Chapter 1427 Senior, have mercy!
The aftershocks of the sword light struck the palace wall and vanished silently, leaving only a violent rage sweeping through the courtyard, stirring up surging blue mist and rippling the lake's surface.
With a single sword strike, ninety percent of the cultivators were killed on the spot.
Only one cultivator, protected by a superior-grade true spirit treasure, managed to barely survive the burst of sword energy.
Even if he survived, his meridians would be severed, his internal organs destroyed, and he would be seriously injured, unable to even stand up.
He could only collapse to the ground, his eyes fixed on the demon-like young swordsman, his whole body trembling, desperately kicking his legs to move backward.
Yue Zimu was already the strongest among them. Even in Wanjie City, he was a well-known expert, and even the three city lords treated him with respect.
Yet such a powerful figure was killed by the swordsman in front of him with a single sword strike. Even the remaining sword light was enough to kill the others. Such combat power is simply unbelievable!
This person is strange, he's definitely strange.
He was actually able to unleash combat power surpassing that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator within the Celestial Palace!
Snapped.
Jiang Han raised his hand and caught a blood-stained Sumeru Pearl. He probed it with his divine sense and his expression immediately brightened.
"There are three Soul Condensation Crystals and so many high-grade refining materials. Could this person be a weapon refiner?"
Jiang Han smiled as he put away the Sumeru Pearl, then waved his hand to suppress all the spreading blood mist before looking at the last surviving cultivator.
Although these cultivators are currently only at the Nascent Soul stage, many of them are probably at the Void Refinement stage or even higher. Otherwise, they wouldn't have dared to risk seizing the treasure knowing that he possessed it.
Perhaps they possess some strange and deadly moves that could counter him.
However, these people are only at the Nascent Soul stage now, so even if they have many killing moves, they can't use them at all.
"..."
Beneath the palace walls.
Upon seeing Jiang Han's gaze sweep over, the cultivator who was still barely clinging to life was immediately so frightened that his throat tightened and he coughed up blood repeatedly.
Ignoring his severe internal injuries, he forcibly activated his essence and blood, unleashed a secret technique, and transformed into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing in a flash.
The person before him was far beyond his ability to handle; his strength was terrifying, and perhaps only the three city lords could deal with him.
If he wants to survive, he must run away with all his might!
The wind howled, and the streaking light moved with incredible speed, reaching the courtyard gate in a flash, about to rush out.
Just then, Jiang Han glanced to the side and saw a flash of cyan-gold sword light rise up beside him, the sword blade swirling with fine breezes as it shot out toward the courtyard gate.
In an instant, the sword light streaked through the void at a speed invisible to the naked eye, appearing behind the man in a flash, and bursting past with an incomparably violent and terrifying force.
boom!
The sword intent raged, and the man's protective magic weapon, which was already damaged, exploded immediately after being struck by this sword.
Even his body exploded in an instant, revealing countless cracks through which black sword light rapidly pierced, before suddenly bursting open and scattering into a large cloud of blood mist.
Without giving him another glance, Jiang Han simply raised his hand and sent more than ten primordial spirits flying out from the bloodstains on the ground. He then sealed them away in a jade box.
Dozens of storage rings and Sumeru Pearls flew to his side and stopped, allowing him to use his divine sense to explore them.
"Indeed, they are all wealthy people."
Needless to say, spirit crystals and such were used up long ago after being trapped in the Immortal Palace for so long.
But besides those, there were quite a lot of various refining materials and rare treasures. A rough calculation showed that they should be enough for him to refine more than a dozen top-grade flying swords.
Satisfied with his spoils, Jiang Han suddenly seemed to remember something, and with a wave of his hand, he curled up Yue Zimu's head at his feet:
"I almost forgot, there's you too."
Although the opponent's physical body has been destroyed, a Nascent Soul cultivator will not die easily. As long as the primordial spirit is still there, there is still a chance to rebuild the physical body.
Upon hearing Jiang Han's voice, Yue Zimu couldn't help but flinch. He cursed the boy's ruthlessness in his heart, and dared not continue feigning death. He shakily opened his eyes, forcing a fawning smile onto his face.
"S-Senior, could you spare my life...?"
When he spoke, he no longer had the smugness and pride he had shown before. His voice was trembling slightly, his eyes were lowered, and he adopted an extremely humble posture.
It wasn't that he was cowardly; he was simply terrified of being beaten by the other party.
Yue Zimu has roamed the world for nearly ten thousand years, rising from a rogue cultivator to where he is today, all thanks to his relentless struggle and plunder.
Unexpectedly, one day he was killed instantly by a seemingly insignificant swordsman!
All the previous plans and tactics were shattered by that one sword strike, rendering them utterly useless.
Even now, he still can't figure out how that sword ended up cutting his neck.
He couldn't understand why his superior defensive spirit treasure, which could withstand the attacks of the three city lords for a while, was shattered on the spot by the opponent's sword, and couldn't even withstand it for a moment.
This person possesses terrifying combat power; he is even stronger than the three city lords!
No wonder the three city lords treated this person with such courtesy; no wonder the immortal treasure took the initiative to recognize him as its master; no wonder he remained calm even when surrounded.
It turns out that the other party was actually an unparalleled genius with heaven-defying combat power!
What siege, what ambush? In the eyes of the enemy, they were probably the real prey.
"Senior! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"
"I can pave the way for you, senior. I have a way to help you break through that strange blue mist. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"
Yue Zimu shouted loudly, disregarding his image, fearing that the other party would crush his soul with a tightening of their fingers.
As a seasoned robber, he knew exactly how to save his life.
As long as he has any value to the other party, even if he is making things up, the other party will spare his life for the sake of that tiny bit of opportunity.
At that time, as long as one finds an opportunity to leave the body and use magic to escape, one will naturally have a chance to survive.
