Chapter 431 - 429: Shocking Turn
"God Slaying—Sword!"
A somewhat muffled voice came from within the vines, and a sharp glint flashed through Jiang Chen’s exposed eyes.
A cerulean-gold light shot from his eyes like a rainbow streaking across the sky, carrying a supreme and inviolable majesty!
It caused the diving Fu Hai’s expression to falter. He was momentarily stunned, and his fierce attack paused for an instant.
And in that moment of hesitation...
Jiang Chen had already activated the tip of the God-slaying Sword.
His aura rapidly receded, weakening as his cultivation plummeted from the Union Palace Realm Ninth Stage all the way back to his original Sixth Stage of the Union Palace Realm.
Even his skin seemed to become dry and aged. After expending a massive amount of Divine Thought Power and ten years of his lifespan...
Jiang Chen had finally activated the Innate Divine Technique granted by his Martial Soul’s third awakening—the God Slaying Sword!
SWISH!
The God-slaying Sword floated within his body. Its tip became incomparably brilliant as it shot out and fused with the Spirit-Slaying Sword.
In an instant, the entire Spirit-Slaying Sword began to radiate a heaven-piercing light, becoming incomparably sharp.
SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!
Fierce Sword Qi erupted from Jiang Chen’s body, continuously severing the vines wrapped around him.
BOOM—
With a jolt of his arms, Jiang Chen finally broke free from the vines’ restraints.
He was immediately met with an incomparably violent wind. It felt like knives carving into his flesh as it blew against his face.
Jiang Chen’s icy gaze fell upon the source of the storm—Fu Hai.
"You’re not worthy of killing me!"
Jiang Chen said indifferently.
With a fluid motion, he raised his arm and swept the Spirit-Slaying Sword outward.
The tip of the God-slaying Sword, now attached to the Spirit-Slaying Sword, erupted with an incomparably fierce light. A black glow undulated amidst the swirling wind and snow as an overwhelmingly powerful sword strike slashed toward Fu Hai.
This sword strike was incomparably sharp!
This sword strike arrived with overwhelming force!
This sword strike would slay all foes!
This was...
The God Slaying—Sword!
BOOM!
The unparalleled Sword Aura crashed against the spear’s glow, and like two sharp points meeting, they erupted in a blinding flash of light. Jiang Chen’s figure was pushed back continuously, but the sword in his hand pressed forward relentlessly. The black light on its tip flared, and the entire Spirit-Slaying Sword became incomparably violent and powerful.
CRACK...
With a crisp sound, the sword strike sliced right through the spear’s glow.
Immediately after, the black Sword Aura descended upon the Martial Soul warhorse. The horse let out a pained cry as its head was severed.
"H-How is this possible?"
Fu Hai’s expression changed drastically, revealing a trace of panic and terror. He gripped his Long Spear and held it horizontally before him, but how could he possibly block Jiang Chen, who was wielding the God Slaying Sword?
CLANG!
Amidst a crisp sound like metal striking metal, Jiang Chen’s black Sword Aura directly snapped the High-level Celestial Tier Profound Weapon Long Spear in two. The unparalleled Sword Aura cut through the War God Martial Soul and surged entirely into Fu Hai’s body.
Fu Hai’s whole body trembled.
His expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
His body began to swell, starting from his chest. His abdomen, limbs, and head all expanded as if he were a balloon being inflated.
His eyes widened in despair and disbelief as he roared, "No! No! I don’t want to die..."
BOOM!
His abdomen was the first to give way, bursting open.
This was followed by an endless, overlapping series of booms from Fu Hai’s shoulders, limbs, and chest... until finally his head exploded like a stomped watermelon with a final, massive BOOM. His entire body burst apart, spraying blood in all directions.
It dyed a patch of the sky red!
"No..."
The unwilling roar and cry of a Human King Realm Powerhouse echoed between heaven and earth.
His entire body had burst apart.
A glint flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes. He reached out into the air, and a force pulled all of Fu Hai’s Essence Blood and Martial Soul into his Profound Yellow Melting Furnace, devouring them.
Previously, Fu Shan had died too quickly for Jiang Chen to collect his Essence Blood and Martial Soul.
He couldn’t let Fu Hai go to waste!
