Chapter 689 - 686: Battle in the City

Chapter 689: Chapter 686: Battle in the City

The voice thundered in all directions, and the expressions of all who heard it changed drastically.

The disciples of the Celestial Corpse Sect, in particular, found it impossible to accept that their Ancestor’s physical body had been destroyed.

A Tier Seven Corpse Saint took a step into the void, coldly confronting Jiang Jichen.

"Jiang Jichen, you’re merely at the Holy Dao First Realm. Destroy our Ancestor’s body? In your dreams! A fool’s fantasy!"

"Brothers of the Celestial Corpse Sect, don’t believe him! Continue the assault on Yunshui City!"

The Tier Seven Corpse Saint’s voice reverberated in all directions.

It steadied the hearts of the Celestial Corpse Sect cultivators.

After all, it was a fact that Jiang Jichen was alone and only at the Saint First Realm.

And right now, the Celestial Corpse Sect held an absolute advantage!

Family after family and sect after sect were being massacred, their corpses refined into Corpse Puppets.

Jiang Jichen’s expression was impassive. He spoke to the void, "Whether human or corpse, kill all who resist!"

As Jiang Jichen’s voice fell, the void trembled, and figures began to leap out.

Their cultivation ranged from the Fifth Realm of Saint to the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm!

There were over a hundred of them in total!

And it wasn’t just in the sky; another group of cultivators appeared on the plains below.

Their strength ranged from the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Realm to the Saint Fourth Realm, and they numbered over ten thousand!

These people all came from the Land of Chaos.

Seeing this terrifying force that had appeared out of nowhere, both the Celestial Corpse Sect cultivators and the cultivators of Yunshui City were stunned.

The Luochen Sect in the Land of Chaos had only been established a dozen or so days ago. How could it possess such an immense force?

According to their intelligence, they only knew that a few Supreme Realm experts existed in the Land of Chaos.

They had never imagined that the Land of Chaos concealed such a powerful and terrifying force.

In reality, these people were all elite cultivators from the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

Jiang Jichen had no other choice. If he wanted to develop and expand his power quickly, his only option was to dispatch the members of the Luochen Sect from the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

Of course, once they stepped into the Mortal World and reached the Supreme level, they could never return to the Six Paths Illusion Realm.

"Kill!"

These were all battle-hardened cultivators, and a thousand of them had even participated in the great war on the Holy Mountain.

Now, they formed the vanguard, organizing into a battle array and charging forward.

They were practically invincible. Any living corpses, or even human cultivators, who stood in their way were all cut to pieces.

"Those who block our path die!"

Their voices were unified, shaking the heavens.

Jiang Jichen then pointed at the Tier Seven Corpse Saint who was staring back at him and ordered, "Someone, eliminate him!"

With just that single command, a Great Saint at the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm appeared. With a casual swing of his blade, he annihilated the Tier Seven Corpse Saint.

Everyone could see this scene unfold.

A single sentence from Jiang Jichen had such a powerful effect.

At this moment, who would dare question his words?

However, the slaughter in the city continued unabated.

After all, Yunshui City was vast, and many Celestial Corpse Sect cultivators had already penetrated deep into its core.

At the gates of the Su Family’s main hall, corpses were piled high.

Su Xuefei, drenched in blood, was still fighting relentlessly.

Most of her clansmen had already died in battle. The ones who remained—the old, weak, injured, and disabled—were hiding inside the main hall.

She was leading the remaining Su Family disciples, repelling wave after wave of attacks from the living corpses.

But the Su Family disciples were also falling one by one.

For some unknown reason, the strongest experts of the Su Family had all retreated to a mysterious forbidden ground in the deepest part of Yunshui City.

It wasn’t just the Su Family. The most formidable figures from the other Seven Great Families and Three Major Sects had also awakened.

But they completely disregarded the potential destruction of their families and sects, all entering the mysterious place in the deepest part of Yunshui City.

One had to understand, these awakened figures were boundlessly powerful. If they could recover to their peak state, they were all existences above the Supreme Realm.

