Myriad Daos of the Heaven

The first strike was the Dao of Ultimate Killing.

The Sword Intent of the Heavenly Sword Alliance was boundlessly terrifying.

This Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm Swordsman, in particular, had likely not drawn his sword in ten years, having spent the entire time nurturing his Sword Thought.

This one sword strike, earth-shattering and world-shaking, existed for one purpose: to kill his enemy!

At that moment, Jiang Jichen truly felt the crisis of life and death.

But faced with this strongest of Sword Dao attacks, Jiang Jichen advanced instead of retreating.

Sinking Mountain vanished, and the Holy Sword appeared in his hand.

Now, facing the Heavenly Sword Alliance Swordsman’s ultimate killing strike, he finally unleashed a sword technique he had kept hidden.

In fact, from the very moment he had seen the Heavenly Sword Alliance Swordsman, Jiang Jichen had held one move in reserve.

He had not used this technique even in the most dire and perilous situations.

He had been waiting for this: for the Heavenly Sword Alliance Swordsman’s peerless, stunning strike.

When it came to his insight and understanding of the Sword Dao, Jiang Jichen didn’t believe he was inferior to many.

He possessed a Sword Technique that could only be used after stepping into the Spirit Infant Realm.

He had never used it before.

Now, facing this strike that the Heavenly Sword Alliance Swordsman had spent ten years preparing, he held back no longer and unleashed it directly.

The Holy Sword in his hand seemed to merge with Jiang Jichen, becoming one with him.

All his remaining power and spiritual energy flowed into this single strike.

He even activated a Secret Skill, forcibly erupting his potential to enhance his combat strength.

Then, the Holy Sword traced a divine, unpredictable arc through the air, like a celestial rainbow.

It seemed to want to tear open the heavens and charge into the Ninth-Realm;

It also seemed to want to cross the Star River and shake loose the stars from the sky.

A terrifying strike, containing the Great Dao of the heavens.

This was the Sky-reaching Sword!

However, even though Jiang Jichen had entered the Spirit Infant Realm, he could only barely manifest this Sword Technique, unleashing just one ten-thousandth of its true power.

But... it was enough!

A contest of the Sword Dao was a comparison of Sword Technique, Sword Intent, and Sword Thought!

At this moment, Jiang Jichen was like an incomparably sharp Sword Aura, capable of slicing through any obstacle.

CLANG!

The Sword Auras clashed, shaking the heavens as the sound carried for a thousand miles.

A section of the world seemed to transform into a storm, filled with endless, terrifying Sword Shadows.

Between Jiang Jichen and the man from the Heavenly Sword Alliance, the earth split open, revealing a bottomless fissure.

It was a gash left by the Sword Auras, terrifying to the extreme.

When all the Sword Light and images vanished, Jiang Jichen still stood in his original spot, blood dripping from the hand that gripped the Holy Sword.

His body was covered in shocking sword wounds.

But his gaze remained bright and spirited as he stared straight ahead.

There, the Heavenly Sword Alliance Swordsman looked dazed, his face a mask of disbelief.

"This Sword Intent..."

He muttered these three words.

SPLAT!

Then, his body abruptly exploded, turning into a rain of flesh and blood that filled the sky.

The Azure Heaven Sword Intent’s power was delayed but absolute.

The first time Jiang Jichen used this incomparably terrifying strike, it displayed an unimaginable might.

Under the heavens, among the countless living beings, where could one hide once this sword was drawn?

This was the true meaning of the Sky-reaching Sword!

For a brief moment, the battlefield fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene.

In disbelief. In denial.

Incredibly, three Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators had been slain.

Of the many Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators who had come to kill Jiang Jichen, only Nangong Wanyu and Qiao He now remained.

Nangong Wanyu’s face was still cold, her eyes filled with endless hatred.

As for Qiao He, a sudden chill ran through his body.

’These three are so strong, and their teamwork is seamless.’

Just a moment ago, he had said Hua Xiaoling and Yee Youmeng were weak and nothing to fear.

