Chapter 1056: Nanfeng Yunxi Exits Seclusion
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the immortal realms, those with extraordinary statuses would always disdain to use defensive-type immortal talismans. For people like them, their statuses were the first line of their defense and they had protective strands of immortal sense from their elders as well. Because even if the immortal senses failed to protect their lives, the defense immortal talismans would be completely useless.
In addition, this kind of defensive immortal talisman that could block an attack from an immortal-foundation expert wasn't cheap at all. Only those who had no background would exchange their treasures for this. To think that Qin Wentian actually used it.
Qin Wentian had exchanged for some of these defensive immortal talismans when he was touring the Southern Phoenix Immortal City. He was different compared to Zi Daoyang and Dongsheng Ting, and had to depend on himself for many things. He also had many enemies and it would always be for the best to be more cautious when roaming the outside world. In any case, no one would complain about having too many life-saving treasures and although he wasn't considered very wealthy, he absolutely wasn't poor as he could refine immortal-ranked weapons to sell using his mobile Driftsnow City.
It was only that Qin Wentian didn't expect that the defensive immortal talisman would be used so fast. When he heard Nanfeng Shengge's warning earlier he had already expected his opponent would go all out using all methods to kill him. Hence, he didn't hesitate to shatter one defensive talisman to block his opponent's attack while using the demon sword simultaneously to take away his enemy's life. That move of his was extremely smooth, done so with practiced ease, like a bolt of lightning.
Qin Wentian turned his eyes onto Dongsheng Ting, "How sad. The son of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor doesn't even have the guts to fight."
"BOOM!" Dongsheng Ting's aura erupted forth as he stepped towards the Phoenix Arena. His tolerance had reached the limit.
However somebody beside him held him back while transmitting a message to him. "Your highness, this man is sinister and ruthless, forming grudges with four immortal emperors and is full of craft and cunning. You must not fall for his agitation techniques."
"Hmph." Dongsheng Ting's expression was ice-cold. If Qin Wentian could hear the voice transmission, he would probably break out in laughter. Dongsheng Ting didn't dare to fight with him and his subordinate actually came up with such an excuse, saying that he is sinister and ruthless, as well as full of cunning?
"Ling, go and kill him." That person turned to another expert beside Dongsheng Ting as he commanded. That chosen person stiffened for a little before nodding and walked right up the Phoenix Arena.
This expert named Ling erupted forth with immortal might, causing a blast of wind to gust by. An immortal weapon in the form of a feathered fan appeared in his hand, he infused his immortal energy within, expanding the fan as he waved it towards Qin Wentian, summoning a powerful tornado that could lacerate everything. That fearsome law energy of the wind emitted terrifying piercing sounds in the air.
Qin Wentian's immortal foundation circulated energy frenziedly as runes flowed endlessly around his body, making it akin to an invulnerable fiendgod. He stood there in arrogance as a layer of light enveloped him protectively. However, the attacks of his opponent's feathered fan grew stronger and stronger, causing cracks to appear on the layers of protective light, the impact even forcing Qin Wentian to take a few steps back.
"Bzz." His opponent completely vanished from sight before reappearing in front of Qin Wentian, slamming his fan out once again, breaking the layer of protective light completely. That indomitable force aimed right for Qin Wentian's throat, wanting to seal his life away with a single strike.
The demon sword in Qin Wentian's hand emitted a low humming noise as a fearsome demonic qi burst forth from the sword, manifesting the faint shadow of a great roc. When it slashed past, a terrifying sword scar could be seen in the air, capable of rending everything into two. Both their attacks collided and the impact caused the two of them to take a few steps back.
His opponent was skilled in the law of the wind. He quickly hid himself within the wind, moving together with it. He sped around the arena, creating countless images. It was hard to discern his true position.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes. He held the demon sword before him and an instant later, an overwhelming sword might radiated out, flooding the entire area in all eight directions.
"Bzz~" The feathered fan was like an indestructible weapon. The opponent roared thunderously as the feathers on the fan transformed into sharp swords and shot towards Qin Wentian, tearing through the wave of sword might, aiming for his head. The character for the word slash '斩', appeared in the air, exuding boundless might.
"ROAR!" Heaven-shaking roars rang out as numerous gigantic divine statues appeared in the air, suppressing everything. At this moment, everything seemed to turn sluggish in this space. That expert advancing towards Qin Wentian only felt as though he has sunk into a quagmire of boundless pressure as his body grew incredibly stiff.
"NO!" A beam of sword light slashed out, from bottom to top, drawing a straight line in his body as blood splattered through the air. The body of that expert then fell from the air, as he died instantly.
Qin Wentian slowly walked to the side of the corpse and took his time retrieving his opponent's interspatial ring and immortal-ranked weapon. These were the spoils of war to him, how could he be polite and leave them there? The sword qi around him intensified, surrounding the corpse of his opponent and a moment later, the corpse seemed to have dissipated like dust in the air, shredded to incomparably small pieces.
