Jiang Liechen was not the only one who was shocked by this move, the righteous Faction people were also shocked. But they thought that perhaps he had some other secret technique to kill the devil himself. Who would have thought that they heard him say, "In the past you spared my life and only crippled my martial arts, advising me to cherish my life. Thank goodness you said those words, otherwise the Old Beggar, who believes in 'a scholar prefers death to humiliation', would have committed suicide on the spot. If that had happened, it would have been impossible for us to talk face to face. At that time you might have done it unintentionally, or perhaps you wanted to spare my life so that you could slowly humiliate me. But in any case, I am not an ungrateful person. I am grateful that you spared my life, so today I will also let you go. Consider it as me repaying you with my life. From now on we don't owe each other anything. My upper body's martial arts have more or less recovered to its original state, so much so that my internal energy is even stronger than before. I will use your words from that day to advise you: as long as you do your best, nothing is impossible. Hierarch Jiang, you are at most in your twenties, still very young. It is not too late for you to find another way out, to make a new beginning. "
The righteous Faction people were clamoring. This time their angry voices drowned out the whispered discussion. "Yu Zhanglao, you are so muddle-headed. This devil's nature is hard to change. If he had listened to other people's advice, he would not be like this. If you connive with this devil, you are conniving him to harm millions of lives! "Everybody was extremely angry, but they seemed to have forgotten that the one who restrained Jiang Liechen a moment ago was none other than Yu Shuanglin.
An imperceptible killing intent flitted across Jiang Liechen's eyes. He took a step back toward Yu Shuanglin's side. With a bitter smile he said, "Senior Yu, you want me to start all over again, but these people are eyeing me covetously, insisting on killing me immediately. They are not willing to give me a chance." While saying this, he spat out several more mouthfuls of blood.
Yu Shuanglin lowered his gaze and sighed. "You have to fight for this chance yourself. Think about how many heinous crimes you have committed; you can't blame others for hating you. Whether or not you can make your enemies forget their former enmity and forgive you will depend on your own ability. This is also a crucial step in whether or not you can change your appearance. I have already said that you and I don't owe each other anything, and I won't help you again. Because even though I spared you, I can't wait for you to die immediately so that you can repay the blood debt you owe me. Next time, if you do evil again and fall into my hands, I will not be merciful! "
Jiang Liechen smiled bitterly. "Is that so? It seems like my sins are truly unforgivable … "
A disciple shouted, "You devil, stop pretending to be pitiful. It's too late to admit your mistake now! Even if you kneel and kowtow, we will not forgive you! Prepare to die! "
Jiang Liechen's expression suddenly changed. His tone turned fierce as he said, "I don't need your forgiveness either!" Crossing his palms, he suddenly turned around and heavily struck Yu Shuanglin's head. Yu Shuanglin's eyes widened, and the long sword he was using to support himself fell from his hands. His face was filled with disbelief, grief, indignation, and unwillingness. He didn't expect that the person he had just let go would turn around and assassinate him. There was actually such a thing in the world that repaid kindness with enmity, and it was happening right before his eyes. It was a pity that he would never have the chance to fight this injustice again.
Jiang Liechen said, "Being merciful to one's enemy is being cruel to oneself. If you don't kill others, they will kill you. You should have learned this lesson by now, right? But didn't you always want to kill An Yesun? Now that he is dead, you can go in peace. "
A trickle of blood flowed down from the corner of Yu Shuanglin's mouth. He thought about how even though he didn't personally kill Can Sha Xing, he had seen him die with his own eyes before he died. Elder Peng's death had been avenged, and he could be said to have no more regrets in this life. The top of his head had already been shattered, and his mind was scattered. His spirit was gone, but his eyes were still wide open, staring straight ahead as if he was condemning the Devil Sect's crimes. Jiang Liechen couldn't bear this all-pervasive gaze, and roughly pressed down on his eyelids.
