Chapter 383 - Unrealistic

Chapter 383: Unrealistic

Heavenly Court and Jade Lake butted heads for many years and Chen Ming was more than clear on their power. Each had ten thousand immortals at their beck and call. As for Transcending realm cultivators, Sorry, but this battlefield is unable to cope with beings of such power.

Chen Ming wanted to avoid joining yet was now rethinking his options, They have a Gold Immortal, each. If I can mess around the chaos of battle and kill-steal one, I’ll hit the spiritual knowledge motherload!

Anything short of a billion spiritual knowledge won’t do for me. Yet this amount is barely enough to take me to the Transcending realm.

But that wasn’t what got Chen Ming all perky, it was the thought the King Slayer Aura might level up!

King Slayer Aura’s effect needn’t be said, It’s the strongest in my arsenal. Killing a Gold Immortal at the Dao Comprehending realm has to have a certain chance of upgrading it!

Chen Ming changed his attire into black leather and grasped Ghost Immortal’s bone staff. It was time to play god among Li Suyi’s beast army.

Lu Qingxuan and the rest noticed such a uniquely, and fully dressed, Chen Ming. They didn’t care though since his clothes gave the impression of a barbarian shaman!

Anywho, King Slayer Aura left him immune to a Gold Immortal’s pressure, its best feature. Though I only have spiritual power, it’s still enough to match an immortal.

With the army assembled, his Blades and Li Suyi awaited Chen Ming’s orders.

Chen Ming assessed Lu Qingxuan and Yang Hun’s power. Perhaps it isn’t too far-fetched wiping out Heavenly Court.

His only worry was the two factions ganging up on him.

But at least he had the force to challenge them even in the worst-case scenario.

From this emerged his plan to have Heavenly Court and Jade Lake in constant doubt and kept them on their toes. If he could get rid of one party, his nights would be peaceful.

Chen Ming patted his golden-winged roc to grow larger as he put on the Faceless mask.

“When I call upon your name, each of you shall answer…”

Chen Ming appeared in his hall, looking at Bu Liuhen, Yang Hun, and Lu Qingxuan as they showed up one by one. It had to be put to record thought that Lu Qingxuan was quite reluctant in parting with his destined Dragon Horse.

Chen Ming coughed, requesting silence, “I summoned everybody to attack Heavenly Court!”

The three noticed the thirst for battle in each of their eyes. Chen Ming turned to Bu Liuhen, “You won’t participate. I’m sure you understand your part in this war, as the holder of the Soul Bead.”

Bu Liuhen bowed, “Yes, Sire Faceless. Subordinate will fill it to the brim!”

Chen Ming rose, “Everything is set. Set out!”

The beast army only just arrived yet they were already marching on Devil Gate Star.

Vile Dragon Star River’s cultivators found nothing wrong with a Faceless’ army passing through. They had smooth sailing all the way to Heavenly Court and Jade Lake’s territories. The end of this war would mark the end of Heavenly Court and Jade Lake’s influence on the Three-headed Dragon Constellation, retreating to safety in the outer reaches.

This is the future ruler! Why on earth would any block his path?

With a clear path, Faceless’ army had moved with swift and extreme prejudice in killing all Heavenly Court’s garrisons along the way.

Lu Qingxuan rode the Dragon Horse at the front of the charge. With his body brimming with power, he was itching to kill three hundred or so, for starters.

The beast army stood across from the path to immortality’s gates, on the platform. Lu Qingxuan saw them shut tight, figuring Heavenly Court already got the key to this path.

If he was to force his way through, he’d have to blast his way forward and clash with the star’s power. But Lu Qingxuan was anything but fearful, just like a commander of a great faction, a Gold Immortal. And why was that you’d ask? Because a Gold Immortal was capable of splitting open a path’s gates, shaking a star’s power!

With Lu Qingxuan feeling bolstered both in power and spirit, It’s the perfect target to try my new power!

Lu Qingxuan took the lead, spurring his mount forward as he swung Heaven-drawn Halberd, “Assassinate!”

Chen Ming almost spat blood, Why the f*ck are you yelling assassinate when you’re making such a big show out of it?

Are you trying for an open assassination?

But some would say that the end justified the means. With a resounding boom, the gate craked in two as everyone felt the trembling earth at their feet. The star was shaking!

Lu Qingxuan was now charging ever forward on his Dragon Horse.

Li Suyi shouted, “Roar, roar, (Brothers, charge)!”

The horde made a mad dash but they were no match for Bu Liuhen and Yang Hun’s speed. Driving such power in their steps, the path’s gate was nothing but dust at their feet. When the dust settled and Bu Liuhen with Yang Hun followed, in his wake, the ground was littered with immortal corpses.

The sky and the earth were smashed apart. It was as if an angel fell and brought with it destruction and chaos.

There were hundreds of immortals here, yet all were dead?

And god knew where Lu Qingxuan had raged!

Bu Liuhen was shocked and awed, “No way! This guy is an assassin after all. His slaughtering speed is nigh uncatchable!”

Yang Hun said, “By his words, you’re a successful assassin as long as no one sees you. He tried thousands upon thousands to lie in hiding but was always for naught, each mission ending in slaughter. He must have done it so many times, it’s his second nature.”

They looked at each other and had no words to express what they felt.

Whatever, let’s keep going.

The army pressed on for dozens of stars, finding the same scene on each of them. All they could do was follow Lu Qingxuan’s carnage.

In a part of some ruins, a Celestial Immortal started wailing, “One’s still breathing!”

“No need to panic, let me finish him off!”

Ten breaths later, before the said Celestial Immortal even began to act, a miserable cry echoed, “How is this an army? Such ruthlessness. He is dead from the smeared poison on the Heaven-drawn Halberd!”

The crowd of Celestial Immortals looked lost, “Uh, no one’s breathing now.”

The assassins took it in stride since they’ve seen this scene one too many times, “When Lord attacks how can there be any survivors! That’s unrealistic!”
