Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

The two sides approached each other slowly and in silence. He Zicheng and Qu Shen’s expressions changed with each passing second; from delight to desire to wariness. Before them was the object of their dreams and nightmares. She was the source of their power as well as their madness. She was the cause for He Zicheng and Qu Shen to kill Zhuge Kang and wipe out the snake faction.

Jasmine watched the two people coldly. She had not seen them in almost two years and they looked much older and worn out than before. They used to be like men in their golden years; wise, strong, and vibrant. Now, their hair was turning gray and their eyes were sunken and dispirited like they had lost a lot of their vitality.

These two people were responsible for so many twists and turns in her life. They were responsible for attacking her lair and destroying her mother’s plan. They were also responsible for killing her adopted father. Although Zhuge Kang was not blameless, he defended her in the end and died because of that. She had already forgiven him but these two, she would never forgive them.

“He Zicheng, Qu Shen.” She said.

Her voice was not loud but it was filled with gravity.

The two men stiffened and stopped in midair, several hundred meters away.

“Jasmine… haha…” He Zicheng said, “I never expected you could reach the Spirit King Realm so quickly.”

There was a long silence before Jasmine replied, “Weren’t you the same? Qu Shen, weren’t you the same as well? My divine powers, you both should be very familiar with them already.”

The two sides stared at each other again.

“What do you want?” Qu Shen asked, “Do you think you can trap us here with your small tricks? Why don’t you tell your helpers to come out and stop with the pretenses.”

By now, He Zicheng and Qu Shen both realized that something wasn’t right. There was no reason for Jasmine to show herself here unless she was prepared. Her blood had simply been the bait to keep them here.

However, they were still somewhat confident. They were high in the sky with no obstructions in all directions. They could pick a direction to flee and it would take more than a handful of Spirit Kings to stop them. They also weren’t worried about losing their powers that were due to the effects of the Lunar Blessing. Because it came from a much more powerful source and not Jasmine herself.

Jasmine snorted, “What do I want? I want your lives.”

“Hahaha!” He Zicheng laughed loudly, “Jasmine, Jasmine… don’t you understand? If other humans found out about your existence, you won’t be able to keep your life either. Don’t need to mention those scheming bastards in the Eastern Sanmu Metropolis, there will probably be a few Spirit Emperors and Spirit Overlords from the Martial Brilliance Continent that would be very interested in a Nine Tailed Moonlight Fox.”

Jasmine smiled an unfriendly smile, “Do you think you can escape here today?”

At her words, two figures rapidly approached their gathering point with their immortal auras on full display. Huo Tu arrived from the east after taking a long detour, covered in fiery red spiritual flames. His eyes were blazing pearls while his mouth was akin to a pool of magma. Sundew came out of the west, surrounded by a green cloud. Her giant mantis figure was enough to instill fear in all beings below her realm.

Seeing them, He Zicheng and Qu Shen immediately became alert. A golden yellow aura surrounded He Zicheng while a crimson one surrounded Qu Shen. Their spiritual energies were at their peak. They were like arrows notched to fully drawn bows, ready to move in an instant.

“Jasmine, I congratulate you on finally taming these two pets. Though, it’s a pity that a little monkey seems to have run away.” He Zicheng said.

Jasmine didn’t bother to reply so he continued, “You leave us no choice. If we can’t have you, we will just have to gift you to an emperor or overlord. Oh, where is your last pet helper? Might as well come out and stop trying to be mysterious.”

“Hahaha!” A bright laugh drifted across the sky, carried by a gust of hot wind.

A blue fireball descended from the sky, stopping at a position several hundred meters south of He Zicheng and Qu Shen. Despite the slight distance, both men clearly saw who this newcomer was.

“Chen Wentian! How is it you?” Qu Shen blurted.

“Hahaha, why can it not be me?” Chen Wentian replied brightly.

Saying that, he let out his true power and spiritual aura. His blue flames expanded in size five-fold and rose a hundred meters into the sky.

“Spirit King…” He Zicheng said gravely, “I see… It was you who attacked Beast God City and broke Jasmine out of my prison. What a good Immortal Sword Bandit Lin Huzhong, how many other tricks do you have?”

Chen Wentian grinned, “I have many tricks. So many that you might be frightened to death if I told you.”

He Zicheng narrowed his eyes, “You don’t need to tell me. You can slowly tell some emperor or overlord as they slowly torture to death. I am sure many people will be interested in how a lowly peasant with no background managed to reach the Spirit King Realm in three years.”

“Hahaha, I’m sure many people will be. However, you seem to have mistaken something. You won’t have a chance to tell anyone.”

As he finished speaking, a fireball the size of a person appeared in his palm and shot out. It was the signal to attack. After all, there was no point in chatting all day. Chen Wentian was never one to throw spit at his opponent when he could just throw fireballs.

Woosh!

The fireball left a streak of blue flame in the air. He Zicheng and Qu Shen were both forced to dodge out of its path. They moved upward in the sky, choosing the best option for the moment.

As one, Chen Wentian, Jasmine, Sundew, and Huo Tu followed suit. The four of them kept their distance from each other, maintaining a square formation with He Zicheng and Qu Shen in the middle. Huo Tu from the east continuously launched orange fireballs filled with magma energy like an erupting volcano. Jasmine shot moonbeams out of each of her four tails, creating deadly rays of light that could slice through mountains.

The sky turned chaotic as six Spirit Kings started an all-out battle. Spiritual energy surged wildly. Even several kilometers high, the pressure created by the various clashes caused shockwaves on the ground that knocked over trees and uprooted the forest below.

In the center of this mayhem, He Zicheng and Qu Shen were defending for the moment. Each carried a protective shield at the Spirit Lord Realm. Combined with Spirit King auras, they were able to block the flames coming from two directions while dodging Jasmine’s dangerous attacks.

They tried to move higher but Jasmine and her crew followed suit. When they tried to head for a gap between the horizontal formation, Jasmine simply shifted to block their way, frustrating their attempts to escape.

“Damn, this will be a little tough. We won’t be able to break out of this without sacrificing a little.” He Zicheng said, “Brother Qu, are you prepared.”

“Hmph, Brother He, don’t mention it. Together, we won’t be defeated.”

The two brothers shared a laugh amid battle. Facing common enemies, they were sworn brothers again.

He Zicheng pointed to Sundew, “We have to forcibly defeat one of them in the quickest time. The mantis is the weakest. I also sense that her spiritual energy is somewhat weak, no doubt from fighting Jasmine before submitting to her.”

“I agree! Let me do it, just cover my back!” Qu Shen shouted.

“Alright!”
