88: Defeat two grandmasters in a row

The terrifying golden greatsword almost instantly materialized. Under the enhancement of the Vast Righteousness Field, its power greatly increased, slashing fiercely towards Chu Jiang.

Rumble!

Chu Jiang’s Physical Body suddenly expanded, enveloped by the power of thunder. The Blood Sun Saber in his hand seemed to transform into a world-destroying thunder saber, capable of destroying everything.

Blood Blade Divine Manual, Ninth Form — Blood Soaring Nine Heavens!

Bang!

The Blood Qi power on Chu Jiang’s body began to rapidly surge. The Blood Qi of everyone present was affected and rioted by Chu Jiang’s astonishing Blood Qi power.

His Aura was magnificent, rising in a straight line.

Blood Blade Divine Manual, Eighth Form — Seven Blood Fiend Exterminations!

Endless Blood Qi condensed into a Blood Fiend Saber. The terrifying Evil Qi almost dyed the entire sky red, as if a Devil King was performing a sacrifice.

“Slash!”

Chu Jiang roared, and the heavens and earth changed color.

The Blood Fiend Saber severed bodies, severed souls, and extinguished life force. This strike directly broke through the Vast Righteousness Field and collided with Li Haoran’s golden greatsword with a thunderous crash.

An earth-shattering explosion echoed through the sky.

A terrifying energy storm, centered on their battlefield, swept wildly in all directions.

Dozens of large trees were snapped in half, and rocks flew everywhere, turning into dust as they entered the energy storm.

Whether it was the Demon Suppression Guard or the Sword King Sect members, they had already moved far away.

This energy tide.

Not to mention the Innate Realm, even a Vajra Realm expert caught in it would surely die.

“Old Sect Leader is truly mighty!”

“With this strike, let’s see how Chu Jiang blocks it!”

The Sword King Sect Elders’ eyes burned with fervor. The Old Sect Leader’s desperate strike.

Such terrifying might.

Below the Great Grandmaster.

Who could block it?

Wang Chao’s gaze was constantly fixed on the battlefield. He had no doubt about Commander Chu’s strength and whether he could match the Sword King Sect’s number one Genius in the past century.

Are you kidding me?

Chu Jiang was a Class A Genius of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, a talent that appeared once every few centuries.

Such individuals were as rare as Phoenix feathers in the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

In contrast, although Li Haoran’s talent was indeed extraordinary, among his generation.

No one in Dahe Prefecture surpassed him.

But after all, it was only a single prefecture, while the Demon Suppression Division’s standard for selecting Geniuses.

Was the entire Great Chu Dynasty.

How could the two be compared?

In his opinion, it was absolutely impossible for Commander Chu to lose. Even if Li Haoran had a Realm advantage, he was no match for him, and the possibility of a draw was extremely low.

Most of the Demon Suppression Guards present shared this thought. They knew best the value of a Class A Genius; even a Class B Genius could dominate Yun Province for an era.

Commander Zuo was an example.

Chichichichi…

Huge explosions sounded around Chu Jiang, but most of the Saber Qi was offset by the True Astral Heavenly Thunder Body’s inherent thunder power the moment it entered his Physical Body.

“Your strength is indeed extraordinary.” Chu Jiang stepped out of the explosion, his Aura undiminished. He walked step by step towards Li Haoran, a colossal pressure hanging in the air.

Li Haoran’s lips were bleeding.

The Sword King Body radiated divine light, struggling to resist this pressure.

“I have not lost yet!” Li Haoran’s eyes flashed with a faint light, and he roared, “I haven’t lost!!!”

He knew deeply that once he lost.

The Sword King Sect, with its three-hundred-year Legacy, would be destroyed in his hands.

He could not accept it.

“Sword King Body, Human-Sword Unity, Disintegration Art!”

His entire being became ethereal, transparent and flawless, transforming into a peerless sharp sword.

His entire Aura soared, reaching the Peak of the Grandmaster Realm.

“Old Sect Leader!”

The Sword King Sect Elders cried out in sorrow.

This was a move only available when the Sword King Body was Cultivated to the Transcendent Realm, a life-risking technique.

By disintegrating the Sword King Body, the decades of Cultivation of the Body were completely burned away, achieving Human-Sword Unity, unleashing unprecedented power.

