Chapter 71: Chapter 69: Life Killing Technique
By ramming his way through and trading life for life, Jiang Jichen had killed nearly ten people, but he was also heavily wounded in the process.
In the past, he would have already lost the strength to fight, but now...
As he circulated the Undying Scripture, the Yin-Yang Power fused within his body began to flow through him. It healed his internal injuries at an astonishing rate and replenished the power he had just expended.
At this moment, Jiang Jichen appeared to be covered in wounds, yet he was now even stronger!
Of course, in a normal battle, Jiang Jichen would be no match for a cultivator at the Initial Stage of Innate Three Realms from a distance. But up close, anything was possible.
Behind him, Granny Liu watched as Jiang Jichen sped past her. She realized she couldn’t catch him even if she used all her strength. Seeing the miserable state of Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu and recalling Jiang Jichen’s words to her, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease.
’No, this boy must die now, or he’ll become an endless source of trouble!’
’But he’s rushing to save Jiang Ling’Er. Why should I stop him? I can just let powerful figures like Huang Chuang kill him. Facing cultivators of the Innate Fourth Realm, Jiang Jichen is doomed to die, even if he had godlike abilities.’
"..."
Countless thoughts flashed through Granny Liu’s mind. In the end, she stopped in her tracks, deciding to watch coldly from the sidelines. She had to see Jiang Jichen die with her own eyes. If he didn’t, she would go up and deliver the final blow herself.
In short, having witnessed how terrifying Jiang Jichen was, she would only feel at ease once she saw him dead.
Jiang Jichen, of course, also saw He Feng. He was determined to kill this man.
He Feng stood behind the Mountain Sect Elder, feeling much safer now. After all, the Mountain Sect Elder beside him had extraordinary Cultivation, possessing the powerful Cultivation of the Initial Stage of Innate Fourth Realm.
However, when Jiang Jichen shot him a chilling glare, his heart clenched. He felt as if he were being targeted by a Primordial Fierce Beast, and a sense of crisis washed over him.
"Damn it, he knows the Shifting Technique!"
He Feng suddenly realized this and shouted, but it was already too late.
As a Ninth Level Mortal Perfect Realm cultivator, Jiang Jichen could use his golden Spiritual Power to activate the Shifting Technique and swap positions with someone within ten meters!
Besides the Inner Sect Elder at the Innate Fourth Realm, He Feng was also flanked by two Outer Sect Elders at the Initial Stage of Innate Three Realms, whose Cultivation was similar to Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu’s.
At that very moment, Jiang Jichen had already closed within ten meters of them. So, as He Feng screamed, Jiang Jichen had already swapped places with one of the Mountain Sect’s Outer Sect Elders.
PFFT!
The long-range attack from the Mountain Sect’s Inner Sect Elder, who was at the Initial Stage of Innate Fourth Realm, landed where Jiang Jichen had been standing. An attack from an Innate Fourth Realm Cultivator was terrifyingly powerful. The swapped Outer Sect Elder was blasted into a shower of flesh and blood before he could even scream.
At the same time, Jiang Jichen appeared right next to He Feng!
"He Feng, you can die now!"
Jiang Jichen roared, his killing intent soaring. A longsword had appeared in his hand at some point.
With a furious glare, his sword cleaved through the air!
He Feng’s face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror. He was no match for Jiang Jichen even at his peak, let alone now, when he was scared out of his wits and had lost all will to fight.
Facing Jiang Jichen’s thrusting sword, he wanted to retreat, to get away from this terrifying Demon and never encounter him again.
BOOM!
But a chilling Sword Shadow tore through the void. All the defenses and attacks He Feng had mustered were annihilated by that single slash.
"One Sword Life and Death Technique!"
Finally, with a soft cry, Jiang Jichen’s figure and Sword Light flashed past He Feng.
