Chapter 359: Chapter 357: Astonishing Sword Intent
Jiang Chen killed one of the prisoners.
His expression didn’t change.
However, Scar and his men were astonished.
Scar, in particular, was not only astonished—a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Good, kid. You dare kill my man? You must have a death wish."
As he spoke, Scar strode forward, his entire being exuding the aura of a Martial Master Ninth Heaven, his presence overwhelmingly oppressive.
The guards outside all shot to their feet.
They stared in horror, shocked that Jiang Chen had actually killed someone in the Death Prison.
"This kid is so arrogant."
"Killing someone the moment he arrives... Even though everyone here is on death row, it’s not his place to kill them as he pleases."
"Don’t interfere. Let Scar teach this kid a lesson."
The guards appeared outside the cell, but they had no intention of stopping the farce. Instead, they watched with great interest, ready for the show.
Jiang Chen watched Scar approach.
That powerful aura made his expression turn grave.
He knew how strong Scar was, yet Jiang Chen showed no fear. Instead, he tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
A treasure’s light glinted from the blade.
Scar’s gaze swept over the Cloud Mist Sword in Jiang Chen’s hand. He spoke with a sinister tone, "It’s actually a Treasure Artifact."
"You’re dead today. And your Treasure Artifact will be mine."
With that, he let out a great roar.
"Demon-Suppressing Palm! Now, die!"
After all, Scar was the Prison Tyrant. No one dared to defy him; every death row inmate in the Devil’s Prison was one of his lackeys.
For years, no one had dared to cross him.
But today, this new kid had killed one of his men right in front of him.
This was a monumental provocation.
Immediately, he unleashed the Demon-Suppressing Palm.
The moment he used his Demon-Suppressing Palm, a furious gale roared through the entire underground prison.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi gathered with the strike, forming a massive Palm Seal that slammed viciously toward Jiang Chen.
Seeing Scar use the Demon-Suppressing Palm, the other prisoners grew incredibly excited.
"Brother Scar has finally been provoked! His Demon-Suppressing Palm is unstoppable in the Martial Master Realm! Even a Martial King Expert would have to be careful when facing him!"
"This kid won’t last three seconds."
Everyone had complete faith in Brother Scar.
Even the guards outside were shaking their heads.
"Heh, this kid is finished."
"Scar hasn’t used his Demon-Suppressing Palm in a long time. The moment it appears, this boy is doomed."
"Let’s just enjoy the show."
Jiang Chen’s gaze gradually sharpened.
He had been thinking about how to escape this place, but now the Prison Tyrant was bullying him directly.
Jiang Chen was furious.
"Today, I’ll let you all witness my true power."
After all, Jiang Chen was a cultivator at the Martial Master Fifth Heaven.
Moreover, he possessed two powerful Cultivation Techniques: the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique and the Shadowless Sword Technique.
And he had many other methods he could use.
To intimidate these people, Jiang Chen decided to rely on pure strength to subdue the Prison Tyrant.
’Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique—Qi Stealing!’
Jiang Chen roared in his heart.
The moment he activated the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique...
"WHOOSH..."
The flow of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi throughout the prison instantly reversed direction.
"Huh?"
"What’s going on? Why can’t I absorb any Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi?"
"Yeah, I can’t absorb any either."
The prisoners and even the guards were all utterly shocked.
They discovered that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi around them had suddenly gone out of control; they couldn’t absorb any of it no matter how they tried.
For a Martial Cultivator, Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is the source of power. Without it, one’s Cultivation cannot be sustained, and their Combat Power will gradually be depleted.
This situation was terrifying.
But reality told them that they truly could no longer absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
When they focused their senses, they made a shocking discovery.
All the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi seemed to be flowing toward Jiang Chen.
"This is bad!"
"The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in my body is starting to flow in reverse! It’s about to leak out!"
Soon, someone cried out in alarm, having discovered something even more horrifying.
Qi Stealing—plundering the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. This allowed Jiang Chen to seize the absolute initiative in battle.
By preventing others from absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, he had already gained a significant advantage.
Scar’s expression also changed slightly when he discovered that the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was not only out of control but was also flowing toward Jiang Chen.
Soon, a tornado of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi formed around Jiang Chen, raging through the prison cell with him at its center.
"How is this possible?"
"How can this kid be so unorthodox?"
Even Scar was stunned.
He immediately knew this situation was not in his favor.
He roared again and charged swiftly toward Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen controlled all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the prison, constantly replenishing his own reserves while others couldn’t absorb any.
In fact, the others were lucky if they could just keep the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi from leaking out of their bodies.
This was the tyrannical nature of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique.
In addition to this, Jiang Chen simultaneously executed the Second Form of the Shadowless Sword Technique.
"Sword Intent Startled Swan."
In the Ghost Temple, Jiang Chen had comprehended the Second Form of the Shadowless Sword.
At this moment, all the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi immediately converged upon the Cloud Mist Sword.
"BUZZ... BUZZ... BUZZ..."
Under Jiang Chen’s control, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi howled incessantly.
Soon, a beam of sword light materialized around the Cloud Mist Sword.
This beam of sword light was just a tiny speck at first.
But soon, it grew to several meters in length.
And as the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi continued to gather, it grew steadily larger and longer.
Within a short time, a Sword Aura over twenty meters long had condensed around the Cloud Mist Sword.
This Sword Aura was utterly astonishing.
Its aura soared to the heavens, causing the entire underground prison to tremble unceasingly.
Whether it was the guards or the prisoners, their jaws all dropped in horror.
"What a powerful sword technique."
"This sword attack actually contains a trace of Sword Intent!"
"Heavens, this is the first time I’ve ever witnessed such Sword Intent!"
"This kid is only a Martial Master Fifth Heaven, how could he possibly comprehend Sword Intent?"
A series of sharp intakes of cold breath could be heard.
They were completely intimidated by Jiang Chen’s Sword Intent.
The Second Form of the Shadowless Sword: Sword Intent Startled Swan.
This was Sword Intent. Jiang Chen’s Sword Intent had already condensed into a heaven-shocking Sword Aura.
When the sword appears, it kills.
Scar had been charging toward Jiang Chen. After all, no matter how formidable Jiang Chen was, in his eyes, he was just a kid at the Martial Master Fifth Heaven.
But at this moment, Scar’s expression changed dramatically.
He stopped in an instant, his heart pounding with fear as he stared at Jiang Chen’s heaven-shocking Sword Intent.
For the first time in this prison, he felt a tremendous threat.
He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Brother, stop! Please, stop!"
The entire prison was trembling because of Jiang Chen’s Sword Intent. This was a level of power that even he, Scar, felt he might not be able to block.
He knew that if they really fought, he would likely be cut down by Jiang Chen’s sword.
A Martial Master expert who could comprehend Sword Intent was a terrifying existence.
Jiang Chen’s eyes were cold. "I can stop. But from now on, all of you will listen to me."
He spoke in a tone that allowed no room for doubt.
After all, with his pride, he could never be someone else’s lackey.
He had even been prepared to use the Second Form of the Shadowless Sword to kill the man called Scar.
Scar gave a bitter smile. "Alright, Brother—no, Big Brother! Please, retract your Sword Intent. We are willing to recognize you as our leader."
He knew that if he didn’t agree, when Jiang Chen’s sword came down, there would be nowhere for him to hide.
