Chapter 590: Chapter 588: Kill Without Mercy

"And me!"

"And me!"

Almost at the same time, two more delicate shouts rang out.

It was Hua Xiaoling and Ye Rou. They had appeared as well.

They now stood by Jiang Jichen’s side. The Demon Phoenix Aura allowed them to remain unaffected by the black flames.

As for the Hell Evil Spirits, for some unknown reason, they were all swarming toward Jiang Jichen, with very few attacking the women.

All the Hell Evil Spirits were like a frenzied mob, constantly gnawing at Jiang Jichen’s physical body.

However, Xuanyuan Qingyi, Hua Xiaoling, and Ye Rou understood. Jiang Jichen was drawing the Hell Evil Spirits to himself for their sake, so they would no longer be attacked.

They were deeply moved and became even more determined not to let Jiang Jichen’s breakthrough be interrupted.

But the three women had misunderstood Jiang Jichen slightly.

His goal was indeed to draw more Hell Evil Spirits to himself, but it wasn’t just to protect the three women from their attacks.

More importantly, he wanted to desperately use the horde of Hell Evil Spirits to temper his body and achieve a successful breakthrough as quickly as possible.

The three women stood guard in front of Jiang Jichen, while he desperately pushed for his breakthrough behind them.

"You’re courting death!"

The Nascent Soul Ancestor was now truly enraged.

His repeated failures to kill Jiang Jichen had not only cost him all his prestige, but were also forcing him to constantly consume his already limited lifespan.

Facing the three women, he stopped holding back and truly unleashed the power of the Nascent Soul Ancestor Realm.

SMACK!

SMACK!

SMACK!

The three women were sent flying, with only Xuanyuan Qingyi remaining unharmed.

Hua Xiaoling spat up blood, her body covered in cracks. She had nearly been blasted apart.

Fortunately, she had comprehended the Ancient Sword Scripture. Her Sword Skill was incomparably exquisite, allowing her to dissipate most of the force.

Furthermore, she possessed a miraculous Healing Spiritual Vein. Though her injuries were severe, they weren’t life-threatening.

Ye Rou’s Spear Skill was unparalleled, but her strength was no match for the Nascent Soul Ancestor. She too was knocked back, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

She had suffered considerable injuries.

With just the first blow, even the three of them combined could not stand against the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

"Fall back! I’ll take his next attack!"

Xuanyuan Qingyi told Ye Rou and Hua Xiaoling to retreat.

She knew that if the two of them took another hit from the Nascent Soul Ancestor, they would be in danger of perishing.

"Xuanyuan Qingyi, you’ve only been cultivating for thirty years. Even with your talent, do you really think you can stop me?"

The Nascent Soul Ancestor’s voice was already filled with murderous rage.

"You think too highly of yourself. On the path of cultivation, age doesn’t always equal strength. Take you, for example—hundreds of years of cultivation, and this is all you amount to. If I were you, I’d have just taken a block of tofu and smashed my own head in long ago."

"We’re both Nascent Soul Ancestors, yet you’re among the weakest of them. A truly Strongest Nascent Soul Ancestor could crush all of us with a single finger. But you... hehe!"

Xuanyuan Qingyi’s words were incredibly sharp.

Her taunts nearly caused the Holy Mountain’s Nascent Soul Ancestor to use up the rest of his lifespan from sheer rage.

However, Xuanyuan Qingyi had truly hit a sore spot.

Although he was a Nascent Soul Ancestor, he could only be considered a pseudo-Ancestor, and his lifespan was nearing its end.

He had to consume his lifespan with every move he made, making him truly one of the weakest types of Nascent Soul Ancestors.

But if he could seize the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower, it would solve his body’s problems, allowing him to leap into the ranks of true Nascent Soul Ancestors in one fell swoop.

Therefore, if Xuanyuan Qingyi dared to stand in his way, he would kill her!

A mysterious iron shard appeared in the Holy Mountain Grand Elder’s hand.

As he channeled his power into it, it suddenly transformed into a colossal iron sword and slashed toward Xuanyuan Qingyi.

It was a fragment of a mysterious iron sword!

