Chapter 558: Chapter 306: You Lost to a Great Success Body Unparalleled Celestial Pride

"So, Junior Brother, you’d better worry about yourself. This is the last strike."

As his voice fell, Yang Zhao circulated his physical strength, and this time, the ground beneath his feet trembled. Fierce winds howled.

A giant dragon, even more massive than before, condensed once again. He took a step forward, his entire body flying toward Jiang Man. He struck out with a palm.

The giant dragon manifested around him, moving at his will, just like his palm. At this moment, the fierce winds locked onto Jiang Man. There was absolutely no escape.

"Meet my palm strike, and let me end your suffering," Yang Zhao’s cold voice rang out, forcing Jiang Man to face him head-on.

The powerful attack did not cause Jiang Man’s expression to change. He simply stood still, watching the other party roar toward him. At this moment, Jiang Man sighed. He opened his mouth and said in a voice that only he could hear, "Magic Skill, Second Volume, Light."

As his voice fell, a soft light was born from his flesh and blood, beginning to expand and condense. Finally, it formed into a faintly glowing feather coat that settled over his body.

Fierce winds howled, battering against his feather coat, but the light was not affected in the slightest.

Seeing Jiang Man’s sudden transformation, Yang Zhao was somewhat shocked, but he did not sense any aura of danger. Therefore, he instantly arrived in front of Jiang Man and brought his palm down. The giant dragon roared, descending along with it.

"Magic Skill, Third Volume, Physical Body Divine Descent." As Jiang Man’s voice rang out, his hand was already raised. In an instant, Evil God Power madly surged into his Physical Body, reinforcing it.

This was the first stance of the third volume of the Evil God’s Technique.

He immediately struck out with a palm, meeting Yang Zhao head-on.

BANG!

The palms of the two collided. For an instant, space seemed to freeze, followed by a massive boom. A storm of power unilaterally surged toward Yang Zhao.

BANG!

The giant dragon dissipated. Immediately after, a cracking sound rang out. It came from Yang Zhao’s wrist, followed by a continuous series of CRACKS. The fracturing rapidly extended from Yang Zhao’s wrist to his forearm, arm, shoulder, and torso.

Then, with a THUD...

Yang Zhao let out a miserable shriek, his body spraying a mist of blood. His entire body flew backward, crashing heavily into the ground, but he couldn’t stop. Instead, he tumbled at an extreme speed for dozens of yards before finally coming to a halt.

The moment he stopped, he tried to get up, but halfway up, the fractures in his bones caused him to collapse to the ground once more.

He channeled his power, and the light of lightning appeared in his hand, preparing to launch a new attack.

However, the moment the Magic Skill condensed, a foot stomped down.

CRACK!

Jiang Man’s foot directly crushed the Magic Skill.

"Argh!" Yang Zhao cried out miserably from the intense pain.

Afterward, he stared fixedly at the person in front of him. He couldn’t see his face clearly, couldn’t sense his aura, only this blinding light. He had seen it before...

Terror appeared in his pupils, but he didn’t cry out that name.

Jiang Man asked calmly, "Can you tell me who gave the order?"

Yang Zhao smiled miserably. "Why can you defeat me, even when I’m at Primordial Spirit Perfection? Is my aptitude really that poor?"

Jiang Man looked at him and shook his head slightly. "Not at all. Your strength is entirely capable of defeating me. You didn’t lose to me; you just lost to the Great Success Body of Heaven and Earth Unparalleled Celestial Pride."

Yang Zhao burst into loud laughter, feeling that the other party was humiliating him, and immediately ignited his Primordial Spirit.

BOOM!

Under the coverage of the Array, the sound of the explosion did not spread out. The power was suppressed; otherwise, the Array would not have been able to block it.

The light on Jiang Man’s body slowly vanished. With that strike just now, he had expelled a lot of toxins. His poisoning was lighter now, but the other party had been poisoned. If this was investigated, he wouldn’t be able to clear himself of suspicion no matter what.

"This is a huge problem," Jiang Man said, sighing heavily as he looked at Yang Zhao’s corpse on the ground. The other party had deliberately used his death to cause trouble for him.

"Who exactly are they?" Jiang Man was determined to figure this out.

If they were only targeting him, wanting to sever the future path of the Unparalleled Celestial Pride, that wasn’t a big deal. He would naturally think of every possible way to deal with it. But if someone wanted to use him to incite Meng Qiewei’s anger, then the situation was serious. Moreover, there would definitely be others taking action in the future, making the level of danger extremely high.

In theory, it was the Bai family, but was the Bai family really that bold? With an ancestor on the ranking list, as long as the Bai family didn’t act recklessly, they basically wouldn’t decline. Doing this didn’t align with their interests.

Jiang Man shook his head, no longer dwelling on these thoughts, and instead considered how to handle the upcoming trouble. After a moment of hesitation, he began to manipulate the Array.

Once he had taken control of the Array, he searched around to see where the Demon Beasts that his senior brother had mentioned were. Sure enough, he found a group of Demon Beasts that had appeared in the giant crater at some unknown time.

He threw a stone down, and they were awakened.

