Chapter 675: Chapter 601: A Sudden Change, A Mysterious Figure Appears! (Happy New Year)

Swish!

As soon as Jiang Ying admitted her mistake, Jiang Yurong didn’t say another word. With a flick of her hand, she sent a burst of Gang Qi, instantly sweeping up Jiang Ying and pulling her to her side.

Whoosh!

Having done all this, Jiang Yurong didn’t wait around. She hugged Jiang Ying and with a push-off from the ground, leapt into the air, flying away into the distance with Qi Manipulation.

Clearly, everything that had happened today was a nightmare for her and the Jiang Family!

She felt that staying here even one second longer would be torture!

"Jie Dao, you old fart, is it your turn now? Are you going to kneel and admit your fault, or commit suicide in front of everyone?"

Seeing that Jiang Yurong had left with Jiang Ying, Chu Ji turned her gaze to Jie Dao.

Swish!

As Chu Ji’s voice fell, everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned toward Jie Dao.

Would Jie Dao kneel?

At this moment, almost everyone was silently asking themselves this question.

"Chu Xuanji, are you sure you want to back me into a corner?"

Jie Dao completely ignored Chu Ji, just staring at Chu Xuanji with a face full of rage, appearing ready for a fight to the death.

"I’m not backing you into a corner, but sending you on your way."

Chu Xuanji responded coldly;

As the lifelong nemesis of Jie Dao, he understood Jie Dao in a way others couldn’t. Naturally, he knew Jie Dao wouldn’t do something like kneeling and admitting fault.

"Good, good, good, since it is so, let’s settle things between us once and for all!"

Saying this, Jie Dao swung his hand mightily and released a burst of Gang Qi that transformed into a giant hand, reaching for the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade on the stage.

Whoosh!

The sound of air being sliced apart rang out as the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade flashed red, landing in Jie Dao’s hand.

With the battle blade in hand, Jie Dao’s Blood Qi surged within his body, his killing intent icy. A terrifying pressure emanated from him, spreading out in all directions like a raging tide.

Clang~

As if resonating with Jie Dao’s murderous intent, a faint ring sounded.

At the same time, apart from a few individuals like Chu Xuanji, Gu Yun, Lv Yuan, and Old Sword God Hua Jian, no one else could withstand the horrifying pressure Jie Dao emitted. It felt as if a mountain pressed on their chests, making it hard to breathe.

"A battle in the sky!"

Chu Xuanji shouted coldly and shot up from the ground, soaring into the air.

Swish!

In response to Chu Xuanji was a single strike!

Jie Dao didn’t say a word. Gripping the blade with both hands, he suddenly slashed out!

Blood Kill!

Jie Dao didn’t make a move until now, but when he did, it was his ultimate killing move!

This slash wasn’t directed at Chu Xuanji but was instead aimed at Ye Fan and the others in the spectator seats!

This turn of events was unexpected by everyone, including Chu Xuanji!

As the blade came down, the heavens and earth seemed to change color!

The entire spectator area was shrouded in blood red. The surging Gang Qi burst forth from the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, mingling with Jie Dao’s boiling Blood Qi and frigid killing intent, forming a blood-red sword light three meters long and one meter wide. Almost solid in form, it carried a terrifying energy wave as it barreled towards Ye Fan and the others!

Swish!

Chu Xuanji’s face changed dramatically. With a flick of his right hand, he released a burst of Gang Qi, creating a Gang Qi Wall to block the blood-red sword light.

Whew!

At the same moment, Chu Xuanji’s form turned into a streak of light as he swiftly rushed towards Ye Fan and the others.

Clearly, he knew that the Gang Qi Wall alone wouldn’t hold against Jie Dao’s killing move.

And should Ye Fan and the others be struck by the blood-red sword light, they would be annihilated without a trace!

Swish!

Hua Jian also took action, transforming his hand into a sword and slashing out a Sword Radiance towards the blood-red sword light.

Whew!

Lv Yuan was quick to react as well. With a raise of his right hand, he released a burst of Gang Qi that turned into a Gang Qi Great Halberd, thrusting towards the blood-red sword light.

Swish, swish, swish!

Gu Yun also joined in, but instead of attacking the blood-red sword light, he kept waving his hands, releasing bursts of Gang Qi. He crafted wall after wall of Gang Qi, barricading the area securely to prevent the Energy Wave from sweeping through.

Because Gu Yun knew the fighting energy waves generated by powerhouses like Chu Xuanji, Jie Dao, Hua Jian, and Lv Yuan were extremely frightening. Not to mention Ye Fan and the others, even cultivators at the Gang Qi Introduction Realm would be instantly obliterated.

Bang!

A muffled sound. Chu Xuanji reacted the swiftest and was the quickest to act. The Gang Qi Wall he created out of thin air appeared in front of the blood-red sword light, only to be cleaved in two by it. Then, the sword light continued to slash forward.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The air exploded. The blood-red sword light, with an unstoppable force, split the Gang Qi Wall in two, before carrying on its relentless path forward.

Bang!

