Chapter 4: The Sword Immortal Puppet

  "Malong, hurry back and kill that little brat first. I'll avenge your brother myself!" Zhao Qiang scolded the yellow-robed Golden Immortal who wanted to fight Hóng Jūn to the death. In this state, he could only find Hóng Jūn to send himself to his death. Even Zhao Qiang couldn't break through his defenses, let alone Malong, who was just a third-level Golden Immortal.

  "Shaomen Zhuzi, he killed my brother! You must avenge him for me!" Huang Yijin's eyes were filled with tears as she glared at Hong Jun and said to Zhao Qiang in a sorrowful voice.

  "Don't worry, I'll definitely not let him off!" Zhao Qiang patted Huang Yijin's shoulder lightly. Malong and Matou were personally selected by Zhao Qiang as his attendants inside the gate. Usually, they knew how to please him, but suddenly one of them died, and Zhao Qiang didn't feel good about it either.

  Zhao Qiang waited, and within half a minute, the two Golden Immortals inside the door would definitely arrive. When that time came, it would be the moment of Hong Jun's and Pangu's demise.

  Zhao Qiang stopped, but Hong Jun didn't. The golden knife and small sword occasionally flew into the crowd surrounding Gu Pan, and those Golden Immortals didn't dare to resist them head-on. One Golden Immortal tried to use his spiritual energy to trap the small sword directly, but unexpectedly, the small sword passed through the spiritual energy shield formed by that Golden Immortal. If he hadn't dodged in time, he would have ended up like the Purple Robe Golden Immortal.

  Hong Jun's intervention broke the siege of a dozen or so people, and Gu Pan finally seized the opportunity. A second-level Golden Immortal was stabbed by Gu Pan while dodging Hong Jun's golden sword, and another Golden Immortal under Zhao Qiang's command died.

  However, this Golden Immortal finally self-destructed with his Yuan Ying before he died, and Gu Pan was also injured, making the situation even more dangerous than before.

  Zhao Qiang shouted angrily again, and rushed forward, entwining himself around this indestructible Hong Jun, not giving him time to intervene in the surrounding attack of his followers.

  After a while!

  "Lesser Master!" Two black-clad men suddenly flew in, clasping their fists in greeting to Zhao Qiang. The two 9th-level Golden Immortals sent by the sect had finally arrived.

  "Brother Liu, Brother Fang, you've finally arrived!" Zhao Qiang exclaimed excitedly.

  "Shaomen Lord, these two people are not simple, they're absolutely not the superficial first-level Tianxian! " Liu Chengyun carefully observed Gu Pan and Hong Jun who were fighting with the crowd, and had the opportunity to release divine artifacts to disturb these people, frowning and said.

  "Master, I'm afraid that golden knife and small sword are not just top-grade spiritual artifacts!" Fang Chengfei transmitted to Zhao Qiang. As the person in charge of artifact refinement at Feitian Gate, Fang Chengfei had seen many top-grade spiritual artifacts, but none were like these two. The chill emanating from the blades of the knife and sword gave people a sense of coldness even from a distance.

  "Fang Shixiong, what do you mean? Is that kid's Golden Blade even better than an Extreme Treasure?" Zhao Qiang's eyes suddenly shone brightly, his heart racing rapidly. Fang Chengfei's meaning was clear to Zhao Qiang - something better than an Extreme Treasure could only be a legendary Divine Artifact.

  "Less Gate Master, take down these two and we will naturally understand. If it is really like this, Less Gate Master can establish a great merit!" Fang Chengfei nodded and said.

  Since the Mystic Temple was taken away by Qin Yu, the divine artifacts of the Xianmo Yao realm have been decreasing. Some divine artifacts followed some Xian Emperors to ascend to the Divine Realm. Now, only a few major powers have a few divine artifacts, and Feitianmen doesn't even have one.

  "Liu Shixiong, Fang Shixiong, that little brat is very arrogant. You two join forces and I'll go take care of that injured kid! If we achieve a great merit, I will definitely give credit to both of you in front of Father!"

