C2699 CHAPTER2699
In an unexpected twist of fate, Huang Tianhua, the ringleader of these bandits, stumbled upon a legacy left by a Golden Immortal on Yellow Dragon Mountain. With the newfound power of the Golden Immortal's inheritance, Huang Tianhua's fortunes took a dramatic turn. Over the course of several millennia, he advanced from a lowly cultivator to the exalted Heavenly Immortal Realm, founding the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect in the process.
Despite its more established status, the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect retained its predatory instincts, using might to oppress the weak and amassing resources through force. This aggressive strategy propelled the sect's growth at an astonishing rate. In under ten thousand years, it rivaled the prestigious Mystic Medical Immortal Sect.
Now, with Huang Tianhua's breakthrough to the ninth-grade Heaven Immortal realm and his subsequent ascension to the Golden Immortal realm, he set his sights on absorbing the Mystic Medical Immortal Sect into his domain.
The Profound Medical Immortal Sect lay a short distance from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. Peter Parker and his companions, swift as the wind, reached Yellow Dragon Mountain in under an hour. As they materialized in the void just beyond the mountain, two disciples of the True Immortal Realm soared up to confront them.
"Who are you? Vacate Yellow Dragon Mountain immediately. Trespassers of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect shall meet their end!" they bellowed, clearly unaccustomed to such brazen intruders.
Over the years, the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect had flourished, especially since their Sect Master's rise to the Golden Immortal realm, establishing them as a formidable power. The once dominant Profound Medical Immortal Sect had been eclipsed by their might.
Unfazed, Peter Parker lifted his gaze to meet the disciples. In an instant, the Skyfrost Immortal Sword manifested from the ether.
A chilling light emanated from the sword, instilling a bone-deep cold in the two Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect disciples that made them feel as though they had plunged into an ice cellar. Before they could even react, a flash of the sword's light pierced their throats.
As the sword's glow faded, a thin line of blood began to trickle from their necks. Then, their eyes dimmed, and blood misted the air. Their severed heads tumbled from their bodies, turning them into lifeless corpses that plummeted from the sky. In a frenzied panic, their immortal crystals fled toward the heart of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect.
Peter Parker made no move to pursue them, allowing the immortal crystals to retreat to the sect. His arrival at the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect was not meant to be clandestine; he was content to let these two messengers alert their superiors.
As anticipated, shortly after their escape, a swarm of Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect disciples burst forth from the sect's gates.
"Who are you? How dare you come to my Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect and commit such heinous acts!" they demanded, their expressions a mix of shock and rage.
The sect had grown formidable, having even vanquished the Profound Medical Immortal Sect. Yet here was someone brazen enough to strike down their disciples right at the sect's entrance. Such audacity! Did they think the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect was to be trifled with?
Peter Parker stood resolute, sword in hand, his gaze cold and detached. "I'm not here to slaughter needlessly. Where's Huang Tianqi? Bring him out to meet his fate."
His calm declaration echoed, leaving the surrounding disciples questioning their own ears. Huang Tianqi, one of the four esteemed elders, was a powerhouse at the Eighth Grade Heaven Immortal Realm. And this young man had just brazenly announced Huang Tianqi's demise with a single sentence. The audacity was staggering.
"Hmph, a mere upstart dares to spout such insolence in my Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. Everyone, together—attack and annihilate them!"
A disciple from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, who had attained the Fourth Stage Sixth True Immortal Realm, scoffed disdainfully. He beckoned to a dozen of his comrades and they encircled Peter Parker with a menacing air.
Peter Parker remained stoic, his expression unchanging as he effortlessly swung his sword. In the blink of an eye, more than ten disciples from the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect were engulfed in a brilliant arc of sword light. Their bodies, along with the immortal crystals within, were obliterated into nonexistence by the radiant energy.
To Peter Parker, these True Immortal disciples were as insignificant as ants beneath his feet.
"Don't you dare, kid!" bellowed a furious voice from deep within the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect.
Following the outcry, a middle-aged man with fiery red hair and clad in yellow robes burst forth, exuding an overwhelming presence. His aura indicated that he was a Tier 8 Heavenly Immortal, unmistakably one of the Four Great Elders of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, known as Huang Tianqi.
Upon Huang Tianqi's arrival, four additional figures emerged from the sect, soaring into the sky behind him. Each of them also possessed the formidable power of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. These Heaven Immortals represented the full might the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect had at its disposal to defend its territory.
"Ye Cangmu, it's actually you!" Huang Tianqi exclaimed as he landed outside the sect's gates. His eyes narrowed when he spotted Ye Cangmu standing alongside Peter Parker.
Huang Tianqi was well-acquainted with Ye Cangmu, a Seventh-Grade Heaven Immortal from the Profound Physician Immortal Sect. Yet, with the Xuan-Medical Immortal Sect facing an existential threat from their own Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect, Huang Tianqi had not anticipated that Ye Cangmu would lead an offensive against them.
With a sneer, Huang Tianqi addressed Ye Cangmu, "Your Mystic Medicine Immortal Sect is on the brink of collapse, and yet here you are, bold enough to stir up trouble at my Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. How utterly surprising."
Ye Cangmu replied icily, "Huang Tianqi, our Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect has always remained detached from such conflicts, but your Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect has forced our hand by declaring war. If you seek to annihilate the Xuan-Medical Immortal Sect, then I shall see to the destruction of your sect first."
"You've come to attack the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. I suspect you're hoping to pressure the Sect Leader into a retreat, giving the Mysterious Medical Immortal Sect some breathing room."
Huang Tianqi sneered disdainfully, "Unfortunately for you, it's unlikely that you possess the strength to penetrate my Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect on your own."
Ye Cangmu was a mere tier 7 Heavenly Immortal, while Huang Tianqi had already ascended to the eighth tier of the Heavenly Immortal Stage.
Moreover...
This was the stronghold of the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect. He had the advantage of time, location, and support.
With Ye Cangmu's level of power, he was hardly a threat to the Yellow Dragon Immortal Sect!
"Why not put that to the test and see if I'm capable?"
As Ye Cangmu finished speaking, the Celestial Immortal power in his palms erupted furiously. A dark green column of light surged forth, striking toward Huang Tianqi like a limb from an ancient, towering tree.
"You're overestimating yourself!"
Huang Tianqi retorted with a cold snort. In his grasp was a four-foot-long blade, dark yellow in color with flames writhing around it.
Upon the blade's emergence, the temperature of the surrounding environment soared dramatically.
Huang Tianqi advanced, his hands firmly clutching the lengthy blade as he unleashed a slash at Ye Cangmu.
Boom!
The blade's luminous edge, accompanied by a torrent of dark yellow flames, immediately engulfed Ye Cangmu.
