Chapter 2319: Chapter 2323: No Schemes Needed, One Sword Is Enough
Buzz!
Just as the leading young man’s foot was about to leave the ground, an overwhelming pressure bore down heavily on him, rendering him completely immobile.
Swish!
On the other side, a white streak flew out from Jiang Chen’s longsword, striking heavily on the chests of the four people.
Whoosh whoosh!
Thud! Thud!
The four of them were sent flying, crashing hard ten meters away. A mouthful of blood spurted out once more, and their auras instantly weakened. Their faces turned pale as they looked at Jiang Chen with terror-filled eyes.
Swish!
Bam!
Jiang Chen’s figure flashed again, his feet landing heavily on two Earthwalk Academy students. A gleam of cold light flashed as a sword emitting a chilling aura appeared in his left hand; this sword was of a treasure level.
Swish!
The cold light split into two, and two longswords were placed against the necks of the other two Earthwalk Academy students. Jiang Chen said coldly, "Hand over the Demon Core."
"Kid, don’t push people too far!"
The leading young man shouted, his face twisted with rage, glaring fiercely at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn’t even spare the leading youth a glance, applying force with both hands.
Sizzle!
Two shallow bloodmarks instantly appeared on the necks of the two people, with blood trickling down the wounds.
"We don’t have it; the Demon Core is with the senior!"
One student shouted in panic, pointing at the leading young man.
"Yes, the Demon Core is with me. Come and get it if you can!"
The leading young man shouted.
If Jiang Chen made a move first, then he could retaliate!
Jiang Chen cast a glance at the leading youth, flicking the longsword in his hand.
Clang clang!
Two crisp sounds echoed as the special assessment Space Rings on the hands of the two students were flicked into the air by Jiang Chen.
Reaching out to grab the two rings, Jiang Chen extended his Divine Sense into them.
"Die now!"
At this moment, a violent roar sounded. As Jiang Chen struck the rings, the two students on either side broke free from control and moved to attack Jiang Chen with their palms.
The cold light flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes, his twin longswords quickly sweeping out.
Swoosh swoosh!
The sound of blades slicing into flesh echoed, and two severed hands fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Screams of agony rang out as the two students held their severed hands, crying out in pain.
Swish!
A figure instantly appeared beside them, a powerful pressure bearing down hard on Jiang Chen.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Just as the pressure was about to reach him, three terrifying pressures instantly suppressed the newcomer.
Thud!
A muffled sound rang out, and the newcomer fell straight to their knees!
The clash of pressures happened so quickly that Jiang Chen had only just raised his head.
Before him stood an elderly man in an earth-yellow robe with a dark face. The elder’s face was as somber as could be, his eyes filled with blazing anger: "Hu Yiqiu, Li Yukun, Wu Xianxia, what are you doing?"
"According to the rules, you can take away injured or powerless students but can’t strike others, you old fool, you broke the rules!"
Hu Yiqiu’s icy voice echoed in the air.
Jiang Chen smirked slightly, plucking the special Space Rings from the hands of the students at his feet.
At this moment, all five students were dumbfounded. Hu Yiqiu and the others did not retract their Great Dao pressure in the slightest. Although it wasn’t targeted at them, the terrifying oppression prevented them from resisting at all.
After removing the Space Rings, Jiang Chen looked up at the dark-faced elder and said coolly, "Want to target our Changlin Academy? Then pay the price!"
Buzz!
A wave of Spiritual Power erupted from beneath Jiang Chen’s feet, striking the students at his feet with force.
Crack!
Splurt!
The two students spat out mouthfuls of blood, their auras weakening to the extreme, completely losing the ability to fight.
"You... ruthless kid!"
The dark-faced elder’s expression turned so dark it was practically dripping as he glared at Jiang Chen, eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
Jiang Chen completely ignored the elder, stepping off the two students and spoke with a trace of disdain, "Take them away, don’t be an eyesore here!"
Buzz!
As Jiang Chen’s words fell, the terrifying pressures binding the dark-faced elder vanished completely.
The dark-faced elder slowly stood up, staring daggers at Jiang Chen while circulating his Spiritual Power, his eyes flickering as if calculating the chances of a successful strike.
"Try it if you want to die!"
Hu Yiqiu’s voice resounded in the air once more, carrying a cold murderous intent.
The dark-faced elder trembled with regret.
Eliminating four students in one go drastically lowered their Earthwalk Academy’s chances of advancing. Moreover, he hadn’t expected that from the previous pressure, Hu Yiqiu had already stepped into the Late Integration Realm!
"Kid, I hope you advance; someone will deal with you by then!"
The dark-faced elder spoke coldly, waving his hand, and the four severely injured students floated off the ground.
Swish!
Figures flashed, and the dark-faced elder along with the four wounded students disappeared from Jiang Chen’s sight.
"Your turn now!"
Glancing at the departing direction of the dark-faced elder and others, Jiang Chen sheathed his left-hand sword and turned to the leading young man.
The leading youth paused slightly, his face twisting into a scowl: "You want to fight me? Looks like your confidence swelled after defeating those four! In that case, let me take care of you!"
Stepping forward, the leading youth channeled his Spiritual Power, with the Great Dao Divine Light suddenly erupting.
Suddenly, the leading youth’s Great Dao Divine Light receded abruptly, and he sneered, "Almost fell for your trick. You want me to attack and get eliminated, right? Crafty kid! Why don’t you attack me first if you dare?"
Jiang Chen paused slightly, shaking his head in amusement.
Whoosh!
The Five-colored Divine Light surged into the sky, with Jiang Chen using his actions to prove his answer.
"How is this possible?! You... you comprehended five Great Dao!?"
The leading youth’s heart trembled violently as he exclaimed in shock at the Five-colored Divine Light rising to the sky.
Jiang Chen looked at the leading youth with a cold sharpness, mocking, "To deal with you, no schemes are needed — one sword is enough!"
Buzz buzz buzz!
The Five-colored Divine Light began to quiver violently, instantly amalgamating into a Five-colored Giant Sword radiating a resolute Sword Intent, towering proudly in the void.
"Five, Five Elements Great Path Fusion? How is this possible? How did you manage to fuse five Great Paths?"
The leading young man looked on in horror at the Five-colored Giant Sword above Jiang Chen, a wave of impulse to flee swelling in his heart.
The more Great Paths were fused in a Great Dao Fusion attack, the stronger the power. Fusing five paths was already comparable to contend with a cultivator one level higher.
"So what if you fused five Great Paths? The more power you fuse from the Great Dao, the stronger the repulsion, demanding higher power control. I don’t believe you can unleash an attack with five-path fusion; trying to bluff me? You’re underestimating me!"
The leading youth wasn’t only addressing Jiang Chen; it was partly self-hypnosis, his gaze fixed coldly on Jiang Chen, eyes flickering incessantly.
