Chapter 575 - 573: Bing Xuanchen’s Departure

Chapter 575: Chapter 573: Bing Xuanchen’s Departure

In their very first collaboration, Bing Xuanchen and Jiang Jichen displayed an astonishing level of coordination.

Even though they were grievously wounded, their teamwork allowed them to slay their opponents with ease.

Bing Xuanchen practiced both ice and dark-element Cultivation Techniques, and his Assassination Skill was second to none.

Every strike capitalized on a fleeting opportunity, executed with pinpoint precision.

Moreover, his attacks had a freezing effect that slowed his opponents’ movements.

But now, Bing Xuanchen was too gravely injured. With little power remaining, his Dao of Attack could no longer deliver a truly fatal blow.

But Jiang Jichen could!

Even though his Seven-Colored Spirit Body was severely damaged, its most casual application of the Dao of Attack was still lethal.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen once again activated Illusory Indeterminacy, pressing forward on his assault without a moment’s pause.

And Bing Xuanchen, who practiced the Shadow Following Secret Technique, was able to trail him like a shadow.

SHLICK!

Jiang Jichen brushed past a Pursuer. Before the man could even react, his body had been sliced in two and fell to the ground.

This sight sent a chill down the spines of the other enemies, and their previous arrogance vanished in an instant.

The mockery on their faces was replaced by grimness and terror.

However, they also noticed that both Jiang Jichen and Bing Xuanchen were coughing up blood nonstop, their movements growing even slower.

Clearly, they had reached their limit and were merely putting up a desperate, final struggle.

Therefore, despite losing more than a dozen men, no one was willing to let their efforts go to waste and retreat now.

"Don’t hold back anymore! They’re on their last legs, just barely hanging on!"

someone roared.

Corpses littered the valley floor, staining the earth with blood. The battle was exceptionally brutal.

In the distance, others had already sensed the battle and were now rushing toward them.

If those people were to arrive, their situation would become utterly perilous; they would face certain death.

Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Perfect Realm Divine Thought naturally sensed the newcomers’ approach.

Time was running out.

"Let’s go all out! We have to break out of this valley within twenty breaths!"

Jiang Jichen said.

Bing Xuanchen replied, "Don’t worry. Twenty breaths is more than enough to kill them all! Haha..."

The two of them charged out once more. Even when faced with the enemies’ most lethal attacks, Jiang Jichen didn’t retreat an inch, instead drifting forward to continue the slaughter.

They activated every Secret Technique at their disposal, wringing out the last dregs of potential from their bodies.

Like a final flare of brilliance before the end, their combat power momentarily returned to its peak, strong enough to unleash two Magic Techniques.

Jiang Jichen didn’t draw his Holy Sword or use Sinking Mountain. Instead, he flicked his finger, unleashing the Soul-destroying Finger Technique.

Rainy Sky!

A dense barrage of Seven-Colored Finger Lights filled the air, descending like a rain of rainbow arrows.

With this barrage of Finger Light, Jiang Jichen’s intent wasn’t to kill but to force them all out of hiding and herd them into a single area.

The Seven-Colored Finger Light was sparse in that one area, allowing them to dodge into it for safety.

The aura of the Seven-Colored Finger Light was so threatening that they didn’t dare to face it head-on.

And so, they were surrounded on all sides by a rain of Seven-Colored Finger Light, with an empty patch of ground in the center.

Suddenly, Jiang Jichen appeared in their midst!

"This is bad!"

Seeing Jiang Jichen suddenly appear, the men finally realized they had fallen into a trap.

But it was too late.

That split-second opening was all Bing Xuanchen needed to strike.

A wave of Sword Light flourished, sweeping through the world.

A Thousand Miles of Drifting Snow!

Sword Intent fell like snow, drifting for miles and freezing heaven and earth.

The dozen or so Cultivators were just about to channel their Spiritual Power and form a Magic Technique to fight back when their bodies suddenly stiffened. Their Spiritual Power froze, unable to circulate.

