Chapter 2969 - Assassination Operation (2/2)
When Jian Chen arrived at one of the great elder’s cultivation grounds under the sixth elder’s directions, he was stopped by a middle-aged Godking.
“I have something extremely important to report to the great elder. This matter is extremely urgent. I cannot allow for any delays,” Jian Chen said with the sixth elder’s tone. He appeared to be in a great hurry.
“This…” The middle-aged man outside was troubled.
“Dear disciple, bring the sixth elder in!”
At this moment, an old voice rang out from inside. The great elder had personally spoken.
“Sixth elder, please come in with me,” the middle-aged man immediately led Jian Chen inside. They entered a secret room in the end.
The secret room was clearly a place for refining pills. Flames surged out of the earth, and the entire room was extremely hot. In the centre of the room sat an old man in black clothes, with a huge pill cauldron before him. He concentrated on refining pills.
“Sixth elder, what do you have to report?” the great elder in front of the pill cauldron said. His eyes were glued to the pill cauldron, placing all of his focus on it, such that his guard was as low as possible.
Seeing this, Jian Chen immediately gave up on the plan to use the Profound Sword Qi. In the next moment, the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways silently appeared in his hand and erupted with blinding light, immediately slashing towards the great elder’s head.
Everything had happened far too suddenly, and the great elder was concentrating on refining the pills too. He never expected the sixth elder before him to be someone else in disguise, let alone the fact that he would face an assassination attempt in the centre of the Moon God Hall.
The great elder’s face changed drastically. He no longer cared about the cauldron before him, lowering his head as fast as possible to dodge the lethal slash that could directly tear apart his soul.
However, Jian Chen’s slash was far too fast. When he slashed out, he even used the Laws of Space, such that the attack was like a bolt of lightning.
Coupled with how the element of surprise was on his side, the great elder was unable to dodge the lethal attack even when he unleashed everything that was within him.
Spurt!
The Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways conjured a cloud of illusionary stars and directly slashed through the great elder’s head.
With that, the great elder’s fate was set. His soul was destroyed under the powerful sword Qi.
As for his disciple, Jian Chen obviously had no plans on letting him leave here alive. He followed the footsteps of the great elder very quickly.
“There’s just one left now.” Having saved a strand of Profound Sword Qi, it was a great boost to Jian Chen’s confidence. He did not linger for a moment longer, immediately heading off to the last place.
Soon afterwards, the last great elder present in the divine hall had been easily slain by Jian Chen after using a strand of Profound Sword Qi.
Even though he was a Second Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime and his soul was stronger than Hong Moqing’s, there was no qualitative difference, so he was virtually incapacitated after withstanding a strand of Profound Sword Qi.
“My Profound Sword Qi should be able to heavily injure the souls of Third Heavenly Layer Chaotic Primes now, such that they’ll momentarily be incapacitated. As for the Fourth Heavenly Layer, I can heavily wound them too, but they’ll recover very quickly. The influence they face will be limited,” Jian Chen thought. His Profound Sword Qi could not be blocked through usual means, so it posed a threat to all Chaotic Primes. They were just more resistant to it when they were stronger.
