Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 663 - 667: Repel the Enemy_1

"Hmph!"

Being locked onto by the Sword Qi, the Flame Demon Elder had no choice but to appear from the hidden Void, his face extremely grim. He held a dagger, emanating a dark glow as he forcefully slashed downwards.

CLANG!

Sparks flew as the Sword Qi was split in two.

When he looked up at Jiang Ziwen, he found an elderly figure in a white robe flying towards him on his sword. His hair danced in the wind, his robe fluttering, his demeanor transcendent, as if a Sword Immortal was touring the starfield.

"Heavenly Sword Immortal, you dare to obstruct me?"

The Flame Demon Elder roared fiercely, murderous intent surging in his eyes, but he did not attack.

The Red Dragon Starfield was in a delicate tripartite balance. Should any two factions enter into combat, the third would benefit. Moreover, the Heavenly Sword Immortal's Sword Dao cultivation gave him unparalleled combat strength. Even if the elder were to win, it would come at a terrible cost.

"The Human Race is not yours to bully!" the Heavenly Sword Immortal said coldly, raising his right hand. Countless Sword Qi emerged behind him, creating a boundless river of swords, massive and overwhelming, obliterating everything in its path.

A Human Race powerhouse!

Within the Nine Provinces, Qin Wudao gazed at the Heavenly Sword Immortal, deep in thought.

Jiang Ziwen raised an eyebrow slightly but said nothing. He dispersed the immense Yin God power within him. Since someone else had intervened, there was no need for him to fight desperately.

The starry sky was silent.

Everyone was looking at the Flame Demon Elder, waiting for him to make a choice. Would he fight, or would he not?

Now, it was the Flame Demon Elder's turn to feel the pressure. He was, by nature, a man who valued his reputation. His underlings had been killed. If he retreated now, the prestige of the Extreme Demon Hall would plummet. Yet, if he continued to fight, he sensed a dangerous aura. This wisp of danger, however, did not emanate so much from the Heavenly Sword Immortal as it did from Jiang Ziwen, who was merely at the Peak of the Profound Immortal Realm.

"The Protectors and Elders of the Extreme Demon Hall cannot have died in vain!" The Flame Demon Elder thought for a moment before saying coldly, "I will grant you some face. As long as those from the Qin Dynasty's Saint's Court who just attacked commit suicide, we will consider this matter settled!"

He could tell that those who had attacked from the Qin Dynasty's Saint's Court possessed incredibly prodigious talent, comparable to the top geniuses of the higher heavens. If they were allowed to grow, they would pose a great threat. To force them to commit suicide would not only eliminate this threat but also save his face, killing two birds with one stone.

"Dream on!"

"The Qin Dynasty's Saint's Court ascended peacefully and provoked no one! You were the one acting despicably, insisting on snatching the immortal liquid! Now you've been beaten, your people have died, and you're still playing the victim! Even I feel ashamed for you! Get lost!" the refined Heavenly Sword Immortal cursed outright.

The endless river of swords behind him began to roil. The swords' radiance blazed, and an unparalleled aura of sharpness permeated the Nine Heavens, engulfing the sun and moon. Even the Scouts of the major powers, standing tens of millions of miles away, felt their skin prickle and hastily retreated.

"You're courting death!" The Flame Demon Elder was completely enraged, his eyes turning crimson, his killing intent boundless.

Infinite demon light surged. The terrifying power of a Taiyi Earth Immortal billowed, pouring into the dagger. Four Immortal patterns appeared on it as he unleashed a strike that stunned the heavens and earth.

The starry sky collapsed.

The destructive aftermath spread, sweeping across billions of miles of the starry expanse. Everything in its path turned to dust, instantly vaporizing. The terrifying power caused the Nine Provinces world to shake violently; the celestial canopy rippled, and the earth's crust trembled as if it were about to be torn apart.

"I haven't fought in millions of years, my bones are practically decaying!"

"I wonder if this sword in my hand has rusted?"

The Heavenly Sword Elder mused aloud. As his words fell, the river of swords behind him seemed to gain sentience, surging through the starry sky. An apocalyptic aura of sharpness filled the entire starry expanse. Within the river of swords, there were countless fine Sword Qi. Each strand of Sword Qi possessed power far exceeding the ultimate attack of a Martial Artist at the Peak of the Profound Immortal Realm. One could only imagine the terrifying power unleashed if so many Sword Qi struck simultaneously.

BOOM!