  The appearance of the two men in black quickly caught Hong Jun's attention. Judging from Zhao Qiang's attitude, these two people must have a higher cultivation level than Zhao Qiang. Gu Pan's body was already injured in many places and might not be able to hold on for much longer. Hong Jun transmitted his voice to Gu Pan, and the two of them instantly entered Hong Jun's estate. At the same time, Hong Jun summoned the Sword Immortal Puppet.

  The two suddenly disappeared, and a strange black-robed man suddenly appeared here. Zhao Qiang and Liu Chengyun, Fang Chengfei were all shocked. Especially the appearance of this stranger, Fang and Liu could not detect any aura from him at all.

  "In the lower realm, Flying Heaven Gate's affairs are managed by Liu Chengyun. I dare to ask, who are you and why do you want to rescue the enemy that Flying Heaven Gate is currently capturing?" Liu Chengyun first reported his name, hoping that the name of Flying Heaven Gate would be useful to this person. However, for a 9th-level Golden Immortal who couldn't see through him, a bad idea first appeared in Liu Chengyun's mind."

  "Liu Shixiong, this person isn't a Xuanxian, is he?" Fang Chengfei was worried just like Liu Chengyun.

  "It's unclear, but we're not afraid of the Flying Heaven Gate either. This is Yu Yang Star!" Liu Chengyun sent a message to Fang Chengfei, and they didn't dare to make any rash moves until they understood the identity of this stranger.

  Zhao Qiang was unclear about what was going on, but seeing the serious expressions of his two senior brothers, he also knew that things had become tricky. He had originally thought that the other party were just two or three Golden Immortals disguising themselves as First-Order Heavenly Immortals to show off their wealth, but unexpectedly, another stranger appeared.

  "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that those two are my friends. You want to kill them? What do you expect me to do?"

  The black-robed man was a dangerous puppet controlled by Hong Jun. The real body of Hong Jun accompanied Gu Pan in the Hong Jun Mansion to check his injuries, only releasing the Sword Immortal Puppet outside. These people had injured Gu Pan, and Hong Jun no longer intended to let them off.

  "You must be an enemy of our Flying Heaven Gate!" Liu Chengyun shouted angrily, and together with Fang Chengfei, they protected Zhao Qiang behind them. Others could die, but Zhao Qiang had to be kept safe at all costs. If anything happened to him, the two wouldn't need to return to Flying Heaven Gate anymore.

  "How could it be!" Hong Jun's hand shook, and a small sword appeared in his hand. It quickly grew larger and transformed into a normal immortal sword. A sword aura chopped forward.

  Liu Chengyun, Fang Chengfei and Zhao Qiang all shouted loudly, activated their immortal armor, released their immortal power together, and resisted the sword energy of the Sword Immortal Puppet.

  "Xian Xian! Are you the Sword Immortal of the Mystic Realm? You're attacking us with the power of a Celestial Emperor, aren't you afraid of losing your reputation?" The three were pushed back several meters by the powerful sword energy and stabilized their bodies. Liu Chengyun shouted loudly at Hong Jun, "Mystic Immortal!" Hong Jun smiled slightly and said softly, "I haven't reached the Mystic Immortal realm yet, but I'm only one step away!"

  Hong Jun's words made Liu Chengyun feel slightly more at ease, the opponent was not a fairy emperor after all, and Fei Tian Men could still cope with it, but unfortunately they had no idea about the terror of the Sword Immortal Puppet.

  That sword just now was just a test by Hong Jun, the real attack hasn't started yet.

  Hong Jun suddenly moved, instantly flying to the side of a third-level Golden Immortal, his divine sword directly piercing through that immortal's body. With a faint smile: "The sword wound on Gu Pan's body earlier was left by you, wasn't it?"

  "You..." That third-level Golden Immortal was pierced through his dantian by the divine sword, and after saying one word, his head sank down.

  "You must be an enemy of Flying Heaven's Gate!" Neither Liu Chengyun nor Fang Chengfei saw Hong Jun's movement clearly, and they didn't even have time to react. Someone on their side had already died.

