Chapter 336
Yes, I killed them all.
Chapter 336 Yes, I killed them all.
Jiang Man looked at the remaining six people and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
These people are very strong.
It would be very troublesome if a real fight broke out.
Seven days ago, he used the evil god's method to explore the sword tomb. At first, he found nothing, but later he discovered a strange place that he couldn't enter.
Further investigation revealed traces of array formations within the sword tomb.
Later, it was discovered that as long as that place was activated, the formation would react. In the end, the formation that activated that place was left behind, and then the source of the hidden formation was traced.
Finally, it traced back to this place.
With the backing of the evil god's magic, he quickly and silently approached and then killed the guard, Old He.
The opponent was quite strong, and he almost caused a commotion.
Then he wanted to thoroughly study the formation here so that he could trap these people in turn.
Finally, report it.
These people are too strong; he's not confident.
And yet, they still managed to find out.
We had no choice but to take action.
At this moment, he used the power of the evil god, but did not activate his identity as Zui Fusheng.
I fear that if I fail to keep everyone here, I will tarnish the reputation of Zui Fusheng.
Maintaining such a high position is truly not easy.
However, the methods of evil gods are very useful. They can hide oneself and also use certain characteristics of evil gods to perceive things that ordinary people cannot perceive.
However, Jiang Man was also somewhat curious about these seven people.
They don't seem to be people of the evil god.
"Who are you? What brings you among us?" The white-haired leader's pupils contracted when he saw the other man kill one of his men with a flick of his finger.
He was moved by the opponent's strength.
I thought that with his cultivation level, he would be more than capable of handling any task involving a prodigy from the Misty Cloud Sect.
That has always been the case, but how come we've encountered such a powerful figure now?
Are they from the Misty Cloud Sect?
Or are they from other factions?
"What ancient artifact have you come for?" Jiang Man asked in a calm tone, as if inquiring about the weather.
He had heard these people mention ancient things.
The white-haired man's expression changed slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "How much did you hear?"
He preferred that they part ways unless the other party mentioned anything ancient.
Once it's mentioned, it's no longer allowed.
Once the news gets out, their mission will be a complete failure with far-reaching consequences.
This, in particular, attracted the attention of the Mist Cloud Sect.
I'm afraid there will be no more chances.
In an instant, the remaining five people began to slowly disperse, surrounding Jiang Man from different directions.
The array beneath their feet began to spread outwards, with pale golden patterns spreading across the ground, intertwining and entwining like living things.
"Why do you have to make things difficult for us?" Before Jiang Man could answer, the white-haired man at the head of the group took a step forward.
In an instant, a terrifying power erupted.
His vast blood and energy surged and burned, and the air around him was distorted and deformed by the scorching heat waves.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Jiang Man and threw a punch.
It was so fast that the air didn't even have time to make a sound.
Jiang Man watched as the fist filled his entire field of vision, his expression unchanged.
A powerful fist hurtled towards him, the wind whipping his robes. But just as it was about to touch Jiang Man's face, the fist seemed to be blocked by something, unable to get any closer.
Supernatural powers, yet worlds apart.
In an instant, the white-haired man felt his attack being stretched out infinitely.
Even though they are so close, it feels like they are separated by thousands of miles.
No matter how much he increased his strength, his fist could not advance an inch further.
Veins bulged on his forehead, and the muscles in his arms were taut to the limit. It was as if the power of his blood and qi was burning wildly, but he was helpless and could only watch that calm face so close to him, yet untouchable.
At this moment, Jiang Man slowly raised his hand and tapped the other person's fist from a distance.
The movements were understated.
However, in the next instant, a powerful primordial spirit force roared in, like three mountains crashing down at the same time.
Supernatural powers, suppressing the three mountains.
boom!
The immense power of the primordial spirit crashed into the white-haired man like a mountain collapsing.
His expression changed, and he thought to himself, "So strong."
The powerful impact caused his internal energy to collapse instantly, and his entire body felt as if it had been slapped by an invisible giant hand, resulting in a terrifying crushing effect.
