Chapter 225: Chapter 210: Kill Jiuyuan!_1

An Umbrella’s Small World.

Jiuyuan’s mind trembled with fear, as realization of the truth made him even more terrified, and he looked around fearfully.

He couldn’t fathom or understand what Pang Jian, at the Hollow Profound Realm, was relying on to secretly control Yuanmang’s gravity, rendering even a Great Cultivator of his high status unable to break free.

He also suddenly realized why Lou Yunming, who was of the same realm, had died at Pang Jian’s hands.

To deal with Pang Jian, who could grasp the very rules of nature in a realm like Yuanmang, his combat power should never be underestimated as merely that of the Hollow Profound Realm!

"It’s too late for you to know."

Pang Jian nodded with a light tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Feeling the situation within Jiuyuan’s body, he was certain that Jiuyuan no longer had the power to escape the Star-shattering Umbrella, and he knew that Fang Boxuan, Xie Xiwen, and others, couldn’t hear every word he was about to say.

So he said, "As I said, in my Yuan Mang Fragmented Lands, the five major sects have no right to interfere with what I, Pang Jian, wish to do."

"If I can integrate with Yuanmang, then I am the Sovereign God Spirit of this realm, with mysterious powers incomprehensible even to gods and spirits."

"To kill you, Jiuyuan, is naturally easy as pie."

The handle of the Star-shattering Umbrella rotated lightly, and the stars and full moon above, as well as an ice pool brimming with cold air, coalesced into a vast oppressive force targeting Jiuyuan specifically.

In the sky, shooting stars fell like a rain of light, while bitterly cold Moon Blades formed small storms that bombarded from all sides.

On the ground, a gravity that had surged tens of times made it impossible for Jiuyuan, already at the end of his strength, to free himself.

Jiuyuan, with no escape from earth to sky, could only unsheath the Blade of Blood Reversal to slice through the myriad of stars in the sky, yet still, he was surrounded by the storm of Moon Blades, and his blood-red firm cover suddenly burst.

This time, his Spiritual Sea had long dried up, and his vital energy was so thin it was hardly worth mentioning.

"Pang Jian!"

Jiuyuan, amid his angry shout, took out a purple gold pendant covered with sword marks and pressed it fiercely against his own chest.

As the pendant, marked with sword slashes, absorbed the blood flowing from his chest, it suddenly shattered.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

In that moment of the pendant shattering, the sealed Purple Gold Sword Glow burst forth, striking at Pang Jian.

The Purple Gold Sword Glow, not belonging to Jiuyuan, carried a sinister and malevolent Sword Intent that could wither all things.

Pang Jian did not dare to be careless, and immediately summoned the Qingying Gang Shield, only for it to be "puff, puff" pierced by the sword glow.

The withering Sword Intent immediately infiltrated the shield and Pang Jian’s flesh and body.

In an instant, Pang Jian found himself in a strange world where everything was dead, seeing piles of bones and countless flashes of Purple Gold Sword Glow in the void.

"If I die, you won’t live either!"

Jiuyuan bared his teeth in a vicious smile.

In his laughter, streams of Purple Gold Sword Glow also pierced Pang Jian’s flesh, instantly muddying his physique.

The terrifying sword force that eroded flesh and withered vitality still ran rampant in Pang Jian’s organs.

Pang Jian gritted his teeth and screamed in agony, he threw the Astonishing Spear with one hand, and with this spear that moved as his heart desired, he penetrated Jiuyuan’s immobilized body.

Pang Jian, with his protective cover shattered, sat down in the Umbrella’s Small World, struggling to gather the Power of the Sun from his Spiritual Sea and the power of magma, using his Divine Sense as eyes to intercept and block the terrifying Sword Intent.

"Chila!"

"Peng!"

In his vital chest area, wisps of Purple Gold Sword Glow scurried like living creatures, being slaughtered within his body by numerous flames and fire glows, bit by bit dissipating.

Pang Jian was drenched in sweat, and the pain in his limbs almost made him faint.

