A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Chapter 968: Don't Disturb Me

"You're not getting away!" Sha Xin yelled, and the Gold-Winged Falcon immediately set off in pursuit of E Kuai and Mistress Liu Hua at an astonishing speed, reaching them in the blink of an eye before grabbing down with its massive talons.

Right at this moment, Mistress Liu Hua suddenly swept a sleeve through the air, releasing a streak of black light that hurtled directly toward the oncoming Gold-Winged Falcon like lightning.

The black light was formed by countless tiny black particles, and it was giving off very peculiar energy fluctuations.

Sha Xin seemed to have identified what the streak of black light was right away, and an alarmed look appeared on her face as she exclaimed, "Where did you obtain this Extreme Origin Magnetic Light from?!"

At the same time, the Gold-Winged Falcon swerved to the left at her behest to try and evade the streak of black light, but it was already too late, and the streak of black light struck the Gold-Winged Falcon in the abdomen.

A loud thump rang out as the burst of black light exploded into a series of glowing black ripples that rapidly spread outward in all directions.

The Gold-Winged Falcon's movements instantly became extremely stiff, and high-pitched grating sounds could be heard ringing out from within it, as if its internal mechanisms were being severely impeded.

E Kuai and Mistress Liu Hua pounced on this opportunity to dart away to the side to evade the Gold-Winged Falcon, which continued to fly forward in an uncontrolled fashion before crashing heavily down onto the ground, smashing open a massive crater.

Sha Xin was able to dismount the Gold-Winged Falcon in time, and she was also smashed into the crater along with it.

E Kuai and Mistress Liu Hua continued onward without pause, and right as E Kuai was passing by a certain sheltered spot, he abruptly rushed into it for a moment, and a pained cry rang out before immediately cutting off again.

As E Kuai re-emerged from that sheltered spot, he was carrying a person with him, and Han Li was surprised to identify that it was none other than Shi Chuankong.

His eyes were tightly shut, but his aura still remained, so it seemed that he had only been knocked unconscious.

This came as quite a relief to Han Li, but at the same time, he was rather perplexed. E Kuai had sustained very severe injuries, and he was still in a very perilous situation, so why was it that he had taken the time to capture Shi Chuankong instead of focusing wholeheartedly on fleeing the scene?

E Kuai continued to rush away like lightning, appearing in front of the wall that was riddled with cracks in the blink of an eye.

Radiant white starlight erupted out of his fist as he threw an almighty punch into the wall, and the entire building shuddered violently as a huge hole was smashed into the wall, allowing the light outside to shine into the hall.

Right at this moment, Sha Xin flew out of the crater in the distance, and an urgent look appeared on her face as she rushed after E Kuai and Mistress Liu Hua, displaying some very impressive speed of her own.

At the same time, she swept both sleeves through the air to release a pair of silver balls, each of which split open to transform into a giant silver bird in the blink of an eye, and the two silver bird puppets flapped their wings urgently as they flew after E Kuai and the Mistress Liu Hua.

Silver light was flashing over the bodies of the bird puppets, and countless sharp silver spikes shot forth through the air, raining down upon the targets that they were pursuing.

Even though Sha Xin had reacted very quickly, too much distance had already been opened up between her and E Kuai's duo, and the two of them rushed out of the hole in the wall before the bird puppets and the torrential barrage of silver spikes could reach them.

The silver spikes rained down onto the wall, instantly punching it full of countless holes.

The two silver bird puppets were quite similar in appearance to the Gold-Winged Falcon, but they seemed to be far inferior in power.

However, they weren't much slower than the Gold-Winged Falcon, and they were unable to arrest their own momentum as they crashed heavily into the hole in the wall.

Two resounding booms rang out as the entire building shuddered violently once again, and the hole in the wall was expanded significantly, but still not to the degree that it could allow the two puppets to pass through.

The two silver puppets were stuck in the hole, and they were struggling with all their might, presenting a rather comical sight to behold.

Sha Xin rushed over to the wall with a furious expression, and she made a rapid string of hand seals, upon which the two puppets rapidly shrank back down into a pair of silver balls that flew into her grasp.

"Xiao Zi, Kun Yu, come with me. Zhuo Fa, I'm going after E Kuai, so I'll leave everything here to you. You can have control of the Gold-Winged Falcon for now as well. Kill all of the Profound City scoundrels here!" Sha Xin ordered as she turned to Zhuo Fa.

