Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 293: Chapter 265: The Old Ancestor Has Been Captured

WHOOSH~

Confirming the Jade Pendant was among them, he didn’t bother checking the other items.

With a single thought, he stored them inside the Yellow Gourd. When he looked up again, Xuan Peng had also finished its battle. The Soul-devouring Tiger lay paralyzed on the ground, its flesh torn and mangled. It was barely breathing, surrounded by scattered feathers and blood.

"Go!"

Grabbing Wu Ming by the scruff of his neck, Chen Che stepped onto Xuan Peng’s back.

Under his Divine Sense, several powerful auras were frantically rushing over.

Little Chick didn’t forget to collect the spoils of war. It snatched up the Black Crow and the Soul-devouring Tiger, and with a great flap of its wings, it soared into the sky on a gust of wind.

"He’s carrying the Patriarch!"

"This is bad, he’s taking the Patriarch... Quick, stop him!"

"Let the Patriarch go!"

This place wasn’t far from the Wu Family estate, and the earlier commotion had long since alerted many Cultivators.

As the crowd arrived and saw their Patriarch captured, a chill ran down their spines.

Panic and fury gave way to a constant stream of furious roars.

Some, roaring in anger, even rode the howling winds to charge forward. In an instant, a hundred or so figures appeared, some on Sword Control, some flying through the air, and others on Magical Artifacts. They converged from all directions like a wolf pack hunting on the plains.

"Get lost!"

Glancing out of the corner of his eye, Chen Che infused his voice with True Essence and let out a thundering shout.

BOOM!

The sound was like a clap of thunder or a volley of cannons, booming for several miles in every direction.

Instantly, the charging Cultivators felt their ears ring and their heads spin, leaving them stunned and disoriented. The weaker ones had their minds thrown into turmoil and their True Essence spiraled out of control. They cried out in agony and fell from the sky.

From a height of several hundred feet, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be severely injured without the protection of True Essence.

Many Qi Refining Cultivators were instantly smashed into a bloody pulp.

Only a few Major Cultivators with profound cultivation managed to stabilize their True Essence, but when they looked up again, their target was already miles away.

"Damn it!"

The Cultivators all cursed in fury.

For the head of a family to be abducted in public, right under their noses, was a monumental humiliation for any clan.

"Are we just going to let him leave like that?"

SWOOSH!

Just as everyone was filled with despair and resentment, the clear cry of a sword suddenly rang out.

A chilling beam of sword light, like a startling rainbow in the night, shot out without any warning. It was so fast it resembled a flash of lightning, threatening to rip the entire night sky in two in an instant.

Before many Cultivators could even react, the Sword Rainbow, like a comet striking the moon, had already reached its target.

"Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?"

Chen Che’s eyes narrowed, and the Red Dragon Lock Chain coiled around his body.

CLANG!

The sound was like a temple bell at dawn.

Sparks filled the sky like scattering fireworks, momentarily illuminating the world. As Little Chick stabilized itself, it let out a sharp cry, its feathers bristling as if it had encountered a natural predator.

Chen Che also narrowed his eyes, gazing into the night sky.

There.

He felt an immense aura rapidly approaching. The person’s Swordsmanship was exceptional, and their speed far surpassed Little Chick’s. He wouldn’t be able to escape unless he recklessly activated his Essence Blood.

So, Chen Che simply had Little Chick come to a stop.

Sure enough, a few breaths later.

At the edge of their vision, an old man with dark hair, sword-like eyebrows, a black robe, and bare feet approached step by step. The vast wind whipped his hair about like crazed pythons and made his robes crackle like banners. His aura was so powerful it was as if he were treading upon heaven and earth.

And the sword that had launched the sneak attack just now spun in the air and returned to his hand.

"Ancestor!"

"The Ancestor is here..."

Upon seeing the old man, the once-despairing members of the Wu Family erupted in excited cheers.

One Major Cultivator even knelt directly before the old man.

"Ancestor, please forgive us! This fiend captured the Patriarch. We were completely unable to stop him."

"Of course you couldn’t stop him."

The old man who had walked across the sky kept his gaze fixed on Chen Che. "This man is the Valley Master of Jinyun Valley, a famous genius Pill Master from Yunzhou. Don’t be fooled by his youth. At least a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators have died at his hands."

As he spoke, he glanced at the unconscious Wu Ming, a hint of pain in his eyes.

Wu Ming was his own grandson and had reached the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer. He not only had two Beast Pets, the Celestial Fate Crow and the Soul-devouring Tiger, but also possessed the Celestial Secret Painting Scroll, a testament to his strength. He was also the second person in the clan, after himself, most likely to achieve Core Formation.

But who would have thought he would be captured by Chen Che here, his Dantian destroyed, and turned into a cripple?

"Fellow Daoist Wu has heard of me?"

Chen Che recognized him as well: Wu Qianhai, the Wu Family Ancestor.

This man followed a path of decisive slaughter, and his Greed Wolf Sword technique was incredibly ferocious. His fearsome reputation was built on a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. However, despite his formidable aura, he was still a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivator.

Therefore, Chen Che did not fear him.

"I have naturally heard of Valley Master Chen. You should know, the name of every powerful expert is like a beacon in the dark night. If one day you can become a Golden Core True Master, your name will be sung for a thousand years, even after death."

Wu Qianhai held one hand behind his back and a sword in the other, glancing coldly at him.

"Valley Master Chen, considering you are a powerful Overseas Dragon, if you are willing to swear an oath to serve my clan for a hundred years as penance, I will let today’s matter slide."

Of course.

