Chapter 199: Chapter 197: The Holy Sword Cleaves the Restriction

Yin Yang Two Principles!

Star Destruction!

One Sword Life and Death Technique!

Wielding the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword, Jiang Jichen directly activated the Violent Spirit Secret Technique, instantly pouring out all his remaining Spiritual Power.

Three fatal Sword Techniques were executed in an instant, slashing toward the three men.

If he were still using the Red Copper Rust Sword, these three Sword Techniques wouldn’t have been a true threat to them.

But what he held now was the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword, one of the Seven Ancient Holy Swords.

PSHH! PSHH! PSHH!

The three of them couldn’t block at all and were directly slashed into a bloody mist by Jiang Jichen, their bodies and souls utterly annihilated.

Of course, Jiang Jichen couldn’t completely evade the three men’s dying counterattacks. His body was nearly shattered. He relied on the small amount of Restriction Blood Qi he had left and pushed the Undying Scripture and the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique to their absolute limits. Finally, after swallowing a petal from a Yin Spirit Flower, he barely managed to keep his body and soul from being destroyed.

Behind him, Wei Xiaolang, Guo Qishan, Nangong Jinjie, and the other Noble Family Descendants couldn’t help but gasp. Even in this state, Jiang Jichen was still so ferocious?

They hadn’t even had time to react before the two Foundation Establishment Middle Realm cultivators and the one Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator were slashed into a bloody mist. This was just too overwhelmingly powerful.

’We thought two cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Middle Realm and one at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm would be more than enough to take down Jiang Jichen in his current state.’ 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

’But the result... was an instant kill!’

Of course, they also knew that to kill those three in an instant, Jiang Jichen had already used his final trump card. After that one strike, he would have no strength left to fight back. He could only wait for death at the foot of the city wall.

No one knew what his purpose or meaning was in doing this.

’Did he just want to take a few more people down with him in one last strike?’

While Wei Xiaolang, Guo Qishan, and the others were still confused, their feet didn’t slow in the slightest. They charged toward Jiang Jichen at top speed, intending to seize the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword.

At this point, everyone could see that Jiang Jichen truly had no power left and naturally wouldn’t have the strength to resist anymore.

However, just as they rushed forward, Jiang Jichen’s figure suddenly shot up into the sky, flying toward the Restriction on the city wall.

Their attack missed. They could only watch as Jiang Jichen’s figure rapidly approached the city wall’s Restriction.

’What is he trying to do?’

At this moment, all the Noble Family Descendants were truly stunned, watching the scene in disbelief.

"Is he trying to kill himself? Does he not want to die at our hands? What’s the point of that?!"

As everyone puzzled over Jiang Jichen’s actions, they suddenly saw him float to a stop before the city wall’s Restriction. Then, gripping the Wandering Dragon Holy Sword with both hands, he raised it high.

Seeing this, everyone suddenly realized what Jiang Jichen was about to do.

"Using the Holy Sword to open the Restriction, he..."

"How did I not think of that?"

"Didn’t he already exhaust his power? Even with the Holy Sword, how could he possibly cut through that kind of Restriction?"

The crowd’s expressions changed drastically, and they cried out in alarm.

They watched nervously as Jiang Jichen raised the Holy Sword and then slashed down!

’They didn’t believe it. Jiang Jichen was completely spent, so how could he possibly execute another strike?’

And yet, they saw a brilliant Sword Light that sliced through the city wall’s Restriction with incredible ease!

It took not a single ounce of effort. It was as if the Ancient Holy Sword only needed a light touch to part the city wall’s Restriction.

"How is that possible?"

They watched in disbelief as Jiang Jichen’s figure passed through the severed Restriction and then vanished. The sundered barrier on the city wall instantly returned to its original state.

In the end, Jiang Jichen had escaped, leaving behind a group of dumbstruck Noble Family Descendants.

The Holy Sword they had spent countless years and effort scheming for had now fallen into another’s hands. All their work had been for nothing.

They were filled with hatred and regret!

’If it weren’t for the endless years of blood sacrifices that had weakened the Holy Sword’s Restriction, Jiang Jichen would never have been able to claim the Ancient Holy Sword alive.’

’In the end, a Loose Cultivator at the Innate Realm who had appeared out of nowhere had snatched the Holy Sword from right under the noses of all the powerful Noble Family Descendants!’

’This can’t be real!’

Cang Lengshan, Cang Lengyun, Guo Qishan, Nangong Jinjie, and the others were all practically mad with hatred. It was a wound that struck them to their very core...

"What’s done is done. We must immediately report back to our families that Jiang Jichen has obtained the Ancient Holy Sword. Tell them to monitor all activity outside the Ancient Refining Land, no matter what. If Jiang Jichen is found walking out of the Training Land alive, he must be captured and killed immediately!"

However, these people were the Young Masters of their respective Noble Families. Their willpower was extraordinary, and they quickly composed themselves, faced reality, and began making the necessary arrangements.

"The most important thing now is to enter the Ancient Ruined City, search for treasures, and enter the Cultivation Tower. As for Jiang Jichen? He’s just a Loose Cultivator in the end. So what if he holds onto the Holy Sword for a little while? In the outside world, any one of the old masters could easily capture and kill him. There’s no need to worry too much!"

In the end, this was the only way they could console themselves.

And so, this group of Noble Family Descendants could only walk helplessly toward the Ancient Ruined City.

The last one, Blood Hand of the Blood Refining Alliance, was also completely shocked. He hadn’t expected Jiang Jichen to actually escape the siege of so many powerful figures from the Noble Families, let alone obtain the Ancient Holy Sword.

"I told you, he’s not that fragile!"

Blood Hand said nonchalantly to Luoo Long and Yee Youmeng.

Luoo Long breathed a sigh of relief, a secret joy blooming in his heart. ’The man I’m about to follow is so powerful! As long as I stay with him, my future will be anything but ordinary.’

Although Yee Youmeng showed no emotion, her small hand, which was gripping the large machete, relaxed considerably. It was no longer clenched as tightly as before.

Luoo Long then cupped his fists toward Blood Hand and said, "Thank you for looking after us on our journey, Sir Blood Hand. Now that we’ve reached the Ancient Ruined City, we can leave on our own and won’t trouble you any further!"

Blood Hand clearly had the same intention. He replied coolly, "You don’t need to thank me. This was a promise I made to Jiang Jichen in the Poisonous Insect Valley. We owe each other nothing. Now that we’re in the Ancient Ruined City, let’s each seek our own fortunes!"

With that, Blood Hand strode into the Ancient Ruined City without a backward glance.

Only after Blood Hand had vanished did Luoo Long and Yee Youmeng finally step through the West Gate of the Ancient Ruined City.

Luoo Long sent a telepathic message to Yee Youmeng, "Jiang Jichen is badly injured. We need to find him as soon as possible!"

Yee Youmeng nodded lightly, then sent her own telepathic message back to Luoo Long: "We’ll split up to find him!"

After speaking, true to her character, Yee Youmeng flickered and vanished on the spot. She reappeared far down an ancient alleyway, her figure blurring a few times before disappearing from sight completely.

Luoo Long seemed unfazed, as if he was already used to this. He also chose a direction and headed deeper into the Ancient Ruined City.

Only when the area inside the West Gate of the Ancient Ruined City was completely empty did a figure suddenly materialize atop the city wall.

Had the departed Noble Family Descendants seen this, they would have been utterly astonished, because this figure was none other than Jiang Jichen.

Everyone had assumed that after passing through the Restriction, he would have fled immediately. But he hadn’t!
