Chapter 552 550: Idiot
Little Haas had just informed Jiang Jichen of their situation.
Little Haas was an incredibly perceptive person and naturally knew that Hu Jun had designs on his mistresses.
So, the moment he saw Jiang Jichen, he immediately relayed this information to him via voice transmission.
'Hu Jun… to think he dares to have designs on Hua Xiaoling, Blood Hand, and Qing Xun. He truly deserves to die!'
And this was what truly made Jiang Jichen want to kill.
"Master, you have to stand up for me! These people actually dared to bully your most loyal servant!"
Little Haas finished, acting pitiful.
Jiang Jichen felt his skin crawl. He immediately sent a voice transmission, "Little Haas, you've done well, but you had better shut up for me right now!"
'If I let Little Haas keep talking,' he thought, 'I'm afraid that aside from the actual business at hand, not a single word he says will be bearable!'
Jiang Jichen had spoken, so how could Little Haas dare to disobey? Still, he tried to add one last thing. "Master, you can do it! Little Haas—"
However, a fierce glare from Jiang Jichen made Little Haas feel like his hair was about to stand on end. He didn't dare speak again, finishing the sentence only in his heart: 'Little Haas's heart is with you, Master!'
If Jiang Jichen had heard such a sappy line, he probably would have coughed up blood. Thankfully, he had wisely made Little Haas shut up before he could finish.
Jiang Jichen's words instantly stunned everyone present.
Everyone thought they had misheard.
'A Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator was actually threatening to annihilate this entire group from the Xuyuan Sect?'
At first, when they heard the declaration from Hu Jun of the Xuyuan Sect's attendant, they'd thought this Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator and Little Haas's group were doomed.
After all, the gap in their strength was too vast to even be compared.
Leaving aside the fact that Hu Jun was ranked twenty-fifth on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list, everyone else from the Xuyuan Sect was a Nascent Soul Old Monster, and they even had followers who were Beast Kings and Kings of Death.
They were on a completely different level from newcomers to the Six Paths Illusion Realm like Little Haas and his group.
Admittedly, the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list didn't include every powerhouse—it only recorded geniuses who had reached the Nascent Soul Perfection Realm, Beast King Perfect Realm, Spirit King Perfect Realm, or Asura King Perfect Realm within the last hundred years.
Those ancient monsters who had been cultivating for ages weren't on that list!
But regardless, a rank on the Six Paths Illusion Realm's expert list was a clear acknowledgment of one's strength.
And yet, no one knew where this Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator got the audacity to so arrogantly declare he would annihilate the Xuyuan Sect members present.
Soon, the crowd came to their senses and couldn't help but jeer. "I think I just heard the joke of the century!"
"What has the world come to? A mere Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator can be this arrogant!"
"It's a pity his arrogance is suicidal. He's clearly got a death wish. Case closed!"
...
The surrounding crowd already disliked the look of Jiang Jichen.
The fact that a mere Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator could win the favor of so many peerless beauties made them incredibly jealous.
After all, women like Qing Xun, Blood Hand, and the Two Beauties of Yunshui would be considered among the top twenty beauties of any world, no matter where they went!
This only made them feel even more bitter.
Therefore, they wouldn't miss this chance to ridicule and mock Jiang Jichen.
If the surrounding crowd was like this, the members of the Xuyuan Sect were even worse, bursting into uproarious laughter.
"Did I hear that right? This Spirit Infant Realm piece of trash wants to kill all of us? Damn, the world is full of all sorts of idiots!"
"Ooh, his words, I'm so~ scared!"
"Let's capture him and make him a human banner. The stripped-naked kind, of course. Haha..."
...
The Xuyuan Sect members surrounding Jiang Jichen and his group were even more unrestrained in their mockery.
"Enough with the bullshit! Do it now!"
Just then, the attendant beside Hu Jun gave the command.
And so, the Xuyuan Sect members attacked with an extremely casual air, as if it were all a big joke.
They didn't take Jiang Jichen and his companions seriously at all.
In truth, even Tang Han, Suotu, and the Two Beauties of Yunshui were worried for Jiang Jichen, seeing that he was only at the Spirit Infant Realm and hadn't yet entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
So, they immediately rushed to the front, intending to shield Jiang Jichen behind them.
Jiang Jichen knew, of course, that they meant well, but did he really need their protection?
Besides, even Tang Han and Suotu would have to fight with everything they had against these Nascent Soul Old Monsters.
A warmth spread through Jiang Jichen's heart, but that only strengthened his resolve not to let them get hurt because of him.
So, he took a single step and appeared in front of them all.
"All of you, stand back. I alone am more than enough for this."
With his Sinking Mountain in hand, Jiang Jichen made a casual, sweeping strike.
"SMACK!"
"SMACK!"
Two of the Xuyuan Sect's Nascent Soul Old Monsters who had charged in close were sent flying by Jiang Jichen's Sinking Mountain before they could even react.
They were torn limb from limb, their flesh and blood scattering across the ground.
Even their Spirit Infants were instantly turned to pulp by the terrifying force.
This...
Only then did the entire area fall into a deathly silence.
They had just witnessed the Spirit Infant Realm youth deliver two strikes with his blade, casually and lightly.
As if he were swatting a pair of flies!
And just like that, two of the Xuyuan Sect's weaker Nascent Soul Old Monsters were torn to pieces, their Spirit Infants turned to pulp, deader than dead.
Among all the people on the giant mountain peak, how many of them were capable of such a feat?
The jeers, the sarcasm, the disdainful expressions, the contemptuous postures.
In that instant, they all vanished.
Replaced by stunned silence.
'How could a Spirit Infant Realm Cultivator be so strong?'
'Who is he?'
The expressions on everyone's faces turned grim.
Because they had just been proven utterly wrong, and the humiliation stung.
Moreover, the deaths of those first two Xuyuan Sect members were merely the prelude to a massacre.
Wielding Sinking Mountain and using his Shadow Step, Jiang Jichen's close-quarters attacks were both unstoppable and invincible.
"SMACK! SMACK..."
"SLASH! SLASH..."
"Ah, no—"
As Jiang Jichen's figure flickered in and out of view, people were continuously either smashed to bits or cleaved in two.
Their Spirit Infants shot out from their ruined bodies, screaming in terror.
But the Soul Refining Banner in Jiang Jichen's hand was already waiting.
With a casual wave of the banner, all the Spirit Infants were annihilated, their Divine Souls reaped.
The Beast Kings and Spirit Kings were no exception, their bodies destroyed and their lives extinguished.
It was a merciless slaughter!
The Xuyuan Sect disciples who had been roaring with laughter moments ago were now ashen-faced, their bodies trembling.
The casual attitude on their faces was gone, replaced by eyes filled with terror.
A moment ago, they had been calling him an idiot.
Now, they realized they were the real idiots.
They had clearly run into a ferocious tiger, but had treated it like a lamb to the slaughter.
This was truly courting death!
Their faces were masks of terror, and their hearts were filled with endless regret.
But it was all too late!
Jiang Jichen's speed and Body Technique were simply too astonishing, allowing him to close the distance with ease.
To be closed in on by a Body Cultivator at the Golden Body Sixth Layer who had surpassed all limits... for any Cultivator below the Saint Realm, it was a catastrophe, a nightmare!
BANG!
The last Nascent Soul Old Monster from the Xuyuan Sect was sent flying, and Jiang Jichen finally stood before Hu Jun and his attendant.
"Now, it's just you two left."
Jiang Jichen strode forward, swinging his Sinking Mountain in a devastating slash.
