409: A little trick, but I dare to show off my skills in front of an expert, a pleasant surprise

Whoosh!

The Mysterious Shadow, wielding the broken cauldron, quickly fled after enduring Chu Jiang's Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist. Its speed was astonishing.

"Kill!"

Chu Jiang roared, holding the ancient battle spear like a barbaric War God, fighting fiercely and pursuing again.

Each strike caused his Qi and blood to churn, suffering a huge backlash.

Boom!

The Mysterious Shadow's Physical Body emitted a green glow, and its injuries recovered almost instantly. Its vitality was immense.

Streaks of Heaven and Earth Qi winds attacked Chu Jiang, their offensive arriving in an instant.

Chu Jiang forcefully tore through the Qi winds, a single person with a single spear, pursuing and slaying the Mysterious Shadow.

The broken cauldron vibrated violently again, emitting a metallic tremor that made him spit blood.

The Mysterious Shadow was startled, but he was not an ordinary opponent. The green glow on his body once again healed his injuries, while simultaneously condensing dozens of layers of sky curtains.

"Demon-Suppressing Divine Fist!"

Chu Jiang's expression was cold, still relying on his overwhelmingly powerful Physical Body. The golden fist print shattered more than a dozen sky curtains with a single punch, as if pieces of Heaven and Earth were crumbling.

Clang!

Overlords Supreme Blade.

The Three Heaven-Shattering Blades erupted again.

Like three rays of light that split Heaven and Earth, they tore through layers of sky curtains.

Boom!

The Three Heaven-Shattering Blades struck the broken cauldron, severely injuring the Mysterious Shadow once more.

Crack!

Half of his hand bones were broken, and his ribs in his chest were deeply caved in, twisted and deformed.

However, the green glow, like an endless spring of life, restored his vitality, making him difficult to destroy.

"Hurry up and go!"

The Mysterious Shadow suddenly shouted into a certain Void Realm, his expression slightly anxious.

As soon as his voice fell.

A white fox light shot out from the Void Realm.

The newcomer was like an ice-cold beauty, yet carried an extreme allure.

This person should be the master of Qingqiu Mountain, Fox Fairy Niangniang.

No wonder one of the three great Demon forces' masters was missing.

Swish!

Fox Fairy Niangniang's expression turned cold. Her nine tails swept out, and a powerful mental attack instantly formed a confined space, enveloping Chu Jiang. Countless illusions surged towards him, with countless exquisite beauties, naked, surrounding him, disturbing his mind.

"Such petty tricks dare to show off in front of me!"

"Profound Ice Dragon Soar!"

Chu Jiang roared coldly. An ice Dragon that shook the world broke through the confined space. The Void Realm froze in pieces, and the illusions shattered with a bang.

"Roar—"

The Profound Ice Dragon Soar let out a Dragon's roar, shattering the endless Void Realm.

Chu Jiang stepped on the ice Dragon, holding the ancient battle spear, majestic and heroic, like an ancient Ice Emperor reborn, pursuing the Mysterious Shadow and Fox Fairy Niangniang.

"Kill!"

The Vatican Divine Power on Chu Jiang erupted, and the terrifying power of Heaven and Earth distorted the Void Realm in front of the two to the extreme.

Puff!

The two's bodies were torn apart, immediately suffering heavy injuries, bleeding profusely.

Whoosh!

The ancient battle spear pierced through the Void Realm, directly striking Fox Fairy Niangniang.

Boom!

With another loud bang, the Void Realm was blasted open, and Fox Fairy Niangniang bled like rain.

"Wind and thunder move, clouds and lightning flash, open the way with the cauldron, as swift as a meteor. Above the Nine Heavens, travel boundlessly, as urgent as a decree!"

"Flee!"

The Mysterious Shadow let out a hoarse growl. The broken cauldron erupted with the power of wind and thunder, tearing through the Vatican Divine Power's restraints, and, carrying the heavily injured Fox Fairy Niangniang, disappeared into Heaven and Earth with the broken cauldron.

The ancient battle spear's second strike landed in the endless nothingness.

Chu Jiang stepped on the ice Dragon, his body covered in a golden glow, and the flying battle spear returned to his hand.

"Who exactly is this mysterious person?"

Chu Jiang frowned. This person's strength was definitely in the top fifteen of the Heaven-Grade ranking, or even among the top ten.

