Chapter 2596: Chapter 2599: You’re Pretty Good

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The rumbling was incessant, and the radiance of the Great Dao shot out more and more frequently!

"Damn it! Someday I, Zhang Yubo, will devour your Changlin Academy whole!"

A roar of anger sounded from within the dark red mist.

Zhang Yubo was done for! He couldn’t hold on any longer!

He had originally thought that he alone was enough to devour Changlin Academy, but he hadn’t expected that the academy’s seven strong figures were not just Hu Yiqiu and his crew; others had also reached the Peak of the Integration Realm, throwing off his calculations considerably.

However, even in this situation, he could still bear it, planning to devour them bit by bit. But then, Jiang Chen returned.

Initially thrilled by Jiang Chen’s return, Zhang Yubo was instantly filled with hatred!

He had fused a Heavenly-tier Cultivation Technique and a Spirit Array capable of cutting down the peak of Virtual Refinement into a grand formation that shattered most of his defenses at once.

He deduced the situation, admiring Jiang Chen’s powerful talent on the one hand, yet utterly hating him on the other!

This made Zhang Yubo contemplate a temporary retreat; he could no longer independently devour the academy!

Following this, the appearance of Lucifer startled Zhang Yubo immensely, mingling with a sense of joy. However, before he could stay joyful for long, the appearances of Jin Ang and Jin Ming completely rendered Lucifer’s appearance meaningless.

Zhang Yubo truly couldn’t hold out any longer; now, under the attack of six Peak of Integration Realm and two late-stage Integration Realm experts, he had suffered severe injuries, and if this continued, he would die here!

Buzz, buzz!

As the words fell, the dark red mist surged swiftly, and an illusory figure emerged, quickly turning to flee.

Jian Cangqiong and others revealed their forms, swiftly pursuing.

"Jiang Chen!? Bastard! I’ll kill you first!"

A shout of surprise echoed, and Zhang Yubo turned, spotting Jiang Chen not far behind, instantly condensing the Power of the Great Dao, preparing to strike Jiang Chen down.

"How bold!"

"How dare you!"

"Die!"

Voices boomed out, and the Great Dao attacks from Jian Cangqiong and others instantly came rushing forward.

Zhang Yubo’s expression changed. If he unleashed a Great Dao attack himself, he would definitely have to endure the attacks from behind, a life-for-a-life with Jiang Chen would not be worthwhile!

Swoosh!

Abandoning the Great Dao attack, Zhang Yubo sped towards Jiang Chen, delivering a close-range attack, not believing Jian Cangqiong and others would disregard Jiang Chen’s life to continue their assault!

Indeed, seeing Zhang Yubo charge at Jiang Chen, Jian Cangqiong and the others halted their attacks. Now, they and Zhang Yubo, Jiang Chen, were aligned in a straight line. If they attacked, Zhang Yubo could evade the attack, definitely harming Jiang Chen, perhaps even killing him!

"Teachers, kill!"

Jiang Chen shouted out fiercely.

Jian Cangqiong and the others’ expressions changed slightly, then gritted their teeth fiercely, each unleashing their strongest strike!

Jiang Chen had the support of the Protecting Institute Great Formation defense on him, and he wasn’t a reckless person; if he said to kill, he must have confidence in evading!

Swish, swish, swish!

Several Great Dao attacks swiftly hacked at Zhang Yubo, whose expression changed, glaring at Jiang Chen fiercely, pausing in his step to try and escape!

This bastard kid wanted to drag him down together? Was his life worth a damn!

Now, the distance between him and Jiang Chen was less than ten meters, and he clearly felt the formation blessing on Jiang Chen. If he dodged, Jiang Chen would certainly die, even if he didn’t dodge, they would perish together!

Was he really going to trade lives with him!

Whoosh!

Seeing Zhang Yubo about to evade, a cold smile curled at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth, a bloody radiance igniting between his brows, and this time, it wasn’t merely a burst of Sword Intent; a droplet of bloody liquid flew out from between Jiang Chen’s brows directly from the Sea of Consciousness.

"Zhang Yubo!"

A thick voice of anger boomed forth, and the bloody droplet transformed into an illusory sword shadow, with the voice emanating from it.

"Teacher Wu Ying!?"

Jiang Chen’s whole body jolted upon hearing this, looking incredulously at the bloody sword shadow.

"Wu Ying?!"

Zhang Yubo’s face drastically changed, feeling an overwhelming, soul-penetrating threat from the bloody sword shadow, a threat more intense than all the attacks from behind!

Swoosh!

With an instant judgment, Zhang Yubo rapidly retreated, preferring to endure the attacks from behind rather than face the strike from ahead!

"A Wu Ying strike, Breaking Saint Slash!"

A stern, murderous shout came from the bloody sword shadow, which instantly vanished.

"No!"

Zhang Yubo screamed out in terror.

Squelch!

The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, Zhang Yubo’s dark red mist form was sliced in two in an instant, followed by the attacks from Jian Cangqiong and others being shattered by a bloody sword shadow!

"This..."

"What a powerful combat skill!"

"This combat skill... probably exceeds Heaven Rank!"

Jian Cangqiong and others were stunned, dumbfounded, staring at that much-dimmed bloody sword shadow.

Bang!

An explosion rang out, the dark red mist suddenly burst apart, slowly dissipating.

Buzz!

Jiang Chen’s expression turned solemn, an overwhelming golden light erupted from him, covering the sky within a ten-mile radius.

"Kid, no need to search, a wisp of the Primordial Spirit within him has been annihilated by me!"

The bloody sword shadow transformed into an extremely illusory figure, casting a mild glance at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen paused slightly, indeed unable to detect the Primordial Spirit Power of the Nether Kui Snake, nodding lightly.

"Greetings, Shadowless Sword Emperor!"

"Greetings, Shadowless Sword Emperor!"

Jian Cangqiong and the others straightened their faces, fist and palm salutes towards the illusory figure.

"Is that the Shadowless Sword Emperor?"

"Is this the demeanor of the strongest powerhouse in the Mingqian Realm?"

"So strong!"

"A single sword slash to halve a Semi-Saint! Too powerful!"

Exclamations erupted from below, with everyone looking up in awe at the Shadowless Sword Emperor in the sky!

"I have an old friend here, we’ll speak again later!"

The Shadowless Sword Emperor glanced towards Jin Ming’s battle group on the side, instructed softly, then transformed back into a sword shadow and disappeared.

"A Primordial Spirit Technique? How is it possible?"

A panicked shout rang out, a bloody sword light reappeared, a puff of gray mist exploded, then vanished.

Swoosh!

The bloody figure appeared again in front of Jiang Chen.

"Wu Ying little friend!"

Jin Ming followed, glancing at the Shadowless Sword Emperor with some wistfulness in his eyes: "You should have returned to the clan with me back then!"

"Senior Jin, everyone has their own aspirations."

The Shadowless Sword Emperor replied to Jin Ming with a nod, then looked at Jiang Chen, showing a hint of a smile on his previously aloof face:

"Kid, you’re quite exceptional, your talent is outstanding, your opportunities are remarkable, your comprehension is notable, and your mind is even better. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

You have undergone several tribulations, willing to strip yourself of a refined one-time attack, choosing to use the Spatial Jade Pendant given by Senior Jin and others, rather than my final Wuying Sword Path attack.

You gave up things more precious than my Wuying Sword Path, just to have your chance at revenge let me be involved directly in revenge!

You’re truly extraordinary!"

As the words landed, Jin Ming and the others froze momentarily.

They turned to Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with gratification and admiration.