His bones cracked loudly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving a long trail of blood in the air.
Then, with a bang, he was sent flying backward and crashed heavily onto the ground dozens of feet away, creating a deep crater.
Gravel and dirt flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.
Jiang Man did not press his advantage, because the attacks from the other four had already begun.
Boom!
Four powerful spells bombarded from different directions.
The intertwining of sword intent, magic, and other forces caused the earth beneath their feet to tremble and shatter, with cracks spreading in all directions.
The ground beneath Jiang Man's feet evaporated in the blink of an eye, revealing the dark rock layers below.
However, no matter how much power rushed to him, it could not get close.
Then, a suppressive force as heavy as a mountain erupted from his body.
The force of those attacks was all deflected, exploding in mid-air and turning into countless fragments of spiritual light.
"The opening is now!"
The moment the force was knocked away, the bald man had already appeared beside Jiang Man.
He was incredibly fast, his figure almost becoming a blur.
His hand had already gripped Jiang Man's shoulder, his five fingers clenching like iron clamps.
"Let's see how you hide now."
The bald man unleashed his power, intending to shatter the opponent's shoulder bone.
However, the imagined shoulder break did not occur.
His power poured in, but it was like striking a piece of ancient black iron, leaving it completely unmoved.
This?
Body cultivation?
Jiang Man turned to look at the other person, her gaze so calm it was chilling.
At the same time, his hand had already grabbed the bald man's wrist.
The moment the opponent unleashed their power, Jiang Man suddenly pried them apart and pulled them towards him.
The bald man involuntarily leaned forward, losing his balance.
Immediately, Jiang Man used the back of his other hand to strike the other person's cheek.
boom!
The bald man used his only remaining hand to block the sudden attack.
However, his arm was not able to completely block the blow.
With a crisp crack, the forearm bones broke clearly, and the arm bent at an abnormal angle.
The fist pierced through the deformed arm defense and landed heavily on his cheek.
His entire face began to twist and deform, his cheekbones sunken, and blood gushed from the corners of his eyes, nostrils, and mouth at the same time.
boom!
The bald man was sent flying, bounced twice on the ground, rolled dozens of feet away, and crashed into several thick ancient trees before coming to a stop.
At the same time, the sky changed, and a hand fell down.
In his haste, Jiang Man raised his hand and struck out with a palm as a response.
boom!
The force of the impact knocked Jiang Man back, forcing him to stand in the pit. Then the force spread, tearing up the surrounding land.
Jiang Man did not fully absorb the opponent's attack power before reaching out and grabbing the opponent's wrist.
The aftershocks of the force hit Jiang Man, causing his internal organs to churn.
But he also caught the person.
Without the slightest hesitation, he yanked the petite woman down and simultaneously threw a punch.
boom!
The fist slammed into the short woman's abdomen, causing her body to cave in.
The crater in the ground has expanded again.
The short woman's body was partially broken, and she was spitting out blood.
She then gritted her teeth and snapped off the arm that had been grabbed, using Blood Escape to escape the attack range.
Before Jiang Man could give chase, people around him attacked again.
Jiang Man responded quickly.
During this time, Jiang Man's figure and their figures quickly disappeared and reappeared in the mountains and forests.
Each collision unleashed a storm of shockwaves, and numerous magical spells shook the heavens and the earth, turning the surrounding mountains and forests into ruins.
Giant trees were uprooted, boulders shattered and scattered, leaving behind shocking ravines on the earth.
Those people were knocked away and attacked by Jiang Man.
It seems like it can't be killed.
As the fight progressed, Jiang Man began to gather a powerful aura.
It was an indescribable sense of oppression that constantly tempered and solidified his mind and will.
With each punch and each block, the momentum grew stronger and more powerful.
A profound sense of powerlessness spread through everyone's hearts.
They felt that today it wasn't them who were going to fight to the death against "Old He," but rather that the person in front of them was going to kill them.
They began to consider giving up.
