Chapter 700 - 697: Never Forget to Posture When Fleeing

Chapter 700: Chapter 697: Never Forget to Posture When Fleeing

It was none other than Luoo Xiaoshuang, the Eastern Land’s First Divine Maiden, who intervened to block the strike for Jiang Jichen.

BOOM!

The Void trembled, and a terrifying Power of Destruction was about to erupt.

A clash between experts at the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm, even a casual one, could absolutely annihilate this part of the world, reducing it to the Void.

But a Secret Artifact appeared in the hands of the Supreme Realm elder from the Shuiyun Auction, and he swept it over Jiang Jichen and the others.

The next moment, they were transported into an endless battlefield in the Void.

Immediately after, the Power of Destruction erupted, blasting apart the desolate meteorites around them.

The crowd flew up into the Void, watching the standoff between the mysterious young man from the Xia Family and Luoo Xiaoshuang, the Eastern Land’s First Divine Maiden.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen was still holding Golden Dragon by the neck with a single hand.

He looked coldly at the Xia Family’s young man not far away and said, "Since you want to kill me, then I have a reason to kill you!"

CRACK!

As he spoke, power erupted from Jiang Jichen’s hand, and Golden Dragon, a Saint Second Realm cultivator, was instantly blasted into a mist of blood that scattered into the Void.

"This..."

Seeing this scene, the crowd was shocked into silence.

Young Master Jin Long, who once ran rampant in the Eastern Five Domains Marketplace, was, just like that, blasted into a mist of blood by an unknown young man.

Even now, no one recognized Jiang Jichen.

That was because he came from the Southern Domain, and cultivators from other domains wouldn’t necessarily recognize him.

As for the Southern Continent, his reputation was so great that he was known by nearly everyone.

But few had ever seen him in person.

As for his image on an Imaging Stone?

With the rise of Jiang Jichen’s Realm—especially since he was an existence who broke taboos and surpassed legends—the gap between his recorded image and his actual appearance grew ever wider.

In fact, once a cultivator reached a certain Realm, ordinary Imaging Stones could no longer capture their image at all.

This was because such a person’s resonance with the Heaven and Earth Rules would automatically nullify the Imaging Stone’s recording.

By now, Jiang Jichen’s name had perhaps already spread throughout the entire Mortal World.

After all, he had become the hegemon of the Southern Continent, but there were definitely few who would recognize his true appearance.

Even if he announced his name was Jiang Jichen, seeing how young he was, almost no one would believe he was the hegemon of the Southern Continent and the Sect Leader of the Luochen Sect.

Moreover, legends become more exaggerated as they spread, straying further and further from the truth.

After casually obliterating Young Master Jin Long, Jiang Jichen took a step forward and charged toward the young man from the Xia Family.

"He... He’s only at the Saint First Realm, yet he’s actually taking the initiative to attack the Xia Family’s young man, who’s at the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm!"

"Is... is this unknown young man insane?"

"But you have to admit, he’s incredibly aggressive!"

...

Shock after shock washed over the crowd, leaving them endlessly amazed.

However, no one was optimistic about Jiang Jichen’s chances.

Even if Jiang Jichen was in the Extreme Dao Saint Realm, he was still ultimately just at the Saint First Realm. There was no way he could be a match for a genius at the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm.

They couldn’t understand where Jiang Jichen got the confidence to launch an attack on the Xia Family’s genius, an expert at the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm.

Even Luoo Xiaoshuang, the Eastern Land’s First Divine Maiden, watched the unknown young man’s actions with confusion.

’I should warn him to be careful!’

But seeing how this unknown young man had been so dominant all along, giving off an unfathomable feeling, she finally suppressed the urge.

After all, he had appeared in the lower tiers, so who could have possibly imagined he could casually produce six hundred thousand Middle Level Six Paths Spirit Stones?

Moreover, those who returned from the Six Paths Illusion Realm were never simple and could not be judged by their Cultivation Realm.

Thus, Luoo Xiaoshuang’s interest in Jiang Jichen was piqued. ’I want to see what other astonishing tricks he has up his sleeve.’

