Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Chapter 332: Chapter 330: Heaven-Defying Counter-kill

Even the newest students knew what the title "Young Master of the Pavilion" meant.

At the Heavenly Sword Academy, aside from those Supreme figures in each system, the most authoritative was undoubtedly the Pavilion Master, followed by the tutors of the Saint Position and the Young Master of the Pavilion!

Yes, the Young Master of the Pavilion—the one qualified to compete for the position of Pavilion Master in the future.

They were typically the number one of the younger generation in their respective systems, with cultivation and talent that were nothing short of breathtaking!

Everyone in the entire Heavenly Sword Academy knew that the position of Young Master of the Pavilion for the Medicine System had been vacant for a thousand years. It had been so long that almost everyone had forgotten the Pharmacist System even had such a position.

But at this moment, the Cyan Nether Token had actually appeared on this Great Realm youth?

Didn’t this mean that Lingchen was... the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System, with a status equivalent to a Little Saint Position Tutor?

Everyone was stunned into silence, their faces masks of utter disbelief.

They couldn’t believe this was real!

Elder Liu, Teacher Shan, and the many student Cultivators simply could not connect Jiang Jichen with the Young Master of the Pavilion.

He wore no Pharmacist Robe, was covered in dirt, and his hair was a mess. He looked like a person of low status.

Moreover, he had been accused of being a medicine thief from the very beginning, leading everyone to accept that perception as fact.

But now, such a reversal had occurred!

Teacher Shan’s face was now deathly pale. He recalled the words he had just spoken: "As for those behind him, we will naturally spare no one. We’ll slaughter their entire clan and annihilate their whole sect!"

If that Grandmaster Realm youth really was the Young Master of the Pavilion, slaughtering his entire clan was one thing, but what about annihilating his whole sect?

Wouldn’t that mean killing everyone in the Pharmacist System, and perhaps even the entire Heavenly Sword Academy?

At this thought, Teacher Shan’s face turned ashen, and his heart was filled with terror.

Elder Liu also looked grim. He never thought that the person he was about to cripple could possibly be the Pharmacist System’s first Young Master of the Pavilion in a thousand years.

Resentful and furious, his eyes bloodshot, he roared, "Impossible! It’s a fake! He must have stolen the Cyan Nether Token! How audacious! To dare impersonate the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System—he deserves to die!"

As he spoke, Elder Liu suddenly attacked again without any warning, charging toward Jiang Jichen with killing intent.

Not far away, Tian Chuan watched this scene with a dark expression but said nothing.

He was actually letting Elder Liu attack!

The Celestial Ghost Token could block Saintly Might, allowing him to stand on equal footing with a Saint Master, unaffected by their aura.

However, it couldn’t defend against attacks from Spiritual Techniques.

For instance, if a Saint truly attacked, they could still crush Jiang Jichen with a single finger. The Cyan Nether Token offered no defense whatsoever.

This time, as Elder Liu attacked again, he naturally unleashed his full power, holding nothing back.

He would not make the same mistake. He was going for an ultimate kill against Jiang Jichen.

Jiang Jichen’s heart went cold; he truly felt the immense danger of a life-or-death situation.

Even with Sinking Mountain in hand, if his Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation remained sealed, he absolutely could not block the full-powered strike of a Middle Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator.

Suddenly, three figures of Elder Liu appeared around Jiang Jichen, each wielding a different Ultimate Killing Technique as they simultaneously blasted toward him.

Spirit Infant Clone Kill!

This was an Ultimate Killing Skill that could only be possessed after stepping into the Spirit Infant Realm.

It created several clones, and each figure wielded a different Ultimate Killing Skill to attack the opponent.

Furthermore, the clones possessed power completely identical to the true body!

The number of clones was related to an individual’s talent, bloodline, Realm, and so on!

For Elder Liu to be able to create three clones at the Spirit Infant Middle Realm was already extraordinary.

This technique was incredibly powerful, but after each use, the Spirit Infant would enter a period of annihilation, unable to use Spiritual Power.

Generally, one would never use it lightly unless it was a matter of life and death or to kill a great enemy.

And yet, to kill the Grandmaster Realm Lingchen, Elder Liu had actually used Spirit Infant Clone Kill?

He absolutely wasn’t giving Lingchen a single chance to survive!

How could anyone fail to see Elder Liu’s intention?

