Chapter 720 Always Leave a Way Out!
Jiang Wang's eyes sharpened, but he remained calm and composed. He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, his palm swirling with dense black demonic energy and golden Dao patterns. The palm wind howled, carrying immense power, and collided fiercely with the longsword.
A crisp metallic clang rang out, deafening and sparks flying. Jiang Wang felt a numbness in his arm as a tremendous force surged from the longsword, spreading along his arm and throughout his body, causing him to involuntarily take a step back. The Sword Demon was also forced back a step by the force of the palm strike, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"how is this possible?"
The Blade Demon stared at Jiang Wang in disbelief, "Your cultivation is clearly only at the early stage of the Law Saint realm, how can you have such strength? Even a mid-stage Law Saint might not be able to withstand this strike from me, yet you were able to withstand it and even repel me?"
Your knife, though sharp and powerful, is still not enough.
"Insanity!"
The Blade Demon roared, his eyes bloodshot, "Boy, how dare you underestimate me! Today, I will tear you to pieces and show you the power of the Blade Demon!"
As he spoke, the Blade Demon gripped his longsword with both hands and slashed fiercely at Jiang Wang again. This slash was even more powerful than before. The longsword was surrounded by dense power of laws and black demonic energy. The blade wind howled, carrying a world-destroying momentum as it slashed towards Jiang Wang. The surrounding space was torn apart by the blade wind, forming huge gaps.
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and he slightly shifted his body to avoid the attack of the longsword. At the same time, he raised his hand, and a black sword aura condensed at his fingertips. The sword aura was mixed with faint golden Dao patterns and shot fiercely toward the sword demon's chest at an extremely fast speed.
The sword demon's expression changed, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block. His long sword was held horizontally in front of his chest. With a "clang", the sword energy collided with the long sword, sparks flew everywhere. The sword demon felt a numbness in his arm, and the long sword almost slipped from his hand. He also felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his blood and qi surged.
"what!"
The Blade Demon roared, his eyes filled with pain and rage, "Boy, you dare hurt me! I'll kill you!"
As he spoke, the power and laws surrounding the Blade Demon surged once more, and he slashed out with his longsword again, unleashing massive blade energies that slammed towards Jiang Wang. The dense blade energies covered the entire space, leaving Jiang Wang with no way to dodge.
Jiang Wang remained expressionless as he activated the "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Record." Dense black demonic energy and golden Dao patterns swirled around him. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, causing the demonic energy around him to condense into a massive black shield that enveloped his entire body. At the same time, sword energy continuously condensed at his fingertips and shot fiercely towards the blade energy.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"
The blade energy and sword energy collided with each other, producing loud bangs. The shockwaves swept in all directions, and the black shield shook violently, but it was never broken. The blade energy was also shattered one by one by the sword energy.
Seeing this, the Blade Demon's face showed shock and despair. He did not expect that Jiang Wang's strength was so great. He tried his best, but he could not hurt Jiang Wang in the slightest.
"No! This is impossible! How could I lose to a mere early-stage Law Saint?"
The Blade Demon roared, his eyes bloodshot, and the power and laws surrounding him began to become chaotic; he had fallen into madness.
Jiang Wang looked at the crazed sword demon and said coldly, "Stop struggling. You are no match for me."
"Hand over your source power obediently, and I might spare your life; otherwise, I'll kill you."
The Blade Demon gritted his teeth, staring fiercely at Jiang Wang: "Even if I die, I will not hand over my source power! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
As he spoke, the power and laws surrounding the Blade Demon surged to their limit in an instant. He was actually going to burn his own source power and unleash a forbidden divine power to perish together with Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and his tone was icy: "Stubborn fool! Since you insist on courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"
As he spoke, Jiang Wang raised his hand, and the demonic energy and Dao patterns around him surged instantly. He pushed out a palm with both hands, and a huge black palm print, carrying immense power, slammed into the Blade Demon. Wherever the palm print passed, the space itself collapsed.
With a loud "bang," the palm print slammed into the Blade Demon. The Blade Demon let out a shrill scream as his burning source power was instantly shattered by the palm print. His body began to slowly dissipate, his eyes filled with resentment and despair.
"You...you wait...I won't let you get away with this..."
The Blade Demon's voice grew weaker and weaker until it completely dissipated into the air, leaving only a faint trace of primordial power suspended in mid-air.