Unfortunately, they felt as if their minds were trapped.
Can't escape.
“Sir, we have many things we can trade, and our intelligence is something you have never had access to before,” the white-haired man said.
"It's no longer needed," Jiang Man said in a cold voice.
He felt it was about time to kill them all.
Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly sensed a terrifying force.
boom!
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from the distant sky. Then, a beam of light shot through the mountains and pierced the sky.
Where is the Sword Tomb located?
Jiang Man was shocked. Had something happened over there?
At that moment, a beam of light cleaved the sky, and countless forces went berserk in chaos.
Then it flew in.
boom!
boom!
boom!
These forces permeated everyone around them.
Even though Jiang Mandu was being beaten and forced to retreat.
This isn't a rampage; this is a targeted kill.
At this moment, the short woman threw a book at Jiang Man and shouted, "All the information you want is here."
She then used her blood escape technique to flee.
The white-haired man then tossed Jiang Man a storage artifact: "There are abundant resources here."
Then he used Blood Escape to escape.
As they fled behind Jiang Man, their powerful attacks landed directly on him.
This gave them some time to escape.
Others weren't so lucky.
Everything was pierced by this chaotic force.
Jiang Man's hand was numb from being hit.
However, they obtained the storage artifact and the book.
After seeing where the two men had fled, he did not give chase, but instead headed towards the Sword Tomb.
We need to see what's happening over there.
If the mission fails, then it's all over.
There is no hope of returning to emptiness.
Not to mention establishing a place for immortals to cultivate.
Jiang Man soon returned to the Sword Tomb and found the location of the unique power he had discovered earlier.
He couldn't get into that place yet; he wanted to take it slow.
This time, he found he could no longer sense anything.
That's it?
Jiang Man was somewhat surprised, and then he discovered that many formations had appeared around him.
These formations are extremely peculiar.
"It's somewhat similar to the formation on the altar. Is it the same person? Or of the same type?"
Jiang Man immediately wrote it down on paper and pen, intending to ask about it later.
Furthermore, he truly did not know what exactly was missing here.
But I always felt like I missed the chance to unlock my talent.
"I thought this matter would be over once I dealt with those people outside, but I didn't expect there were still people hiding in the shadows."
Jiang Man dusted himself off and had no choice but to accept reality.
Some people do things openly, while others do them covertly; it's unavoidable.
Soon, Zhuo Qingcheng and the others arrived.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Jiang Man was alright.
"Senior brother, what happened?" Zhuo Qingcheng quickly stepped forward and asked.
“Someone stole something from here, but we’re not sure what it was,” Jiang Man answered truthfully.
It's normal that they can't find this, after all, such an ancient array pattern has appeared.
It seems some old guy might be involved.
The previous attacks, in particular, demonstrate that the opponent possesses extraordinary abilities.
"Let's go check outside first," Jiang Man said.
The external forces caused damage, destroying large areas of forest, which is also a huge loss.
Soon, the young sect leader announced that he had made a discovery.
Jiang Man and the others followed.
As soon as he arrived, Jiang Man felt a little embarrassed, because he had come to the place where he had just fought.
"We found several corpses and signs of a battle. There was a fierce fight here just now, and it was quite a commotion," the young sect leader said.
"Who are fighting here? And why are they fighting?" Han Meixue asked.
With such a commotion, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the Misty Cloud Sect?
Especially after just acquiring the Power Beam.
These people are really bold.
Jiang Man calmly said, "It is indeed strange."
Think what you want, it's none of my business.
The young sect leader examined the faces of the corpses and quickly recognized that some of them were the people who had appeared earlier.
Zhuo Qingcheng also observed carefully and was surprised to find: "He is a traitor to the sect, and he is wanted by the authorities."
"Wanted?" Jiang Man asked curiously, "What kind of wanted notice?"
Zhuo Qingcheng explained, "The sect has a bounty on the wanted criminals: 100,000 for information, 150,000 for confirmed location, 300,000 for killing, and 500,000 for capturing alive."