However, these figures were as ephemeral as a night-blooming cereus. Immediately after awakening, they vanished into the forbidden ground in the depths of Yunshui City.

Even Supreme figures from the Academy like Xuanqing and others had entered the Academy’s forbidden ground and not reappeared.

Therefore, with the defeat of the Heavenly Sword Alliance’s Leader and the four Supreme Realm cultivators, Yunshui City was temporarily without any Supreme Realm experts.

This was why the disciples of the Celestial Corpse Sect were so arrogant, rampaging through Yunshui City unchecked.

All the great families and sects lacked a high-level expert to hold the line.

Thus, all the major powers were in danger of having their entire clan or sect wiped out.

Jiang Jichen led a team of ten Luochen Sect disciples, their cultivation ranging from the Sixth to Eighth Layers of the Saint Realm, deep into Yunshui City.

From a distance, he saw Su Xuefei being besieged by a group of Corpse Saints. Her body was covered in wounds, and she was in imminent danger of falling.

Around her, the Su Family disciples had all been slaughtered. Barely anyone was left alive.

Worse, many Su Family disciples had been refined into Corpse Puppets and were now attacking Su Xuefei alongside the enemy.

If not for the astonishing Cultivation Resources she had obtained in the Six Paths Illusion Realm and her own extraordinary talent, Su Xuefei would have fallen long ago. Her combat power far exceeded other Holy Dao Cultivators of the same level, giving her the ability to challenge those of a higher rank and fight many opponents at once.

But now, she had reached her limit and was trapped in a life-or-death crisis.

Her Spiritual Power was depleted. She had practically squeezed out every last drop of her Life Energy and could collapse at any moment.

But she couldn’t fall, because the people inside the hall were her dearest family.

A powerful conviction was the only thing sustaining her, allowing her to continue the fight.

However, when one’s strength is completely exhausted, conviction alone cannot be converted into power.

Jiang Jichen arrived at this very moment and said coolly, "Kill them all!"

The ten disciples behind him, ranging from the Sixth to Eighth Layers of the Saint Realm, received the order and charged out without hesitation.

PFFT!

PFFT!

PFFT!

It was a completely one-sided slaughter.

The strongest Celestial Corpse Sect cultivator here was merely a Tier Four Corpse Saint. Facing Jiang Jichen’s ten warriors, who were like a pack of wolves and tigers, they were easily massacred.

Jiang Jichen, meanwhile, flashed forward, appearing gracefully at Su Xuefei’s side.

Su Xuefei’s hair was disheveled and matted with blood as she swung her Treasure Sword.

When Jiang Jichen appeared beside her, Su Xuefei, acting purely on instinct, swung her sword at him.

Jiang Jichen easily snatched the Treasure Sword from her grasp. Only then did Su Fei see that it was Jiang Jichen.

Then, she went limp and fainted in his arms.

Jiang Jichen checked Su Xuefei’s condition and found that she was heavily injured and her power was completely drained.

Jiang Jichen casually transferred a stream of Undying Power into her body to temporarily suppress her injuries.

Then, he fed her a Healing Elixir.

"Leave one person here to guard them!" Jiang Jichen commanded.

Then, he led the remaining nine deeper into Yunshui City.

He feared that the Qing Family was in the same situation as the Su Family.

Therefore, Jiang Jichen and his nine followers soon appeared at the Qing Mansion.

The situation was just as he had expected: critical and perilous. ℯ

The two women, Qing Xun and Blood Hand, were fighting desperately, drenched in blood.

The other disciples of the Qing Family were also locked in a relentless battle with the living corpses.

Jiang Jichen’s group made a powerful move, slaughtering all the living corpses that were attacking the Qing Family.

Once Qing Xun and Blood Hand were safe, they joined the nine from the Luochen Sect and continued to slay the living corpses.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen vanished in a flash. He had begun to act alone.

Night had just begun to fall. Jiang Jichen transformed into the Dark Night King, and a merciless slaughter began.