Jiang Wang raised his hand and absorbed the wisp of primal power into his body. The system's voice sounded: [Host, you have slain a peak-level, third-tier Saint of Strength, Blade Demon, gaining primal power, which has been converted into experience points: 20 billion!]
"20 billion experience points? Not bad."
Jiang Wang thought to himself, a satisfied look appearing on his face.
Just then, the 600 powerful cultivators at the third level of the Strength Saint realm under the Blade Demon emerged from the darkness. They looked at Jiang Wang with fear and despair in their eyes. The Blade Demon was their leader, and even the Blade Demon had been killed by Jiang Wang. They were no match for Jiang Wang at all.
"M-My lord, spare our lives!" A powerful figure immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to Jiang Wang. "My lord, we dare not resist anymore. We are willing to hand over a portion of our source power. Please, my lord, spare us!"
The other powerful figures also knelt down, begging Jiang Wang for mercy: "My lord, spare our lives! We are willing to surrender our source power, please don't kill us!"
Jiang Wang looked at them and said calmly, "Very good."
Since you know what's good for you, I'll spare your lives.
Now, hand over a portion of your primordial power. If you dare to try anything funny, I will kill you immediately.
"Yes, yes, yes! We wouldn't dare to play any tricks!" The powerful figures nodded hurriedly, each circulating their cultivation techniques and injecting a portion of their primordial power into the black vortex that Jiang Wang had condensed.
As the power of origin was injected, the system's voice continuously echoed in Jiang Wang's mind: [Host, you have obtained the power of origin, converted into experience points: 1500 million experience points!]
[Host, you have obtained the power of origin, which has been converted into experience points: 1800 million experience points!]
[Host, you have obtained the power of origin, which has been converted into experience points: 2000 million experience points!]
……
About an hour later, all the powerful individuals had poured a portion of their primal energy into the black vortex. The system's voice sounded again: [Host, you have gained a total of primal energy, converted into experience points, totaling 120 billion experience points!] "120 billion experience points? That's great!"
Jiang Wang was overjoyed, and a bright smile appeared on his face. "With this, my current experience points have reached 200 billion, which brings me one step closer to the 2700 billion experience points required to refine the Demon Suppression Tower!"
Jiang Wang raised his hand and absorbed all the primal power in the black vortex into his body. He then activated the "Nine Revolutions Spiritual Treasure Record" to convert this primal power into his own experience points and cultivation level. He could feel that his cultivation level was rapidly increasing, and he was getting closer and closer to the mid-stage of the Law Saint.
Jiang Wang nodded, ignored them, and turned to walk towards the fourth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.
He knew that the experts on the fourth level were all at the fourth level of the Power Saint realm, and the experience points they converted from their primordial power would definitely be more than those on the third level. He needed to accumulate enough experience points as soon as possible to refine the Demon Suppression Tower and take all the experts in the tower as his servants, making them his helpers in the Journey to the West world.
Upon entering the fourth level, Jiang Wang discovered that the space on the fourth level was much more expansive than that on the third level. The demonic energy and the stench of blood in the air were also much stronger, creating a greater sense of oppression. The surrounding restrictive forces were also more powerful than those on the third level, and he could even feel a faint pressure from the Great Dao that made it hard to breathe.
Just then, a cold and aged voice came from the darkness: "Intruder, you actually managed to pass through the first three levels, kill the Blade Demon, and even subdue the strongmen of the first three levels. You do have some skill."
However, the fourth floor is not a place for you. Get out of there now, or even if you have extraordinary abilities, you will surely die!
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction of the sound. In the darkness, an old figure slowly emerged. The figure wore a gray Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, and held a cane. He was surrounded by a dense aura of the power of the laws of strength, and his cultivation had actually reached the mid-stage of the fourth level of the Saint of Strength. His eyes were cold as he stared at Jiang Wang, filled with killing intent and vigilance.
"who are you?"
Jiang Wang spoke calmly, "I can come and go as I please from this Demon-Suppressing Tower."
"Art is an explosion, drink!"
Tu Hua's pupils constricted sharply as he felt two blinding golden lights rushing towards him. The violent spiritual power wrapped around the scales made all the hairs on his body stand on end, and he instinctively roared, "What is this?! How can your scales have such domineering power?"
Jiang Wang raised his paw, his tone full of impatience, not even glancing at Tu Hua: "Stop talking nonsense. Since you insist on coming here to die, then don't blame me for being impolite."
"You're welcome?"