Finally, he managed to grind the Purple Gold Sword Intent that had invaded his body into nothingness, and the many wounds on his chest were deep to the bone.

"Kid, how’s the feeling?"

"Haha, even if I, Jiuyuan, die here, I will have you join me in death!"

Jiuyuan laughed madly, feeling the loss of vitality within him and knowing that he could not escape death.

He stared into Pang Jian’s eyes, watching his miserable state and laughing strangely, "Pang Jian, you won’t live either!"

"Any other cultivators at the Hollow Profound Realm receiving such injuries would probably truly die."

Pang Jian, with cold sweat on his forehead, began to speak.

"But I won’t, if I were those ubiquitous Hollow Profound Realm cultivators, I wouldn’t have the qualifications to slaughter a great cultivator of the Spirit Condensation Realm like you."

He used the life vitality contained in the luminescent green leaves to spread a trace of energy brimming with endless vitality throughout his limbs and body.

The ruptured wounds immediately began to heal, broken tendons reconnected, and burst organs were rapidly repaired!

"What kind of monster are you?"

Jiuyuan, with the Astonishing Spear still buried in his chest, looked in horror as Pang Jian, sitting on the ground, shakily stood up.

The blood on Pang Jian’s body had stopped, and he was regaining the ability to move, step by step approaching Jiuyuan.

And he, on the other hand, had completely lost the power to fight back.

"Hiss!"

Pang Jian, taking a sharp breath, tore off a chunk of coagulated blood from his waist, revealing the number of luminous green wounds interwoven with sparkling light underneath.

The luminous green light, filled with endless vitality, like stitches held by a God Spirit, mended his dreadful wounds.

The terrible wounds, not much better than Jiuyuan’s, healed in the blink of an eye and were firmly wrapped by a rich vitality that even Jiuyuan could clearly sense.

"Thud! Thud, thud!"

Pang Jian’s strong heartbeat, like a volcano releasing flaming energy, continued to emit life energy outward.

Soon, Pang Jian was entirely engulfed in an indescribable vast vitality.

Jiuyuan could see that every tiny wound on Pang Jian’s body, the tendons sliced by the Purple Gold Sword Glow, were rapidly returning to their original state.

Such extraordinary healing powers were unthinkable for Hollow Profound Realm cultivators, and even those of Spirit Condensation and Soul Wandering Realms couldn’t achieve this!

Only in the era most focused on the Special Bodily Refinement Skill, where those profoundly skilled in this art might possibly possess such heaven-defying self-healing abilities like Pang Jian.

"The Great Creation Sacred Body also absolutely possesses no such divine might!"

Jiuyuan couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

"This is where it ends, I still have to kill Cao Mang and his wife, I don’t have time to waste with you."

Pang Jian gripped the shaft of the Astonishing Spear, staring into Jiuyuan’s blood-filled eyes of fear, and he hoisted the spear upward.

"Rip!"

Jiuyuan’s body was torn in half by the sharp spear tip, his viscera all split apart.

Only when the spear tip reached his neck did Pang Jian twist the shaft slightly.

"Thud!"

Jiuyuan’s head rolled on the ground like a watermelon.

With a furrowed brow, Pang Jian flicked his spear shaft, catching the blood-dripping head of Jiuyuan with another piece of rag before stowing it in his bag.

"The Blade of Blood Reversal" and Jiuyuan’s storage ring were also nonchalantly collected by Pang Jian.

"Mysterious Turtle, absorb the spiritual energy of nature for me."

With a thought, dense Spiritual Energy surged towards his Spiritual Sea, allowing him to recover most of his Spiritual Power in a short time.

The reason he dared to lavish his power in depleting Jiuyuan was because the Mysterious Turtle was buried in a small Yuan Mang Fragmented Land below; he could always ask the Mysterious Turtle to funnel Spiritual Energy into his Spiritual Sea.

"Sigh!"

The nature’s spiritual energy from within the canyon was converging from all directions, pouring into the Star-shattering Umbrella en masse.

