One Man Guards the Pass, Ten Thousand Cannot Break Through

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The fire snakes from the bunkers and hidden fortifications continued to attack the Giant Bear.

Yet the large-caliber machine-gun rounds struck the Giant Bear as though they were hitting steel, having no effect whatsoever.

Just as the Giant Bear prepared to attack the bunker, it saw Jiang Chuan charging toward it.

"Roar!"

A roar erupted from the Giant Bear, and strands of Silver White light emerged across the surface of its massive body.

"Demonic qi manifestation!"

Song Zhiyi's expression changed drastically as she cried out, "Jiang Chuan, this bear demon is at the Three Realms Peak. It's about to break through to the fourth realm!"

"Three Realms Peak? That's exactly the kind of opponent I want!"

Jiang Chuan grinned as Silver White lightning surged from his dantian and coiled around his great spear.

Long Sky Corroding Lightning!

The nearly three-meter-long great spear became a streak of Silver White electricity in Jiang Chuan's hand, tearing through the sky as it shot straight toward the Giant Bear.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The Giant Bear gathered the Silver White radiance in its palm. Ringing clangs came from within, like blades being drawn from their sheaths, as it slapped down at Jiang Chuan.

Bang!

Like two cars colliding head-on, Jiang Chuan's great spear pierced straight through the Giant Bear's palm and, without losing momentum, stabbed toward its chest.

"Roar!!!"

Grayish-white blood splattered as a pained howl burst from the Giant Bear's mouth.

Jiang Chuan flicked his right arm upward, and the spear blade swept from below to above, cleaving the Giant Bear in two from its chest to its head.

Boom!

The massive body over five meters tall crashed to the ground.

"A bear demon at the Three Realms Peak just... just died like that?!" Song Zhiyi could scarcely believe it.

Kang Bo and the others were also stunned. Of them all, Meng Nanxi was the most shocked.

"Lightning! Jiang Chuan cultivated Wrath of the Firmament to completion so quickly!"

"Wrath of the Firmament truly deserves to be called a peerless cultivation art. My Kui Niu Divine Spear now is probably no weaker than Kui Niu Divine Spear paired with Thunder Sound Profound Art."

Seeing how easily he had killed a Giant Bear at the Three Realms Peak, a flicker of delight appeared in Jiang Chuan's eyes as well.

"Roar!"

After the steel gate was smashed open, even with the bunkers and hidden fortifications continuously spewing fire snakes, many demonic beasts still charged through in blood-soaked waves.

No sooner had the Giant Bear fallen than a wild donkey over three meters long charged at Jiang Chuan.

The wild donkey's fur was dark red, while smoke curled around its muzzle and nostrils, making it look like a lump of blazing coal.

Facing Jiang Chuan, the wild donkey opened its mouth to spit flames, but Jiang Chuan reacted a step faster.

Angry Thunder Soul Severing!

Jiang Chuan swung his great spear, like a bolt of Silver White lightning splitting down from the firmament.

Splurt!

The wild donkey's head exploded outright. Bright red blood sprayed everywhere, dyeing Jiang Chuan's black armor crimson.

"Kill!"

Watching the demonic beasts continue to surge toward this place without end, Jiang Chuan shouted and charged forward with his great spear.

Piercing Cloud Startling Thunder! Long Sky Corroding Lightning! Spinning Thunder Sound! Fatal Thunderbolt!

The great spear turned into a dazzling cold gleam in Jiang Chuan's hands. Nearly every swing became a life-taking thunderbolt, relentlessly reaping the lives of demonic beasts one after another.

"What a sight—one man guarding the pass, while ten thousand cannot break through!" Meng Nanxi could not help but marvel as she watched Jiang Chuan standing in the passage alone, blocking the demonic beasts charging forward one after another.

"Jiang Chuan really has a few tricks up his sleeve."

Song Zhiyan nodded. "He alone should be enough here. Let's go support the other areas."

Meng Nanxi and the others immediately agreed, though they ultimately left Kang Bo behind.

In Song Zhiyi's words, if Jiang Chuan ran out of strength, Kang Bo could step in and hold the line for a while, allowing Jiang Chuan to catch his breath.

