The Purgatory Calamity
Chapter 222 - 207: Please Die First!_1

Chapter 222: Chapter 207: Please Die First!_1

The Wood Tribe leader was surreptitiously sizing up Pang Jian.

A moment later, she suddenly communicated with Yu Gu in a secret language, "Elder Yu Gu, he had drunk the medicine bestowed by the Goddess, and he was not someone we should have dealt with. At this moment, the scent of the medicinal effect is merely dissipating from him."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Yu Gu’s eyes.

"Pang Jian, you actually dared to kill Elder Lou?!"

Cao Mang could no longer hold back, flying into a thunderous rage.

Standing with the Star-shattering Umbrella overhead and holding a silver spear in his hand, Pang Jian looked at the former master of the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands with a calm expression, "Yes, I killed him."

"How dare you provoke a racial civil war?"

Cao Mang roared furiously at Black Iron Mountain.

Jiuyuan, Yang Rui, and high-level Great Cultivators like Wei Wenhan temporarily abandoned their opponents and looked at Pang Jian in shock.

At a time when the Human Race was fighting hard against Alien Tribes, there was someone like Pang Jian, a Different Kind, who dared to commit such a blatant act of treachery, stirring up internal strife.

—There could be no worse incident than this.

Since Pang Jian had admitted to it, he became the public enemy of the Human Race!

"Why should I not dare?"

Pang Jian retorted.

A thick scoffing flashed in his eyes as he suddenly recalled the scene at the internal trading ground not long ago, where he repeatedly questioned Cao Mang about his right to capture Luo Hongyan.

Cao Mang’s domineering response was still vivid in his memory.

"On my turf, I, Pang Jian, will do whatever I want, and none of the five major Sects can interfere!"

He threw back Cao Mang’s very words from that day at him!

However, he had replaced Cao Mang’s name with his own.

Having merged with the Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands after the Mysterious Turtle submerged into the heart of the earth, he was rightfully the new master of Yuan Mang!

When he said that Yuan Mang was his territory, it was truly fitting.

In the past, Cao Mang merely dominated the First Peak and had only constructed a Heavenly Killing Spirit Array; this could not compare to the authority Pang Jian now wielded.

"Your territory?!"

The dwarf-like Cao Mang choked with rage, his chest wounds bursting open, spewing crimson blood.

His face turned as red as cinnabar, and as he pointed at Pang Jian on the small Black Iron Mountain, he wanted to denounce him furiously, but was so angry he could only breathe heavily.

Jiuyuan, Yang Rui, Wei Wenhan, Lian Feng, and many other powerhouses stood there, completely dumbfounded.

Yuan Mang? Pang Jian’s territory?

How could he dare speak thus?

The shocked and uncertain gazes froze on Pang Jian, all thinking that perhaps he had gone mad and begun to speak incoherently.

"Your territory?!"

Cao Mang roared again.

This was his Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, this was the very First Peak of Yuan Mang that he had spent nearly a century shaping. Here were the trading events he had painstakingly managed!

He had poured his heart and soul into Yuan Mang, staking half his life on it; his very cultivation and future were inextricably tied to it!

Since when had Yuan Mang become someone else’s territory?

"Pfft!"

Madam Hua, who also considered Yuan Mang as a part of her life, suddenly became distracted and was pierced through her waist by a dry branch.

"Pang Jian!"

Madam Hua’s hysterical scream echoed as she bled from the corners of her mouth and flew away from the Wood Tribe’s powerhouses.

"You lowly runt, don’t think that just because you wear a robe from the Sword Tower, you’re truly a disciple of the Sword Tower! Remember this! You are not yet at the Sword Tower, not yet recorded in the Sword Tower’s register; you’re not a true disciple!"

"Even if you were a Sword Tower disciple, daring to incite internal conflict while everyone is united against the Alien Tribes, you will undoubtedly die!"

She seemed even more outraged than Cao Mang.

Riding on that colorful carpet, she made a move as if she was about to fly in front of Pang Jian to kill this misleading youth on the spot.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Great trees floating in the air came from all directions, blocking and surrounding her, making it difficult for her to move through mid-air.

The Wood Tribe Elder, guessing that Pang Jian was carrying a dense Life Vitality, secretly cooperated with his efforts.

"Yuan Mang is indeed my territory."

"Also, it was Lou Yunming who tried to kill me; I was merely counterattacking," Pang Jian explained dismissively, then turned his gaze to Jiuyuan and said coldly, "Lou Yunming provoked me first, so his death is not a pity. As for you, whether you’ve provoked me or not, your death is certain."

