222: Elder Soul, help me

Amidst the sky-filling flames,

Ji Fanhe's body was torn into several pieces and sent flying.

Even the protective talisman on Ji Fanhe's body couldn't withstand the thunder flame desolate breaking saber in Jiang Chen's hand.

This was the power of a Ninth-Grade Spiritual Artifact.

Jiang Chen was just worried that these people would constantly pull out protective talismans or similar items.

This would obstruct his attacks, forcing him to charge up and strike again.

It wasn't as if he didn't have Sharp Weapons.

"Indeed, even experts need a handy weapon."

Besides the increase in kill value,

the Soul Devouring Ring and the great desolate burning qi cauldron were also continuously devouring vital Qi and Soul power.

The power within the Soul Devouring Ring could be stored for now, ready to be withdrawn at any time.

The great desolate burning qi cauldron, however, was constantly refining the surrounding vital Qi, and even the Body Tempering Qi that the opponent had refined.

But most of these people hadn't mastered Body Tempering Qi.

Their Physical Body cultivation Realm wasn't high enough, so they couldn't store Body Tempering Qi within their bodies.

However, the pure vital Qi absorbed was continuously tempering Jiang Chen's own Physical Body.

Amidst the sky-filling flames,

the Black Eagle formation, which had originally formed a battle array, was also burned through by the flames.

Figures plummeted from the high sky,

like fireballs, smashing into the mountain range.

Explosions of fire burst forth.

With a thought, Jiang Chen absorbed all of their Storage Rings.

"Tsk tsk, using a Firefly Realm Divine Soul to collect Storage Rings is quite proficient," Jiang Chen chuckled.

But there was nothing wrong with that.

Jiang Chen hadn't encountered many people who were truly strong in the Divine Soul Realm yet.

On the other hand, the Advanced demonic beast with a Royal Bloodline from last time did possess some Divine Soul techniques.

However, no matter how strong you are, it's useless; you still can't withstand the power of the Yin Yang Life and Death Mirror.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Feng Aotian and the others, who were rushing up from below, saw Ji Fanhe and his group all turn into fireballs.

They couldn't help but feel a slight surprise in their hearts.

Feng Aotian was well aware of the strength of Ji Fanhe and his group.

If he were to face them alone, there would be considerable danger.

However, that was in the past.

In Feng Aotian's heart, he had never truly regarded Ji Fanhe.

If Ji Fanhe didn't have a Grand Elder for a grandfather, how could he compete with him?

Of course, among the three Grand Elders, one was also Feng Aotian's grandfather.

But Feng Aotian simply believed that the other party was not on his level.

Now, seeing Ji Fanhe killed, Feng Aotian didn't show much emotional fluctuation.

At this moment, he led his group, riding their Blood Wolves, to the top of a mountain peak.

"You are Jiang Chen?"

"This Lord is the Saint of Fenglan Sword Sect, Feng Aotian."

"Jiang Chen, this Saint now gives you an Opportunity: submit to me."

"As long as you are willing to serve me, I can guarantee your life is safe."

Feng Aotian, riding a Blood Wolf, stood atop the mountains.

Behind him was a group of subordinates also riding Blood Wolves, all silently staring at Jiang Chen,

waiting only for Feng Aotian's command.

Even though Ji Fanhe and his group had just died so effortlessly before them,

they weren't surprised in the slightest.

One could even say that they simply didn't care about the lives of these people.

If they were killed, then so be it.

They had never truly valued the lives of these so-called fellow disciples.

"Submit to you?"

Jiang Chen looked at Feng Aotian.

He couldn't help but let out a disdainful laugh.

"With your hidden Heavenly Martial Realm first-layer strength?

"With just this much strength, don't hide it, it's not embarrassing."

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly.

He exposed Feng Aotian's proud capital with a single sentence.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the smile on Feng Aotian's face instantly vanished.

His eyes also showed surprise.

How could he know!?

No one had ever known about his Breakthrough to the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Not even his father knew.

This was because he possessed his own secret!

It was precisely because of this hidden power that he had absolute confidence.

Such a young Heavenly Martial Realm expert

was rare in the entire Lingcang Domain!

What was a mere Great Lan Dynasty, Fenglan Sword Sect?

His ambition was not just the small Fenglan Sword Sect.

It was the entire Lingcang Domain!

He wanted to become the King of the entire Lingcang Domain!

However,

he never expected that despite hiding so deeply, he was still discovered by Jiang Chen.

Or perhaps, Jiang Chen just said it randomly?

Thinking of this, he felt that it wasn't impossible.

At least, Jiang Chen couldn't see his deeper hidden power.

"Hmm?"

Just as Feng Aotian's expression changed slightly, Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the ring in Feng Aotian's hand.

Within that ring, Jiang Chen clearly sensed a very powerful Soul fluctuation; although it was only a momentary leakage, Jiang Chen still captured it.

"So there's an Old Soul in the ring, no wonder he's so confident."

"In that case, I can't let you live!"

Jiang Chen's heart slightly trembled.

Although he, Jiang Chen, had the martial arts scroll, he couldn't rule out that others didn't have their own Opportunity.

Clearly, Feng Aotian was one of those who had an Opportunity.

If they hadn't encountered each other now, who knows what Feng Aotian would grow into in the future, so he had to seize the Opportunity to kill him.

As Jiang Chen's voice fell, he raised his hand and struck with his saber.

Boom!

A several-hundred-zhang saber glow descended from the sky.

Jiang Chen's own Spiritual Qi cultivation was also at the Heavenly Martial Realm first-layer.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Essence stirred by the saber glow was like tens of millions of tons of giant rocks, descending from the sky with immense power.

Although Feng Aotian didn't know how Jiang Chen knew his strength,

his previous method of probing had informed him of Jiang Chen's approximate strength.

His Spiritual Qi cultivation level was only at the Heavenly Martial Realm first-layer.

As for Jiang Chen's Divine Soul fluctuation, it was indeed relatively strong, reaching the Firefly Realm Late Stage.

But to Feng Aotian, this was nothing.

After all, his Divine Soul cultivation had also reached the Firefly Realm; even if he was not as high in Realm as Jiang Chen,

it wouldn't be a problem for the two sides to contend for a while.

"Heh heh, Heavenly Martial Realm first-layer?"

"Then you underestimate me too much."

Feng Aotian's lips curled into a cold smile.

As Jiang Chen made his move,

Feng Aotian also stopped hiding his strength.

At this moment, Feng Aotian also activated his Cultivation Technique.

Boom!

Feng Aotian's body seemed to have a Spiritual Qi vortex.

The Blood Wolf cavalry behind Feng Aotian also activated their Cultivation Techniques, pouring their strength into Feng Aotian's body.

Clang!

Feng Aotian drew his sword.

He also slashed a Sword Qi towards Jiang Chen's saber glow.

Boom!

The Sword Qi transformed into a flowing vortex, and in an instant, it completely devoured the several-hundred-zhang saber glow!

Wind Devouring Sword Art!

"Old Soul, help me!"
