Chapter 290: Gu Ran Slips Away
"Kill them. Start with the weak ones!"
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. It was his soul attack that had delayed He Tian’s move.
Jiang Chen did this to create an opportunity for Wu Qian to attack the weaker members of the Nine Heavens Tower.
At that moment, because of Jiang Chen’s secret interference, Wu Qian had already taken the lead. His powerful attack struck the weaker cultivators of the Nine Heavens Tower with full force.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The waves of power, formed by the laws of the Great Dao, crashed down like a giant river flowing backward. The cultivators of the Nine Heavens Tower were completely overwhelmed.
"Stop! You scum!" He Tian roared, his eyes burning with rage. Watching the scene unfold, he finally jumped into action.
But it was too late!
"Ahh! No, no! How could this happen? Lord He, why didn’t you stop them sooner?"
"Don’t kill me! I had no choice—I didn’t want to fight you!"
"Please, let me live! I don’t want to die!"
Desperate screams echoed through the battlefield as the Nine Heavens Tower cultivators fell, one after another.
The first ones to die were the weaker cultivators in the Inquiring Journey realm.
This shocked Gu Ran completely.
Those cultivators were supposed to be his main targets!
But now, these top-level prey were wiped out by Wu Qian!
"H-how... how could this happen?!" Gu Ran’s eyes widened in disbelief. He was so frustrated that he almost pulled his hair out.
Wasn’t Wu Qian supposed to fight the Dao Palace realm cultivator on the other side? And weren’t the rest of the Nine Heavens Tower cultivators supposed to deal with him and Liu Xiong?
But now, all the Inquiring Journey realm cultivators from the Nine Heavens Tower were dead.
The Dao Comprehension realm cultivators also couldn’t hold out against Wu Qian’s attacks. It was only a matter of time before they fell too.@@@@
Seeing this, He Tian could no longer stand by. He launched a furious attack at Wu Qian.
Gu Ran’s protagonist luck is working again! Jiang Chen thought as he rubbed his chin, looking deep in contemplation.
From the way things look now, those Inquiring Journey realm cultivators will reach Gu Ran first. But they’ll just end up as his stepping stones, helping him grow stronger!
After that, Gu Ran will probably break through to the Dao Comprehension realm right there and defeat those stronger cultivators too.
If that occurs, he’ll gain a huge advantage from this situation! I can’t let that happen!
Jiang Chen still had some plans left to use in the Doomsday Cave Heaven, like summoning Ji Mingxiu and the others. But they were too far away to arrive in time.
So, he had no choice but to step in himself.
Here’s what I’ll do... Watching Gu Ran closely, Jiang Chen began to form a plan in his mind.
Jiang Chen had no intention of killing the weaker cultivators chasing after Gu Ran. They were just small fry, and attacking them would reveal his presence. That would ruin his advantage of knowing more than his enemies.
Instead, Jiang Chen’s plan focused on He Tian and Lu An. But he still didn’t want to show himself.
To be exact, he planned to just speak.
At that moment, high in the sky, Wu Qian pushed He Tian back with one strong move. He coldly looked at the two people trying to surround him.
"You still have a chance to back off. If you interfere with the plan of that Great Powerhouse, you will pay the price," Wu Qian warned.
"A Great Powerhouse? Hah! Stop bluffing!" Lu An sneered, his icy gaze fixed on Wu Qian. "In this Cave Heaven, who could possibly be stronger than us? I, Lu An, am already the Great Powerhouse!"
Lu An’s eyes flashed as he continued, "Old man, hand over everything you got from the inheritance. Otherwise, I’ll make you beg for death!"
He then turned his attention to Liu Xiong below.
Lu An planned to kill Liu Xiong first to send a message to everyone else.
But just then, a faint voice echoed in Lu An’s ears. The voice sounded calm and distant, as though it was looking down on the entire world.
"Oh? Is that so? You are the Great Powerhouse in this Cave Heaven?"
"What?!" Lu An’s body stiffened like a scared cat. His pupils shrank as he looked around wildly, trying to find the source of the voice.
"Who’s there?!" he shouted, using his divine sense to search the area.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t sense anyone at all!
This only made Lu An even more nervous. If he couldn’t detect the person, it meant their divine sense was much stronger than his—so strong that they might belong to the Transcendence realm!
