Chapter 554 - 552: Taking a Mountain Peak for You

Chapter 554: Chapter 552: Taking a Mountain Peak for You

Huu Jun’s attendant was now ashen-faced.

All of his previous arrogance and condescension had vanished.

Before, it was as if he could decide these people’s fates with a single word.

But now, his own life was in their hands.

Even their Young Master, ranked twenty-fifth on the Six Paths Illusion Realm’s expert list, was no match for him.

He was now lying on the ground, beaten like a dog.

’In the eyes of that Spirit Infant Realm youth, I must be no different than an ant.’

’He’s already killed everyone else from the Xuyuan Sect. Why would he spare me?’

At that moment, it dawned on him!

Without a moment’s hesitation, he decided to retreat and flee.

For him, in the face of life and death, so-called loyalty wasn’t worth a damn.

So, without a second thought for his Young Master’s life, he turned and fled.

However, the instant he moved, the Spirit Infant Realm youth appeared right in front of him.

"You..."

Huu Jun’s attendant looked as if he had seen a ghost.

He had clearly seen Jiang Jichen dozens of meters away, yet now he had appeared before him as if he had teleported.

’That speed... it’s too fast!’

At that moment, his eyes filled with terror, and his heart sank with despair.

"I said I’d kill every last one of you. You are no exception!"

Jiang Jichen’s voice was cold.

"You... You killed the Young Master of the Xuyuan Sect! The Xuyuan Sect is the second-largest Sect in the Human Realm! They won’t let you get away with this!"

Huu Jun’s attendant cried out in terror.

"That will be my problem after you’re dead. You don’t need to worry about it."

Jiang Jichen replied coldly, mercilessly swinging the Sinking Mountain in his hand.

"I’ll take you down with me!"

Knowing he was about to die, Huu Jun’s attendant somehow found a burst of courage and went all out against Jiang Jichen.

The Ultimate Kill he had been gathering in his hands for some time now surged toward Jiang Jichen, who was right in front of him.

The Golden Undying Power surged around Jiang Jichen. He neither dodged nor evaded, his Sinking Mountain continuing its resolute sweep.

Heaven-Breaking Saber!

The first form of the Great Wind Saber Technique.

With the force to topple dead trees, the power to cleave the very heavens, and the will of invincibility—who could possibly stand against it?

It was an absolute sweep!

Even the surging Power of Destruction was shattered by the fearsome slash.

SPLAT!

In the end, Huu Jun’s attendant was cleaved in two, dying instantly.

Jiang Jichen didn’t stop there. The Soul Refining Banner appeared in his hand, and he swept it toward Huu Jun, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog.

WHAP!

A sinister wind swept past. Huu Jun’s body exploded, his Spirit Infant was annihilated, and his Divine Soul was reaped by the Soul Refining Banner.

And with that, just as Jiang Jichen had promised, he had killed them all.

His expression was serene, as if he had just handled a trivial matter.

Then, he suddenly turned, his gaze landing on something in the distance.

Everyone’s attention was already on him, so they couldn’t help but follow his gaze into the distance.

There, the battles for two of the Dao Peaks seemed to have concluded, with the victors having claimed them.

The other, defeated forces had been driven down and were now gathered on the main, giant peak.

Seeing Jiang Jichen’s movements, everyone wondered the same thing: ’What is he planning now?’

But then Jiang Jichen suddenly turned to Hua Xiaoling and the others. "That peak over there looks nice. What do you say I take it?"

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, Hua Xiaoling, Qing Xun, and Blood Hand were all momentarily stunned.

They thought they must have misheard.

The surrounding crowd, including the forces that had just been defeated, had also heard what Jiang Jichen said.

"What did he say?"

"Did I hear that right?"

"He actually said he’s going to take one of the peaks!"

...

The crowd cried out in utter, disbelieving shock.

The forces that had just been driven from the peaks were especially incredulous, looking at Jiang Jichen as if he were an idiot.

"Where did this idiot come from? Even we, the Cang Beast Sect, were defeated, yet a mere Spirit Infant Realm cultivator from the Human Race dares to run his mouth!"

"Is he deliberately mocking us?"

"Our opponents were too strong; it’s not that we were weak! But for some lowly Spirit Infant to spout such nonsense... this is a direct insult! I’ll go kill him!"

...

The members of the recently defeated factions roared in anger, ready to attack Jiang Jichen.

They felt that for this Spirit Infant brat to say such things right after their defeat was a clear taunt, a deliberate attempt to humiliate them.

Hua Xiaoling, realizing Jiang Jichen was speaking to her, grew a little excited.

She had unconditional faith in him and replied sweetly, "I know you can do it, Little Chen."

"But it’s still dangerous! I don’t want to see you put yourself in harm’s way, Little Chen!"

Perhaps, of everyone there, only Hua Xiaoling believed that Jiang Jichen was serious and that he could actually succeed.

It was a belief that required no justification, a form of absolute trust.

However, she also didn’t want Jiang Jichen to put himself in danger, so she added her conflicted thoughts.

Jiang Jichen smiled confidently. "It’s too crowded here. We should go up to that peak. The view is better, and no one will be there to disturb our sweet talk."

"Hua Girl, you just wait here. I’m going to take a peak and give it to you!"

Jiang Jichen’s voice was clear and resonant, echoing for all to hear.

Those who had just been cursing and muttering immediately fell silent, staring dumbfounded.

The Spirit Infant Realm youth had actually started walking, heading straight for one of the peaks.

This...

The scene was utterly shocking!

A mere Spirit Infant Realm youth was declaring to everyone that he would seize a Dao Peak.

What’s more, his reason left everyone speechless.

He was going to attack a Dao Peak just to find a quiet place to romance a woman.

In the Six Paths Realm, the faces of many male cultivators turned grim.

"He’s arrogant beyond belief! Does he think he can conquer a peak just because he wiped out a few people from the Xuyuan Sect?"

"How ignorant. It’s laughable. If he knew who was on those peaks, he’d come back with his tail between his legs, pissing himself in fear."

"On each of those peaks is at least one expert from the top ten of the Six Paths Illusion Realm list, and they aren’t even the strongest ones up there."

...

The male cultivators watched the ridiculously arrogant Jiang Jichen, all of them predicting his failure and mocking him.

But the female cultivators of the Six Paths Realm watched his receding figure, their eyes filled with adoration.

Because they had just heard it all. This young man from the Human Race was risking his life, making such a bold declaration, all to conquer a peak for a woman, just so they could share a romantic night together.

Regardless of the outcome, his fearless, heroic spirit, all for the sake of the woman he loved, had already won them over.

"How wonderful! Who is he? I wish I could be his woman and have a spectacular, cross-realm romance!" said an Undead Female Cultivator.

"A man so heroic, yet so romantic... This one likes him. Even one night of passion with him would leave me with no regrets in this life," a terrifying-looking Beastman female cultivator said in a guttural voice.

"A man like that... if he can really take a Dao Peak, he’ll be perfect. I, Asuqing, will have to pursue him myself!" chimed in a peerlessly beautiful Asura Female Cultivator.
