Chapter 19

Gan Dong City.

Outside the small courtyard.

It was already surrounded airtight by the Po Feng Army.

No one was allowed in or out.

One-Sword Instant Kill Baili Chengfeng personally led troops stationed outside the courtyard, blocking any possible attackers.

Faced with the encirclement of the army.

Even the White-Haired Immortal Mo Qixuan and the Purple-Clad Marquis Zi Yu Ji could not enter.

But just then!

Dark clouds blotted out the sun, pressing down as if to crush the city.

Gale winds swept up a sky full of gravel.

Blinding everyone's eyes, leaving only the sight of thunder flashing and raging across the nine heavens above.

This scene was like divine punishment.

It made people's legs tremble.

Only the elite Po Feng Army held their posts, vigilant against any incoming enemy.

But no one expected.

The enemy would come from the sky!

"All that has form is illusion."

Above the horizon.

Two eerie male voices rang out across Gan Dong City, their terrifying inner force sharpening the sound to a piercing edge.

As if it could stab through human ears.

The next moment, a tall, bizarre man like a Green-faced Yama descended from the sky, surrounded by ghostly flames.

He struck down with a palm.

The terrifying palm force sank the ground three inches deep.

Revealing a massive handprint.

The Po Feng Army soldiers caught within were all crushed to death! With a single strike, over a hundred suits of armor were broken!

"Lawless."

"Unrestrained!"

A fearsome aura crashed to the ground, stirring up surging demonic energy.

All the Po Feng Army around.

Were flung away, leaving a patch of empty ground!

And the newcomers finally revealed their true faces.

Demon energy stained their bodies.

Evil aura soared to the heavens.

They were from Beyond Heaven—the Four Great Envoys of the Demonic Cult: Lawless and Unrestrained!

"So strong!"

Baili Chengfeng frowned deeply. These two men.

Were undoubtedly the strongest experts he had ever seen in his life. Even their overwhelming demonic flames alone inspired fear!

"The Po Feng Army is nothing special."

The bizarre man like a Green-faced Yama stood with his hands behind his back.

After speaking.

His figure flickered in an instant.

Thunder seemed to crackle around him.

He struck out with a palm. One-Sword Instant Kill Baili Chengfeng, caught off guard, hastily countered with a palm of his own.

And was sent flying back, spitting blood!

"Baili Chengfeng is nothing special either."

When one's strength reached the realm of Lawless and Unrestrained, ordinary mortals meant nothing to them.

Only top-tier experts.

Could match them!

"Father!"

Just as Baili Chengfeng was sent flying backward.

A figure dashed out from behind.

It was Baili Dongjun, arriving from Marquis Zhenxi's Manor.

Baili Dongjun used his lightness skill, trying to catch Baili Chengfeng, but the force of a palm strike from Lawless and Unrestrained—how could an ordinary person withstand it?

The moment he made contact.

He felt a tremendous power clash against him.

In an instant, Baili Dongjun was also sent flying!

Fortunately, Young Master Zhuo Mo, Lei Mengsha, had come along as well and caught the tumbling Baili Chengfeng.

But beneath his feet, a trail dozens of zhang long was left behind.

The ground was utterly destroyed!

And this was merely a casual palm strike from Lawless and Unrestrained!

"You think you can stop us from taking Confucian Immortal Gu Chen? Utter delusion."

"Heh."

"Purple-Robed Marquis, keep these people entertained."

Lawless and Unrestrained had important matters at hand. Their main purpose in coming to Gan Dong City was to take Confucian Immortal Gu Chen.

To obtain the Art of Medicine People.

In pursuit of the ambition to restore Northern Que.

Moreover, being in Gan Dong City, surrounded by a full three hundred thousand Po Feng Army—once they completely closed in, even Lawless and Unrestrained would die here.

After all, even the combined efforts of Ruxian and Jianxian.

Could only break through nine thousand Po Feng soldiers, and Li Changsheng himself admitted he couldn't withstand a force of ten thousand.

So they had to take Confucian Immortal Gu Chen immediately.