This exaggerated recovery ability was comparable to the Azure Wood Emperor Skill.

But it was not like the Azure Wood Emperor Skill.

It was indeed a bit difficult to kill him.

The ice Dragon beneath Chu Jiang's feet then dissipated.

Just at this moment.

A crack opened in the Void Realm.

A phantom figure quickly stepped out from it, and upon seeing Chu Jiang's figure, breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Zu Cang.

"Greetings, Chief!"

Chu Jiang regained his composure, saw the newcomer, and spoke.

"Chu Jiang, I'm relieved to see that you're fine."

Zu Cang said solemnly. These Demons had resorted to all means to kill Chu Jiang, preparing extremely thoroughly.

This Fox Fairy Niangniang was decisive. The Ding Tianzhu, as a top-grade Magic Treasure, would be a sect-protecting treasure in any force, capable of being passed down for thousands of years to suppress its foundation.

She said she would self-detonate, and she did, directly severely injuring his Clone.

Zu Cang asked, "Those Demons who surrounded and killed you just now?"

Chu Jiang: "I basically killed them all, but unfortunately, two got away!"

Zu Cang: "..."

Good heavens.

Chu Jiang's growth was too astonishing. Not long after leaving the Imperial Capital, he already possessed the combat power of a top twenty Heaven-Grade expert.

Just now, he had a big battle with Fox Fairy Niangniang, and from her, he learned that this time, in order to kill Chu Jiang, they had used an ancient killing array and five or more Heaven-Grade combat powers.

Yet Chu Jiang almost broke through them.

Compared to himself, he felt like he had lived a dog's life.

He had Cultivated for a thousand years to achieve such results.

Chu Jiang, strictly speaking, only took one year.

This guy was even more abnormal than Yuan Siming.

"My Clone is about to dissipate, and I can no longer protect you... Uh, I guess you don't need anyone to protect you now."

Zu Cang sighed. With Chu Jiang's current strength, there might still be people he couldn't contend with, but it was almost impossible to kill him.

He had completely grown up, becoming a towering tree.

"Thank you, Chief, for your protection!"

Chu Jiang said softly, bowing slightly. He also understood that this was the Demon Suppression Division's goodwill. As the next successor of the Demon Suppression Division, the higher-ups sent people to protect him to prevent accidents.

Whether it was him or someone else, anyone with the potential to advance to the Rongtian Stage would have this protection mechanism.

The two talked for a while longer, and Zu Cang's Clone completely dissipated.

...

Soon.

A sense of weakness spontaneously arose.

"Is this the side effect of the True King Transformation?"

Chu Jiang said solemnly.

In fact, Heaven-Grade powerhouses, especially those at the top, were extremely difficult to kill. If Chu Jiang hadn't had the Azure Emperor Dharma Form and used the True King Transformation, his combat power would have soared geometrically.

It would have been quite difficult to kill Demon Kings like the Silver Flood Dragon Great King.

Whoosh!

Chu Jiang used the Phaseless Void of the Formless Demon Subduing Body, hiding in the boundless Void Realm, and began to recover from this feeling of exhaustion.

While he was at it, he tallied his gains from this time.

First, naturally, was the Formation Plate of the ancient killing array—the Nine Heavens Refining God Great Array. Its power was immense, and he had already experienced it.

However, this Formation Plate was incomplete and required a large number of formation setters to compensate for its incompleteness before it could unleash its full power.

He would keep it; it might be of great use in the future.

Second, naturally, were a large number of Demon corpses. There were over fifty Heaven-Level Demon corpses, and the corpses of several great Demon lords, totaling over three hundred True Demons.

These were all abundant Cultivation resources.

Third, naturally, was this ancient battle spear.

He hadn't had time to examine it closely during the battle.

At this moment, Chu Jiang took out the green battle spear and carefully examined it.

The battle spear was covered in rust, but its might was extremely strong, no less than the Tai Zu Golden Saber.

He cast a detection spell.

【Heaven Splitting Spear, a weapon used by gods in the ancient War of the Gods. It has now lost its divinity, and its power is less than one-tenth of what it once was, comparable to a top-grade Magic Treasure.】

(Note: The Heaven Splitting Spear contains a set of ten spear techniques within its internal space. When used together, their power is greatly increased. The stronger the Soul used to perceive it, the greater the probability of acquiring it.)

"Holy cow, there's an unexpected bonus!"