"You should have heard, I’ve said it more than once; I will make sure you die in Yuan Mang."

"So now, go die."

The Star-shattering Umbrella flew through the void, heading straight for Jiuyuan.

Pang Jian, holding the spear, dragged the long weapon in one hand, swiftly lunging toward Jiuyuan.

The sharp point of the spear dragged across the hard-as-iron ground, sparking a "hiss" of fiery light.

Along the way.

Alien powerhouses instructed by Yu Gu and Level Six Ferocious Beasts, seeing Pang Jian pass by, all stopped in their tracks, not moving.

Fearing that Pang Jian might be wary, even the blood-soaked warriors of the Devil Scale Tribe took the initiative to back away as he approached, giving way.

This action served to show that they had no intention of attacking him.

The strange behavior of the Alien Tribes and the Ferocious Beasts made Pang Jian’s actions all the more eerie and peculiar at this moment.

"He really dares!"

Lian Feng’s expression suddenly changed.

Just a moment before, Pang Jian had explained that Lou Yunming’s death was due to seeking his own demise, as it was Lou Yunming who attacked first.

Individual Cultivators like Lian Feng naturally assumed that as long as they did not provoke Pang Jian and did not seek death like Lou Yunming, Pang Jian would not go against the big picture by attacking his own people.

But the next moment.

Pang Jian suddenly turned his spearhead towards Jiuyuan, regardless of whether Jiuyuan had provoked him or not, clearly indicating his intent to kill Jiuyuan!

Forget the Alien invasion, forget the unspoken covenant against Human Race infighting, Pang Jian disregarded it all!

He was intent on killing Jiuyuan, and both the Aliens and the Ferocious Beasts were oddly opening the way for him!

"Pang Jian, you are deliberately courting death!"

Immersed in a sea of blood, Jiuyuan finally escaped the annoying Armored Demon Beast and suddenly saw Pang Jian unleash the Star-shattering Umbrella while wielding a long spear, charging towards him with chilling cruelty.

With an evil grin on his face, his uncontrollable fury far surpassed his panic.

Jiuyuan couldn’t believe it and found it hard to accept.

Putting aside Pang Jian’s level of cultivation for a moment, how could he dare to turn his blade on his own during an invasion by Alien Tribes, revealing such intense murderous intent towards him?

"Once I have slaughtered you and settled our old grievances, I’ll deal with the worry of the Alien Tribes’ invasion."

"Jiuyuan, if you do not die, my heart will not be at peace."

"If my heart is not at peace, I won’t be able to concentrate on dealing with the attacking Alien Tribes."

"So, please die first."

Accompanied by Pang Jian’s icy shout, like a glacier of ten thousand years, the Star-shattering Umbrella surged forward, hovering over the thick crimson sea where Jiuyuan stood.

Pang Jian rode the spear into battle!

"Whirr! Whirr, whirr!"

The Star-shattering Umbrella, seemingly capable of piercing the heavens, draped down dazzling rays of light.

In the depths of the brilliance, tiny fragmented stars appeared, along with a sacred Bright Moon, and even the naked eye could see strands of ice crystal lightning.

Jiuyuan and the dense sea of blood around him were enveloped by such a glow of divine light.

"Swish!"

Pang Jian dashed into it with his spear.

"Boom!"

The Star-shattering Umbrella expanded again, enveloping the entire area below, isolating it from the mountain summit world.

All creatures on the mountain peak, whether Human Race, Alien Tribes, or Ferocious Beasts, focused their eyes on the area below the Star-shattering Umbrella, which had become blurry and chaotic.

They could only vaguely make out the silhouettes of Jiuyuan and Pang Jian.

"Keep killing!"

Yu Gu suddenly shouted in the language of the Human Race.

The battlefield, which had paused for a moment, once again erupted in bloodshed, and the brutal slaughter between the Alien Tribes and the Human Race continued.

Cao Mang, Madam Hua, Yang Rui, and others were forced back into battle in a panic, but their gazes frequently returned to the area now covered by the Star-shattering Umbrella.

"Pang Jian..."

Yang Rui, the prodigy of the Raging Sun Sect, frowned deeply, a somber expression on his face.

In his wildest dreams, he never imagined that this young Hunter from the Fourth Realm would not only survive the Yuan Mang chaos but would also take possession of Liang Ying’s Star-shattering Umbrella.

