Chapter 187 - 134: You Dare! Why Wouldn’t I Dare?

Chapter 187: Chapter 134: You Dare! Why Wouldn’t I Dare?

After finishing his words, the Celestial Sword Sect disciple—who had broken through to the Mortal Transformation Realm via the Eight Meridian Spine and one transformation—completely ignored his sister’s attempts to stop him and soared into the sky.

This proved just how fatal an attraction the main Celestial Sword Sect held for the cultivators of the branch sects. And just as expected, as Saint Cangchen’s words faded, the entire disciple body of the Celestial Sword Sect went utterly mad. Like a plague of locusts, an overwhelming number of disciples shot into the sky, charging toward that single figure.

"Madness, utter madness! Jiang Renfeng is crazy, that youth is crazy, and the Celestial Sword Sect has gone crazy with them!"

"So many peerless geniuses besieging a single youth! I haven’t seen anything like this in my entire life. It’s simply insane."

"Heavens! Just what did Brother Jiang experience in the Dragon Transformation Pool? How could he become this monstrous?"

Watching Jiang Hao grow more valiant as the battle raged on, Ji Qingxue and the others were completely dumbfounded. Even Leng Tianyu, Huang Ling’Er, and the rest turned pale with shock.

Amidst the endless horde of Celestial Sword Sect disciples...

BOOM!

Jiang Hao wildly brandished the Chaos Sword Embryo. Every swing of his sword struck with earth-shattering force, rendering it completely unstoppable. The supposed peerless geniuses and monstrous prodigies of the Celestial Sword Sect were like paper in front of him, unable to withstand even a single blow.

"So this is the strength of the Celestial Sword Sect? Nothing much," Jiang Hao said. With a cold sneer and eyes full of disdain, he swept away dozens of geniuses with a single horizontal slash.

His primary reason for acting this way was to end the battle quickly, afraid that delays might bring unexpected variables. Crucially, the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Celestial Sword Sect were still standing by, watching without making a move. Just to be safe, Jiang Hao had no intention of getting near them. God only knew if one of those monstrous peers would try to ambush him using a grand formation.

"It seems I thought too highly of you all. I assumed you’d be true chosen ones of heaven, but who would have thought you’re nothing but a bunch of ants? You can’t even block a single blow from me, Jiang, and you dare call yourselves geniuses?

"If you ask me, the Celestial Sword Sect shouldn’t be called the Celestial Sword Sect anymore. You might as well change it to the Celestial Waste Sect. You’re all just a bunch of trash."

The more the elites held back, the more unrestrained Jiang Hao became. Just as Jiang Renfeng had said, he needed to make the upper echelon of the Celestial Sword Sect feel the pain. Only when those higher-ups bled would he have the leverage to force them to compromise and find out his father’s whereabouts. And the ones capable of making the higher-ups bleed were undoubtedly the Saint Sons, the Saintesses, and the seven figures atop Celestial Sword Peak. That was why Jiang Hao deliberately taunted the countless disciples.

As expected, the moment his words landed, many of the disciples flew into a rage.

"What did you just say, you brat named Jiang?!"

"You little bastard, who are you calling ants?!"

"Outrageous! Simply outrageous!"

"Senior brothers, kill him!"

Countless proud sons and daughters of the Celestial Sword Sect turned their gazes toward the Saint Sons and Saintesses, their eyes burning with fury and expectation. Every single person who managed to enter the Celestial Sword Sect was a one-in-a-million talent. To be so blatantly despised by an outsider was completely intolerable. Jiang Hao’s deliberate provocation had instantly ignited the powder keg that was the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Hmph, what arrogance! Do you really think our Celestial Sword Sect is made of mud?"

"Is the Celestial Sword Sect something a lowly brat like you can insult? Stop your raving—we will execute you right now!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Following Jiang Hao’s taunts, some of the terrifying figures occupying the Spirit Peaks finally couldn’t sit still any longer. Several Saint Sons and Saintesses stepped forward, stirring the winds and clouds as they descended to suppress the battlefield below. Once a few made their move, almost none of the others could hold back.

"Senior sister, let’s strike as well. We can’t let others seize the initiative!"

"The chance to go to the main sect belongs to us sisters. No one can take it away!"

"Kill!"

In an instant...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Numerous Saint Sons and Saintesses charged from all directions. These figures were the type who would either remain still or shock the world when they moved. The power erupting from their bodies caused patches of the void to collapse, making the entire world seem to tremble. Sensing this overwhelming power, even the various major figures of the Eastern Domain who had rushed over to watch the spectacle felt their hearts pound in terror.

"So these are the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Celestial Sword Sect? Such terrifying cultivation and strength!"

