BXBX NOVEL Chapter 922: Uncompromising (2)
“A peerless immortal will do,” Commander Huo said hurriedly.
Are you kidding me? Even if he went bankrupt, he would not be able to fork out the price of an Immortal King.
Ten days later, in Yanhuo Maple Forest, the scenery here was beautiful. When the wind blew, the surrounding maple forest that was like burning clouds swayed. It had the beauty of the setting sun.
Shen Ping’s true soul power had long metamorphosed to the level of Immortal King, and he had also comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. He was sensitive to any subtle fluctuations in his surroundings. When the wind moved just now, he shifted his gaze to the left and saw a peerless immortal assassin from the Assassin Hall buried in the forest of burning clouds. The moment Shen Ping noticed him, the assassin stabbed at him with lightning speed in the blink of an eye.
The terrifying energy was concentrated at one point. His combat strength was barely comparable to that of an Immortal King.
It came so close to Shen Ping’s face. When the assassin missed, he immediately fled. Wanting to escape from Shen Ping was useless. He only used a portion of the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and combined it with the strange beast immortal essence energy to trap the assassin.
After a round of fighting, the assassin had fallen.
In the next half a month, Shen Ping encountered two more assassination attempts in a row. Each time, the assassin was very strong, but it was useless. The Assassin Hall also canceled this assassination mission according to the rules and increased the reward for assassinating Shen Ping to the level of a top-grade immortal artifact.
To be able to take out a top-grade immortal artifact, it was at least at the Immortal King level. This made Commander Huo a little anxious. He could only ask General Black Horn for help.
Black Horn Residence.
The atmosphere was a little more oppressive than last time. No one had expected Shen Ping to be so strong that even the three waves of peerless immortal assassins sent by the Assassin Hall had failed. Commander Huo had taken out almost half of his wealth.
The hot-tempered deputy general did not say anything. With such strength, he would only be courting death if he went.
“General, my junior’s death is not worthy of pity, but once the prestige of the army is shaken, it will have a huge impact on the combat strength and morale of the entire army. This Shen fellow must be dealt with. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble!” Commander Huo said.
General Black Horn glared at him. However, he knew that what Commander Huo said was the truth. The entire Immortal City was paying attention to this matter. If the Black Horn Army really admitted defeat, it would be very difficult for the Black Horn Army to choose an outstanding reserve army in the future.
Therefore, even if he did not want to clean up this guy’s mess, he had to think of a way to get rid of Shen Ping. This was the helplessness of the Grand Army. He had no choice. It was influenced by various factors, unlike an individual who took a step back.
“With this Shen’s strength, even I might not be able to win. How about this? You guys will follow me to hold the fort. If I fall into a disadvantage during this period, you guys attack together! Commander Huo, hold my token and head to Manor A3 in the main city. Give him the token and the other party will understand what I mean.”
“Understood.”
Since the Black Horn General had decided to take action, it meant that he had made all kinds of preparations. It could be said that other than Immortal Kings, the connections he could use this time had reached the limit.
…
Many factions in the city had been paying close attention to the assassination attempt. After learning of the Black Horn Legion’s movements, many factions had secretly sent experts to watch the battle. They wanted to see how powerful this new peerless immortal was. Would he die or advance to the next level?
Except for the major factions, the five Immortal Kings who were in seclusion within the city had all heard of it. However, they only paid a bit of attention to it before continuing their seclusion to comprehend it.
For Immortal Kings, as long as it wasn’t the life and death of the immortal city, they wouldn’t care. After all, pursuing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was the most fundamental. They no longer cared about other ordinary matters, including many resources, unless it was resources related to the Great Dao of the Heaven and Earth or the strengthening of the Dao Embryo, as well as treasures of the Great Dao.
The three peerless immortals gathered together in the main city. They were still a little worried about Shen Ping. “General Black Horn is going to take action. He became famous a hundred thousand years ago and killed three late peerless immortals at once. He even killed a peak peerless immortal. It’s said that he’s almost invincible below the immortal king realm. Other than immortal kings, he’s ranked in the top five in the immortal city!”
“It’s very difficult for Shen Ping to defeat General Black Horn. General Black Horn has also been assassinated five times in a row, but the Assassin Hall has never succeeded.”
“It’s useless for us to worry. By now, General Black Horn has already arrived at the location of the Yanhuo Maple Forest.”
While they were discussing, they all looked at the Yanhuo Maple Forest.
In the center of the maple forest, there was one who wore black armor with blood-colored barbs on his shoulders. He was burly and powerful, more than three meters tall. This was a peerless immortal with a powerful physique. He stared at Shen Ping with bright eyes and held a terrifying three-pointed, double-edged spear with a bloodthirsty edge.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, if you are willing to bow your head to our Black Horn Legion, then we can still be friends. At night, we can still drink, eat, and taste the immortal wine together. This matter was not worth mentioning. Huo Yao’s death is not worth pitying, but he can’t die in the hands of our Black Horn Legion. I will let him go. How you deal with him in the future is up to you.”
To be able to say that, it was enough to show how much General Black Horn valued Shen Ping. After all, the Underworld was not about fighting and killing. The Underworld was about the ways of the world. In the circle of experts in the Northern Ice Immortal City, there were very few fights. Everyone did not come here for the safety of the human race’s territory. They only wanted to earn resources.
If it was in the past, Shen Ping would definitely agree readily. He was not a warlike person. He had always adhered to the idea of making more friends and would not easily make enemies.
However, things are different now. He urgently needed an opportunity to fight. He had to fight more experts. He has to overcome the calamity he has to face since he started cultivating, otherwise, the threshold of the Immortal King Realm would be like a natural chasm.
“General, if you want to do it, do it quickly. There’s no need for nonsense.”
General Black Horn sighed. He gripped the black spear shaft tightly with his fingers and activated the three-pointed, double-edged spear. He slashed fiercely at Shen Ping at lightning speed. This slash seemed to want to cut open space.
That indomitable and invincible aura shocked Shen Ping. He wanted to use the Primordial Chaos Spear to block, but he was stunned to discover that he could not move under this aura. He could only activate the immortal artifact on his body to defend.
General Black Horn shook his head. “Your will is too weak. You can’t even resist this aura. To think I thought you were so strong. Die!”
He brandished his weapon and kept attacking the immortal artifact’s defensive barrier. Just four to five full-powered attacks, and a crack appeared on the immortal artifact.
Hmph. Shen Ping snorted coldly. The strange beast bloodline on his body was activated, and his enhanced talent was instantly activated. His strength, temperament, bloodline, and so on increased greatly. Facing General Black Horn’s aura, he was no longer timid at all. Instead, he shook the Primordial Chaos Spear and stabbed forward.
A spear mark appeared in the air.
General Black Horn’s heart skipped a beat. Just an ordinary spear technique was actually so terrifying. He immediately put away the underestimation in his heart and increased the strength of his attack. The immortal artifact on his body was also unleashing the power of illusion, trying to use the illusion to put Shen Ping in a difficult situation.