  "How interesting!" Hong Jun's mouth curled up with a hint of a smile, the person controlled by the Sword Immortal puppet was killed, and that third-level Golden Immortal's primordial spirit transformed into a true spirit and flew into the Seal of the Gods.

  "You're saying this a bit too late, aren't you? Earlier, it was your people who wanted to put my two friends to death!" Hong Jun smiled slightly and raised his divine sword once again.

  "Sweeping away all obstacles!"

  Hong Jun lightly shouted, directly using the eighth move of the Broken Sky Sword Technique. Just now, through the sword immortal puppet's divine sense, he discovered that a master with an invisible cultivation level had appeared beside him. The sword immortal puppet's divine sense couldn't detect it, so it must be a fairy emperor.

  In an instant, eight sword auras centered on Hong Jun flew towards the dozen or so people of Fei Tian Men. The eight sword auras, with the strongest three flying towards Zhao Qiang and his two companions, while the other five targeted the remaining nine people who had just attacked Gu Pan.

  "How dare you!" The deputy master of Fei Tian Men, Wang Si Ming, a second-level immortal emperor who had been watching the battle from the side, instantly moved to Zhao Qiang's side. No matter what, he couldn't let Zhao Qiang get hurt under his nose.

  Wang Siming still underestimated the few sword auras, thinking that Liu Chengyun and Fang Chengfei could withstand the divided sword aura. Unexpectedly, the powerful sword aura caused even Wang Siming to retreat dozens of meters, his chest feeling stifled, with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, already injured.

  Those nine people were at most fourth-level Golden Immortals, with sword energy pressing down on them. Five of them died on the spot, and the other four were also severely injured, falling to the ground, unable to fly again.

  Liu Chengyun knew something was wrong when the sword energy was released, and all his immortal power was concentrated on his battle armor. In those days, Qin Yu used a mid-grade divine artifact 'Breaking Heaven' to release this move, causing several 8th-level Golden Immortals to die instantly. Although Liu Chengyun was a 9th-level Golden Immortal, Hong Jun's attack was made with a high-grade divine artifact, and even he couldn't withstand it.

  The immortal armor was shattered, and the yuan infant was directly dispersed. Liu Chengyun transformed into a true spirit on the Seal of the Gods list.

  Fang Chengyun's luck was slightly better than Liu Chengyun. Before the sword energy arrived, he had already retreated quickly with Zhao Qiang. The sword energy that attacked Fang Chengyun was partially blocked by Wang Si Ming. As a result, Fang Chengyun's immortal armor was destroyed, his body severely injured, and he fell to the ground, vomiting blood nonstop.

  Wang Si Ming broke out in a cold sweat, if he hadn't acted in time just now, Zhao Qiang would probably have become a vengeful spirit. Everyone at the scene was injured except for Zhao Qiang, who stood there stupidly, not daring to believe his eyes as he looked around at the carnage.

  "You're quite ruthless!" Wang Siming glared at Hong Jun, his anger rising as he thought about how the manager of Fei Tian Men had been killed right in front of him. This was a humiliation that Wang Siming couldn't swallow no matter what.

  Wang Siming quickly arranged for someone to send Zhao Qiang away. The sword immortal in front of him, his attack power was absolutely not below that of the Immortal Emperor.

  The last blow had used up nearly 60% of the nine pieces of top-grade yuan spiritual stones. Hong Jun replaced the nine pieces of top-grade yuan spiritual stones to deal with the Immortal Emperor, but the remaining 40% was far from enough.

  "You flew in through the heavenly gate, wanting to kill my friends, take their weapons, and yet you didn't have the awareness that you could be killed?" Hong Jun smiled coldly, not too satisfied with the earlier effect. If it weren't for this immortal emperor's appearance, Zhao Qiang and Fang Chengyun would absolutely not have been able to withstand that earlier blow.

  "Your Excellency, come to the void and let Master Si Ming teach you a lesson, this sword immortal!"

  Wang Si Ming stared intently at Hong Jun, the earlier earth-shattering sword had completely destroyed the buildings around the small inn. Even some of the immortals who were watching from a distance were injured by the residual shockwave and retreated far away.