Jiang Man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Han Meixue: "What did you just ask, Junior Sister?"
Han Meixue looked bewildered, then asked, "Who is fighting here? And why are they fighting?"
Jiang Man nodded and said, "Originally, I didn't want to cause trouble, but the situation is so complicated, so I'll just tell the truth."
"I fought them here to personally avenge the traitor for the sect."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Jiang Man.
For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.
Even He Que, who was recording, couldn't help but pause.
"Why are you looking at me? I am a legend of the sect, a prodigy, invincible among my peers, and a powerful expert beyond my level. Is it unreasonable for me to kill them?" Jiang Man asked.
Zhuo Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment, and said, "It is indeed reasonable for Senior Brother to kill them, but Senior Brother was just in the Sword Tomb."
"I fought them outside at first, and only went back to check the Sword Tomb after I killed them," Jiang Man said truthfully.
Zhuo Qingcheng opened her mouth but ultimately didn't speak.
He Que said righteously, "You're taking credit for something you didn't do. As soon as you heard there was a spiritual source, you said you killed it. Why didn't you say that just now?"
Jiang Man said in a serious tone, "You are the supervisor, so just record everything. I'm telling the truth."
"I killed the person."
"Keep looking so you don't miss anything, and then see how many of them are wanted criminals."
"Senior brother, will the sect object?" Han Meixue asked cautiously.
There is precedent for this.
Jiang Man calmly looked at everyone and said, "What evidence does the sect have to prove that I didn't kill him? The parties involved have no objections, so what objections could they, far away in the sect, possibly have?"
Even if someone committed murder, do we still need to provide evidence?
Demand that the sect provide evidence that it was not a homicide.
Han Meixue muttered to herself, "Why does my senior brother always do this kind of thing?"
Will the sect ask people to provide evidence in the future?
Zhuo Qingcheng pondered for a moment and said, "Senior brother, there are some minor issues with this matter. If you killed them, then the forces behind these people might identify you as the one who did it."
"There is probably considerable danger."
Jiang Man calmly said, "One person does the deed, one person takes the blame. You just need to say that I killed him all by myself."
Zhuo Qingcheng was taken aback. She felt that her senior brother was overthinking things; they had no intention of sharing the credit.
How can we divide this? These people are far too powerful for us to kill.
He Que stared intently at Jiang Man, feeling that the person in front of him could do anything because he had spiritual energy.
Then it was just about practicing every day.
The young sect leader had no objection; he didn't understand either.
Whatever Jiang Man says goes.
His job was to look around, and sure enough, he found another hidden corpse.
Next, Zhuo Qingcheng identified the person to see if they were a wanted criminal.
-
Qingcheng Sect.
Ren Qian, who was busy, suddenly received a message.
"There's a powerful aura coming from the direction of Lingyue Sect, suspected to be that of an evil god." Ren Qian exclaimed in surprise, "A powerful aura of an evil god? And the sect detected it directly?"
"It seems that the other party took action immediately as soon as the Immortal Sect's Great Healing was covered."
"What is it over there that makes them so anxious?"
Without hesitation, he immediately led his men there.
Moreover, the Lingyue Sect.
Isn't this the sect Jiang Man went to?
It has to be said, this junior brother has a lot on his plate.
Wherever you go, there are problems.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the evil god was too active or Jiang Man's physique was too special.
It feels like after getting to know Jiang Man, everything I see is about evil gods.
They're always spies, colluding with evil gods.
On the way, he received a message from the Lingyue Sect.
It is said that some wanted criminals were found, and then Jiang Man, the person in charge of this recruitment drive, managed to kill them with great difficulty.
A total of four people.
Ren Qian's face darkened as he looked at the list.
Two periods of initial stage of returning to emptiness, and two periods of middle stage of returning to emptiness.
Was he killed by Jiang Man?
Are you kidding me?
It also says that I am certain that the person was murdered, and there was no outside help.
Ren Qian: "."
It was only during this expansion of enrollment that they discovered there were many problems with the rules set by the sect.
