Chapter 1093: Outnumbered
This beam of sword light was unimaginably tall, reaching the heavens. It was also razor-thin, only slightly thicker than a sheet of paper.
Due to this, the strike split Thanglong Prefecture cleanly into two, but the actual damage was only a single line, as if a curtain had been drawn down the middle, separating the eastern and western halves of the city from each other.
Some unlucky people who happened to stand directly along that line were cleaved in half instantly. Their wounds were smooth as a mirror. Not even a drop of blood spilled out.
Others were lucky, being a hair’s breadth from the sword light. It grazed the tip of their shoe, just shy of slicing off their toes.
This line of sword light was nearly unstoppable. Even the Sheji Palace could not escape unscathed.
The sword light pierced through the palace’s protective formation and sliced off one corner of the structure, causing the entire Sheji Palace to tremble violently.
Chen Shuhua did not intend to target the Sheji Palace, which was formerly a Confucian Temple. Her true target was the giant palm in the sky.
That was her greatest threat.
Chen Shuhua’s only real advantage now was the immortal object in her hand. Although the Fenglin campaign had seen many immortal objects appear, the total number of such artifacts was few. After all, the campaign was an all-out war for the Fenglin royal family, so they had emptied their treasury. The Daoist Order and the Great Xuan Dynasty had dispatched Pseudo-Immortals and Immortals to the battlefield and in countering Izanagi’s schemes. Thus, only under such extreme circumstances did so many immortal objects gather in one place.
But this time was different. Poluo was not rebelling as a whole, nor was the entire Yu Kingdom rising in revolt. This was merely Chen Shuhua’s personal act, which was at best a coup. That was why only one immortal artifact was present in this fight.
Among Immortals, those with immortal objects held an immediate and overwhelming advantage over those without.
A fine line appeared across the radiant palm print as the sword light pierced straight through it. The massive palm print dimmed rapidly and soon dissolved into nothingness.
