Chapter 716 - 713: Heaven-Defying Battle Record

Chapter 716: Chapter 713: Heaven-Defying Battle Record

Qian Zhijing was not the only one; Luoo Xiaoshuang, the number one goddess of the Eastern Land, also saw the scene in the sky.

She suddenly spoke, "I said before that we’d travel together. Since he’s in trouble now, I must help!"

With that, her figure flashed and she disappeared.

Wan Shan’s expression instantly turned foul!

"Boss, what’s our move?"

At that moment, one of Wan Shan’s followers asked the question.

"What else can we do? I have no idea what’s gotten into that little bitch Luoo Xiaoshuang, getting so worked up over a piece of trash at the Holy Dao Second Realm."

"This time, I’ll lurk behind and find an opportunity to eliminate Young Master Jiang and capture Luoo Xiaoshuang alive. When that happens, the Luoo Family will have no choice but to surrender," Wan Shan said coldly.

Nearby, Xia Hao stared into the void with a chilling gaze.

"Heh, fine. We’ll head to the outskirts of the Blood Radiance Forest. If he’s still alive, then we’ll make our move."

"We must get our hands on the Star River Divine Stone and the Treasure Map."

Xia Hao led Jin Zhao, the Jin Family Master, and a group of powerful followers toward the Blood Radiance Forest.

And so, because of Jiang Jichen alone, the situation in the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes grew turbulent as numerous groups began to move.

For the Treasure Map and the Star River Divine Stone, everyone rushed toward the Blood Radiance Forest.

Of course, with the Mutant Beast stampede underway, no one dared to enter the forest itself.

In their eyes, even if Jiang Jichen died, his belongings would be left behind for the taking.

Outside the Blood Radiance Forest in the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes, the figures of powerful experts flickered as they all converged on a single location.

But Jiang Jichen was oblivious to everything happening outside.

He did, however, see the image in the void above, a reflection of everything happening down here.

He knew that everything he was doing was exposed for all to see.

However, he had no time to worry about such things. He was in a perilous situation, and his life could be extinguished at any moment.

Jiang Jichen now fully unleashed his talent for battle. Using his Step Technique, Divine Sense, combat instincts, experience, and more, he began a campaign of mobile combat within the Blood Radiance Forest.

SMACK!

With a deft application of force, Jiang Jichen slapped an incoming Mutant Beast off its collision course, while his other hand, gripping the Black Short Sword, shot out like a bolt of lightning.

Having absorbed enough Blood Crystals, the Black Short Sword now glowed with a blood-red edge, slicing through Mutant Beasts with ease.

The Azure Heaven Killing Array and Soul Refining Banner didn’t just guard his flanks; they also cleaned up the battlefield, collecting Blood Crystals.

Thus, Jiang Jichen fought on the move, assassinating beasts while simultaneously recovering his energy.

He popped Holy-grade Rejuvenation Pills into his mouth as if they were candy.

The *Undying Scripture* and the *Ancient Source Character Scripture* were both operating at their absolute limits.

The *Undying Scripture* refined energy into Holy Body Undying Power to replenish his physical strength;

The *Ancient Source Character Scripture* converted it into Holy Dao Spiritual Power!

Of course, Jiang Jichen was constantly sustaining injuries. But thanks to the *Demon Phoenix Technique*, he could recover from even the most severe wounds in the briefest of moments, as long as he had a second to breathe.

At this point, Jiang Jichen had stopped caring about the side effects of the *Demon Phoenix Technique*. He pushed it to its absolute limit, focused solely on mending his injuries.

Having reached the third cycle of the *Demon Phoenix Technique*, its effects were truly astonishing.

And so, Jiang Jichen dashed through the Divine Mysterious Ancient Forest, taking down one Mutant Beast after another.

When faced with attacks from the giant Mutant Beasts, Jiang Jichen would simply evade, refusing to meet them head-on.

