Jiang Feng unleashed a sword strike, unleashing the Ruthless Sword Intent to its fullest extent, causing the heavens and earth to change color!
The vast Sword Qi surged like a collapsing galaxy, and the majestic might of heaven enveloped the entire Soul Refining Sect. Tens of thousands of disciples trembled under this world-destroying pressure, their breaths almost ceasing.
Despite their peak True Immortal Cultivation, Zhou Wentao and Xia Hongjue were still able to maintain their composure, but their faces were as pale as paper, and their eyes were filled with horror.
Only the Soul Snatching Chain remained unyielding in its ferocity, roaring as it charged forward madly.
The scythe burst forth with a ghostly light, tearing through the void, and with a resolute determination to perish together, it slammed fiercely into that towering sword light!
"Die!"
Jiang Feng's face was cold as he unleashed a slash of his sword.
"Boom--!!!"
The Sword Intent was like a torrent, unstoppable.
The Soul -Soul Snatching Chain, bearing the brunt of the attack, was blasted away like a meteor falling to earth, crashing deep into the Main Peak 'Earth Vein.
The earth trembled violently, mountains collapsed and countless palaces crumbled, and countless disciples were reduced to ashes in the aftershocks of this attack!
The terrifying Sword Intent slashed away the Soul Snatching Chain, its momentum undiminished, heading straight for Zhou Wentao and Xia Hongjue!
"Join forces!!"
Their eyes were bloodshot, and they roared in unison.
The Dark-Gold Soul Seal intertwined with the Ten Thousand Ghosts' Wails, transforming into a sky-covering barrier of Soul Path that stood firmly in front of him.
"Snap--!!!"
The barrier lasted only half a breath before shattering with a deafening roar!
Sword light flashed, the shadow of death loomed.
But at this critical moment!
"Buzz--!!!"
Deep within the Earth Vein the Soul Refining Sect's Main Peak, a terrifying Sword Intent, fierce, tyrannical, and containing boundless killing energy, soared into the sky!
This Sword Intent was not directed at anyone, but the pure and extreme destructive Sha Qi within it made Jiang Feng's mind tremble, and the Sword Force in his hand involuntarily slowed down by half a point.
"Puff--!"
Zhou Wentao and Xia Hongjue seized the opportunity to fly backward. Although they were hit by the aftershocks of the sword light and their blood splattered in the sky, they ultimately—escaped with their lives!
"What terrifying killing Sword Intent!"
For the first time, Jiang Feng, who had always been calm and collected, changed color.
It was a tremor from the depths of his soul, as if he had encountered a natural enemy, a supreme and deadly weapon capable of destroying his Ruthless Dao foundation!
"Beneath the Main Peak... why is there such terrifying Sword Intent?"
Zhou Wentao and Xia Hongjue, both seriously injured, also looked bewildered.
Not only him, but all the disciples and elders of the Soul Refining Sect who were unable to raise their heads due to the pressure of Jiang Feng's Sword Intent all looked towards the Main Peak with surprise.
Could it be... that the Soul Refining Sect possesses hidden secrets unknown to us?
Everyone was secretly delighted, and a surge of relief welled up inside them.
Jiang Pojun's Remnant Soul also frowned deeply.
He had already thoroughly investigated the Soul Refining Sect's strengths and weaknesses; its strongest members were Xia Hongjue, Zhou Wentao, and the deadly Soul -Soul Snatching Chain.
But this terrifying Sword Intent that appeared out of nowhere was completely unexpected!
"Playing tricks!"
Jiang Feng recovered from his shock, his eyes flashing with even greater murderous intent.
He Ruthless Dao of Ruthlessness and possessed an unwavering Dao heart; how could he be intimidated by a mere Sword Intent?
"I'd like to see what it is that's trying to create a mystery!"
He snorted coldly, ignoring the heavily injured Zhou Wentao and the other man, and took a step forward, transforming into a sword light, heading straight for the Main Peak of the Soul Refining Sect's Earth Vein!
He wanted to personally retrieve the "thing" hidden underground.
Dig it out!
The terrifying sword intent that just shot into the sky was a wisp of killing intent that Zhang Yu involuntarily leaked out when he embedded the fragment of the Immortal Execution Sword into the core of the Soul Refining Sect's grand formation and the formation was initially connected with it.
At this moment, everyone in the Soul Refining Sect watched helplessly as Jiang Feng flew to the Main Peak as if he were in an empty field, yet no one dared to stop him or block him.
Although the battle just now did not directly affect everyone.
However, Jiang Feng's Ruthless Sword Intent, which permeated the heavens and earth, had already injured the Divine Soul of most people present, weakening their auras, and almost no one survived.
Even the Sect Master Zhou Wentao and the Grand Elder Xia Hongjue were unsteady on their feet and pale-faced.
Jiang Feng to the top of the Main Peak, his gaze fixed on the abyss of the Earth Vein below that suppressed the Soul Snatching Chain, and without hesitation, he swooped down!
"Boom--!!!"
