274: Leaving the Ghost Town

“Ah…”

Wherever the Five-Wheeled Thunder Fire Method swept, corpses instantly piled up like mountains, and a large number of Barbarian corpses fell from the Void Realm.

In an instant, tens of thousands of Barbarian soldiers were slaughtered, with no one surviving.

At the same time, Garrison General Gu Tuo, carrying several Barbarian Elders, simultaneously arrived.

“Suppress and Kill!”

Garrison General Gu Tuo held a fourth-grade Formation Plate, and the Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, composed of eighteen supreme Flying Swords, instantly enveloped Chu Jiang in a peerless killing formation.

The other two Heaven and Earth Realm Elders, holding a Lightning Evading Pearl and a Nine Nether Axe, respectively, cooperated from within.

The three astonishing killing Magic Treasures, seemingly capable of suppressing the sky, were wielded by several Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses, aiming to instantly kill Chu Jiang.

Boom!

Heaven and earth roared, and space trembled violently.

The Azure Emperor Dharma Form broke through the large hand and directly attacked the Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses holding the two Magic Treasures.

Chu Jiang was attacked by Gu Tuo’s Heavenly Gang Sword Formation, and the eighteen supreme Flying Swords forming the array were unstoppable; he was sent flying hundreds of meters back the moment they clashed.

“Die!”

Gu Tuo was valiant and spirited, his Blood Qi surging to the heavens; while maintaining the sword array to encircle and kill, he also unleashed a peerless Barbarian martial art to suppress and kill Chu Jiang.

“Barbarian God Seal, Suppress!”

A colossal illusory projection, not much smaller than the Azure Emperor Dharma Form, stepped on the ground like a divine demon, suppressing the Void Realm where Chu Jiang was located.

Bang!

Chu Jiang was injured again, his body swaying precariously from Garrison General Gu Tuo’s attacks, almost being completely suppressed by him.

“So strong!”

He had thought that Qiankun Fourth Realm was only slightly stronger than Qiankun Third Realm, but it seemed to be much stronger. Even with a tenfold increase in combat power, he could only barely maintain an undefeated stance.

Garrison General Gu Tuo’s combat power was at least a dozen times that of that waste Wanyan Zhenguda; a powerhouse tempered by long-term battlefield experience truly had different combat power.

He possessed the Azure Emperor Dharma Form and shared an immortal body, his life energy was extremely vigorous, and he could quickly recover to peak condition after each injury.

This greatly infuriated Garrison General Gu Tuo; he could completely suppress Chu Jiang, even severely wound him, but he couldn’t kill him.

The vitality within his body was too terrifying.

As for the other two Barbarian Heaven and Earth Realm members, although they held two Magic Treasures, they were still suppressed by the Azure Emperor Dharma Form and couldn’t free their hands.

“Bastard!”

This child is terrifying, his talent peerless; he absolutely cannot be allowed to live.

He is a hundred harms and no benefit to his Barbarian Clan.

If he grows up in the future, he will definitely be a peerless enemy to his Barbarian Clan’s eastward expansion.

“Today, even if this old man pays a certain price, I will suppress and kill you!”

Garrison General Gu Tuo’s Blood Qi was like a sea, his Aura continuously soaring, clearly preparing to detonate his Grotto-heaven in exchange for monstrous combat power.

He wanted to nip any threat to the Barbarian Clan’s eastward expansion in the bud, even if it meant a drop in his Realm.

“Sound the gongs for retreat!”

In the boundless Void Realm, a grand voice suddenly echoed.

Space tore open, and three figures emerged.

It was none other than the North Courtyard Great King, and two other high-level Heaven and Earth Realm experts. Marquis Shenwei also revealed his figure; both sides had imposing Auras, making it impossible to tell who had the upper hand.

“Ah, damn it!”

Garrison General Gu Tuo gritted his teeth, extremely unwilling. If he missed today, it would be very difficult to get another chance to kill this Prodigy.

But he could only obey the commander’s order.

He hoped the Great King had other considerations, otherwise it would be too regrettable.

“Retreat!”

Garrison General Gu Tuo waved his hand.

The other two Heaven and Earth Realm experts swiftly retreated, and the Barbarian army surrounding the border pass also receded like a tide, leaving behind only Barbarian soldier corpses everywhere.

A considerable portion of these were killed by Chu Jiang alone.

“Heaven and Earth Realm experts are truly hard to kill!”