In an instant, the fearsome attacks of the two collided violently. It was like a stellar explosion. A giant fireball, a full sixty million miles in size, erupted in the starry sky, blazing with a dazzling brilliance. It unleashed a colossal shockwave that seemed to fill the heavens, shattering the ambient power of the void.

"Fight!"

"Kill!"

The voices of the Heavenly Sword Immortal and the Flame Demon Elder emanated from the center of the aftermath. This was followed by the sound of clashing weapons, as rapid and urgent as a sudden torrential downpour. Unfortunately, the aftermath obscured the area, making it impossible to see the battle within.

About three minutes later, two figures were flung backward, tearing through the void and leaving two deep gouges in space.

"It seems my sword hasn't rusted yet!" After stabilizing himself, the Heavenly Sword Elder was in high spirits and laughed heartily. In his hand, he held an Immortal Sword, shimmering with a cold light. It also bore four immortal patterns, embodying an overwhelming power.

Four immortal patterns signified a fourth-level immortal weapon. Across all the heavens and myriad worlds, immortal weapons were graded from first to ninth level. Above ninth-level immortal weapons, there were Chaos Spirit Treasures, divided into Acquired Chaos Spirit Treasures and Innate Chaos Spirit Treasures.

Throughout the heavens and myriad worlds, a fourth-level immortal weapon might not be considered much, but in the small Red Dragon Starfield, it was extremely precious, possessed only by a select few.

Across from him, the Flame Demon Elder wore a grim expression. He had actually held the upper hand in the recent exchange, yet the gap between them had narrowed significantly. This indicated that the Heavenly Sword Immortal's cultivation speed was accelerating faster than his own. Perhaps in just a few years, he would be overtaken. Now, even if he harbored the intent to kill the Heavenly Sword Immortal, it would be exceedingly difficult to achieve.

After a moment's hesitation, the Flame Demon Elder clenched his dagger. His heart filled with unwillingness, he turned and flew off into the distance under the dumbfounded gazes of the many Scouts.

"A demonic titan has actually been defeated and forced to retreat!"

"Could it be that the Heavenly Sword Immortal has surpassed him and can now defeat the Flame Demon Elder?"

"It seems the power rankings in the Red Dragon Starfield are about to change..."

The many Scouts murmured amongst themselves.

Moments later, the Void returned to tranquility. All the Scouts departed, relaying the news to the factions they represented.

Qin Wudao, leading the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty, flew out from the Nine Provinces. Arriving before the Heavenly Sword Immortal, he clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Senior, thank you for your assistance in repelling a powerful enemy!"

"As fellow members of the Human Race, it is only natural that we should help one another..." The Heavenly Sword Immortal smiled faintly. As his gaze swept over Qin Wudao and the others, his pupils suddenly constricted, betraying a flicker of shock.

To his astonishment, he discovered that everyone before him—whether it was Qin Wudao, Zhao Yun, or Yuan Tiangang and the others—exuded an aura far surpassing that of Martial Artists in the same realm. They were comparable to the prodigies from the higher heavens. Especially Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, and Lv Bu—their physical fortitude was comparable to the God-Devil Clan, and the purity of their immortal qi was like that of the Immortal Spirit Clan.

He had visited Middle Thousand Worlds and seen many prodigious talents of the Human Race. Yet, compared to Zhao Yun and the other two, those prodigies still fell far short.

Could it be... that the talent of these three is comparable to the peerless prodigies of a Great Thousand World?

"Truly, the younger generation is formidable!" the Heavenly Sword Immortal said excitedly, his gaze burning with fervor as he looked at Zhao Yun and the other two.

"Senior, you have come from afar to help us defeat a strong enemy. I am profoundly grateful. I have prepared a banquet in the imperial palace to express our gratitude!" Qin Wudao invited courteously.

The Heavenly Sword Immortal nodded and did not decline. He shouted aloud, "Disciple, quickly accompany your master to be their guest!"

WHOOSH!

In the distant starry sky, Hongyi appeared. Dressed in fluttering white robes, his face was as cold as a block of ice ten thousand years old, silently conveying a warning to strangers to keep their distance.

"This is my disciple, Hongyi. He's rather cold and tends to ignore everyone," the Heavenly Sword Immortal introduced.

But before he could finish his sentence, he saw Hongyi fly before Qin Wudao. Transforming into an eager fanboy, Hongyi exclaimed, "Your Majesty Emperor Qin, your subjects were incredible just now! They actually slaughtered two Protectors!"

The Heavenly Sword Immortal: "..."