A mere fragment, yet it could unleash such astonishing might. It was terrifying.

The phantom of the iron sword tore open the void as it slashed toward Xuanyuan Qingyi.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Qingyi’s best option was naturally to dodge its edge.

But with Jiang Jichen, Ye Rou, and Hua Xiaoling behind her, they would be attacked if she dodged.

A cold sneer appeared in the Holy Mountain Grand Elder’s eyes; he had clearly anticipated that Xuanyuan Qingyi would not dodge.

Xuanyuan Qingyi’s Cyan Blade Treasure Sword was already pushed to its limit, its cyan glow flickering endlessly as its Sword Qi condensed to its strongest state.

The Human Emperor’s Technique surfaced in her mind. She condensed it onto her sword and met the giant iron sword head-on.

CLANG!

The Cyan Blade Treasure Sword clashed with the great iron sword. Xuanyuan Qingyi was forced back, and the cyan Battle Armor on her body shattered inch by inch before turning into a stream of cyan light that flowed back into her body.

This was her Spirit Fusion Battle Armor. Xuanyuan Qingyi no longer had the power to sustain it, so it automatically vanished, retracting into her body.

This showed just how unimaginably severe Xuanyuan Qingyi’s injuries were from that one blow.

The Nascent Soul Ancestor also had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He was injured too. ℯℯ𝑙.

Xuanyuan Qingyi had actually managed to injure a Nascent Soul Ancestor. If she were allowed to grow for a while longer, it was unimaginable—she could truly rival a Young Venerable.

Everyone who witnessed it was utterly shocked.

But being injured only made the Nascent Soul Ancestor even more crazed and reckless.

His eyes were bloodshot as he charged forward to kill once more.

"Xuanyuan Qingyi, you’ve lost all your combat strength. You can die now."

"Once I obtain the Immortal Demon Illusion Flower, I will achieve the true Nascent Soul Ancestor Realm!"

"Then I will return to the Heavenly Dao Realm, become a Supreme existence overnight, and be worshipped by the masses! Haha..."

The Holy Mountain Grand Elder laughed maniacally as the black iron shard once again transformed into a giant iron sword, slashing down at Xuanyuan Qingyi.

Xuanyuan Qingyi stood there, without the strength to move. She could only watch helplessly as the great iron sword fell toward her.

If this sword truly landed, she would undoubtedly be shattered into countless pieces, perishing here.

Ye Rou and Hua Xiaoling had no time to help.

"Weakest Nascent Soul Ancestor? You’re dreaming!"

However, at that very moment, a calm voice rang out.

Immediately after, the Holy Mountain Grand Elder discovered that Xuanyuan Qingyi, who had been standing before him, had vanished.

In her place stood a bare-chested Jiang Jichen, his body circulating with terrifying Undying Power.

As the great iron sword slashed down, Jiang Jichen simply raised his fist casually.

BOOM!

An incomparably terrifying force surged forth, and the great iron sword in the Holy Mountain Grand Elder’s hand disintegrated.

At the same time, he was blasted back over ten meters before he could barely stop himself.

PFFT!

His body shuddered, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"This..."

Everyone watched this scene in utter shock.

And Xuanyuan Qingyi found that her position had been switched; she was now beside Ye Rou and Hua Xiaoling.

Ahead, Jiang Jichen was bathed in a golden glow, looking extraordinarily divine and martial, like an emperor descending upon the mortal world.

"You... you actually broke through so quickly!"

the Holy Mountain Grand Elder exclaimed, his face pale.

The other people from the Holy Mountain by the Fire Abyss also turned deathly pale, their eyes filled with terror.

"If I didn’t break through, how could I kill you all?"

Jiang Jichen gave a chilling smile.

Then he turned to the three women behind him and said, "The three of you rest and heal. I’ll handle everything!"

As he spoke, he drew the three women into his Magical Artifact Space.

Then, he strode toward the Holy Mountain’s Ancestor.

At this moment, Jiang Jichen was brimming with murderous intent.

Just now, if he had been even a split second slower, the three women and he would have all perished here.

Now that he had successfully broken through, all his enemies would be shown no mercy!