Inside the umbrella’s microcosm, Pang Jian loftily reveled in the vast ocean of spiritual energy, greedily absorbing it through his Sea of Qi and every pore on his body, his eyes alight with joy.

In no time at all, his Spiritual Sea was brimming with Spiritual Power, nearly overflowing.

"Whoosh!"

The murky light curtain of the Star-shattering Umbrella retracted back onto the surface of the umbrella, enabling Pang Jian to appear beneath it.

"Jiuyuan!"

With just one glance, Fang Boxuan felt a surge of cold dread, involuntarily taking two steps back.

"Jiuyuan!"

Star River Alliance cultivators like Xie Xiwen and Shen Lei, looking upon the mutilated limbs and then at the blood-soaked Pang Jian, didn’t know what to say.

At this moment, the rage and hostility in Xie Xiwen’s eyes had disappeared.

During the fight between Pang Jian and Jiuyuan under the sheltering microcosm of the umbrella, Shen Lei feared that this justice-driven girl from the Xie family would seek accountability from Pang Jian for Liang Ying’s death.

—He was afraid Xie Xiwen would implicate all the Star River Alliance members.

Left with no choice, Shen Lei had to reveal to this naive girl from the Xie family that Elder Liang was not as benevolent as she imagined.

In the past, Elder Liang had also led sect disciples on trials outside and had done similar deeds to individual cultivators.

—Killing for treasure.

And not just once.

Having her beliefs overturned, Xie Xiwen was finally willing to believe Pang Jian’s words, believing that Liang Ying, having harbored murderous intent, had struck first, and was subsequently slain by Pang Jian with miraculous methods.

Just as he had just killed Jiuyuan.

"Pang Jian, Jiuyuan’s actions do not represent our Blood Moon!"

Fang Boxuan spoke righteously, condemning Jiuyuan’s quirks before saying, "He is the black sheep of our Blood Moon, many despise him and scorn his behavior! I hope you will not carry resentment towards our entire Blood Moon because of one Jiuyuan!"

The members of the Star River Alliance suddenly looked at this proud son of the Blood Moon with strange eyes.

It was as if they were seeing him for the first time.

As a member of Blood Moon, no matter how bad his relationship with Jiuyuan was, he should not have watched an outsider kill Jiuyuan right in front of him.

And he particularly shouldn’t be slandering Jiuyuan so maliciously while his corpse was not yet cold.

Although... it couldn’t really be called malicious slander.

"This Fang Boxuan is quite shameless. How could he be such a person? I was truly blind before!"

A girl from the Star River Alliance cursed quietly to herself.

Ignoring their looks, Fang Boxuan continued to plead with Pang Jian, "The dispute between you and Jiuyuan is a personal matter between you two! Please, do not involve the entire Blood Moon! When I return to the Sect, I will report to the Sect Master and inform him of Jiuyuan’s orders to his subordinates to scavenge for young women in the Fifth Realm..."

Before he could finish,

"Whoosh!"

Pang Jian once again maneuvered the spear, holding the umbrella as he departed into the distance.

This time, he had familiarized himself with the many intricacies of the Star-shattering Umbrella, no longer climbing the mountain slowly.

He combined the technique of riding the spear with the buoyancy of the Star-shattering Umbrella to fly straight to the summit of the first peak.

Pang Jian’s second ascent of the mountain!

"Bang!"

Fang Boxuan sat down hard on the ground, his previously steadfast demeanor unable to hold, as he wiped sweat from his brow and muttered, "That scourge has finally left."

The disciples of the Star River Alliance first looked with awe at the retreating figure of Pang Jian under the umbrella, stepping on the spear.

Then they looked disdainfully at Fang Boxuan on the ground, finding the Blood Moon’s chosen one to be utterly shameless.

"Truly a fierce character with overwhelming murderous aura."

Shen Lei shook his head ruefully.

He suddenly realized that the Star-shattering Umbrella... was likely never going to be claimed back from Pang Jian.
