Chapter 227: Chapter 225: Beheading Mad Demon

Perfect teamwork, a precise grasp of the battle’s flow, opportune support, techniques that killed in a single strike...

Most importantly, Jiang Jichen had drawn everyone’s attacks and attention from the very beginning, creating a fleeting opportunity for Yee Youmeng and Hua Xiaoling.

PUFF!

One of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivators had no time to retreat before being swept away by Hua Xiaoling’s Purple Whip. Then, with a flash of her blade, Yee Youmeng reaped another head.

Jiang Jichen certainly wouldn’t let such a perfect opportunity for close combat slip by. He strode forward, using his body as a weapon to clash head-on with a powerful Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Mountain-Shaking Strike!"

This was a close-quarters Martial Technique that used the body as a weapon. If cultivated to a sufficiently high Realm, the force of a single strike could shake mountains and rivers.

And now, it was about to land on a Cultivator!

BOOM!

The Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator didn’t have time to react, only managing to activate his strongest defensive state at the last second.

But the moment Jiang Jichen’s body slammed into him, a physical force akin to a flash flood surged over.

It was as if he had been slammed by an Ancient Giant Elephant!

His strongest defensive state shattered instantly. His Spirit Sea roiled, making it impossible to muster any Spiritual Power.

His head was spinning, and he was so dazed he couldn’t tell up from down.

Although all these debilitating effects lasted only for a fleeting instant, it was a fatal opening—more than enough time for Jiang Jichen to kill him ten times over.

Of course, in that same moment, the others had already reacted, once again desperately unleashing their strongest attacks to obliterate Jiang Jichen.

At this moment, Jiang Jichen could no longer ignore their attacks. He felt his Blood-Red Battle Armor reaching its limit; it was about to revert to a Blood Cloth and would need a period of inactivity before it could be used again.

The opportunity to kill the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator before him was ripe for the taking, but he was out of time. He had to face the attacks of the remaining seven.

But... Tang Ni, who had remained hidden behind Jiang Jichen, finally made her move. A Sword Light, as swift as a bolt of white silk, cut a stunning arc through the void. A head flew into the air, followed by a fountain of blood.

Another head taken!

When the remaining enemies saw this, a chill ran through their hearts, even though their own Cultivation and numbers were far superior.

Every single person on this team was a veritable Beheading Mad Demon, their methods brutal and horrifying!

And except for Jiang Jichen, they were all women!

’Do you have to be so fierce, so savage? How are any of you ever going to get married?’

Each of them felt a sudden urge to start cursing.

Jiang Jichen, on the other hand, greatly admired the women’s methods. ’Of course, I’m still not completely sure if Yee Youmeng is a woman. That... is something I’ll need to find time to properly confirm. As for how to confirm it... hehe... you know what I mean!’

Be as warm as spring to friends and family, but as cruel and unforgiving as the dead of winter to your enemies!

This had always been Jiang Jichen’s way. He never held back when killing his enemies, settling the matter of life and death cleanly and decisively.

Now, Jiang Jichen stood in front, taking the full force of the other seven’s attacks on his own, not allowing even a shred of the aftershock to reach Tang Ni behind him.

With Tang Ni’s level of Cultivation, she couldn’t have withstood a single blow from any one of them. Yet, she had just taken the head of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This was true teamwork, with each person playing to their greatest strengths.

Even if she was weak, she still had her own invaluable role to play!

Just then, another round of attacks landed on Jiang Jichen. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Although there were only seven attackers this time, Jiang Jichen’s defenses were now at half strength.

PUFF!

The Nine-layered Golden Spiritual Pattern Space he had just formed shattered once more, and his Blood-Red Battle Armor reverted to a Blood Cloth, falling back into his hands.

Finally, the terrifyingly powerful aftershock of the attacks slammed into Jiang Jichen’s unprotected body.

Jiang Jichen’s body felt as if it had been struck by lightning. He spat out a mouthful of blood as countless cracks instantly webbed across his skin, weeping blood.

But after taking such a direct hit, how could Jiang Jichen possibly not retaliate?

He completely ignored his injuries and charged forward once more.

At this point, the distance between Jiang Jichen and the other cultivators was extremely short—less than ten meters!

And so, using a Shapeshifting technique, he instantly swapped places with a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.

PUFF!

The very instant Jiang Jichen vanished, the cold gleam of Tang Ni’s Treasure Sword was already flashing through the air.

The Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator who had just been teleported didn’t even have time to understand what was happening before he was beheaded by Tang Ni’s sword, dying utterly bewildered and with his eyes wide open.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jichen appeared in the midst of the six remaining cultivators.

Covered in blood, his face a ferocious snarl, he looked absolutely terrifying.

In truth, while his injuries looked severe, for someone like him—at the Ninth Level of Body Refining and a practitioner of the Undying Scripture—they were far from fatal.

He was still bursting with energy, ferocious as hell!

The sight sent a chill down the spines of the remaining cultivators, fanning the flames of fear that had already taken root in their hearts.

After the Position Shifting, Jiang Jichen immediately attacked the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator beside him.

This time, he used a Sword Skill, even activating his Violent Spirit Skill to augment it, aiming to unleash his greatest combat power in the shortest possible time.

"Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams!"

"One Sword Life and Death Technique!"

"Star Destruction!"

Three sword techniques in an instant, executed in half a breath’s time.

The Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams formed a Sword Array, locking down the area.

The One Sword Life and Death Technique and Star Destruction were both ultimate killing techniques, more than enough to annihilate their target.

Meanwhile, Yee Youmeng and Hua Xiaoling also launched their attacks. In that moment, the remaining cultivators suddenly felt the tables turn—the hunters had become the hunted, lambs waiting for the slaughter.

"Ah, help me!"

The Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, now engulfed by Jiang Jichen’s Destruction Sword Qi, screamed for help.

Hearing this, the fear in the others’ eyes intensified. One of them gritted his teeth and said, "It’s hopeless! Retreat!"

"Right! Once we get to the Great Floating Island, the experts from the Seven Great Families and the Three Major Sects will take care of them!"

Another shouted, already stepping onto the Iron Chain Bridge without hesitation and hastily retreating toward the Great Floating Island.

PUFF!

At the same time, the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator engulfed in Jiang Jichen’s Destruction Sword Qi was blasted into a bloody mist.

This time, the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array didn’t appear. It seemed to have absorbed too much blood mist earlier and was still in the process of digesting it.

Instead, the Blood Cloth that the armor had reverted to floated out and enveloped the bloody mist, absorbing it completely. And Jiang Jichen discovered that after absorbing the blood mist from the Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it seemed it could be used once more.

This discovery brought Jiang Jichen an unexpected wave of delight. He paid no mind to the fleeing enemies and laughed heartily. "Don’t chase deserters! Clean up the battlefield. We’ll rest here until our time is up, then head for the Great Floating Island at the center!"
