Chapter 720 - 717: The Way of Ruthless Slaughter

Chapter 720: Chapter 717: The Way of Ruthless Slaughter

The Nine Vein Spirit Infants of the two Supreme Realm experts from the Xia Family shot out.

Nine Vein Spirit Infants were shrouded in nine rays of Holy Light, protecting them and making them difficult to destroy.

They shot out in terror, trying to flee without a moment’s hesitation.

But Youu was overwhelmingly powerful. With a single slap, he obliterated the two Nine Vein Spirit Infants into clouds of blood mist before they even had a chance to struggle.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner had been lying in wait for this moment.

They both swept out, devouring and absorbing the blood mist and souls of the two Supreme Realm experts’ Spirit Infants.

This all happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that no one could react.

And in that same flash, Jiang Jichen used Position Shifting, swapping himself with Goddess Luoo.

The Sixth Layer of Saint Realm Cultivator holding a sword to Goddess Luoo’s neck was stunned for a moment, but Jiang Jichen used his body as a weapon and rammed into him with savage force.

CRACK!

The body of this Sixth Layer of Saint Realm Cultivator was torn to pieces, and his Six Vein Spirit Infant shot out.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner were faster. They swept out, annihilating, devouring, and absorbing it.

By the time the crowd reacted, Jiang Jichen had already flashed to Luoo Xiaoshuang’s side. With a sweep of the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment, he temporarily pulled her into the Poison Devouring Pearl Fragment Space.

"Rest inside the Magical Artifact Space for a while. Everything will be safe when you come out!"

Having sent the message, Jiang Jichen charged out to kill once more.

The crowd, having finally snapped back to reality, stared at the scene in utter shock, finding it impossible to believe.

Especially Xia Hao, who had been incomparably arrogant and tyrannical. Seeing his two Supreme Realm protectors annihilated by a single slap, the chasm that opened in his heart was simply indescribable.

Moreover, facing such a powerful Youu, he truly felt the immense danger of life and death.

With virtually no hesitation, he retreated at top speed, simultaneously activating a Defense Secret Technique without a second thought.

Youu’s expression was cold and hard, without a trace of change. From a great distance, he threw a palm strike at Xia Hao through the air.

SLAP!

Xia Hao was sent flying. The Defense Secret Technique on his body was completely shattered. He was flung several thousand meters away, crashing into the earth and disappearing beneath the strange soil, his fate unknown.

Normally, taking a palm strike from Youu was a death sentence.

Youu had no time to bother with such things now. He seized the moment and continued to attack.

Because he could already feel drowsiness washing over him, a sign that he was about to fall into a deep sleep.

SLAP!

SLAP!

SLAP!

At the last moment, Youu erupted with his full power. Among the crowd of Cultivators, the remaining eight Eighth Layer of Saint Realm Cultivators were all slapped into oblivion, turning into blood mist that was devoured by the Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner.

With that, only Cultivators at the Seventh Realm of Holy Dao and below remained on the field.

Youu also lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Jichen flashed to Youu’s side and brought him into the Poison Devouring Pearl Fragment Space.

In the end, only Jiang Jichen was left, facing a multitude of Cultivators at the Seventh Realm of Holy Dao and below.

Everything that had just happened had occurred in a brief instant.

It was like a dream. The strongest group of people present had their lives reaped like straw.

Fortunately, that terrifying, Strongest figure had finally fallen asleep and been put away by Jiang Jichen.

Now, with only Jiang Jichen left, what did they have to fear?

Wan Shan was undoubtedly the most excited and happiest person among them all.

Xia Hao’s two Supreme Realm protectors had been annihilated. Jiang Jichen’s powerful Guardian was asleep. Xia Hao himself had been sent flying, his fate unknown.

’Here and now, I alone am supreme.’

’All the treasures... I don’t dare say I’ll take them all, but I can definitely get the largest share.’

"Everyone, calm down! Let’s join forces, kill Jiang Jichen, and seize the treasures. Then we’ll divide them!"

