Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 990 - 264: Discovered! Battle Immortal General! Facing 2 against 1! _2
They had noticed by now that inside Immortal Jiao’s Immortal Palace Mansion, there seemed to be sounds of Immortals secretly sparring—how could this not make these two Golden Armor Deity Generals tense?
Their job, after all, was to maintain the daily order of the Heavenly Court to prevent any Immortals from causing mischief.
Upon barging in, they had found the situation somewhat different from what they had anticipated.
An Immortal had died!
And...
If the death had occurred in the mortal realm, it might have been understandable, as the mortal realm was relatively more dangerous—there were the likes of Evil Gods and Demons and Devils, both capable of slaying Immortal Gods.
But the problem was... this was the Heavenly Court, where could an Evil God come from in the Heavenly Court? Where could the Demons and Devils be from?
An Immortal dying inside their own Immortal Palace Mansion in the Heavenly Court was an unprecedented major event!
Moreover, the deceased was a sixth-rank Immortal Official!
In the entire Heavenly Court, there were fewer than two thousand Immortals at this level; of course, this number only referred to those Immortals enlisted in the Heavenly Court’s organization. Those freelance Immortals not enlisted, even though they might be as powerful as Immortal Jiao or even more so, were not included in this count.
After all, those freelance Immortals, while indeed Immortals, were not Immortal Officials. There was still a distinction between the two.
They immediately locked their gaze on Fan Wu.
Amidst this,
The Golden Armor Deity General on the left, wielding two golden whips, pointed one at Fan Wu and bellowed, "What is a mortal doing here? How exactly did he die? What happened?"
Just as he was about to ask more questions, his companion suddenly restrained him. The Golden Armor Deity General on the right, wielding a golden longsword, shimmered in a brilliant golden aura.
The sword-wielding Golden Armor Deity General declared, "No need to ask further; this man is the murderer of the deceased Immortal!"
The whip-wielding Golden Armor Deity General’s face was filled with astonishment. This mortal... was the murderer?
"Do you see the wounds on Immortal Jiao’s body?" continued the sword-wielding Golden Armor Deity General. "They are clearly sword wounds, and this mortal holds a sword. His clothing also has traces of blood, undoubtedly Immortal Jiao’s blood, for mortal blood is not this color."
"Not to mention that upon seeing us, his facial expression underwent no change. It was as if he felt no oppression from our presence at all. He is certainly no ordinary mortal. This man, he is the murderer!"
His whip-wielding companion gasped—could it be that an Immortal was killed by a mere mortal? And this mortal, so audacious to commit murder right in the Heavenly Court?
Whatever the reason this mortal had to kill an Immortal, even if the Immortal had been wrong first... he shouldn’t have killed an Immortal. For that was an enormous taboo, something they, as gods, could not tolerate!
The two Golden Armor Deity Generals did not even wait for Fan Wu to speak; they exchanged glances and decided to arrest this daring mortal first before conducting a thorough interrogation.
"You there, criminal, surrender immediately!" The whip-wielding Golden Armor Deity General charged towards Fan Wu without hesitation.
Then his whips lashed toward Fan Wu’s body.
He seemed to want to take him alive, apparently using not too much force, and specifically avoided aiming at any vital spots.
Fan Wu easily parried the attack with his Demon-slaying Sword and rather helplessly said, "Is it not possible that Immortal Jiao was the wicked one here? Must you attack on sight? Can’t you allow me a moment to explain what really happened?"
"Hmph! Once we have captured you, you will tell us everything thoroughly!" The sword-wielding Golden Armor Deity General also rushed forward, attacking Fan Wu while shouting, "To easily block a strike from a Deity General, He Jian, I knew you were no mere ordinary mortal!"
Fan Wu had not expected the Deity Generals of the Heavenly Court to be so hot-tempered, or rather, so reckless. Strictly speaking, they were incredibly proud and unwilling to listen to a mortal’s explanation.
They preferred to apprehend a murderous mortal and, from a position of superiority, interrogate the criminal.
In that case...
Fan Wu grinned and said, "Who agreed first? It wasn’t me who made the first move, so let me see just how heavy the Deity Generals of Heavenly Court are!"
Without hesitation, Fan Wu used his Demon-slaying Sword to block the attack of the Deity General in Golden Armor wielding a golden divine sword. Then, with a forceful swing of his arms forward, he surprisingly flung his opponent away.
Such immense force had the Deity General in Golden Armor, who kept stumbling backward, covered in a face full of shock, wearing an expression of utter disbelief.
"He’s called He Jian..." Fan Wu’s gaze shifted toward another Deity General holding two golden divine whips, "You aren’t He Bian, are you?"
The Deity General wielding the two golden divine whips twitched the corners of his mouth, gave no response, and his expression was heavy with solemnity.
Seeing him react this way, Fan Wu knew he had guessed correctly.
Well, well!
These names are really quite casual.
He Jian, who had been flung away, had now joined his brother, He Bian. The reason their names were so similar was clearly because they were siblings. It was rare for a pair of siblings to both become immortals in the heavens.
"Be careful." He Jian felt humiliated, having his attack deflected by a mere mortal and even stumbling back a few steps. Still, with a stern face, he warned, "This guy is unbelievably strong; I’m not his match in terms of strength."
He Bian nodded, "His strength... it truly is immense; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to block my attack."
"Let’s attack together!" shouted He Jian.
"Alright!!"
The two Deity Generals in Golden Armor, quite dishonorably, intended to attack Fan Wu together.
One of them, with his two divine whips, created an impenetrable flurry of movements. Swathes of golden divine light surged within the Immortal Palace Mansion of Immortal Jiao, worsening the already devastated mansion.
The other, skillfully wielding his golden divine sword, aimed directly at Fan Wu’s joints, seeking to incapacitate him immediately.
Facing the assault of these two immortals, Fan Wu remained exceptionally calm. Although these two were slightly more formidable than Immortal Jiao, with "Power" attributes exceeding five hundred points,
under the weakening buff, their actual "Power" attributes were strictly less than five hundred points. Their attribute information displayed level over five hundred, but their actual performance was diminished by ten percent.
Thus, facing the onslaught from these two immortals, Fan Wu, with his Demon-slaying Sword in hand, managed to block their attacks squarely.
No matter how fierce or tricky their attacks were, all were effortlessly parried by Fan Wu.
Even so, Fan Wu still found opportunities for even fiercer and trickier counterattacks!
The Demon-slaying Sword, like a venomous snake, skimmed past the waist of the Deity General called He Bian.
Zzzt—
Sparks flew instantly.
He Bian was shocked.
His golden armor at his side was actually slashed open, revealing the flesh beneath! If the sword had gone slightly deeper, it would have disemboweled him.
What kind of weapon was this?
So incredibly sharp!
