Zhong Wanshan was extremely powerful.
He had been at the Dao Integration Realm for a hundred years. Although he had not reached the Dao Integration Middle Stage, he was not far from it. In addition, he was a sword cultivator, so his combat strength was not weaker than the Dao Integration Middle Stage.
Jiang He attacked, parrying it with the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array as well.
Dang!
The cry of the sword shook the air.
Jiang He's Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array was broken, and the two inferior-grade sage flying swords that he had planted not long ago were sent flying, just as Zhong Wanshan's Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array crumbled.
Extending his hand and beckoning, Jiang He withdrew his two flying swords, coming to a conclusion then …
It was the same Icefire Duality Sword Formation, but it seemed like this move of his was slightly stronger.
Furthermore, he was only at the Nascent Soul Final Stage, while Zhong Wanshan was at the Dao Integration Stage. They were both sword cultivators, and the two flying swords he used to unleash the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Formation were also low-grade dao tools … However, they were evenly matched. This meant that the Three Thousand Tribulations sword cultivation method that he had created should be more powerful than the Myriad Sword Sect's cultivation method.
"No, it's not just a little stronger, it's a lot stronger!"
Even as Jiang He thought about it, Zhong Wanshan had already landed on the island.
Behind him, Perfected Scarlet Sun, Hong Shanze, who carried the copper gourd on his back, and six Perfected Primordial Soul realm cultivators from the two sects also landed on the island one after another.
Once they reached the island, they promptly spread out and surrounded Jiang He.
Jiang He was not panicking at all.
He was even a little excited …
In this way, the target of the Five Thunder Talisman was found.
"Jiang He!"
Zhong Wanshan clenched his teeth, a bloody glint flashing in his eyes as he glared at Jiang He, saying hoarsely, "Jiang He, you must die today. I will pull out your tendons and pull out your bones, seal your Yuan Spirit, and put you in Hellfire to torture for a thousand years, no, ten thousand years!"
Jiang He did a double take.
Frowning, he said unhappily, "Brother, I might have a grudge against the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and even killed one of their elders, but there is no need to hate me so much, is there?"
"The hatred of killing my wife is absolutely irreconcilable!"
Zhong Wanshan growled.
The killing intent on his body became even more intense. Even the magic power around his body was dyed with a layer of blood. The Daoist Rhymes around his body vibrated. It was obvious that he was brewing some kind of secret technique.
"…"
Jiang He blinked.
Is there something wrong with your brain?
When did I kill your wife?
Could it be …
A look of shock appeared on Jiang He's face then … Elder Fate?
He had killed Elder Destiny from the Myriad Sword Sect, yet this Zhong Wanshan said that he hated him for killing his wife … Could it be that he had some unspeakable secret with that Elder Destiny?
No … If it was really Elder Destiny, he wouldn't have been able to give birth to Zhong Yue. Could it be that he was killed by the array formation I set up in my house?
Jiang He thought then. That was the only possibility.
Zhong Wanshan was preparing his killer move while Hong Shanze, Perfected Scarlet Sun, and the other six perfected Essence Soul Realm cultivators slowly surrounded him.
Every single one of them had killing intent on their faces, and were looking at Jiang He as if he was a corpse.
"Fellow Daoists, do you really want to kill me?"
Jiang He looked around at the crowd and said somberly, "I may have a grudge against the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but surely this isn't the case? I suppressed Zhong Yue and the True Habitant of Nine Dragons because they offended me in the first place. Now, you have also barged into my house, so we are even … Do you really want to kill me? "
"Don't mention your house to me!"
Zhong Wanshan roared, trembling in anger. The aura brewing on his body became even more terrifying as he said in a low voice, "Sect Leader Hong, Fellow Daoist Scarlet Sun, help me stop him. My killing move still needs five breaths of time to brew."
Both the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun and Hong Shanze traded glances, their Dao stirring as they invoked their mystic treasures …
"Five breaths?"
