Chapter 2272: Chapter 2276: Too Heavy-Handed
"Sky Piercing Sword Technique!"
"Sky Piercing Sword Technique!"
"Fire Dragon Devouring the Heavens!"
A series of shouts erupted from Lin Hao and his group of five as a majestic aura exploded from them. Pure spiritual power poured into the giant sword above their heads. The sword trembled violently, increasing in ferocity, and surged toward Jiang Chen at lightning speed.
"Lin Hao and the others used combat skills!"
"All five used combat skills at once; are they trying to kill Jiang Chen in one move?"
"Haha, let him act wild again. This will show him the might of our Heavenly Sword Sect. What rubbish about being invincible in the same realm; it’s as if he doesn’t even know his own name!"
"Way to go, Lin Hao. Teach that arrogant kid a lesson!"
Excited cheers echoed from the edge of the forest.
Their Great Dao attack was so potent that even some late Divine Infant Realm cultivators watching had to nod in admiration. Such five points of attack, even they could only avoid the sharp edge.
"Hey, look at that kid. Is he too scared to move?"
A yell drew everyone’s eyes upward, focusing on the skinny silhouette targeted by the five attacks.
At this moment, Jiang Chen calmly observed the five incoming attacks below. His gaze was steady, his expression unchanged like a still pond, and his aura remained unshaken, as if he hadn’t noticed the looming threats.
Heavenly Sword Sect... truly only dominates the Divine Wood Talisman territory; these five are far inferior compared to those at the Mingqian Banquet.
Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
"No way, is that kid really frozen with fear?"
"Scared stiff, huh?"
"Heh, and he claims to be invincible in the same realm. Is it that he has a thick-skinned invincibility?"
"Hmph! Does that kid know he can’t withstand it, so he wants Elder Qin to intervene?"
Mocking voices arose, those spectating at the forest edge wore expressions of disdain.
"Jiang Brother, be careful!"
Lin Yuyan called out anxiously, gripping Qin Chaolan’s hand tightly. "Master, help Brother Jiang!"
"No need, that kid is quite strong. He’s supposedly invincible within his realm!"
Qin Chaolan spoke sarcastically, showing no intention to intervene.
Lin Yuyan’s expression changed. She clenched her teeth, producing a small sword as she prepared to leap into the air to assist Jiang Chen.
"Girl, don’t worry unnecessarily. Just watch!"
Qin Chaolan grabbed Lin Yuyan and looked up at Jiang Chen in the air, curiosity flashing in her eyes.
This kid, without revealing the power of the Great Dao or wielding a weapon, what is he planning?
In mid-air, the impending five swords were about to pierce Jiang Chen, who slowly raised his hand.
Buzz!
A sky-shattering presence emanated from Jiang Chen, causing Lin Hao and his group of five below to feel a suffocating pressure.
"Is this... pure spiritual power?! This kid is going to counter all five attacks with only spiritual power!?"
Qin Chaolan’s expression shifted as she stared in astonishment at Jiang Chen above.
Wow!
A gigantic hand appeared over Jiang Chen’s head, formed entirely from spiritual power, so realistic it seemed tangible!
Swoosh!
Jiang Chen waved his hand toward the five massive swords before him.
Whoosh!
The huge hand struck down, smashing onto the five swords fiercely.
Boom!
An explosion sounded as all five swords burst into chaotic Great Dao power, quickly dissipating in the air.
The massive hand continued its trajectory, moving to strike down toward Lin Hao and his companions after breaking the five swords.
"Impossible!"
Lin Hao and his gang’s faces changed dramatically, feeling a deep sense of dread from the looming hand.
"Drink!"
The five shouted in unison, their bodies once again emitting Great Dao Divine Light, surrounding themselves with protective barriers.
Bang bang bang!
A series of muffled sounds overlapped as the barriers around the five shattered like paper against the hand, the large hand slamming into the five.
Thud thud!
Muffled thuds sounded as Lin Hao and his group crashed heavily to the ground, the rock platform beneath them caving in. Cracks spread outward from their positions all the way to the platform’s edge.
"What just happened?"
"Lin Hao and the others... defeated!?"
"How is this possible!? Jiang Chen took them down using only spiritual power!"
"How can he be so strong? If he launched a Great Dao attack..."
The spectators gasped in disbelief, staring at the slender figure above, filled with shock.
Whoosh!
"Elder Qin, I apologize for wrecking your platform."
Jiang Chen landed, and bowing slightly toward Qin Chaolan.
Qin Chaolan’s eyes twitched slightly, her gaze dark as she looked at Jiang Chen.
This kid must be doing this on purpose!
Jiang Chen indeed meant to provoke; after Qin Chaolan repeatedly mocked him, he felt somewhat displeased.
But since Qin Chaolan was an elder, and both he and his teacher were residing here, he couldn’t exactly retort, thus took the opportunity to vent.
Cough cough!
Lin Hao and his group spat out mouthfuls of blood, their spirits weak, their gazes toward Jiang Chen filled with terror.
"If any of you wish to continue, I am happy to oblige!"
Jiang Chen glanced at them lightly, speaking indifferently.
Lin Hao and his companions’ expressions shifted; trembling, they struggled to stand, a mix of shame and anger in their hearts. They glared at Jiang Chen, then quickly leaped down the mountain without bothering to greet Qin Chaolan.
Thud!
Just as the five flew off the platform, a sharp pain surged through their bodies, and they fell down.
"Lin Hao!"
"Lin Li!"
The spectating Heavenly Sword Sect cultivators at the forest edge finally snapped out of their shock, rushing to help Lin Hao’s group up and hurriedly heading toward the base of the mountain.
"So strong!"
"He took Lin Hao’s group down in one move; truly invincible in the same realm!"
"He’s definitely got the right to be wild!"
"So powerful! And handsome too!"
"Yes, yes, that aura, that effortless wave, he’s so cool!"
The remaining cultivators gazed at Jiang Chen on the platform, filled with admiration. Several female disciples looked on starry-eyed, their cheeks gaining a hint of pink.
"Jiang Chen, weren’t you a bit too harsh?"
Qin Chaolan spoke in a serious tone.
"Elder Qin, if I hadn’t, this challenge would have been endless!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the nearly hundred-strong group at the forest edge, speaking calmly.
Qin Chaolan furrowed her brow but refrained from further comment.
Jiang Chen’s approach was indeed the most intimidating; now, the sect’s mid Divine Infant Realm cultivators would likely stop clamoring to challenge Jiang Chen!
