Chapter 585: Chapter 583: Nickname: Killing God

Hearing the name "Jiang Jichen"!

And seeing the brilliant burst of Seven-Colored Spiritual Light!

The faces of the six members of the Human Race instantly turned ashen.

’To think that the person we mocked earlier was him!’ ’We thought he was weak, told the old man to ignore him, and felt he deserved to die.’

But now they discovered he was unbelievably powerful.

In his eyes, they were the ones who were as weak as ants.

’We were the ironic ones, the laughable ones, the ones who didn’t know our place!’

The group thought in terror.

Jiang Jichen, however, no longer bothered to hide his identity and reverted to his true appearance.

"That’s right, it’s me. As a Sect Leader destined to challenge the Holy Mountain, do you really think I care that you’re from the Heavenly Dao Realm?"

With a beauty at his side, Jiang Jichen naturally wouldn’t miss a chance to show off.

Hua Xiaoling watched from the side, her eyes filled with tenderness and adoration as she gazed at the incomparably powerful and high-spirited Jiang Jichen.

Jiang Jichen’s single sentence left the dozen or so Nascent Soul Old Monsters from the Heavenly Dao Realm pale and utterly silent.

Just moments ago, they had been high and mighty, impossibly arrogant.

Now, their arrogance was replaced by sheer terror.

By now, who didn’t know of Jiang Jichen’s moniker, the "Killing God"?

He had carved a path of blood wherever he went!

From the Land of Chaos City to Six Paths Mountain, he had slaughtered an unknown number of experts.

Most notably, when the Holy Mountain’s Eighteen Saint Envoys attacked him simultaneously, he had instead slain twelve of them.

And yet, Jiang Jichen had still managed to escape, remaining free and unfettered.

The Law Enforcement Young Hall Master’s clone, the six great wanted criminals, the top three experts from the Six Paths Illusion Realm’s rankings... all had fallen by his hand.

Weren’t every single one of them countless times stronger than these cultivators?

Yet Jiang Jichen had annihilated them all.

And on his path of flight, who knew how many masters he had slain, staining his entire route with blood.

Because of his frenzied slaughter, people had given him the nickname "Killing God."

It was a title forged in life-and-death battles, built upon a mountain of blood and bone.

This name now carried a supreme authority that struck terror into the hearts of all who heard it.

And now, this very person stood right before them.

Fear and despair bloomed in the hearts of the dozen-plus Nascent Soul Old Monsters from the Heavenly Dao Realm.

They struggled with all their might!

But the Light of Restriction, condensed from Seven-colored Spiritual Power, was so powerful that they couldn’t budge it in the slightest.

In that moment, the dozen or so Nascent Soul Old Monsters from the Heavenly Dao Realm truly understood the meaning of helplessness.

Now, they could only stand there, waiting to be slaughtered.

"Jiang Jichen, we are willing to submit! We beg you to let us go!"

"Yes! From now on, if we see you, we’ll take a detour. We won’t cause you any trouble."

"Jiang Jichen, we all have legitimate standing in the Heavenly Dao Realm. We hope you won’t bring disaster upon yourself!"

...

The Nascent Soul Old Monsters from the Heavenly Dao Realm were begging for mercy, but their tone was stiff and still laced with threats.

Jiang Jichen let out a cold laugh. "I’m already a wanted criminal in the Heavenly Dao Realm. Do you think I’d care about killing a few more of its brutish cultivators?"

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen took out the Soul Refining Banner. With a single sweep, the bodies of the dozen-plus Nascent Soul Old Monsters exploded. Their Spirit Infants shattered, and their Divine Souls were absorbed by the banner.

Hua Xiaoling floated over to help Jiang Jichen collect the Storage Bags the men had dropped.

She didn’t miss a single one, intending to give them all to Jiang Jichen.

"What’s mine is yours. You’re being too formal, Hua Girl. You should take them and use them for your own Cultivation."

Jiang Jichen said magnanimously.

"But... there are over twenty Ghost Soul Stones in here!"

Hua Xiaoling said.

Jiang Jichen smiled gently. "They’re just Ghost Soul Stones—material possessions. If they can raise your Cultivation and increase your strength, then that would make me the happiest."

"Besides, with my strength, collecting Ghost Soul Stones is an easy matter."

Hua Xiaoling nodded and put away the Storage Bags.

At that moment, she was filled with a sense of bliss.

On the other side, the few Human Race Cultivators watched as the Heavenly Dao Realm Nascent Soul Old Monsters, who were boundlessly powerful in their eyes, were easily annihilated with a mere wave of Jiang Jichen’s hand.

The shock they felt was unimaginable.

An endless fear also spread through them.

"Lord Jiang Jichen! We’re all of the Human Race! Please, spare us!"

The six Human Race Cultivators shouted in terror, begging for mercy.

"Whether I spare you or not, you shouldn’t be asking me. You should be asking the old man!"

"And another thing. You aren’t members of the Human Race. You’re animals. Thank you very much."

Jiang Jichen replied dispassionately from the side.

His words made the six of them want to die from shame.

But to save their own lives, they knelt before the old man. "Uncle, we were wrong! Please, just this once, forgive us! After all, we’re from the same race. We’re your juniors by blood!"

Jiang Jichen thought the old man might soften and let them go.

But the moment that thought crossed his mind, a Treasure Sword appeared in the old man’s hand, and he unleashed a flash of Sword Light.

THWACK!

THWACK!

THWACK!

Six heads flew into the air at almost the same instant, sending arcs of blood toward the sky.

The old man had acted with shocking decisiveness and ruthlessness.

He hadn’t said a single word before cutting them all down.

The six died with their eyes wide open, clearly in disbelief that the normally kind old man could be so savage.

He hadn’t even deigned to give them a response before slaughtering them all.

The old man calmly collected their Storage Bags and the few Ghost Soul Stones within, presenting them to Jiang Jichen. "Young Master Jiang, these should be yours. This old man thanks you for saving my life."

Jiang Jichen pushed the Storage Bags and Ghost Soul Stones back. "Old man, these belong to you. There’s no need to give them to me. Besides, I’m not in need of such things."

Jiang Jichen had acted not only because of the old man’s earlier kind warning, but also because he admired the man’s character.

’After all, how many in the Cultivation World today still have any principles?’

’How many would face death to uphold them?’

The old man wasn’t particularly powerful, but he was willing to sacrifice his life rather than cross his own moral line.

That was a cultivator’s principle, one worth defending with his life.

In truth, Jiang Jichen could tell that the old man’s original Cultivation was far beyond his current level. It seemed his strength had been severely diminished due to a damaged Divine Soul.

’He’s probably lost more than thirty percent of his power!’

Otherwise, he would undoubtedly be a formidable existence, infinitely close to the level of a Nascent Soul Ancestor.

This time, the old man did not refuse. He put away the Storage Bags and Ghost Soul Stones. "Young Master Jiang, this old man has a presumptuous request. Would it be possible for me to join your Luochen Sect? My family and I would also like to move into the Luochen Domain."

"I am willing to follow you to the death. I only ask that you shelter my wife and daughter and keep them safe!"

Jiang Jichen casually took out more than ten Ghost Soul Stones and gave them to the old man. "The Luochen Sect would be thrilled to welcome someone like you, old man. These dozen or so Ghost Soul Stones should be enough to restore your Divine Soul. I hope you can return to your Peak Realm!"

The old man spoke, "This subordinate, Liu Yang, will surely be of assistance to you, Sect Leader, if I can return to my Peak Realm."

Hearing such confidence from Liu Yang, Jiang Jichen grew curious. ’What exactly is he skilled in?’
