Chapter 2196 - 2240: One Against All Sages

Chapter 2196: Chapter 2240: One Against All Sages

The Black Sword in his hand slashed again, mercilessly cleaving toward the Sage’s body.

He was clearly intent on utterly annihilating him!

"Stop!" Jian Wuchou roared, using Instantaneous Movement to appear despite his grievous injuries.

The other Sages roared in fury as well!

Shattering the body of a Great Venerate was one thing.

But if a Sage were to be killed right in front of them, where would Sword Central’s honor be?

The Mid-stage One Calamity Realm Sage was scared out of his wits.

But sensing his companions rushing to his aid, he calmed slightly and retreated, saying, "Just you wait..."

Jiang Fan’s expression was placid as he said coolly, "You’re not going anywhere!"

"Grow!"

In an instant, the Evil Sword swelled to a thousand zhang long, targeting not only its initial victim but also the Sages rushing to the rescue!

SWOOSH!

A tri-colored light flashed across the world!

The Sages in the distance had witnessed the sword’s power before and didn’t dare face it head-on, hastily dodging aside.

That momentary hesitation allowed the Black Sword to sweep past them mercilessly.

The body of the Mid-stage One Calamity Realm Sage was instantly shattered!

His soul shot out in terror, fleeing toward the Void.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes. He raised the Bone Tube and blew toward the fleeing soul.

A soul steel needle instantly shot out and annihilated the soul on the spot!

All the Sages and Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators present were left stunned.

He destroyed his Merit Divine Stele and shattered his body.

And in the end, he didn’t even spare the soul!

Just because the man had threatened to cut off Liu Qingxian’s fingers, Jiang Fan had utterly obliterated him, body and soul!

An immense chill washed over everyone’s bodies.

Those who harbored ill will toward Liu Qingxian hurriedly concealed their animosity, not daring to make another move.

Jiang Fan, holding the thousand-zhang Evil Sword, lifted half a corpse on its tip and pointed it at the crowd.

"Liu Qingxian is my woman."

"Let this man be a warning to anyone who dares to harm her!"

His words fell like a hammer, silencing the dark, oppressive cloud of Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators from Sword Central.

But the Sages were burning with rage!

This was a direct, public insult to the Sages of Sword Central!

"Junior, who gave you the courage to act so wantonly in my Sword Central City?" a Two Calamities Realm old woman demanded, stepping forward with a grim expression.

The terrifying aura of the Two Calamities Realm shook the very heavens and earth.

With her taking the lead, one Sage after another stepped forward.

In the blink of an eye, twenty Sages had gathered.

The auras they exuded coalesced into a host of tangible, endless war swords!

The Two Calamities Realm old woman’s face was dark. "For killing a Sage of our Sword Central City, you must pay the price!"

Fuyun Great Sage’s eyes narrowed, and he was about to scoff.

But Jiang Fan waved his hand, facing the twenty Sages alone with a cold glint in his eyes.

’Good, you’ve all revealed yourselves!’

"I’ll play along to the very end!"

With a wave of his hand, thirteen other Top-grade Spirit Swords flew out. Including the Evil Sword in his hand, that made fourteen!

This time, Jiang Fan did not form the Dayan Sword Array.

Instead, he activated the Lotus Heart Sword Inference Scripture and, enduring immense pain, severed a sliver of his own soul.

As the Cultivation Technique circulated, this sliver of soul became a seed, extending fourteen invisible tendrils that embedded themselves into the fourteen swords.

This allowed Jiang Fan to control all fourteen Spirit Swords simultaneously.

"Sword Wings!" he growled. The fourteen swords split into two groups, appearing on either side of him.

At first glance, they looked quite similar to Jian Sankuang’s own sword wings.

The only difference was the number of swords; the wings didn’t look nearly as full.

His flight speed was likely not as fast as Jian Sankuang’s, either.

But against One and Two Calamities Realm experts, it was more than enough!

"Isn’t that Senior Jian Sankuang’s Sword Dao?"

