Battle in the Imperial City (Three): Jiang He's Death

Above the imperial city of Tian Province, there were chaotic currents of primordial energy everywhere.

Streams of colorful energy scattered and flew in all directions in the air.

The city wall between Sky City and Huangcheng is riddled with potholes, and a large section of it has begun to collapse.

The potholes were caused by the battle between Ranked Martial Practitioner, while the collapsed section of the city wall was destroyed by the battle between the Grandmaster Realm.

The difference in the level of martial artist's skill is immediately apparent in the damage caused to the surrounding environment during a battle between a beginner-level martial artist and a master-level martial artist.

This also proves that once a martial artist enters the Grandmaster Realm, their destructive power has reached an inhuman level.

As for the battle between Peak Grandmaster in the sky, the resulting noise and turbulent energy flow were actually much less.

It's not that the destructive power of Peak Grandmaster has decreased, but Peak Grandmaster's control over their own vital energy has reached a level of precision.

The energy released from an attack is usually just right. Even if you release too much energy at once, most of it will return to your body and won't fly around randomly.

This is what makes Peak Grandmaster terrifying—they have an unparalleled grasp of the precise application of their own vital energy.

The three sect leaders of the three sects are now able to achieve this level.

Dao Fan Shangren, on the other hand, was much worse at controlling his vital energy. It was obvious that in many of his moves, some of his vital energy would fly around randomly.

The worst is Jiang Zongquan. It is estimated that he has just reached the requirement of advancing in terms of Yuan Qi and has not yet mastered the precise control of Yuan Qi.

He often overexerts himself, and his moves are fluid, but his reaction speed is slower than Duanmu Haotian's.

Right now, everyone is just stubbornly holding on because they're all at the same level.

Jiang Liu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was even more amazed by the fighting style of these Peak Grandmaster.

He felt he had nowhere to start, so he just watched from the sidelines, waiting for an opportunity.

He knew that the only thing he could do to harm these Peak Grandmaster was his mental power.

If he wanted to harm a Peak Grandmaster, he had to seize the opportunity and strike decisively, without giving them a chance to react.

Because Jiang Liu was hiding to the side, concentrating on his fight, Jiang Zongquan and Dao Fan Shangren had to keep an eye on Jiang Liu during their battle.

After all, they had all heard the rumors that Jiang Liu's spiritual power had advanced to the Peak Grandmaster.

Moreover, his mental power also has the characteristic of devouring, which makes them have to be extra vigilant.

Distractions may not seem like a big deal in the short term, but over time, especially when fighting against opponents of the same level, they can become a problem.

That one moment of distraction could cost them their lives.

There was a battlefield atop the city walls where the fighting was most brutal.

It wasn't that the battle between the two sides was particularly brutal, but rather that the one being attacked appeared to be suffering the most.

At this moment, Jiang He was furious. As a direct descendant of the royal family, he had always taken it upon himself to eliminate the forces of the Jianghu.

When the Great Qian Imperial Family faced the three emperors, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were extremely subservient.

Therefore, from a young age, he harbored a deep hatred for the three sects.

However, his paternal uncle had always adopted a policy of appeasement towards those Jianghu forces, leaving him with no choice but to accept it.

Although he later became the commander of the guard, he did cultivate some talent for the royal family.

However, faced with the oppression, suppression, and resource plundering of the three sects, they will ultimately find it difficult to achieve great things.

Very few outstanding martial artists are trained, because almost all the good talents are snatched up by the three sects.

Even if the three sects didn't take it, other Jianghu forces would have seized it.

What distressed him even more was that many promising talents in the royal family either suddenly lost their meridians or died in accidents.

Those who remained were mostly mediocre, with very few even Grandmaster Realm level, let alone reaching the Peak Grandmaster.

If you said that none of this was the work of the three sects behind the scenes, no one would believe it.

This is precisely why the Great Qian Imperial Family faced such an awkward situation.

Therefore, he understood why his cousin had been so humble and subservient to the three emperors; he wanted to buy time for the royal family.

Unfortunately, Lu Tianheng, the commander of the Martial Prohibition Hall whom he had been cultivating with all his might, turned out to be an ingrate.

Otherwise, how could the Great Qian Imperial Family be in such a predicament today? They could have sat down and negotiated with the three emperors long ago.

Jiang He's expression was one of extreme grief and indignation, and he roared repeatedly. Although he was getting more and more injured, he fought with increasing ferocity.

The three Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect who were fighting him, on the other hand, looked extremely relaxed.

All they need to do is hold Jiang He back. As long as the battle continues, his energy will naturally be depleted, and then it will be difficult for him to survive.

Because their sect leader had long ago issued a strict order that all direct descendants of the Great Qian Imperial Family must be completely eliminated, leaving no survivors.

Therefore, their fighting style appeared unhurried, simply surrounding Jiang He.

Jiang He was well aware of their sinister intentions, but he was helpless in the face of their combined attack.

Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't, and besides, he didn't want to escape at all.

Because he knew that even if he escaped this time, where could he go? In the end, he would still fall into the hands of the three sects.

Because at that time, those in the Jianghu who want to curry favor with the three sects will naturally capture him and send him to the three sects for them to decide his fate.

Faced with Jiang He's fierce attack, the three Grandmaster of Haotian Sect were even exchanging ideas, urging each other not to let him escape and to capture him alive.

Then they brought him before his family and executed him.

One of the Grandmaster chuckled and said, "His wife seems to be quite beautiful. Don't try to steal her from me!"

"If we could capture him alive and have a fight with his wife in front of him, that would probably be very exciting."

"Haha! You really know how to say anything," one of the elders said with a slight reproach.

Although saying this might provoke Jiang He to lose his composure even more, it's still far too shameless.

Only the Grandmaster said these words knew in his heart that he was not just trying to provoke Jiang He, but that he really meant to do it.

Because he was one of the people sent by the Haotian Sect to carry out secret missions over the years.

One of his secret missions was to find a way to kill the most talented members of the Great Qian Imperial Family.

Of course, only he himself knows how many outrageous things he did during this process.

Hearing them say that, Jiang He could no longer contain his anger, and his aura rapidly escalated.

"Oh no, he's trying to self-destruct! Retreat quickly!"

Before they could disperse, Jiang He had already grabbed the Grandmaster who had just insulted him.

The Grandmaster who was being embraced panicked and used all his strength to strike Jiang He with a palm.

With a loud "bang!", his full-force palm strike collided with Jiang He's self-destructing energy.

He watched as the chaotic flow of energy began in his palms and waist, then spread throughout his body, until he was completely swallowed by darkness.

The two remaining Grandmaster of the Haotian Sect, who were already far from the explosion site, stared in disbelief at the place where the black clouds were rising.

They couldn't understand how Jiang He could have suddenly self-destructed when everything was fine just moments ago.

Moreover, they also took away one of their Grandmaster from the Haotian Sect. How are they going to explain this to their sect leader?

However, they didn't have time to think about it and flew off to support the other Grandmaster in their battle.
