Chapter 673 If you're going to act, you have to go all the way!
"And you, Yang Jian, are the best sword he chose."
"So, my disciple, you might encounter some 'encirclement and suppression' from the Heavenly Court next. Don't be afraid, they're just extras arranged by your uncle. Just cooperate and act it out."
"You need to make your reputation as resounding as possible! Ideally, you should be branded as the number one traitor in the Three Realms! That way, your uncle will have a reason to 'reluctantly' seek 'help' from the Western Sect..."
My master's words still ring in my ears.
Yang Jian looked at the "immense" encirclement before him, and then at the divine general's winking expression.
He understood everything instantly.
So it turns out they were one of our own!
This is... an "experience pack" sent by my cheap uncle to help me farm battle stats and reputation?
Yang Jian's mood suddenly became somewhat strange.
He looked at the net that had covered his head, seemingly possessing boundless power, but in reality, its power of laws was weak and it couldn't even trap a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he almost burst out laughing.
This acting is way too exaggerated!
However, since it's acting, I have to cooperate properly.
This was a task assigned by my master, and it was also a well-intentioned effort from my own uncle!
Thinking of this, Yang Jian put away his slight contempt, and his face was instantly filled with "raging anger" and "unyielding fighting spirit"!
"Hmph! Heavenly court lackeys, how dare you be so insolent before me!"
He let out a roar, his voice filled with the grief and indignation of being driven to a dead end.
"Trying to capture me? Dream on!"
"Today, I will show you what it means to be someone who cannot be deceived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jian moved.
He ignored the elaborate but impractical net, and with a swift movement, he charged towards the Great Luo Golden Immortal general like a cannonball, disregarding the distance in space!
To catch the thief, first catch the king!
He wanted to use the most shocking and direct way to establish his reputation as the "Number One Defender of Heaven"!
When the divine general saw Yang Jian charging directly towards him, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes, but his face revealed an expression of "fierce anger".
"How dare you! You actually attack me!"
"Die!"
He roared, and the halberd in his hand drew a mysterious trajectory, carrying the power to tear apart the heavens and earth, and cleaved down towards Yang Jian!
This strike was terrifying in its power, with the laws of nature roaring, as if it would split the entire sky in two!
An earth-shattering battle is about to erupt!
"Well done!"
Faced with that terrifying halberd strike that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and earth, Yang Jian's face showed no fear, but rather was filled with arrogant fighting spirit.
He knew that the other party was setting up a stage for him.
What I need to do is dismantle this platform in the most magnificent and shocking way!
"Break it!"
Yang Jian let out a long roar, and with his three-pointed double-edged sword, he didn't use any fancy moves, but simply went up to meet the attack!
However, on the blade, all the magical power of the newly broken-through Great Luo Golden Immortal was concentrated, as well as the terrifying physical power brought by the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique!
clang--!
A terrifying roar, powerful enough to shatter stars and crack the earth below, exploded in the sky!
The three-pointed double-edged sword and the halberd clashed solidly together.
A shockwave, visible to the naked eye and composed of pure power and fragments of laws, spread wildly outwards from the two of them!
The first to be hit was the seemingly indestructible "Heavenly Net" laid out by 100,000 heavenly soldiers.
Faced with that terrifying shockwave, the giant net was like a bubble in the sunlight. It couldn't even hold on for a moment before it shattered into countless golden specks with a "bang"!
The surrounding celestial soldiers and generals were thrown into disarray by the aftershocks, their formations thrown into chaos, and their faces all showed expressions of utter horror.
"puff!"
The Great Luo Divine General located at the center of the collision was even more outrageous.
He felt an overwhelming and terrifying force emanating from the opponent's weapon.
That power was domineering, pure, and unreasonable!
The halberd in his hand let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain, and almost slipped from his grasp!
It was as if he had been hit head-on by an ancient star; his body jolted violently, and he was sent flying backward uncontrollably!
In mid-air, he very professionally spat out a mouthful of golden "divine blood," and his face instantly turned "as pale as paper."
"How...how is this possible!"
The god forcibly steadied himself, staring intently at Yang Jian with a look of utter disbelief, his voice filled with shock and disbelief.
"You...you've actually broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!"
His words were perfectly apt.
This not only highlighted Yang Jian's cultivation level but also provided a perfect reason for his "defeat."
Yang Jian secretly gave this guy a thumbs up for his acting skills.
What a dedicated and excellent actor!
But his hands didn't stop moving at all.
If you're going to act, you have to go all the way!
