"This is too much! The Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are really too much!"
Rage filled Jiang He's face.
How dare they come to my house to behave atrociously when I'm not home?
Do they even care about me, Jiang He?
Jiang He only calmed down considerably after cursing a few times, when he suddenly remembered what the True Habitant of Nine Dragons and the Cloudy Sky Sect had said when he ran into them … and came to a realization.
Did the True Habitant of Nine Dragons not visit his house at the time?
Was that why he had returned because he could not break the array, and so came to ask for the Cloudy Sky Sect's help?
"Hold on … not even the Cloudy Sky Sect could break the array I put up casually?"
Jiang He thought of something then, and asked, "Elder Mo, did you just say that the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had asked the Taixu chieftain to break the array?"
"That's right."
Elder Mo confirmed the matter, before saying righteously, "However, the chieftain did not agree to it. Since the Taixu Sect is on good terms with Brother Jiang He, how could we do such a thing?"
"Go!"
Jiang He, however, smiled and said, "Elder Mo, please tell the Taixu Chieftain that he has to go and crack the array. I'm not home anyway, so it doesn't matter even if the array is broken."
"Eh?"
Elder Mo, who was conjured from mystic energy, appeared baffled and asked, "Brother Jiang He, what are you …"
Are you sick in the head to have someone else break the array you put up?
Jiang He smiled. "To tell the truth, Elder Mo, I've only learned arrays not long ago, and I have no idea how powerful or what its limits are. If the Taixu chieftain were to break it, he could help me test the power of the array I put up."
"Eh?"
Jiang He's eyes flashed as he looked towards the distant ocean, only to find that the calm surface of the sea was suddenly churning, as if something was braving the waves. He promptly said, "Alright, Elder Mo. We'll keep in touch."
With that, he put away the jade charm and released his divine mind to investigate the behemoth that was braving the waves.
It was a colossal python that was over a thousand meters long. Its head was the size of a small mountain, and its thick body had veins of patterns. Its body was exuding a frightening aura, and it was moving at three times the speed of sound. Every marine creature in its path would retreat.
"The Titan Python of the Flood Thunder?"
Jiang He recognized the python.
This giant python was the Retribution Titan Python on the "Python Killer Ranking". It was known as the largest ferocious beast on Earth and was an ancient mutated species. Now it seemed that … it was really not a lie.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a pillar of water shot up into the sky.
The Titanoboa's 1,000-meter-long body emerged from the water. Only one-fifth of its body was exposed above the surface of the water. Even so, it was still more than 200 meters tall.
Its eyes flickered in pale-blue luster, and it stared coldly at Jiang He from over a dozen miles away, speaking in human tongue as it growled, "Human, you dare to kill my descendant?"
"Your descendant?"
The anaconda he had just killed was a descendant of the Titanoboa Reihom?
He was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up.
That anaconda was stubborn. It would rather be beaten to death than submit. However, the Titanic Reihom Serpent was a Vicious Beast Emperor. Its intelligence was even higher. It should be able to weigh the pros and cons, right?
Moreover, even if the Titanic Reihom Serpent was an iron-headed anaconda, would it not be more resilient than a Feral Emperor?
If that was the case, he could try his physical beast-taming technique multiple times.
"Human!"
Seeing that Jiang He was not saying a word, the Titanic Reihom Serpent bellowed.
Once it raged, the surface of the sea within twenty kilometers churned. A massive wave that reached up to a thousand feet surged towards Jiang He. Laughing out loud, Jiang He parted the wave with a single punch. But just as he was about to attack, a sword radiance shot past from the distance, cutting down on the Titanic Reihom Serpent's mountainous head with a whoosh.
Boom!
The wave that it kicked up fell.
The Titanic Reihom Serpent's colossal head slowly detached from its neck, crashing into the water.
In the distance, a middle-aged man was approaching on a sword radiance.
"Someone from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
Jiang He's eyes narrowed.
He saw that the middle-aged man had already taken out a jade charm and sent word as he flew towards him.
"Oh, no!"
"According to Elder Mo, the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have sent many elites to bother me. He has already sent word, and it wouldn't take long for a large group of elites to surround me. When that happens, I won't be able to fight four hands with two fists … and if I end up in the hands of the two immortal sects, I would be in grave danger!"
Jiang He's thoughts were racing.
Now that things had come to this, he had to end the battle quickly, and then …
Flee!
"Jiang He!"
The man from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was brimming with vigor as he barked from the distance, "Surrender, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect will grant you dignity."
Jiang He stood on thin air, waves churning beneath his feet. With a wave of his hand, mystic energy swirled to collect the corpse of the Titanic Reihom Serpent, and he turned towards the man from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
He was a full-fledged Yuan Spirit.
His aura was not weak, and was a little stronger than the True Habitant of Nine Dragons.
In the end, he was a sword cultivator, and judging from the scarlet radiance burning on the sword beneath his feet, it must be a fire-type premium-grade soul weapon. Moreover, the flying sword he used to slay the Titanic Reihom Serpent was rippling with aqueous radiance, making it a water-type premium-grade soul weapon.
That was why he knew the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array as well.
Whoosh!
In a flash, Jiang He went up to meet him.
"Eh?"
There was a flash in the man's eyes, and he actually stopped. Two flying swords rose over his head, turning into dragons of water and fire that intertwined as the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array materialized, and he pointed it at Jiang He from the distance.
"Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array?"
Jiang He sneered. With a thought, all six flying swords flew out at once, and the Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses instantly took shape. "Puny tricks," he cried, "How dare you show off before me? Six Pulses and Five Elements, die!"
