Chapter 506: Fighting Divine Whip

When Fairy Yu turned around and saw the cold female cultivator who towered over, disbelief flashed in her eyes. "Senior Sister Zi? Are you also here to kill me?"

This cold female cultivator was a close friend of Jing Yuehan. She even occasionally visited the Void Immortal Sword Sect, and Jing Yuehan would also visit the Immortal Giant Sect to see her from time to time. Fairy Yu had met this woman more than once before. Back then, she had always treated Fairy Yu very well. It was unexpected to meet her here today.

This was clearly not a coincidence; she had come prepared.

The child riding the ox was somewhat surprised. "Daoist Zi, you actually know this demoness?"

The others remained calm, but surprise still flashed in their eyes.

Zi Yun looked down at Fairy Yu and then smiled lightly, her next words for everyone to hear. "I used to have an amicable relationship with her Senior Sister. She had not yet condensed her Inverse Immortal Demonic Embryo back then and was a promising disciple of the Extreme Sword Peak."

After a pause, Zi Yun looked at Fairy Yu deeply. "The conditions offered by Heavenly King Zhen's Manor are quite tempting. Since you still call me Senior Sister, why not stop resisting and let us capture you alive?"

Fairy Yu's voice turned cold, and her eyes were full of mockery. "Aren't you afraid that Senior Sister Jing will find out about this?"

Zi Yun smiled. "I heard that she has been imprisoned because of you. She probably won't be seen for another hundred or so years. By then, she won't even remember having a disciple like you who fell into demonic cultivation. We will remain good sisters."

“Demoness, is this person next to you the Immortal Seedling who killed a grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator with a single sword strike?” The child riding the ox turned his attention to Fang Chen, curious. "What is he doing? Is he cultivating? No, I don’t feel any spiritual energy around him, but his qi and blood are churning fiercely."

The one to answer was the young man who had his left eye closed. He replied coldly, "Perhaps he's cultivating some kind of technique. Now that he’s in a critical moment, it's perfect for us. We can easily capture them without much effort."

"Daoist Xu, we are Immortal Seedlings. You want us to catch someone in a moment of weakness?" The child riding the bull raised a brow. "We already brought so many people this time, which is humiliating enough. Now you want to attack him while he's cultivating?"

"Daoist Ning, on the path of cultivation, one should not hesitate to use any means necessary. You may be young and not understand this principle yet, but after experiencing a hundred years in the mortal world, perhaps you will come to understand this," said the young man with his left eye closed in a light tone.

"Help me delay them for a quarter of an hour," Fang Chen's voice sounded in Fairy Yu's ear.

Fairy Yu's expression changed slightly. A quarter of an hour?

She suddenly smiled. "Senior Sister Zi, with Immortal Seedlings like you taking action, we indeed have no chance of making it out today. Instead of dying left in the dark, why don't you tell us who these people with you are? Are they all Immortal Seedlings like you?"

"Haha! You guessed right!" The child riding the ox laughed heartily. "Demoness, we are all Immortal Seedlings. Daoist Zi is an Immortal Seedling of the Immortal Giant Sect, Daoist Zhou is an Immortal Seedling of the Innate Dao Sect, and Daoist Xu is—"

The young man with his left eye closed gave the child riding the ox a cold glance. "Daoist Ning, why are you revealing our identities one by one? Are you afraid that the Void Immortal Sword Sect won't know?"

Just then, he suddenly made a move, and a flash of sword light shot out swiftly, aiming straight for the center of Fairy Yu's eyebrows.

Clearly, he didn't intend to let them walk out of here alive.

Fairy Yu's face sank. Already prepared to fight, she burned her lifespan and slashed out with a sword.

Two terrifying sword lights collided in mid-air, sending shockwaves rippling in all directions.

The young man with his left eye tightly closed remained unharmed, seemingly unaffected by Fairy Yu's attack. His right eye flashed with mockery. "You can injure an ordinary grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator, but... your cultivation is still too low. You are only in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. If you want to harm me, you must be at the same stage as me."

In the next moment, he suddenly waved his sleeve.

Boom!

A terrifying force fell directly on Fairy Yu. The spiritual energy barrier around her shattered instantly, and she was sent flying, crashing into dozens of heavenly ancient trees.

