Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Seeing Jiang Jichen charge toward them, the members of the Five Poison Sect were jolted awake. They realized this wasn’t a hallucination; their Poison Pets had truly been killed.

Their Poison Pets were all Tier Nine Profound-Level Spirit Insects, with lightning-fast reflexes. Ordinary attacks couldn’t even hit them, let alone harm them.

But this young man, a mere Innate Sixth Layer Cultivator, had annihilated them with a single finger strike. They hadn’t even had time to dodge. How was this so shocking, so utterly unbelievable?

However, they had no time to dwell on it. Jiang Jichen was already on the attack, and the aura erupting from him made them feel a profound sense of mortal danger.

"How can an Innate Sixth Layer cultivator have such a terrifying aura? This is the kind of power a genius Transcender has!"

The three Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Five Poison Sect cried out, their faces pale with shock.

They were utterly stunned. Only now did they understand why Jiang Jichen had been so arrogant; he clearly had the power to back it up.

Tang Ni, Xia Qing, and the other members of the Red Beauty Adventurer Squad were also dumbfounded.

They never imagined that the smiling, harmless-looking young man could be so fierce and powerful.

Xia Qing was clearly the one who felt this most deeply.

Before, when Jiang Jichen had shattered her Sword Intent with a flick, she had still been a little indignant.

Now, feeling the astonishingly powerful aura radiating from Jiang Jichen, she knew that Tang Ni hadn’t been lying. In fact, she probably couldn’t have even withstood half a move from him.

At that moment, Jiang Jichen made his move, and he showed no mercy.

However, Jiang Jichen’s attack wasn’t aimed at the three Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators from the Five Poison Sect. Instead, he stepped into the midst of their disciples.

There were over thirty of them, with Cultivation from the Innate Eighth to Tenth Layer. If they all attacked at once, few from the Red Beauty Adventurer Squad would survive; they wouldn’t even have time to defend themselves.

Therefore, when Jiang Jichen attacked, he bypassed the three Foundation Establishment Initial Realm Cultivators to clear out the weaker ones first.

He gripped his Red Copper Rust Sword, executed Shadow Step, and instantly appeared among the thirty-plus disciples of the Five Poison Sect.

These disciples from the Five Poison Sect reacted with extreme speed, all launching their attacks at Jiang Jichen.

"Cyan Snake’s Tongue!"

"Scorpion Tail Swing!"

"Centipede Twisting Body!"

The Five Poison Sect disciples all unleashed their Poison Techniques, aiming them squarely at Jiang Jichen.

Jiang Jichen let out a cold laugh. He didn’t dodge at all, allowing the Poison Techniques to strike him.

These Poison Techniques weren’t very powerful in terms of force, but their toxicity was astonishing. They could instantly daze a person, rendering them powerless to fight.

Jiang Jichen gripped the Poison-Devouring Pearl in one hand while activating his defenses. The six-layered Golden Spiritual Pattern Space materialized, and Undying Power spread through his body as he took the full force of everyone’s attacks.

With his other hand, he brandished his sword like the wind, unleashing a continuous and unbelievably fast flurry of Sword Techniques.

"Eight-direction Wind and Rain, Earth and Heaven Shaking!"

"Ten Thousand Stars!"

"The Four Symbols Birth the Eight Trigrams!"

...

All of them were Group Attack Sword Skills, and he executed them all in the space of a single breath.

This was the fastest and most ferocious burst of Sword Skill Jiang Jichen had ever unleashed.

Endless Sword Qi filled the air as Anomalies bloomed one after another, flooding the area and enveloping all thirty-plus people within.

A rain of swords fell, scattering on the wind and shaking the world;

A starry night spread across the void, making the very heavens tremble;

And eight trigrams manifested, evolving into all of creation, ever-generating and endless.

Each of these Swordsmanship styles was incredibly powerful and terrifying. To see them all appear at once was a spectacle so stunning it seemed to silence the world itself.

"PFFT! PFFT!..."

"AHH! AHH!..."

