Myriad Daos of the Heaven

Jiang Jichen patted Little Yue’Er’s back. His gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on a bag in the hands of a Mountain Sect disciple. It was filled with the Spirit Beast Inner Cores they had just collected.

"Such arrogance. A lowly peasant dares to speak like that? You’re courting death. Why are you staring at the bag in my hands? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of snatching it? Haha..."

The disciple holding the bag of Spirit Beast Inner Cores laughed out loud, mocking him without mercy.

Jiang Jichen spoke lightly, "That’s exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for helping me collect the Spirit Beast Inner Cores. Now, hand it over!"

He executed Shadow Step, crossing ten meters in an instant. With a casual grab, the bag of Spirit Beast Inner Cores was in his hand before the Mountain Sect disciple could even react.

It all happened too fast. Even Yann Song, a Ninth-level Mortal Warrior, didn’t have time to react.

The turn of events was far too unexpected for everyone present. Who could have imagined that a common Cultivator, one who looked incredibly weak, would dare to suddenly attack them and display such powerful and terrifying speed?

"How is this possible?"

"How did he do that?"

....

The men cried out in alarm as they came to their senses.

Jiang Jichen put the Spirit Beast Inner Cores into his Mid-Level Storage Bag and prepared to leave.

But when Yann Song and the others saw the Mid-Level Storage Bag at Jiang Jichen’s waist, they were all shocked. ’How could a lowly peasant possess such a treasure?’ A treasure like that was more than enough to tempt them to the extreme.

"You lowly peasant, you think you can just take our things and leave? How naive!"

The young Mountain Sect disciple whose bag had been stolen finally reacted. A mere peasant had snatched the bag right out of his hands, causing him to lose all face in front of his fellow disciples. He was filled with rage.

So, he was the first to attack. His longsword flashed with a cold light as he stabbed toward the center of Jiang Jichen’s back.

Jiang Jichen’s expression grew even colder. He hadn’t wanted to kill anyone while holding Little Yue’Er. He could let it slide that they wanted to use him as bait, but now they were going straight for his life with their first move.

"Little Yue’Er, close your eyes!"

Jiang Jichen said calmly.

Little Yue’Er obediently closed her eyes. She knew what her big brother was about to do, but if he told her not to look, she wouldn’t look.

The instant the Sword Light reached his back, Jiang Jichen moved. He sidestepped casually, and the Sword Qi missed its mark, striking a large tree and felling it instantly.

Jiang Jichen moved like a flash of lightning. Before his opponent could swing his sword a second time, he had already slammed a fist into the man’s chest.

With the addition of Shadow Step, Jiang Jichen’s combat power was even greater, allowing him to fight any Cultivator below the Innate Realm.

With this punch, Jiang Jichen concentrated all his strength, holding nothing back. How could the body of a Spirit Cultivator withstand such Physical Strength?

A sickening crunch echoed, as if his heart had shattered. Jiang Jichen had killed the Mountain Sect disciple.

This was the first person Jiang Jichen had killed since his rebirth, but his expression didn’t change in the slightest, as if he were just doing something completely ordinary.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you kill a disciple of my Mountain Sect!"

Yann Song and the others finally realized that Jiang Jichen was far from as ordinary as he appeared. The fact that he could kill an Eighth-Level Mortal with a single punch was completely beyond their imagination.

"What’s the use of saying all that now? Let’s just fight to the death!"

Jiang Jichen finally cast aside all restraint. He took a step forward and spoke coldly.

At the same time, without a moment’s pause, his figure shot like lightning toward another Mountain Sect disciple.

"Such arrogance! To think someone in the Celestial Pearl Country dares to oppose the Mountain Sect! You lowly peasant, you’re dead! That Mid-Level Storage Bag on you will be mine!"

Feeling so slighted by Jiang Jichen, killing intent surged within Yann Song. He let out a cold shout as a gleaming Treasure Sword appeared in his hand. With a casual flourish, he sent several blossoms of Sword Light flying toward Jiang Jichen’s vital points.

However, Jiang Jichen didn’t even glance at the attack. His deadly advance didn’t change in the slightest.

Another Eighth-Level Mortal disciple of the Mountain Sect was struck down and killed on the spot.

His utterly ferocious aura stunned everyone present!