Jiang He could not help laughing. You've been charging for over a dozen breaths, and you still need five breaths? This is a fight to the death, and not a joke. That much time was enough for the enemy to cut you down dozens of times.
Jiang He ignored Zhong Wanshan and the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun and Hong Shanze.
He did not even bother to summon his mystic treasure.
He merely took out a yellow paper talisman with a turn of his hand. It appeared ancient and worn, with the three ancient tadpole-like words' Five Thunder Talisman 'written on it.
A dangerous aura emanated once the talisman was out.
Both the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun and Hong Shanze, who were about to charge at Jiang He promptly stopped, a look of wariness on their faces. However, when they saw the words on the talisman … they could not help laughing out loud.
That's …
A talisman?
Are you kidding me? That's how your family's talisman is written?
Then, they saw Jiang He throw that … let's call it a talisman for now, at Zhong Wanshan.
Though it appeared to have taken a long time, it was actually just a matter of breaths.
Zhong Wanshan had just finished charging his ultimate move, and his killing intent was bursting out of his body. His aura quaked the sand and pebbles around him, and even the distant surface of the sea split apart. In the next instant, the light Heavenly Thunder Talisman flew within the range of his aura.
Sizzle.
The talisman began to burn.
Then, there was a rumble …
A dull thud.
The skies that had been clear and boundless a moment ago abruptly churned with dark clouds, and a thunderbolt that was over a dozen meters thick descended from the clouds.
"No!"
Zhong Wanshan promptly looked up, his eyes reflecting a purple glow — the radiance of the thunderbolt.
In the next instant, he was engulfed by the thunderbolt.
At the same time, the scattered thunderbolts surged across every direction like a tidal wave.
"What the hell!"
Jiang He cried out in surprise and promptly dropped to the ground, clutching his head. Looking around with the corner of his eye, he found that the scattered thunderbolt had struck the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun, Hong Shanze, and the six full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivators who were frantically running away …
Purple electric arcs crackled on their bodies, and their bodies twitched as if they had been electrocuted.
The thunderbolt faded after around three breaths.
"Jiang He …"
The True Habitant of Scarlet Sun was charred black all over, his hair standing on end as he slowly rose to his feet, letting out a heart-wrenching roar.
Hong Shanze had been electrocuted quite badly as well, and he invoked his Blade Nourishing Gourd while trembling.
On the other hand, all that was left of Zhong Wanshan was a charred corpse.
The six full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivators were lying flat on the ground, their bodies still twitching and twitching. Their eyes were lifeless over their charred faces, and white foam was dripping from the corner of their mouths.
Even if they were struck by the scattered thunderbolts, they were a little overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Jiang He was still clutching his head and crouching on the ground. The horrific thunderbolts did not hurt him at all, and he turned his head to look at the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun and Hong Shanze, before looking up at the skies.
Up in the skies, dark clouds were churning and thunderbolts were flashing.
Boom-crack!
Another bolt of heavenly lightning struck down.
This time, it was several notches stronger than the one before, and there was a faint golden radiance flickering amidst the purple thunderbolt …
"That heavenly thunderbolt just now had a hint of green in it. It must be True Wood Thunderbolt, and this one must be Geng Jin Retribution Thunderbolt …" Jiang He thought leisurely as he crouched down, clutching his head while maintaining his Absolute Defense.
Even so, both Hong Shanze and the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun were scared out of their wits.
They had used almost every trick up their sleeves.
Attacking thunderbolts, protecting themselves with mystic treasures, burning their Yuan Spirits, and unleashing their secret techniques were all useless.
The Geng Jin Retribution Thunderbolt struck Hong Shanze's body with unstoppable force.
As the thunderbolts dispersed, the True Habitant of Scarlet Sun 'danced' amidst the thunderbolts, electrocuting the six full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivators who were lying on the ground until their auras were gone, their Yuan Spirits crumbling and their lifeforce fading …
The third heavenly thunderbolt came much faster than the second. Before the Geng Jin Retribution Thunderbolt completely faded, the third thunderbolt, Geng Jin Retribution Thunderbolt, had already struck, followed by the fourth.
