Chapter 424 - 422: Kill You
The incident with Nangong Wanyu!
If this news got out in the Southern Continent, it would cause a monumental shockwave.
Jiang Jichen’s fame would likely reach a whole new level, to the point where he’d be known by all.
As for Nangong Wanyu, she would clearly become a laughingstock.
The Nangong Family, in turn, would be shamed and humiliated.
Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to react.
They couldn’t believe it; they found it hard to accept.
Even the Golden Robe Young Master, Tianyao, was stunned on the spot.
The scene was simply too shocking, its impact too immense.
Of course, it was also incredibly crude and an absolute eyesore.
After all, Nangong Wanyu was the great young lady of the Nangong Family’s previous generation, as well as one of the few strongest Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators among the younger and middle-aged generations.
Her status was incredibly high and astonishing!
And yet, in front of this massive crowd, someone had spanked her backside raw?
Anyone who witnessed it would likely be stunned speechless on the spot.
In truth, Nangong Wanyu wasn’t seriously injured. She still had the strength to fight.
But in that state, how could she have the face to stay?
Jiang Jichen watched Nangong Wanyu disappear into the distance and sighed inwardly. ’What a pity.’
He’d actually been confident he could finish off Nangong Wanyu under those circumstances.
But he hadn’t expected her to retreat immediately without a moment’s hesitation.
Watching her disappear and hearing her parting words, Jiang Jichen shouted after her, "Hmph! If you don’t learn to repent, I’ll continue this next time!"
Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the fleeing Nangong Wanyu almost stumbled and had the urge to rush back to kill him.
But in the end, only a hateful, enraged shriek was heard, followed by silence.
Evidently, Nangong Wanyu had gone far away and would not be coming back.
The crowd, however, felt faint upon hearing Jiang Jichen’s words.
’He... he actually wants to do it again?’
At this moment, a deep chill rose in the hearts of many female cultivators.
They felt that Jiang Jichen was too terrifying, a Demon among demons who must never be provoked.
"This... isn’t Jiang Jichen a bit too ruthless?"
"Horrifying... terrifying..."
...
With Nangong Wanyu gone, many people finally dared to discuss the matter in low voices.
However, the battle was clearly not over.
Because there was still the Golden Robe Young Master, Tianyao.
Jiang Jichen fixed a grim, malicious stare on the Golden Robe Young Master. "Now, I’d like to know just who it is that can’t get off this path of return!"
Tianyao had also managed to calm himself, but his expression was incredibly grim.
Even though he knew Jiang Jichen was seriously injured, he was no match for him alone.
If Nangong Wanyu hadn’t left, they would have had a fighting chance.
Now, he had no confidence at all!
Tianyao suppressed the hatred and killing intent in his heart. Looking at the blood-soaked Jiang Jichen, he said, "Actually, I can choose not to pursue the matter of you killing my two Protectors. There’s no need for us to fight to the death. You should know who I am!"
In fact, many of Tianyao’s followers were still around.
But having just witnessed Jiang Jichen’s terrifying power, who would dare to face him?
That would be walking straight to their deaths!
Clearly, Tianyao understood this as well.
Even he, by himself, was no longer Jiang Jichen’s opponent.
So, he had no choice but to bow his head, offering to resolve their enmity by leveraging his identity as the Young Master of the Heavenly Sword Alliance.
In the distance, the White-clothed Swordsman Mo Yu, the Bald Man, the Sword Sect Young Pavilion Master, and two of the Three Beauties of Yunshui—Su Xuefei and Shui Yunyao—were also present.
They had watched the entire scene unfold, and their feelings were all incredibly complex.
Su Xuefei, the Pearl of the Su Family, had a look of astonishment flashing in her eyes as she watched Jiang Jichen, a hint of reminiscence on her face.
The mysterious proprietress Shui Yunyao had a strange light flashing in her eyes. ’What is she plotting?’
Her gaze on Jiang Jichen held a fiery intensity, as if the stronger he appeared, the more interested she became.
The Bald Man, who was rather fat with a round face, had a kind expression and smiled amiably like a Buddha.
The White-clothed Swordsman Mo Yu wore a look of surprise, for he had just witnessed Jiang Jichen’s Sword Skill.
’It’s... even better than mine!’
Only the Sword Sect Young Pavilion Master maintained a cold and merciless expression, appearing very mysterious.
These were all people not much weaker than the Golden Robe Young Master. They had already moved ahead but had turned back to watch.
And they seemed quite happy to see the Golden Robe Young Master, Tianyao, make a fool of himself!
In fact, upon hearing Tianyao’s words, the Bald Man’s round face quivered, and his incomparably deep voice rang out, "Hehe... Tianyao, you little brat, look at you now! Donor Jiang, kill him for this Buddha, don’t hold back!"
It would have been better if the Bald Man hadn’t spoken. The moment he did, everyone was instantly petrified.
Jiang Jichen felt his face darken. He thought the Bald Man looked friendly, like some enlightened, holy Buddha.
’But the moment he opened his mouth, he was calling for Tianyao to be killed. Was... was this really a monk?’
Jiang Jichen couldn’t be bothered with the onlookers. He just stared at Tianyao indifferently and said, "Your two Protectors tried to kill me, and I fought to the death to kill them in return. And now you’re telling me you won’t pursue the matter? Heh... What do you think you are? Is it up to you to decide whether to pursue it or not?"
This string of merciless words made Tianyao’s expression change drastically.
He had thought that by revealing his identity and offering to peacefully resolve the situation, the other party would give him some face and back down.
But he never expected the man to show him a shred of respect, publicly refusing and rebuking him.
And Jiang Jichen was actually completely unafraid of the Heavenly Sword Alliance!
Since birth, Tianyao had been high and mighty; no one had ever dared to defy his will.
But now, he was getting a taste of it!
At this moment, he feared he had become an object of ridicule for the entire crowd.
’Jiang Jichen, you deserve to die!’
Tianyao was roaring in his heart.
But he ultimately suppressed his impulse with all his might and continued, "Then what will it take for you to let this matter go?"
Jiang Jichen answered casually, his tone light, "Killing you!"
As he spoke, the entire area fell silent in an instant. The crowd felt as if they had misheard.
But in the next moment, what kind of scene did they witness?
Just as Jiang Jichen spoke, he had already taken a step forward.
His speed was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the sky, reaching the absolute limit.
Then the Holy Sword appeared in his hand, like a True Dragon sweeping across the firmament.
True Dragon Incarnation, a display of innate, ferocious might!
It was the second and final form of the Ancient Wandering Dragon Holy Sword, and also its strongest Sword Skill.
Without a shred of suspense, Tianyao was cleaved in two. His flesh and blood were then annihilated, turning into the Void.
’The Heavenly Sword Alliance’s Young Master, Tianyao, was cleaved in half?’
Everyone stood stunned, falling into a deathly silence.
Even the Bald Man couldn’t help but exclaim, "He actually killed Tianyao? Now that’s what I call savage!"
