Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Whatever You Do, Don’t Kill Him
"Hahaha, looks like you all know who the main character is!" Brother Cheng laughed.
So many people attacking him while only four went for Han Wen and Duan Yue, proving his status.
He was very satisfied.
Immediately, he swung his sword towards Venerable Qi Yan.
He also knew that for now, he couldn’t handle the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, not to mention the opponent brought a lot of helpers.
So this battle was just going through the motions, to be killed according to the usual procedure during combat, to avoid the system thinking he was fighting passively wanting to commit suicide.
The moment he started, he unleashed his full power.
The four major Profound Patterns of Ice, Yin, Yang, and Fire led the way, followed by dozens of other Profound Patterns.
Facing Venerable Qi Yan was a frenzy of attacks.
As for Qi Yan’s attacks and the surrounding siege?
He completely ignored them.
I am attacking instead of defending, the system can’t fault me.
As for dying in battle because of only attacking and not defending, that was just an ’accident’, can’t blame me for wanting to die.
In the Ice Realm, Jiang Cheng could effectively use only the Ice’s Profound Pattern, the other patterns just served as a decorative touch with little significance.
Now in the Immortal Realm, the four major origins, Yin, Yang, Fire, and Ice were here, meaning he had three more trump cards.
The destructive power was skyrocketing.
At this moment, his combat power was already truly approaching that of the Emperor Realm Eighth Layer.
Logically, Venerable Qi Yan, a dignified Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, could still crush him.
The problem was Qi Yan wanted to capture him alive, afraid of accidentally killing him, so he didn’t go all out and was too cautious...
Facing the fifteen Sword Hearts and four Origins, dozens of Profound Patterns, this Emperor Realm Ninth Layer actually got bewildered.
What kind of attack is this?
This person can communicate with so many Origins?
Moreover, each one seems to have considerable power!
How is that possible?
Unwittingly, Jiang Cheng seized the initiative, forcing Qi Yan to retreat.
As for the other Emperor Realm Eighth Layers, when their attacks were about to land on Jiang Cheng, they were also taken aback when they saw he didn’t dodge.
If they accidentally killed him, wouldn’t they be wasting the heavenly opportunity to control the Ice Realm?
So, the experts attacking in concert scrambled to pull back their moves.
The Immortals in the back initially saw Sect Leader Jiang besieged, shouting their despair.
But now, seeing this opening move, they were just stunned.
"Did I see it wrong? Sect Leader Jiang is actually chasing an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer?"
"No mistake, it’s true!"
"Damn, how did this happen?"
"Could the Demon Lord be stronger than the Emperor Realm Ninth Layer?"
They couldn’t quite imagine it.
"Could this be why Sect Leader Jiang became the Lord of the Ice Realm?"
"Isn’t his challenge a bit too much?"
"Yeah, now Han Wen and Duan Yue are already extremely critical, yet Sect Leader Jiang is still actively pursuing the enemy, making the contrast sharply clear!"
"Who cares, Sect Leader Jiang will surely win!"
Immediately, the Immortals in the back erupted in cheers, the shouts and support voices rising like a wave.
Venerable Qi Yan being beaten back step by step by Brother Cheng finally recovered from his momentary daze.
He began to use the Power of Rules to counter Jiang Cheng’s Profound Patterns, gradually suppressing their combined attack.
At the same time, he activated his Crystal Soul to launch a Divine Soul level assault.
Catching someone alive is a technical task.
Not only must you not kill the opponent, but you also need them to lose their combat ability and be captured.
The simplest way is, of course, using Divine Soul invasion, making the opponent’s consciousness scattered, spirit injured, and naturally weakened.
However, during his Crystal Soul invasion, he encountered the same awkward situation as Celestial Venerable Ming Jue had in the past.
Not only did it not succeed, but Brother Cheng, stationed in his Sea of Souls, directly destroyed a wisp of his Divine Thought.
The injured Venerable Qi Yan almost questioned his life.
This kid can simultaneously channel four major Powers of Origin, and even his Divine Soul is at the Crystal Soul level?
What kind of monster is this?
Just then, Brother Cheng also caught on.
The opponent was fighting but also holding back, seemed to want to capture him alive!
This is unacceptable.
This was the least favorable scenario for him.
If captured alive, because the host didn’t die, the system’s resurrection skill wouldn’t work.
By then, he might be unable to call for help.
"What are you doing?"
"Aren’t you Emperor Realm Ninth Layer?"
"Is this all you’ve got, really?"
"And you Emperor Realm Eighth Layers..."
He relentlessly attacked while continuously taunting, hoping the opponent would kill him in anger.
"Did you all skip breakfast, or were you born motherless, stunted from lack of milk?"
"Why are you all so weak, completely powerless!"
"Is the Realm of Yin only capable of this?"
Hearing his sarcastic provocation, the Immortals in the back had no idea what was going on.
They thought Sect Leader Jiang was truly gaining an absolute advantage.
Instantly they became even more elated.
Yet the experts from Chi Yin Palace almost exploded in anger.
"You’re just an Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, are you overestimating yourself?"
"Venerable Qi Yan Protector! Just kill him already!"
"I’m seething with rage, too infuriating, does he think he’s really strong?"
"If it weren’t for wanting to capture him alive, this Elder here could kill him alone!"
"This can’t continue, this brat is ignoring our attacks, doesn’t even care about being killed."
"He’s confident, knowing we won’t kill him, so he’s completely unafraid!"
Honestly, they misunderstood Jiang Cheng.
Brother Cheng just wanted to die...
"Calm down!"
"Think about the enormous gains of controlling the Ice Realm!"
Venerable Qi Yan, equally furious, could only calm the Elders down secretly while fighting.
"Compared to the massive gains, the frustration we feel now is nothing!"
"Whatever happens, don’t kill him."
But he knew this couldn’t go on.
Unable to suppress Jiang Cheng in the Divine Soul level nor kill him, the current result was Jiang Cheng rampaging freely among them.
With four Origins, no one could stop him.
For a moment, both sides grew frustrated.
Brother Cheng was frustrated these guys surrounded him tightly, couldn’t kill them, yet couldn’t break through.
The opponents were frustrated that they couldn’t contain him and had to endure his trash talk.
Venerable Qi Yan fought for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, making a decision.
"Set the Yin Sha Trapping Array!"
Upon hearing this command, the Elders were greatly surprised.
"What? Set the Yin Sha Trapping Array?"
The Yin Sha Array has many types, and the Yin Sha Trapping Array is one of them.
Though not very complex, it follows the common rule that the higher the cultivation level, the stronger its power.
However, once the array is activated, they must all hold different array hubs.
At the same time, they must constantly channel Yin Sha Power into the array, which significantly exhausts them.
Generally, such combined methods are only considered when facing formidable foes.
"Against merely an Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, is it necessary?"
"Exactly, is he really worth it?"
Venerable Qi Yan fought Jiang Cheng while transmitting angrily.
"Have you ever seen an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer failing to capture an Emperor Realm Sixth Layer?"
"Quickly set the array!"