"Damn it!"
Jiang He, who was crouching on the ground clutching his head, found the time to throw a few purple-gold sunflower seeds into his mouth, complaining inwardly, "This Five Thunder Talisman is a little too much. Everyone is dead and the island is split apart, and it still wants to strike again?"
"Five Thunder Talisman … Does the Five Thunder Talisman have to strike five thunderbolts?"
And the truth proved that to be the case.
By the time the five bolts of lightning had finished, the island with a radius of several kilometers had already been split into pieces. The seawater within a radius of 100 kilometers had been boiled by the lightning, and there were still crackling electric arcs flashing in the water.
Standing in the air, Jiang He stared at the charred corpses floating over the surface of the sea and breathed a long sigh, saying, "I've asked before if I had to die, and I wouldn't have killed them if you had said no."
Feeling emotional, Jiang He took out his jade charm and 'dialed' Elder Mo's communications charm again, asking, "Elder Mo, is there something you haven't finished?"
Elder Mo could not help breathing a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang He was safe and sound. "Brother Jiang He, have you shaken off the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect's pursuit?"
"Shaken off?"
Jiang He shook his head.
Elder Mo did a double take and quickly said, "Brother Jiang He, why would you have the time to contact me when you are being hunted? The True Habitant has said that the Taixu Sect would protect you as long as you could infiltrate the Hua Nation and come to Mount Kunlun. When the time comes, the True Habitant would step forward and speak on your behalf, and the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would not make things difficult for you. "
"Well …"
Jiang He mused to himself for seconds before flashing a pained smile. "You're too late, Elder Mo. That might have been possible if you had said it ten minutes earlier, but now … I'm afraid that the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would not spare me."
Elder Mo smiled faintly and said confidently, "Brother Jiang He, are you doubting the Taixu Sect? We have three Mahayana elites watching over us, and our chieftain is an eight-retribution elite who is known to be the best at arrays in the world of cultivators. Even the Mahayana elders would have to admit their inferiority, and I'm sure that the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would show us some respect. "
"For real?"
Delight appeared on Jiang He's face.
After all …
Who would like to be hunted down?
It would be best if they could make peace. At most, he would have to suffer a little, and he would not pursue the matter of the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect breaking into his array and sending people to hunt him down.
"Thank you, Elder Mo, and the chieftain of the Taixu Sect … I'll return to the Hua Nation at once after I'm done collecting the corpses and spoils of war, and seek refuge at the Taixu Sect."
"Eh?"
Elder Mo did a double take and exclaimed in surprise, "Corpses? Spoils of war? "
Jiang He did not know the principle behind the jade charm, but it was more or less the same as a video call. Since he was holding the jade charm and pointing it at himself, it was equivalent to a camera facing him while he stood in the air, which was why Elder Mo could not see the horrific scene over the ocean.
He promptly turned the jade charm to have Elder Mo look out over the ocean, and explained, "Weren't those people hunting me before? I killed them all instead … Eh? Elder Mo, Elder Mo? "
Jiang He scowled as he watched the silhouette of Elder Mo conjured from mystic energies slowly fade, and could not help cursing, "Damn it! You're an Elder of the Taixu Sect and a full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivator. How could you hang up just like that?"
Complaining inwardly, Jiang He dived into the ocean and collected every corpse, Spatial Ring, and mystic treasures.
"Sigh …"
"The Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would never spare me after I've killed so many people … Really, Elder Mo. He said he would protect me and mediate on my behalf, so why did he hang up just like that? Are the Taixu Sect going to be the peacemaker or not? At least give me a definite answer!"
…
The Taixu Sect.
The great temple.
Crack!
Elder Mo's jade charm fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. He blanked out for over a dozen seconds before turning towards the Taixu Sect chieftain who was equally stunned, and said, "True Habitant … Why don't we not interfere in this matter?"
The Taixu Sect chieftain shook his head repeatedly, saying, "No, we definitely won't interfere. The Taixu Sect would never interfere!"
