The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 2586: Chapter 2586: Heartache

This elder of the Tianji Trading House, named Chu Jin, is one of the most important members within the Tianji Trading House. His strength has also surpassed that of top-notch cultivators at the Peak Immortal Venerate Realm.

Wielding the Moshuang Double-headed Fork in his hand, he posed a huge threat to the ordinary Thunder Warriors. In a short amount of time, four or five ordinary Thunder Warriors had their control cores destroyed by Chu Jin, losing their combat capabilities. Meanwhile, he was also attacking the formation of Hongmeng City.

Xu Yiming let out an angry shout before rushing toward Chu Jin with several High-level Thunder Warriors. A powerhouse of Chu Jin’s caliber had too much destructive power; Xu Yiming’s critical task outside the city was to hunt down strong opponents like Chu Jin.

Chu Jin also noticed Xu Yiming, and he was, of course, familiar with him. Among many major powers within Kunling Heaven, all the important members had a deep understanding of Xu Yiming because Xu Yiming was one of the most renowned cultivators in Hongmeng City, a soul cultivator at the Peak Immortal Venerable Realm.

Under normal circumstances, absolutely no one would be willing to face a top-tier soul cultivator by themselves.

Therefore, when Chu Jin saw Xu Yiming charging at him, he immediately activated his Divine Power to dodge away.

"Trying to run? Can you get away?" Xu Yiming sneered.

"Buzz!" Although still far apart, Xu Yiming directly launched a Divine Soul Attack against Chu Jin.

Several High-level Thunder Warriors accelerated towards Chu Jin.

The power of Xu Yiming’s Divine Soul Attack was undeniably terrifying. Even though they were still some distance apart, Chu Jin was severely affected. When subjected to a Divine Soul Attack, he struggled to maintain balance in mid-air. His body could be seen wobbling in the air.

"Damn it! Xu Yiming’s Divine Soul Attack is actually this strong! The Divine Soul Magical Treasure in his hand must be of exceedingly high quality." Chu Jin tried hard to keep his mind clear.

In the Heavenly Domain, it’s exceedingly rare to encounter a soul cultivator of Xu Yiming’s level. Previously, Chu Jin had never directly engaged in combat with such level soul cultivators.

Under Xu Yiming’s Divine Soul Attack, it was unlikely he could escape smoothly. The High-level Thunder Warriors were very fast and already close to him at this moment.

"Come on! Let me see how strong these lifeless puppets really are." Chu Jin, being decisive, turned to face the High-level Thunder Warriors as he found himself unable to escape.

"Kill!" Xu Yiming ordered within his heart.

Ten High-level Thunder Warriors launched an attack on Chu Jin following a certain sequence. Thunder Warriors are very advanced puppets that can independently engage in combat. However, if a person with powerful Divine Soul Power controls the Thunder Warriors in real-time, it’s evident that the combat power of the Thunder Warriors can be unleashed to a greater extent. At this moment, Xu Yiming was controlling ten High-level Thunder Warriors to attack Chu Jin.

If Xu Yiming were not controlling them, Chu Jin might have been able to hold on for a while against the ten High-level Thunder Warriors. But with Xu Yiming present, dealing with even one High-level Thunder Warrior was not easy for him, let alone ten.

The situation on Chu Jin’s side was very dangerous, naturally catching the attention of the higher-ups in the Yama Palace Alliance Army, who quickly sent strong fighters to assist Chu Jin.

But...

Chu Jin couldn’t hold out until the top Immortal Venerables arrived. After the fourth High-level Thunder Warrior swung its long blade, his life was ended by this High-level Thunder Warrior. His Divine Soul Body, subjected to Xu Yiming’s Divine Soul Attack, couldn’t fully exert his strength to fend off the Thunder Warriors, and after continuous attacks, he finally couldn’t withstand the fourth blow.

"Damn it! Elder Chu Jin is dead!"

President Jiang Yue of the Tianji Trading House roared in anger.

If an ordinary Immortal Venerable died, Jiang Yue would also feel heartache but not too deeply. However, the death of a powerhouse like Chu Jin would impact the overall strength of the Tianji Trading House.

"That Xu Yiming is a soul cultivator and presents too great a threat!" Said Mingze Sect Master of the Eight Gods Pill Sect.

The strong fighters on the Eight Gods Pill Sect’s side were mostly hired at a high cost. The internal strong fighters of the Eight Gods Pill Sect took part in the battle very sparsely.

"This person always has High-level Thunder Warriors protecting him, and coupled with his being a soul cultivator with extraordinarily strong Divine Soul Power and perception, trying to assassinate him is nearly impossible," said Yu Hentian, staring at Xu Yiming, who was actively engaged at the edge of the city.

If the three Black-clothed Killing Stars from the Yama Palace were not killed by Jing Yan, perhaps they could be sent to attempt an assassination on Xu Yiming. Unfortunately, all three powerful Black-clothed Killing Stars of the Yama Palace perished at Jing Yan’s hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the five hundred soul cultivators and Thunder Warrior Army from Hongmeng City have caused us significant losses."

"What we need to do now is break through the Big Array of Hongmeng City as quickly as possible. The previous strike from the Taiyin Annihilation Spear almost rendered one-third of Hongmeng City’s formation inoperable. In the upcoming second strike, we’ll completely destroy their Guardian Array!" Yu Hentian shifted the conversation.

The energy consumed by the Emperor Weapon Taiyin Annihilation Spear had almost fully recovered by this time. Sensing this, Yu Hentian was ready to use the Taiyin Annihilation Spear for a second attack on Hongmeng City.

"Let’s begin!"

"Break down Hongmeng City!"

"Once we break their formation, our forces will enter the city. Those damned soul cultivators, with only a small portion at the Immortal Venerate Realm and most at the Immortal Rhythm Level, once we can get close to them, it won’t be hard to kill them," Sima Tianyang of the Sima Family said with a sinister look at the five hundred white-robed soul cultivators protected by the formation.

The soul cultivators have immensely high destructive power, and since they are currently protected by the formation, it is very difficult for the cultivators in the Yama Palace Alliance Army to harm the soul cultivators. However, once the Guardian Array is breached, and they get close to those soul cultivators, killing them becomes very easy.

The leaders once again crazily activated their Divine Power, infusing it into the Taiyin Annihilation Spear. The overwhelming shadows reappeared, with chilling killing intent eroding every living being within a million-mile radius.

"City Lord, that Emperor Weapon seems to be preparing another attack," observed Chief Bai Han, standing beside Jing Yan and looking at Yu Hentian and the rest with the Taiyin Annihilation Spear.

"Hmm! Our formation in Hongmeng City can probably withstand one more such level of energy attack," Jing Yan also gazed at the Taiyin Annihilation Spear.

"City Lord, if our city’s Big Array is breached, then the Yama Palace Alliance Army can immediately enter the city and engage us in close combat. Should we consider pulling back the soul cultivator unit?" Bai Han asked, looking at Jing Yan.

The close combat ability of soul cultivators is relatively weak. Among the five hundred soul cultivators, only a little more than ten percent are at the Immortal Venerative Realm, while the rest are at the Immortal Rhythm Level. If they get close, even a decently powerful Immortal Venerable from the enemy could wipe out many soul cultivators of Hongmeng City.
