Chapter 378: Chapter 376: Annihilation in One Strike
A faint, mysterious halo of light suddenly enveloped Jiang Jichen.
The halo emanated the aura of the Mysterious Material.
What’s more, the horrifying wounds on his body began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The Blood Cave in his shoulder, which pierced him straight through, was now growing new flesh from the inside out.
It quickly filled the Blood Cave, leaving only a faint scar behind.
With that, all the other wounds on Jiang Jichen’s body vanished.
His aura surged, erupting from within him in a thunderous blast.
"This... He must have consumed and refined a massive amount of Mysterious Material to be recovering like this!"
"Heavens, how is this possible?"
The Academy disciples cried out in shock, utterly stunned and unable to believe their eyes!
And just as the Academy disciples had guessed, Jiang Jichen had already refined eighty percent of the Mysterious Material within him by the time he appeared.
He had finally finished refining the last twenty percent during their recent provocations and dialogue.
Now, all of Jiang Jichen’s injuries had vanished.
Not only that, but having refined one-tenth of the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast’s Inner Core, he felt his entire body become pure and flawless. He could even feel a faint resonance with the Great Dao of the cosmos.
His physical body, bloodline, and Spiritual Sense had all been significantly strengthened.
Furthermore, if Jiang Jichen didn’t suppress his power, he could break through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm at any moment.
In fact, if he continued refining the Mysterious Material, he could even attempt to reach the Perfect Foundation Establishment Realm!
’The effects of this Mysterious Material are astounding! I can use this to reach the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm!’
Jiang Jichen thought to himself.
The disciple of the Artifact Refining System’s Saint Master finally snapped out of it. Staring at Jiang Jichen in terror and disbelief, he stammered, "Impossible! Where did you get so much Mysterious Material?"
"You mean this?"
Jiang Jichen casually took out the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast Inner Core—from which a tenth had been cut—and asked nonchalantly.
"That... That’s the Inner Core of a Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast!"
"Don’t tell me... you killed a Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast? That’s absolutely impossible!"
The entire area suddenly fell deathly silent.
Wave after wave of shock washed over them, so intense they felt their hearts would give out and stop beating.
"Why else do you think I was so badly injured? Because of a few creatures from the Six Paths Realm? Ridiculous!"
"But seriously, that Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast was truly powerful. It nearly took my life, but I still managed to slay it in the end."
Jiang Jichen then casually tossed out the corpse of the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast.
At this, everyone present was rendered completely speechless.
What was there to doubt now?
To think that Jiang Jichen, while injured, had single-handedly slain a Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast.
And that piece of Mysterious Material, as large as a baby’s fist, was right there in his hand.
The Academy disciples suddenly felt utterly ridiculous.
They were going to withhold his share of the Mysterious Material?
They were going to kill him and seize his treasures?
Even Ouyang Xue was speechless. Her own piece of Mysterious Material—impure and no bigger than a fingernail—wasn’t even a thousandth of what he possessed!
And she had offered to split hers with him?
The feeling was like a beggar offering half their fortune to a billionaire.
Ouyang Xue was deeply annoyed, but her eyes gleamed as she stared at the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast Inner Core in Jiang Jichen’s hand.
Even Suu Luo’s eyes flashed with a peculiar light.
"The Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast is so powerful. How could you possibly have killed it? You..."
Everything felt dreamlike and unreal.
The disciple of the Artifact Refining System’s Saint Master still couldn’t accept it.
But with the corpse of the Mysterious Space-Time Giant Beast lying there, they had no choice but to believe it.
That was why his words had trailed off, unable to finish his sentence.
Jiang Jichen said coolly, "I had no reason to show or explain any of this to you. But I thought that if I did, you would all be quite shocked. You’d feel awful. You’d realize just how ridiculous you look, wouldn’t you?"
But then, his tone suddenly shifted, becoming grim and merciless.
"Now that you’ve had your fill of misery, it’s time I send you on your way!"
As he spoke the last word, Jiang Jichen thrust a finger forward.
Soul-destroying Finger Light.
PFFT!
PFFT!
PFFT!
With three consecutive finger strikes, he pierced an Academy student’s skull, heart, and Qi Sea Dao Platform, killing him instantly.
It all happened too fast. The Academy disciples were horrified, their faces draining of color.
Someone cried out, "Jiang Jichen, you’re the Young Master of the Pavilion for the Pharmacist System! For the sake of our shared affiliation, please spare our lives!"
Jiang Jichen sneered. The Red Copper Sword appeared in his hand, and he swung it with a flick of his wrist.
Yin Yang Two Principles.
PFFT!
PFFT!
Two heads flew from their shoulders as blood fountained into the air.
As the heads thudded to the ground, Jiang Jichen spoke nonchalantly. "Weren’t you just calling me a traitor to the Human Race? Why have you suddenly remembered that I’m the Young Master of the Pavilion of the Pharmacist System?"
The remaining student Cultivators were deathly pale. Even the disciples of the Saint Masters were trembling uncontrollably.
Within the Foundation Establishment Realm, none of them could last a single exchange against Jiang Jichen.
"Jiang Jichen, we’re the disciples of the Academy’s Saint Masters! You can’t kill us!"
A disciple of a Saint Master from the Sword Dao System spoke up, trying to use his master’s name to intimidate Jiang Jichen.
He hoped Jiang Jichen would be wary and stay his hand, letting them go for now.
However, Jiang Jichen’s assault didn’t slow in the slightest!
Now fully recovered, he was absurdly powerful. He could slay all his enemies with a simple wave of his sword.
Four Symbols Sword Intent!
Four streams of Sword Qi—Lesser Yang, Taiyang, Lesser Yin, and Taiyin—slashed through the air.
They were impossibly fast, cutting horizontally and vertically, sealing off all directions.
The disciple of the Sword Dao System’s Saint Master was not weak and tried to counter with his own Sword Dao. But in the next instant, he discovered in despair that his attacks were utterly crushed, and then the four streams of Sword Light... dismembered him!
"So, a disciple of a Saint Master can kill others, but others can’t kill him? Ridiculous!"
Jiang Jichen remarked coolly.
By this point, his words and actions had stunned everyone present into submission.
Even a few creatures from the Six Paths Realm who were passing by saw the scene and felt a chill creep into their hearts. That young Human Race cultivator was simply too terrifying.
They didn’t even dare to watch for long, immediately fleeing into the distance, wanting no part of a confrontation with him.
"You... Everyone, attack together! Fight him to the death! It’s the only way we’ll have a chance to live!"
The disciple of the Artifact Refining System’s Saint Master shouted frantically.
They knew that now, no one could stop Jiang Jichen from killing them.
This person couldn’t be threatened; he was merciless and vicious, like a Demon!
They now deeply regretted provoking such a Demon, but it was too late.
If they wanted to live, they had to risk their lives in a desperate struggle.
How could the remaining student Cultivators not understand this?
Though they were terrified and trembling, they still charged forward, unleashing their Ultimate Killing Skills.
Jiang Jichen remained perfectly composed, as if taking a stroll through the clouds. Every movement he made carried the profound rhythm of the Great Dao.
"I take the power of heaven and earth as my blade and the very thought of slaughter as my Sword Technique. I will sweep away all my enemies!"
As he finished speaking, Sword Intent erupted, crisscrossing the space around them and descending upon the group of student Cultivators.
"PFFT! PFFT! PFFT..."
Annihilated in a single move!
Behind him, Suu Luo, Ouyang Xue, Shii Xiaoyu, and Qingya watched Jiang Jichen, their gazes now filled with a complex mixture of shock and awe.
