After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 285

With Ci En’s death, the chaotic sword rain finally completely dissipated.

The ground was now a sight of devastation, and in the environment that was once bustling with people, only the corpses of many monks who died with their eyes open remained, along with the slightly exhausted chosen ones.

Blood flowed along the corpses, converging into rivers and staining the surrounding ground.

Such a scene, coupled with the increasingly crimson snow, added a few more eerie touches to the environment within the secret realm.

Seeing Ci En killed by Jiang Chen, the prodigies were furious beyond measure.

But they were very clear.

Even if they joined forces, they were no match for Jiang Chen.

Therefore, they all chose at the same time… to flee!

To escape as fast as they could.

Otherwise, their fate will be the same as Ci En’s!

“Did I say I will let you go?” Jiang Chen looked around with cold eyes.

“Whoo—”

At the same time, the sound of a phoenix cry rose again.

Phoenix fire emanated from his body, transforming into the phantom of a majestic phoenix, spreading its wings and soaring.

Countless phoenix fires fell from the phantom.

In just a moment, a wall of fire was erected all around, preventing the chosen ones from escaping! After exchanging glances…

The remaining chosen ones of the Buddha Temple transformed into golden bodies, ready to fight to the death.

The five sword disciples of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion leaped up, catching the five ancient swords falling from the sky, and stood in a circle around Jiang Chen.

“Jiang Chen! Do you really intend to wipe us all out today?!” Sword Two was the first to speak.

Wipe out everyone?

Jiang Chen scoffed again.

The prodigies had joined forces to set a trap for him, and the Six Sword Disciples of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion had set up the Seven Luminaries Sword Formation, intending to kill him.

And after his death, he believed that whether it was Nangong Jiuxi, Jiang Lianyue, or Zhang Hu, they would all be doomed.

Wasn’t this wiping out everyone too?

Only they were allowed to wipe out everyone, but not allowed to be resisted, what kind of logic was that?

“We will join forces and fight to the death! Even if you win, it will be a pyrrhic victory! Why not take a step back and let bygones be bygones today?” Sword Two asked again.

“No way,” Jiang Chen shook his head.

“But I do have a suggestion, it depends on whether you’re willing to take it or not.”

“Let’s hear it,” Sword Two pressed.

“Except for the Buddhist disciples of the Buddha Temple and the Six Sword Disciples of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion. I’ll give the rest of you a chance to take your own lives,” Jiang Chen blurted out.

Take their own lives?

Wasn’t that still death?!

The faces of all the prodigies darkened at once.

“We may not be your match, but we are all the chosen ones of the various sects in the Central Domain!”

Sword Two said with a grim face, speaking again: “Have you thought about the consequences of killing us all?”

“Amitabha! Jiang Chen, do you really think you are invincible in this world?” one of the Buddhist disciples stepped forward, bringing his hands together and chanting Buddhist sutras.

Seeing that they were just spouting words again, Zhang Hu felt that his chance to perform had arrived.

He strode quickly to Jiang Chen’s side, arms crossed and a sneer on his face:

“Invincible in all the world? Wrong, utterly wrong! Below the upper four realms, my Eldest Senior Brother is not only invincible in this world! He is unmatched in all ten directions of the universe!”

Invincible in all ten directions of the universe?

What a bold claim! The gathered prodigies all cursed inwardly.

Although they all felt this boast was too grand, not a single one dared to voice their retorts.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

A prodigy stepped forward, clasped his hands in respect, and said, “Jiang Chen, I did not lay a hand on Nangong Jiuxi. Can I be spared?”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen turned to look at Nangong Jiuxi.

At this moment, Nangong Jiuxi was still in a state of shock and joy.

She had followed Jiang Chen without knowing what he intended to do.

It was only before Ci En’s death that she realized that Jiang Chen wanted to avenge her!

To avenge her, Jiang Chen knew it was a trap, yet he still went.

To avenge her, Jiang Chen was ready to unleash a massacre, using his own strength to confront all the prodigies!

How could she not be moved?

