Chapter 234: Heavy Casualties, Specialist in Sneak Attacks

"Ice Clan Secret Technique—Extreme Cold Escape!"

Ying Wu Dao bit the tip of his tongue and spat out thirty percent of his Essence Blood.

The Essence Blood transformed into an ice-blue rune in the air, instantly enveloping Ying Wu Dao.

In the next second, Ying Wu Dao turned into a beam of icy light and rushed out of the cave.

This was the life-saving secret technique of the Ice Clan; by burning thirty percent of one's Essence Blood, one could instantly escape ten thousand miles.

But the price was too high.

Thirty percent of Essence Blood was enough to cause Ying Wu Dao's cultivation to drop, requiring at least several decades to recover.

"Trying to escape?"

The Black Scale Demon Ape snorted coldly and reached out to grab.

A giant palm condensed from gravity swept across the sky to grab the icy light.

But the speed of the icy light was too fast, instantly rushing out of the cave and disappearing into the mist of the Burial God Ridge.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky to have run fast."

In the cave outside the teleportation array of the Demon Ape's nest.

The teleportation array flashed, and Jiang Tianheng's figure appeared.

"Finally out!"

Jiang Tianheng panted heavily, his face pale. The Dao Wound in his body was still surging, and his whole body was trembling.

"That old thing Ying Wu Dao should have been torn to pieces by the Black Scale Demon Ape by now, right?"

A cold sneer curled on Jiang Tianheng's lips. Although the losses were heavy, at least he had saved his life. Moreover, with Ying Wu Dao dead, no one would know what happened in the Burial God Ridge.

The Ice Clan had lost a Great Emperor out of thin air; as one side weakened, the other grew stronger, invisibly enhancing the Flame Clan's strength.

"No, to be safe, I must destroy the teleportation array."

Jiang Tianheng turned around, a ball of flame condensing in his hand.

He couldn't let Ying Wu Dao escape.

In case that old thing survived by luck and teleported out, he would be in danger.

"Flame Burst Palm!"

Jiang Tianheng struck the teleportation array with a palm.

The teleportation array instantly shattered into countless pieces.

"It's safe now."

Jiang Tianheng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave—

A strange sensation suddenly came from beneath his feet.

He looked down, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

On the ground, dozens of Spiritual Artifacts were densely arranged!

And they were all Saint Rank!

From Saint Rank Low Grade to Saint Rank Top-Grade Spiritual Artifacts, they were all there.

"Not good!"

Jiang Tianheng realized something and wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

Zhou Chen had long been hiding in the shadows, forming a hand seal.

"Explode!"

Dozens of Saint Rank Spiritual Artifacts detonated simultaneously.

Terrifying energy instantly swallowed the entire cave, and Jiang Tianheng was completely submerged in the center of the explosion.

If someone saw this, they would surely call Zhou Chen a spendthrift; so many Spiritual Artifacts were enough to arm a small Sect.

Flames soared into the sky, the entire cave was directly flipped over, and the cavern was razed to the ground.

After ten breaths, the dust settled.

Jiang Tianheng knelt on the ground, charred all over, his right eye completely blind, with blood continuously flowing from the eye socket.

Shocking wounds were everywhere on his body, the most serious one extending from his shoulder to his abdomen, nearly splitting him in half.

"Cough, cough…"

Jiang Tianheng coughed up a mouthful of black blood and struggled to lift his head.

He stared fixedly at the "Jiang Family Disciple" not far away, his remaining eye filled with anger and confusion.

"You're not from the Jiang Family… who exactly are you?"

"I don't change my name when I travel, nor my surname when I sit."

Zhou Chen smiled and reached out to tear off the Disguise Mask on his face: "I am Ji Wubing."

"Ji Wubing?"

Jiang Tianheng was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils contracted violently: "You… you're from the Ji Family?! No! I've never heard of someone like you! Who are you really?!"

"Does it matter?"

Zhou Chen drew his long sword, the azure sword light flowing: "Anyway, you're about to die."

"You dare to kill me?"

Jiang Tianheng laughed out of extreme anger: "I am the Jiang Family Old Ancestor! Kill me, and the entire Jiang Family will not let you go!"

"Jiang Family?"

Zhou Chen shook his head: "Your Jiang Family has been hunting me for so long, do you think I'm still afraid of you?"

