Chapter 710: Chapter 707: Slaughter

SPLAT!

The Elite Holy Dao Fifth-Realm Cultivator was smashed to pieces by the Sinking Mountain, exploding into a shower of flesh and blood.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner flew out, sweeping up the remains in an instant.

At that moment, everyone froze, their eyes fixed on Jiang Jichen.

With one punch and one slash, he had annihilated two Elite Holy Dao Fifth-Realm Cultivators.

Until now, Qian Zhijing had no idea such a tyrannical figure was among them.

Moreover, she had seen that Jiang Jichen was only at the Holy Dao Second Realm and had completely ignored him.

Even the Flower-Picking Thief, Xuu Zhuang, was stunned.

’I should’ve known there was such an incredibly powerful expert here. I should’ve started sucking up to him ages ago. What a miscalculation!’

Xuu Zhuang thought to himself, regretting his choices deeply.

Qian Zhijing’s gaze hardened. Staring at Jiang Jichen, she said, "I never expected someone at the Holy Dao Second Realm to possess such combat strength. But by killing a member of my Qian Family, you’re courting death!"

"And to act so arrogantly in my presence... For a mere Holy Dao Second Realm Cultivator to dare proclaim himself the strongest one here and claim the treasure—it’s laughably ignorant."

Qian Zhijing’s expression turned cold, and a wild Killing Intent erupted from her body.

"Don’t stop! Keep killing! I’ll deal with this arrogant brat myself."

"And that Xuu the Lecher—don’t let him escape."

True to her fiery nature, Qian Zhijing charged directly at Jiang Jichen while ordering her subordinates to continue their assault.

Jiang Jichen gripped the notched Black Short Sword. He felt that with a casual swing, it could pierce the very void—it was sharp to the extreme.

’It really is an extraordinary item!’

Jiang Jichen marveled. This notched Black Short Sword was truly a treasure.

However, it seemed to be a foreign object of some kind, as he couldn’t infuse Spiritual Power into it.

But even without Spiritual Power, the sword could easily tear through all sorts of powerful defenses.

As a close-combat weapon, it was simply marvelous!

Seeing Qian Zhijing charge at him, Jiang Jichen casually put away the Sinking Mountain. Wielding the notched black dagger, he met her head-on.

PFFT!

The two moved at extreme speed, flashing past each other after a powerful strike.

A shallow wound appeared on Jiang Jichen’s body, and blood began to seep out.

Qian Zhijing, however, stared blankly at her own inner armor, from which blood was also seeping.

With a single slash, her opponent’s short sword had easily torn through her Holy Artifact-grade defensive inner armor, leaving a faint scar on her chest.

’If I hadn’t been wearing my Holy Grade Defense Armor during that exchange, my chest would have been sliced in two.’

The thought sent a chill through Qian Zhijing’s heart.

But a sense of humiliation also made her Killing Intent soar.

Jiang Jichen, however, paid no mind to the wound on his body.

He held up the notched Black Short Sword and exclaimed in admiration, "What a fine sword!"

It could slice through even a Holy Grade Defense Armor with ease. Its sharpness was unimaginable.

Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, Qian Zhijing grew furious and attacked again.

But she already knew Jiang Jichen was far stronger than his Cultivation Realm suggested.

Moreover, she had grown wary of the notched black dagger.

Therefore, this time, she dared not be careless and was extremely cautious.

"Since you’re all people who deserve to be killed, this Young Master won’t be polite anymore!"

Jiang Jichen suddenly gave a chilling smile.

Then, with a single step, he dodged away. Instead of facing Qian Zhijing head-on, he charged into the crowd of cultivators.

There, the Qian Family’s cultivators were slaughtering a group of Holy Dao Cultivators.

In a battle like this, there was no right or wrong, no reasoning, and no need for justification.

There was only the rule of the strong and the law of the jungle.

If Jiang Jichen had been any weaker, he would have already been killed by these people.

