The reason Jiang Lai had come to the Evil Peak Sword Meet was because of Nie Tian.
Originally, he had planned to kill Nie Tian with Cang Lan and the others' strength. However, he had never expected Nie Tian's strength to be so strong that it had far exceeded his expectations.
Nie Tian's battle prowess in the top eight battles had made Jiang Lai even more determined to kill him.
Now that he thought about it, Nie Tian was only an early Overgod, and yet he was stronger than a late Paramount God like Cang Lan.
After all, Celestial Wave wasn't an ordinary late Paramount God. He was a very strong one, and was even strong enough to fight peak Paramount Gods.
Nie Tian was only an early Overgod, but had managed to defeat a late Paramount God. That was a talent that couldn't even be described as heaven-defying. He was a monster that shouldn't even exist.
Jiang Lai had a feeling that if he were given a few more years to become a Paramount God, he would definitely be able to fight peak Paramount Gods with ease.
There was no way he was going to let Nie Tian grow any stronger!
At this moment, he was determined to kill Nie Tian in front of everyone, even if he had to be shameless to the very end.
He had a premonition that if he didn't kill Nie Tian today, Nie Tian would become his worst nightmare in the future.
Now that he was determined to kill him, Jiang Lai wasn't going to wait any longer.
Even if it meant offending the Wind and Cloud Alliance, or even provoking them to retaliate, he wouldn't hesitate.
Never could he have imagined that Gongsun Shengji would turn on him for the sake of Nie Tian.
He was very curious to know what Nie Tian had that Gongsun Shengji would do such a thing.
"Jiang Lai, if you want to kill Nie Tian, you'll have to do it over my dead body!" Gongsun Shengji was enraged as well. His huge body released a majestic Sword Will, making him look like a huge sword that stood between the heavens and the earth.
Not to mention the fact that Nie Tian could save his life, Jiang Lai's actions alone were already intolerable to Gongsun Sheng.
Whether or not Nie Tian was qualified to be the Sword Chief was a matter of the Shenwu Sword Pagoda. Yet, Jiang Lai jumped out and said what to do, which was a slap in Gongsun Shengji's face.
Gongsun Sheng had always been wary of the Forbidden Blood Seal in his body, which was why he had tolerated it time and time again. However, now that Jiang Lai had forced him to this step, he could no longer tolerate it.
If you want to fight, then let's fight. At worst, I'll just die!
"Gongsun Shengji, you think too highly of yourself. Do you really think you can fight me just because you've reached the Legendary Realm of Sword and Martial Arts as One?" Cold chuckled Jiang Lai. Soon after, with a jerk of his body, rays of golden light immediately radiated from his body, instantly condensing into an armoured giant that wrapped around his body.
"The Xingtian Armour!" Seeing this, Nie Tian frowned and cried out in his heart.
He had seen this on Jiang Yulang before. It was the Xingtian Armour of the Jiang Clan's Xingtian Bloodline.
However, Jiang Lai's Xingtian Armour was many times more powerful than Jiang Yulang's. The golden armoured giant was tens of thousands of meters tall, towering like a mountain in the sky. It was as if it was announcing to the world that he was the ruler of this world.
Gongsun Sheng's eyes narrowed and he could not help but feel embarrassed.
He could feel the enormous aura of the Xingtian Armour. It was definitely not something he could compete with at the moment.
"Gongsun Sheng, I will defeat you in one move!" At this moment, Jiang Lai's voice was heard. The Xingtian Armour smashed down. The giant golden fist was like a ball of golden flame, causing the air to tremble.
Gongsun Sheng's expression changed slightly. He immediately attacked with his sword, and a sword shadow whizzed out.
Boom! Crack crack crack … The moment the golden fist and the sword shadow collided, the sword shadow could not withstand a single blow. After a loud bang, it collapsed.
"Ah!" A bloodcurdling scream rang out as Gongsun Sheng was sent flying backward, the void behind him dyed red with blood.
"Exalted God-Sword Lord!" Nie Tian couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that Gongsun Sheng would be unable to withstand a single punch from Jiang Lai.
Although Gongsun Sheng had the forbidden blood seal in him, his battle prowess far surpassed that of an ordinary peak Paramount God. At the very least, he was stronger than Ghost Martial Wild Sand.
Even so, he couldn't withstand a single punch from Jiang Lai.
That showed how strong Jiang Lai was!
"This …" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, and their expressions were filled with extreme shock.
Gongsun Sheng was known as the number one sword cultivator in the Nine Realms, and yet he couldn't even withstand a single punch from Jiang Lai.
Gongsun Sheng was hovering in midair. Although he hadn't died on the spot, he had been seriously injured and had lost the ability to fight.
Jiang Lai laughed coldly, his face full of disdain. "You think you're worthy of being called the number one sword cultivator in the Nine Realms?"
Then, Jiang Lai turned to look at Nie Tian and said in a Cold voice, "Kid from the Nie Clan, it's your turn."
Nie Tian's expression darkened, and he looked very embarrassed.
If Gongsun Sheng had been defeated by a single punch from Jiang Lai, how could he possibly be a match for him?
"League-Lord Jiang, is he really going to kill Nie Tian?" The eyes of the crowd trembled, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
After all, Jiang Lai's status was very high. Would he really attack Nie Tian in front of so many people?
At this moment, Jiang Lai couldn't care less. He had already made up his mind to kill Nie Tian!
"Jiang Lai, if you want to kill Nie Tian, you'll have to kill me first." However, just at this moment, another voice rang out, before a figure appeared. It was Guiwu Kuang Sha.
"Ghost Martial Wild Sand." When Jiang Lai saw the face of the person in front of him, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Then, he smiled and said, "Looks like the kid from the Nie Clan isn't simple. There are actually so many experts willing to die for him."
"Lord Ghost Martial Wild Sand!" Seeing Ghost Martial Wild Sand appear, Nie Tian couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
Ghost Martial Wild Sand's strength was below Gongsun Sheng's, and it was simply impossible for him to be a match for Jiang Lai.
"Jiang Lai, you're the leader of an alliance. I never thought that you'd be so despicable. How despicable!" Ghost Martial Wild Sand sneered, and said with a provocative face.
"You're courting death!" Jiang Lai's eyes darkened, and his killing intent was revealed. Then, without any hesitation, the Heaven's Punishment Armour smashed down once again, aiming for Ghost Martial Wild Sand's life.
Ghost Martial Wild Sand only knew how terrifying Jiang Lai was when he felt the aura of this punch.
Once this punch landed, Ghost Martial Wild Sand's fate would be certain to be death.
Ghost Martial Wild Sand wanted to put up a final resistance, but just as he was about to make his move, something strange happened.
"Rumble!" In the air, a majestic sword image suddenly pierced through the air, directly smashing against the golden fist image. A rumbling sound erupted in the air, and the golden fist image unexpectedly collapsed together with the sword image, transforming into boundless wild energy that dissipated in the air.
This sudden scene caused everyone to gawk, as they raised their heads to look over, only to see a black-clothed figure appearing high up in the sky.
This black-clothed figure was extremely strong, and was actually able to block Jiang Lai's punch with a single sword. He was far stronger than Gongsun Sheng.
When Ghost Martial Wild Sand saw the face high up in the sky, his gaze couldn't help but tremble, as he cried out a name in his heart, "Windflame Thousand Feathers!"
At this moment, the person that appeared was none other than the Windflame Thousand Feathers!
Ghost Martial Wild Sand had never imagined that the Windflame Thousand Feathers would actually appear at this moment. What's more, he didn't expect that the strength of the Windflame Thousand Feathers would actually reach such a level.