As his voice fell, Zhou Chen's figure moved.

"First Bloom of the Azure Lotus!"

The first style of the Azure Lotus Sword Scripture.

The sword light was like a lotus, an azure lotus blooming in front of Jiang Tianheng. The lotus looked beautiful, but in reality, every petal was a lethal Sword Qi carrying Perfection Sword Intent.

Saint Rank Top-Grade Fire Spirit Palm!

Jiang Tianheng ignored his injuries, the Spiritual Qi in his body surging as he forcibly shook the lotus apart.

But Zhou Chen gave him no chance to catch his breath.

"Azure Lotus Cleaving the Heavens!"

Sword light soared into the sky, actually carving a crack in the cave. Terrifying Sword Intent surged from the crack, and heaven and earth trembled.

Jiang Tianheng was forced to retreat repeatedly, the Dao Wound in his body erupting again as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn it…"

Jiang Tianheng gritted his teeth, wanting to counterattack.

But Zhou Chen's attacks became increasingly dense.

"Azure Lotus Sword Domain!"

Countless azure Sword Qi condensed into a Domain, enveloping Jiang Tianheng. The Sword Qi crisscrossed, each one capable of easily slaying a Half-Emperor.

"Ah!"

Jiang Tianheng screamed as a dozen more wounds appeared on his body.

He could only exert thirty percent of his strength now, and with the suppression of the Azure Lotus Sword Domain, he simply couldn't block Zhou Chen's attacks.

"Azure Lotus Primordial Slash!"

Jiang Tianheng looked up to find the Yin and Yang Qi in the Void Realm constantly evolving.

The next moment.

Zhou Chen struck with a sword, the sword light brilliant, slashing toward him with the power to split heaven and earth.

Boom!

Jiang Tianheng held a Saint Rank High Grade Spirit Shield in front of his chest, his protective Spiritual Qi desperately resisting, but the Spirit Shield let out a series of wails and was completely split in two before long.

Jiang Tianheng was struck in the chest and sent flying, crashing into the mountain wall.

"Im… impossible…"

Jiang Tianheng panted heavily, his eyes full of resentment: "I am of the Emperor Realm… how could I lose to a Quasi-Emperor like you…"

"Villains die from talking too much."

Zhou Chen walked up to Jiang Tianheng and looked down at him: "I have no obligation to explain to you, idiot."

"You…"

Jiang Tianheng gritted his teeth, madness suddenly flashing in his eyes: "Then let's perish together!"

He suddenly stood up, the flames around him surging to the extreme.

"Flame Emperor Fist!"

This was the Jiang Family's Imperial Rank Medium Grade fist technique, and also Jiang Tianheng's final trump card.

Terrifying flames condensed into a flame giant, which threw a punch toward Zhou Chen.

But just as the punch was about to land—

Jiang Tianheng suddenly froze.

A strange power surged from all directions; it was the Power of Rules of the Burial God Ridge!

If an Emperor Realm expert used their full power within the Burial God Ridge, they would be invaded by the rules!

"No… no…"

Jiang Tianheng looked at his body in horror; those rule powers were eroding his life force.

His aura plummeted to the bottom.

"Seeking death."

Zhou Chen sneered, the Chaos Spiritual Energy in his body surging: "Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill!"

A phantom of a Primeval Dragon Elephant appeared behind him, roaring at the sky.

The Dragon Elephant phantom easily blocked the Flame Emperor Fist and even shook the flame giant apart.

"How is it possible…"

Jiang Tianheng's eyes widened.

Zhou Chen gave him no chance.

"Azure Lotus Sword Scripture Fifth Style—Green Lotus Burying Sky!"

Zhou Chen leapt into the air, the long sword in his hand exploding with unprecedented light. A giant azure lotus bloomed above his head, its petals layered, each containing world-destroying power.

When the azure lotus was in full bloom, the entire cave was enveloped in azure light.

"Slash!"

Zhou Chen slashed down.

The azure lotus transformed into a sky-blotting Spiritual Qi giant sword, descending from the heavens and slashing straight at Jiang Tianheng.

The sky turned dark.

"No—!"

Jiang Tianheng screamed in despair, but at this moment, he was simply unable to resist.

Chichi chi!

The sword light fell.