Without pausing for even a second after passing him, Jiang Jichen sped away, instantly rushing to the edge of the dried-up Blood Pool. He was now only a hundred meters from Jiang Ling’Er, with several formidable experts at the Late Stage of the Innate Fourth Realm standing between them.
Behind him, He Feng’s upright body suddenly split in two with a sickening CRACK, collapsing to the ground as blood and entrails spilled everywhere!
"What kind of Sword Skill is that? He Feng was sliced in half by a single strike!"
Everyone gasped, their scalps tingling and a chill running down their spines. The Sword Skill Jiang Jichen used was definitely a Life Killing Technique, and it struck deep fear into their hearts.
Perhaps Jiang Jichen was indeed only at the Ninth Level Mortal Realm now, but by mastering a Life Killing Technique, he would surely sweep through all opponents of the same level once he stepped into the Innate Realm. Killing those in higher realms would be a simple matter for him. He was a truly terrifying existence.
A person like this should either be left alone or be utterly destroyed before he could fully mature, eliminating any future threat.
However, the surrounding crowd no longer had a chance to act, because Jiang Jichen was now face-to-face with Huang Chuang and the others, all of whom were at or above the Late Stage of the Innate Fourth Realm.
A battle between such powerful experts was simply not something they could interfere in. All they could do was watch from the side.
Still, facing opponents at and above the Late Stage of the Innate Fourth Realm, Jiang Jichen had no chance of survival.
But many also marveled. Before, no one believed Jiang Jichen could ever reach the edge of the Blood Pool to face powerful figures like Huang Chuang head-on, yet now he had done it.
Huang Chuang, Murong Hai, Elder Liu of the Mountain Sect, the genius Elder from the Five Spirits Sect, and several other mysterious experts at the Mid-stage of Innate Fourth Realm watched as Jiang Jichen, a mere Ninth-level Mortal Warrior, actually managed to charge right up to them.
Even Huang Chuang, who had been in the middle of trying to kill Jiang Ling’Er, stopped his attack. His gaze fell upon Jiang Jichen, his eyes showing a trace of surprise, but far more overwhelming killing intent.
Jiang Jichen, however, didn’t look at the powerful experts. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Ling’Er.
They were not far apart, separated only by the pool, but the presence of the experts made this distance seem impossibly vast. To cross it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
"Chen’Er, you need to go! Your aunt is here. I couldn’t find Yu Haixin, but I have the Ice Dragon Flower now. I’ll definitely make you good as new, even stronger than before!"
"Aunt, I’ve already recovered. I don’t need the Ice Dragon Flower. In the future, I can still be invincible!"
"Jiang Jichen, are you stupid? With the Ice Dragon Flower, you’ll be even stronger! Even if you’ve fully recovered, it’s still a huge supplement for you. These old fossils think they can snatch it? Not a chance!"
"..."
’Alright, I guess I completely understand Jiang Ling’Er’s personality now,’ Jiang Jichen thought. ’Once she has the Ice Dragon Flower, there’s no way she’s giving it up.’
’But isn’t she a little too reckless? She should at least take a look at the situation, right?’
’Facing so many experts at and above the Mid-Stage of the Innate Fourth Realm... one move from them and she’d be blasted into dust.’
’Then again, the Ice Dragon Flower is a priceless Holy Medicine. Even I wouldn’t be willing to just toss it to someone else.’
"Aunt, throw the Ice Dragon Flower to me. I have a way to get rid of these old geezers!"
Jiang Jichen sent a secret message to Jiang Ling’Er. Then, his gaze shifted to the powerful experts as he threatened, "You old fossils better not try anything funny! If you dare to harm a single hair on our heads, then no one will get the Ice Dragon Flower. I’ll destroy it directly and let it dissolve into True Dragon Spiritual Power and scatter between heaven and earth."
Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, everyone’s hearts trembled!
But just as they were momentarily distracted, Jiang Ling’Er used a Secret Technique to send out the Ice Dragon Flower, which landed silently in Jiang Jichen’s hand.
