Chapter 1288: Comparing with This?
"After getting the Hundred Battle Order, of course, it’s used to show off."
Brother Cheng replied as if it was a matter of fact.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the standard answer that Bai Xing Daoist Venerable wanted.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly.
"The Hundred Battle Order is very powerful, but there are two potential threats to dominating Duan Yang Dao."
"One is Yuan Ke Daoist Saint, and the other is you!"
"If I don’t get rid of you, I won’t be at ease with this Supreme Treasure in my possession, don’t you think?"
He slowly drew his sword, his expression turning somewhat ferocious.
"So be a good person to the end, fulfill my wish, and let me kill you, how about it?"
This shameless statement almost made Lin Jing and Ming Jia and others explode with anger.
Even Fan Lei Daoist Venerable, who always wished misfortune upon Brother Cheng, couldn’t stand it anymore.
"I told you not to give it to him, but you insisted!"
"Now look at this mess, creating such an ungrateful wolf!"
"The Hundred Battle Order affects everything, how could someone like that be worthy of having it?"
"Utter foolishness! Ridiculous!"
"Alright, alright..."
Brother Cheng waved his hand: "Let me bring him back to the right path."
The crowd was speechless.
At this point, you’re still hoping the other party will return to the right path, are you kidding?
"Jiang Cheng, you don’t need to say anything."
Bai Xing Daoist Venerable held the Hundred Battle Order in one hand and a sword in the other, and the killing intent was unmistakable.
"It’s just that you’re too foolish to give away such a treasure!"
"Not killing you would be a disservice to your goodwill."
Brother Cheng helplessly spread his hands.
"You really don’t need to be so impulsive, you can still turn back now."
Previously, he was quite comfortable with Bai Xing Daoist Venerable, never really considering exterminating him.
His targets were always Yuan Ke Daoist Saint and the Heaven-breaking Alliance.
Others weren’t even on the list.
But unfortunately, ...
"Whatever you say now, it’s too late!"
To prevent future troubles, Bai Xing Daoist Venerable directly initiated the challenge.
When the Challenge Space successfully appeared, one side had only Jiang Cheng alone, while the other had an unhesitating 25 Daoist Venerables.
The disparity was so great it brought tears to the eyes.
And once entering the Challenge Space, Brother Cheng quickly discovered what was restricted.
This time, his Immortal Power was all restricted outside; moreover, such things as Origin Rule, Bloodline, Heroic Soul couldn’t be brought into the arena at all.
The only thing preserved... was the Divine Soul.
"You’re done for!"
The 25 Daoist Venerables didn’t summon weapons, because they couldn’t use Immortal Power or Rules here.
The power that came with weapons likewise could not take effect.
Here, the only thing that could be compared was the Divine Soul.
This made Jiang Cheng almost amused, believing that facing 25 Daoist Venerables this time, he would need to activate the system’s resurrection.
But the opponent chose to restrict what, but not the Divine Soul.
His Divine Soul is the Holy Soul, which is unequivocally shoulder to shoulder with Daoist Saint, far superior to Daoist Venerable.
Previously, when facing Ao Xiao and other Daoist Venerables in solo, the Holy Soul didn’t result in instant kills was because Daoist Venerables had many other means.
Now, since the opponent sealed all other means outside, only comparing Divine Souls...
This made him at a loss for words.
Were they afraid I couldn’t crush them, literally coming to surrender?
The service was too considerate.
"Hahaha, Jiang Cheng, we know your Sword Dao is strong, but you can’t use it now."
Bai Xing Daoist Venerable and others were rather proud, thinking they’d found a solution.
"We also know you have that Enlightenment Evil Technique, so we specifically sealed off Immortal Power, leaving the Divine Soul."
"This time, let’s see how you stir any waves!"
Setting the challenge to Divine Soul only was a perfect plan jointly devised by these 25 after a lengthy debate, analysis, and voting.
Brother Cheng sighed.
He just thought they looked so cute in their unfounded confidence.
"Actually, my Divine Soul is quite strong, stronger than yours..."
"Facing death, you’re still bluffing!"
One of the Daoist Venerables interrupted him sternly.
"We know your Divine Soul is quite outstanding, but here are 25 Daoist Venerables; the storm composed of 25 Divine Souls is enough to grind you into dust!"
"What will you use to block?"
"You think you’re a Holy Soul?"
Brother Cheng nodded honestly: "I really am a Holy Soul..."
"Shut up, why don’t you say you’re the Celestial Emperor?"
Bai Xing Daoist Venerable, who was the most boastful, cut him off impatiently.
"You really think you’re the top expert of the Primordial Immortal Realm, what a joke!"
As he said this, the Daoist Venerables around him couldn’t wait any longer and launched Divine Soul attacks on Brother Cheng.
Although only formless Purple Soul attacks, the entire Challenge Space had already turned into stormy waves!
This level of confrontation was far more dangerous than real weapons.
A tiny negligence often resulted in ruined foundations or silently falling.
As soon as Jiang Cheng faced at least ten Purple Souls attacking from all directions.
Each Purple Soul seemed like a Ten Thousand Ancient Demon Shadow from the abyss, carrying a terrifying pressure to devour and destroy everything.
Some disciples of the Mowu Sect watching from afar couldn’t see anything and weren’t attacked, yet instinctively showed fear.
Their cold sweat poured out, some trembled uncontrollably, hands and feet cold, screaming as they fell from mid-air.
These Purple Souls roared and rampaged, charging into Jiang Cheng’s Sea of Souls.
Without having ventured deep, they collided head-on with a Holy Statue slowly emerging in the darkness!
The Holy Statue was like a colossal mountain that had been resting in the depths of the ocean for countless years, suddenly emerging today.
More than a dozen charging Purple Souls were uniformly blocked.
Before they could organize another round of attack, the Holy Statue had fully emerged from the sea.
The dark night retreated, and the Holy Statue radiated brilliant golden light, illuminating the entire sky above the Sea of Souls with magnificence and sanctity!
Simultaneously, the more than a dozen Purple Souls invading the Sea of Souls, were like Residual Souls facing the scorching sun, suffered devastating blows.
"No!"
"What is that?"
"Holy Soul?"
"Impossible!"
The more than a dozen Daoist Venerables who had invaded Jiang Cheng’s Sea of Souls screamed in panic.
They tried to retract their Purple Souls, but it was already too late.
The holy chant resounded, as countless petals floated around the golden Holy Statue above the Sea of Souls.
Surrounding the Holy Statue, they danced like myriad colorful butterflies, adding a touch of divine elegance to the Statue.
And their Purple Souls became even more withered between breaths quietly.
As if treated as nutrients by those petals, the last trace of vitality was drained away.
Without any fanfare, the invading more than a dozen Purple Souls turned into streams of blue smoke, dissipating into the Sea of Souls.
Not a single trace could return.
And the owners of these Purple Souls all felt as if struck by lightning.
Some spat blood on the spot, some fainted unconscious.
Their Main Souls remained, but having their invading Divine Soul portion slaughtered inflicted unbearable pain upon them.
