Myriad Daos of the Heaven

At that moment, Jiang Jichen wasn’t looking at the Three Shao Brothers, acting as if they didn’t even exist.

He was mulling over what the crowd had said.

’Silver Spear Goddess, the second pearl of Human Emperor City, fifth on the Central State’s ranking of young experts, Ye Rou!’

’The spot I’m standing on is her exclusive training ground!’

Reflecting on these words, Jiang Jichen instantly understood why this was the only empty spot.

’But what does that have to do with me?’

’This is public land, first come, first served. How can there be any talk of it being "exclusive"?’

These people didn’t dare take the spot, clearly out of fear of Ye Rou’s reputation and power.

They said this was Ye Rou’s training spot, but he hadn’t seen her show up today.

As he was lost in thought, the Three Shao Brothers were already seething with rage.

They had discovered that this kid, a mere Spirit Infant Middle Realm Cultivator, was lost in thought, completely ignoring their existence.

"Some trash Junior Cultivator from the Southern Continent, a mere Spirit Infant Middle Realm, dares to ignore us, the Three Shao Brothers?"

"Damn him!"

"Unforgivable!"

The Three Shao Brothers roared and charged forward to kill.

They wielded extraordinary Magic Techniques.

The third Shao brother, at the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm, condensed an Ultimate Killing Spiritual Seal.

The second brother, at the Initial Stage of Nascent Soul, struck out with a Palm Shadow that manifested like a Spirit Beast pouncing forward to kill.

The eldest brother, at the Nascent Soul Middle Realm, unleashed a Magic Technique, transforming countless Spiritual Patterns into killing intent that descended upon Jiang Jichen.

"Heh heh... When brothers work together, their strength is unparalleled. And yet, the Three Shao Brothers are putting this much effort into dealing with a single piece of trash from the Spirit Infant Realm!"

"I bet he’ll be blown to pieces by this attack!"

"That kid is facing death, yet he’s still trying to act all profound. What an idiot!"

Some people chuckled, convinced the outcome was already decided. The Spirit Infant Realm kid was a dead man.

However, before their laughter could even fade, Jiang Jichen, who had been lost in thought, suddenly lifted his head.

There wasn’t a trace of panic in his eyes.

Only confidence and power.

Meeting his gaze, the momentum of the Three Shao Brothers faltered, their auras involuntarily suppressed.

As they were attacking Jiang Jichen, a thread of unease inexplicably sprouted in their hearts.

"Hmm, I wonder... can you kill people here?"

Jiang Jichen suddenly spoke, as if muttering to himself, yet also as if asking the crowd.

Then, with a flick of his finger, he unleashed the Soul Destruction Finger.

First Style: Cloud Disappearing Rain Scattering!

A mysterious power emerged from the Finger Light, spreading in all directions. The incoming attacks then dissolved into nothingness before they could even reach him.

Second Style: Rainy Sky!

A single ray of Finger Light appeared, which then multiplied into a thousand, then from a thousand into tens of thousands. In an instant, they filled the void like a dense downpour from the heavens.

Faced with such an attack, the expressions of the Three Shao Brothers changed dramatically.

"This is bad!"

They cried out in alarm.

But the Finger Light was too fast, gone in the blink of an eye—a fleeting, dreamlike moment of deadly brilliance.

The Three Shao Brothers had been in the midst of their own attack.

But their attacks were instantly nullified, failing to even touch a single hair on his head.

Then, the counterattack from the Spirit Infant Junior Cultivator they had dismissed as trash came, ferocious, sharp, and blindingly fast.

They realized they couldn’t possibly defend against such an assault.

’Is... is this really an attack a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator should possess?’

PFFT! PFFT!...

"AHH...!"

Their defenses were effortlessly pierced as the dense, rain-like Finger Light struck their bodies.

Then, blood flew as their bodies were riddled with countless Blood Caves. Only the locations of their Spirit Infants were left unpierced.

The Three Shao Brothers collapsed, lying in a pool of their own blood, staring blankly at the sky.

Only now did they understand why he had asked, "can you kill people here?"

He could have annihilated them with a single finger.

But because he didn’t know if killing was permitted here?

He had only crippled them instead!

’How laughable. We actually saw such a terrifying figure as trash.’

’And we wanted... to kill him?’

’Yet the three of us couldn’t even withstand a single one of his moves!’

Regret, hatred, and bitterness filled them, but it was all too late.

Meanwhile, everyone in the crowd was stunned into silence.

Those who had mocked him, who had been so certain that the fight was a foregone conclusion and that Jiang Jichen would die.

Now, they were in shock, their hearts reeling as if battered by colossal waves.

A Spirit Infant Middle Realm Cultivator had defeated the Three Shao Brothers in a single move!

’When did another heaven-defying figure like this emerge from the Southern Continent?’

Aside from the Cultivators from the Southern Continent, those from the other Four Domains, including the Central State, found it utterly unbelievable and hard to accept.

’Who is he?’

Only now did this question arise in everyone’s minds.

They all wanted to know: who was this Spirit Infant Middle Realm Cultivator from the Southern Continent?

So, someone sent a telepathic message to inquire with the Cultivators from the Southern Continent.

His name is Jiang Jichen!

Soon, they all knew Jiang Jichen’s name.

And they began to dig for every scrap of information they could find on him.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen had swept aside the Three Shao Brothers with a mere flick of his finger.

His expression remained unchanged, as if he had just done something utterly insignificant.

"I think... it probably is okay to kill people here. After all, you were just trying to kill me!"

Jiang Jichen said this as if he had just come to a sudden realization.

The Three Shao Brothers, lying in their pool of blood, turned pale with terror upon hearing this. They were just about to beg for their lives...

...but Jiang Jichen had already flicked his finger again.

The Finger Light shot out like an arrow, piercing the locations of their Spirit Infants.

The Three Shao Brothers were dead.

The crowd was once again stunned by Jiang Jichen’s decisive and ruthless methods.

Recalling the information they had just learned about him, the faces of many in the crowd turned pale.

Many of them had mocked and belittled Jiang Jichen just moments ago. Unease grew in their hearts, fearing he might come after them next.

Just as this unease spread through the crowd, a white figure shot forth like a bolt of lightning, appearing before everyone in an instant.

It was a woman of peerless beauty and icy demeanor.

She wore white Battle Armor that perfectly outlined her flawless curves.

Moreover, her face was a picture of absolute beauty: skin whiter than snow, vermilion lips and pearly teeth, a delicate, chiseled nose, and slender, phoenix-like eyes. Not a single feature was anything less than perfect.

Together, they formed a vision of infinite allure.

She now held a Silver Spear, her hair fluttering. Her sharp, phoenix-like eyes were fixed coldly on Jiang Jichen as she spoke, her voice crisp and ethereal.

"So it was you. You occupied my training ground and stained it with blood. You deserve to die!"

"I, Ye Rou, do not kill nameless nobodies. State your name!"

The woman in white Battle Armor held her Silver Spear with a Jade Hand, pointing it at Jiang Jichen as she spoke.

Facing Ye Rou, Jiang Jichen let his gaze roam over her wantonly.

’Worthy of being called the second pearl of Human Emperor City, indeed!’

’A true feast for the eyes.’

"Miss Ye Rou, I am Jiang Jichen. But whether or not I deserve to die is not for you to decide!"

"If it’s a fight you want, I am not one to be afraid!"

"I, too, possess a spear, and my Spear Technique is so masterful it approaches the Dao itself. Do you dare to compare yours?"

Jiang Jichen spoke with pride, his voice clear and resonant, carrying an innate arrogance that seemed to look down upon the entire world.
