268: Spiritual Shattering

Fifteen Blood Kill Guards of the Martial King Realm, along with their respective mounts.

The blood mist that instantly exploded covered the sky above the imperial palace like the most brilliant and grand fireworks.

It was like blood-colored fireworks blooming.

A figure slowly emerged from within the erupting blood mist.

Given the speed that had just erupted...

Even after crashing through these people, the figure should have shot out hundreds of miles like a sharp arrow.

However, this person's body seemed to have come to an instantaneous halt.

Patter.

A few drops of blood fell in front of Ye Duling.

When Ye Duling saw this sudden scene, her dark, deep eyes flickered with a slight touch of emotion.

That figure walking out of the blood mist...

Is it him?

Before Jiang Chen made his move, Ye Duling's plan was to use all her power to block this disaster for him. Given Jiang Chen's character, if she were gone, he would surely take care of the Great Lan Dynasty in the future for the sake of this event.

She hadn't even wanted Jiang Chen to appear here.

Because she didn't know how far Jiang Chen's cultivation had progressed, and the opponent was an Elder of the Zhao Family after all.

A Peak expert of the seventh layer of the Martial King Realm.

She believed that as long as Jiang Chen was given time, he could grow into an existence that could make the entire Zhao Family tremble!

What Jiang Chen lacked was simply time.

But at this moment, Ye Duling saw the manner in which Jiang Chen took action.

Although most of these Blood Kill Guards were around the second layer of the Martial King Realm, being able to kill them all in an instant was enough to prove Jiang Chen's great strength.

If she joined forces with Jiang Chen, they might be able to take down the Zhao Family in one go.

Regarding the Zhao Family's actions today...

Ye Duling had already sent someone to report to the Domain Lord of the Lingcang Domain.

Although the Four Great Families were the most powerful forces within the Lingcang Domain...

The Domain Lord of the Lingcang Domain was the true overlord of the entire domain.

He himself was a true Martial Emperor Realm expert.

Of course, whether this matter could reach the Domain Lord was another question.

But it was better than having no hope at all.

If the Domain Lord knew about this, he would certainly intervene.

After all, there were many forces similar to the Great Lan Dynasty throughout the Lingcang Domain.

If the Zhao Family set a precedent this time...

Then the entire Lingcang Domain would once again fall into strife and the fires of war.

Before the Demons even emerged to destroy the world, the internal strife within the Human Race would have already wiped them out.

For a moment, a surging fighting spirit ignited in Ye Duling's eyes.

Jiang Chen raised his hand with a beckoning motion.

He released the Body Forging Azure Flame, sweeping the blood mist that filled the sky into the great desolate burning qi cauldron.

Immediately after, the great desolate burning qi cauldron refined all of this blood energy.

This allowed Jiang Chen's own Physical Body cultivation to experience a slight growth.

"I killed your son."

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Although Jiang Chen hadn't arrived yet, he had heard the conversation between Zhao Chongyang and Ye Duling clearly.

After all, while many things had just happened, not much time had actually passed.

At this moment, Jiang Chen stood facing Zhao Chongyang on an even level, the distance between them less than a hundred zhang.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhao Chongyang suddenly snapped out of his shock.

The Blood Kill Guards he brought were all dead!?

These were elites nurtured by the Family.

Fifteen of them died all at once!

However, the thing that shocked Zhao Chongyang the most was not the death of these Blood Kill Guards.

It was that he actually failed to react when Jiang Chen made his move.

This was the most terrifying part.

One must know that Zhao Chongyang's strength was at the seventh layer of the Martial King Realm.

At this moment, he had even released his Spiritual Manifestation.

It should be his strongest state in all aspects.

Yet even so, Zhao Chongyang hadn't detected Jiang Chen's offensive.

He had watched helplessly as all the Blood Kill Guards were blasted to death.

Even when the last person's flesh exploded...

He only barely managed to see Jiang Chen's movements clearly.

And that was mostly because Jiang Chen had stopped.

This was what he was most wary of.

What kind of strength did the Jiang Chen before him possess?

This tiny Great Lan Dynasty had actually produced such a top-tier expert!

But no matter how wary he was of Jiang Chen...

At this moment, hearing Jiang Chen's contemptuous, provocative question...

Zhao Chongyang could not endure it.

The person before him was the murderer who killed his son!

Not only that, he was arrogantly clamoring here, facing him.

It was almost like he was pointing at his head and cursing!

At a time like this, even if Zhao Chongyang were a turtle, he wouldn't be able to bear it.

What's more, he was the grand Second Elder of the Zhao Family!

A man of high status who wielded great power.

No matter how strong you are, I, Zhao Chongyang, have the ability to take you down.

"Since you killed my son..."

"Then you can go down and be buried with him!"

Zhao Chongyang let out a low growl.

At the same time.

Zhao Chongyang also activated his Spiritual Manifestation.

In an instant, that seventeen-zhang-tall Spiritual Manifestation, the Two-headed Lion, erupted with an extremely fierce Aura.

"Boom!"

The Two-headed Lion roared towards the sky.

Simultaneously, it marshaled a terrifying majesty and charged towards Jiang Chen's direction.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Ye Duling cried out inwardly, while also thinking of stepping in to help Jiang Chen.

But just as she began to circulate her power, Ye Duling felt a sharp pain in her internal organs.

"It's poison!"

A sharp light flashed in Ye Duling's eyes.

She shouted towards Jiang Chen's direction.

"Jiang Chen, be careful! His Spiritual Manifestation possesses lethal poison!"

Hearing Ye Duling's warning, the corners of Zhao Chongyang's mouth curled up slightly.

Realizing it only now?

Too late!

His Two-headed Lion looked powerful and overbearing, but in reality, the Divine Abilities attached to the Spiritual Manifestation were all genuine lethal poisons that could poison and devour another's Spiritual Manifestation.

And this power also came from Demons!

Jiang Chen saw the Two-headed Lion charging towards him.

He unhurriedly released his own Spiritual Manifestation.

Boom!

A twenty-zhang-tall Spiritual Manifestation true body emerged.

Although it seemed only slightly taller, when Jiang Chen's Spiritual Manifestation true body reached out...

Its heavy, large hand directly crushed one of the Two-headed Lion's heads on the spot.

Bang!

After the head exploded, a massive amount of Heaven and Earth energy dissipated at that moment.

In an instant, Zhao Chongyang felt as if he had suffered a massive impact.

"Pfft!"

Zhao Chongyang directly spat out a mouthful of blood.

But at this moment, he saw that Jiang Chen's Spiritual Manifestation true body had already grabbed the body of his Two-headed Lion.

"No... don't..."

Zhao Chongyang cried out in alarm.

In the next moment, the body of the Two-headed Lion was forcibly torn into two halves.

The Spiritual Manifestation was shattered!
