Chapter 363: Night Raid
A full moon was out tonight, peaking through the black clouds.
Bu Liuhen turned to the three behind, “How much longer?”
A Celestial Immortal said, “Sir Blade, one hour.”
“When the moment comes, ignore everything and strike. This is my first task and I won’t suffer any slip-ups.”
The hour trickled by painfully slow. Bu Liuhen put on a magic tool mask that blocked awareness as well as the hundred Earth Immortals and three Celestial Immortals dressed in black robes.
Under the cover of night, Bu Liuhen spoke, “Now we can begin. The area assigned to us has one Celestial Immortal. I will deal with him while you handle the rest. Leave none standing!”
He stepped on air and it took him right next to a pavilion. He had surveyed the terrain many times and was now about to enter the building through the window. His target was meditating but easily sensed the powerful energy waves around him.
He flashed his eyes open to see Bu Liuhen standing at the window in a strange mask, the wind fluttering his cloak.
The Celestial Immortal wasn’t a core member. He was one who relied on Jade Lake’s help to reach this far, “Who are you? Do you have any idea where you are? Jade Lake isn’t someone you can mess with!”
Bu Liuhen laughed as his foot touched the windowsill. He had long become used to these tasks.
“Your killer!”
Fear gripped the Celestial Immortal’s heart. An immortal sword landed in his hand and powered it with his immortal power. A booming sound coming from his swordforce rattled the whole building like a box of matches.
Bu Liuhen was blunt, “The Wind Severing Sword while also using a sword soul. This might be interesting. But you are in the light while I walk among shadows. Killing you needs but a moment!”
The Celestial Immortal grew angry, “All are beneath the Wind Severing Sword. The lofty mountains, the overflowing rivers, the surging seas, even the vast sky, all are inferior. Kill!”
Bu Liuhen’s step formed an azure dragon under him.
It soared along with him, taking him three zhangs away where he began to walk to his target. His every step was akin to a monster drifting about. The Eight Dragon-ascending Steps allowed walking through the Galaxy so of course it could tread the earth!
The Celestial Immortal’s eyes flashed in shock, “You’re Bu Liuhen! Damn!”
He just spoke when a voice came from behind, “You’re too late in figuring out!”
He turned just in time to witness the last step of Eight Dragon-ascending Steps hammering his body.
The strike left him coughing, his mind dithering, yet glimpses of another kick seared his eyes.
The Celestial Immortal recovered only at the third strike, spitting blood once again.
He wanted to call back his flying sword but then sensed Bu Liuhen wasn’t finished.
As the five blows rattled his body, eyes began to darken, knees soften, and was already kneeling before his enemy. Blood kept pouring out from his head, dripping on the floor like rain.
Bu Liuhen lifted his leg and pressed down the Celestial Immortal’s neck into the ground, breaking it with a twist.
“Eight steps can scale a dragon and can also kill a man.”
He stooped and crushed his target’s skull with a punch.
Normal means didn’t kill an immortal, but destroying the head did him in.
Hid hand and legs smeared in blood, Bu Liuhen looked out the window to see the camp in flames, wails breaking the silence of the night.
An immortal battle would rend the ground and crumble a continent. If this place wasn’t the Devil Gate and just an ordinary star, the continent would’ve been rumble by now.
Bu Liuhen said, “Spare no one!”
His forces reaped through the camp leaving only carnage.
Silence set in after two dreadful hours. Bu Liuhen walked among his men with hands behind his back, “Burn it all and take everything!”
The men bowed. “Understood!”
Meanwhile, in the Jade Lake garrison’s territory, two masked Celestial Immortals led a group of masked Earth Immortals towards a city gate.
The Celestial Immortal said, “Open the gate!”
The city guard replied, “It’s dark and we do not open at this time!”
The two Celestial Immortals swiveled their eyes on him, the pressure from their aura creaking the gate open. One of them said, “Kill!”
The Earth Immortals flew over the city gate and started their massacre on the Earth Immortal and Transcending realm cultivators there. A cup of tea time was enough to lay the city to ruin.
Since when could an Earth Immortal fight off a group in the same realm?
The two Celestial Immortals once went to the Red Sleeve Tavern here. One said, “Jade Lake has a Red Sleeve Tavern in many cities yet change location based on the period. This one shall find its end here!”
The other one smiled, “Then let’s kill our way out. Leave none alive!”
“What if the city lord comes? He’s a Celestial Immortal.”
“Let him come if he wants to die. No one can stop this! Sir’s order can’t be denied. We need to complete that enigmatic persona’s mission! Moreover, this is his first task. Our only choice is to bring it to fruition.”
The tavern blew open the next second yet no city lord in sight. The two Celestial Immortals came here and wrecked the place. That was too ruthless. He didn’t want to die and chose to ignore Bu Liuhen’s slaughter.
The fire engulfed half the city, like a pool of lava. Only now did the city lord showed his face.
He saw the city scattered and filled with craters and seemed to have sensed something, “The Devil Gate is about to open. War has arrived. Pass down my order. We are leaving Devil Gate Star. We can no longer stay here.”
After a long night of bloodshed, Jade Lake pulled out all its forces from the Devil Gate Star, letting the lava and flames spread further and further.
Everyone was aware that disaster was imminent.
Uh, wrong, it was already here.