When Young Master Xia saw Jiang Jichen actually daring to attack him, his face turned livid.

And the opponent, a mere Saint First Realm cultivator, even dared to boast about killing him!

"Kill me? If that bitch Luoo Xiaoshuang hadn’t blocked that strike just now, you’d already be a corpse."

"But it makes no difference. You’re just coming here to die now, and no one can save you!"

The young man from the Xia Family roared in fury and charged forward to meet him.

"Die!"

With a cold shout, he struck out with his palm again.

This palm strike held the power to destroy mountains and rivers; it was boundlessly powerful.

The entire space around Jiang Jichen was crushed under the pressure of that giant palm.

"Break!"

However, Jiang Jichen activated his Holy Body Power, pushed his own defenses to their maximum, and used his body as a weapon, crashing straight into the giant palm.

BOOM!

The giant palm shattered, and Jiang Jichen appeared before the young man from the Xia Family.

At this moment, Youu suddenly flashed out from behind Jiang Jichen.

He was so impossibly fast, aided by a Secret Technique, that no one could see his figure at all.

SMACK!

Youu appeared, threw out a casual palm strike, and then immediately vanished.

Jiang Jichen’s movements were also incredibly fast, seamlessly following Youu’s strike to launch his own deadly assault on the young man from the Xia Family.

The young man from the Xia Family was instantly and severely injured by Youu’s palm strike.

Even he hadn’t seen who had attacked; it was as if a phantom had flashed past.

He was grievously wounded, and immediately after, he suffered Jiang Jichen’s relentless close-quarters assault.

PTHU!

PTHU!

...

Under the close-range barrage, taking heavy blows from Jiang Jichen, even the genius from the Xia Family at the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm couldn’t stop spitting up blood.

Finally, he paid a price and used a Secret Skill to flash away, escaping from Jiang Jichen’s close-range assault.

But by this point, he was already severely injured, with not even a tenth of his combat power remaining!

His body was covered in deep gashes, his clothes were stained with blood, and he looked incredibly wretched and miserable.

And all of this had happened in just a brief moment.

Other than the major figures in the third-floor private rooms, like Luoo Xiaoshuang and the Supreme Realm cultivator from the Shuiyue Auction House, who had barely glimpsed Youu’s attack...

...everyone else still thought it was Jiang Jichen who had heavily injured the young man from the Xia Family.

After the two separated, the entire audience watched this scene in utter shock.

They simply couldn’t believe that the genius from the Xia Family, an expert at the Eighth Layer of Saint Realm, had been so miserably beaten by an unknown young man at the Saint First Realm?

"A puny Eighth Layer of Saint Realm cultivator dares to act arrogant before me? Now you know how formidable I am!"

"Hmph, I absolutely wouldn’t have spared you today, but I have urgent business to attend to. I’ll spare your dog’s life for now and come to collect it later when I’m free!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jichen turned and left, moving at an incredible speed.

The crowd was dumbfounded, unable to react at all.

Such a sudden turn of events was truly...

However, they soon understood what was going on.

Because not long after Jiang Jichen left, two Supreme Realm powerhouses flashed into existence beside the young master from the Xia Family.

"Damn, so that kid was running for his life!"

The crowd realized what had happened and was left speechless.

That unknown young man was truly one of a kind. One moment he was acting all high and mighty, and the next he was fleeing for his life.

"Second Young Master, you..."

The Supreme Realm expert from the Xia Family who had appeared was just about to ask a question.

The Xia Family’s Second Young Master immediately and rudely interrupted, "What are you wasting time with nonsense for? Hurry up and hunt that kid down! I want to make it so there’s no place for him left in the Eastern Land."

The two Supreme Realm cultivators from the Xia Family could only flash away and give chase in Jiang Jichen’s direction.

However, when it came to the art of escaping itself, Jiang Jichen would dare to claim he was first among all those beneath the Supreme Realm, and no one would dare claim to be second.

If he was determined to escape, not even a Supreme Realm cultivator could hope to catch him.