Chu Jiang murmured, the Heaven and Earth Realm is different from other Realms; they have the desperate means of self-detonating their Grotto-heaven. Even if your Realm is higher than your opponent’s, you might not be able to defeat them, unless you also self-detonate your Grotto-heaven.

But such a price is too great, equivalent to destroying one's Foundation. Unless it is a life-and-death feud, one would generally not resort to such a measure.

At this moment, he began to pay attention to the messages on his panel.

“Killed 230,000 Barbarian soldiers of various levels, gaining a total of 60,000 Lifespan.”

“Comfortable!”

Chu Jiang was very satisfied with this result.

After all, ten Vajra Realm experts could only contribute one year of Lifespan.

The demon life essence obtained from killing Barbarian soldiers was certainly far from comparable to killing true Demons. Their demon Bloodline was too thin, not even as good as the pseudo-demons in Ghost Moon Cave.

Just then, a voice rang in his ear.

“Come to the Divine Martial Hall!”

Chu Jiang looked in the direction of the voice; it was Marquis Shenwei.

A moment later.

Inside the Divine Martial Hall.

“You cannot remain at Zhen Gui Pass. Although your killing of the Barbarian Elder today has angered them, the potential you unleashed has instilled even greater fear in the Barbarian Clan. If you appear at the border again, they will spare no expense to kill you, even using their Barbarian Clan’s heritage.”

Ironblood General said, if it was one of their Four Great Garrison Generals who had killed Wanyan Zhenguda.

They would not be so frantic.

But Chu Jiang’s talent was too formidable; at less than thirty years old, he could kill a Heaven and Earth Realm expert. Such a feat had not been seen in Great Chu for thousands of years.

To the Barbarian Clan, it was undoubtedly a huge threat.

Once a great war began, even they could not guarantee Chu Jiang’s safety. It was paramount to get him away from this dangerous place.

“I understand!”

Chu Jiang nodded.

His ability to kill 200,000 Barbarian soldiers and even a Heaven and Earth Realm Elder this time was due to an information gap; no one knew his true combat power.

Now that it was exposed, this advantage was naturally gone. The Barbarian Clan was not foolish; the second time, they would certainly dispatch high-level Heaven and Earth Realm experts to kill him.

“The border pass will fully block the news of you killing a Heaven and Earth Realm expert, to prevent you from being targeted. We’ll hide it for as long as possible.”

“To buy you time to develop!”

“Before you Break through to the Heaven and Earth Realm, try not to expose yourself.”

Ice River Garrison General said solemnly. After all, the killing of a Heaven and Earth Realm expert by such a young person was too outrageous.

If those people behind the scenes found out, they would certainly not be able to sit still.

Especially the Great Chu Eight Great Families and the Three Great Immortal Sects.

“Thank you, Garrison Generals, for the reminder!”

Chu Jiang cupped his hands, then changed the subject:

“I’d like to ask, where in these Western Seven Provinces are there Heaven-Level Demons, or Demon lairs?”

Before breaking through to the Heaven and Earth Realm, besides killing a Barbarian Heaven and Earth Realm expert, he also needed to kill a Heaven-Level Demon.

Now, he had only completed half of it.

“Heaven-Level Demons?”

“Right, as the Yun Province Pacification Commissioner, slaying Demons and eliminating evil is your primary duty…”

Marquis Shenwei fell into contemplation. Half a year ago, Phoenix Mingxi Mountain, a Heaven-Grade Demon Suppression Envoy from the Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division, had just completed a tour of the Western region.

Most of the major Demons that had appeared were already slain.

“Hmm… you can go to Liusha River in Fire Province. It seems there’s a demon that slipped through the net there, recently promoted to Heaven-Level Demon. It’s suitable for you to practice with!”

Marquis Shenwei responded after a moment of thought.

“As for Demon lairs, you can ask the Arid Province Pacification Envoy; she knows the most about this matter!”

He was not in charge of Demon affairs, after all, and only knew some general information. For detailed information, he naturally had to consult the Demon Suppression Division.

The few of them exchanged a few more simple words.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Chu Jiang decisively departed, leaving Zhen Gui Pass and disappearing into the horizon.

Inside the main hall.

“Perhaps this person is the Reincarnation of Demon Quelling Heavenly Venerable, otherwise I don’t believe anyone can kill a Heaven and Earth Realm expert at this age!”

Ancient Thunder Garrison General said.

“No matter who he is, at least he stands on our Great Chu’s side. We should try our best to befriend him. The future of this world might just rest on his shoulders!”

Marquis Shenwei said with a faint smile.

The several Garrison Generals did not refute; Chu Jiang was worthy of that evaluation.
