Myriad Daos of the Heaven

The first wave of the trap killed seven Noble Family Descendants. Combined with the ten disciples from the Guo Family that Jiang Jichen had killed earlier, he alone had already taken seventeen lives.

But to reduce the total number of people to one hundred, that clearly wasn’t enough!

Therefore, Jiang Jichen and Little Haas had no choice but to continue trapping and killing the next wave of Noble Family Descendants.

They began to review the shortcomings of their last attempt. Jiang Jichen spoke up, "We can’t give them another chance to self-destruct. So, we have to strike first, even if it’s a bit risky!"

Little Haas looked at Jiang Jichen with a gaze full of reverence and said, "Master, not only are you sinister, but you can also face your own shortcomings. A person like that is called a Sage in our Dark Race and holds a supreme position."

’Sinister? Is that supposed to be a compliment?’

Jiang Jichen was speechless, but he absolutely would not continue the conversation. He was afraid that Little Haas would spout some other shocking statement that was beyond the limits of human comprehension!

Jiang Jichen continued in a sinister tone, "This time, we’ll put my blood-soaked clothes on that corpse and have it face away from the valley entrance. I’ll lie in ambush nearby. When they... heheh!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jichen couldn’t help but let out a sinister laugh himself.

In fact, Little Haas’s description of him hadn’t been wrong. Jiang Jichen really was sinister; he just wasn’t willing to admit it.

"A brilliant plan, Master! Then Little Haas will go make the arrangements right away!"

Little Haas rubbed his hands together in excitement. He was actually thrilled by the idea of tricking and trapping people, feeling an overwhelming sense of eagerness.

Truly twisted and dark!

After Little Haas left, Jiang Jichen continued setting up the scene. He collected the scattered Storage Bags from the Noble Family Descendants, acquiring another incredibly rich haul of cultivation resources.

Then, he concealed himself in the shadows. It was a perfect position for an ambush!

He meditated in the shadows, recovering the energy he had just expended while silently waiting for news from Little Haas.

They were linked by the Soul Planting Technique, allowing them to communicate directly via voice transmission no matter the distance.

Of course, this was only possible if Jiang Jichen allowed it.

About three double-hours later, Jiang Jichen had fully recovered. Suddenly, he felt a jolt in his Divine Thought and knew that Little Haas was bringing more people.

Furthermore, Little Haas had sent him detailed information on everyone he was leading.

’Ten Noble Family Descendants. Six at the Foundation Establishment Middle Realm, three at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and one is actually... at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm!’

Jiang Jichen’s heart grew heavy.

Although he was a Supreme Transcender, he had never actually killed someone at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm.

Anyone who managed to reach the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm was an elite among Cultivators—extraordinarily powerful and terrifying, having survived countless battles and hardships.

They stood at the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Realm, with the Spirit Infant Realm just within their grasp!

The four levels of the Dao Platform within them were complete. They had perceived the Celestial Dao, and the acupoints in their bodies had reached perfection. Their attacks carried a hidden Spirit Charm and could move the Majestic Power of Heaven and Earth.

Jiang Jichen secretly sent a voice transmission to Little Haas, "Kill the one at the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm first, no matter the cost! Worry about the rest later!"

After sending the order, Jiang Jichen began to slowly retract his entire aura until he seemed to become just another dead weed in the grass. It was impossible for anyone to sense his presence.

Soon, sounds came from the entrance of the small valley. Little Haas’s voice rang out, "This Young Master merely provided the clue. When it comes to Tracking Techniques, the Kong Family is truly number one. To think Young Master Kong Chu could find this place so easily, leaving Jiang Jichen with nowhere to hide. I’m impressed!"

"In the Southern Continent, when it comes to Body Techniques and Tracking Techniques, no one but my Kong Family can claim to be first. Hmph, let’s see where Jiang Jichen can run this time!"

"Not only will I take all of his Secret Treasures, but I will also capture and kill him. All of your Noble Families and Sects will owe this Young Master a favor!" an incomparably arrogant voice declared.

"Of course. Since Young Master Kong Chu was the one who led us here, it is only natural that he should be at the forefront and be the first to strike down Jiang Jichen. None of us would dare compete with Young Master Kong Chu for the honor of the first kill!" Little Haas chimed in.

Hearing such deference from a Young Master of the Guo Family, the arrogant Young Master Kong Chu’s vanity was greatly satisfied. He spoke with contentment, "Since Young Master Guo has put it that way, this Young Master is duty-bound to personally go up and take Jiang Jichen’s head."

In truth, even as he spoke those words, his eyes were fixed on the priceless Secret Treasures and Wondrous Items arrayed around "Jiang Jichen" in the distance: the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, the Ancient Refining Pill, the Dao Spirit Flower, the Blood Relic, and more. His heart pounded with excitement.

’Soon, they will all be mine!’ Young Master Kong Chu thought excitedly as he was the first to step forward.

The others’ Cultivation and status were far beneath Young Master Kong Chu’s, so naturally, they didn’t dare to compete with him.

Thus, they all remained twenty meters behind him.

"Jiang Jichen, I’ve come for your head!"

Young Master Kong Chu took a few casual steps and suddenly appeared behind "Jiang Jichen," swinging his Sword Light in a decapitating strike.

PFFT!

The head of the "Jiang Jichen" whose back had been facing them rolled to the ground.

But when they saw the face on the severed head, their expressions changed abruptly.

"Damn it, it’s a trap!"

Everyone cried out in alarm. Young Master Kong Chu’s expression turned particularly ugly as he prepared to use the Kong Family’s Void Skill to escape the area.

But... he suddenly felt his feet sink.

"Get down here!"

At the same time, an angry roar echoed as a massive force swung Young Master Kong Chu into the air and smashed him violently against a huge boulder.

BOOM!

The boulder shattered. The Void Skill Young Master Kong Chu had just started to form was instantly interrupted. He was left dazed and disoriented, blood flowing endlessly from his wounds.

Young Master Kong Chu screamed, "Guo Qishan, you...!"

But before he could finish, Jiang Jichen was already swinging him like a scarecrow, grabbing him by one leg and slamming him repeatedly onto the ground. SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!

The movements were incredibly violent, and the sound was enough to make one’s own flesh ache.

The ground cracked and boulders shattered. Young Master Kong Chu felt as if his entire body was being torn apart.

But then, a silver light suddenly erupted from his body, forcibly blocking the force of Jiang Jichen’s heavy blows.

At the same time, the other Noble Family Descendants finally reacted, materializing their own attacks and blasting them toward Jiang Jichen.

Jiang Jichen was even faster. He draped the Blood Cloth over himself and placed the Ancient Medicine Cauldron on his head, completely ignoring the first wave of attacks from the other nine Noble Family Descendants.

Jiang Jichen directly took out the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment and unleashed a wisp of extremely toxic aura, blasting it at the silver-glowing Young Master Kong Chu.

PFFT!

The silver light protecting Young Master Kong Chu finally shattered. At the same time, a huge hole exploded in his shoulder, sending flesh and blood flying.

But using this opportunity, Young Master Kong Chu finally managed to activate a Void Skill and teleported away.

’He’s still not dead?’

Jiang Jichen was inwardly shocked and also felt a slight sense of regret.

The Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm was truly powerful!