This so-called penance was, in fact, performing Alchemy for his clan. By imprisoning him for a hundred years, they could potentially cultivate several more Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Cultivators.

"Is Fellow Daoist Wu so confident he can take me down?"

Chen Che said with a faint, mocking smile.

"HAHAHAHA..."

Wu Qianhai threw his head back and laughed. Then his gaze turned cold, and with a point of his longsword, he seemed to split the very world in two. A vast wave of Sword Qi stretched for a thousand feet, bisecting everyone’s vision and creating an overlapping effect like a painted scroll.

"You are not a Sword Cultivator. You have no idea how terrifying a Sword Cultivator can be!"

"Go!"

Chen Che waved his hand. His True Essence surged like a raging tide, and the flames on the Red Dragon Lock Chain flared as it slammed into the world-splitting sword strike.

But the result was that Wu Qianhai didn’t even move, while Chen Che was knocked back several dozen feet by the blow.

At that moment, the second attack was already on its way. Wu Qianhai moved with his sword, his entire body transforming into a brilliant Sword Rainbow that lunged forward like a soaring dragon. Finally, it became a storm of Sword Qi, trapping Chen Che within.

’He’s a pure Sword Cultivator; no wonder he could unleash that last strike.’

A stern look flashed across Chen Che’s face. As he poured in his True Essence, the flames of the Red Dragon Lock Chain erupted, transforming into a massive Fire Dragon several hundred feet long. The Fire Dragon thrashed and danced, enveloping the surrounding hundred-foot area.

A Tier Three Magical Artifact, moving at his will, perfect for both offense and defense.

DING DING DANG DANG!

The clash of sword edges produced a dense flurry of sounds.

’Such a fast reaction. Wu Ming’s loss was not unjust.’

As Wu Qianhai thought this, his movements grew even faster. His Sword Qi erupted, splitting into nine streams. They transformed into nine flowing rainbows that spiraled around the Red Dragon Lock Chain, like nine swords slaying a dragon.

The sword light slammed into the red dragon, causing an explosion of fire and shattering its scales.

DING DING DING!

In just a few short breaths, the light on the chain had already dimmed by a third.

"The moment the Ancestor attacked, that fiend was rendered helpless!"

Watching the might of Wu Qianhai splitting the heavens with a finger and slaying the soaring dragon with his sword, the Wu Family Cultivators all cheered with excitement.

Amid the cheers, Wu Qianhai’s voice emerged from the sword light:

"I’ll ask you one last time: are you willing to surrender to me?"

"To you?"

Chen Che chuckled and shook his head.

Almost simultaneously, the nine swords merged into one. The Sword Rainbow’s light intensified, becoming like a nail-headed longsword that pierced directly through the Red Dragon Lock Chain’s brow. With a CRACK, the coiling chain was blasted over a hundred feet away by the force of the blow.

And now, the merged Sword Rainbow, its momentum unbroken, shot directly toward Chen Che.

Even from hundreds or thousands of feet away, the Wu Family Cultivators could feel the Sword Qi on their faces, stinging their skin. Many were mesmerized with excitement, their gazes toward Chen Che filled with scorn.

’The majesty of the Wu Family is not for you to disgrace!’

’Now it’s time for you to pay the price!’

SCREE!

Little Chick let out a clear cry and suddenly slashed with its wings.

As its Demon Essence boiled, two blades of light, like green Jade, flashed through the air. It used its wings as sabers and the wind as its edge. The sweep of its wings was like two Giant Blades crossing paths.

SHHHRRRIP!

Where the Giant Blades passed, they left a trail of what looked like swirling willow catkins—the spectacular sight of shredded air itself!

But Little Chick’s full-power attack was effortlessly shattered by the Sword Rainbow.

Even Chen Che’s Protective True Essence was sliced through. Just as everyone thought Chen Che could not escape this sword, he suddenly struck out with his own. His strike seemed casual, the sword light like a Firefly, a candle in the wind that might extinguish at any moment.

But when Wu Qianhai’s world-shaking Sword Rainbow collided with it, it was like a colossal wave crashing against a reef—it was instantly shattered. The scattered Sword Qi, under the light of that single Firefly, reversed its course like a celestial river flowing backward, surging toward Wu Qianhai!

Tier Three Middle Grade Sword Technique:

Taichu Haoyue Sword!

"How is that possible? You’re a Sword Cultivator, too?"

As the sword light crumbled, Wu Qianhai’s figure was revealed.

He could no longer maintain his earlier calm composure. He swung his longsword, finally dissipating the back-flowing Sword Qi. But before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, that single point of firefly light had already streaked across the night sky.

It was the same light that had shattered his Sword Rainbow.

BANG!

The point of firefly light first landed on Wu Qianhai’s Protective True Essence. His True Essence, which was strong enough to withstand a siege from several Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, instantly exploded, dissipating into a cloud of scattered energy.

Wu Qianhai retreated!

He shot backward with even greater speed than his initial charge. But no matter how fast he retreated, he couldn’t outpace that firefly light!

PUCHI!

Before the disbelieving eyes of the crowd, the point of firefly light pierced through Wu Qianhai’s chest. By the time he tried to retreat again, it was too late. He screamed in pain and plummeted from the sky.

Before he could hit the ground, a gust of wind flashed by.

With a flap of its great wings, Little Chick caught the unconscious Wu Qianhai in its massive beak and once again soared into the sky, flying off into the distance.

And Chen Che stood coolly on its back, disappearing with it into the night.

For a moment, the entire area fell into a dead silence.

A moment later, a cry echoed through the heavens:

"This is a disaster!"

"The Ancestor has been captured!"
