Chapter 115: Chapter 113: Was That Satisfying?
At this moment, Jiang Song, being a Minor Grandmaster, was the first to react.
A longsword appeared in his hand, and he swung it in a sweeping motion at the group from the Spirit Moon Sect!
PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!
The Spirit Moon Sect members were utterly powerless to resist. They were wiped out in an instant, their heads severed from their bodies.
He then exploded into motion, charging into the Moonlight Forest at an astonishing speed in pursuit of Jiang Ling’Er.
The moment Jiang Ling’Er looked up, she saw Li Yueyun’s Divine Soul scatter. Her eyes instantly welled with tears.
But she didn’t linger or hesitate. Lowering her head with a flick, she sent tears flying through the air, her figure already a hundred meters in the distance.
"Jiang Ling’Er, you can’t escape!"
However, Jiang Song was even faster, and soon appeared right behind her.
Jiang Ling’Er never looked back, only desperately pushing deeper into the Moonlight Forest.
But no matter how hard she tried, the distance between her and Jiang Song steadily closed. Finally, he was just three meters away.
In truth, if he only wanted to kill Jiang Ling’Er, Jiang Song could have struck from much farther away. But to capture her alive, he needed to get within three meters.
"If I capture you alive and hand you over to the Feng Family’s Young Master, I imagine I can get a Great Innate Breaking Realm Pill in exchange. Becoming a Grandmaster is just around the corner, haha..."
As he spoke, Jiang Song suddenly accelerated, instantly closing the distance with Jiang Ling’Er until she was within arm’s reach.
He reached out his hand to subdue her, but in that instant, a terrifying sense of danger washed over him.
Just then, Jiang Ling’Er, who had been desperately fleeing for her life, suddenly spun around.
A Little Wooden Sword appeared in her hand, about a finger in length and width. It was simple and unadorned—utterly unremarkable.
But when Jiang Song saw this Little Wooden Sword, a look of terror flashed across his face.
He was a Minor Grandmaster at the Innate Seventh Layer Initial Realm, but everything happened too suddenly. The Little Wooden Sword was too close, leaving him no room to dodge. All he could do was activate his defenses with all his might.
At the same time, the simple and unadorned Little Wooden Sword suddenly erupted with a terrifying Sword Intent capable of destroying mountains and rivers. It instantly transformed into a peerless Sword Aura that lanced toward Jiang Song.
BOOM!
A small patch of the forest was obliterated. Dust and smoke filled the air, laced with raging Sword Intent. Covered in sword wounds, Jiang Song staggered out, continuously coughing up blood.
And he could only watch helplessly as Jiang Ling’Er disappeared into the depths of the Moonlight Forest.
Normally, an attack from this Forbidden Weapon Sword could only injure Cultivators below the Innate Seventh Layer. But Jiang Ling’Er had pushed the Forbidden Weapon Sword’s effect to its absolute limit, managing to severely wound Jiang Song, who was at the Innate Seventh Layer Initial Realm. This level of combat instinct and talent sent a chill down Jiang Song’s spine.
’I can’t believe she had a Forbidden Weapon Sword! Damn it all!’
Jiang Song had wanted to continue the pursuit, but he could feel the indelible wisps of Sword Intent inside him continuously devouring his life force. He hesitated no longer and retreated from the Moonlight Forest.
Meanwhile, on the Ancient Street of Cyan Moon City, another great battle was raging.
Jiang Jichen, wielding the Red Copper Sword, had pushed his Cultivation to its absolute limit. Layer upon layer of Sword Shadows slashed out, continuously reaping lives, but he was still no match for his opponents. His body was battered and broken.
If not for the Undying Scripture within his body, his attainment of the Innate Second Realm Perfect Body Refining Realm, and having refined the Undying Medicine Power of the White Turtle Longevity Grass, who knows how many times he would have already died?
Not far away, several Minor Grandmaster Level figures watched on coldly. They had yet to make a move, but they were all blocking Jiang Jichen’s path forward. If Jiang Jichen wanted to break through the city gate, he would have to get past them.
As for Little Skeleton, its small frame was covered in cracks and looked as if it could shatter and collapse at any moment. The Soul Fire within its skull was also incredibly dim, seeming as though it could extinguish at any time.
At this point, despite Jiang Jichen’s incredible fortitude, even he could feel his Life Energy about to be exhausted. It felt as though his life was coming to an end!
The North City Gate was in sight, now less than a hundred meters away, but standing before him were several Minor Grandmasters.
The black-robed elder and the Old Emperor watched him with mocking gazes.
In the eyes of the Minor Grandmasters, Jiang Jichen was only putting up a futile struggle.
But to the Cultivators below the Innate Seventh Layer, it looked as if he had truly carved a path of blood, and no one could stop him.
The boy and the skeleton before them were simply terrifying. Just moments ago, they had lost count of how many of their people he had slain, a slaughter that chilled them to the bone. They thought they had landed a killing blow countless times, but Jiang Jichen and the Little Skeleton would neither die nor fall. It was as if no matter how grievous their injuries, no matter the attack, they would always remain standing.
Panting for breath, Jiang Jichen could barely feel his own body anymore. Little Skeleton wobbled more and more violently, its bones creaking, making one worry it would fall apart at any moment.
"Little Gray, having fun yet?"
Jiang Jichen cried out in a hoarse voice. Even though he could barely make a sound, everyone could feel his infinite, unquenchable fighting spirit.
Little Skeleton, somewhat weakly, gave a comical wave of its little bone hand, as if to say, ’It was a blast!’
"Haha... Then let’s have another round! Let’s make it a slaughter to remember, a battle to relish!"
Jiang Jichen laughed loudly, completely ignoring the incredibly powerful besiegers surrounding him and the desperate situation he was in.
That sound echoed high above Cyan Moon City, seeming to transform into the most rousing of war songs, eternal and undying.
In that moment, how many would remember this youth who was fearless in the face of death, who always pressed forward, who fought with such burning passion?
He would become a legend, one that would live on with Cyan Moon City itself!
The black-robed elder gave a cold sneer and said mockingly, "Jiang Jichen, your road ends here. If you hand over the Immortal Grass willingly, I can make the decision to leave you with an intact corpse!"
Jiang Jichen shot them a contemptuous glance, as if they didn’t even exist. He grabbed Little Skeleton, and his figure suddenly faded, finally vanishing from the spot. When he reappeared, he was a hundred meters away, having bypassed the several Minor Grandmasters to stand right at the city gate.
’Void Shadowless!’
The Second Form of Shadow Step. Only after reaching the Body Cultivation Innate Second Realm and the Spirit Cultivation Innate Third Realm Perfection could Jiang Jichen truly use a sliver of this Step Technique’s profound mystery.
’Merge with the void, become shadowless, cross a thousand li in an instant!’
Right now, Jiang Jichen’s limit was a hundred meters. Of course, he could only use it once a day, and the price was having an unknown number of his bones crushed by the Power of Space. He could barely support his own body and had nearly collapsed completely.
Little Skeleton, however, was unharmed, because Jiang Jichen had shouldered the entirety of the spatial pressure himself. If he were to do it again, every bone in his body would undoubtedly shatter.
PFFT!
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Jiang Jichen actually smiled as if a great weight had been lifted, and looked at the crowd of experts a hundred meters away with a mocking gaze.
Opposite him stood the black-robed elder and the Old Emperor, leading several Minor Grandmasters. Behind them followed the most powerful group of experts from the Family Sects of the Celestial Pearl Country.
At that moment, he took out One Corner of the Azure Heaven Killing Array!
