Chapter 560: Chapter 558: Third Brother, Second Brother Thinks Highly of You

The man and the skeleton were, of course, Jiang Jichen and Little Gray.

Han Qing had activated the Black Tortoise Pearl, using its Black Tortoise Defense to block the attack and create an opportunity for Little Gray and Jiang Jichen.

They seized that chance and instantly killed twenty people!

These people were actually quite strong. In a direct confrontation, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Jiang Jichen and Little Gray to kill them, let alone do so in the middle of a crowd of enemies.

Moreover, Little Gray and Jiang Jichen were decisive. The moment their surprise attack succeeded, they immediately retreated.

Jiang Jichen had just finished a huge battle, and his Golden Body Immortal Power was severely depleted. It wasn’t the right time for him to engage in close-quarters combat as a Body Cultivator.

"This..."

It all happened in an instant. By the time the others reacted, Jiang Jichen and Little Gray had already returned to their group.

Where the experts from the Six Paths Realm stood, only twenty mangled corpses remained, their blood staining the mountaintop.

The onlookers in all directions were also stunned by this scene.

Jiang Jichen’s group had perfect, seamless coordination, and their methods of attack were impossible to guard against.

But most terrifying of all was Han Qing’s astounding defense.

"So that guy wasn’t just bragging. His Defense Dao is truly nigh-invincible!"

"But he could only take one hit. Han Qing’s Earth Spirit Power is already depleted. He can’t possibly activate the Black Tortoise Pearl again."

...

The crowd murmured in astonishment.

Meanwhile, the faces of the group from the Six Paths Realm were grim, and a flicker of fear flashed through their eyes.

"Don’t be afraid, everyone! That kid could only activate the Black Tortoise Pearl once. His Earth Spirit Power is spent."

"Let’s focus our power and blast them one more time."

"Jiang Jichen just used up his ultimate kill techniques. He’s nothing to be afraid of. Go!"

Their leader shouted.

At the same time, the group gathered their power once more and launched another devastating attack.

More than eighty experts from the Six Paths Realm attacked simultaneously. Their attacks merged into a storm that swept toward them again.

Han Qing howled, "Damn you! You dare look down on Master Han? You’re in for big trouble now!"

At that moment, Han Qing’s eyes were bloodshot. He pushed his Earth Spirit Technique to its absolute limit, even resorting to a Secret Technique.

He squeezed out every last drop of his latent potential.

"Who said I could only do it once? Master Han can take it twice and still stand tall! Fuck it!"

Han Qing was truly going berserk, fighting for his life. As he activated the Secret Technique, cracks appeared on his skin, and blood seeped out, staining his clothes red.

But he didn’t care in the slightest. He was putting it all on the line.

WHOOSH!

The Earth Spirit Power around Han Qing erupted in a frenzy once again as he prepared to reactivate the Black Tortoise Pearl and its Black Tortoise Defense.

The light of the Black Tortoise Pearl, which had dimmed, flared brilliantly once more, enveloping everyone.

This time, the light was even brighter than before, the defense was stronger, and the Black Tortoise phantom it generated even showed a hint of life.

BOOM!

The storm-like barrage of attacks descended again, but it was once again blocked by Han Qing’s Defense Dao.

An Earth Spirit Vein Master’s defense is invincible!

The crowd finally witnessed the terrifying power of an Earth Spirit Vein.

Even though Han Qing didn’t have a pure Earth Spirit Vein, the power he unleashed was already world-shaking.

If it were a truly pure Earth Spirit Vein, a Fifth Category Cultivator, how powerful would that be?

A chill ran down their spines just thinking about it.

As far as anyone knew, no truly pure Spirit Vein Master—that is to say, a Fifth Category Cultivator—walked the world.

PTHOO!

After withstanding the blow, Han Qing finally buckled. His body trembled, and he spat out several mouthfuls of essence blood.

However, he remained standing, his legs trembling but not collapsing.