Just as his figure disappeared into the abyss—
A Sword Intent, identical to the previous one but even more ferocious and savage, mixed with a terrifying, world-destroying roar, erupted from the depths of the earth!
"Puff--!"
The next moment, under everyone's incredulous gaze...
That domineering and almost invincible figure in green robes was sent flying backward in a sorry state, even faster than when he left.
Everyone saw that Jiang Feng's clothes were torn, his hair was disheveled, and a streak of blood was even spilling from the corner of his mouth!
Following closely behind in pursuit was a phantom-like chain, entirely black, yet wreathed in endless Destruction Sword Intent—
It is indeed the Soul Snatching Chain!
But at this moment, the Soul Snatching Chain's aura was completely different from before.
Previously, it was ferocious, insane, and exuded Ghost Qi aura.
But at this moment, it seemed to have been endowed with some kind of will.
The Sword Intent flowed across its body, each ray of eerie light exuding an aura of destruction capable of annihilating all things and ending everything. It was no longer a weapon of mass destruction, but rather— the Incarnation of slaughter!
How is that possible?
Jiang Feng steadied himself, staring intently at the Soul -Soul Snatching Chain whose aura had drastically changed, his eyes revealing disbelief and horror for the first time.
What's going on?
How did the Soul Snatching Chain become like this?
Xia Hongjue was also taken aback.
He Trial the Soul Snatching Chain for hundreds of years and knew its temperament and power like the back of his hand, but the Soul Snatching Chain at this moment was so unfamiliar that it made his heart tremble.
"How eerie... How could the aura of the Soul Snatching Chain have become so terrifying?"
Zhou Wentao also frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
"So the Soul Snatching Chain left behind by the Founding Patriarch is this powerful! We're saved now!"
"Excellent! With the sect's most powerful artifact unleashed, we're sure to kill Jiang Feng!"
The Soul Refining Sect disciples, unaware of the true situation, cheered and jumped for joy, believing that the hidden power of the Soul Snatching Chain had erupted, repelling the arrogant Jiang Feng.
Only the elders of the Soul Refining Sect, who had lived for thousands of years, exchanged silent glances, all harboring the same thought—
Something's not right.
The Soul Snatching Chain... could never possess such Destruction Sword Intent!
What exactly happened deep underground?
Jiang Pojun saw the streak of blood at the corner of Jiang Feng's mouth and panicked for the first time.
The feeling was so absurd that even his Remnant Soul began to tremble violently.
In his heart, Jiang Feng was an almost invincible existence, the second-best swordsman in the Jiang Family, whose status was only below the Sword Master and those Seclusion Sword Sect Heavenly Immortal!
He had personally witnessed Jiang Feng, with his True Immortal Cultivation, slay Heavenly Immortal with a single sword strike on the Outer Battlefield —what an awe-inspiring and invincible figure he was!
But at this moment, the almost invincible legend in his eyes was actually—injured!
Moreover, this happened in a tiny Soul Refining Sect that didn't even have any Heavenly Immortal, under the influence of a Destruction Sword Intent of unknown origin!
"Impossible... this is impossible..."
Jiang Pojun muttered to himself, his eyes filled with surprise and panic.
If even Jiang Feng is defeated here, wouldn't his plan to take revenge today become a joke?
Even... his Remnant Soul might be completely destroyed here!
Zhang Lingyun was equally shaken, her crimson eyes fixed on the eerie, Soul Snatching Chain that had emerged from the ground, a surge of indescribable turmoil welling up within her.
What secrets are hidden beneath the earth?
That Destruction Sword Intent was definitely not something the Soul Snatching Chain itself possessed!
It's even less likely that it's a force that Zhou Wentao, Xia Hongjue, or even the entire Soul Refining Sect could control!
It is a more ancient, more ferocious, and more pure Slaughter Principle that transcends the Ruthless Dao!
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the Soul Snatching Chain, which was wrapped in the Destruction Sword Intent, suddenly hovered in mid-air. The rope's body shimmered with a ghostly light and slowly condensed into a blurry human figure.
The figure's face was obscured, except for a pair of eyes, like two crimson blood moons, cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, exuding only a pure Killing Intent capable of annihilating all things.
He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the entire room before finally settling on Jiang Feng.
A hoarse, dry voice, as if it hadn't been uttered for millennia, emanated from the figure's "mouth," resounding throughout the heavens and earth:
"The Ruthless Dao... Ha!"
"Does it even deserve to be called the Way of the Sword?"
Before the words were finished, the figure formed by the Soul Snatching Chain raised its hand and made a grasping motion.
"Clang--!!!"
A dark red longsword, entirely condensed from the Destruction Sword Intent, emerged from his palm.
The sword was covered in mountains of corpses and seas of Sea of Blood, with countless spirits wailing in agony, as if it contained all the killing and sins that had occurred since the beginning of time!
"This sword is named -- Zhuxian."
A figure wielding a sword took a step forward, the blade pointing directly at Jiang Feng.
"Today, I will offer your Ruthless Dao blood as a sacrifice to the sword!"
