Chapter 640: Chapter 639: You Have No Other Choice

After the punch, Hei Ye’s expression became incredibly savage. This one punch wasn’t enough to kill him.

In an instant, a tremendous power began to erupt.

This power was terrifying, as Hei Ye unleashed nearly all of his strength.

The moment the power coalesced, Hei Ye attacked Jiang Zuo directly.

"Face my wrath!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A massive explosion echoed between heaven and earth, its shockwave blasting straight into the sky.

BOOM! The ceiling of the already-cracked cave mansion was blown wide open.

The interior of the cave mansion was swept by the aftershock of this power.

Those who were close were all in bad shape.

Even the Stone Forest was almost completely destroyed.

When the aftershock dissipated, all that remained on the ground was a pile of charred, mangled flesh.

"No, impossible! Impossible! I’m Tier Eight! I’m Tier Eight! How can a Tier Eight lose to a Tier Seven?"

This was the voice coming from the pile of flesh.

Jiang Zuo paid no mind to whether he lived or died.

Because that Ghost Cultivator had just tried to seize the Celestial God Flower, and Jiang Zuo would naturally not let him succeed.

As for the previous attack, it had no effect on Jiang Zuo.

’Tier Eight? He hasn’t even reached Inquiry, and he dares call himself Tier Eight?’

The reborn Jiang Zuo was different from his past life. Although his Tier Seven self wasn’t exceptionally strong, it was impossible for another Tier Seven to harm him. Even a Tier Eight who hadn’t reached Inquiry was not strong enough to injure him.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo looked at the Ghost Cultivator, who was staring back at him nervously.

Gui Jianchou held a finger-like object in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist, this Magical Treasure in my hand possesses the power of a single finger strike from a Tier Nine. While it might not be able to kill you, it’s more than enough to destroy the Celestial God Flower," Gui Jianchou said.

But Jiang Zuo just let out a soft "Oh."

Then, Jiang Zuo moved. He had already been delayed in the Celestial Star Cave Mansion for a long time, and he didn’t know when Su Qi would get out.

’If I can go back sooner, I should.’

He had been here for almost a full day and night.

’Of course, the main thing is I want to see Su Qi sooner and take her flying.’

The moment Jiang Zuo moved, he appeared directly in front of Gui Jianchou.

When Gui Jianchou saw Jiang Zuo move, he, of course, immediately tried to use his Magical Treasure. Since his opponent was forcing his hand, he wouldn’t be polite.

’If I can’t have the Celestial God Flower, no one can.’

He was just a clone; if he died, he died. What if he managed to blow up his opponent along with himself?

They were all the type to choose glorious destruction over shameful survival.

Originally, Gui Jianchou had intended to negotiate, but his opponent gave him no chance.

’Then let’s die together.’

But just as he was activating the Magical Treasure, a force enveloped him, causing even the Magical Treasure to pause.

Jiang Zuo stood before him, his hand already pressed against his chest.

After a moment of shock, Gui Jianchou, ruthless enough, directly used half his life force to activate the Magical Treasure.

"Huh."

Jiang Zuo was a little surprised; the Magical Treasure had actually been activated.

’Looks like this isn’t my own power. As expected, it’s not as easy to control.’

Jiang Zuo had sealed most of the Magical Treasure’s power, but because its owner had activated it with no regard for his own life, a portion of it was still unleashed.

And that portion shot directly toward the Celestial God Flower.

Jiang Zuo couldn’t leave right now; after all, he had to keep Gui Jianchou sealed.

Tier Nine Power was no joke.

"Hahahaha!" Gui Jianchou laughed maniacally. "There’s nothing you can do now, is there? If I can’t have the Celestial God Flower, no one can!"

"Hahahaha, no one can have it!"

However, at that very moment, just as the attack was about to crush the Celestial God Flower...

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the Celestial God Flower.

This person shielded the Celestial God Flower with her back.

BOOM!

*SPURT!*

The immense attack made her spit blood, and her aura fell into chaos.

