Mount Tianyuan had returned to its peaceful state. The frightening energy fluctuations had disappeared, and the sky had returned to normal. Those geniuses who were lucky enough to survive on Mount Tianyuan nearly burst into tears. Dozens of them had come to participate in the Gathering of Skynet, but now, only less than ten of them were left, and each of them looked more miserable than the last.
The way they looked at Shangguan Yiqing had become extremely vicious, and their eyes were filled with hatred. If not for Jiang Chen breaking the Skynet Formation, all of them would have ended up dead.
Those warriors who were watching the battle from outside of Mount Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh. The way they looked at Jiang Chen had completely changed. Although they had no idea what had happened just now, they were sure that Jiang Chen had broken Shangguan Yiqing's Skynet Formation, bringing peace back to Mount Tianyuan. Not only that, Shangguan Yiqing had been severely injured.
"Amazing! This Jiang Chen is truly a monstrous genius. He was able to turn the situation around in such a deadly situation."
"He's finished! Shangguan Yiqing is finished! He just shot himself in the foot!"
"Serves him right! This guy is so cruel and merciless! His death will make us feel better! This bastard held the Gathering of Skynet, and for his own selfish reasons, he has harmed so many people!"
… …
Many people were extremely angry. No matter what, what Shangguan Yiqing had done today was really unkind! For his own benefits, he had harmed everyone!
Above the ruined Mount Tianyuan, Shangguan Yiqing was trying his best to stabilize his trembling body. He stared at Jiang Chen with his bloodshot eyes, which were staring at him with a look of disbelief.
"Impossible! This is impossible! How did you see through my formation?!"
Shangguan Yiqing's face was filled with shock. He couldn't accept what had just happened. The formation he had set up was extremely exquisite, and even an ordinary grandmaster of formations wouldn't be able to see through it. However, Jiang Chen had seen through it, and he had even broken it with such ease!
"Hahaha! Shangguan Yiqing, funny, this is really funny!"
Xuan Yuzi, who was like an arrow at the end of its flight, actually burst out into laughter when he saw Shangguan Yiqing's fate. It was as if he had just gotten rid of all his frustration, and even if he were to die right now, he would be able to die in peace.
"Shangguan Yiqing, you're like an arrow at the end of its flight, do you have any other tricks up your sleeves?"
Jiang Chen said with an indifferent tone. Shangguan Yiqing had suffered a severe backlash from the formation, and there was no way he could continue fighting. Xuan Yuzi was in the same situation as well. If he wanted to kill both of them right now, it would be as easy as blowing off dust.
"Jiang Chen, if you let me go today, I'll ask the Clan Chief for permission. From now on, the enmity between you and the Shangguan Clan will be written off. What do you think? You should know how strong the Shangguan Clan is. You've already been ordered to kill by the Shangguan Clan, and if you kill me today, the Shangguan Clan will definitely kill you. "
Shangguan Yiqing said with a smile on his face. In his opinion, this condition was extremely attractive, and Jiang Chen had no reason to reject him.
"Is that so? I'm really scared. "
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"That's right! Everyone is afraid of our Shangguan Clan's revenge!"
Shangguan Yiqing had a complacent expression on his face.
"I really don't know why you can still show off your sense of superiority in this situation."
Jiang Chen's tone suddenly changed. His body appeared in front of Shangguan Yiqing like a ghost, and the longsword in his hand pierced through Shangguan Yiqing's body. He didn't want to waste any more time.
"You, you …"
Shangguan Yiqing was struck dumb. Sensing the life force in his body leaving him, only now did he realize how cold and frightening the feeling of death could be. Only at this last moment did Shangguan Yiqing realize what kind of man Jiang Chen was; he was a man who would never give his enemies any chances.
"I won't even blink an eye to kill someone like you. Don't worry, I'll return the Shangguan Clan's order to kill you. Just wait for the rest of the family members to reunite with you down there."
Jiang Chen slowly pulled out his longsword. When the tip of the sword left Shangguan Yiqing's body, Shangguan Yiqing closed his eyes, and his dead body fell down from the sky.
After killing Shangguan Yiqing, Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Xuan Yuzi, who was covered in blood.
"I know you won't let me go. Don't worry, I won't beg for mercy like Shangguan Yiqing did."
Xuan Yuzi smiled bitterly. He had already understood Jiang Chen's methods. As an enemy, his fate had already been decided. In fact, if it weren't for Jiang Chen, he would have been killed by Shangguan Yiqing just now. It was Jiang Chen who let him live a little longer, allowing him to see Shangguan Yiqing die in front of him. To him, this was the greatest relief.
"Xuan Yuzi, you're a failure. Joining hands with your enemy, this is a sign that your brain has been squeezed by a door. But, you're a man with courage. However, I have to kill you, because you wanted to kill me from the very beginning."
Jiang Chen said with an indifferent tone.
"Do it, this is my, Xuan Yuzi's, fate. If you were the one who fell into my hands today, I, Xuan Yuzi, would definitely kill you."
Xuan Yuzi closed his eyes, waiting for Jiang Chen's sword to slash across his neck and decapitate him.
