Chapter 557 - 555: Who Else But Me?

Chapter 557: Chapter 555: Who Else But Me?

Jiang Jichen was indeed trapped within a confined area.

Furthermore, three deadly attacks truly threatened his life.

The crowd couldn’t help but gasp in alarm upon seeing the attacks from Huangfu Xinghe, Tianyao, and Zhou Fang.

"With such deadly arts, even if Jiang Jichen is at the pinnacle of the Body Refining Realm, he cannot escape the fate of utter destruction."

"Heavenly Sword Inquiry, the Dao of Slaughter, and the Creation Dao—all three combined! It’s terrifying!"

...

But just as their cries of alarm began, Jiang Jichen had already unleashed a slash of his saber.

The Blade Aura flickered, piercing the heavens, its light illuminating the world.

In that moment, it was as if time itself stood still.

Everything in the Blade Aura’s path was severed in two.

The Heavenly Dao Sword Aura, severed!

The Slaughter Remnant Banner, severed!

The Creation Divine Talisman, severed!

And the world-sealing Light of the Dead, severed!

Tianyao, Huangfu Xinghe, Zhou Fang, and the leader of the Death Organization all watched this scene in utter disbelief.

In that instant, their vision was filled by that single, world-shocking, peerless Blade Aura.

"Wh-what kind of Saber Technique is this? It’s so terrifying!"

"For a moment, it was as if time stopped. What kind of power is this?"

The crowd was stunned into disbelief, their hearts filled with wonder.

With a single slash from Jiang Jichen, his Sword Intent flooded the heavens as he unleashed a peerless Saber Technique.

This was the Second Form of the Great Wind Saber Technique: Wind and Cloud World!

The Sword Shadow moved like the wind, sweeping across the heavens and blotting out the earth!

While still in a daze, Tianyao, Zhou Fang, Huangfu Xinghe, and the leader of the Death Organization were all sent flying.

Terrifying saber wounds appeared on their bodies.

"No!"

The men cried out in terror.

They turned to flee for their lives.

But Jiang Jichen’s gaze locked onto Tianyao. "I said I would personally come to the Six Paths Illusion Realm to kill you," he stated calmly. "Therefore, you cannot escape!"

Locked in place by Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought, Tianyao’s expression changed drastically.

"Hmph! Killing someone on my peak? Are you acting as if I’m not here?"

Just then, a cold snort rang out like a clap of thunder, causing heaven and earth to rumble.

Simultaneously, a massive hand that seemed to cover the sky pressed down from above, descending upon Jiang Jichen.

It was Zhongg Qiu. He had made his move.

Ranked fifth on the list of masters in the Six Paths Illusion Realm, he was one of the few powerhouses in the Undead region who answered to none but the Young Venerable.

The moment he struck, the very air seemed to shift. He commanded the Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth, and a single palm from him could blot out the sky.

The giant palm descended, blocking Jiang Jichen’s path.

’Surely Jiang Jichen can’t get to me now.’

Tianyao breathed a sigh of relief and began to slow his pace.

’Jiang Jichen is stronger than we expected, but with Zhongg Qiu taking action, this will all be over soon.’

’Jiang Jichen will be crushed. He won’t be able to make any more trouble.’

At that moment, the massive hand blocked his path, intending to pin him down right there.

A cold smile flashed in Jiang Jichen’s eyes.

Sinking Mountain vanished, and the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword appeared in its place.

Facing the giant hand, Jiang Jichen slashed out with his sword.

Sky-reaching Sword!

This one sword strike contained the Great Dao of the heavens.

It seemed poised to sunder the heavens and ascend to the Ninth-Realm;

It seemed ready to traverse the Star River and make the very stars of the Nine Heavens fall.

The Sword Aura sliced through the giant palm, splitting it in two. Nothing now stood in Jiang Jichen’s way.

He could not be suppressed.

He took a single step, using Mountain River Shadow, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared before Tianyao.

"You..."

He had never imagined it would end like this; that Jiang Jichen was so powerful.

One lethal technique after another... his Physical Strength and Spirit Cultivation Power seemed endless.

Zhongg Qiu, too, was stunned that his Heaven-Covering Palm had been sliced apart.