Yang Rui couldn’t even imagine that this man would dare to climb to the summit of the First Peak and begin direct revenge, starting with Lou Yunming of the Yin Spirit Temple—

—utterly disregarding the so-called great righteousness of the Human Race standing united against outsiders!

He also openly stated that he couldn’t settle his mind unless Jiuyuan died, and if his mind wasn’t settled, he couldn’t deal with the invading Alien Tribes.

He asked Jiuyuan to die first...

Yang Rui subconsciously rubbed his forehead as if smoothing out the wrinkle between his brows, thinking, "The things I did in the trading area, intending to retaliate, are probably also hated by him. This kid... will probably target me too, so I must be careful in my response and never let my guard down."

In secret, Yang Rui, the leading figure of the Hollow Profound Realm from the Third Realm, already regarded Pang Jian as the most terrifying opponent of his life.

A miniature world within the umbrella.

The frantic Jiuyuan, tossing in a deep crimson sea of blood, roared the moment he saw Pang Jian appear with his spear, "Like a mayfly shaking a tree, you overestimate yourself!"

He flicked his finger.

"Whoosh!"

A drop of bright red blood, endowed with Divine Sense, Spiritual Power, and the essence of Qi and Blood, shot straight towards Pang Jian’s chest.

Dragging a thick trail of blood-red light, the drop of blood coalesced into a ferocious one-horned blood beast. With its horn, whose reality was uncertain, it aimed for Pang Jian’s heart and thrust forward.

"Swoosh!"

The prepared Pang Jian gathered Spiritual Power, Starlight, Moon Energy, and Extreme Cold Alien Power, summoning a Spiritual Power Strong Shield, much sturdier than those of his peers at the same realm.

Once the glowing green Firm Cover appeared, the one-horned blood beast refined by Jiuyuan’s Blood Refinement shattered into pieces as if it had rammed into an iron plate.

"How can the Hollow Profound Realm’s bodily shield be so sturdy!"

A shock ran through Jiuyuan’s heart.

"Slash!"

A crimson Long Blade lying beneath the blood sea, which had previously been used to ambush the Armored Demon Beast, suddenly slashed towards Pang Jian.

The Long Blade, exuding a seductive brilliance, unleashed a twisting force of blood, seemingly intent on reversing Pang Jian’s own blood flow.

Most who were of a lower realm than Jiuyuan would lose control of their blood under the bewitching light of the "Blade of Blood Reversal" even before the blade could strike.

As the "Blade of Blood Reversal" came slashing towards them, most opponents would be decapitated, split into two by the bloody blade.

Yet under the blood light’s illumination, Pang Jian’s body’s blood did not rebel and reverse its flow. Without waiting for the blood-stained blade to approach, the Astonishing Spear in his hand charged with energy, thrusting forward.

A cold light arced precisely onto the blade of the Blade of Blood Reversal.

"Clang!"

The Long Blade, animated by Jiuyuan’s Spiritual Soul, was struck as if by a weight of ten thousand catties and plunged back into the crimson blood sea.

Pang Jian saw clearly that the so-called blood sea was actually the blood flowing from the crimson cape.

Jiuyuan stood atop the cape, now enlarged tenfold, as if he was on a sea of blood floating in a void. With Jiuyuan’s release of power, thick blood continually poured from the cape.

"Jiuyuan, you, Lou Yunming, and Liang Ying are all at the early stages of the Spirit Condensation Realm. Your combat strength is closely matched," Pang Jian proclaimed.

"Liang Ying is dead, Lou Yunming is dead, how can you hope to escape?"

"I’ve stated multiple times that I will kill you. Here in my Pang Jian’s Yuanmang Fragmented Lands, not even you, Jiuyuan, could escape if you sprouted wings."

The Pang Jian who had learned the art of psychological warfare, eyed the area beneath Jiuyuan’s chest and coldly stated as the Blade of Blood Reversal fell back into the blood sea, "The Body Refining technique of the Blood Moon seems to be no match for the Great Creation Sacred Body, and the Blood and Flesh Essence Energy you’ve stored in your Spirit Condensation Realm seems to be no richer than mine."

No sooner had he finished speaking—

"Slash, slash!"

Multitudes of entwined beams of Spiritual Power suddenly surged from beneath the blood sea in which Jiuyuan floundered, shredding the crimson cape he was standing on with a splash of blood light.

As the crimson cape fell apart, Jiuyuan howled in pain, as if his own flesh was being sliced.

"Heavenly Killing Spirit Array!"

Jiuyuan let out a terrified scream, akin to that of Lou Yunming.

...