Jiang Chen took a step forward and placed his palm on top of Xuan Yuzi's head. A stream of energy penetrated into Xuan Yuzi's Divine Sense, completely shattering it.
Xuan Yuzi let out a muffled groan, and his life force was gone. His body fell down from the sky. Jiang Chen unleashed a gentle stream of energy, using it to cushion Xuan Yuzi's body, allowing him to slowly fall down.
"I'll leave your corpse intact."
After saying that, Jiang Chen swaggered off. A man who wasn't afraid of death would always be admired by others. Although Xuan Yuzi was his enemy, he still made Jiang Chen feel a sense of respect. Therefore, Jiang Chen decided to leave Xuan Yuzi's corpse intact. As for Xuan Yuzi's severed arm, it was Shangguan Yiqing's doing, and it had nothing to do with him.
Looking at Jiang Chen's disappearing figure, the crowd couldn't help but sigh. He had come alone, and now he had swaggered off. He had become the biggest winner of the Gathering of Skynet. Two of the Jian Province's top geniuses had fallen.
Jiang Chen had used his own methods to prove to the crowd who was the number one genius of the new generation.
When the few surviving geniuses saw that Jiang Chen had actually spared their lives, they secretly wiped off their cold sweat. Their faces were filled with joy. It was as if they had just taken a trip to the gates of hell. After experiencing the life and death situation today, they had finally understood something. In their hearts, they kept reminding themselves that from now on, no matter what, they could never become enemies with Jiang Chen. It was truly a terrifying thing.
Not long after Jiang Chen swaggered off, a figure descended from the skies above Mount Tianyuan. It was an old man, with an imposing appearance. However, when he saw the scene on Mount Tianyuan, his expression instantly changed.
Soon after, the old man found Shangguan Yiqing's dead body. He immediately cried out in shock, "Yiqing!"
The old man's name was Shangguan Ying, and he was Shangguan Yiqing's grandfather. He was also a highly respected elder of the Shangguan Clan, and his cultivation base was incredible. He had broken through to the Late Combat Soul realm, and although he had just broken through to the Late Combat Soul realm not long ago, it was still a very frightening cultivation base. With such a cultivation base, he could do whatever he wanted in the Eastern Continent.
Many people knew about the Gathering of Skynet, and Shangguan Ying knew about it as well. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, because just like most people, there was no way that Jiang Chen would show up. Since both superpowers had given the order to kill him, Jiang Chen would try his best to hide, and there was no way he would take the risk of showing himself.
Therefore, Shangguan Ying and all the upper echelons of the Shangguan Clan didn't really care about the Gathering of Skynet. Not long ago, he sensed the energy fluctuations on Mount Tianyuan, so he came here to check it out. However, he never expected to see such a scene.
"Where is Jiang Chen?"
Shangguan Ying randomly grabbed a warrior and shouted out.
"Ran … he ran away!"
The warrior was trembling with fear. The fury of a Late Combat Soul warrior, the aura unleashed by him was not something that ordinary men could withstand.
"Where did he run to? How long has he been gone? "
Shangguan Ying's eyes had turned red, and he was extremely furious. Shangguan Yiqing was the number one genius of the Shangguan Clan, and he was his own grandson. He was treated like a precious treasure, and he was Shangguan Ying's biggest pride in his life. Shangguan Yiqing had always been able to hold his head high in front of all the other elders.
Furthermore, Shangguan Yiqing was a very talented man, especially in the field of formations. He had surpassed all the great warriors of the older generation, and it was very difficult to find a match for him in the entire Eastern Continent. If nothing went wrong, he would have a high chance of breaking through to the Combat King realm in the future. But now, he was killed in this desolate mountain range, and this made Shangguan Ying feel extremely sad.
To put it bluntly, the Shangguan Clan's loss of Shangguan Yiqing was much greater than the loss of all the geniuses they lost on the Island of Ice.
"That way, he's been gone for a while."
The warrior pointed his finger in the direction where Jiang Chen had gone.
"Damn brat, I'll definitely tear you into a million pieces! I won't let you leave the Jian Province alive today!"
Shangguan Ying was like a raging lion. He put away Shangguan Yiqing's corpse, then disappeared into the horizon, chasing after Jiang Chen.
"Fuck you, what's so great about you? I curse your entire Shangguan Clan to be killed by Jiang Chen! Pui!"
The cultivator was sweating profusely as he wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead. He was really scared to death just now. If Shangguan Ying had vented the pain of losing his grandson on him and killed him with a single slap, wouldn't he have been treated unjustly?
Shangguan Ying madly chased after Jiang Chen for two hours, but he still couldn't find any trace of him. After that, he used a communication talisman to send a message to the Shangguan Clan, asking them to send out all their men to stop Jiang Chen.
In just two hours, what happened on Mount Tianyuan had spread across the entire Jian Province. Just like Shangguan Yiqing, Xuan Yuzi's death was a heavy blow to the Myriad Sword Sect. The sect's biggest hope had fallen, and this was a loss that couldn't be recovered.
