"Jianchen, don't go too far. Even if Jun Kong is in the wrong, he doesn't deserve to die. Moreover, you've already beaten him into such a state. You should be satisfied. If you continue to push your luck, it won't bring you any benefits. You need to know when to advance and when to retreat. Only then can you live in peace in the Saints' World, "said Lian Qi in hopes of persuading Jianchen to stop.
After all, Jianchen's identity was different now. He had the support of the Martial Soul lineage. Unless he had no other choice, he really did not want to clash with Jianchen.
"Are you threatening me?" Jianchen's presence suddenly changed. Powerful sword Qi radiated from him, and with a flip of his hand, the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways appeared in his hand. It shone with enchanting starlight.
"If you insist on protecting Jun Kong, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy," Jianchen said coldly. He directly expressed his stance with his actions.
"Lian Qi …" Gu Na called out gently from the other side. She was also worried that the Martial Soul lineage would be forced over once the matter escalated.
If it was just Jianchen alone, it would only be a small matter no matter what he did in the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. He would not be able to involve the upper echelon of the sect.
However, once the Martial Soul lineage descended, the matter would truly escalate.
"I raised Jun Kong single-handedly. I've poured far too much effort into him. How can I just watch him be harmed by a lunatic?" Lian Qi snorted coldly. His voice was firm, which also expressed his stance.
"Mu 'er …" Gu Na looked at Shangguan Mu' er again. She hoped that Shangguan Mu 'er could stop this from happening and prevent it from escalating.
Shangguan Mu 'er declined politely.
Her stance was the same as Jianchen's. No matter what Jianchen did, she would always stand on Jianchen's side. She would not plead for Jun Kong.
All of a sudden, a burst of powerful sword will burst out. The formless sword will filled the space, vast and endless. It seemed to have turned the space into a domain of sword qi.
Jianchen struck out. He dared not hold back at all against a Chaotic Prime. He used his full strength right from the start, directly using the Ultimate Way of the Sword. He used his will to control a region of space, becoming the ruler there. The life and death of everything was under his control.
"What a powerful sword intent! What kind of Sword Dao did he comprehend? Why is it so powerful?!" Lian Qi, Gu Na, and Deng Wenxin shuddered as they were once again amazed by Jianchen's Sword Dao.
This was because they could clearly sense that the power of the Way of the Sword Jianchen was much more powerful than when he fought Ba Bu and Ge Tong.
Indeed, Jianchen had not used his full strength when fighting Ba Bu and Ge Tong. He had only displayed a portion of his strength. However, it was different now. He could only use his full strength against a Chaotic Prime.
His eyes shone with bright, white light like two stars. They shone with dazzling light, and with a thought, space immediately rippled as a terrifying pulse swept towards Jun Kong.
This was an ability he obtained from comprehending the Ultimate Way of the Sword. As long as his sword intent enveloped an area of space, he could kill anyone below the Primordial realm with a single thought.
Of course, he knew that Lian Qi would definitely protect Jun Kong, so he struck out as well when he launched the attack with his mind.
Dazzling stars appeared on the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways one after another. Whenever a star appeared, the power of the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways would increase.
In just a single moment, nine illusionary stars appeared. They fused with the sword, as if they had fused with the god artifact. They shone with hazy starlight as they suddenly stabbed towards Lian Qi.
Jianchen had already pushed the power of the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways to the limit. As he stabbed out, endless starlight drowned him out. From afar, it seemed like nine stars had lined up, piercing through space as shocking sword Qi and ripping it apart.
Lian Qi's face sank. He grabbed Jun Kong with his left hand, and the surging energy of a Chaotic Prime erupted, forming an extremely tough shield of energy that protected Jun Kong. The power of laws also transformed into pulsing musical notes, forming two layers of defence.
Jianchen's power from the Ultimate Way of the Sword was immediately isolated. Under the protection of a Chaotic Prime, he was unable to use his ability to rule with a single thought.
"Jianchen, I must admit that you're extraordinary.
However, you're still an Infinite Prime in the end. There's an entire major realm of cultivation between Infinite Primes and Chaotic Primes. If I want to protect Jun Kong, you won't be able to harm him at all, "Lian Qi said coldly. Dense energy surged out from his right hand, conjuring a huge hand that grabbed the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways.
Thrum!
Trapped, the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways immediately produced a clear thrum, as if the sword spirit was roaring furiously. Afterwards, the starlight on the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways became dazzling. The nine illusionary stars became more and more real as they resisted with all their might.
At the same time, the Chaotic Force within Jianchen surged as well. Destructive Chaotic Force surged out from his neidan, filling every inch of his flesh and cells. He had pushed the power of the Chaotic Body to the limit.
Moreover, he used the Laws of Strength. His arm that gripped the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways suddenly swelled. An explosive power was contained within. He gripped the Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways tightly and swung it.
"Whoosh!"
With the sound of slashing energy, a crack appeared in the hand that Jianchen had condensed from Lian Qi's surging energy. The Nine Star Sword of Heavenly Ways broke free with starlight, and under Jianchen's swing, it slashed towards Lian Qi from above. The powerful sword Qi seemed to have turned into a silver river, enveloping Lian Qi with blinding light.
"So powerful. His strike has completely reached the level of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime. It's even close to the Eighth Heavenly Layer!" Deng Wenxin and Gu Na who watched Jianchen from one side were unsettled. They had already overestimated Jianchen, but only now did they discover that their understanding of Jianchen was nowhere near enough. He was actually so powerful.
Just how many years had he cultivated for?
"Jianchen, what you're doing is pointless. The difference between Infinite Primes and Chaotic Primes is just too great. Even if you're extraordinary, you're just wasting your strength." Lian Qi remained calm. A jade flute also appeared in his right hand. He gently waved the flute and let out a shrill sound.
The sound was a soundwave attack. It formed a faint ripple that nullified Jianchen's river of sword Qi. Afterwards, he placed the jade flute beside his mouth and began to play it gently.
Lian Qi was one of the four ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Divine Sound. Direct attacks were not his forte. His strongest technique was music.
The whistle could pierce through metal and rock. Nothing could stop it. It could pierce through all barriers and reach the heart.
Jianchen immediately felt his head become heavy when he heard the sound of the flute. At that moment, he felt like all of his energy had been drained away. He became drowsy as his body gradually became limp and powerless.
Lian Qi's Way of Music was incomparable to Jun Kong's. Even though he had not comprehended the Heart of Life and Death, his attacks with music as a Chaotic Prime were like the demonic sounds of death to all Infinite Primes.
However, at this moment, the faint sound of a zither rang out. Shangguan Mu 'er sat in the air. She took out the Zither of the Demonic Cry and began to play it as well.
Her zither specially targeted Lian Qi's flute. The zither and flute constantly collided. The zither was destroyed, while the flute's power plummeted.
With Shangguan Mu 'er's cultivation as a Divine King, she did not possess the power to weaken Lian Qi's flute. However, she had comprehended the Heart of the Demonic and Divine, and she used the Zither of the Demonic Cry that the Third Ancestor had left behind.
As a result, she possessed the power to block Lian Qi's flute slightly.