Everybody saw how heartless Jiang Liechen was, how could he treat his savior in such a way? How could they not feel the anger in their hearts? Li Yijie's sword trembled slightly, he gnashed his teeth and said, "Jiang Liechen, I have never seen such a despicable and shameless bastard like you!" Jiang Liechen coldly said, "You think you can bring him back to life by cursing him like that? Originally we were all living in peace, but you bunch of righteous dog thieves came here to make trouble for no reason, disrupting the situation at the most crucial moment of this deity's training, causing me to lose the golden opportunity to become a demon! You also forced me to kill my own brother with my own hands. None of you should even think about leaving this place alive! "
Li Yijie said, "Are you talking in your sleep? Open your eyes and look at the disparity in numbers between the two sides! I know you are heavily injured, but there are so many of us against one of you, who do you think will die? "Jiang Liechen said," So what if there are more of us? It's useless even if there are many of you. You are just a bunch of good-for-nothings. What can you do to me with just a few pieces of scrap metal? Who is going to die first? "
Although the righteous faction people were shouting loudly, they were suspicious that the smoke was poisonous. They were afraid that during the battle it would affect their internal energy and accelerate the poison's reaction, which would be detrimental to them. Therefore, Li Yijie's cursing grew louder and louder, hoping to arouse the anger of the people around them so that they would fight the demon head to the death.
Jiang Liechen coldly looked at the people who were waving their fists and brandishing their weapons, but nobody dared to step forward. With a sneer he said, "The righteous faction idiots only know how to bark like a mad dog …" He had not finished speaking when suddenly he felt as if his chest was struck by an iron hammer. Three people in ragged clothes stood in front of him, each one sending out both palms, their internal energy was not wasted. Two beggars stood behind him, their swords piercing his back from both sides.
These five people were Beggar Clan disciples. Seeing that nobody stepped forward for a long time, in their anger they no longer placed any hope on these righteous people who only knew superficial martial art. They were the first to launch a surprise attack, wanting to avenge Yu Shuanglin. This style was related to the Beggar Clan's formation, which they were familiar with during their martial art training. Using this style to deal with Jiang Liechen would be effective in one move. Seeing this scene, the righteous faction people burst into thunderous cheers, shouting and cheering in unison.
Jiang Liechen's blood gushed out like a spring, the wound on his ribs ruptured again, making it difficult for him to breathe. His back was also pierced very deeply, his blood did not stop flowing. The palm power that hit his chest shook his heart, he felt his spleen, lungs and liver were shattered. His internal energy rushed out again, crashing around his several acupoints, accelerating his blood circulation.
Usually when he was training, he pursued quick success, so he often used his internal energy to attack his muscles and veins to stimulate his blood circulation. This time his internal energy was not under his control, it was flowing around several specific channels and collaterals as usual, producing the opposite effect. On the one hand, not only more than half of his blood had flowed out, the internal and external energy mixed together seemed to squeeze him into a bloody pulp.
Li Yijie called out, "In a moment of soft-heartedness Yu Zhanglao spared this demon head, but now he has suffered a fatal disaster! Heroes, we can only regard this man as the Asura from hell, we must not have the slightest bit of kindness. Let's go help our friends from the Beggar Clan! " By this time everybody had been standing in the smoke for a long time, nobody felt the slightest bit of discomfort, they all believed that they were not poisoned, and even if the poison did exist, it would not be immediately triggered. Since they could guarantee their own safety, they could not miss this golden opportunity to render meritorious service. Raising their weapons, they charged forward.
Jiang Liechen and the five men were deadlocked in the same position for a long time, gradually he felt dizzy and his vision blurred. If he did not deal with them, he would lose too much blood and would not be able to hold on. Much less the righteous faction people were waiting for a group of people to come and take advantage of him. While he was unable to move, they would take advantage of the chaos to stab him. Even if his martial art skill was higher, it would be useless. He carefully observed the crowd, looking for gaps in the crowd. At the same time he estimated that he was standing on the Hierarch's throne, trying to figure out how to evade these people's attack and reach his goal. Silently he accumulated his remaining internal energy, risking aggravation of his injury, he sent out his palm toward the three men in front of him.
The three men did not expect that he still had energy left to fight back. His strength was not only tyrannical, it also pushed back the power of their own palms, as if several forces were attacking together. Their own cultivation was not as profound as Jiang Liechen's, plus they were very close to him, so they had nowhere to hide. They were sent flying and died in midair.
