"Nonsense!" The celestial official with the knife realized he had misspoke, so he stopped talking and started fighting.
He slashed furiously with his long sword, boom!
A terrifying blade aura rose, the vast sea of clouds dissipated, and endless blade light scattered, the power of this strike engulfing Fang Xiu completely.
Fang Xiu knew clearly that his advantage lay in speed, not strength. With his current strength, he was no match for an Immortal Emperor, especially since the Nine Luminaries Immortal Officials were among the best of the Immortal Emperors.
Faced with such a terrifying strike, he remained calm and, with the aid of nine times the speed, almost teleported, easily dodging the attack.
However, since the Nine Luminaries Celestial Officials were of one mind, they unleashed a series of deadly attacks, so it was impossible for only one of them to make a move.
Just as Fang Xiu dodged the blow, a pagoda shone down from the sky, spinning and emitting a seven-colored celestial light, carrying immense power that seemed to crush the heavens.
At the same time, the other celestial officials also made their moves, attacking him from all directions. The terrifying and vast attacks sealed Fang Xiu within them. This series of coordinated attacks would have killed any celestial emperor on the spot.
However, they were facing Fang Xiu, a true immortal who possessed speed surpassing even that of an immortal emperor.
"Too slow." Fang Xiu shook his head slightly.
The seemingly fierce attacks and perfect coordination, sealing off all directions, were as slow as a tortoise in his eyes. He took a step forward to avoid the pagoda's cover, then moved to the left to dodge the jade flute flying diagonally. After that, he soared into the air, stepping on the spear that was thrusting towards him, and gracefully broke away from the encirclement.
These actions seemed cumbersome and time-consuming, but to the Nine Luminaries Celestial Officials, they were completed in an instant. They could only catch a fleeting afterimage as it flew past their eyes, and by the time they came to their senses, all their attacks had already missed.
The Nine Luminaries Immortal Officials, having missed their target, immediately turned around and looked at Fang Xiu, who stood not far away, with a face full of horror. What terrifying speed! Faced with such speed, they even doubted that they were fighting a demigod.
"It seems that even the Immortal Emperor cannot detect the limit of my speed. I wonder how my current speed compares to that of a demigod?" Fang Xiu ignored the shocked crowd and instead turned his gaze to the ten-thousand-foot projection at the very center—the Flowing Cloud Emperor.
Emperor Liuyun's face immediately darkened: "A bunch of useless trash! This man caused a ruckus in the palace, and not one of you could subdue him. You are all utterly useless!"
The Nine Luminaries Immortal Official lowered his head in shame, feeling utterly humiliated.
Yun Yun stared at Fang Xiu in shock. So this was the source of your confidence? At this moment, she finally understood why he had said there was no need to escape. With such terrifying speed, toying with the Nine Luminaries Immortal Official as if he were nothing, there was indeed no need to run away.
She even had a vague feeling that even if her father, a demigod, were to personally intervene, he might not be able to stop such a rapid escalation.
For a moment she regretted it, regretting that she had just pinned all the blame on Fang Xiu, but the next second she no longer regretted it, because Emperor Liuyun made his move.
"Water Cloud Sky!"
A low shout came from the darkness, like a decree from the Heavenly Emperor or a command from a true god.
The next moment, hum!
An unimaginable sense of oppression spread throughout the venue, causing everyone's hearts to pound and a feeling of suffocation to ripple through them.
Like ants facing a collapsing, towering mountain, they felt terrified, desperate, and helpless.
Even powerful figures like the Nine Luminaries Immortal Official couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
It wasn't until Emperor Liuyun made his move that everyone truly realized just how powerful a demigod was.
In an instant, the sky darkened, and the entire firmament was shrouded in a dark cloud. The cloud rolled like raging waves, and countless wisps of water vapor appeared out of thin air.
When the water vapor appeared, for a moment everyone felt as if they were underwater, surrounded by seawater, and every movement was hindered by the water.
If others felt the resistance of the water, Fang Xiu felt the pressure of ten thousand tons, as if the weight of the entire ocean was pressing down on him.
He was no longer the same person he was when he first arrived in Kyushu. Both his strength and his vision had greatly improved. Looking at the flowing water vapor around him, he realized that this was no ordinary water, but the Weak Water!
The Qi of the Three Thousand Weak Waters filled the entire world, and under the control of Emperor Liuyun, all the pressure was concentrated on him, making every move he made face the resistance of the Three Thousand Weak Waters.
Is this the power of rain clouds? There are also thunderclouds and fire clouds left.
The power of the Cloud God is divided into three types: rain clouds, thunder clouds, and fire clouds. Ordinary people of the Flowing Cloud Immortal Dynasty only cultivate one type, while the royal family cultivates two types simultaneously. Only the emperor can cultivate all three types at the same time and master the secret method of perfectly controlling the three powers.
"If you still can't kill him now, you may all commit suicide," Emperor Liuyun said indifferently.
The Nine Luminaries Immortal Official felt the Weak Water Qi flowing between heaven and earth and was overjoyed.
"With Your Majesty's intervention, we will surely kill this fiend!"
They grinned maliciously at Fang Xiu: "Kid, in this Water Cloud Heaven, your speed, which you're so proud of, can no longer be used. Just obediently accept your death."
Faced with the threat from the Nine Luminaries Immortal Official, Fang Xiu ignored it and instead calmly gazed at the lofty Emperor Liuyun, as if he were the only person in the entire Liuyun Immortal Dynasty worthy of his attention.
"You only use your supernatural powers but don't dare to personally participate. It seems you've fallen into demonic possession quite deeply. I'm afraid you can't even maintain your human form properly now. Come to think of it, you broke through to demigod status two years ago, but you remained silent for two years and didn't dare to show yourself. You must have been trying your best to transform into human form."
Fang Xiu's calm words caused the Nine Luminaries Immortal Official's expression to change drastically.
"You brat, stop talking nonsense! Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Do you think His Majesty would need to personally intervene to deal with you?"
Emperor Liuyun remained expressionless and coldly ordered, "Kill him."
"Die, you demon!" The Nine Luminaries Immortal Officials, fearing that Fang Xiu might utter any more treasonous words, dared not delay for a moment and immediately took action.
The celestial official wielding the sword took the lead, slashing furiously with his blade. In that instant, the heavy and sharp longsword suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling celestial light, and the sound of the blade was like thunder and lightning. With this vast and boundless power, it suddenly slashed down.
Whoosh!
The heavens and earth trembled, and the mountains and rivers shook; this strike was truly earth-shattering!
Fang Xiu remained calm and moved his feet lightly, narrowly dodging the knife.
Although the sword-wielding immortal official missed his target, he was overjoyed: "His speed has slowed down compared to before. Colleagues, quickly surround and attack him!"
The remaining Nine Luminaries Celestial Officials swarmed forward, their celestial artifacts gleaming brightly, unleashing terrifying attacks like rain upon Fang Xiu.