Another muffled sound rang out. The sword radiance unleashed by Hua Jian met the blood-colored sword light, shattering with a mighty crash, turning into countless waves of energy that scattered in all directions. And the blood-colored sword light dimmed significantly.

Boom!

Just at that moment, the Gang Qi Great Halberd thrown by Lv Yuan hit the blood-colored sword light, causing a resounding blast.

After the loud noise, both the Gang Qi Great Halberd and the blood-colored sword light dissipated into nothingness, creating terrifying waves of energy which, like countless bullets, struck the Gang Qi Wall conjured by Gu Yun and vanished without a trace.

The four Supreme Strongmen, although not using their strongest killing moves, had joined forces in one attack, managing to resolve the ultimate kill move of Jie Dao, preventing anyone from getting hurt.

Seizing this opportunity, Jie Dao, grasping the Bloodthirsty Mad Blade, manipulated his Qi and shot towards the western horizon at an extreme speed, like a streak of blood-red light.

Clearly, he knew that he was no match for Chu Xuanji. Therefore, he resorted to deception, launching a surprise attack on Ye Fan and the others, catching everyone off guard to buy himself time to escape.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

With the blood-colored sword light dissipated, Chu Xuanji let down his guard, sensed Jie Dao’s rapidly receding aura with his Spiritual Sense, and immediately burst out in an angry bellow as he furiously pursued Jie Dao.

Lv Yuan, Hua Jian, and Gu Yun, although they scorned Jie Dao’s actions, did not add fuel to the fire by helping Chu Xuanji— they all knew that given Chu Xuanji’s strength, as long as he caught up with Jie Dao, killing him would be as easy as flipping his hand.

"Old Dog Chu, are you forcing me to unleash a bloodbath?"

In no time at all, Jie Dao had swept across half of the Tian Shan Sword Sect square. Detecting Chu Xuanji’s rapid approach and knowing that he would inevitably be caught, he burst out in furious roars.

"The life and death of others, what does it have to do with me? Today, I must kill you!"

Chu Xuanji remained unmoved, pushing his speed to the limit as he pursued Jie Dao.

He was different from Yan; he had never cared for the lives of the people of the world.

If that were not the case, he wouldn’t have been called the Evil Emperor, and there would have been no need for Yan to visit Spirit Mountain to request his help; he would have descended the mountain to save the world on his own!

"Brother Xuanji, do not force him. Wait for him to leave this place before killing him; it’s not too late!"

While Chu Xuanji was indifferent to the lives of innocent cultivators, Gu Yun was anxious.

As the leader of the Yanhuang Organization’s three Great Inner Sect elders, representing Yanhuang Organization as the chief referee of the Qing bang competition, and responsible for this Qing bang competition, if Jie Dao disregarded life and death, causing a massacre, Gu Yun would be unable to answer to Yan upon his return and would become a sinner.

"Chu Xuanji, if you don’t stop now, I will start a slaughter, and I mean what I say!"

Hearing Gu Yun’s words, Jie Dao, like a drowning man clutching at the last straw, desperately seized it, issuing another threat.

"Master, let him leave first!"

At the crucial moment, Ye Fan spoke up.

Nobody knew Chu Xuanji better than him.

Given the current situation, even if Yan spoke up, Chu Xuanji might not listen. Only if he spoke up would Chu Xuanji consider stopping.

And sure enough, after hearing Ye Fan’s words, Chu Xuanji hesitated for a moment before ceasing the pursuit, allowing Jie Dao to escape.

Jie Dao’s heart leapt with joy, and he immediately increased his speed to its utmost, flying rapidly towards the west.

However—

Just at that moment...

An extremely terrifying presence suddenly emerged in the skies above the western edge of the Tian Shan Sword Sect square.

A burly figure appeared out of thin air in the sky, enshrouded by a dense Evil Yin Qi, with evil aura rolling off in waves, like the arrival of the Demon Lord.

"Who might you be?!"

Sensing the dreadful presence ahead, Jie Dao paled in shock and steadied his form immediately.

"The Sword King in all his glory reduced to such a state? You may as well unleash a massacre, I’ll hold off the others for you!"

The person’s answer came unexpectedly, his voice like a thunderclap, booming across the sky.

As his words faded, his silhouette became visible!

The man took a step in the air, crossing over a hundred meters in one stride, arriving instantly before Jie Dao.

"You?!"

As Jie Dao drew close and recognized the person before him, his eyes widened in shock, then elation filled his heart.

For he knew that with this person’s arrival, unless Yan himself appeared, today, the Tian Shan Sword Sect would undoubtedly witness a bloodbath, a mountain of corpses!

Swish!

Meanwhile, in the spectator stands, including Gu Yun, Hua Jian, and Lv Yuan, several older and more senior strong people all changed color!

"Are you sure you want to perpetuate tyranny?"

In the sky, Chu Xuanji stared at the blurred figure enveloped by the Evil Yin Qi, speaking slowly, with a tone deeper and a face more solemn than ever before.

"Perpetuate tyranny? No, I simply wish to hold a funeral here!"

The man answered with a mocking smile, his entire body’s killing intent filling the sky, as if the Death God himself had descended to deliver calamity!