Seeing the situation was not good, the two men with swords wanted to withdraw their swords to evade, but Jiang Liechen did not give them the opportunity to escape. He quickly turned around, and taking advantage of the fact that his strength had not dissipated, he waved his arm and broke their swords. Then he picked up his sword and swept it across the two men's throats. Taking advantage of the fact that the crowd was stunned by this scene, he did not hesitate. Following his previous plan, he staggered toward the throne, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Everybody was afraid of his momentum, watching him pass by, nobody dared to stop him. A few timid people even shrank back and made way for him, staring at his shadow with frightened eyes.
Jiang Liechen's vision had already turned dark. He forced himself to walk several steps, but his legs felt like they were carrying a thousand-catty burden, so that his feet did not leave the ground. His eyelids were getting heavier, his whole body was aching, his bones felt like they were falling apart, it was difficult for him to exert strength. Finally his strength was exhausted, his knees went soft, he slowly slid down and fell to the ground. Immediately his head tilted to one side, pressing against the bulge in the crevice of the throne. From his chin to his neck, and then to his chest, a pool of blood had accumulated.
Everyone had witnessed and experienced many deadly battles. At this moment, they still could not believe that the danger had been eliminated. After waiting for a long time, Lu Qian was the first to ask the question in a trembling voice, "Is … is he dead?"
Everybody wanted to know the answer to this question, but nobody had enough courage to go to Jiang Liechen's side to examine him. In many people's hearts, they thought that even if this devil was dead, he could still take their lives.
Hall Leader Xue was the most impatient. As long as he could confirm the news of Jiang Liechen's death, he would succeed the Hierarch position according to his agreement with the Cult. This was a wish he had longed for for many years. If it could be realized as soon as possible, he would be overjoyed. But it was precisely because of this that he had to be extra cautious, to prevent another mistake from happening. He could not wait for others to take the risk, so he could only order his followers, "You, go take a look. Is he really dead?"
The follower cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to disobey the new Hierarch's orders. He could only tremble in fear and step forward, secretly praying in his mind, "Hierarch Jiang, please rest in peace. This subordinate was forced to do this. Even if you are haunting me, please don't make trouble for this subordinate." At the same time, he stretched out his trembling hand to feel for Jiang Liechen's breath. After a long time, he replied, "Reporting to Hall Leader Xue … he … he's not breathing!"
Hall Leader Xue was a meticulous person. He had ordered his subordinate to act as the vanguard only to test the waters and ensure safety. But everything had to be done personally to be at ease. He waved his hand to dismiss the follower and personally went forward to check. He could not help but be delighted, "He … he … this demon is really dead!" He turned around and pointed at the follower, "What did you just call me?" The follower was quick to react, saying, "Hall Leader Xue … no, no, Hierarch Xue, Hierarch Xue, subordinate pays his respects to Hierarch Xue Sheng!"
Hall Leader Xue laughed heartily, clapping his hands, "Excellent! Excellent! No wonder I felt uncomfortable hearing the title before. After this Xue's surname, I must add the three words' Saint Hierarch '. Only then will it feel comfortable! "Lu Qian snorted disdainfully, sneering," It can't be that simple, right? Did you forget something? "
Hall Leader Xue was reminded that the Righteous Faction had contributed a lot as well, but he forgot to thank them. Taking large strides into the field, Tuan Tuan cupped his fists and said, "Friends of the Righteous Faction, it is all thanks to your help that we were able to deal with the traitors of the Cult and help me ascend to the position of Hierarch. From now on, the Sacrificial Shadow Cult and all of you will be one family, the closest of friends. We will not invade each other and will share weal and woe together. Whoever dares to break this peace in the Cult will be punished with capital punishment! It is already late, so I ask all of you to stay here for the night. Early tomorrow morning, I will send someone to lead all of you away. "
Lu Qian sneered, "What, we came here specially to deal with the traitors of the Cult? Once the matter is over, you are in such a hurry to chase us away? "Hall Leader Xue smiled apologetically," Of course not. Master Lu, I originally thought that you were not interested in participating in my enthronement ceremony. Since all of you are interested … "
