Chapter 375: Chapter 373: Noisy
Jiang Jichen knew the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast had been locked onto him the entire time.
Even when it was slaughtering those cultivators, its Divine Thought had never left him.
It was also observing and probing Jiang Jichen.
After all, the youth had managed to dodge its very first pounce.
It waited until it determined that Jiang Jichen was heavily injured and exuding a weak aura.
Only then did it strike with vicious speed!
Jiang Jichen had to admit that this mysterious space-time creature was highly intelligent and cunning.
It could use Space-Time Prohibitions, knew how to observe its prey, and had a perfect sense of timing.
Most importantly, it possessed overwhelmingly tyrannical strength.
’How laughable. Those people actually thought they could team up to kill it and seize its Inner Core. They were simply courting death!’
Jiang Jichen actually could have sliced open the Space-Time Prohibition with a single strike of his Holy Sword, but he chose not to.
The Holy Sword was greatly suppressed here. Not to mention the vast amount of power each swing consumed, it could only unleash sixty percent of its original might.
Moreover, as he went deeper into the Heavenly Refining Ancient Road, the suppression grew stronger and stronger.
Jiang Jichen estimated that by the time he reached the back mountain of the Academy, the sword would have less than half of its power left!
As the Holy Sword swung down, the sound of a dragon’s cry echoed out. The faint shadow of a dragon flickered along the blade, its might capable of shaking mountains and rivers!
One Sword Life and Death Technique!
In a state of Man and Sword Unity, Jiang Jichen moved like a soaring dragon tearing through the sky as he swept his blade toward the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast.
The Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast was as massive as an Ancient Elephant, yet its movements were incredibly agile and its reflexes astonishingly fast.
The moment its pounce missed, its thick, long tail scissored through the air to meet Jiang Jichen’s incoming sword strike.
CLANG!
The clash of sword and tail produced a metallic shriek that made everyone’s ears ring.
Jiang Jichen was knocked back by the impact, while the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast roared in pain.
"My god, what is that beast’s tail made of? Not even the Holy Sword could cut through it!"
Everyone stared in disbelief, shocked by the scene.
Jiang Jichen frowned.
His power was low, and the Holy Sword was suppressed. In the end, he had only managed to sever the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast’s tail halfway, leaving it dangling by flesh and blood.
Blood gushed from the wound on its tail, and the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast roared in agony, its savagery now fully unleashed.
Jiang Jichen was shocked by the hardness of the beast’s tail; it was as if forged from solid metal.
’If I hadn’t been wielding the Holy Sword and using an Ultimate Killing Skill, I doubt I would have even managed to scratch its tail.’
But the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast was equally terrified by the sharpness of the Holy Sword in Jiang Jichen’s hand.
The spectral image of the True Dragon that appeared had also left it somewhat shaken.
ROAR!
Truly enraged, the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast charged once more.
It could hear Jiang Jichen’s shallow breathing.
It decided to press its attack relentlessly, giving him no time to breathe, intending to wear him down and kill him.
Jiang Jichen was fearless. Even though facing the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast was incredibly perilous and meant risking his life.
But he would not retreat!
Besides, there was no path of retreat. The Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast was fixated on him and would not let him go.
The only way out was to fight to the death!
Seeing that Jiang Jichen had drawn the beast’s full attention, the other cultivators immediately began sending mental messages to one another.
’While Jiang Jichen keeps the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast busy, we have to break through the Space-Time Prohibition and escape!’
"Kill!"
In the distance, despite being injured and weak, Jiang Jichen remained calm. He even took the initiative and charged forward.
Holy Sword in hand!
He alternated between Illusory Indeterminacy and Mountain River Shadow.
Aided by his Seven-Colored Perfect Realm Divine Soul, Jiang Jichen evaded the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast’s pounces again and again.
Simultaneously, he counterattacked. Flashes of Sword Light struck out at the beast’s vital points.
Jiang Jichen’s last strike had temporarily disabled the beast’s tail.
Now, it attacked with its four hooves and its mysterious horn. It was still terrifyingly powerful and held a clear advantage.
In the eyes of the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast, along with coldness, grimness, and cruelty, there now burned a bone-deep hatred for Jiang Jichen.
However, Jiang Jichen was incredibly evasive, never letting it land an easy hit.
The man and the beast were locked in a dance of attacks and evasions!
Soon, both were wounded, but Jiang Jichen was clearly in worse shape. A beam of Secret Light from the beast’s horn had even pierced clean through his left shoulder.
’This little human should be collapsing by now!’
But he didn’t. He was challenging its understanding of what was possible, again and again.
It was as if he were fighting on sheer willpower alone, locked in a battle of attrition with it!
A contest of patience and a battle of endurance!
ROAR!
Finally, the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast could take no more and unleashed its Ultimate Kill.
It had been looking for an opportunity, saving its Ultimate Kill.
However, Jiang Jichen hadn’t given it the slightest opening.
It had finally grown impatient!
BOOM!
Suddenly, countless spatial runes flared to life within the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast’s single eye, converging on Jiang Jichen from all directions.
These space-time runes had a teleportation function, controlled by their caster.
With space-time runes surrounding him on all sides, Jiang Jichen had no chance of escape.
The Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast clearly intended to teleport him into the Chaotic Flow Space-Time, far away from the Bluestone Ancient Road.
There was no escape, no way to dodge. What could he do?
Jiang Jichen remained perfectly calm. A sly, triumphant smile flashed in his eyes.
He took a step.
Position Shifting!
His figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, another person appeared in his place!
This person was precisely the cultivator who had previously asked him to join forces to kill the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast.
"Ah, this..."
One moment he was bombarding the Restriction Light Curtain, the next he was suddenly here. The cultivator was completely dumbfounded.
But in the next moment, he was engulfed by the endless Teleportation Runes.
Then, he found himself in the Chaotic Flow Space-Time, outside the Bluestone Ancient Road.
SPLAT!
Before he could even understand what had happened, a fierce gale swept over him, and his body exploded into a bloody mist.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen had silently appeared behind the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast.
His opponent had used its Ultimate Kill.
’Then it’s my turn to use my Ultimate Kill.’
"Die!"
Jiang Jichen let out a cold shout.
Pushing his Spiritual Power to its absolute limit, he unleashed the unique skill of the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword.
True Dragon Incarnation! Primal Ferocity!
He directly executed the latter half of the form, and cracks began to appear on his physical body.
But he paid it no mind, pushing the Holy Sword’s power to its absolute extreme.
SCHLICK!
ROAR!
The Holy Sword transformed into the phantom of a True Dragon, piercing into the vital point of the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast’s heart.
Endless True Dragon Sword Qi erupted inside the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast’s body, directly shredding its massive heart.
With a final, resentful gurgle, it collapsed, powerless.
Jiang Jichen swung his Holy Sword again, slicing open the beast’s abdomen. From within, he retrieved an Inner Core the size of an infant’s fist.
This was... the Mysterious Material!
Everyone stared, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
At the same time, their eyes were filled with endless greed.
"Jiang Jichen, we were in the same Restricted Area, so it counts as us working together. We should split the Mysterious Material."
The cultivator who had mocked and berated Jiang Jichen suddenly shouted.
His words immediately drew a chorus of agreement from the other cultivators.
Jiang Jichen, however, spoke with chilling finality. "Noisy."
Then he swung his sword.
A flash of True Dragon Sword Qi—a head flew, spraying blood. Death.
