Chapter 678: Transcending Legend

Chapter 678 -675: Transcending Legend

“This… how is this possible?”

The Skyreach Bandit King, Skyfury Bandit King, and Skyrebellion Bandit King muttered to themselves.

Their voices were filled with despair.

“In this world, nothing is impossible!”

Jiang Jichen spoke calmly, Holy Sword in hand.

Then, the Soul Refining Banner appeared in his hand, and with a single sweep…

The bodies of the three Bandit Kings exploded into a mist of blood, their souls drifting out.

The souls were absorbed by the Soul Refining Banner.

The blood mist was devoured by the Azure Heaven Killing Array.

And just like that, the three Bandit Kings had been slaughtered by Jiang Jichen.

The crowd was so shocked they were speechless.

They simply couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Jiang Jichen, a mere Saint First Realm cultivator, had actually slaughtered the three Bandit Kings, who were all in the Great Saint Realm.

Before this, everyone had assumed Jiang Jichen was doomed to die under the Great Saints’ ultimate killing attack.

But in the end, it was Jiang Jichen who had defied the odds and killed his opponents.

The scene was simply too incredible to believe.

Throughout history, the most heaven-defying feat recorded in legend was of a Saint First Realm cultivator fighting a Great Saint to a draw.

Now, Jiang Jichen had shattered legend and broken taboos.

After slaughtering the three Bandit Kings, Jiang Jichen felt a wave of weakness, his body swaying slightly.

Although it was just one move, it had consumed nearly all of his Spirit Cultivation Power at once.

Even after stepping onto the Holy Dao, he could only unleash the Third Heaven of One Sword Roars Nine Heavens.

But it was enough to kill the three Bandit Kings!

At that moment, the Holy Sword in Jiang Jichen’s hand vanished, replaced by the Sinking Mountain.

“Zuo Feng, follow me and slaughter the rest of the bandits!”

Jiang Jichen spoke calmly and was the first to step forward, charging toward the throng of bandits.

This was a group of Saint Realm Fierce Bandits, ruthless and cruel killers who had taken countless lives.

But at this moment, seeing their leaders—the three Bandit Kings—slaughtered by Jiang Jichen’s single sword strike, terror bloomed in their hearts.

Behind him, Zuo Feng finally snapped out of his daze and cheered, “You got it!”

And so, with Jiang Jichen in the lead and Zuo Feng following behind, they began a great slaughter.

Jiang Jichen had just expended too much Holy Dao Spiritual Power, so it was unwise to use Spirit Cultivation Techniques now.

He relied only on his Shadow Step and the Body Cultivation Dao for close-quarters combat!

Zuo Feng followed from behind, coordinating his attacks.

SPLURT…!

It was a magnificent slaughter.

With his Body Cultivation Dao, Jiang Jichen was invincible in close combat.

Against any Cultivator below the Great Saint level, it was an absolute one-sided massacre.

Moreover, with Zuo Feng and his purple Spirit Vein coordinating with him, the dozens of Saint Realm bandits retreated in terror, desperate to escape with their lives.

But locked on by Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Divine Thought, how could they possibly get away?

“Jiang Jichen, are you really going to wipe us all out? You should know, there are beings in the Land of Chaotic Bandits far more powerful than the Three Great Bandit Kings!”

“You’ve killed the Three Great Bandit Kings! You’ll regret it! The Fierce Bandit Ancestor of the Land of Chaotic Bandits will never let you go!”

The remaining Saint-level Fierce Bandits screamed.

Knowing they were no match for him, their only option was to invoke the most powerful existence in the Land of Chaotic Bandits to threaten Jiang Jichen.

They hoped this would make Jiang Jichen hesitate and abandon his hunt.

Jiang Jichen had naturally heard of the Fierce Bandit Ancestor.

The leader of the Three Great Bandit Kings, the strongest expert in the Land of Chaos, a figure who had long since reached the Supreme Realm.

However, even when these Saint Thieves brought up the Fierce Bandit Ancestor, Jiang Jichen’s actions and expression didn’t change one bit.