This time, Jiang Jichen didn’t charge out with only Little Gray. Instead, he led his entire group into the enemy ranks.

With Han Qing falling to the rear, Jiang Jichen and Little Gray took the lead. The rest of the formation remained unchanged.

In Jiang Jichen’s hands, the Holy Sword was replaced by Sinking Mountain.

His intention was not to kill. He executed the Basic Saber Technique—sweeps, lifts, smacks, slashes, thrusts, uppercuts...

The movements were perfectly natural, flowing like water, exquisite down to the smallest detail.

His intention was not to kill!

He only used it to block attacks, while casually knocking enemies flying behind him.

Anyone struck by Jiang Jichen’s Sinking Mountain had their Spiritual Power scattered, their bodies sent flying backward uncontrollably.

Then, the people behind him would strike, killing the enemies that flew toward them.

For those who attacked from the sides, Little Gray would intercept and block their attacks.

Little Haas, Shui Yunyao, and the others would launch sneak attacks to take them down.

On the other hand, the experts from the Six Paths Realm had just unleashed their Strongest attacks, only to be blocked by Han Qing. They were in a state of mental turmoil and couldn’t react in time.

"Ah, no...!"

"Help me!"

Some fell into desperate situations, crying out in despair.

Through teamwork, Jiang Jichen’s group was unstoppable.

Their fighting spirit soared, and their combat power multiplied.

They had never imagined that a team battle could be fought like this.

They were the weaker side striking the stronger, yet they held an overwhelming advantage.

PTHOO!

CRACK!

BANG!

Some were slain by Treasure Swords, others were obliterated by Magic Techniques, and still others were smashed apart by fists.

People fell one after another.

Of the more than eighty people, over thirty were slaughtered in a short time.

The rest had no will to resist.

Because their alliance was temporary, they were not united, but scattered like loose sand.

And because they were completely intimidated, fear filled their hearts, and their fighting spirit was gone.

So, in the end, the group scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing for their lives.

The joint force of experts from the Six Paths Realm, who had come to seize Jiang Jichen’s peak, ended up suffering a disastrous defeat.

In this battle, the one who played the biggest role was clearly Han Qing.

"Haha... A bunch of useless weaklings! Master Han can just stand here and scare the piss out of you!"

"I told you you’d be in big trouble for messing with Master Han. Scared now, huh?"

Han Qing stood his ground, shouting arrogantly.

Jiang Jichen walked over and patted Han Qing’s shoulder. "Master Han, not bad. You have a bright future!"

At the same time, Jiang Jichen nodded to show his encouragement and concern.

But with that light pat from Jiang Jichen, Han Qing’s trembling legs shook even more violently. He swayed and almost fell over.

In truth, he had activated a Secret Technique, exhausted his potential, and depleted his Spiritual Power. He couldn’t move at all now.

He was only able to remain standing through sheer force of will.

If he weren’t trying to maintain his image and see his posturing through to the end, he would have collapsed on the ground long ago without a care for how he looked.

Then, Jiang Jichen asked again, "Master Han, seeing how you are, do you need a hand?"

Han Qing gritted his teeth. "Boss, I’m still okay!"

So, Jiang Jichen walked away, but then Little Gray appeared.

Little Gray tilted its head back, sizing up Han Qing. Its stare made Han Qing’s heart pound with dread.

He had a gut feeling that the most terrifying thing was about to happen.

And indeed, after a glance at Han Qing, Little Gray’s small bony toe began to scratch on the ground. A line of words appeared: ’Third Brother, Second Brother has high hopes for you. Keep up the good work!’

After writing the line, Little Gray floated up until it was eye-level with Han Qing.

Then, it extended its Little Bone Hand and patted Han Qing’s shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"PAT!"

But Han Qing, finally unable to hold on, lost his footing and was knocked to the ground by Little Gray’s gentle pat.

Seeing this, everyone in the crowd could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