The crowd outside couldn’t help but gasp in amazement as they watched, finding the scene unbelievable.

At the same time, someone finally figured out Jiang Jichen’s identity!

It was all because of the Seven-colored Spiritual Power.

Right now, in the entire Mortal World, who didn’t know that Jiang Jichen possessed Seven-colored Spiritual Power and was the new overlord of the Southern Continent?

Furthermore, some Cultivators from the Six Paths Illusion Realm knew of Jiang Jichen’s heaven-defying battle record.

And some Cultivators from major powers knew that Jiang Jichen had once slaughtered a Celestial God Dharma Aspect!

"So it’s Jiang Jichen! No wonder he’s so ferocious!"

"Yeah, for Xia Hao to dare to get into a bidding war with Jiang Jichen, the new overlord of the Southern Domain... he was just asking to be humiliated."

"That may be, but this is the Eastern Land—and the Valley of Ten Thousand Extremes, no less. I’m afraid there are plenty of people who’d love to eliminate the new overlord of the Southern Continent."

"That’s true. Many factions heard the newly risen overlord of the Southern Domain was just a greenhorn who’d barely entered the Holy Dao, and they all publicly vowed to take his life."

"Heh, Jiang Jichen is only a big shot in the Southern Continent. Here in the Eastern Land, he’s a public enemy. It looks like today will be his last."

....

The crowd was utterly shocked upon recognizing Jiang Jichen.

But they still believed he would not escape death today.

Meanwhile, inside the Blood Radiance Forest, Jiang Jichen was drenched in blood, his body covered in countless wounds.

This was the most difficult battle he had ever faced in his life.

He couldn’t afford to make a single mistake during this running battle.

One mistake would mean utter annihilation.

Every timing, movement, speed, and application of force had to be calculated with absolute precision.

For example, if he slowed for even an instant and failed to break out of the encirclement, he’d be pinned down. Death would be certain once the giant Mutant Beasts caught up.

Therefore, before assassinating each small Mutant Beast, Jiang Jichen had to calculate everything perfectly before he would strike.

It was also a test of his willpower, endurance, and more.

As he fought his way through, Jiang Jichen’s eyes turned bloodshot, his endurance stretched to its breaking point.

But he couldn’t relax for even a moment; his nerves were stretched taut as a bowstring.

SHLICK!

SHLICK!

After stabbing two more small Mutant Beasts, Jiang Jichen arched backward, kicked off a Divine Ancient Tree, and fled in a direction clear of giant beasts.

By now, he had been fighting without rest for five double-hours.

One thousand small Mutant Beasts had fallen to his Black Short Sword.

All the Blood Crystals were being collected by the Azure Heaven Killing Array and the Soul Refining Banner.

However, Jiang Jichen failed to notice that the horde of smaller Mutant Beasts chasing him had begun to thin.

The ten giant Mutant Beasts were beside themselves with fury, but Jiang Jichen was too slippery; they could never get a chance to land a finishing blow.

Fewer than four hundred small Mutant Beasts remained.

Outside the Blood Radiance Forest, the crowd stared, dumbfounded and in disbelief.

"At this rate, I’m afraid all the small Mutant Beasts in the Blood Radiance Forest will die at Jiang Jichen’s hands."

"One thousand Blood Crystals... My god, the thought alone is enough to drive a person mad."

"Jiang Jichen’s incredible battle record is mostly thanks to that Black Short Sword."

....

They had thought Jiang Jichen would die quickly, but they never imagined he would slay over a thousand Mutant Beasts all by himself.

Such a battle record was utterly astounding, heaven-defying to the extreme.

"Huh? Look, Jiang Jichen slowed down for a moment and was surrounded by the ten giant Mutant Beasts! He’s dead for sure this time!"

The image in the sky above shifted, revealing this very scene.

But in the very next moment, the image in the sky suddenly vanished.

It turned out the Void Reflection Technique’s time had run out.

Moreover, night was falling, and the world was plunged into darkness.
