Two figures disappeared into the night one after the other.
That was when the many martial artists and superhumans who had been watching the fight outside the palace finally dared to approach, slowly arriving at the battlefield. They could not help inhaling sharply when they saw the mess on the battlefield!
"Gasp!"
"That slash mark must be several meters deep …"
"Heavens, is that a fight between the best of the best? The ground here seems to have been turned upside down! "
Even the strongest among them was a rank-five, and they could not see the fight clearly due to the distance, although they could vaguely hear voices like 'Sky Demon Cult' and 'Jiang He'.
When they went up to check, they found two corpses on the ground, especially Sky Crime's alloy combat axe which was still on the ground.
"That's …"
"S-grade alloy combat axe?"
Someone gasped and was about to claim it for himself when he noticed the hostile gazes of the others around them, and quickly said, "We're all Western Xia martial artists, so there's no need to risk our lives over a weapon. Moreover, there's no telling who would get it in the end!"
"Moreover …"
"Who would take the S-grade alloy combat axe away if that person returns?"
His voice darkened and he seethed through clenched teeth, "An S-grade alloy weapon is worth at least 30 million, and this combat axe is made of much more materials than a sword or blade. It could sell for 50 million, and with so many of us here, it wouldn't be a problem for each of us to split a few million …"
The others were tempted at his words.
Someone said meekly, "That … that's the spoils of war from the Sky Demon Cult that elite Jiang He killed. It's not good for us to just take it away, is it?"
As the others turned toward him, that person shrunk his neck and lowered his voice even more. "What I mean is that we would definitely be tracked if we fight here in Western Xia, and none of us would get away if that elite pursues the matter. Why don't we leave the mountain right now and trade in other provinces? I heard that there's even a black market for other identities …"
"Rawr!"
That was when a roar echoed.
It was the black panther who had cried out in excitement.
And yet, with that roar …
The group of martial artists scattered like startled birds, with someone yelling, "Run! I've seen that black panther before, it's a rank-seven Feral …"
？？？
The black panther was utterly confused.
What the hell?
I just suddenly remembered that the guy had disappeared, so I could escape. So, I vented my excitement. Why are you running?
… …
"The Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult … heh heh … what an undeserved reputation!"
"You were quite pretentious, but now it seems that you're just a piece of trash. You're a Level Nine expert who has comprehended the Power of Will, but you don't dare to fight me head-on?"
Moving like a phantom, Jiang He gave chase wildly through the mountain forest.
On the other hand, the Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult had a dark look on his face as he sprinted away.
He had sent greetings to all eighteen generations of Jiang He's ancestors.
Fight?
Fight my ass!
He was a f * cking freak!
A rank-six … he was not that strong. Although he had killed Guilty Star in a head-on confrontation, there was an element of trickery involved. No one would have thought that this kid's martial arts cultivation was so terrifying, and he was actually an Awakened!
Sword user …
That was a Transcendent with the strongest killing ability among his peers!
Logically speaking, knowing Third Elder's trump card, all he needed to do was guard against him. However, in the exchange just now, after four palms, Third Elder of the Heavenly Demon Cult had despaired!
I can't move it!
He couldn't move it at all!
What's the point of fighting if I can't move it?
Third Elder still had to be on guard against that luminous sword at all times, and watch out for the kid whipping out some random item from time to time!
Third Elder's form technique was not weak and he was very familiar with Mount Helan as well. If he ran at full speed, Jiang He would have a hard time catching up even with his Blind Princess's Eight Practices. Still, even if he could not catch up, it was not very possible for Third Elder to shake Jiang He off.
Running over sixty kilometers in a single breath, he was already out of the range of Mount Helan. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes when he looked back to find that Jiang He was still giving chase, but he soon laughed coldly.
"Even if he is unreasonably powerful, he is still a rank-six martial artist!"
"I, on the other hand, am a rank-nine martial artist who has grasped the Boundary of Wills. My True Qi is endless, and I could endlessly absorb the Universal Force between the world and convert it into my own strength. At this speed, I would be fine even if I kept running for hours, and when he runs out of True Qi, I would be caught off guard and come back to kill him."
Even so …
Third Elder soon realized that something was not right.
The distance between them seemed to be widening.
"Could it be that his true qi has already been exhausted?"
The Third Elder's heart skipped a beat and he slowed down. He was about to turn around and attack when he suddenly felt a sense of danger that made his hair stand on end …
…
Behind him.
Jiang He was cursing inwardly.
"I can't catch up. I can't catch up at all … and running at such extreme speed consumes a lot of True Qi. I would have to start popping pills after running at this speed for a dozen hours."
Hence, he slowed down.
He could only watch as the distance between them rapidly widened from 300 meters to 500 meters, then one kilometer, then two kilometers.
Then, Jiang He took out the Dragon God-Type Nuclear Rocket Launcher and loaded it with a 100-ton W-55 nuclear warhead.
[Dragon God-Type Nuclear Rocket Launcher]
[Effective Range: 6km]
[W-55 Nuclear Rocket Launcher]
[Yield: 100 tons]
[Explosive Range: 6km]
After loading the warhead, Jiang He had wanted to wait for Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult to run a little further before firing, but he did not expect him to slow down … which made it even easier to aim!
Gritting his teeth, Jiang He promptly fired!
Boom!
The nuclear warhead fired!
Almost in the instant he fired, Jiang He turned and ran.
He pushed his speed to the limit and reached the speed of sound, running over a kilometer in just two seconds …
Boom!
A violent explosion echoed behind him, and Jiang He, who was running as fast as he could, felt a massive shockwave striking him from behind … and then … nothing.
？？？
Jiang He froze where he was.
Turning to look at the center of the explosion, he found a small mushroom cloud rising and exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on? It's much weaker than I thought."
Not only was it weaker …
Was there a problem with the explosion's range?
The corner of Jiang He's mouth twitched as he came to a realization. "So I've misunderstood. The explosion range of six kilometers refers to the diameter of the explosion, which means it would at most reach three kilometers from the epicenter to where I am … Eh? It actually didn't kill that dog Third Elder? "
From afar, he could see a figure struggling to get up from the ground at the edge of the explosion.
Third Elder of the Sky Demon Cult was coughing blood incessantly. He was dazed, and his vision was darkening.
He was not dead, but he was grievously wounded.
He sensed danger almost in the instant Jiang He fired, which was why he avoided the epicenter at once. Be that as it may, the shockwave from the hundred-ton yield nuclear warhead instantly tore through his protective True Qi, leaving his qi and blood churning and his True Qi running amok. Many of his veins were even broken.
Most importantly, the nuclear radiation.
The energy of the radiation left him bleeding from his mouth and nose. Though he would not die immediately, he could not muster his True Qi to suppress his injuries.
In the distance …
Jiang He was a little nervous.
What should he do?
Though the radiation from the nuclear warhead was not that powerful and lasted for a short time … what if he could not withstand the radiation?
"It's better to be safe than sorry. I'd better not go and land the killing blow!"
Hence, Jiang He fired another shot.
He did not have to worry about the radiation from a distance.
"No!"
Third Elder shrieked in despair. He could not even muster his True Qi right now, and his body was so weak that he could not even run.
Boom!
The nuclear warhead exploded beneath his feet.
Jiang He turned around and dashed towards Mount Helan, not even intending to take the spoils of war!
"It's getting late. It's probably midnight. I'd better get back and finish off that willow tree as soon as possible and go to bed!"