This was the Essence Blood and Martial Soul of a mighty Human King Realm Powerhouse—a peerless Treasure Medicine!
Jiang Chen’s gaze shifted to Wang Xiao. He grinned and said, "You’re next!"
"I... fuck..."
Under Jiang Chen’s gaze, Wang Xiao shuddered, and his expression changed abruptly.
The scene of Fu Hai’s death was still vivid in his mind.
Even the two of them together were no match for Jiang Chen. How could he possibly fight him alone?
Wang Xiao turned to flee.
Jiang Chen sneered, "You made me lose ten years of my lifespan. Where do you think you’re going?"
With a flicker of movement, Jiang Chen gave chase.
In the distance...
It was the Royal Family and Ice King Race’s turn to panic. "Damn it, Fu Hai is dead too? This is bad! Wang Xiao is in danger! Hurry and save him!"
Yuan Zeng, Yuan Jiu, and the other powerhouses from the Purple Wind Clan immediately moved to block them. "He’s just a piece of trash about to die. Why bother saving him?"
"You want to save Wang Xiao? Did you ask for our permission?"
Yuan Zeng and the others felt a rush of vindication!
The faces of the Purple Wind Clan powerhouses were all brimming with smug smiles.
When they had wanted to save Jiang Chen earlier, the powerhouses from the Royal Family and Ice King Race had said the exact same thing to them. Now, they were returning the words verbatim in the blink of an eye. The feeling was incredibly satisfying for the Purple Wind Clan’s members!
"Damn it..."
The powerhouses of the Royal Family and Ice King Race were furious but helpless.
They could only watch as Jiang Chen caught up to Wang Xiao!
"God Slaying Sword—Slash!"
As he was fleeing frantically, Wang Xiao heard Jiang Chen’s indifferent voice from behind. He shuddered, and a glance from the corner of his eye scared the soul out of him!
An unparalleled Sword Aura was slashing through the air toward him!
SWISH!
The heaven-piercing sword light directly submerged Wang Xiao.
With a grasp of his hand in the air, he caught Wang Xiao’s body and discreetly activated the Heaven-Swallowing Secret Technique. The Martial Soul and Essence Blood were collected in the Profound Yellow Melting Furnace. A gout of Blazing Fire then shot from his palm, enveloping Wang Xiao with a SIZZLE and burning him to ashes!
Another Human King Realm Powerhouse had fallen to Jiang Chen’s sword!
One man, one sword, had slain three Human Kings in a row!
At this moment, outside Purple Wind City, the gazes of all the powerhouses on Jiang Chen turned incomparably solemn, filled with deep awe and shock!
The Fifth Prince, Bing Sheng, trembled with rage. "Just where did this monster come from? He actually killed two of our Royal Family’s Human King Race elders! This is a complete and utter humiliation!"
"A Human King Realm clan elder from my Ice King Race also died by his hand! The Ice King Race and he are irreconcilable enemies!"
The powerhouses from both clans were furious.
Bing Sheng cast a cold gaze toward the Ice King Race powerhouse beside him and said, "Elder Wang Feng, if we don’t eliminate this kid, how can our two clans ever show our faces in the Eastern Continent again?"
"What does the Fifth Prince mean?" Elder Wang Feng looked at Bing Sheng.
The killing intent in Bing Sheng’s eyes intensified. He raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture. "Have the Celestial Bright Clan Elder take action!"
"The Celestial Bright Clan Elder?"
Wang Feng was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and nodded. "Alright, I’ll have the Celestial Bright Clan Elder return at once!"
The Celestial Bright Clan Elder he spoke of was the second strongest expert in the Ice King Race, at the Ninth Stage of the Human King Realm!
If he were to act, Jiang Chen would surely die!
However, just as Wang Feng was about to send a message calling for the Celestial Bright Clan Elder’s return, a seven-colored light—incomparably dazzling and terrifying—suddenly appeared in the Celestial Vault, in the battlefield reserved for the three great Human Emperor Realm experts.
The seven-colored light rolled and churned, stretching for tens of thousands of miles...
It lay strewn across the Celestial Vault.
Beams of light condensed into ribbons, layered one on top of the other. And at the same moment this seven-colored light appeared, a huge tremor shook the entire Eastern Continent...