"This is the true future foundation of the Celestial Sword Sect. Pull out any single one of them, and they are a horrifying existence capable of shaking the entire younger generation of the Eastern Domain."

"The Celestial Sword Sect truly lives up to its name. Its sheer terror far exceeds our imaginations."

"Too terrifying!"

The mobilization of these numerous Saint Sons and Saintesses allowed the entire Eastern Domain to truly witness the gap between themselves and a Divine Sect. Even the countless prodigies of Nanling found themselves breathing heavily at the sight.

The cultivators and Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect, however, looked upon the scene with endless gratification. These Saint Sons and Saintesses were the true face of the Celestial Sword Sect. Striking together and displaying such divine might intangibly elevated the sect’s status in the Eastern Domain to another level.

But in the next moment, seeing the Saint Sons and Saintesses finally take action, a faint smile graced the lips of the white-clad youth.

Jiang Hao no longer held back. Fully erupting with all his strength, he forced back dozens of monstrous Mortal Transformation Realm disciples with a single sword strike. His speed instantly multiplied, and he vanished from his spot as a blur.

"Hmm?"

An attacking Saint Son let out a gasp of confusion, suddenly sensing that something was wrong. By the time Jiang Hao reappeared, he was already right behind him.

"Too slow."

BOOM!

Along with his nonchalant words, Jiang Hao struck, slamming his palm violently into the Saint Son’s back.

The two were on completely different levels. Although the opponent was a Saint Son-level powerhouse, he had barely entered the Mortal Transformation Realm using the Five Veins Ninth Transformation. Compared to Jiang Hao—a Mortal Transformation Realm cultivator who had fused his Eight Meridians with his spine and shattered the Ninth Transformation to enter a mythical Tenth Transformation—the Saint Son was like an ant gazing up at a towering mountain.

With the eruption of terrifying power, the Celestial Sword Sect Saint Son shuddered violently and spurted a mouthful of blood. His meridians snapped instantly, his Xuanhai collapsed, and his cultivation was crippled on the spot.

But before anyone could react, Jiang Hao’s figure appeared again, this time in front of a stunningly beautiful Saintess.

"Too slow, way too slow."

With a Heaven-Flipping Palm, another Saintess’s delicate body trembled as she coughed up a mist of blood that bloomed like a lotus in the air.

And he wasn’t done yet. Jiang Hao was already weaving effortlessly through the myriad of Saint Sons and Saintesses. Their attacks seemed dreadfully powerful, yet they couldn’t harm him in the slightest. His speed was unimaginably terrifying, causing nearly all of their attacks to hit nothing but thin air. Whenever a Saint Son occasionally managed to force a direct clash, their only fate was being blasted away.

"Too slow, too slow! You’re all way too slow!

"Weak! So weak! Why are you all so weak?!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

With every mocking taunt, a Saint Son or Saintess was crippled—their Xuanhai shattered and their foundation destroyed.

In an instant, the entire Earth Realm of the Celestial Sword Sect, as well as the outside world, was absolutely stunned. It all happened so fast that no one even had time to react. It wasn’t until the sixth Saint Son and Saintess plummeted from the sky that the countless Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect finally snapped out of their daze.

Yet, they were entirely petrified by fear.

"Stop! You wicked beast, stop this at once!"

"No—!!!"

"Don’t! Please don’t—!!!"

The Elders’ eyes practically tore open in fury and grief. With every Saint Son or Saintess that fell, their hearts bled.

"How could this be happening?!"

"Jiang Hao, how dare you!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Elders’ auras surged violently. Their eyes were filled with desperate urgency as boundless murderous intent erupted from their bodies. But the very second these older generation figures unleashed their world-shocking murderous intent...

BOOM!

At the Peak of the Firmament, the restrictions of the Genius Supremacy Battle were triggered, instantly locking onto all the older generation members of the Celestial Sword Sect.

Currently holding a Saint Son by the scruff of his neck, Jiang Hao looked at the Elders who were brimming with killing intent. A cold sneer curled the corners of his lips.

"What wouldn’t I dare to do?"

As soon as the youth finished speaking, he struck the Saint Son in his grasp with his palm, completely crippling him before tossing him down like a dead dog.

"You...!"

Seeing Jiang Hao act with absolute impunity—emboldened by the restrictions of the Genius Supremacy Battle—the Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect trembled uncontrollably with rage. They desperately wanted to rescue their disciples, but they were powerless. The youths had to rely on themselves now, for any elder who dared to intervene would be instantly blasted to ashes.

Watching this scene, the endless masses of cultivators were thoroughly flabbergasted. Even the older generation cultivators from the major powers of the Eastern Domain were frozen in mid-air.

At this moment, only six words echoed in the minds of every older generation figure: "How is he this strong?"
