73: Chapter 73: A Perfect Ending

"Let's dismantle them together."

Jiang Xun's nonchalant voice, transmitted through the amplification magic array, clearly reached every corner inside and outside the arena.

That was neither a discussion nor a provocation, but an unquestionable verdict.

As soon as these words were spoken, the bodies of Jiangnans First Shield, who was fleeing frantically, and Ghost Shadow, who was about to merge into the shadows, stiffened simultaneously.

A chill, a hundred times more intense than when Li Ang had died just moments ago, shot straight from the base of their spines to their scalps!

What was he trying to do?

Did he actually want to hunt down two enemies in different directions at the same time?!

"A madman! He is a total lunatic!"

Jiangnans First Shield's composure completely collapsed. He no longer cared about the dignity of a Prodigy. His Divine Kingdom power burned wildly as he transformed into a streak of earthy-yellow light, diving directly into the ground and rushing toward the edge of the illusion at an astonishing speed.

As long as he escaped this illusion, he would survive!

On the other side, Ghost Shadow's movements were even more eerie.

His body was like a melting candle, slowly merging into the shadow on the ground, his presence becoming ethereal at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he were about to vanish from this world entirely.

This was the strongest life-saving divine technique of their A-Rank Shadow Civilization—Shadow Evasion!

Once completed, unless a God King descended, no one would be able to find him!

Seeing this scene, the audience outside the arena felt their hearts hang in suspense once again.

"One is burrowing into the ground, the other is evading into shadows; how is he supposed to chase them?"

"No matter how strong Jiang Xun is, he is only one person. Surely he can't be in two places at once?"

Only Lame Zhang, watching Jiang Xun's calm face on the screen, had a flash of sharp light pass through his murky eyes.

"Can't be in two places at once? No, for this kid, this is called catching them all in one net."

Inside the illusion.

Facing the two enemies who were about to vanish from his perception, Jiang Xun stood still, not even bothering to move.

He merely raised his hand.

He made a grasping motion in the air toward the direction where Jiangnans First Shield was fleeing.

"Want to play with Earth Evasion?"

"Did you ask for anyone's permission?"

With his words, the A-Rank "Water Kingdom" Civilization that he had just plundered truly bared its fangs for the first time!

Boom!

The entire swamp forest ground began to shake violently.

Beneath the surface, it felt as if thousands of Dragons were rolling about.

That was the endless underground water veins, forcibly mobilized by Jiang Xun, hidden beneath the earth!

Jiangnans First Shield, who was frantically traveling deep underground, suddenly felt the pressure around him change.

The hard soil was becoming muddy, slippery, and viscous at an incredible speed!

His proud Earth Evasion divine technique, at this moment, was like a car that had fallen into a cement mixer; his speed plummeted, and he could barely move an inch!

"No! What is this?! My Earth Elemental power... has been neutralized!"

Jiangnans First Shield let out a terrified roar.

He wanted to rush out, but from all directions came endless underground water, mixing with mud and sand to form an underground swamp capable of swallowing everything, trapping him tightly within.

He watched helplessly as the darkness and mud enveloped him from all sides, drowning his nose and mouth, pouring into his Divine Kingdom...

Gurgle... Gurgle...

On the screen, the light spot representing Jiangnans First Shield struggled and flickered frantically for a few seconds before dimming.

Another one!

The entire arena was deathly silent.

If the previous kills had relied on brute force.

Then this time, it was a complete Law suppression!

Using a civilization just snatched from someone else's hands to counter another long-renowned Prodigy.

This kind of maneuver had already exceeded the limits of everyone's imagination.

After dealing with Jiangnans First Shield, Jiang Xun finally turned his head slowly to look at the place where Ghost Shadow had disappeared.

There, only a faint trace of the shadow remained.

"It's your turn."

Jiang Xun said softly.

The shadow, which was about to vanish, trembled violently.

The next second, a thought filled with malice and determination erupted suddenly from the shadow!

"You forced me to do this! Let's go to Hell together! Forbidden Technique—Divine Soul Wither!"

Hum—

An invisible, intangible, yet terrifyingly extreme ripple spread out instantly.

That was not an energy attack, nor was it a physical attack.

It was a vicious curse directly targeting the deity's Soul Origin!

Outside the arena, all deities, regardless of their Rank, felt at that moment as if their Souls had been fiercely pricked by a needle, sending a bone-chilling cold through them.

And Jiang Xun, as the center of the attack, saw the light in the space he occupied distort.

The expression on his face also froze for the first time.

"Did it hit?!"

In the VIP room, Deputy Director Qian An suddenly stood up from his seat, staring fixedly at the screen, a final glimmer of hope erupting in his eyes.

This was a Divine Soul attack! It was the nightmare of all deities!

Even if he didn't die, his Divine Soul would definitely be severely damaged, turning him into an idiot!

However, the hope in his eyes soon turned into an even deeper despair.

Jiang Xun, after freezing for less than a second, actually... frowned.

He looked like someone tasting a dish that didn't taste very good, a look of distaste appearing on his face.

"Is this the A-Rank Civilization's Soul forbidden technique?"

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

"The taste is not bad, but the amount is too small; it's not enough to eat."

Boom!

This sentence, like a mental bomb, exploded in everyone's mind!

Not enough to eat?!

He treated a Soul forbidden technique capable of causing Gold Rank deities to fall on the spot as an appetizer?!

"No... impossible... My Divine Soul Wither... how could you..."

From the shadow that was about to vanish came Ghost Shadow's broken, incredulous scream.

He could feel that the Divine Soul attack he had unleashed was like a clay ox entering the sea; not only did it fail to harm the opponent in the slightest, but it was instead swallowed by an even more terrifying, more domineering vortex!

He could even feel that the opponent's Soul, after devouring his attack, had even let out a... satisfied burp?

"As a return gift."

Jiang Xun's eyes became icy.

"Let you taste the feeling of having your Soul torn apart too."

He extended a finger and tapped lightly toward that shadow.

There were no earth-shattering sound or light effects.

But Ghost Shadow let out a scream a hundred times more miserable than anyone before!

"Ah—!"

That shadow, like a rag torn by invisible hands, shattered inch by inch, finally dissipating completely into the air.

[Detected enemy deity's Divine Soul completely destroyed!]

[SSS-rank Talent "Civilization Plunder" activated!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully plundered the A-Rank Civilization 'Shadow Kingdom'!]

The light spot representing Ghost Shadow extinguished completely.

Thus.

The "Alliance of Siege", four top Prodigies of A-Rank Civilizations, in less than half an hour since the semi-finals began.

Were wiped out!

In the entire illusion, only Jiang Xun remained, standing quietly in the center of the devastation.

He looked down at his hand, as if he had just completed a trivial task.

This "siege", arranged personally by the Deputy Director of the Jiangnan Province Deity Administration Bureau, gathering four top Prodigies, utilizing war-grade combined divine techniques, and hailed as a certain-death trap.

Finally, ended with an inconceivable one-versus-four reverse slaughter.

The entire arena was deathly silent.

You could hear a pin drop.
