Chapter 210: Chapter 208: Perfect Coordination

It was impossible that the members of the Celestial Bandit Gang had ever met Jiang Jichen, and he had never met them either. There was no prior enmity between them.

But Jiang Jichen needed a reason to strike them down, and he absolutely couldn’t let anyone see that he had the slightest connection to the Red Beauty Adventurer Squad.

Thus, the moment he appeared, Jiang Jichen insisted that this was a blood feud between him and the Celestial Bandit Gang—an irreconcilable hatred that could only end in death!

As for his claim to have the Holy Sword, that was naturally a feint to sow confusion.

The Wandering Dragon Holy Sword was currently in Snowplum’s hands, but no one knew that.

Besides, they had personally witnessed Jiang Jichen seizing the Holy Sword and unleashing a Holy Sword Technique that had cut down a huge swath of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Its power was terrifying to the extreme, a genuine threat to their existence.

Therefore, no one would doubt his words.

The vast majority of the Cultivators here were seeing Jiang Jichen in person for the first time. Before, they had only heard rumors, which they hadn’t fully believed.

But today, with a single declaration, he had stunned these high and mighty, incomparably powerful descendants of the Noble Families and Sects.

In truth, it wasn’t that they were completely stunned, but rather that the descendants of the Noble Families and Sects had their own plans and considerations.

Of all the people present, the members of the Noble Families and Sects naturally knew the most about the Exquisite Treasure Tower.

They knew that the most important thing was to enter the Exquisite Treasure Tower with their strength fully preserved, which was why they didn’t make a move.

What’s more, the Ancient Ruined City was now sealed. Jiang Jichen had nowhere to run. There was no rush to kill him and seize the Holy Sword at this very moment.

More importantly, it was true that Saint Weapons could not be used inside the Exquisite Treasure Tower!

And so, the descendants of the Noble Families and Sects all remained silent at the same time.

His goal achieved, Jiang Jichen pointed at the group of burly men from the Celestial Bandit Gang and declared, "Today, I’ll kill you lackeys first! Another day, I will cut down the leaders of your Celestial Bandit Gang! I, Jiang Jichen, will slaughter every last one of you lawless, evil-doing bandits! Come on, let’s fight to the death!"

Jiang Jichen’s voice was clear and resonant, shaking the very heavens, and he projected an aura of awe-inspiring righteousness.

And as he spoke, Jiang Jichen had already charged forward, giving the Fierce Bandits no chance to argue.

A bloody battle of life and death erupted in an instant!

Yee Youmeng moved as well. She traced a mysterious footwork pattern, dragging her large machete, her coordination with Jiang Jichen absolutely seamless.

Using his body as a weapon, Jiang Jichen directly slammed into the nearest bandit, a man at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage Realm, sending him flying.

WHAM!

Before the bandit could even react to the collision, his defensive barriers shattered. Although his body wasn’t injured, he was sent flying uncontrollably.

PSHFFT!

He landed right in the path of Yee Youmeng’s attack.

With a swift motion of her hand, the machete fell, and another large head went flying.

What perfect coordination!

What a bloody scene!

The crowd gasped in amazement and shock at the sight.

Jiang Jichen also secretly sent a voice transmission to Yee Youmeng. "Well now, Little Youmeng, I haven’t seen you for a few days and you’ve already gotten this good. Not bad at all!"

Yee Youmeng didn’t reply, only giving him a faint glance before swinging her large machete in a horizontal slash toward a burly man at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm who was charging her.

At that moment, three other Foundation Establishment Cultivators unleashed powerful attacks, aiming for Jiang Jichen’s vitals. Among them was their leader, a man at the Profound Level Dao Platform Foundation Establishment Middle Realm.

The remaining two injured men were clearly much slower to react and still hadn’t processed what was happening.

Facing three opponents, Jiang Jichen had no intention of taking them head-on. He dodged, using Illusory Indeterminacy to evade the vast majority of the attacks.

However, the aftershocks from the trio’s attacks still left Jiang Jichen with minor injuries, and he coughed up a small mouthful of blood.

By this time, Jiang Jichen had broken through their encirclement and appeared silently behind the burly man who was fighting Yee Youmeng.

The other bandits suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Watch out! Dodge!"

The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator fighting Yee Youmeng was currently being pressed by her large machete.

BOOM!

After clashing once with the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator, Yee Youmeng was sent flying by his superior power. But her slender body seemed to have no weight, floating in the air like a feather, and she quickly negated most of the force, ultimately sustaining only minor injuries.

Of course, the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator didn’t get off easy either.

The power behind Yee Youmeng’s large machete completely exceeded his expectations. It felt like being hit by a flash flood, and he couldn’t control his body, forcing him to retreat backward.

And it was at this exact moment, after shaking off the combined attack of the three bandits, that Jiang Jichen silently closed in behind this Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

Warned by his comrades, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator instantly realized his peril, but... it was too late!

The Red Copper Rust Sword suddenly appeared in Jiang Jichen’s hand, slashing toward him like a bolt of lightning.

"One Sword Life and Death Technique!"

The sword fell, and the head was severed. Another decapitation!

The entire crowd watched in dead silence, a chill creeping into their hearts.

’Are these two really just Junior Cultivators at the Innate Ninth Realm? This is terrifying!’

"They’re both genius-level Transcenders! Their combat awareness is frightening, and their coordination is seamless!"

"This time, by running into these two terrifying youths, the Celestial Bandit Gang has really picked a fight they can’t win. I’m afraid their whole squad will be wiped out."

"It’s one thing for Jiang Jichen to be as terrifying as the legends say, but for that slender youth to be the same... This is..."

Many who witnessed this exchanged hushed, shaken whispers.

In the entire Southern Continent, any Transcender was an extraordinary figure. Those who reached the level of an ’outstanding’ Transcender were already among the most prominent figures in the land. As for ’genius’ Transcenders, you could count them all; there were probably no more than a hundred in the younger generation.

But now, to see two young, genius-level Transcenders slaughtering Foundation Establishment Cultivators as if they were chopping vegetables... It was horrifying!

"It would be best to avoid provoking people like this inside the Treasure Tower. Besides, the Holy Sword isn’t something we can covet. The Seven Great Families and Three Major Sects of the Southern Continent have their eyes on it!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Someone secretly admonished their younger disciples.

In fact, the reason Jiang Jichen had struck so forcefully was to establish his might and intimidate some of the onlookers, making them think twice before trying to move against him.

But in the eyes of the Noble Family Descendants, Jiang Jichen now seemed even more powerful and terrifying. And then there was Yee Youmeng. If these two were allowed to truly mature, they would become a threat to the Noble Families and Sects. They had already been added to their kill lists.

After lopping off a head, Jiang Jichen didn’t pause for a moment. He turned and took the initiative to attack the remaining three.

"Starry Night!"

"Star Destruction!"

"Starlight Illusion Transformation!"

Jiang Jichen executed three consecutive Sword Techniques, all in one smooth, unbroken motion.

This was the Star Sword Technique from a Celestial Secret Technique, comprehended from the sun, moon, and stars of the firmament. It was incomparably powerful and endlessly unpredictable.

These Three Sword Techniques alone were enough to make his opponents feel as if they were trapped in the vast shadow of death.

Myriad starlights, endless transformations, and meteors of destruction instantly engulfed them.
