Blade Reaching Heaven's eyes!

He became more and more certain that this kid had a heavy treasure on him!

However, Chu Xuanjin didn't pay any attention to him at all.

He stood up and stretched, his bones making a crackling sound.

"I'm full from eating."

"And I've seen enough of the show."

"It's time to stretch my muscles."

He took a step out.

His figure instantly appeared beside Lei Jingtian.

He patted Lei Jingtian's shoulder, which was trembling violently due to anger and humiliation.

"Hey."

"Do you want revenge?"

He asked softly.

Lei Jingtian raised his head abruptly, looking at him with eyes that saw a madman.

Revenge?

What could he use to get revenge?

He was a cripple now!

"Kid! You dare to ignore me!"

Blade Reaching Heaven saw that Chu Xuanjin didn't put him in his eyes at all, and was instantly furious!

He felt that he had received unprecedented humiliation!

"Get him!"

"Cripple him! Grab everything on him for this Young Lord!"

He roared crazily!

The two Golden Immortal guards looked at each other and hesitated no more.

Their Golden Immortal Auras erupted!

One on the left and one on the right, they turned into two streams of light and pounced fiercely towards Chu Xuanjin!

"Hegemon Blade Soul Shattering!"

"Wild Sand Severing Blade!"

The two attacked at the same time, and it was a killing move!

Two completely different but equally overbearing and sharp blade lights sealed off all of Chu Xuanjin's retreat paths!

That terrifying power made the entire sky change color!

Lei Jingtian looked at the two blade lights that were enough to tear him into pieces instantly, and a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.

Subconsciously, he wanted to push Chu Xuanjin beside him away.

But he found that the other party's body was as steady as a mountain, not moving a bit.

"Stand firm."

Chu Xuanjin's voice remained calm.

"Watch closely."

"Sometimes, reasoning is explained like this."

As his voice fell.

He slowly raised his right hand.

There was no earth-shattering Aura, no brilliant immortal light.

He just extended an index finger.

And gently pointed at the two sky-destroying and earth-shattering blade lights.

"Ding."

A light sound.

Like a water drop falling into a lake.

In that instant.

Time seemed to slow down.

Everyone clearly saw.

That plain, unremarkable finger precisely pointed at the most insignificant point where the two blade lights intersected.

Then.

Those two terrifying blade lights that were enough to split mountains and break seas.

Just stopped like that.

Suspended in mid-air.

Immediately after.

"Crack."

A crisp sound.

A fine crack appeared from the intersection point.

"Crackle…"

The cracks, like spider webs, instantly spread to the entire blade body!

"Bang!"

Under the gaze of everyone, which was dull and unable to understand.

The full-strength attack of the two Golden Immortal Experts just shattered into pieces, inch by inch, without any warning!

Turning into dots of energy light all over the sky.

Like a gorgeous firework display.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The two Golden Immortal guards were struck by lightning!

Their bodies shook violently, and they opened their mouths to spit out a large mouthful of blood mixed with pieces of internal organs!

Their eyes instantly became listless!

Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief!

How is this possible?!

Their full-strength attack was actually broken so casually by the other party with one finger?!

Even the backlash of the Law caused them to be severely injured!

What the hell kind of monster is this?!

"You…"

Blade Reaching Heaven's arrogant face also completely solidified.

He looked at the man who was still maintaining the finger-pointing posture, and a cold chill rushed from the soles of his feet straight to his crown!

He finally realized that he seemed to have kicked an iron plate.

"Now."

Chu Xuanjin slowly retracted his finger.

He looked at Blade Reaching Heaven, his face revealing a kind, harmless smile.

"It's your turn."