Seeing Jiang Chen looking at her, Nangong Jiuxi glanced at the prodigy who had spoken and then nodded slightly.

Cultivators have an excellent memory, and she clearly remembered that this person was not among the prodigies who had fought her.

“Leave.”

After getting a response, Jiang Chen waved his hand.

As his voice fell, the wall formed by the surging phoenix fire opened a gap on its own, allowing the speaking prodigy to leave.

As if pardoned from death, the prodigy thanked Jiang Chen with a bow and then attempted to leave.

But after only one step, a sudden ancient sword came flying, piercing through his chest.

He turned his head with difficulty, his eyes filled with terror.

He had never expected that he would not die at the hands of Jiang Chen but instead at the hands of the Second Sword of the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion!

“Second Senior Brother! Have you gone mad?!” Sword Six exclaimed in disbelief upon seeing this.

The other prodigies also cast questioning glances at Sword Two.

“With a formidable enemy before us, if others follow this man’s example and cower before Jiang Chen! Then aren’t we all doomed?!” Sword Two said indifferently as he withdrew his ancient sword.

Seeing that the others still couldn’t accept it, he added, “As a righteous cultivator, I never fear death! Jiang Chen only has two choices: either let us all go or perish together with us!”

Upon hearing this, the prodigies fell silent.

They understood Sword Two’s meaning.

In this critical situation, the others would surely follow if one person escaped.

Then, with morale scattered, how could they confront Jiang Chen?

Although it was still hard to accept, they understood.

The best move in the current situation was to stick together tightly, making Jiang Chen weigh the consequences of slaughtering them all, or else everyone would fight to the death!

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen looked on with disdain.

Whether righteous or evil, there are always those who stir trouble.

This Sword Two, though speaking high-sounding words, was nothing more than a hypocrite.

Knowing this was wrong but still choosing silence, the other prodigies also proved they were all a bunch of hypocrites.

“So be it, today, I shall unleash a massacre!” Jiang Chen said menacingly, his body ablaze with phoenix fire.

The prodigies instantly braced for a formidable enemy.

The battle between the two sides was about to erupt.

And just as Jiang Chen’s blood sword trembled in his hand, already blazing with blood light, a one-armed figure silently arrived beside Jiang Chen.

The newcomer, silent and holding a high-grade spiritual weapon, had bloodshot eyes and a trembling body.

He was none other than Su Shan.

Looking at the group of prodigies, Su Shan shouted with a trembling voice, “You all falsely claim to be righteous!”

“Today, I shall purge our ranks!” he said while looking at Sword Two.

Su Shan’s appearance took the prodigies aback.

His words struck them like thunder.

“Eldest Senior Brother? Have you also gone mad?! With such a formidable enemy, how can you add to the chaos?” In shock, Sword Two yelled.

Although Jiang Chen was strong, if they all attacked together, there might still be a chance for survival.

But if Su Shan, ranked second on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking, joined in?

Then it would be completely over!

“Am I mad? Or are you mad?!”

Su Shan retorted loudly, “Open your eyes and see! How many innocent cultivators have died because you left your position in the formation? You constantly speak of righteousness, but where is the righteousness in your heart?!”

“What does this have to do with me?” Sword Two retorted.

“If it weren’t for Jiang Chen seeing through the Seven Luminaries Sword Formation and releasing the phoenix fire on me, how could such a tragedy occur? All of this is because of Jiang Chen! Eldest Senior Brother! Don’t make a mistake!”

“Stubborn!” Su Shan cursed.

He no longer wasted words with Sword Two and charged forward with his sword, starting a fight.

This left the other prodigies completely dumbfounded.

How could they fight amongst themselves with such a formidable enemy present?

As for Jiang Chen… found this drama quite enjoyable and began to eat melon seeds.

“Su Shan, attack his lower body!”

“Yes, that’s it! Although Sword Two has also achieved Major Achievement in the Way of the Sword, his foundation is not as deep as yours!”

“Be careful, he’s planning a sneak attack!”

“Sword Six, get out of the way!”

“Whoever dares to intervene, I’ll cut them down first!”