He continued his merciless charge, slaughtering every last one of the Saint Thieves until their blood mist and souls were absorbed by the Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner, respectively.

Previously, the Azure Heaven Killing Array seemed to be undergoing a transformation and had stopped devouring blood mist for a while.

It wasn’t until he stepped onto the Holy Dao that it seemed to trigger a change in the Azure Heaven Killing Array, allowing it to finally resume devouring blood mist.

Furthermore, the Azure Heaven Killing Array now seemed to have developed its own consciousness. It had become picky, appearing to only devour the blood mist of those at the Saint Realm and above.

Unlike the Soul Refining Banner, which accepted any and all souls without refusal.

The one thing they now had in common was that they would automatically rush out from Jiang Jichen’s body whenever they detected blood mist or souls.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array would devour the blood mist, and the Soul Refining Banner would absorb the souls.

Just as Qingya, Qing Ling, and Xing’er appeared, riding the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile, Jiang Jichen finished slaughtering the last of the Saint Thieves. He then pulled Zuo Feng along and drifted down to land on the creature.

“Let’s go. Back to Yunshui City!”

Riding the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile, Jiang Jichen and his group vanished into the distance.

But the crowd remained in a daze, only snapping out of it after Jiang Jichen and his companions were long gone.

“Something huge has happened! The slaughter of the Three Great Bandit Kings is going to cause a massive uproar in the Southern Continent.”

“Jiang Jichen, at the Saint First Realm, slaughtered three Great Saints with a single sword. This will become an endless legend.”

“I can’t believe he caused such a world-shaking event the moment he returned.”

“I’m afraid even the Fierce Bandit Ancestor from the Land of Chaotic Bandits won’t be able to sit still. He might actually come to Yunshui City to kill him personally!”

…

Only then did the crowd erupt into all sorts of exclamations and discussions.

At the same time, people began sending the news back to their families and Sects.

It was likely that even before Jiang Jichen returned to Yunshui City, news of his feat had already caused a sensation everywhere.

Aboard the Heaven-Gazing Crocodile, Zuo Feng said with an astonished look, “Master, you’re incredible! You’ve shaken the world the moment you returned.”

“I, your disciple, have gone through countless life-and-death battles and killed thousands of bandits, all to barely earn the title of ‘Purple Saint’!”

“And then there’s you! You slaughter three kings with one sword strike, shake the world, and become a legend!”

Jiang Jichen stood with his hands behind his back, a proud look on his face. “Zuo Feng, all fame and glory are but floating clouds. Only one’s true Dao Heart is Eternal!”

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s incredibly profound words, Zuo Feng was filled with even more admiration.

“Zuo Feng will remember this. I’ve been too concerned with fame these past few years, straying from my true path and neglecting my cultivation. If Master hadn’t arrived in time today, I would have truly died here, failing to live up to your teachings.”

Zuo Feng lowered his head and spoke with gravity.

“Mm, it’s fine. You’re still young. You just need to temper your character more!”

With these words, Jiang Jichen wasn’t posturing; he was stating a fact.

Although he himself didn’t look old, he had been reborn into this body. In his previous life, he had lived for an extremely long time.

He had experienced countless life-and-death situations, hardships, and desperate plights, so his character had naturally been tempered to an extremely high Realm.

Chatting as they traveled, the two soon arrived at Yunshui City.

Yunshui City was still the same, yet it gave off a sense of decay.

Above the main gate, the light of the suspended Cloud Water Sword was somewhat dim.

Few people were entering or leaving the city gates.

Security was tight, with everyone being inspected upon entry and exit.

“Although the Celestial Corpse Sect’s last attack was repelled, I’m afraid it won’t be long before they make a comeback.”

Zuo Feng said with a worried tone.

His master, Ancestor Xuanqing, was still in seclusion healing his injuries, and there was no telling when he would emerge.

‘The next time the Celestial Corpse Ancestor attacks, Yunshui City will probably be in grave danger.’

“The Celestial Corpse Sect alone couldn’t have stirred up such a storm. It’s all because there’s someone backing the Celestial Corpse Ancestor!”

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly spoke up.