He, the fifth-ranked master of the Six Paths Illusion Realm, couldn’t even stop a mere Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator.

The shame and anger were palpable.

"Jiang Jichen, I will tear you to shreds!"

Zhongg Qiu roared, charging at Jiang Jichen from afar.

But Jiang Jichen paid him no mind, acting as if he didn’t even exist.

His target right now was Tianyao.

A promise made, a promise kept. Kill!

Jiang Jichen directly unleashed the ultimate, exclusive Sword Technique of the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword.

Wandering Dragon Under Heaven, Illusion Annihilation; True Dragon Incarnation, my true power unleashed!

Back then, when Snowplum executed this Sword Technique with her level of Cultivation, her power was boundless, and she had easily annihilated the old monk.

Now, although Jiang Jichen’s Cultivation was worlds apart from Snowplum’s, he was also far stronger than his former self.

He could now begin to unleash a portion of the complete Sword Intent’s power.

An illusory shadow of a Wandering Dragon appeared, stirring the clouds and wind, and wrapping Tianyao within its coils.

Then, a Sword Aura carrying a trace of a True Dragon’s might tore through the Void, annihilating Tianyao completely.

From this day forward, the Heavenly Sword Alliance was without its Young Master, and the Chaotic City Heavenly Sword Sect was without its Sect Leader!

But by this time, an enraged Zhongg Qiu had already reached him.

And not just him. The group of Undead Cultivators behind Zhongg Qiu also condensed their attacks and unleashed them upon Jiang Jichen.

By this point, Jiang Jichen seemed to have exhausted his repertoire of techniques, as if he had finally reached a dead end.

What’s more, Zhongg Qiu’s attack, brimming with furious killing intent, was immeasurably powerful.

One Undead Killing Seal after another pursued Jiang Jichen as if they were alive, sticking to him like shadows.

"The petty arts of the Undead? Nothing to be afraid of!"

Jiang Jichen stated calmly.

He activated Golden Body Protection, and a golden Undying Power enveloped him.

Then, a tattered, old Soul Refining Banner appeared in his hand.

"Heaven perishes, earth perishes, all ten thousand souls shall perish with them!"

Jiang Jichen let out a cold cry, pushing his Seven-Colored Perfect Realm Divine Soul Power to its absolute limit.

He channeled his boundless Divine Soul Power into the Soul Refining Banner, unleashing its full might with a powerful forward shake.

WHOOSH!

A ghostly wind howled, surging forward in great, rolling waves.

Hidden within the wind were the roars of countless enraged souls, charging forward with bared fangs and claws.

PFFT!

The golden light around Jiang Jichen shattered. Struck by the Undead Technique, he was wounded and spat out a mouthful of blood.

But that was the extent of it.

The strongest aspect of the Undead Seal was its attack on the Divine Soul.

But how could it compare to the power of Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Perfect Realm Divine Soul?

Even a powerful Undead Cultivator like Zhongg Qiu couldn’t hope to shake him with a Divine Soul attack.

All it could do was inflict some damage on his physical body.

Given Jiang Jichen’s current Life Cultivation, it was a trivial injury.

In contrast, the Soul Refining Banner he wielded possessed terrifying destructive power against Undead Cultivators.

"Th-that... isn’t that the evil Soul Refining Banner from the Undead Realm? Ah! How did it end up in your hands?"

Zhongg Qiu was sent flying by the ghostly wind. A heart-wrenching pain tore through his Divine Soul, and his body began to crack and crumble, on the verge of disintegrating.

But just then, the light of a Secret Artifact emerged from within his body, enveloping him.

It finally halted the damage.

But he was already a wretched sight to behold, and his soul had become incredibly weak.

Harnessing the profound power of the Secret Artifact, Zhongg Qiu instantly teleported a kilometer away.

His figure flickered a few more times before he vanished at the foot of Six Paths Peak, having made his escape.

Jiang Jichen, his face pale, glanced at the remaining group of undead. "Are you going to leave on your own," he asked, "or do I have to sweep you off?"

The remaining undead trembled, then scattered like startled birds and beasts, fleeing for their lives as they scrambled down the peak.

And so, atop the peak, only Jiang Jichen remained.

He stood alone, looking down upon the world with an air of unrivaled supremacy that stunned all creation!