Therefore, Jiang Jichen naturally felt no pity and attacked without mercy.

His true purpose in killing these people, however, was to feed his Azure Heaven Killing Array and Soul Refining Banner.

Jiang Jichen joined the fray, killing anyone he saw. As far as he was concerned, they were all enemies.

PFFT!

PFFT!

PFFT!

By the time Qian Zhijing caught up to him, Jiang Jichen had already stabbed one Qian Family cultivator and two other Holy Dao Cultivators to death.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner, with perfect coordination, rushed out to feed.

Qian Zhijing charged, but Jiang Jichen dodged her again with a quick sidestep.

When it came to Step Techniques, even Qian Zhijing, a genius of the Saint Sixth Realm, could not compare to him.

"Do you dare face me in a proper fight?"

Qian Zhijing roared, completely enraged.

Jiang Jichen replied coolly, "Don’t have time right now!"

PFFT!

PFFT!

In the time it took to speak, Jiang Jichen had slaughtered two more people.

The notched Black Short Sword was truly peerlessly sharp. Even incredibly strong defenses were like tofu before it, sliced open with ease.

In close combat, it was like giving wings to a tiger. Paired with his Shadow Step, he was unstoppable!

People fell one after another under Jiang Jichen’s notched Black Short Sword.

This was a completely one-sided slaughter!

The group of fighting cultivators was terrified.

Finally, even the Qian Family cultivators and the other cultivators temporarily stopped fighting each other, intending to join forces against Jiang Jichen.

"That’s Young Master Jiang! He has the Star River Divine Stone and the Treasure Map to the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes! Let’s team up and kill him first!"

Someone shouted from among the remaining forty-plus cultivators.

"What? He’s Young Master Jiang?"

The expressions of Qian Zhijing and the others finally changed.

No wonder he was so strong. This time, they had truly picked a fight with the wrong person.

For the past few days, they had been hunting the Flower-Picking Thief, Xuu Zhuang, but they had also been hearing constant news about Young Master Jiang.

He possessed the Venerable Divine Material, the Star River Divine Stone; he carried the Treasure Map to the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes; and he had turned the tables on ten waves of ambushers, killing them all.

News like this had already spread throughout the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes, to the point where everyone knew of him.

Qian Zhijing and the others had never seen Young Master Jiang in person, but they had heard his name.

At this moment, their minds were in turmoil.

"He’s only one person! What’s there to fear? We can join forces, kill him, and take his Treasure Map! Then we can go treasure hunting together. It’ll definitely work!"

Someone suggested.

But even with his identity exposed, Jiang Jichen’s expression didn’t change. He didn’t even pause, continuing his flashing slaughter.

By the time their voices faded, Jiang Jichen had already slaughtered another seven people.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner were overjoyed, as they could feast continuously.

Jiang Jichen fully unleashed his close-quarters assassination techniques, appearing terrifying to the extreme.

"This is impossible! He’s a butcher!"

"Ah! I surrender! I give up! Please spare me!"

"No, I have to retreat! I can’t face this Killing God, this Demon."

But in the next instant, unable to endure Jiang Jichen’s one-sided slaughter any longer, people began to scream in terror, pleading for mercy or trying to retreat.

Jiang Jichen’s expression remained unchanged. Unmoved, he continued to swing the Black Short Sword, slaughtering the cultivators who were, in his eyes, too weak to withstand a single blow.

Qian Zhijing’s expression was now incredibly grim.

She realized she was completely powerless against Jiang Jichen and could only watch helplessly as he slaughtered everyone.

Some tried to escape, but how could they possibly match Jiang Jichen’s speed?

Moreover, the Azure Heaven Killing Array had automatically manifested an Ultimate Killing Prohibition, sealing off the entire area.

This... Jiang Jichen intended to wipe them all out!

Everyone understood. Their faces turned deathly pale with terror.