Blood rained down, flying through the air and dyeing the world red. The Sword Qi pierced body after body, drawing wretched screams from the men.

This time, Jiang Jichen wasn’t trying to kill them, but to severely injure them all, aiming to eliminate at least half of their combat strength.

However, after he had struck, he found the effect was far better than he had imagined.

Because Jiang Jichen’s attack was so sudden, many of them didn’t even have time to activate their defenses.

Furthermore, the Group Attack Sword Intent was too sharp, an indiscriminate assault. In the end, nearly twenty people collapsed. Only a dozen or so remained standing, but they were covered in sword wounds, their combat strength already halved.

Those still standing were all at the Grandmaster Realm; the rest who had fallen were either dead or crippled!

This entire scene had unfolded in what was practically an instant.

Jiang Jichen, too, was covered in blood. Wounded in many places, he looked absolutely miserable.

In reality, however, Jiang Jichen hadn’t suffered any substantial injuries; they were all just superficial wounds.

The Five Poison Sect’s Cultivators specialized in Poison Techniques, but all the toxins had been completely devoured by the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment. As for their attacks, they had only managed to leave superficial wounds on Jiang Jichen’s body.

"This..."

Tang Ni, Xia Qing, and the others were stunned. The three Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Five Poison Sect were also stunned. For a moment, everyone forgot to attack.

The scene that had just played out was simply too shocking. Although the dozen or so Grandmasters from the Five Poison Sect were still standing, their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Jiang Jichen.

Their Poison Techniques were useless against this young man. He was practically their nemesis!

"Now, it’s you three bastards’ turn!"

Jiang Jichen said, panting for breath.

Although it had only been for the space of a breath, such a tyrannical outburst had still severely drained Jiang Jichen. The Spiritual Power in his Spirit Vein was almost completely depleted.

Group Attack Techniques consume the most Spiritual Power. For anyone else—even a genius—at Jiang Jichen’s Realm, just managing to execute a single Ancient Group Attack Sword Technique within a few breaths would be their absolute limit. Only a monster like Jiang Jichen could unleash several Ancient Group Attack Techniques in the span of a single breath.

"Don’t be careless! Attack together and kill him! His Spiritual Power is exhausted, and he’s at his weakest. Kill him!"

"He actually has a Golden Spiritual Vein! I must use the Bloodline Stealing Spiritual Technique and devour his bloodline!"

The three Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators from the Five Poison Sect finally grew serious. No longer daring to be arrogant, they immediately joined forces and charged at Jiang Jichen.

Tang Ni, after all, was the captain of the Red Beauty Adventurer Squad. Her Cultivation was also at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, and her mental fortitude was naturally far superior to Xia Qing and the others.

She let out a sharp cry, "Sisters, attack together! We’ll wipe out the Five Poison Sect! This time, it’s either they die, or we do!"

Xia Qing reacted instantly, raising her Treasure Sword and shouting, "Sisters, follow me!"

As she spoke, she was already charging toward the dozen or so standing Grandmasters from the Five Poison Sect.

The other members of the Red Beauty Adventurer Squad also came to their senses, letting out sharp cries as they followed Xia Qing into the fray.

They knew, of course, that with their level of Cultivation, they couldn’t even get close to a battle between Jiang Jichen and Foundation Establishment Cultivators. To go up there would be suicide.

But the dozen or so Grandmasters had only half their combat strength left. It was the perfect time to kick a man while he’s down, and they naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.

Of course, if these dozen or so Grandmasters had been unscathed, the women would have been no match for them at all.

Everything had changed because of a mysterious young man who had suddenly appeared, armed with nothing but a single sword.

Because of this, the morale of the Red Beauty Adventurer Squad soared. Even the women who usually seemed delicate and dainty had now become incredibly fierce. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Tang Ni watched Jiang Jichen’s back, her eyes filled with gratitude. In that instant, she felt the young man had grown immeasurably tall.

Without a second thought, she let out a sharp cry and, raising her sword, charged into the battle between Jiang Jichen and the three Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivators from the Five Poison Sect.