Subsequently, furious roars rang out, followed by a mad charge, as if they had sniffed out some peerless delicacy.

Song Wushuang and the others, who had been waiting, immediately noticed the Demon Beasts’ attack.

"Demon Beasts?" she said in astonishment. "Haven’t they all settled down?"

"They are Earth Spirit Beasts, a herd-living pack. The more there are, the stronger they become," the female Demon Beast, who had been reduced to a prisoner, kindly reminded them.

These Demon Beasts were extremely strong. Ordinary Demon Beasts would retreat at the sight of them; not only that, but they also had to prevent them from breeding. Once their numbers exceeded a certain limit, they would launch a beast tide for various reasons. It was a great disaster.

"How many of them are there?" Zheng Yan asked.

"A lot. Enough to kill your Primordial Spirit Perfection experts," the female Demon Beast said.

"It’s in Senior Brother Jiang’s direction. I wonder how they’re doing," Song Wushuang said.

However, very soon, they saw Jiang Man’s figure rapidly approaching.

"Let’s go. Senior Brother Yang is blocking them at the front!" Jiang Man’s voice rang out.

Not daring to hesitate, everyone quickly fled and then requested backup.

A long time later.

The people from the Zhenyue Bureau arrived at the first opportunity.

"Are you saying that Yang Zhao is now missing after trying to save you?" Senior Brother He asked, looking at the group.

Everyone nodded.

"Tell me the general course of events. Later, the people from the Sect will come to investigate and make a decision," Senior Brother He said. The inexplicable appearance of the Earth Spirit Beasts was somewhat abnormal, and he was more worried about there being other special circumstances.

After hearing the general process, he looked at Jiang Man with some suspicion. "In other words, you were actually the only one who saw the whole process?"

Jiang Man nodded.

Senior Brother He then asked Tao He and the others a question, "Did you know that Yang Zhao was coming to conduct interrogations today?"

They shook their heads.

"Then what has Jiang Man been doing during this time?" he asked again.

The answer he received was singular: Cultivation. Cultivation day and night. Everyone present could confirm this, because they had been on guard almost all day, while Jiang Man had been constantly engaged in Cultivation. He was engaged in Cultivation when they were working, and he was engaged in Cultivation when they were on break.

For a moment, Senior Brother He recalled Jiang Man’s report. The very beginning of it was about Cultivation. His impression of it was extremely poor.

"Alright, then you guys continue the interrogations." As he spoke, he took out some Elixirs and handed them to Jiang Man. "These are for healing. Recover yourself first. The people from the Sect should contact you about the specifics, but you don’t need to worry too much."

At the end, he suddenly asked, "What is your Cultivation?"

"Spirit, Fifth Layer." Jiang Man only mentioned Spirit.

Hearing this, the other party froze for a moment.

What did a Fifth Layer signify? The Cultivation Skill he practiced was absolutely not an ordinary one. Ordinary Cultivation Skills did not have a Fifth Layer; they only had the Early Stage, Mid-stage, Late Stage, and Perfection.

For a moment, he thought of the Nine-star Body Refining Method. Could this guy be walking the path of the Nine-star Series? It was terrifying just to think about it. ℴℴ𝘮

Afterward, Senior Brother He left. The interrogations continued, but the atmosphere had become delicate. When they looked at Jiang Man, there was a kind of scrutiny in their eyes, as well as some awe.

On the other side.

Having finished inspecting the area, Junior Sister Mo found Senior Brother He.

"Senior Brother, this isn’t normal. There are man-made traces," Junior Sister Mo said in a low voice. "The Array, as well as the Earth Spirit Beasts, were arranged in advance by someone."

"Who do you think it is?" Senior Brother He asked.

"It shouldn’t be Jiang Man," Junior Sister Mo said seriously. "He has made great contributions in the Zhenyue Bureau. There’s no need for him to bring this kind of trouble upon himself."

"Then it’s Yang Zhao?" Senior Brother He asked.

"It doesn’t seem like him either. He doesn’t have that much time. Especially with the Earth Spirit Beasts; he shouldn’t be able to transport them over silently," Junior Sister Mo said.

Senior Brother He looked at Junior Sister Mo and said, "Then what do you think is going on?"

"Were they attacked?"

"Yang Zhao chose the location, and Yang Zhao was the one who suggested interrogating them separately."

Hearing this, Junior Sister Mo was stunned. "He wanted to kill Jiang Man, but was killed in a counterattack by him? But what’s the deal with the Earth Spirit Beasts? Unless..."

Suddenly, Junior Sister Mo’s pupils contracted. She wondered if a higher-up wanted to kill Jiang Man. Otherwise, how could the Earth Spirit Beasts have been sent over silently?

Senior Brother He made a shushing gesture. "We’re just here to understand the situation. If it has nothing to do with the Evil God, we don’t need to intervene.

"Besides, Jiang Man is a member of the Zhenyue Bureau, so we naturally have to report this.

"He has been in Cultivation all this time; everyone can testify for him.

"It can be confirmed that the Array and the Earth Spirit Beasts have nothing to do with him.

"Currently, Yang Zhao is missing.

"Informing them of this much should be enough.

"They will come to their own conclusions regarding the rest."
