Chapter 493: Azure Sky Starfire!

In the afternoon, Yun Xiao continued to ponder over his self-created sword techniques, while Lian Xi, lazy as a kitten, nestled in his arms for a rest.

Suddenly, a thunderclap shook the heavens and roused all the Yin-Yang Immortals stationed near the Immortal Asylum!

Yun Xiao was near the Immortal Asylum too. Hearing the sound, he looked up to see a figure in black and gold appearing above the firmament of the Immortal Asylum.

"Yun Xiao! Lian Xi! The Heavenly Immortal commands you two to appear at once!"

That voice, stern and solemn, fell like a torrent of swords.

"The Human Zenith Immortal?" Yun Xiao stood up, a frost rising in his eyes.

Before he could move, Dean Yu appeared nearby and advised, "Ignore him. It's better to wait until Arbiter Lu comes back. Who knows what they're up to?"

"Mhm." Lian Xi quickly released Yun Xiao's hand, her cheeks flushing. "Wow, Master. You really arrived quickly."

"Yes," Dean Yu said with a squint and a smile, suddenly reflecting, "I suppose my little disciple is all grown up now."

"Ah!" Lian Xi's face turned peach-red. Wishing she could vanish into the earth, she could only turn and glare at Yun Xiao, her mind in turmoil, "It’s all your fault for choosing such a place, with the elders nearby..."

Just then, losing his patience, the Human Zenith Immortal declared coldly, "By daring to slay a True Immortal of the Celestial Court, you've violated the celestial law. Whether in heaven or earth, you only face a dead end. Come out and confess, and you might suffer less. If you keep hiding, then I'll set the Nine Hells ablaze, and let all beings pay with their lives first!"

Hearing this, Yun Xiao knew that such a merciless enemy was his undoing.

Yun Xiao, though often greedy and foolish, still had his limits. But these so-called True Immortals of the Celestial Court, who descended only to devour the lives of countless beings... they had no limits!

Those without limits, in a sense, were invincible!

"Lil Xi, rest here for now. I’ll go up and handle this," Yun Xiao said gravely.

"But it’s not yet time for the final battle." Lian Xi shook her head.

"I know, so I'll figure out a way, don't worry!" Yun Xiao said, then turned to Dean Yu, "She's a bit exhausted. Please look after her for me."

"Are you going up there alone?" Dean Yu asked with concern.

"Alone? Not really." Yun Xiao smiled faintly, shared a final glance with Dean Yu and Lian Xi, and then turned and disappeared into the forest. He did not ascend directly! It seemed he was off to seek someone.

"Does he have other powerful allies?" Dean Yu asked.

Lian Xi thought of that war princess and pouted, "It seems so."

"Hmm... now we can only hope he manages to delay until Arbiter Lu returns," Dean Yu said with a worried expression.

"Master, you can also count on me," Lian Xi said, biting her lip.

"You? Have you grown weaker?" Dean Yu asked, concerned.

Lian Xi spoke with full confidence, "This is the lowest point in my life, crossing the barrier before me, I will..."

Before she could finish, a sword light suddenly shot up into the sky nearby, drawing away Dean Yu's attention.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

"What an attitude! Asking me to come die in person, I thought she was right behind you," Yun Xiao said.

The Human Zenith Immortal scoffed, "What are you that the Heavenly Immortal should move for you?"

"I see." Yun Xiao laughed dryly, nodding, "Alright, I'll go up and meet this peerless Heavenly Immortal."

"You finally know fear," the Human Zenith Immortal said with a shrug, turning to soar into the sky on his Sovereign Sword, his voice cold, "Follow, and stop dawdling!"

However, Yun Xiao remained suspended in place, unmoving.

The Human Zenith Immortal had not gone far when he coldly looked back, "Are you playing games with me?"

"I'm not playing games," Yun Xiao replied, his gaze chillingly calm, "I will meet her, but I don't need a bug like you to lead the way. I've already slain your two brothers, and you too are an eyesore to me."

"What do you mean?" the Human Zenith Immortal's face twisted in anger.

"It means you are dead!" As soon as Yun Xiao finished speaking, the six-foot Sovereign Sword under his feet instantly transformed into a three-inch Flying Sword, which he grasped in his hand.

His eyes locked onto the Human Zenith Immortal with a frosty glare as the Flying Sword burst forth in a deadly strike!

This Flying Sword, imbued with the illusions and demon magic of 11 Dreamsea Abalones, whistled across the sky.

BOOM! The path of the sword blazed a brilliant azure starry river across the heavens!

It was dazzling!

So dazzling it seemed like an illusion!

Yun Xiao had once used Starry Night within the Immortal Asylum, and that strike was dazzling too, but this one was completely different. The former was a mass slaughter, but today's strike split the heavens with a single slash!

Humming intensely, the starry river surged, its brilliance obscuring the sky!

Yet, this was only a part of the sword's power.

Its true mastery lay in its manipulation of space. As the Flying Sword streaked through this starry river, it continuously wove through the void and reality, stirring a spatial storm that condensed the starry river, like a tearing starfire, instantly engulfing the Human Zenith Immortal!

Yun Xiao had named this sword technique Azure Sky Starfire! It was also a grand fusion of Flying Sword techniques, its foundation derived from Ling Chen's Divine Sky Sword Arts!

This sword appeared out of nowhere, instantly dazzling the heavens and earth!

Many exclaimed in awe! And the Human Zenith Immortal, a lifelong swordsman, saw his faith in his sword collapse in that instant!

"What the hell?" The Human Zenith Immortal fiercely gripped his sword, attempting a strike, but under the absolute supremacy of the Azure Sky Starfire, he was instantly devoured!

WHOOSH! The ripping space twisted past, the starry river bursting with light!

After the storm, above the vast sky, only a suspended skeleton remained, still wearing a look of bewilderment.

"How dull!" Yun Xiao did not even bother to absorb the Sword Soul of the Human Zenith Immortal, instead lifting his gaze to the heavens, "I hope you're more challenging."