This all happened in a flash, but Jiang Jichen, standing his ground, had already flicked his finger again.

Silence of Ten Thousand Spirits!

The Third Form of the Soul Destruction Finger. Wherever the Seven-Colored Finger Light passed, the world fell silent, and all life was extinguished.

PFFT!

PFFT!

PFFT!

...

Because their Spiritual Power had been frozen in an instant, the dozen or so men had no way to dodge or block this Finger Technique from Jiang Jichen.

Wielding the Power of Annihilation, the Seven-Colored Finger Light moved as if it were sentient, piercing through everyone’s Qi Sea with flawless, deadly precision.

Then, the Power of Annihilation erupted, instantly extinguishing their life force.

Not a single person was spared; they all perished.

"Go!"

After finishing them off, Jiang Jichen didn’t pause for even a second. Gritting his teeth to keep himself from collapsing, he continued to race out of the valley.

No sooner had Jiang Jichen and Bing Xuanchen left the valley than a new group of Pursuers arrived on their heels.

If they had been a fraction slower, they would have been surrounded once more.

By this point, their strength was truly spent, and they had no energy left to fight.

If they were surrounded now, all they could do was wait for death.

"Follow me! I know a secret place where we can hide and escape our pursuers!"

Bing Xuanchen called out from behind him.

"If you knew about it, why didn’t you hide there before? Why insist on coming here?"

Jiang Jichen had overheard the words of the men from the Assassin Alliance earlier, so he could vaguely guess the reason.

Still, he asked the question aloud.

"For the Sleep-Inducing Flower. It’s a rare flower that can awaken someone from a deep slumber. My wife was struck by a vicious curse and fell into a sleep so deep I can’t wake her, no matter what I try. Only the Sleeping Flower can awaken her!"

Bing Xuanchen didn’t hide anything and answered frankly.

Jiang Jichen handed him the Sleep-Inducing Flower. "I hope your wife wakes up soon."

Bing Xuanchen accepted it without any false modesty. "Thank you."

"But if they find out you’re still alive, they’ll surely use your wife to threaten you."

The "they" Jiang Jichen referred to was, of course, Bing Xuanchen’s best friend, Yuan Hao.

"Don’t worry. Once I’ve recovered, they will be of no concern to me."

Bing Xuanchen said with confidence.

As they spoke, the two of them crossed the New Domain and arrived at a strange mountain range.

Jiang Jichen discovered that this place actually suppressed Divine Sense, making it difficult to spread out.

They found a cave within the mountains and hid themselves away.

At last, they had finally shaken off their Pursuers completely.

The two spent a full month recuperating in the cave.

Bing Xuanchen was the first to make a full recovery, returning to his peak condition.

Jiang Jichen had actually recovered long ago, but instead of leaving, he began to cultivate.

After unsealing his Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein, there were still many parts of his body that needed to be transformed.

He had not yet reached the most powerful state of the Seven-Colored Spiritual Vein’s Spirit Infant Realm.

So, Bing Xuanchen departed first.

"Brother Jiang, I see you intend to conquer the Holy Mountain. Once I have dealt with my own affairs, I will certainly come and join you!"

"Until we meet again!"

With a final word of farewell, Bing Xuanchen departed with a carefree air.

After Bing Xuanchen left, Jiang Jichen continued to cultivate in the cave.

One day, Jiang Jichen’s Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment suddenly flashed, and two stunningly beautiful figures emerged.

It was Qing Xun and Blood Hand!

They were the first to awaken from their comprehension of the Ancient Sword Scripture.

Hua Xiaoling was still in the middle of her comprehension. For some reason, the mysterious masked woman had also fallen into a deep state of enlightenment after viewing the Ancient Sword Scripture and had not yet awakened.

Youu was in a deep slumber.

Little Gray was also cultivating. It seemed to have reached a critical juncture, preparing to break through to the Cyan Soul Perfect Realm.

And so, in the entire cave, only one man and two women were now awake.

It seemed something was destined to happen!
