Chapter 803 - 420: Pushing Us Too Far
"Fourth brother!"
"You bastard! This is too much!"
"Guys, be careful! It’s really Beichen Sword Sect!"
Seeing Tie Dan’s Sword Rainbow so fierce, cutting off Fourth Brother’s arm with one strike, the three were greatly shocked. They immediately switched from attack to defense, performing protective spells and expressing their thoughts.
Tie Dan didn’t pursue; he just stood there, staring at them emotionlessly.
What a bunch of useless fools who couldn’t even take a single move.
But who would know that they still want to fight? I guess even weaklings have their pride.
"Yimu Shengchun! One Thought, a Thousand Threads!"
"Heavenly Essence and Earth Fire! Li Fire Becomes Dragon!"
The purple and red fools launched their first attack, performing a combined skill.
The purple fool unleashed the Purple Mist Dao Energy, transforming into thousands of Yimu Qingtiao, vines and willows, and covered the area with a massive net, entwining around the sword.
Meanwhile, the red fool condensed the Red Fiend Dao Flame into a Li Fire Flame Dragon, scorching along the green vine net, burning with Dao Fire while spreading smoke to obscure the view.
"Kun Yuan Carries Everything, Turning Stones into Gold!"
At the same time, the green fool created a large hand to grab the injured white fool, bringing him into the array for protection and reattaching the severed arm, then turned stones into gold to create a temporary prosthetic.
Roar... Interesting... even fools who’ve trained for thousands of years have some redeeming qualities...
Knowing that they couldn’t withstand the Sword Rainbow, Tie Dan did not bully them further. Amidst the sky-covering willows and fire dragons, he took out a gourd from his sleeve, sipped some wine, and spat it out.
The wine transformed into a sword, forming a thin ice blade that pierced through the smoke and fire cloud, striking the willow branches and vines.
"Ah—!"
The purple fool let out a scream, exposed by the spell breakage, pierced through the chest by a sword, and fell from hiding, blood spurting wildly!
"Third sister!"
The red fool roared with a dragon’s fury, unable to hold back any longer! Clawing fiercely as it swiftly approached Tie Dan to swallow him whole!
Tie Dan neither dodged nor evaded, opening up the Sword Ball, allowing it to come.
"Ow—!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The ten-zhang Red Fiend Dao Dragon charged fiercely, crashing against the reef like fiery waves, instantly shattered, breaking apart as the sword destroyed the Red Fiend, leaving fire extinguished and True Qi scattered.
The red fool crashed into the sword light, twisted into a bloody mess, body falling apart, flesh and bones scattered by the wind.
"Second brother!"
The green fool’s eyes bulged in rage, letting out a roar, extending both palms to catch the fallen purple and red fools.
Tie Dan continued drinking, watching them wail beneath him with an emotionless gaze.
The crane had just gone out when it saw, "Oh crap, it’s all over!" With a quick turn, it flew back to Tie Dan, flattering shamelessly,
"Amazing—! Such an incredible Sword Dao! Truly worthy of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady True Inheritance! Beichen Sword Sect Leader! Nine Luminaries Sword Pavilion’s Prime! Supreme Infinite Sword Master! True Lord of the Mysterious Heaven!"
Tie Dan rolled his eyes at it,
"Now you recognize me."
The crane sprayed saliva everywhere,
"The Sect Leader’s renowned name echoes through the Cloud Platform and shakes the Ninth Peak! This fool was blind to recognize a True Immortal, truly deserving of death! Having the fortune to be ridden by the Sword Immortal is truly a blessing accumulated from past lives!"
Tie Dan hadn’t expected this fellow to be so annoying, seems like he needs to learn from Lingxu and refine some pills to keep it quiet...
"Alright, hey, green one, still want to fight?"
Seated on the crane, Tie Dan coldly gazed towards the array below.
At this point, the green fool had dragged his siblings back into the array, assessed their injuries, and urgently fed them Elixir Pills to save them. Naturally, he could see that Tie Dan had held back; their severe injuries were purely due to their own ineptness, unable to block a single strike.
Thus, he dared not challenge further, proactively stowing away his magic artifacts, dismantling the array, bowing and saluting,
"Thank you, Sword Monarch, for sparing us."
After passing the gatekeeping fools, Tie Dan rode the crane straight into the city, where the Immortal Palace’s office was not blind, having witnessed the Heavenly Mountain Immortal’s magical duel’s outcome, none dared to seek death.
Once the crane landed, a Minister of the Ministry of Rites with Copper Seal and Black Ribbon, accompanied by servants, came to greet.
"Unaware of the Immortal’s arrival, we failed to welcome you in advance, apologies for our lack of protocol..."
"No need for formalities, just get it something to eat, where is the Eldest Princess? Take me to her."
The crane, feeling proud, raised its head with satisfaction.
"Yes, of course, we dare not neglect; however..."
The temple minister hesitated,
"Unaware of the Immortal’s connection to the Eldest Princess, with extensive clan protocols, and the princess as the General of the Southern Expedition’s wife, Lady of Duke Wuchang, an outsider’s meeting may be inconvenient..."
Tie Dan hadn’t replied yet, when the crane, "Gwaaah—!" shouted,
"Where did this wild brat come from! Doesn’t recognize favors! Do you think we Mountain Men can’t see your family’s fortune!
My Sect Master gave you face by asking you! I’m just a beast and won’t give you face!
Any more nonsense and I’ll peck her over myself! Let’s see what you can do then! Sect Leader o~"
Tie Dan, "Hmm."
The temple minister’s scalp tingled,
"Dare not, dare not. I will lead the way right away; come, prepare food for the Immortal creature..."
"Bring a fish, some shrimp for it to munch on~~"
Knowing the visitors were not friendly, the temple minister saw no malice yet, quickly led the way, and discreetly signaled to inform the princess’s attendants.
Tie Dan was indeed aware, feigning ignorance, went around with them a couple of times, until the Eldest Princess was ready at her temporary residence, he then went to pay his respects.
A Prince’s offspring, aristocrats and dukes, might lose anything but their status, even amidst the current chaotic escape, with a little time the princess’s maids managed to tidy up the courtyard, hang up silk drapes and set screens, guards stood at the door, while maidens lit candles inside, creating a scene fit for a regal audience.