"Please, trust me, Wan Shan! We’ll distribute them according to strength, and everyone will get a share! I’m not a tyrannical and rude person like Xia Hao."

Wan Shan declared loudly.

And among the crowd, he was indeed the most prestigious figure. With a single word, he brought the situation under control.

Moreover, since he had promised a distribution based on strength where everyone would get a share, they all heeded his words and quieted down.

At the same time, they all shared a single target. They turned to face Jiang Jichen, surrounding him.

"Didn’t they say Jiang Jichen’s Dao was about to collapse and that he had no combat power left? Why is he..."

"He must have used a Secret Technique to restore his combat power."

"But he’s just one man, and his Guardian is gone. Killing him together will be a piece of cake!"

...

The crowd murmured amongst themselves.

Wan Shan watched with satisfaction as everyone followed his command. Only then did he turn his gaze to Jiang Jichen. "Jiang Jichen, you’ve really exceeded my expectations. To think you’re still not dead after all that."

"But this is good too. You helped me get rid of my rivals, hahaha... Now, do you have any last words? I’ll allow you to speak them!"

Wan Shan laughed with smug arrogance, as if everything was completely under his control.

Jiang Jichen stood indifferently. Facing Wan Shan and the other Cultivators, his heart held only killing intent.

’These people... do they really think I’m some small prey they can hunt at will?’

’That’s... just their own ridiculous, self-righteous delusion!’

Jiang Jichen held the Black Short Sword in one hand and the Holy Sword in the other.

One long and one short, he could attack at any range, near or far.

His gaze swept over the entire area, and his voice was cold. "I became the Venerable of the Six Paths Illusion Realm and the new overlord of the Southern Continent. Do you think I relied on luck alone?"

"No. To achieve all this, I relied on... slaughter!"

"To forge my path forward, I will slaughter across ten thousand miles, until bones pile into mountains and blood flows like rivers!"

"Kill!"

Jiang Jichen’s final word, "Kill," shook the very heavens.

The Holy Sword in his hand danced and evolved, unleashing the Holy Dao Swordsmanship in a continuous, unending flow.

Seven-Color Sword Auras appeared like floating Illusions, layered and indestructible.

As his Sword Intent arose, it swept across millions of miles, surging between heaven and earth.

Two Principles, Four Symbols, Eight Trigrams!

The light of the stars shifted and transformed, a cycle of creation and destruction!

This was a Swordsmanship Anomaly, its might infinite.

Wherever it passed, it destroyed everything, reducing it all to the Void.

After unleashing the Holy Dao Swordsmanship, Jiang Jichen flashed forward, charging into the crowd of Cultivators.

The Black Short Sword transformed into streaks of black light, stabbing out at extreme speed.

Synchronized Sword Technique, Nine Shadows of One Sword.

And so, nine Cultivators had their Spirit Infants pierced and exploded, dying instantly.

Jiang Jichen went into a Frenzy, unleashing his path of merciless slaughter.

The crowd had only ever heard of Jiang Jichen’s name; this was the first time they had witnessed his slaughter firsthand.

Fast, precise, and effective!

Most importantly, he was truly, truly strong.

In a single instant, Jiang Jichen had already slain a hundred Cultivators.

Moreover, at close range, Jiang Jichen was invincible. It was a one-sided massacre.

What’s more, empowered by the Black Short Sword, he was like a tiger that had grown wings.

A genius Cultivator at the Sixth Layer of the Holy Dao had just finished forming his Ultimate Kill attack when Jiang Jichen flashed forward and crashed into him. Then, with a flick of the Black Short Sword in his hand, he sliced the man in half.

However, the rest of the Cultivators also reacted, flashing away in all directions to put distance between themselves and Jiang Jichen.

Leaving Jiang Jichen standing alone in the center!

But at that moment, Jiang Jichen spoke lightly, "Azure Heaven Killing Array, Soul Refining Banner, come!"