Once this move was performed, the Old Sect Leader’s decades of Cultivation in the Sword King Body would be for naught, and his Realm would also drop significantly.

At this very moment.

A mysterious Grandmaster suddenly burst out from the ground, enveloped in black mist, his true face unclear. He launched a sneak attack in an instant.

Chichi chichi…

A series of sharp, piercing sounds came, as seven or eight streaks of crimson light, like lightning, attacked Chu Jiang’s Physical Body.

“Are these the Old Sect Leader’s reinforcements?”

The Elders were overjoyed. With two Grandmasters attacking simultaneously, how could Chu Jiang resist?

“Heavenwood Divine Needle, Break!”

The mysterious Grandmaster let out a cold shout, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. The Heavenwood Divine Needle was a rare treasure that could break a Grandmaster’s True Qi.

“Sect Master Li, once the Heavenwood Divine Needle breaks his True Qi, kill him immediately!”

“Thank you, Your Excellency, for your assistance. This Sect Master will greatly reward Your Excellency later.”

Immediately after, Li Haoran’s eyes turned cold.

“Today is your death day!” He roared, his body transforming into a peerless sharp sword, streaking across the sky, directly attacking Chu Jiang.

However, Chu Jiang showed no panic; instead, he sneered, “Hmph, you emerged so quickly. You really can’t hold your temper.”

He had long sensed a faint, indistinct Aura nearby, but he wasn’t sure of its exact location. It was likely that the other party had some special treasure that concealed his Aura.

His prolonged entanglement with Li Haoran was precisely to draw out this person.

Otherwise, he would have dealt with him with a single move long ago.

“Today, you will surely die!”

The mysterious Grandmaster snorted coldly. His original plan was to wait for Chu Jiang and Li Haoran to be mutually wounded, then he would step in to eliminate Chu Jiang.

He didn’t expect Chu Jiang’s strength to be too great.

Li Haoran, despite his full effort, only managed to break a little skin and draw a few drops of blood from him.

Only by combining their forces now, while Li Haoran still had the strength to fight, was it possible to kill him.

Otherwise.

Once Li Haoran lost the strength to fight, it would be almost impossible for him to kill Chu Jiang alone.

The next moment.

Chu Jiang’s Divine Thunder True Essence surged. The Heavenwood Divine Needle, embedded in Chu Jiang’s Physical Body, was forcefully jammed, and the Divine Thunder from his True Essence Sea instantly swept through his entire body.

The Heavenwood Divine Needle was snapped in half by brute force.

He reached out and grasped the half of the Heavenwood Divine Needle stuck in his body, gently pulling it out.

“A pearl of millet, daring to shine!” Chu Jiang casually waved his hand, and the half of the Heavenwood Divine Needle shot towards the mysterious Grandmaster like lightning.

The mysterious Grandmaster was greatly alarmed, but it was too late to dodge.

Pfft!

The Heavenwood Divine Needle directly pierced his True Essence Sea. The powerful force carried his body flying dozens of meters backward, where he heavily crashed to the ground.

He never got up again.

Chu Jiang had thought the Grandmaster hidden in the dark was a Grandmaster at the Peak.

He didn’t expect.

It was only a Grandmaster at the Middle Stage. If not for relying on the Heavenwood Divine Needle.

Even Li Haoran could have killed him with a single palm strike.

Chu Jiang looked at the peerless sharp sword in the sky; it seemed to lock onto him, making evasion impossible. This Sword King Body Disintegration Art had some tricks to it.

He saw.

The Blood Sun Saber floated in the air.

Boom!

Glorious, glorious, glorious!

One of the four ultimate killing moves of the Netherworld Blood God Manual, Blood Sun Soaring.

Between heaven and earth, a glorious great sun suddenly appeared, a blazing sun saber, cleaving down from the sky. The air was compressed, emitting a piercing, explosive sound.

The sky above the Sword King Sect seemed to be split in half by this saber, an extremely terrifying sight.

The peerless sharp sword that Li Haoran had transformed into was struck by this glorious great sun saber, instantly shattering into dust. Its momentum undiminished, it fell into the Sword King Sect.

Splitting the Sword King Sect’s main gate, along with a hall behind it, into two halves.

The residual Saber Qi annihilated several Vajra Realm Elders and dozens of Sword King Sect Disciples, leaving no bones behind.

Li Haoran’s body fell from the sky, crashing heavily into the ground.