"So what if you're a Great Immortal?"
Yang Jian took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already above the head of that divine general!
"Even if you're a celestial being, you'll have to lie down today!"
His voice was cold and domineering, filled with contempt for the Heavenly Court.
"Open the Heavenly Eye!"
Yang Jian let out a low shout, and the vertical line on his forehead that had been tightly closed suddenly opened!
A pair of indifferent, majestic golden eyes, seemingly capable of piercing through the netherworld and overlooking the heavens, appeared there!
hum!
A golden divine light, more dazzling than the sun and containing the power to destroy all laws, burst forth from the eye of heaven, locked onto the divine general, and crashed down upon him!
Yang Jian only used 30% of his strength in this move.
Even so, the destructive aura caused the divine general's expression to change.
What the hell!
This kid's serious!
The god cursed inwardly.
Although he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was only an ordinary early-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal. How could he compare to a monstrous genius like Yang Jian, whose foundation was so solid it was almost abnormal?
If that divine light were to strike you squarely, you'd be lucky to survive, or at least suffer serious injury!
His Majesty only told us to put on a show, he didn't say we had to risk our lives!
"not good!"
The divine general's face showed an expression of "utter terror". In a hurry, he held the halberd horizontally in front of his chest and at the same time activated all his magic power to condense a thick shield of divine light.
However, all this is in vain.
That golden divine light was utterly devastating!
boom!
The divine light shield shattered instantly!
The golden light slammed solidly into the halberd, and then, with its remaining force, struck the general in the chest.
"ah--!"
A heart-wrenching scream, so real it seemed genuine, echoed through the sky.
The purple-gold divine armor on the divine general instantly shattered into countless fragments.
He fell straight down from the sky like a kite with a broken string, leaving a long trail of blood in mid-air.
Boom!
His body slammed heavily onto a mountain peak below, causing half of the thousand-foot-tall peak to collapse!
one move!
Just one move!
The Grand Marshal of Heaven, a genuine Great Luo Golden Immortal, was so decisively and cleanly knocked down from the sky by Yang Jian!
Life and death do not know!
At this moment, the entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
The 100,000 heavenly soldiers were all dumbfounded.
They stared wide-eyed at the figure hovering in mid-air, its forehead gleaming with golden light, resembling an unparalleled demon god, their minds completely blank.
Is this...is this real?
Marshal Li... just like that, he was defeated?
Such a quick and devastating defeat?
What kind of monster is Yang Jian?!
In the shadows, the immortals and gods from all sides who had been drawn to this great battle and were hiding deep in the clouds, using various supernatural powers to spy on this place, all gasped in shock.
"Hiss! He severely injured a Grand Luo Golden Immortal with a single move! Yang Jian's strength is terrifyingly powerful!"
"Isn't he a Taiyi Golden Immortal? When did he break through?"
"This is terrifying! What kind of supernatural power does that eye possess? I only glanced at it, and I felt my very soul tremble!"
"This child has already shown his true potential! It seems the Heavenly Court has really bitten off more than it can chew this time!"
A series of divine thoughts, filled with shock and horror, rapidly communicated in the void.
At this moment, the name Yang Jian was truly imprinted in the hearts of all the great powers in the Three Realms with an incomparably powerful presence!
Yang Jian hovered in the air and slowly withdrew his Heavenly Eye.
He looked down at the mess below and the heavenly soldiers and generals who were so terrified they could barely hold their weapons, a cold and disdainful smile on his face.
He knew that the objective of this battle had been achieved.
Moreover, the results were surprisingly good.
He slowly raised the three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, pointing it at the trembling heavenly soldiers in the distance. His voice, like a cold wind from the depths of hell, echoed throughout the entire sky.
"Go back and tell Haotian!"
"I'm determined to save my mother!"
"Anyone who dares to stop me will be slain, gods or Buddhas alike!"
"Today is just the beginning!"
"Let him wash his neck clean and wait!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at the "actors" who had completely lost their will to fight, turned around and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards Buzhou Mountain without looking back.
Only the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and countless onlookers in the shadows remained, bewildered in the wind.
After a long while.
Amidst the ruins of the collapsed mountain, a disheveled figure finally emerged, trembling as he crawled out.
It was none other than Marshal Li, who was "seriously injured".
He coughed up blood, grimacing as he rubbed his sunken chest, cursing under his breath.
"Damn it... this kid's ruthless!"
"We agreed to act, but you almost killed me!"
