The moment Jianchen unleashed his Martial Soul Force, the collapsing tunnel slowed down slightly. Even the streams of energy that wreaked havoc in the tunnel became much quieter. They were much less violent.
The six Receival experts from the World of Forsaken Saints violently trembled after being directly attacked by Martial Soul Force. Their faces changed drastically, and their gazes toward Jianchen were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Primordial spirit attack, he actually grasped a primordial spirit attack divine ability!" Anna cried out. Even the master of the World of Forsaken Saints, the Spiritking, did not possess an ability that could attack the soul. Even with the entire World of Forsaken Saints in perspective, there were only a handful of people who possessed abilities that could attack the soul. However, without any exception, their attacks were nowhere near as powerful as Jian Chen's, where they could actually affect Origin realm experts.
Although Jianchen's soul was as powerful as a Returnance expert's, he had only grasped Martial Soul Force recently. He had yet to find the corresponding secret method to use it, so its power was drastically weakened. It was nowhere near as powerful as the rumors said, so it could only be used against the Holy Emperor. It was unable to harm Origin realm experts. As a result, the six experts from the World of Forsaken Saints were not injured at all after being attacked by Jianchen's Martial Soul Force.
Even though that was the case, it was enough to make them pause. They had already lost the best opportunity to save Ku Mu during this pause.
Spurt!
The Ziying sword stabbed into Ku Mu's forehead with lightning-like speed, piercing his head. However, Ku Mu was someone who had experienced countless battles after all. He had experienced countless life-threatening battles in his life, so he was extremely experienced. As soon as Jianchen's Ziying sword touched his skin, he had made a prompt decision to abandon his body and flee with his soul. He flew toward Anna and the others as quickly as he could.
Jianchen sneered. The heavy killing intent in his sharp eyes did not decrease at all. Instead, it became even more powerful. He stabbed out once again, pursuing Ku Mu's soul.
At this moment, the five other Receival experts returned to their senses. Four of them immediately unleashed shocking presences to receive Jianchen, preventing Jianchen from killing Ku Mu's soul. Anna quickly flew toward Ku Mu's soul in an attempt to protect it.
Violent streams of energy were present everywhere in the tunnel. Ku Mu had become extremely fragile after losing his body. Even though he was a Receival expert, it was difficult for him to survive in the tunnel with just his soul.
"None of you can save him!" Jianchen coldly said. The Ziying sword immediately shone, turning into five illusionary swords that faced off against the five of them.
He began to engage in an intense battle with the five of them in the tunnel.
Although Jianchen was alone, he had comprehended the Way of the Sword after all. His battle prowess was extraordinary, so he was not at a disadvantage at all when fighting against five Receival experts. Anna felt helpless as well as she was kept busy by Jianchen. She was unable to protect Ku Mu's soul at all.
"Ku Mu, return to the World of Forsaken Saints!" Anna called out to Ku Mu. They all understood that it was impossible for them to invade the Tian Yuan Continent now. They had underestimated Jianchen's strength. Even though they had used the secret treasure from the Spiritking to trap the Returnance expert, just Jianchen's strength was enough to stop the five of them.
Not to mention, there were still three Origin realm experts who had yet to take action outside of the tunnel.
Ku Mu said nothing. He carefully avoided the streams of energy in the tunnel and frantically flew back in the direction he had come from. He knew that he could die in the tunnel at any time. He would only be safe if he returned to the World of Forsaken Saints.
However, at this moment, an azure light flashed. It crossed the several-hundred-meter-long path in the tunnel and shot toward Ku Mu's soul with lightning speed.
The expressions of the five Receival experts who fought against Jianchen changed drastically. One of them immediately cried out, "It's his second sword. God dammit, we overlooked the azure sword. Go save Ku Mu!"
However, it was already too late. Qing Suo's sword moved just too quickly, arriving before Ku Mu's soul in a single instance.
Having lost his body, Ku Mu was completely powerless to resist the Qing Suo Sword's pursuit. In the end, the Qing Suo Sword pierced through his soul with a shocking sword Qi as he watched on in horror.
"Argh!"
Ku Mu produced a chilling cry. Before he had even finished speaking, his soul had already dispersed in the tunnel. He had been wiped out.
The five remaining Receival experts from the World of Forsaken Saints revealed extremely ugly expressions with Ku Mu's death. They all felt heavy inside. Ku Mu was the strongest out of the six of them. Even with all the Receival experts in the World of Forsaken Saints in perspective, there was probably no one who could defeat Ku Mu. However, he had been slain so easily right before their eyes today, which made them shiver inside.
This was because just too little time had passed between Ku Mu and Jianchen's battle and Ku Mu's death.
"Let's retreat!" A Receival expert said with a deep voice. After using his full strength to deliver one last attack at Jianchen, he immediately retreated.
The other four did not hesitate at all. They all lost the will to continue fighting.
They retreated with the Receival expert before maintaining a defensive formation. They were wary of Jianchen's pursuit as they retreated in the direction they had come from as quickly as possible.
Jianchen hovered where he had been as he silently watched the five of them leave. He did not pursue them because the tunnel had become extremely damaged. Even Origin realm experts could not remain in there for too long, or they would be sucked out of the tunnel if they were careless and become lost in the boundless void.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
At this moment, a few heavy snapping sounds rang out in Jianchen's ears. Near him, another several-dozen-meter-long tunnel had collapsed. The violent streams of energy wreaked havoc even more violently.
Jianchen no longer hesitated. He immediately turned around and flew back to the Tian Yuan Continent on the Ziying sword. As he returned, the tunnel trembled more and more violently. The original several-meter-long tunnel had expanded to three hundred meters. Even with Jianchen's strength, he needed to be careful to pass through this distance, just in case he fell into an empty space.
Jianchen returned to the Tian Yuan Continent safely. As soon as he emerged from the tunnel, Poseidon, Tie Ta, Yang Lie, Feng Xiaotian, and Guihai Yidao immediately surrounded him.
"A total of six Receival experts came this time. I killed one of them and the other five retreated," Jianchen said nonchalantly.
However, the shock that his calm words brought to the hearts of the people present was undoubtedly very strong.
He had faced off against six Receival experts alone in the tunnel, yet not only had he not been defeated, he had even killed one of them.
