Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3564: Punitive Expedition Against the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder (3)

Many Immortal Monarchs hovered above the main hall of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, glaring at the immortal vessel from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens murderously.

If it were not for the Immortal Devouring Orchid on the immortal vessel that deterred them, they probably would have torn the immortal vessel apart immediately.

“I am the sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. May I ask why the fellows of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens have come to our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder with such fanfare?” A middle-aged man hovered at the very front, at the same height as the immortal vessel from the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. He cupped his fist as he spoke politely but not submissively.

Only when his gaze swept past the Immortal Devouring Orchid would it become stern.

The sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch.

“The sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder?” Jian Chen stood with his arms crossed on the immortal vessel as he stared at the sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder with a sneer. “You still don’t have the right to talk to me. Where’s your ancestor, Lei Ba? Tell him to come here.”

“How dare you. The ancestor of our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder is an Immortal Emperor. How can a mere Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal like you meet him as you please?” an Immortal Monarch old man said sternly from behind the sect master of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder.

In the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Immortal Monarchs were enough to become great elders.

Jian Chen’s eyes turned cold. He called out, “Elder Chen!”

As soon as Jian Chen said that, the thrum of a sword erupted. Chen Shifang struck out instantly. A resplendent streak of light shot out, slashing towards the great elder mercilessly.

“How dare you!” Chen Shifang’s behaviour angered the group of great elders of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, as the great elder under attack was only a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch. He was completely incapable of blocking a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch’s attack.

The other Immortal Monarch great elders were all ready to block.

“Anyone who acts will die!” Jian Chen said coldly from the immortal vessel.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid located towards the back of the immortal vessel immediately released a blanketing pressure, frightening the great elders of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder into doing nothing.

Spurt!

In the end, the streak of light plunged into the great elder of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder’s forehead without any obstruction, piercing his head and shattering his soul, killing him for good.

They had directly killed a great elder before all the disciples of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. That sight immediately stunned the entire crowd.

Chen Shifang stood with his sword stowed away on the immortal vessel. A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. With his strength, he could kill a Second Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch effortlessly, but he definitely could not kill them in a single strike while they were still unscathed.

He subconsciously glanced at the Immortal Devouring Orchid behind him as his mind shuddered. He knew that this was the result of the Immortal Devouring Orchid secretly assisting him.

On the other side, the experts from the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder suddenly erupted into an uproar after a moment of silence. The Sword Sect of Violet Heavens had killed a great elder before all of them. All of them were filled with righteous indignation, roaring out furiously in infuriation.

To many of them, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was still a puny sect that they could oppress. Now, the puny sect that they could freely oppress had actually killed one of their great elders in such a brazen manner, which obviously left them in a rage.

The pressure of an Immortal Emperor suddenly spread out. The last ancestor of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Lei Ba, appeared silently.

He looked at Jian Chen with mixed feelings and sighed. “When I saw you last time, you could not even be considered as a disciple of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, yet now, you’ve already become the sect master of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Even your two seniors, Nong Fugui and Chen Shifang, listen to your orders.”

“We killed a great elder of the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder. As soon as you appeared, you did not mention the deceased great elder and instead chose to talk about these unimportant matters. Doesn’t your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder want to avenge this great elder?” Jian Chen stared at Lei Ba calmly with composure.

Lei Ba sighed and said, “Over the years, our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder has oppressed the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, but in my opinion, there isn’t any irreconcilable grievances between our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder and the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Why don’t we settle our grievances with the great elder’s death and some bountiful remuneration?”

“Your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder almost made the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens lose its territory and approach destruction. This grievance isn’t one that can be settled just because you want to have it resolved. Moreover, when we dealt with the Immortal Sect of Sword Control, the Immortal Sect of Azures Foxes, the Immortal Sect of Three Yang, and the Immortal Sect of Scarlet Sunset in the past, ancestor Lei Yunxing of your Sword Sect of Startling Thunder had given them assistance, which lead to tremendous trouble for our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. If the Immortal Devouring Orchid had not appeared at that critical moment, the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens would probably no longer exist on the Reverent Observance Heaven,” Jian Chen said emotionlessly.

“Lei Yunxing is already dead.” Lei Ba’s expression was desolate.

“His death alone cannot resolve the grievances that we’ve built up over the years,” said Jian Chen.

“Our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder can compensate you with resources,” Lei Ba said bitterly. With the Ninth Heavenly Layer Immortal Devouring Orchid at the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, Lei Ba had completely lost the courage to resist.

“If I destroy the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder, wouldn’t all of your resources end up in the possession of the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens anyway?” Jian Chen stared at Lei Ba coldly.

Lei Ba stiffened. All of his blood seemed to stop flowing at that moment. Jian Chen’s words seemed to have an extremely great impact on him.

He silently stood on the spot for a good while before saying slowly, “Jian Chen, then what price do you want us to pay in order to spare our Sword Sect of Startling Thunder?”

Jian Chen glanced past the Immortal Monarchs behind Lei Ba. Three seconds later, the Immortal Devouring Orchid at the back suddenly began to move, directly extending countless vines that criss-crossed together to form a prison around Lei Ba, Jian Chen, elder Nong, and Chen Shifang.

The prison was airtight and served as a sturdy wall, blocking everyone’s gazes. As such, no one could see what was going on inside.

“Tell me, which organisation is behind the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder?” Jian Chen asked under the cover of the Immortal Devouring Orchid.

His questions would touch on secrets, so they needed obscuring to prevent any outsiders from knowing. He did not want to expose his strength prematurely either, so he was forced to make the Immortal Devouring Orchid cover for them.

With Jian Chen’s question, elder Nong and Chen Shifang exchanged glances. They were both surprised. They all thought that the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder was also a subsidiary of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants. They thought that all their deeds against the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens were a result of the Immortal Sect of Colossal Elephants.

But based on the current situation, it was not actually as they had imagined.

Lei Ba’s expression changed. “The organisation behind me is not one to be trifled with. I’d advise you against investigating them. Even if your origins are extraordinary and your background is powerful, I still need to advise you against provoking the people behind me.”

“If you don’t tell me, then the Sword Sect of Startling Thunder will cease to exist today.” Jian Chen’s eyes were frigid.

Lei Ba was conflicted when he heard that. He hesitated for a very long time before finally making up his mind. “Since you want to know so much, I’ll tell you.”

But at this moment, a streak of light shot down from above, piercing the barrier created by the Immortal Devouring Orchid’s vines and entering Lei Ba’s body with terrifying speed, far faster than anything that Jian Chen could react to.

Lei Ba’s body exploded with a boom. Within the deafening boom, he was reduced to nothing. Nothing was left.

Lei Ba, a Fourth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, had directly perished. Let alone putting up a struggle, he did not even have the time to react.

The Immortal Devouring Orchid was affected as well. A great swathe of vines vanished from the place where the light shot in, turning to dust.

Jian Chen’s expression changed drastically. He circulated his Chaotic Force furiously like he was about to face a powerful opponent, almost exposing himself in the process.

At this moment, he could clearly sense a particularly icy gaze looking over from the endless space, locking onto him.