"I absolutely have to ask His Majesty for more compensation when we get back! This workplace injury is fucking serious!"
A lieutenant rushed over, supported him, and asked with feigned concern, "Marshal, are you... are you alright?"
"Nothing wrong? You try taking a hit yourself!" Marshal Li glared at him irritably.
However, when he saw the look in his deputy's eyes, he quickly composed himself, reverted to his "severely wounded and dying" appearance, and weakly waved his hand.
"Cough cough... That traitor is too strong, this general... this general is no match for him..."
"Quickly...quickly issue the order to withdraw the troops! Return to the Heavenly Court and report back to His Majesty!"
"Yang Jian is fierce! The Heavenly Marshal was defeated in one move!"
"The son of the God of Justice has entered the Great Luo Realm and vows to storm the Heavenly Court!"
"Chaos is about to erupt in the Three Realms! A disciple of Niu Ben has been born, his sword aimed at the Lingxiao Palace!"
……
In just half a day, the news that Yang Jian had clashed with the Heavenly Army in the street and defeated the Great Luo Golden Immortal-level commander Li Tianjun spread like wildfire throughout every corner of the Three Realms.
Whether it was a powerful immortal residing deep in his cave, a dragon king from the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, or a ghost or god from the underworld, all had heard of this earth-shattering event.
For a time, the name Yang Jian was incredibly popular.
Countless immortals and gods were discussing this suddenly appearing powerful figure, speculating about his next move and how the Heavenly Court would react.
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Court, at the other end of the storm's eye, was also shrouded in gloom and despair.
Above the Lingxiao Palace.
Haotian sat high on his imperial throne, his face as still as water, revealing neither joy nor anger.
Below, a group of immortals and gods, led by Li Tianjun, were kneeling on the ground, reporting the battle situation with "fear".
Li Tianjun, the "Marshal Li" who was knocked down to the mortal realm by Yang Jian in one move, is now dressed in a clean court robe, but his face is still "pale" and his breath is "weak," looking like he has suffered a great loss of vitality.
"Your Majesty... I... I am utterly incompetent!"
Li Tianjun's voice was filled with shame and resentment.
"That traitor Yang Jian, using some unknown method, has actually broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm! His strength far surpasses that of others of the same level. Your Majesty, I... Your Majesty, was caught off guard and was ambushed, causing the army to collapse and damaging the dignity of the Heavenly Court!"
"Please, Your Majesty, punish us!"
The heavenly soldiers and generals behind him also kowtowed and pleaded guilty in unison.
"We are incompetent; we beg Your Majesty to punish us!"
The atmosphere in the entire Lingxiao Palace was extremely oppressive.
Haotian was overjoyed as he listened to Li Tianjun's report.
Well done!
As expected of my beloved minister, your acting skills are simply superb!
The line "successfully ambushed by him" is a stroke of genius!
This not only preserved his own dignity as a Great Immortal, but also highlighted Yang Jian's "cunning" and "power."
perfect!
Now, everyone in the Three Realms knows how lawless and powerful this nephew of mine is.
As the uncle, I was forced into a corner and had no other choice but to seek help from outside. So it's only natural that I would do that!
Haotian was secretly pleased, but his face was instantly filled with "thunderous rage"!
"waste!"
He slammed his hand on the dragon throne, letting out a roar that shook the heavens.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
"One hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and a Grand Luo Golden Immortal couldn't even defeat a mere child! They were routed, losing their armor and fleeing in disarray!"
"What use are you to me!"
A terrifying imperial aura erupted from him, causing the assembled officials below to tremble and not even dare to raise their heads.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Venus quickly stepped forward and bowed to persuade him.
"Although Li Tianwang was guilty of oversight, Yang Jian is, after all, a disciple of the Sage Niu Ben, possessing unparalleled profound skills, and having just broken through to the Great Luo realm, his strength has surged. It is understandable that he suffered a temporary setback!"
When Haotian heard the words "Niu Ben," his eye twitched almost imperceptibly.
He snorted coldly, seemingly lessening his anger, but his tone remained icy.
"Hmph! So what if he's a follower of Niu Ben? Even a prince is subject to the same laws as a commoner! Yang Jian has disregarded the heavenly rules, injured a heavenly general, and openly opposed the Heavenly Court. This is a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven!"
He swept his gaze across the assembled officials below and asked sternly, "My ministers, who is willing to share my burden and go forth to capture that traitor and bring him to justice?"
Upon hearing this, the entire Lingxiao Palace fell into complete silence.
