nChen Ming said, “Let’s go see how strong the eight tigers are.”

nSince he said a Gold Immortal came to Three-headed Dragon Constellation and also found him, Duan Shou trusted Chen Ming divining.

nHe also found the next target’s location from Bu Liuhen. The two made their way with ease through Atlas Constellation since their neighbor was a Faceless and it always helped to scout it.

n

n

nIn three days, they arrived before the star Chen Ming’ detected. Bu Liuhen said, “Sire Faceless, this is a military star. It holds ten thousand Earth Immortal and a hundred Celestial Immortals.”

nA military star was just like a military camp, where soldiers gathered and trained.

nSuch stars were wider than normal, to avoid destruction. This place was also forbidden for others to enter.

nChen Ming said, “Ten Thousand immortals, not a bad power. Leave them to me. Duan Shou, you deal with the Gold Immortal.”

n

n

nDuan Shou’s heart shuddered, “Nr. 6 found us!”

nChen Ming thought, An away battle!

nFaceless held the power to call to anyone withing their domain, Duan Shou included. He couldn’t order him but finding his location was easy.

nThis was why they never used real names. If the others knew it and entered someone else’s domain, he’d be found out on the spot.

n

n

nA black smoke wreathed in front of Duan Shou and formed into a Faceless. Nr. 6 looked around and knew where this was. He chuckled, “Your scouts aren’t bad to have found my military star!”

n“Deceitful bastard!”

n“I just came here out of boredom, yet didn’t expect Nr. 5 to send you. Tell me this Duan Shou, why do you serve him yet only made a deal with me?”

n“You don’t deserve to know!”

nNr. 6 shrugged, “A dead man has nothing to say anyway. Why should I waste time if you’ll soon die?”

nHe pointed at the hall on the military star, “Look, they’ve got my order.”

n

n

nSwarms of Earth Immortals left the hall and floated in the sky, watching Bu Liuhen and Duan Shou with vigilance.

nDuan Shou didn’t care as he could tread the void. Chen Ming and Bu Liuhen could also, just that it wasn’t as optimistic against ten thousand Earth Immortals.

nChen Ming operated the Turtle Breathing Art to remove all signs of life and appear dead. He knew 3,000 Daos so of course he knew a feint death art. He transmitted his voice to Duan Shou, Throw me to Bu Liuhen. Since we’re here, we need to play our part!

nDuan Shou grabbed him, knowing his intent. Chen Ming was an array master. What good would more people do when they had a one-man army?

nEver heard of a moving array?

n“Catch my magic treasure!”

nBu Liuhen thought he’d be thrown something good, only to find the play dead Chen Ming in his hand.

nNr. 6 eyed the dead thing, “The hell is that? A magic treasure?”

n

n

nBu Liuhen got the gist. Chen Ming couldn’t show himself so he wanted to dupe Nr. 6 into thinking the crow was a magic treasure.

nAs the circle of Earth Immortals tightened, Duan Shou said, “I’ll leave this to you while I go finish the Gold Immortal!”

nBu Liuhen nodded. He saw Chen Ming’s display on Sacred Mountain, killing Earth Immortals even before passing his trial. Killing them now should be easy pickings.

nThe two were boxed in by the army of Earth Immortals when a man wearing a black tiger armor, a Gold Immortal, stepped out, “Duan Shou, who’d have thought you’d turn to Nr. 5.”

nDuan Shou gripped Two Year Cicada. To hide its appearance, he covered it up.

n“Just an official servant choosing his lord, one that acknowledges my talent. You are a fool for staying with a waste like Nr. 6.”

nXuan Hu glowered, “You dare show disrespect in his presence?”

nDuan Shou chuckled, “What’s wrong? It’s so obvious how weak he is. The way I see it, we don’t even need to fight. Just have Nr. 6 and my glorious Lord duel, quick and efficient. Why complicate the matters?”

nXuan Hu snapped, “Rubbish! Why should Sire Faceless face a weak pup like him?”

n“One strike shall be your doom!”

nXuan Hu reached for his Tiger Cleaver, “Since you want death, I will help you!”

nHe and Duan Shou exchanged blows once and stopped. The later sheathed his blade and Xuan Hu’s head was already on the ground, spilling blood.

nNr. 6 said, “So this is why you chose Nr. 5. Your saber is much faster. It seems Nr. 5 is a reincarnated immortal relying on quick saber.”

n

n

nNr. 6 wasn’t disturbed, ascertaining Duan Shou’s new strength. He signaled, “Kill them!”

nDuan Shou and Bu Liuhen could leave anytime. Such a pity they needn’t do so.

nBu Liuhen fueled Chen Ming with his spiritual power and flew.

nChen Ming seemed to have come alive, blinking his beady black eyes and cawing non-stop.

nBu Liuhen thought using a chant was the perfect prop to complement activating a magic treasure.

n“Death Crow, oh harbinger of death, activate the array!”

nHe had no clue what array had Chen Ming cooked up but played it by ear.

nOnce Chen Ming heard him, My turn. It’s the perfect chance to complete my Immortal Punisher Array Lord mission. Let them fall beneath my blades.
