233: The power of immortal artifacts

If one were to ask who Masumi Taichi hated most in [Nine Heavens], it would undoubtedly be Brilliant of the Great Xia Region!

To put Bai Tian to death, Masumi Taichi had previously dispatched his capable assistants, [Fierce Snow] and [Chestnut], to take action against Bai Tian in the real world; however, these two great generals had both met their downfall within the borders of Great Xia.

Therefore, he both hated and feared Bai Tian.

Now, witnessing Brilliant charging towards him with his own eyes, the shock and fright Masumi Taichi felt in his heart simply couldn't be described in words.

"Enemy attack! Come quickly and protect me!"

The moment he saw Bai Tian, Masumi Taichi was enveloped by a strong sense of crisis. While shouting loudly, he quickly pulled out an electronic remote from his waist and pressed it without hesitation.

This remote was the highest-authority electronic key for the Sakura Society's headquarters building, capable of activating all defense and attack facilities inside the building.

With a soft "click," after Masumi Taichi pressed the button, a deafening roar immediately rang out within the entire building, which was over a hundred stories tall.

Visible to the naked eye, a powerful laser defense grid instantly burst forth from the building's outer layer, while all windows and vents were quickly covered by a layer of special high-tech glass capable of resisting artillery shells.

This measure instantly raised the defense level of the Sakura Society's headquarters to S-rank.

At the same time, urgent alarm sounds echoed throughout the building, making all members of the Sakura Society realize the severity of the situation—a formidable enemy was attacking.

Masumi Taichi's personal female ninja guards, dressed in uniform kimonos, rushed out quickly and surrounded him to protect him.

Each of these eight female ninjas possessed martial arts strength no weaker than the eighth rank, and the leader had even reached the ninth rank, making her a half-step Grandmaster.

However, even with such a powerful guard lineup, Masumi Taichi still felt uneasy.

He quickly pulled out a piece of jade and pressed it open without hesitation, sending out a special signal.

This jade was a Grandmaster Jade, a token left for Masumi Taichi by the three strongest Grandmaster-level experts in the Sakura Region.

As long as it was crushed, the three Grandmasters would immediately sense it and rush to the rescue.

As a large number of Sakura Society members rushed out one after another holding high-heat weapons, surrounding Masumi Taichi so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through, his gaze gradually became firm.

Under everyone's protection and after crushing the Grandmaster Jade, Masumi Taichi's tense nerves finally relaxed a bit, giving him a slight sense of security.

"Brilliant!"

He growled through gritted teeth, "You reckless fool! If you had obediently stayed in Great Xia, I might really have had no way to deal with you."

"But now, since you dare to invade my Sakura Society, don't even think about leaving alive!"

Masumi Taichi gradually regained his composure. He looked at the expressionless Bai Tian in the void and taunted him mockingly.

"You dared to step into the territory of my Great Sakura Island; you must have come to seek revenge on me, right?"

Masumi Taichi shouted provocatively, while hooking his finger at Bai Tian from a distance of two hundred meters, "Come on! Let me see what kind of ability you actually have to dare seek death on my turf!"

A cold smile curled at the corners of Bai Tian's mouth, "Since you're so expectant, then I'll grant your wish."

With a gentle wave of his left hand, a radiant and majestic game weapon suddenly appeared in the air—[dragon soul - golden mist moon-piercing].

This weapon was Brilliant and dazzling, like a divine weapon descending from the heavens. Its power was strong enough to shake heaven and earth.

As the only Immortal Artifact currently among players in [Nine Heavens], the moment it appeared in the real world, it emitted a strong pressure, like a nuclear bomb about to explode, making people dare not look directly at it.

Five armed helicopters that were originally flying from the top of the Sakura Building instantly lost control under the pressure of the Immortal Artifact, falling from the sky one after another with deafening explosions.

At this moment, Masumi Taichi, his eight personal female ninjas, and all the armed elites in the building were terrified by the pressure of the Immortal Artifact. They involuntarily knelt on the ground, their souls trembling and their hands and feet shaking.

"An... an Immortal Artifact!?"

Masumi Taichi's voice carried unprecedented panic and fear. His eyelids could barely open under the pressure of the Immortal Artifact.

At this moment, to them, it felt as if the apocalypse had arrived and the end of the world was coming.

Bai Tian was like a god of death delivering judgment. As the [dragon soul - golden mist moon-piercing] in his hand moved, it emitted a dazzling light, as blinding as the sun.

He swung the Immortal Artifact, producing a sonic boom like a phoenix's cry. A world-splitting, shocking sword qi instantly formed, slashing towards the Sakura Society building.

Masumi Taichi's soul trembled under the sword qi, and he let out a terrified roar: "No!"

However, it was already too late.

With a thunderous boom, power like a nuclear explosion instantly erupted. Ice and snow flew everywhere as the Sakura Society headquarters building was reduced to nothingness under the destruction of the sword qi.

Masumi Taichi, the Sakura Building, and all living beings within it were completely destroyed under this move, vanishing without a trace.

This was the power of an Immortal Artifact!

Bai Tian looked at all this coldly, as if everything was under his control.

Suddenly, Bai Tian noticed three powerful Grandmaster-level martial arts auras rapidly approaching.

Since Masumi Taichi was already dead, Bai Tian didn't want to waste any more time. He was anxious to return to [Nine Heavens] and go to the other world with Jiang Yuebai to save people.

Thus, he immediately prepared to take action, intending to use a long-range move to kill these three Grandmasters.

"Wait... wait a moment!"

At this time, Ling Feng's voice came from below.

He swallowed hard and shouted loudly from atop a tall building below: "Leave those three Grandmasters to me!"

Bai Tian's shocking strike just now had left Ling Feng, who was a Grandmaster himself, dumbfounded with shock.

He knew well that with the strength Bai Tian had just displayed, any casual strike could shatter a Grandmaster-level expert into pieces.

But some hatreds cannot be replaced by others.

Seeing the determined light in Ling Feng's eyes, Bai Tian nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

He added: "I'll give you fifteen minutes to finish the battle."

After saying that, Bai Tian turned into a shadow of light and instantly disappeared from the spot.

A moment later, Bai Tian appeared above the "Jian Guo Shrine" on Sakura Island.

With a long-range move, the Nether Vortex whistled down.

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, the Jian Guo Shrine and all the land within five hundred meters of it were instantly twisted into nothingness, disappearing forever.

After destroying this place, Bai Tian rushed to three more locations. He traveled a hundred miles and destroyed three villas and all the living beings within them from a distance.

These three villas were all for Masumi Taichi's family, illegitimate children, and mistresses.

Bai Tian did things without leaving future trouble, even if they posed no threat to him at all.

But weeds must be pulled up by the roots!

After completing all this, Bai Tian arrived at the agreed-upon location with Ling Feng to wait.

Before long, Ling Feng arrived late, his body covered in blood and his left arm bearing a wound.

But his face was filled with a relieved smile; he had clearly completed his revenge.

Bai Tian didn't ask much; he cast a Healing Spell from a distance, instantly curing Ling Feng's injuries.

Then, he took Ling Feng and left Sakura Island...
