Chapter 462: Immortals of the Continent (II)
Four sets of immortal energy clashed together for the first time. It caused an awesome explosion of spiritual energy that swept over the sect and the surrounding forest. The two flaming bandit twins targeted the old and wounded sect master. The auction agent tried his best to protect his ally, shielding them both in thick layers of fog that replenished itself over and over after being destroyed. The four Spirit Lord Realm cultivators gave it everything they had and nobody had any thoughts of retreat.
The disciples and bandits below collectively stopped fighting just to see their lords giving everything they had. A silent truce swept over those who had been killing each other just seconds before. They all stood in stunned silence, heads raised towards the sky. Some even experienced minute breakthroughs or moments of enlightenment for simply observing such a rare battle.
If they were impressed by a brawl between four immortals, they were even more flabbergasted a few moments later by the arrival of another immortal aura. A fifth Spirit Lord joined the fray and it was none other than Chen Wentian!
What is going on here? His voice boomed like thunder.
His figure streaked down from the heavens like a fiery blue meteor, coming to a stop above the four Spirit Lords who broke apart upon his arrival. Both sides looked towards him warily, unsure which side he was on.
Chen Wentian ignored the two ugly bandits and clasped his fists together in the direction of Xu Kaicheng, May I ask, given your distinctive attire, are you a member of the Golden Basin Auction House?
Xu Kaicheng frowned, I am, who is asking?
Hahaha! Well met, well met. I am Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian! Chen Wentian held up his identity badge from the Virtuous Order, As well as an acolyte of the Virtuous Order. I have long heard of the Golden Basins great name and know that a member of the Golden Basin is a friend of the Order! Do you need any assistance?
What doubt Xu Kaicheng had disappeared. Each identity badge of the Virtuous Order was unique and he had seen a countless number of them in the past. Keyed to each persons spiritual energy signature, they couldnt be forged and they couldnt be used by others. He didnt know why Chen Wentian arrived here at an opportune time and he didnt bother to think about it. There were more pressing matters to take care of.
Brother Chen, I am Immortal Soaring Mist Xu Kaicheng of the Golden Basin Auction House. Please help me chase away these two fiery bandit lords. The Golden Basin will owe you a great favor!
Alright! Chen Wentian said and blasted off towards the two bandit twins.
Brilliant blue flames gathered in his fist and he launched an opening salvo of fireballs.
Immortal Red Dusk Wang Yipo spat out a puff of red flame, Impudent! Where did this skinny fire-lizard come from?
He launched a crimson fireball in response which careened into Chen Wentians attack.
Shaaa!
Flame collided into flame, screaming, roiling, igniting the space between them in a sea of destruction. Red mixed with blue and there was momentary equilibrium before the red side quickly gained the advantage.
Chen Wentians flames were rapidly consumed and he was forced to retreat.
Hahaha! Thats how you teach a trashy flame cultivator a lesson! Wang Yipo roared.
Thats right! Among all the Spirit Lords who utilize flames in the Martial Brilliance Continent, our flame Dao ranks at the top! Taste this! The other twin shouted.
Immortal Red Dawn Wang Yibo closed with Chen Wentian in a blur of motion and struck with a flaming kick. Chen Wentian crossed his arms together and summoned a wall of blue flame.
Shuuu!
The result of the exchange was a streak of blue flame that was kicked away fifty meters.
The twins joined together and bellowed with laughter. Their spiritual energies surged in preparation for a joint attack, the temperature of their flames rising to an unbelievable level.
Chen Wentian was hardly fighting seriously but he still had to admit that these two bandits were quite skilled. Immortals of the continent couldnt be compared to those from the subcontinents. Their flame far surpassed ordinary immortal flames. Even someone like Immortal Divine Blaze Fen Jue of Divine Blazing Mountain would have stood no chance. This crimson flame was far too profound and carried tremendous destructive power.
He had no desire to show off the divine might of his blue dragon flames but not doing so meant that he had little chance to kill these two bandits. Even if he was forced to, he wouldnt be able to do it with casual blue dragon flames. He would probably have to employ the divine Dao of the Flames of the Arcadian Sky and reveal the full scope of his divine legacy, something that was an impossible ask in the current situation.
Before the two bandits could launch another attack, Chen Wentians dilemma was solved when Xu Kaicheng and Luo Ye flew up beside him.
Little Brother Chen, how about you protect Old Luo here. With you beside him, I will be able to properly fight. Ill take care of these two criminals in an instant! Xu Kaicheng said with a confident smile.
Chen Wentian glanced at Luo Ye who nodded.
Okay, Brother Xu! Leave Elder Luo to me! Chen Wentian replied.
Good! Xu Kaicheng said and faced the twins.
Seeing this, the two bandits erupted in laughter once again, clearly not believing that he could do any better than Chen Wentian.
Unfortunately for them, just like how Wang Yipo and Wang Yibo were exceptional cultivators compared to those in the subcontinents, the same could be said for Xu Kaicheng but to a far greater degree. He wasnt some criminal constantly fighting for his life, he was an eminent auction agent of the most influential auction house on the continent. There was no chance that he was weak!
You bastards will regret laughing at me. Xu Kaicheng said as several items flashed into existence from a hidden spatial bag.
The first was a set of silvery-white armor that covered him from head to toe, transforming him into something akin to a horned beetle. Chen Wentian could feel the immortal power radiate off of each piece. It was a whole set of Spirit Lord armor and it was tremendously expensive. While Chen Wentians Golden Serpent Robe utilized a resident immortal soul, a normal set of armor was simply constructed of immortal materials. Comparing the material cost of an immortal weapon versus a full set of immortal armor, the latter was at least ten times more.
Next, a glowing white pill appeared in Xu Kaichengs hand which quickly disappeared into his mouth. After a few moments, his spiritual aura shook violently and then rapidly expanded. With just a single pill, his power was at least ten percent greater than before.
Power-boosting pills existed in the mortal realm. They were relatively simple and offered great benefits. An immortal power-boosting pill was the same in theory but refining such a miracle pill was far more difficult. The pill had to be attuned to the recipients Dao so each pill usually had to be a custom creation. This was why immortals with supportive auras were so powerful and prized because power-boosting pills were simply too rare and expensive.
To finish off his wild display of wealth, another immortal sword joined his first one. Both were impressive, equal to Chen Wentians Purple Jade Sword or Insightful Swallow Saber, perhaps even a little better.
Now, lets dance! Xu Kaicheng shouted.
