Chapter 1027: We're Going to Be Beaten to Death

Outside the city.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu stared at the scene before them, their minds suddenly tensing.

"Something's wrong."

The soldiers of the enemy army before them exuded a strange aura, one that should not appear on mortals. Even in the void, the aura emanating from these soldiers coalesced into a murderous demon god.

Feng Yanyun looked at the scene, his heart tightening, then turned to the two. "How can the soldiers of Yue have such a powerful aura?"

"Be careful. There's something wrong here," Qiu Zhanyu said warily.

Deep within the Yue army, he sensed two powerful auras, and they were familiar—he had fought them before.

In the end, he had relied on an inescapable net to drive them back.

"Haha..." At that moment, a wild laugh rang out from within the Yue army.

Two figures floated in the void, staring intently at Qiu Zhanyu and the others.

"Qiu Zhanyu, Jinzhengu, come out and die!" A violent roar burst forth, its vast power shaking heaven and earth.

The force of the sound waves even sent a residual shock directly toward the soldiers of Maple Forest City.

Qiu Zhanyu stepped forward, spreading his palm, and dispersed the residual force. "I didn't expect it to be you two."

"Naturally. It's been months since our last battle. Today, my senior and junior brothers will test your strength," Luo Li laughed wildly.

Qiu Zhanyu and Jinzhengu stepped forward, standing in midair, then exchanged quiet words. "Be careful. These two are no match for us. If they dare come this time, they must have some backing."

"Hmph! As long as we two brothers are here, your Yue invasion of Maple Forest City will never succeed!" Jinzhengu roared.

"Is that so?" Luo Li chuckled lightly, then turned his gaze to Feng Yanyun in the distance. "The ruler of Maple Forest City is indeed impressive. Taking him back as a furnace would be more than enough, haha."

His sinister laughter rang out incessantly, then he flicked his sleeve. "Attack."

The Yue army, as if empowered by some mysterious aura, roared repeatedly, surging forward like humanoid beasts.

Swish!

"You're asking for death."

"Heavenly Net and Earthly Snare."

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom roared, their bodies surging with power as the Heavenly Net and Earthly Snare floated in the void, instantly blotting out the sky and covering all of Yue's armies.

Such was the might of a supreme-grade immortal artifact.

The two had reached the Great Perfection of the True Immortal realm, and the artifact's power naturally surged as well.

Though they could not fully unleash it, even this level of power was beyond what Luo Li and his fellow disciple could withstand.

"Haha, did you think we had no backup?" Luo Li laughed, then shouted into the void, "Ancestor Ming Sha, please make your move."

At that moment, Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom were greatly alarmed.

"Excellent, truly a supreme-grade immortal artifact. In their hands, it is but a tarnished treasure. Only in my hands, Ancestor Ming Sha, can its true power be unleashed." A chilling aura filled the entire void.

An old man, riding a dragon formed of baleful energy, surged forth and appeared in the void.

"Ancestor Ming Sha." Autumn Slash Fish and the other turned pale at the sight of the old man.

This ancestor was renowned, a Golden Immortal powerhouse.

Autumn Slash Fish and the other had not expected this; Luo Li and his fellow had actually invited such a terrifying existence.

Now, not only were Autumn Slash Fish and the other stunned, but even Feng Yanyun showed terror, and the old man who had been guarding her was drenched in sweat.

"Ancestor Ming Sha is a Golden Immortal. Why would he meddle in mortal affairs?" the old man said in terror.

"This supreme-grade immortal artifact belongs to me now." Ancestor Ming Sha laughed, his five fingers spread, and Golden Immortal laws swept forth.

This was a supreme-grade immortal artifact, extraordinary.

If the two had reached the Mystic Immortal realm, even he might have found them troublesome.

But now it was different; they were only True Immortals. Trying to protect this artifact was a pipe dream.

"Haha, your time is up." Luo Li laughed, charging straight at Autumn Slash Fish and the other.

...

At that moment, in the secret chamber.

It had sunk deep into the abyss underground.

A bed lay there, so conspicuous, and on it a figure lay motionless, like a living corpse.

But just then, the motionless figure suddenly opened its eyes and burst out with a curse.

"Damn it, that Future Immeasurable King Buddha is too insidious. Just a single divine thought trapped me for so long." Lin Fan cursed loudly, but the gains made him quite happy.

After suppressing the divine thought of the Future Immeasurable King Buddha, he had obtained considerable experience.

But suddenly, Lin Fan froze. He realized something was off about his surroundings.

"Where the hell am I? Why is it so pitch black?" Lin Fan was startled, then he gathered his magical power to illuminate the area.

When he saw his surroundings, Lin Fan was dumbfounded.

Rock walls, an abyss. Looking up, there seemed to be some kind of mechanism above.

Boom!

The earth shook, and a figure shot straight up from underground.

"What kind of place is this? Where did those two lackeys go? They actually left their big brother underground. Do they really think I'm dead?" Lin Fan cursed inwardly. This was just embarrassing.

Then he looked around.

The place was unfamiliar; he had no idea where he was.

Then he floated in the void, taking in everything around him. He was filled with confusion—how had he ended up in a city?

"Eh?"

At that moment, Lin Fan sensed fluctuations of magical power ahead. He wondered what was happening.

When he stepped forward, he saw a figure racing across the ground.

Lin Fan landed directly and grabbed him. "Hey, where is this place?"

The running man saw Lin Fan and was startled. "This is Maple Forest City. There's a war outside, and it looks like we're losing. Run quickly."

"Maple Forest City?"

Where was that?

Lin Fan was a bit confused. Where had Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom gone?

Could it be that they found him too troublesome and just dumped him?

But looking at his clothes, they were very clean, as if recently cleaned. It seemed someone had taken care of him.

"Forget it, I'll worry about that later. Let's go see what's happening." Lin Fan directly vanished into the void and headed toward the place where the commotion was coming from.

If Lin Fan knew that the Future Immeasurable King Buddha had trapped him for three years, he would definitely curse the thing to death.

On the battlefield.

Bang!

Bang!

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom's figures, like cannonballs, were deeply embedded in the ground.

"Haha, without top-grade immortal artifacts, you're just ants." The two brothers Luo Li laughed wildly, then opened their mouths wide and sucked all the formed Five Qi around them into their bellies.

Autumn Slash Fish and Golden Needle Mushroom struggled to stand up, spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked toward the void.

The top-grade immortal artifact was being restrained by the Nether Fiend Ancestor and would not obey their commands.

Maple Yan Yun watched the scene before her, a trace of despair in her eyes. It was over, everything was over.

And just then, a voice suddenly came from the void.

"You two, why did you bury me underground?"

Hearing this voice, Autumn Slash Fish's pale face lit up with joy. He shouted directly, "Big brother, you're awake! Come save us! We're about to be beaten to death!"

"Who's so bold as to dare hit my lackeys?" Lin Fan was furious. This was a total disrespect.

And Maple Yan Yun, who had been in despair, suddenly looked toward the void, a puzzled expression on her face.

"Another ant from who knows where. Simp—" Luo Li looked up and roared, but before he could finish, a giant palm came rushing from the void.

"Courting death." Lin Fan snorted coldly.

Bang!

It exploded.

Luo Li instantly turned into a pool of blood, dead beyond dead.

From start to finish, he didn't even have a chance to react.

And at that moment, Maple Yan Yun was dumbfounded.