Kang Bo looked at the vigorous Jiang Chuan with a baffled expression.

"I think you should lure in another few hundred demonic beasts. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't get a chance to be useful."

Everyone: "..."

Splurt!

Green blood splashed everywhere. Jiang Chuan looked at the giant centipede lying on the ground, and the fishy stench was even worse than stinky tofu, making him frown tightly.

"You were ugly while alive, and now that you're dead, you're polluting the air. A demonic beast like you deserves to die ten thousand deaths!"

After pulling the great spear from the centipede's body, Jiang Chuan noticed that some of the demonic beasts before him were retreating, while others leaped onto the ground between the trenches.

They were faintly forming an encirclement around him.

"Kid, these beasts are too clever! Retreat now!"

The machine gunner in the bunker shouted at Jiang Chuan.

"They are quite clever, but before absolute strength, it's all empty talk."

Jiang Chuan spoke full of killing intent, raising his great spear high with both hands and taking a stance to sweep it sideways.

"Kid, we only brought you here to see some blood. We didn't really mean for you to fight in a bloodbath."

As a deep voice sounded, five streams of green light descended from the sky.

Looking closely, they were not five streams of green light at all, but five green tree roots.

The green roots pierced into the bodies of five demonic beasts like spears.

In an instant, the flesh and blood of the five demonic beasts was drained away, leaving behind nothing but their hides.

Jiang Chuan looked up and saw a middle-aged man in military uniform appear in midair.

The middle-aged man had a square face and a burly frame. Most eye-catching of all was the Palm-Sized, entirely green sapling in his hand.

"Is this also a Dao foundation?"

Jiang Chuan looked curiously at the green sapling.

"That's right. This is my Heaven Rank low-grade Dao foundation, the Bloodthirsty Demonic Tree. Not only can it unleash protective divine light, but it can also absorb the Essence, Qi, Spirit of living beings to restore my Essence, Qi, Spirit."

"Dao foundations truly are wondrous!" Jiang Chuan exclaimed.

He had continuously slain demonic beasts and looked completely uninjured, but in truth, he had expended quite a bit of spiritual power.

If another one or two hundred demonic beasts came, even if he did not collapse from exhaustion, his spiritual power would be depleted, leaving him unable to use Falling Cloud Thunder.

If the Bloodthirsty Demonic Tree replenished him, though, forget one or two hundred—even one or two thousand demonic beasts would not be beyond his ability to kill!

What kind of Dao foundation will I obtain when I Forge Dao Foundation? Jiang Chuan grew ever more expectant and curious about his own Dao foundation.

"Ji Xuan, you have time to stand over there watching the show, yet you won't come help me kill this leopard demon? If it gets away, let's see how you explain it to Meng Pengyuan!"

Qu Shi's furious shout soon rang out from afar.

Ji Xuan, holding the Bloodthirsty Demonic Tree in his hand, sighed. "Not even half of your Three Thousand Immortal Swords have appeared. You took the resources and still won't work. The commander must have lost his mind to call you here for help."

After saying that, Ji Xuan became a streak of green light and shot toward the leopard demon fighting Qu Shi.

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Emerald radiance soared into the sky. Hundreds upon thousands of immortal swords rang in unison, the earth trembled, and the shockwaves whipped up fierce winds that tore great trees out by their roots.

Bang!

Jiang Chuan swung his great spear, cleaving apart the object blown toward him. As he watched the two people and one demon battling, his eyes brimmed with envy.

"If I had such power, the Blood Sea Divine Cult would be nothing to fear!"

A few minutes later, the battle between the two people and one demon neared its end.

Facing Ji Xuan and Qu Shi, the sixth-realm leopard demon did not even have a chance to flee before being slain outright.

"Clean up the battlefield," Ji Xuan had just given the order.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan shook the blood from his spear blade and began selecting meat suitable for roasting or hotpot.

"Roar!!!"

At that moment, an earth-shaking roar rang out.

The next moment, Jiang Chuan felt the ground beneath his feet tremble.