Whoosh!
In that very moment, the world changed color.
The sword radiance of the five elements dyed the dark night brightly.
"No!"
The eyes of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Elder promptly tightened. He cried out in surprise and turned to flee, but he was engulfed by the river light before he could even get half a mile away. When the sword light faded, all that was left was a corpse covered in sword scars.
Jiang He walked up and reached out with a grasping motion, collecting the Spatial Ring and the two premium-grade flying swords that had fallen into the sea, before instantly diving into the sea and disappearing from sight.
Around a minute later.
Whoosh!
A sword radiance streaked through the air.
Atop the sword radiance, the vice-chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who was carrying a bottle gourd over his back, stared at the corpse floating on the surface of the sea, his killing intent overflowing.
Soon, many cultivators were flying toward the scene.
There were cultivators from both the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Penglai Sect, with six of them being full-fledged Yuan Spirit and two Convergence-tier. Aside from the vice-chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect who was carrying a bottle gourd over his back, there was also a Convergence-tier cultivator from the Penglai Sect.
"Elder Fate is dead?"
"Elder Fate's ability is at the peak of full-fledged Yuan Spirit, and once he casts the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, even Convergence-tier novice cultivators would have to avoid its edge. It has been at most half an incense stick's worth of time since Elder Fate sent word that he had found Jiang He. How could Jiang He be so powerful?"
Many voices of discussion could be heard.
There was a flash of fear in the eyes of the full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivators.
That Elder Fate was more powerful than most of them, and yet he was swiftly killed by Jiang He. What if they found Jiang He?
The vice-chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, who was carrying a bottle gourd over his back, could naturally tell that everyone was wary, and somberly said, "Everyone, split into groups of two and search. Do not act recklessly if you find Jiang He."
…
Meanwhile, Jiang He was already five hundred kilometers away.
He had turned his farm into a gravel and attached it to a small island in the sea, while he himself entered the farm in a flash.
Inside the farm, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers were 'hetui' and 'hetui' as they practiced their air blades. Dumbo and Trumbo were lying in a corner, hugging Orirocks as they cultivated, while the two golden eaglets were cultivating Sky Daemon Invincibility as well.
Even the willow tree was shining in crystalline green radiance as it absorbed the Yuan Qi in the farm to strengthen itself. Still, such pure Yuan Qi was too slow to evolve.
It was the same for the Cloudscraper Vine.
Would it have grown so quickly if Jiang He had not fed it piles of Feral corpses?
"I have to make arrangements for the cultivation of a plant-type life form."
Jiang He thought then, and with a turn of his hand, he took out the two premium-grade soul weapons he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Elder.
"Not bad, a top-grade water attribute flying sword and a top-grade fire attribute flying sword. After I plant them and strengthen them, they will probably become two low-grade Dao flying swords. At that time, when I use the two low-grade Dao flying swords to cast the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Sword Array, the power of this sword array should increase by 30% to 50%!"
He planted the two swords.
Then, he took out the Spatial Ring.
He opened it.
He checked.
Inside the storage ring, there weren't many things. Other than a jade token from the Wan Jian House that was engraved with the word "Heaven's Will", there were only some clothes, about 100 spiritual stones, and four yellowed amulets.
"Is the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Elder that poor?"
Jiang He complained, and was about to withdraw his spirit that had seeped into the Spatial Ring when his heart skipped a beat, and he turned towards the hundred spirit stones again.
"Those spirit stones …"
"They don't look the same as the ones I planted before."
Jiang He took out one of the spirit stones and studied it closely. Although it was identical in shape and size to the ones he planted before, the Yuan Qi contained within it was much thicker than the ones he planted.
"These are … mediocre-grade spirit stones?"
Jiang He came to a realization then, and could not help exclaiming in delight, "If they really are mediocre-grade spirit stones, doesn't that mean I could earn a wave of Farm Points if I plant them?"
He counted carefully.
There were a total of 120 mediocre-grade spirit stones.
Jiang He planted them one by one before picking up the four paper talismans.
After checking them, Jiang He deduced that …
Two of the four paper talismans were sword talismans. When charged, they would burst out with a burst of Sword Qi equal to a full-power strike from a full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivator.
It was not powerful, but it was not weak either.
The two sword talismans had usage limitations and had to be charged with divine mind, which was why only Yuan Spirit novice cultivators could charge them.
"A Yuan Spirit novice would be able to burst out with a full-fledged Yuan Spirit attack. Not bad."
After that, Jiang He turned to the remaining two paper talismans.
They were two thunder talismans that contained the might of thunder. Once charged, the thunder would explode with power equal to a full-power strike from a full-fledged Yuan Spirit.
"Chicken ribs!"
Jiang He complained.
A full-power strike from a full-fledged Yuan Spirit?
Even the weakest among the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was a full-fledged Yuan Spirit, was it not?
While it sounded impressive, it was actually useless against him. After all, that was what he could do with the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array, and once he cast the Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses, he could easily kill a full-fledged Yuan Spirit.
If he could unleash a full-power strike from a Convergence-tier …
"Eh?"
Jiang He could not help blinking at that thought, and took out a handful of spirit condensation pellets to refine it. Then, he thought to himself, 'If I plant these talismans and strengthen it, would its burst power reach Convergence-tier?'
It might really work!
Jiang He dug four holes, redeemed four packs of Mysterious Soil, and planted the four paper talismans.
At that moment, a sword chime was heard, followed by a burst of immortal light that covered the entire farm.
Jiang He was at first stunned, but soon became delighted …
Was the Mosquito Cutter finally ripening?