At this moment, Fu Jian was still trapped in his crimson cocoon, and his aura was becoming more and more feeble, clearly indicating that he wasn't far away from death.

Out of the other three subsidiary city lords, Qin Yuan was dead, and Chen Yang had defected to Puppet City, so the remaining Profound City forces consisted only of Han Li, Sun Tu, Duan Tong, Zhu Ziyuan, and Zhu Ziqing.

Duan Tong, Zhu Ziyuan, and Zhu Ziqing's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, and they wanted to flee, but they didn't dare to for fear of incurring Sha Xin's wrath.

At this moment, black light was flashing over Sun Tu's body, seemingly having unleashed some type of secret technique, and he rose to his feet with a grim expression.

"You can count on me, City Lord Sha!" Zhuo Fa assured as he cupped his fist in a salute, while the woman in purple and the brawny man by the name of Kun Yu prepared to set off with Sha Xin.

Han Li's gaze was focused intently on the woman that had been referred to as Xiao Zi by Sha Xin. Right as the trio was about to depart, Sha Xin seemed to have suddenly detected Han Li's gaze, and she turned to look at him.

Han Li hurriedly looked away upon seeing this, continuing to act as if he were in excruciating pain.

A hint of befuddlement flashed through Sha Xin's eyes, but she didn't delay any longer here and flew out of the hole in the wall, followed closely by Xiao Zi and Kun Yu.

Meanwhile, Zhuo Fa made a hand gesture, and Wu Yun, the two bald men, Chen Yang, and Xuanyuan Xing immediately converged to surround Sun Tu and the others.

Grim looks appeared on the faces of the four Profound City cultivators, and they immediately formed a circle with their backs facing each other.

Inside the Weeping Blood Array, Han Li was watching the purple-robed woman's departing figure with a conflicted look on his face.

However, he was able to quickly compose himself before continuing to absorb the tremendous bloodline power in the array.

At this point, both Sha Xin and E Kuai had already left, so he no longer had to keep up his act, and he began channeling his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts with all his might.

Bright crimson light erupted out of his body as one profound acupoint was opened after another amid a string of dull thumps.

The entire Weeping Blood Array was also suddenly glowing far brighter than before, and the crimson light inside was swirling rapidly to form a vortex.

The attention of the Puppet City cultivators was instantly drawn to Han Li, and Sun Tu and Duan Tong pounced on this opportunity to rush out of the encirclement.

At the same time, Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing also rushed away in another direction.

Zhuo Fa cursed himself for his own complacency as he immediately set off in pursuit of Sun Tu and Duan Tong with one of the bald men, and at the same time, he yelled, "Wu Yun, you and Hei Er go chase after the other two. Chen Yang, Xuanyuan Xing, I'll leave the two people in the array to you."

Wu Yun and the other bald man gave an affirmative response before rushing after Zhu Ziyuan and his sister, while Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing made their way over to the Weeping Blood Array.

Right at this moment, a cold harrumph suddenly rang out beside their ears, and they felt as if a pair of red-hot daggers had been driven into their skulls.

They were just about to cry out in pain when a series of translucent chains shot out of the array, then vanished into their heads in a flash.

The two of them were instantly completely immobilized and rooted to the spot.

All of this had taken place in the blink of an eye, so Zhuo Fa and the others weren't aware that anything was amiss. From their perspective, it simply looked like Chen Yang and Xuanyuan Xing were observing the Weeping Blood Array.

"Given our past history, I won't kill you, but don't disturb me," Han Li said in a cold voice, then continued to channel his Heavenly Baleful Purgatory Arts with all his might.

After fleeing out of the encirclement, Sun Tu and Duan Tong immediately rushed toward the hole in the wall that had been smashed open by E Kuai.

However, both of them were carrying injuries that hampered their speed, so they were intercepted halfway by Zhuo Fa and the bald man.

Two resounding booms rang out as a giant white wolf and a giant silver panther came crashing down from above, standing directly in their path.

Each puppet was over a hundred feet tall, and they were casting enormous shadows over Sun Tu and Duan Tong.

Zhuo Fan and the bald man were each standing atop the head of one of the giant beast puppets, and Sun Tu and Duan Tong stopped in their tracks as looks of despair began to surface in their eyes.

"I have no personal qualms against you, but City Lord Sha has ordered me to take your lives, so I have no choice but to oblige," Zhuo Fa said, and the wolf puppet opened its cavernous mouth a this behest before biting down viciously upon Sun Tu and Duan Tong.