Even a grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator would have to be cautious when facing Fairy Yu. However, in front of this young man, Fairy Yu appeared somewhat weak.

Now that her sword had no effect on the young man, it seemed she had no way to deal with him at all.

"It's just for a quarter of an hour, surely I can delay them?" Fairy Yu coughed up blood as she stood up. She smirked and wiped the blood off her lips. "That one didn't count. I wasn't ready. Come again."

The young man furrowed his brow slightly, indifferently waving his sleeve.

This time, Fairy Yu was fully prepared, and she finally saw what that mysterious force was. It was a virtual shadow resembling a whip. Before that whip, her spiritual barrier seemed as weak as tofu.

Boom!

Once again, Fairy Yu was thrown back, lying on the ground as she panted heavily. She cut a sorry figure.

"Just a moment, I can handle it." She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth again and stood up with effort. "Is this all you've got?"

"Demoness, this is Daoist Xu’s sect's Fighting Divine Whip. Daoist Xu hasn't exerted his full strength yet. If he does, even an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would have to retreat. You better not be stubborn and leave with us," said the child riding the ox.

Fighting Divine Whip?!

Fairy Yu was shocked, and her voice turned cold. "I've heard of this technique. You come from the Great Expansion Dao Gate! Your sect has not come out into the world for thousands of years, all because one of your ancestors unjustly harmed the disciples of our Void Immortal Sword Sect and used them to refine pills.

"That time, our ancestor attacked your sect’s ancestral grounds. Your sect wasn’t destroyed only because several ancestors intervened to stop the battle. But ever since then, you promised not to interfere in the matters of the mortal world for ten thousand years. Are you breaking that promise now?"

The youth with his left eye closed remained expressionless. He looked slowly at the ox-riding child. "Daoist Ning, are you doing this on purpose?"

The cow-riding child looked at him innocently. "What's wrong with that? You are indeed from the Great Expansion Dao Gate. I was just praising the formidable Fighting Divine Whip of your sect."

The youth ignored him and turned to Fairy Yu. "That incident was long ago, and the truth of it is unknown. Our sect’s decision not to interfere in worldly matters has nothing to do with the promise you mentioned."

"Today, I've stepped out, indicating that the Great Expansion Dao Gate has opened its doors wide. If your Void Immortal Sword Sect wants to look for trouble, then come at me."

"Daoist Xu, just take her down," urged the youth from the Innate Dao Gate. "There's no need to waste so much time."

The youth suddenly sneered, casting a glance at Fang Chen. "She's stalling for time."

"She's waiting for this person to wake up. I'm curious about how he'll turn the tide after he wakes up. Since she wants it this way, I'll fulfill her wish and see how long she can hold on."

With that, another strike of the Fighting Divine Whip came forth. Fairy Yu didn't even have time to react before she felt sudden, intense pain. Taking the hit, she was sent flying hundreds of feet away. However, worried about Fang Chen, she didn’t want to take the battle elsewhere. She endured the pain as she was hurled backward into the air.

The whip hit her one time after the other, leaving her exposed skin injured heavily. In the end, she couldn't even fly back and had to walk back step by step with a limp.

With each step, bits of flesh and blood were left on the ground, leaving bloody footprints in the mud.

Fairy Yu laughed weakly. "Is this all the skill the Great Expansion Dao Gate has?"

The young man's face darkened.

A nearly invisible whip suddenly pierced through Fairy Yu’s chest, lifting her high into the air. Her eyes showed confusion as vitality drained from her body, her limbs losing strength and drooping.

"Has a quarter of an hour passed?" She smiled faintly, trying hard to look toward Fang Chen. However, her vision had become blurry. "I... seem to be dying.... Fortunately... the lord will take care of my remains...."

Watching the motionless Fairy Yu, the Giant Immortal Sect's Zi Yun frowned slightly and said coldly, "You could have spared her and gotten a better reward."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not acting for the reward from the Heavenly King Zhen’s Manor," replied the young man coldly, chuckling.

He casually flung his hand, sending Fairy Yu flying through the air.

Just as she was about to crash heavily near Fang Chen, a pair of strong hands caught her.
