Myriad Daos of the Heaven

The man had actually managed to dodge the strike from the activated Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment, narrowly escaping death.

Besides the undeniable power of the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, the main reason was that Young Master Kong Chu possessed powerful Secret Artifacts and the unparalleled Void Skill.

But... how could the trace of ultimate poison from the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment be so easily withstood?

Young Master Kong Chu, who had retreated far out of Jiang Jichen’s attack range, was already deathly pale. The Secret Artifacts in his body were beginning to fail, unable to suppress the trace of ultimate poison. His wound began to blacken and rot, filling the air with a putrid stench!

"Jiang Jichen... I’ll tear you to shreds!"

Young Master Kong Chu roared, his face contorted in a furious snarl.

At the same time, the first wave of their joint attack descended.

BOOM!

Jiang Jichen blocked all the attacks with the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, the impact merely forcing him to spit up a mouthful of blood.

His body, now at the Tenth Layer of Body Refining, was far stronger than before.

In the past, even with the Ancient Medicine Cauldron, his body would have likely been covered in dozens of cracks.

However, Jiang Jichen completely ignored the attacks of the other nine and once again employed his Step Technique.

Like a tiger descending a mountain or a flood dragon erupting from the sea, he charged toward Young Master Kong Chu.

"What’s the point of all that shouting? Let’s just settle this with our lives!"

Jiang Jichen lunged forward, his voice dripping with killing intent.

Young Master Kong Chu was gravely injured, and Jiang Jichen wasn’t about to give him a single moment to recover. He threw himself into a reckless assault.

This was the perfect time to strike him while he was down and finish him off!

Young Master Kong Chu finally understood.

After all, he too had waded through countless battles and hardships. It was just that in the years since he’d reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm, he had grown complacent from endless praise.

Now, on the verge of life and death, he finally rediscovered the mindset he once had when facing slaughter and peril.

"I’ll show you the true terror of the Foundation Establishment Perfection Realm! Jiang Jichen, a mortal ant like you doesn’t even have the right to seek the path to immortality, yet you dare to attack me? I, Young Master Kong Chu, will make you wish you were dead!"

Young Master Kong Chu’s voice was frigid as he spoke.

He desperately used his Secret Artifacts, Spirit Medicine, and Cultivation to suppress the poison, recovering sixty percent of his combat strength.

But in his eyes, sixty percent... was more than enough to kill Jiang Jichen a thousand times over!

However, he still needed a bit more time to suppress it completely. Until then, Young Master Kong Chu was unable to counter-attack.

Jiang Jichen responded with indifference, "A mortal ant? Perhaps. But still enough to kill you."

As he spoke, he closed in on Young Master Kong Chu and unleashed a flurry of punches.

The Fist Intent was so frenzied it nearly cracked the air itself.

But... they missed!

Young Master Kong Chu used his Void Skill, vanishing in an instant.

"Hahaha... Pathetic, ignorant, and lowly! My Kong Family’s Void Skill is unparalleled in the Southern Continent. You think you can hit me when you’re just at the pitiful Innate Realm? Hmph, forget touching my clothes—Jiang Jichen, you aren’t even qualified to eat my dust! Besides, did you know? Those three wretches you brought with you are being hunted by all the other Noble Family Descendants. You... feeling helpless right now?"

Young Master Kong Chu laughed arrogantly, his tone dripping with mockery.

But Jiang Jichen’s expression remained indifferent. Without a word, he charged at the distant Young Master Kong Chu again.

The result was the same. The punch missed, and Young Master Kong Chu had already drifted to another location.

But Jiang Jichen didn’t give up. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The third strike missed!

The fourth strike missed!

...

He launched ten consecutive attacks, each move executed in an instant with extreme speed.

But every single one missed. Just as Young Master Kong Chu had boasted, Jiang Jichen couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes, let alone eat his dust.

"Jiang Jichen, I’ve suppressed the poison in my body. Now, it’s my turn to attack you!"

Young Master Kong Chu said grimly.

At the same time, the second wave of attacks from the other nine descended, about to slam into Jiang Jichen once more.

But... Jiang Jichen suddenly vanished!

"A Secret Skill that lets him merge with the void? Not bad. But my Kong Family’s Void Skill is unparalleled in the Southern Continent. How could you possibly track my movements? So ignorant, so foolish. The moment you reappear will be when I cut you—"

PTHWACK!

He hadn’t even finished his sentence. The figure that had just merged into the void was sent flying by a fist the size of a sandbag, spitting blood.

"Ah, this..."

"How is this possible?"

"It must be an illusion!"

The nine others who had been attacking Jiang Jichen saw this, their faces draining of color in utter disbelief.

The Kong Family’s unparalleled and pride-and-joy Void Skill... had actually been broken by Jiang Jichen. Young Master Kong Chu had been blasted right out of the void.

The scene was simply too shocking to comprehend!

"You...!"

Young Master Kong Chu spat out a mouthful of broken teeth and blood, his face a mask of terror.

This blow was too much for him. His previous arrogance was completely gone.

In his heart, he had always believed the Kong Family’s Void Skill was second to none, that no one could ever break it.

But... just now, Jiang Jichen had somehow seen through his path in the void. ’But he missed all ten of his previous punches, didn’t he?’

’Why did this happen?’

Young Master Kong Chu’s face was ashen. He couldn’t accept this reality.

"The first ten times were just to test a theory. Turns out the Kong Family’s Void Skill... isn’t all that special after all."

Jiang Jichen spoke with a calm indifference, but his hands didn’t slow in the slightest. Instead, his movements became fiercer, faster, and more ruthless.

BOOM!

This time, Jiang Jichen’s fist smashed directly into Young Master Kong Chu’s wound.

A boundless power exploded from the wound. The ultimate poison he had just suppressed flared up once more, and Young Master Kong Chu’s body convulsed.

The resurgent poison was even more ferocious, instantly spreading through his entire body and robbing him of half his strength.

In that instant, he lost all will to fight, all his strength gone. All he could do was wait for death, his eyes filled with bitter unwillingness.

Jiang Jichen now had the Bronze Rust Sword in his hand.

The Bronze Rust Sword was now beginning to gleam with a cold light. No longer covered in rust spots, it had become sharper, its etched patterns shimmering.

He raised his hand, and the sword fell. Kong Chu, without a shred of strength left to resist, was decapitated.

"No!"

In his final moment, Young Master Kong Chu let out a cry of unwillingness, despair, and rage.

After killing Young Master Kong Chu, Jiang Jichen spun around to face the remaining nine Noble Family Descendants. "Now," he said grimly, "it’s your turn!"

Bolstered by the might he’d shown in killing Young Master Kong Chu, the fighting spirit of the remaining nine Noble Family Descendants completely crumbled. They didn’t have the courage to face him.

"Run!"

one of the Noble Family Descendants finally screamed in humiliation and terror.

However, Little Haas’s hands suddenly blurred into motion, activating the Dark Array he had already set up around them.

In an instant, a curtain of Darkness descended, enveloping the area and cutting off the Noble Family Descendants’ escape route.

Wielding the Bronze Rust Sword, Jiang Jichen was like a monarch moving through the Darkness. Wherever he passed, all enemies were slain!
