Chapter 598: Chapter 282: Sword Slashing True Monarch, Great Qin Immortal City_2

However, he didn’t even have time to regret.

Thunderous waves swept over and annihilated the Great Elder of Nanli Sect, Jing Ji Mountain, and the Eighth Elder Wu Minglu, who had a horrified expression on his face, all killed in an instant under the thunder.

The situation changes abruptly, life and death are decided, victory and defeat are resolved.

This battle came quickly and ended quickly.

When the cultivators of the Immortal Workshop soared into the sky, what they saw were the thunderbolts that annihilated Jing Ji Mountain and Wu Minglu, as well as the split in half Three-legged Bronze Fining Pot, and the true monarch corpses that fell and were destroyed.

Those who reacted the fastest and flew were Gold Core cultivators, who naturally recognized Jing Ji Mountain, Wu Minglu, and Nanli Monarch.

And before their eyes, even Nanli Monarch could only escape with his Nascent Soul, while the other Gold Core cultivators of the Nanli Sect had fallen one after another.

Such a disastrous scene made the Gold Core cultivators tremble in horror, and they hurriedly retreated to the edge of the Immortal Workshop, ready to flee at any moment if something went wrong.

A gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall, and cultivators are no exception.

In the arena.

Han Yi frowned slightly and beckoned to recall the Green Reed Sword that was eager to give chase in midair.

The Green Reed Sword returned to the scabbard on his back, and Han Yi coughed heavily, as blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

This battle.

Although it was short, it was a testament to his peak strength.

Although he acted preemptively with a Fourth-Stage Middle-grade Array, grabbing the upper hand and overwhelming his opponents with his momentum, the final full-force sword strike to control them aggravated his unhealed previous injuries.

However.

The battle’s outcome was significant enough.

Although Nanli Monarch had only been at the Early-Stage Nascent Soul for a few decades and still had a Half-step Treasure, Heaven-Defying Qiankun Fining Pot, his impressive reputation was among the Early Monarch Level.

It was because of his influence that Nanli Sect was able to expand its Immortal Workshop business to three large Immortal Cities.

And all this was achieved by Han Yi.

That said.

The Nanli Monarch was the first Monarch Level cultivator that he had slain, which was of extraordinary significance as well.

Before this, Han Yi had only killed an Evil Saint in the Tianquan World, but that Evil Saint was already old and frail, with a fighting strength less than 50% of a normal Early-stage Evil Saint.

This time, he killed a Nascent Soul level cultivator face to face, and in an instant, the battle outcome was determined, and it was not much difficult.

Among these, the greatest credit should go to the Green Reed Sword, which had evolved into a Half-step Treasure. After integrating the new sword, the Long Sword was considered top-notch even among the Half-step Treasures, and that allowed it to cleave the Heaven-Defying Qiankun Fining Pot, which was also a Half-step Treasure, in half and destroy Nanli Monarch’s body in the nick of time.

However.

The Soul Cutting Secret Skill against Nascent Souls, whether it was Nanli Monarch or the Evil Saint he had killed in Tianquan World, could weaken their Nascent Soul’s Divine Soul power but could not kill them in one hit.

Having verified this through these two battles, Han Yi already had it well in mind.

After taking back the Green Reed Sword, he then gently beckoned and collected the scattered 49 Array Flags throughout the Cave Mansion, as well as the demolished Golden Core cultivators, Nanli Monarch’s corpse, the split Three-legged Bronze Fining Pot, and the Qiankun Ring, all of them into his storage bag.

After killing someone, it was only natural to take their spoils of war.

Then, he looked around, soared into the sky, released the Black Emperor Immortal Boat, and flew towards the south.

After he left.

It was only then that the dozen or so terrified and speechless Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Nanli Sect who were hiding in the Immortal Workshop dared to step in front of Han Yi’s Cave Mansion, looking at the Supreme Elder’s severed corpse, as well as the shattered bodies of the Great Elder, Third Elder, and Eighth Elder, in utter horror.

A Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator immediately returned to the core position of the Immortal Workshop and transmitted the information to the sect, informing them of what was tantamount to a sect extermination for Nanli Sect.

The Nanli Sect’s possession of three Immortal Workshops was precisely because Nanli Monarch was there to maintain their control. These three Immortal Workshops, although situated in the northern edge of Qin State, belonged to three of the eighteen Immortal Cities in the Qin State and were profitable enough that anyone with discerning eyes knew about.

Now, with the demise of their only true monarch, even if his Nascent Soul escaped, it could only seize a new body and no longer be considered at the Monarch Level fighting strength. For the Nanli Sect, a misstep would lead to the real sect extermination disaster.

The other cultivators in the Immortal Workshop looked on as Han Yi left, heaving a sigh of relief, then glanced at the fallen four powerful cultivators of the Nanli Sect, their eyes flickering with uncertain meaning.

However.

Although the Nanli Sect suffered the deaths of three true men and one true monarch, there were still over a dozen Gold Core cultivators left, so those Gold Core cultivators with flickering eyes dared not seize the spoils first.

But if other forces were to attack, and they could take advantage of the chaos and profit from it, they would naturally be happy to do so.

The dead Jing Ji Mountain would never know that because of his decision, the Nanli Sect would face the danger of extinction within a single day.

…

Han Yi didn’t know about all this, and of course, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

At this moment.

He sat on the Black Emperor Immortal Boat, which was driven by a high-grade Spirit Stone, and only needed to connect his divine consciousness to the Boat’s Restrictions without exerting much effort, so the speed was not fast.

His mind at this time was mostly focused on himself.

This battle had caused his old injuries to recur and affected his Divine Soul. It just so happened that the Immortal Boat was not suitable for practicing the Ancient God Visualization Method, but practicing the Ninefold Soul Tower was more than appropriate.

Half a month later.

A massive Immortal City appeared in front of him, built atop a continuous mountain range. The Immortal City was vast, magnificent, and similar to the Daqian Immortal City Han Yi had seen before.