Lawless and Unrestrained flew straight toward the small courtyard. Baili Chengfeng wanted to chase after them, but that one palm strike had already gravely wounded him.

With a sudden burst of force, his injuries flared up.

He had lost all combat capability.

"Father, are you alright?" Baili Dongjun had been sent flying, but as a natural Martial Vein, he wasn't seriously hurt.

Baili Chengfeng stared at the spot where Lawless and Unrestrained had vanished.

His eyes were full of wariness.

These two were truly too strong! Far too strong!

Definitely not ordinary Carefree Heaven Realm!

They had likely both entered the Great Carefree realm, their strength overwhelmingly formidable!

"I'm fine, but you must not—"

Baili Chengfeng steadied himself, about to warn Baili Dongjun that those two were so powerful that touching them meant death, and he absolutely couldn't go near them.

Then he saw Baili Dongjun rush toward the small courtyard like the wind.

Lei Mengsha followed after him.

"This... sigh!"

A trace of helplessness flashed through Baili Chengfeng's heart, and he could only give the order: "Muster all Po Feng Army!"

"Blockade the entire Gan Dong City!"

"I want these two... to never return!"

Even Li Changsheng, Number One Under Heaven, wouldn't dare claim he could survive among ten thousand Po Feng soldiers!

Otherwise.

Marquis Zhenxi's Manor wouldn't be so feared by Emperor Tai An!

Inside the small courtyard, Lawless and Unrestrained broke through the thick fog.

Charging straight into the courtyard.

A surging demonic aura tainted the entire yard, causing even the falling petals to wither.

"The Art of Medicine People must belong to Beyond Heaven."

"Confucian Immortal Gu Chen, will you come with us willingly, or shall we take you by force?"

Lawless and Unrestrained spoke arrogantly.

If this were the Confucian Immortal at his peak, they'd need to be cautious. But the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen of today—how much strength could he still unleash?

How could he possibly be a match for the two of them combined?

"This demonic aura..."

Xiao Ruo Feng's pupils contracted. Just this demonic aura alone made his heart tremble.

Let alone the true form of this aura's owner.

The pair, Lawless and Unrestrained!

Only on this journey did Xiao Ruo Feng realize how vast the world was—and how truly powerful the strong could be!

"Beyond Heaven?" Confucian Immortal Gu Chen still stood with his hands behind his back.

He said with a faint smile, "What a pity. I'm afraid you won't be taking me away today."

Not to mention that Gu Chen himself had a life-or-death move that could briefly restore his peak cultivation—Lawless and Unrestrained would be no match.

Even if Gu Chen had no power at all today.

Lawless and Unrestrained still couldn't take them away, because... Jiang Mu Ming was here!

This was the peerless prodigy who had broken into the Profound Spirit Realm at the age of fifteen!

Moreover, Southern Jue's First Sword Immortal, Yu Sheng Mo, was also here. Lawless and Unrestrained couldn't possibly defeat her either.

So... in this place, those stronger than Lawless and Unrestrained.

Numbered a full two and a half!

"Hmph! Bluffing!" Lawless and Unrestrained refused to believe that Confucian Immortal Gu Chen could still restore his peak cultivation.

But the next moment, both of them couldn't help stepping back.

Because they saw someone—a woman holding an umbrella, standing still!

"Yu Sheng Mo?!"

"Why are you here?!"

Lawless and Unrestrained couldn't believe it. Why would Southern Jue's First Sword Immortal, Yu Sheng Mo, be in Confucian Immortal Gu Chen's small courtyard?

"Could it be... you've come to aid the Confucian Immortal?"

"But we've never heard of any connection between the two of you!"

Yu Sheng Mo shouldn't be here at all!

And beneath the tree, the woman holding the umbrella merely cast a cold glance at Lawless and Unrestrained.

Then turned her back.

She said, "I never speak with the dead. The one aiding the Confucian Immortal today is this young man reading a book."

Amid falling petals and flowing water.

Jiang Mu Ming, holding a scroll, rose calmly.

"Two honored envoys, long time no see."
