Chapter 584: Chapter 483: Venus, Master of Slaughter

Gongyang Jin was responsible for sending the invitation to Taibai Jinxing.

As an Immortal Family who had dealt with him several times, she shouldn’t be so cautious.

However, Taibai Jinxing had already died several times before them, only to be resurrected each time, continuously updating Han Zhan’s understanding of Taibai Jinxing.

In Han Zhan’s eyes, Taibai Jinxing now existed in a very delicate state of "like death."

But these seven invitations, someone from each Immortal Family must deliver them.

Otherwise, it’s a failed mission. The punishment for failure goes without saying, so one must go to Taibai Jinxing.

The task of delivering the invitation to Taibai Jinxing eventually fell to Gongyang Jin.

Firstly, she was the strongest in terms of killing power among the Contracted Spirit Girls, and secondly, Han Zhan felt that her connection with Taibai Jinxing was the deepest.

Taibai Jinxing had different images across various legends, but in Han Zhan’s speculation, he was more inclined to believe in the description of "Venus" from legend.

The description said: "Essence of Western metal, son of the White Emperor, grand official, symbol of the Grand General."

It means Taibai Jinxing symbolizes the War God, not some easily bullied old man who muddles through.

The varying legends might feature subjective adjustments to his personality.

But from objective settings, Taibai Jinxing is the Immortal Family that presides over battle and warfare.

Gongyang Jin recalled Han Zhan’s specific speculations about Taibai Jinxing.

She followed the guidance of the invitation bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West to arrive at Taibai Jinxing’s residence.

With a kind and amiable face, Taibai Jinxing again appeared before her, smiling.

"It’s you, Fourth Fairy."

Taibai Jinxing actively greeted her upon seeing Gongyang Jin.

"Venus." Gongyang Jin pressed down her doubts and vigilance, choosing to present the invitation first, "This is the invitation the empress instructed me to deliver, inviting you to the Flat Peach Banquet."

"Flat Peach Banquet, hmm? I see." Taibai Jinxing nodded.

He smiled as he accepted it, then turned to walk back to his residence.

"This..." Gongyang Jin stared at Taibai Jinxing’s back in surprise.

This scene didn’t seem quite like how she had expected it to be?

What happened to the elusive opportunity?

Why did he just turn and walk away?

"Venus!" Gongyang Jin called out to Taibai Jinxing.

"Fourth Fairy, is there anything else?" Taibai Jinxing still maintained a smiling demeanor, not mentioning a return gift at all.

This Taibai Jinxing, completely playing outside the box! What to do.

Gongyang Jin’s mind raced, and she suddenly thought of something.

Hadn’t Ah Zhan mentioned that Taibai Jinxing presides over warfare? Then let’s use the most straightforward method!

A golden light formed in her hand, transforming into a sacred and sharp longsword!

In the next moment, Gongyang Jin thrust her sword forward.

"Venus, take a look. Do you recognize this sword?"

"..."

Taibai Jinxing was startled by Gongyang Jin’s sudden action.

But soon, his smiling expression froze.

The Xuanyuan Sword emitted a dense and majestic slaughter Sword Qi, which, along with Gongyang Jin’s Sword Intent, crisscrossed in the air, forming countless sword shadows.

The sword shadows were as dazzling as stars—no, even more dazzling than stars.

They intertwined and surrounded Gongyang Jin and Taibai Jinxing completely, like an inverted cage or a fighting arena.

The Golden Sword Energy reflected on Taibai Jinxing’s face and mirrored in his eyes.

At some point, his smile gradually receded and disappeared.

More sharpness and Evil Energy reflected from his pupils, the murderous aura so intense that it forced the Xuanyuan Sword Energy to retreat!

Venus, presiding over slaughter!

"It’s been too long, too long since I’ve felt such pure Sword Qi and such strong Sword Intent."

Taibai Jinxing spoke, no longer smiling, instead his numerous white whiskers fluttered without wind.

Gongyang Jin saw Taibai Jinxing like this, first heaved a sigh of relief.

As facts proved, she had gambled successfully.

Han Zhan’s speculation was correct; Taibai Jinxing is an Immortal Family presiding over warfare.

He maintained a cheerful everyday facade because he had been troubled by orders and trivial matters in the Immortal Court, developing a form of "camouflage."

Now, with Gongyang Jin releasing a majestic Sword Intent, intimidating with her Sword Qi, Taibai Jinxing’s other side was completely awakened.

But soon, Gongyang Jin became nervous again.

She gripped the hilt of the Xuanyuan Sword tightly.

For she felt the terrifying momentum escalating from Taibai Jinxing!

Tier Eight, Tier Eight Peak!

Tier Nine, Tier Nine Peak!

Taibai Jinxing’s power suddenly broke through to Tier Nine Peak!

This... Taibai Jinxing’s other side was successfully awakened, but what now? It seems like I can’t beat him?

Opposite, Taibai Jinxing was already walking step by step towards Gongyang Jin.

The distance between them grew shorter and shorter.

Taibai Jinxing seemed like an awakened prehistoric giant beast with each step resonating with a drum-like thunder on Gongyang Jin’s heartbeat.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Gongyang Jin suddenly tightened her grip on the Xuanyuan Sword’s hilt, she lifted her head, resolutely looking towards him.

"We Sword Cultivators, why fear a battle!"

"So what if it’s Tier Nine Peak? If you seek battle, then come!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Gongyang Jin’s voice echoed throughout the air, those Xuanyuan Sword Energies previously intimidated by Taibai Jinxing’s momentum, wavered but then became condensed once more, sharper and fiercer.

Numerous tips of Golden Sword Energy pointed directly at Taibai Jinxing.

Gongyang Jin raised her sword, poised to attack!

At this moment, Taibai Jinxing halted his footsteps.

Feeling Gongyang Jin’s renewed Sword Intent, he smiled once more.

"Clarity in Sword Heart, strong will, not bad, very good."

"You use Sword Qi to provoke me, clearly wanting my return gift. As you wish."

After Taibai Jinxing spoke, he swung his long sleeve, and under the Sleeve Universe’s divine power, Gongyang Jin felt herself caught in a whirlwind.

She was drawn into an unknown place by Taibai Jinxing.

When Gongyang Jin regained her sight and looked around, it was no longer the Immortal Energy-shrouded appearance of the Immortal Court.

The sky here was a murky gray, with sunlight occasionally piercing through gaps in the thick clouds, casting dappled light and shadow.

The ground carved by time left deep imprints. Scorched black earth was scattered with broken weapons and armor, ancient battle flags were worn out yet still bravely standing and fluttering in the wind.

Ruined castles and fortresses stood, the wind carrying deep echoes—the lingering sound of war drums, warriors’ shouts, horses’ cries.

These sounds intertwined, composing a tragic elegy that echoed across this ancient land.

This place is—the Ancient Battlefield!

"Take it, this is my gift for awakening me."

"Only endless slaughter can refine growth, advancing your Sword Dao."
