"Oh? Is that so?"
Flame Shadow cracked his knuckles with a sinister smile, saying, "Looks like youâve all forgotten the pain from ten thousand years ago."
"I originally intended to negotiate with you all today and exchange something precious, but you insist on fighting."
"Fighting is what this Young Master loves; itâs been a while since Iâve had a good fight, and my hands are itching."
The Elder of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace hurriedly said, "Palace Master, this personâs strength is formidable, we..."
Before the Elder could finish speaking, the Palace Master interrupted, "Heâs just one person, are we supposed to be afraid of him?"
The Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is a dominant force in the Immortal Realm; even without an Immortal Venerable, they wouldnât fear just an Immortal Emperor at the late stage.
Moreover, the Nine Heavens Palace Master himself is a peak late-stage Immortal Emperor powerhouse.
"The Palace Master is right," the Second Elder said angrily with a frown, "we need not fear him alone."
"Are you done talking? If youâre going to fight, then hurry up," Flame Shadow sneered, eager to strike.
The Nine Heavens Palace Master narrowed his eyes fiercely and said, "Flame Shadow, donât be too arrogant. Even back in the day, we werenât afraid of Gu Chenfeng, so why should we fear you?"
"Without Gu Chenfeng, youâre not enough to cause trouble in my Nine Heavens Immortal Palace!"
Although the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace lacks an Immortal Venerable, the Palace Master and several elders are all at the Immortal Emperor Realm.
In a one-on-one situation, they might not be a match for Flame Shadow.
But if they joined forces, they seemed confident in contending with Flame Shadow.
Flame Shadow smiled slightly and said, "Indeed, my strength isnât comparable to Gu Chenfeng, but this Young Master is different from Gu Chenfeng. Gu Chenfeng wouldnât snatch things, but this Young Master will."
"This Young Master isnât a good person. Whatever I want, Iâll make sure to get it, even if it means killing someone to rob them."
"And the most important thing is, this Young Master loves to fight."
Gu Chenfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "Since thereâs no room for negotiation, we can only fight."
In this lifetime, Gu Chenfeng would not miss the Space Immortal Stone.
If he did, he might not find a second one.
"Nine Heavens Palace Master, all of you come at me. This Young Master doesnât want to waste time," Flame Shadow said excitedly, prompting his Immortal Power at the late stage of the Immortal Emperor, and the overwhelming battle intent surged forth.
From Flame Shadowâs extremely excited expression, it was clear he was a combat maniac.
The stronger the opponent, the more excited Flame Shadow became.
Feeling Flame Shadowâs power, Gu Chenfeng thought to himself, "Such powerful physical strength. It seems Little Shadow has been emphasizing physical cultivation all these years."
"The stronger the physical body, the more one can unleash the full power of the Heavenly Dao Battle God Technique. If my guess is correct, Little Shadowâs strength has surpassed the peak of the Immortal Emperor late stage."
On the other side.
Upon hearing Flame Shadowâs arrogant words, the Nine Heavens Palace Master said fiercely, "Flame Shadow, youâre overestimating your strength and underestimating ours!"
"Enough nonsense, letâs fight," Flame Shadow sneered, reaching out to grab the air. An Immortal Sword appeared, and he instantly flashed into the high sky.
With the Immortal Swordâs augmentation, Flame Shadowâs aura surged immediately.
"Attack!" The Nine Heavens Palace Master shouted angrily, pushing the peak late-stage Immortal Emperorâs Immortal Power to its limit, brilliant blue light soared skywards, shaking the void clouds apart.
The Nine Heavens Palace Master brandished his Immortal Sword and was the first to shoot into the sky.
"Buzz!"
The terrifying power of the peak late-stage Immortal Emperor swept tens of thousands of feet away in an instant, causing the space around to tremble violently and collapse, a surging momentum that captivated the mind.
With the Immortal Swordâs help, whether in terms of strength or momentum, the Nine Heavens Palace Master surpassed Flame Shadow.
"Hmph! You dare to underestimate us! Today, even if it costs our lives, youâll understand the consequences of arrogance!" The Elder said darkly and angrily as the terrifying power of the Middle Stage Immortal Emperor erupted.
The three elders of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace simultaneously shot skyward, their formidable aura locking onto Flame Shadow.
Even if their cultivation wasnât as high as Flame Shadowâs, the strength of four joining forces was undoubtedly terrifying.
The Nine Heavens Palace Masterâs speed was remarkable, appearing in the blink of an eye, and with ferocity and decisiveness, swept out with a powerful sword.
"Bring it on!" Flame Shadow exclaimed with excitement, refusing to back down and slashed down with his sword.
"Clang!"
"Buzz!"
The clash of two swords unleashed a terrifying energy wave, plunging the space of this area into destructive tremors.
The fierce direct sword clash, even if the Nine Heavens Palace Masterâs strength and momentum were above Flame Shadowâs, it resulted in an evenly matched standoff.
"What a violent Immortal Power!" the Nine Heavens Palace Master secretly marveled.
"The Nine Heavens Palace Masterâs strength has indeed grown significantly since back in the day," Flame Shadow said excitedly, showing no signs of pressure.
As he finished speaking.
Flame Shadow suddenly exerted strength, forcefully sweeping his Immortal Sword in the clash, violently pushing the Nine Heavens Palace Master back.
The Nine Heavens Palace Master said coldly, "Your physical strength has also grown stronger than before; truly, youâre the strongest below the Immortal Venerable."
No doubt!
Flame Shadow possesses formidable strength and is called the strongest beneath the Immortal Venerable, not only because of his immense strength but also due to his incredibly strong physical body.
Driving back the Nine Heavens Palace Master.
Flame Shadowâs gaze sharply turned to the left where the Elder charged at him with a sword.
"Too slow," Flame Shadow coldly smirked, swiftly meeting the charge with his own sword.
"Clang!"
The clashing sword tips produced a clear ring, and the domineering force directly threw the Elder back.
At the same moment.
The Second Elder and Third Elder simultaneously attacked, their Immortal Swords viciously and relentlessly striking Flame Shadow.
However.
Even as the two eldersâ full-force attacks landed squarely on Flame Shadow, they were unable to break through his robust physical defense.
Seeing this scene.
The two eldersâ expressions dramatically changed in disbelief.
Even though they were early-stage Immortal Emperor powerhouses, and with the Immortal Swordâs augmentation, their full exertions should be terrifying.
Yet they couldnât break Flame Shadowâs defense.
"Too weak, early-stage Immortal Emperors canât hurt a late-stage one," Flame Shadow mocked with a teasing sneer, completely ignoring the two eldersâ attacks.
At this time.
The Nine Heavens Palace Master had already flashed back over, slashing down fiercely with another sword, angrily shouting, "Do not be arrogant!"
The two elders hurriedly retreated.
The power of a late-stage Immortal Emperor collision was something they couldnât endure.
"Boom!"
"Buzz!"
Flame Shadow faced it unyieldingly, quickly meeting it with his own sword, and with a thunderous boom, the erupted fearsome power once again mercilessly shattered the space.
"Such keen perception," the Nine Heavens Palace Master thought to himself, "and his power and speed arenât beneath mine either."
"Nine Heavens Palace Master, this Young Master shall have fun with you," Flame Shadow said excitedly, launching into a ferocious and rapid attack.
"Clang clang clang!"
"Buzz!"
Sword Techniques clashed madly, sword lights flashed, and waves of collision power swept and blanketed everything in a never-ending tide.
The three elders also suddenly charged at this moment, unleashing a frenzied assault on Flame Shadow with all their might.
Flame Shadow was battling four at once.