She then collapsed next to the Celestial God Flower.

And she was, of course, the Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan.

This unexpected turn of events stunned both Jiang Zuo and Gui Jianchou.

Gui Jianchou, in particular, was furious.

The Celestial God Flower was still intact. Didn’t that mean his opponent would take it?

But he no longer had the strength to resist.

Jiang Zuo didn’t look at the Celestial God Flower again. His hand remained pressed against Gui Jianchou’s chest as he whispered, "Remember, you cannot harm and you cannot touch the people of the Holy Land, or the things of the Holy Land."

"Otherwise, you will die."

Hearing this, Gui Jianchou’s pupils shrank. ’This person... is he from the Holy Land?’

’They can already venture out?’

Then, Jiang Zuo’s power acted upon Gui Jianchou.

And Gui Jianchou’s body began to shatter and disappear.

This Ghost Cultivator had to die.

Jiang Zuo was also warning his main body.

The man’s appearance had naturally let Jiang Zuo know who had attacked the Holy Land back then, and who was coveting the Immortal Spirit Spring.

He had to give them a warning.

After Gui Jianchou had completely died, Jiang Zuo took the finger-shaped Magical Treasure.

He glanced at it and then tossed it away. It was already broken and had no value.

After that, Jiang Zuo walked over to the Celestial God Flower. This was indeed a real Celestial God Flower. Others might not be certain, but Jiang Zuo naturally could be.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Zuo crouched down and transplanted the Celestial God Flower.

After Jiang Zuo finished transplanting it, the Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan struggled to raise a hand. She lifted her head to look at Jiang Zuo and said weakly, "It’s... it’s mine."

Jiang Zuo didn’t leave immediately. He looked at the Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan and said, "The Celestial God Flower did indeed survive because you protected it. To say it is yours is not unreasonable."

"However, I am the only one who can take the Celestial God Flower. To say it is mine is indisputable."

"Because I am stronger than all of you."

The Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan powerlessly lowered her hand. She truly had no strength left.

Then she murmured, "I... I beg you."

She, the Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan, had never begged anyone in her entire life.

Jiang Zuo looked down at her and said, "Under normal circumstances, I could give you the Celestial God Flower."

That’s right. Normally, the Celestial God Flower was of little use to Jiang Zuo, a balcony decoration at most.

’Since the flower survived because she protected it, I might as well not take it.’

But Jian Shisan wanted this flower, so he had to take it back.

Therefore, Jiang Zuo could not give it to her.

At this point, Jiang Zuo spoke again, "Six months from now, I can promise you one thing, whether it’s a problem with your Cultivation or your lifespan."

"Have the Black-robed Demon Cultivator contact me. I will help you solve it."

With that said, Jiang Zuo turned to leave.

But he heard the Demon Cultivator Nan Xuan’s weak question, "How... how can I trust you?"

Without turning his head, Jiang Zuo replied, "Because you have no other choice."

---

Jiang Zuo left, and the battle was over.

Hiding far away, the Black-robed Demon Cultivator breathed a sigh of relief. He lowered his telescope and said, "Thankfully, Po Xiao didn’t finish Master off."

Chi Xue Child also lowered his telescope. "This Cultivation Version Telescope of yours works pretty well. A single First-Grade Spirit Stone really isn’t expensive."

Blade Master Hai Bian lowered his telescope as well. "I’m the one who paid for it, so of course you don’t think it’s expensive."

Then, Blade Master Hai Bian asked the Black-robed Demon Cultivator, "Your Master is severely injured. Aren’t you going over there?"

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator shook his head. "I’d better let my Junior Sister go. Master definitely doesn’t want to see me right now. After all, I’m the one who has to name the price."

Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."

Chi Xue Child: "..."

The Black-robed Demon Cultivator then called his Junior Sister.

"Junior Sister, I’m about to activate the puppet. Your consciousness will be transferred over. Don’t worry, there won’t be any damage; this thing of mine is high-grade."

"Oh, right, Master is severely injured. And remember to pay up."