"How does he know it? And he’s even managed to cultivate it! Could he have a special bloodline, too? One that can sense all the swords in the world?"

One of the Sages recognized it, his face a mask of confusion.

The Two Calamities Realm old woman’s face was grim. "All the more reason to capture him and get some answers!"

She glanced warily at Fuyun Great Sage.

He sighed and waved his hand. "Don’t look at me. I’ve already done my best to help you."

"As long as Jian Wuchou stays out of it, you can do as you please."

Hearing this, the Two Calamities Realm old woman looked toward Jian Wuchou.

He wiped the blood from his face, revealing a livid expression as he said grimly,

"What are you looking at me for? Fuyun Great Sage already said you can do as you please!"

"If that bastard dies, it’ll be because he wasn’t good enough!"

With confirmation from the two Great Sages, the Two Calamities Realm old woman had no more reservations. She looked at Jiang Fan with a sinister gaze.

"Brat, there’s no one left to protect you now!"

Jiang Fan replied coolly, "Is that so?"

CLANG—

The sword wings behind him flashed, and he shot forward with the speed of a Late-stage One Calamity Realm expert!

He charged toward the group, all by himself.

The Two Calamities Realm old woman’s face was full of contempt. "You overestimate yourself!"

The old woman scoffed. Two Merit Divine Steles appeared behind her, and a terrifying Power of Laws erupted like a dragon from the sea, coalescing into a dark cloud of chains above her head.

The other Sages also summoned their Merit Divine Steles.

More than twenty different Laws converged, throwing the surrounding world into chaos. The weather became erratic, alternating between sun, rain, and bitter cold as the natural order broke down.

This wasn’t the first time Jiang Fan had seen so many Sages.

But it was the first time he had faced so many of them alone!

"Laws, is it?" A sharp glint appeared in Jiang Fan’s eyes as he charged forward alone.

The Two Calamities Realm old woman’s eyes narrowed. "He’s seeking death. Let’s grant him his wish!"

The One Calamity Realm Sages behind her attacked one after another!

An overwhelming barrage of Law Chains shot toward Jiang Fan.

"Array Stones!" Jiang Fan pointed a finger, and eighteen black Array Stones appeared.

Countless Laws bombarded the Array Stones, only to be deflected.

Only a few aftershocks penetrated the defense and struck his body.

In response, Jiang Fan activated the Heavenly Separation Sutra and refined the residual power on the spot!

At the same time, he seized the opportunity to break through their defensive line and charge into their midst!

"Dayan Sword Array!"

The sword wings immediately coalesced into a thousand-zhang Nine-Colored Giant Sword that slashed viciously in one direction.

Four One Calamity Realm experts were in its path. They each summoned their Merit Divine Steles, forming a wall to block the blade!

Jiang Fan waved his palm, infusing the sword with the Triple Void-Flow Force.

The four Merit Divine Steles were sent flying with a BOOM. The four One Calamity Realm experts hiding behind them were both shocked and enraged, hastily summoning their Magic Artifacts to block the attack!

The dozen or so Sages on either side also attacked in a fury.

Law Chains, Top-grade Spiritual Artifacts, talismans, and even mysterious beams of immense power.

The sky was painted with a myriad of colors as world-ending arcs of light crisscrossed and collided.

The distant spectators could no longer even see Jiang Fan’s figure, which was completely engulfed in light.

Liu Qingxian clutched her chest, her breath catching in her throat.

’This... Can Jiang Fan possibly withstand this?’

With his hands behind his back, Jian Wuchou stated coldly, "A mere Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, challenging half of Sword Central City?"

"Utterly senseless!"

However, when the light faded, a scene that defied all expectations was revealed!

Jiang Fan... was completely unharmed!

Above his head hovered a black flag that controlled the winds of the world.

The attacks sweeping in from all directions were actually circling around him!!!

The Wind God Order Flag could control all the winds in the world, including the numerous shockwaves!

In the current melee, the shockwaves generated by the countless attacks were a boon to Jiang Fan, like a fish taking to water!

He said coldly, "My turn!"
