Chapter 1278 King Guan Yu's Pressure

Though he was from the Western region of the Immortal Realm, capable of slaying ordinary Quasi-Emperors, Guan Yu still looked down upon them.

"They've engaged!"

Outside the Immortal Realm, countless beings cast their gazes. Though the fight hadn't truly begun, Guan Yu's arrogance was off the charts. With just a few words, he had thoroughly trampled upon Zi Yao Immortal Emperor and the other prodigies. Especially his half-closed eyes, which seemed to be neither open nor closed, infuriated not only Zi Yao Immortal Emperor and his companions but also the inhabitants of the Immortal Realm.

They cursed Guan Yu inwardly, wondering how he dared to be so contemptuous with such little combat power!

"Boom!"

Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor conjured a black stone coffin, its rolling death qi making the area feel as if it had been dragged into hell.

"Suppress him!"

Under Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor's control, the black coffin opened with a roar. He poured all his immortal power into it, intending to suppress Guan Yu in a single move and show the world that Undying Mountain was not only home to the Heavenly Corpse Old Immortal but also to him, Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor.

"Hum~~"

Guan Yu opened his right hand, and the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade instantly materialized. It had been upgraded by Gan Jiang to an Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure and had been refined before the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny for decades. As the black coffin drew nearer, Guan Yu remained still, his eyes still half-closed. However, the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade began to emit dragon roars, and flames of crimson ignited all over his body. Su Dan Novel Network

He moved!

Guan Yu's eyes snapped open, and the entire black coffin suppressing him trembled. It felt to Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor like he had struck the firmament itself. With a single saber strike, countless beings could not discern what had happened. Only the Quasi-Emperor powerhouses outside the Immortal Realm stood up instantly. This was the second time, after Zhao Yun, that the power of the Human Race had caused them to rise in shock.

"Swish!"

A breathtaking saber strike, like a divine punishment descending from the heavens, was unstoppable. The stone coffin was sent flying by the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade. Azure streams of light and crimson flames cleaved Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor in two, his primordial spirit dissipating directly!

"What?"

Zi Yao Immortal Emperor and Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor were startled. The Immortal Emperor of Wu Shan Immortal Court beside them immediately retreated, not daring to linger.

"Trash!" Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor cursed as he watched the receding figure.

Outside the Immortal Realm, the beings who witnessed this scene froze, unable to move. With a single saber strike! One strike had killed an Immortal Emperor, and one who was second only to the Heavenly Corpse Old Immortal in Undying Mountain!

"Bang bang bang!"

Zi Yao Immortal Emperor hastily took out his tortoise shell and began to divine again, employing the Six Jia Qimen of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations.

Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor could no longer sit still. Ignoring Zi Yao Immortal Emperor, who was divining beside him, he walked step by step towards Guan Yu. With each stride, he gathered power. He knew Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor's capabilities. Being able to kill Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor with one saber meant that Guan Yu was no ordinary Immortal Emperor but a true prodigy, just like himself.

Clang!

Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor moved. He knew his standing among the Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm, so from the outset, he didn't aim for a first-tier Emperor's Destiny Seed but directly for a second-tier one. He had always believed his most powerful opponent would be Zi Yao Immortal Emperor, but unexpectedly, a Human, Guan Yu, had appeared midway and killed Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor, who was of a similar caliber, with a single saber strike.

His entire right arm radiated with potent blood qi. Bone fragments pierced through his flesh, condensing into a long saber with a faint yellowish hue in his palm.

The Heavenly Refinement Blood Saber, an Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure. To possess such a divine weapon, he had slain two alien ferocious lions in the extreme lands and sealed their primordial spirits at the tip of the saber. This Immortal Treasure could not only attack the physical body but also assault the primordial spirit.

"Whoosh!"

"Huh!"

Zi Yao Immortal Emperor's expression was ordinary, but upon seeing the hexagram, his eyes showed surprise. He could divine nothing; it was all hazy and indistinct.

"Roar!"

The ferocious lions roared, and two red primordial spirits shot out from the Heavenly Refinement Blood Saber. Relying on the saber, Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor wielded it with swift movements, unleashing a silver-white, slightly yellowish saber aura towards Guan Yu.

"Wielding a saber before Guan Gong!"

"Overestimating yourself!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed mournfully for Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor.

However, within the old lands, Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor was terrifyingly powerful. He knew Guan Yu's strength. After unleashing his saber strike, he combined it with the ferocious lions' primordial spirit assault and quickly brandished the Heavenly Refinement Blood Saber, launching eighty-nine saber auras.

Guan Yu looked up. His entire primordial spirit buzzed. He knew this was caused by the two ferocious lions' primordial spirits. Although these ferocious lions were not a powerful race, they excelled at primordial spirit assaults and possessed unique methods.

With each step, Guan Yu dodged the two primordial spirit assaults and evaded all eighty-nine saber auras. After this barrage of attacks, although the consumption for Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor was not great, his chest heaved, and he hastily swallowed a few pills.

"Is this all you've got!"

Guan Yu looked at the destruction caused by the eighty-nine saber auras, clearly dissatisfied. He said, "What a pity for the Emperor-grade Immortal Treasure saber in your hand."

"You are not worthy of wielding a saber!"

"Arrogant! Dare you fight me? Hiding and dodging, how long do you think you can hide!" Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor roared in anger. All his attacks had missed, and he was unconvinced. He raised the Heavenly Refinement Blood Saber again and slashed towards Guan Yu. The two ferocious lion primordial spirits attacked from both sides, and as they neared Guan Yu, they instantly united to suppress him!

Boom!

Guan Yu held his saber and directly blocked it. With a "clang," he met Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor head-on, even forcing the two ferocious lion primordial spirits to bare their teeth and roar.

"Die!"

Feeling the immense pressure that made the Heavenly Refinement Blood Saber in his hand tremble and try to break free of his control, he immediately roared, his entire body erupting with boundless light. He forcefully suppressed the Immortal Treasure in his hand, deflected Guan Yu's Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, and struck directly at Guan Yu's head.

"A saber is not used like this."

Guan Yu sighed. His body ignited with crimson divine fire, directly refining the two ferocious lion primordial spirits. He raised the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, and with a dragon's roar, the long saber swept upwards from below, drawing a breathtaking azure saber aura.

"Ah..."

Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor cried out to the heavens. That saber was too fast, even more powerful and swift than the one that had slain Zhe Shou Immortal Emperor. This saber aura shattered his powerful strike, broke through the defenses of his physical body, and tore him apart from the roots of his thighs. His entire body was split in two. The saber aura passed through his soul sea and shattered Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor's primordial spirit.

His remains scattered, and his Immortal Emperor's blood was entirely absorbed by the crimson flames.

This scene once again shocked the countless beings outside the Immortal Realm!

Yuan Fei Immortal Emperor, too, was no match. From beginning to end, Guan Yu had only unleashed one saber strike. The power of that single strike had once again felled a prodigy!