Whether Lingchen was the Young Master of the Pavilion or not, it was better to kill him first and ask questions later. If they missed this chance, and if Lingchen really was the Young Master of the Pavilion, they would have no chance at all!

And now, when even the Saint Realm Master Tian Chuan didn’t speak up or intervene, how could they dare to say a word?

Some even knew that this was clearly Tian Chuan’s will as well. Without his tacit approval, how would Elder Liu dare to act?

Teacher Shan, whose face had been ashen with terror just moments before, now showed a flicker of joy in his eyes as he watched. If Elder Liu killed Lingchen, then regardless of whether he was the real Young Master of the Pavilion or not, he... could shirk all responsibility.

"With three Spirit Infant Clones attacking, Lingchen... is a dead man!"

Some sighed, some rejoiced in secret, and some felt a storm of complex emotions...

Jiang Jichen’s heart went cold. The defenses around his body erupted to their fullest as he swept Sinking Mountain horizontally!

He was even ready to summon his Ancient Medicine Cauldron and a corner of the Azure Heaven Killing Array at a moment’s notice!

He might not even be able to block a single Spirit Infant Clone’s ultimate kill, let alone three.

However, at that moment, Jiang Jichen suddenly discovered something wondrous. The cyan nether light emanating from the Cyan Nether Token actually possessed a heaven-defying healing effect.

The injuries he had just sustained from the pressure of Tian Chuan’s Saintly Might were now completely healed.

’It may not have defensive properties, but as long as I have the cyan nether light, I’m practically an Undying Body when facing Spirit Infant Realm Cultivators. Why should I fear him?’

This sudden discovery filled Jiang Jichen with ecstatic joy.

Of course, he also knew that if a Cultivator above the Spirit Infant Realm or a Saint attacked, his Divine Soul would be instantly annihilated, and the cyan nether light would be useless.

But the Spirit Infant Realm was different; they couldn’t annihilate him in a single strike!

With his powerful physical body and vigorous blood qi, coupled with the cyan nether light, he would not die so easily.

"Come on, you old coot! Don’t think for a second that I, Lingchen, am afraid of you! Fight!"

With this realization, Jiang Jichen was finally filled with confidence. Not a trace of fear remained as his presence shot toward the heavens, his will to fight burning like a wildfire.

Facing Elder Liu’s attack, he took the initiative and stepped forward to counter-attack.

No retreat, no fear—only an even more imposing and domineering aura!

With Sinking Mountain in hand, he pointed it forward... to battle a Spirit Infant!

BOOM!

The blade was immensely heavy, carrying the force to split mountains as it swept through the surroundings.

CRACK! CRACK!

Two of Elder Liu’s ultimate kill clones were actually sent flying by the sweep, with only one managing to strike Jiang Jichen.

PTHOO!

Jiang Jichen felt as if his whole body was about to shatter, and he even spat out fragments of his internal organs.

His life force was nearly extinguished, but in the next moment, the Cyan Nether Qi entered his body, instantly repairing the damage Jiang Jichen had sustained.

Without the Cyan Nether Qi, Jiang Jichen would have undoubtedly died from that blow!

The Cyan Nether Qi was truly wondrous. It contained the life essence of plants and herbs, as well as the divine efficacy of medicines from a Pill Cauldron. Its effects were simply heaven-defying.

"Again!"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments, Jiang Jichen didn’t retreat. Instead, he swept Sinking Mountain toward Elder Liu once more.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing this, everyone’s expression changed dramatically. Even Tian Chuan could no longer remain composed.

Elder Liu’s eyes were wide with shock. Staring at Jiang Jichen, who was still as ferocious as a dragon after taking a hit from the Spirit Infant Clone’s ultimate kill, he was completely dumbfounded.

At the same time, he felt endless terror and despair!

Because he had used the Spirit Infant’s ultimate kill, his Spirit Infant had temporarily fallen into a dormant state, unable to use any more Spiritual Power.

So, how could he possibly block the strike from Jiang Jichen’s Sinking Mountain?

"No! Master Tian Chuan, save me!"

Elder Liu shrieked in terror.

Tian Chuan’s expression turned ugly. He was just about to act when an invisible force descended upon him, instantly immobilizing him and rendering him unable to move.

In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Elder Liu was sliced in two at the waist by the Sinking Mountain in Jiang Jichen’s hands.

Blood and entrails flew everywhere in a gruesome and brutal scene.