"Who else?" Qin Wentian stared at the people from the four immortal-emperor ranked powers. His expression was as cold as ever. Since they wanted his life, there was no need for him to be polite and he shall kill as many as he can. Although these casualties were just like a drop of water in an ocean to the immortal emperors, he could at least send them a message that if they wanted his life, they best be prepared to pay a price.
Next, more experts from the immortal-emperor ranked powers walked up the arena but all of them died in Qin Wentian's hands regardless of what methods they used. Qin Wentian seemed to have a counter for everything and he would always burst forth with overwhelming might at critical moments, securing his victory. After some time, he killed so many that none of the remaining experts were willing to go up the arena to send themselves to their death. It seems that they finally knew that ordinary third-level immortal experts wouldn't be able to kill Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's combat prowess was so strong that it exceeded their expectations completely.
"Elder, we will bid our farewell."
At this moment, the people from the Violet Emperor Sect clasped their hands to the Southern Phoenix Clan elder as they spoke. The elder then replied, "Are all of you not going to stay a few days more in our clan so we can show you our hospitality?"
"No, thank you. We will come again to pay a visit some other time in the future." Those from the Violet Emperor Sect shook their heads and smiled before leaving here. Dongsheng Ting's icy gaze swept over to Qin Wentian as he spoke, "I shall let you have some more free time to be arrogant first. But no matter what, I shall definitely take your life in the future."
"Spineless coward." Qin Wentian coldly sneered. His insult angered Dongsheng Ting so much that his body trembled involuntarily from rage. He then flicked his sleeve and departed with a cold snort while radiating an intense killing intent.
"If the old dog asks about it, remember to help me tell him that I will claim his dog life sooner or later." Qin Wentian coldly added. Dongsheng Ting punched out randomly and the sound of an explosion rang out as a large rock beside him was shattered.
"Also, even someone like you dares to fantasize about being together with Qing`er? A mere crow lusting over a phoenix. How sad." Qin Wentian continued. He returned the insult Dongsheng Ting shot at him all those years ago. Right now via his immortal sense, he could see an ugly expression contorting Dongsheng Ting's handsome face as an baleful aura gushed out from him.
A character which was like an ant in the past actually dared to use the method he used back then to humiliate back himself.
Dongsheng Ting's killing intent for Qin Wentian had already surged to the limits. Most likely, as long as he had an opportunity, Dongsheng Ting would certainly kill Qin Wentian to appease the hatred in his heart.
Qin Wentian walked down the arena, and stared at those departing figures, Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a light voice, "These people came here prepared. Although their objective today failed, they wouldn't give up so easily. Most probably, they will continue to stay in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City."
"Don't worry, as long as your are in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City, they wouldn't dare to try anything funny. Even for the Violet Emperor, he would have to think twice regarding the consequences if he dares to do anything to you while you are in the city." The elder of the Southern Phoenix Clan replied.
"Many thanks to senior." Qin Wentian nodded. No wonder the Taishan Immortal King under the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, supported him on his endeavor to come to the Southern Phoenix Immortal City. This city was truly different from the others.
"No worries, that's what our clan should do. You acted as protector for Nanfeng Yunxi and aided her to become the Holy Successor. If our Southern Phoenix Clan handed you over, wouldn't that incur the ridicule of everyone in the immortal realms?" The elder spoke. After that, he snorted, "To think that they are shameless enough to try this. Also, the arrogance of the Violet Emperor is too much, did he really think he possessed such clout that we have to give him face?"
"Is the Violet Emperor very strong?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Even when the Eastern Sage, Xuan and Xiao Immortal Emperors are added together, their strength still cannot be equal to the Violet Emperor. Under the Violet Emperor, he has subordinates on the level of the Xuan and Xiao Emperor. Such a character would certainly have great ambitions." The elder from the Southern Phoenix Clan spoke. Qin Wentian nodded lightly, he understood there were naturally differences in strength between immortal emperors, segregating the strong and the weak. Using immortal kings as an example, Bai Wuya alone had enough power to overturn the situation and determined victory in a war among immortals!
"However since you are on the list of four great immortal emperors, it's best for you to be more cautious. They don't dare to act against you in the Southern Phoenix Immortal City. Also, it's best for you to keep your movements hidden. Although your combat prowess is high, they might go all out and use immortal kings to insta-kill you." The elder warned.
"Junior understands." Qin Wentian nodded.
At this moment, a sound drifted over from the depths of the Southern Phoenix Clan. This sound was like the chime of a bell. That elder turned his head, staring towards the depths of the Southern Phoenix Clan, at the region where the ancestral lands were located. That elder than smiled as he spoke to Qin Wentian, "Nanfeng Yunxi ended her seclusion. Let's go and take a look."
"Has she finally concluded her seclusion?" Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness!
