Chapter 537 - 535: A Bold Declaration
’In the end, I’m just too weak.’
’Anyone can just come and bully me.’
’If I were strong enough, would there even be a hundred-year pact?’
Right now, he could storm the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Realm, bring Luochen back, and take care of that vile woman!
And... annihilate all the enemies from his past life!
But he couldn’t!
He needed time to grow, to become stronger.
Jiang Jichen had a strong mentality. Normally, he could have quickly recovered through self-regulation.
But these people just had to be aggressive, pushing him to the absolute limit.
Since that was the case, he would just kill them all, quickly and cleanly.
It was also a perfect chance to vent the pent-up frustration in his heart.
Jiang Jichen smiled, a cold and cruel expression on his face.
"Jiang Jichen, you... you dare?" the group of Stone Collectors cried out in alarm, their faces draining of color.
"Why wouldn’t I dare to kill a bunch of trash and animals?"
After speaking, he raised his Holy Sword.
"How audacious! The Land of Chaos City is no place for you to run wild!"
"You court death! Move an inch, and you die!"
"You dare kill someone from my Heavenly Sword Sect? Are you tired of living?"
...
But in that instant, several furious shouts echoed at the same time.
Powerful and astounding figures with immense auras streaked through the air toward them.
The powers behind the Stone Collectors had arrived.
The crowd watched as Jiang Jichen raised his Holy Sword.
They assumed that with the arrival and rebukes of these powerful experts from major factions, he would naturally not dare to strike.
Everyone thought the same.
But in the next moment, they were all stunned by the scene before them.
Jiang Jichen’s expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if he hadn’t heard their shouts at all—as if they didn’t even exist.
The Holy Sword, still held high, came slashing down!
His hand was incredibly steady and strong, without a hint of a tremor.
PSHCHT!
The Holy Sword unleashed a terrifying Sword Aura that swept across the air.
This was the One Sword Life and Death Technique!
Deciding life and death in a single thought.
The five Stone Collectors had just breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their backers appear.
They had no time to react, nor could they believe that Jiang Jichen would actually dare to swing his Holy Sword.
They could only watch helplessly as their bodies were sliced in two at the waist.
Their Spirit Infants were severed along with them, and they died on the spot, their blood staining the ground.
The turn of events was far too shocking.
Everyone found it hard to believe!
Even the group that was rushing over was momentarily stunned.
They had been shouting just a moment ago; some hadn’t even finished their rebukes when they witnessed this scene.
They had never encountered a situation like this before.
As some of the strongest powers in Chaotic City, ranking just below the six major factions, wherever they went, they inspired awe. Who would dare to defy them?
And yet, now they had been utterly humiliated!
Trying to act tough only to get slapped in the face—the feeling made them want to vomit blood and go berserk.
It was the first time these experts from the major factions had ever experienced such a feeling.
It was infuriating, enraging!
"Damn it! If I don’t annihilate the Luochen Sect today, I swear I am no wolf!"
"Hmph, how arrogant! A new sect that just entered Chaotic City dares to kill a Stone Collector from my Heavenly Sword Sect?"
"Annihilate their entire sect, execute their kin!"
...
These people made their threats, preparing to attack.
The newly arrived group did not include anyone from the six major factions of Chaotic City.
They were merely a few of the top-tier powers that ranked below the six major factions.
The Human Race’s Heavenly Sword Sect, the Beastman Race’s Wild Wolf Gate, the Undead Race’s Soul-Extinguishing Sect, and the Asura Clan’s Soro Gang!
Cultivators from four factions had come, twenty people in total.
Each one was a great master. Although not on the expert rankings of the Six Paths Illusion Realm, they were all Nascent Soul Old Monsters who had reached the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm over a century ago.
Their combat prowess was terrifying!
However, the words had barely left their mouths when Jiang Jichen acted even more proactively and aggressively than they did.
He was already brandishing his Holy Sword, unleashing a Group Attack Sword Skill upon the assembled masters.
Thousands of Starlight from the Star Sword Technique!
Sword Shadows flickered like starlight, dotting the sky and enveloping the entire area.
All twenty masters who had rushed over from the four factions were caught within it.
"This..."
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
They knew Jiang Jichen was aggressive, but wasn’t this a bit too much?
Could he possibly be planning to kill all twenty great masters from the four factions right here?
Was this wishful thinking?
Or... could it actually become a reality?
The crowd held their breath, staring intently at the scene, afraid of missing even the smallest detail.
Enveloped by the endless Star Sword Light, the twenty masters no longer wore their previous arrogant expressions; their faces had turned grave.
Spiritual Artifacts appeared in their hands as they parried Jiang Jichen’s Star Sword Light.
Only now did they realize just how powerful and astonishing his Power of Sword Dao was.
They had to expend a great deal of effort just to block the attacks.
Some of the Sword Lights even followed such bizarre trajectories that they found them nearly impossible to dodge.
"We underestimated this kid! Attack together and kill him!" the twenty masters communicated via voice transmission, their expressions ugly.
However, in the next moment, terror appeared on their faces.
Because Jiang Jichen’s Sword Skill was relentless, one technique following another.
Ten Thousand Stars was merely the prelude to his Ultimate Killing Sword Skill.
Starlight Illusion Transformation!
Star Destruction!
Tai Chi Two Forms!
Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams!
...
Man and Sword Unity; the Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao all reside within the heart.
As Jiang Jichen unleashed the Swordsmanship he practiced, he entered a Sword Dao Mysterious Realm, bringing its power to its absolute peak.
The most terrifying part was that he had infused his Swordsmanship with the killing intent in his heart.
He needed to vent this killing intent through his sword.
"Die!"
Jiang Jichen spoke indifferently.
His voice was cold, filled with murderous intent.
PFFT! PFFT...
Jiang Jichen erupted with his strongest Sword Intent. The battle held almost no suspense.
All twenty masters were slain before the gates of the Luochen Sect.
The world seemed broken. Corpses littered the Ancient Street, and blood stained the ground in an incredibly gruesome scene.
Only the gates of the Luochen Sect behind Jiang Jichen remained completely unscathed.
He stood in the middle of the Luochen Sect’s entrance, his sword held horizontally before him, like a towering ancient peak, impossible to surmount.
The world fell silent.
They couldn’t believe this had actually happened.
Jiang Jichen had ruthlessly slaughtered all twenty masters from the four major factions.
The four masters from the Wild Wolf Gate were decapitated, their bodies reverting to their massive, hill-sized wolf forms. Their severed heads lay nearby, eyes wide with defiance and terror.
From the Soul-Extinguishing Sect, the four masters had turned into four skeletons, but their bones were shattered to pieces.
The experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Soro Gang had all been sliced in half, their deaths gruesome.
The scene shocked everyone. They stared dumbly at the young man who looked like a Divine Demon.
At this moment, they knew this young man was truly on the rise, and no one could stop him.
As for Jiang Jichen, he exhaled a breath of frustration and felt a sense of relief.
His eyes swept across the scene, and he stared coldly at the remaining Stone Collectors. "The Luochen Sect is right here. Let’s see who else dares to come collect stones? I held back today. If there is a next time, there will be no mercy!"
"I don’t know what the factions behind you are thinking, but I can make a declaration right here: you can come to destroy my Luochen Sect, but as long as I, Jiang Jichen, am not destroyed, you can all wait to suffer my endless retribution!"
His voice, amplified by a Spiritual Power Secret Technique, echoed throughout Chaotic City, reverberating for a long, long time.
