Chapter 321: The Terror of Jiang Chen’s Power
"What?! This is impossible!" Bo Lang’s eyes widened in disbelief, the shock almost overwhelming his soul.
At that moment, Jiang Chen’s power was so overwhelming that even at Bo Lang’s peak, he couldn’t compare.
Panic surged within Bo Lang, and he felt a strong urge to retreat.
However, a full-force attack like the one Bo Lang had launched couldn’t be easily stopped. Realizing his situation, he gathered every bit of his strength and focused it on Jiang Chen, hoping that if he could survive this strike, he might find a chance to escape.
Just as Bo Lang’s attack drew near, Jiang Chen quickly activated his newly perfected defensive technique related to the Metal Dao, the Golden Cicada Umbra Shield Skill.
In an instant, a golden cicada appeared out of nowhere, surrounding Jiang Chen.
Thud!
Bo Lang’s scythe hit the golden cicada’s protective shield.
Ting!!
A sharp, nearly unbearable sound rang out.
The golden cicada around Jiang Chen shattered, scattering into countless golden fragments that lit up the sky.
A spark of hope flickered in Bo Lang’s eyes as he raised his scythe again.
But then, his face twisted in horror as he realized he no longer felt his weapon hit its target.
Instead, a chilling cold, like the depths of hell, crept up his spine, making him shiver uncontrollably.
From behind?! Bo Lang’s eyes widened in terror, an internal scream echoing in his mind. He tried to move forward, attempting to escape the danger.
But it was a moment too late!
Death Attraction Nine Tribulations Sword Technique!
Jiang Chen quickly swung his right hand in a sharp motion, and a sword with a glowing white blade appeared out of thin air. It was the immortal tool, the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword!
If he was planning to ambush the demon race, why wouldn’t he use the most prized weapon of the Purple Heaven Holy Land?
Indeed, earlier, he had asked Ji Mingxiu to get the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword, and he had kept it with him ever since.
With a desperate tone, Bo Lang cried out, "No—! You can’t do this!"
Panic filled his eyes, and his voice trembled with fear. "The powerful demon legion is on its way. Let me go, and I promise I will do the same for you!"
His entire being was filled with desperation as the crushing fear of death closed in on him.
But Jiang Chen ignored his desperate plea.
Slash!
With a single, swift movement, the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword sliced through Bo Lang’s neck. Blood sprayed like a fountain, and his severed head flew into the air.
He paused for a moment to steady himself and let out a sigh of relief. Good thing I have the Void Tribulation Soulring, he thought. Without it, I would’ve been in real trouble.
Shaking off a brief wave of dizziness, Jiang Chen reflected on the intense confrontation. It struck him that defeating Bo Lang’s Middle-stage Transcendence realm soul had been no small accomplishment.
Despite everything, it had all gone smoothly, and Bo Lang had been eliminated for good.
Jiang Chen retrieved the Nether Soul Crystal and aligned it with the Void Tribulation Soulring mark on his forehead.
Moments later, the Nether Soul Crystal was absorbed by Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.
With Bo Lang’s Nether Soul Crystal added to their strength, the pair came close to fully recovering their Middle-stage Transcendence realm powers.
Then, with a single command, Jiang Chen directed both the Wordless Heavenly Jade and the Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo Bloodline, absorbing both Bo Lang’s qi and blood energy, as well as a portion of his cultivation base.
Wasting no time, he immediately launched an attack on Jiu Xiaoyin.
Meanwhile, Jiu Xiaoyin was rooted in place, the horrifying image of Bo Lang’s death burned into his mind. His body shook uncontrollably, and his face was pale with terror. "How... how could this happen?" he muttered, his voice trembling with disbelief. "Jiang Chen is just a human prodigy. How can he have such terrifying power?"
This can’t be real... it has to be a nightmare! I have to run! The fear inside him roared louder than reason. Consumed by the instinct to survive, Jiu Xiaoyin turned and fled, flying desperately toward the distant horizon.
"You think you can escape?" Despite his severe injuries, Yu Hong stepped forward, attempting to block and trap Jiu Xiaoyin.
"Get out of my way!" Jiu Xiaoyin roared, summoning all his remaining strength to send Yu Hong flying backward.
Slash!
But it was too late. Jiang Chen had already closed in. With a single, decisive strike, his Purple Heaven Immortal Sword pierced through Jiu Xiaoyin.
A torrent of Sword Qi erupted, riddling Jiu Xiaoyin’s body with countless gaping wounds. In an instant, the Nether Soul Crystal, embedded at the nape of his neck, was severed cleanly and flew straight into Jiang Chen’s grasp.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen repeated the process, absorbing Jiu Xiaoyin’s qi and blood energy, as well as a tenth of his cultivation base before quickly turning his attention to Yu Hong.
He found Yu Hong lying on the ground, his face pale, teetering on the edge of death.
"Is there any hope for him?" Jiang Chen asked, seeking guidance from Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning.
Shangguan Ning sighed softly. "There’s nothing more we can do. He’s been pushing his limits, clinging to life by sheer willpower. But this battle... it was destined to be the end for him."
As Jiang Chen came into view, a flicker of relief appeared in Yu Hong’s eyes.
"Jiang Chen," he croaked weakly, "... these items... I trust you’ll find them useful."
He held out a bracelet, hope shining in his fading eyes. "With you leading the Immortal Martial Continent, victory over the demon race seems certain..."
But as he spoke, his body stiffened, and his voice suddenly fell silent.
Within moments, Yu Hong’s life force faded away.
"Rest in peace now," Jiang Chen murmured, gently taking the bracelet from Yu Hong’s lifeless hand. He then turned his focus toward the direction of the Bottomless Abyss.
Bo Lang’s final threat had revealed an important information: the demon race’s massive legion was about to invade!