Now, he had been instantly proven wrong. Two Late-Stage Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators had died at the hands of those two young women.

Jiang Jichen’s body swayed, but ultimately, he did not fall.

Just like before, he now had to lean on his Holy Sword just to stand firm.

"Two left!"

Jiang Jichen said grimly.

"Mhm, Youmeng and I can work together to take down that old bastard. He looked down on us women. Hmph, I really want to kill him!"

Hua Xiaoling stared at Qiao He as if he were prey.

This made Qiao He feel humiliated, his expression turning incredibly ugly.

’I’m afraid I’ll lose all my dignity today.’

"Alright then, you go kill that old fossil Qiao. Miss Nangong Wanyu’s butt must be itching for another spanking!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen actually stood up straight again, ready to charge into battle.

This scene undoubtedly shocked everyone present.

Not just because of Jiang Jichen’s cockroach-like resilience...

...but also because he actually wanted to go spank Nangong Wanyu’s butt again.

’He’s such a pervert! Has he gotten addicted to spanking Nangong Wanyu’s butt?’

Many people couldn’t help but have such a thought.

At this moment, Nangong Wanyu was already driven mad with rage, about to charge forward again, disregarding her own life.

But before Nangong Wanyu could make a move, the void trembled, and several terrifyingly powerful pressures descended.

Everyone could feel their cultivation being suddenly suppressed, their Spiritual Power unable to flow freely.

The pressure from the sky was like a mountain, making it impossible for them to even raise their heads. They couldn’t help but bow their heads slightly.

This was... Saintly Might!

Almost everyone realized it at the same time.

In an instant, colossal waves of shock crashed through their hearts, shaking them to their core.

’To think that at the final stage of this battle, a Saint would personally descend.’

’This... there’s no way Jiang Jichen can survive now!’

Just now, by fighting to the death, Jiang Jichen had displayed heaven-defying combat prowess.

Having fought to this point, he originally had a sliver of hope of breaking out of the Southern Continent.

Now, with a Saint’s arrival, all he could feel was true despair!

"Excellent! My maternal grandfather has come in person!"

Young Master Shan didn’t feel the Saintly Might at this moment because a certain power was deliberately shielding him.

That power, naturally, came from Young Master Shan’s maternal grandfather, the current Patriarch of the Nangong Family, Nangong Bo.

Besides Nangong Bo, there were also Patriarch Lei Zhen of the Lei Family, the Academy Pharmacy Department Chief Tutor Tian Chuan, Patriarch Feng Yan of the Feng Family, and Patriarch Song Yao of the Song Family.

In an instant, so many terrifying figures had arrived, all of whom had reached the Little Saint Realm.

What was even more frightening were their identities.

Almost all of them were the Patriarchs of a great Noble Family, and they had arrived together.

All of this, just for a single Spirit Infant Realm cultivator... Jiang Jichen!

It was too shocking!

To attract so many Little Saints while only at the Spirit Infant Realm, Jiang Jichen could definitely be considered glorious even in death.

"My Saint Realm grandfather is taking action personally! Jiang Jichen, today there will be no road to heaven and no door into the earth for you!"

"Tremble! Despair! HAHA..."

Young Master Shan laughed with glee, all his previous frustration swept away. He felt utterly delighted.

Nearby, there was also Song Hao!

He too bore an endless hatred for Jiang Jichen.

’Thinking back on it now, I was actually tricked by that brat in the Ancient Illusion Realm.’

’If I had killed him back then, Jiang Jichen wouldn’t be enjoying his endless glory today.’

’And now, it even requires the Song Family Patriarch to personally intervene. How hateful.’

He sneered, "Jiang Jichen, no one can save you. After you die, I will hunt down every single one of your friends and kill them."

All around, there were many others who held grudges against Jiang Jichen.

A moment ago, they were worried Jiang Jichen might escape. Now, their worries were gone. With a Saint personally present, he was sure to die!