Tu Hua was thoroughly enraged by Jiang Wang's attitude. His massive Qilin body trembled violently, and a faint golden spiritual light emanated from his body—the auspicious aura of the Xiangrui Sect. "Boy, do you know who I am? I am the eldest disciple of Tu Xiangrui, the sect master of the Xiangrui Sect, at the peak of the first level of the Strength Realm, just one step away from stepping into the second level! If you dare to hurt me, you are making an enemy of the entire Xiangrui Sect. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the sect master will grind you to dust!"
A slightly smaller Qilin beside him immediately chimed in, its voice sharp and piercing: "That's right! Senior Brother Tu is the most outstanding young member of our Xiangrui Sect. How dare you, a wild brat who appeared out of nowhere, be so insolent in front of Senior Brother Tu? Quickly kneel down and apologize, return Senior Brother Tu's spiritual treasure, and cut off one of your claws. Perhaps Senior Brother Tu will spare your dog's life!"
Jiang Wang paused, finally turning his head to look at the speaking Qilin, his tone icy: "What are you? Do you think you're qualified to teach me how to do things?"
"I am Tu Feng, the junior brother of Senior Brother Tu!" The Qilin stood tall and proud, its face full of arrogance. "Our Xiangrui Sect is the number one sect in the Xiangrui Chaos Realm, with thousands of disciples and countless experts. Let alone an unknown nobody like you, even the top forces in other Chaos Realms would have to give way to our Xiangrui Sect! Your provocation today is simply courting death!"
"Seeking death?"
Jiang Wang chuckled and gently raised his claw. Another flash of light appeared, and Tu Feng, who had just spoken, felt his whole body stiffen, as if he were bound by an invisible force, making it difficult for him to even breathe. "I'd like to see if your Xiangrui Sect can stop me."
Seeing this, Tu Hua was enraged and pounced forward, his huge Qilin claws whistling through the air as he slammed towards Jiang Wang's head: "Arrogant fool! Die!"
Jiang Wang swayed and easily dodged Tu Hua's attack. At the same time, he lashed out with his tail, striking Tu Hua hard. With a muffled thud, Tu Hua's massive body was forced back several steps, and a trace of golden blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"impossible!"
Tu Hua stared in disbelief, clutching the spot where he had been struck, his eyes filled with horror. "You clearly only appear to be at the early stage of the first level of the Strength Realm, how could you possibly possess such power? Are you hiding your cultivation level?"
"Concealing one's cultivation level?"
Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow, his tone disdainful, "You are not worthy of my concealing my cultivation level."
So what if he's at the peak of the first level of the Power Realm? In my eyes, he's nothing but a clown.
Seeing this, the other Qilin quickly stepped forward, cupped its hands in greeting to Jiang Wang, and spoke in a slightly gentler tone than before, but still with a hint of arrogance: "Fellow Daoist, leave room for maneuver in all things, so that we may meet again in the future."
"We are disciples of the Auspicious Sect. If you are willing to apologize and leave today, we will not pursue the matter of you refining Senior Brother Tu's spiritual treasure. What do you say?"
"Apologize and leave?"
Jiang Wang sneered, "When I, Jiang Wang, do something, I never apologize or back down."
"I'm determined to conquer this secret tower today. You either get out of my way, or you'll all stay here and perish with your magical treasures."
"You!" The Qilin's face darkened. "Fellow Daoist, don't push your luck! We've already given you a way out. If you insist on this, don't blame us for the nine of us joining forces to kill you on the spot!"
"Join forces?"
Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and his aura instantly became violent. "Perfect, saves me the trouble of dealing with them one by one. Let's all come at once and see just how much the disciples of the Auspicious Auspicious Sect are capable of."
Tu Hua wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Fine! Since you refuse to listen to reason, then don't blame us for being ruthless! Junior brothers, let's attack together and tear this brat to pieces to avenge me and restore the prestige of the Auspicious Sect!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Tu!"
The other eight Qilin responded in unison, spreading out their forms to surround Jiang Wang. Each Qilin radiated golden spiritual light, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around them grew stronger and stronger. The air was filled with a rich auspicious aura, yet it was also mixed with a sharp killing intent.
"Boy, prepare to die!"
Tu Feng launched the first attack, his figure flashing as he lunged towards Jiang Wang's side. The spiritual light on his Qilin Claw surged, carrying a force that tore through the air as he aimed directly for Jiang Wang's abdomen. (End of Chapter)
