Jiang Hu glanced at the silver horn rhinoceros on the ground, displaying a look of surprise on his face.
Jiang Han was indeed attempting to lure and kill the Silver Horned Rhinoceros, and it seemed that he might have even taken the essence and blood of the Silver Horned Rhinoceros for some sort of alchemical process.
Although it is unclear what Jiang Han's intentions are behind this action, his behavior is so mysterious and unpredictable that Jiang Hu has already started to harbor murderous thoughts.
Jiang Hu slowly withdrew the long sword from his hand, the muscles on his face quivering. As he slowly approached Jiang Han, he shouted coldly, "Jiang Han, you are practicing dark magic here! You must come with me to Jiang's Village to face the elders for a review. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing any mercy due to our shared bloodline!"
Jiang Hu and Jiang Bao had actually entered the Tianhu Mountain Range a long time ago!
It is only now that Jiang Han has been located because they searched the previous four peaks and also spent considerable time at the Blackhead Peak.
In order to save time, Jiang Han lured the Silver Horned Rhinoceros to its death and did not handle the body. The strong smell of blood attracted numerous other beasts to the area. During their search, Jiang Hu and Jiang Han encountered several of these beasts. Not only did they end up looking quite disheveled, but Jiang Hu also sustained a minor injury as a result.
Upon seeing Jiang Han, Jiang Hu, who was initially filled with anger, found that he was actually in the process of transforming the essence blood of the Silver Horned Rhinoceros. This realization made him feel an unsettling sense of unease.
Jiang Han's father was a prodigy unmatched in a hundred years among the Jiang clan. Could he have left behind some mysterious and powerful martial arts skills for Jiang Han to learn?
Han Shiqi is set to come and marry Jiang Li in half a month, and this matter is of great importance to the lineage of the Three Elders. No mistake should occur.
Jiang Hu held his sword and walked step by step towards Jiang Han. Jiang Han closed his eyes and stood still, with his muscles slowly moving. His face became even more rosy, and there was an inexplicable aura circulating around him.
"Go to hell!"
A flash of cold light appeared in Jiang Hu's eyes, and his speed surged. In his hand, the long sword transformed into a streak of rainbow light, piercing straight towards Jiang Han's chest.
Just at that moment, Jiang Han suddenly opened his eyes, and a flash of silver light appeared in them. With a swift motion, he swung his long blade down towards Jiang Hu's head.
Jiang Han suddenly unleashed a powerful attack, with an astonishing force that seemed to carry the momentum of wind and thunder.
Jiang Hu's skills were still relatively fresh, so he bent his legs, transformed his long sword into a stabbing motion, and chose to engage in a direct confrontation with Jiang Han's long blade.
He is in the sixth level of the Purple Abode, while Jiang Han is only in the fifth level. Additionally, due to the nature of his cultivation method, his strength surpasses that of a normal sixth-level Purple Abode practitioner by a considerable margin.
With this hard-hitting strike, he was confident that he could easily deflect Jiang Han's long blade, leaving Jiang Han's center exposed and allowing him to strike and kill Jiang Han with a single sword thrust.
It has to be said that Jiang Hu's practical experience is quite impressive, and his response strategies are flawless.
However...
In the instant of the clash between the sword and the knife, a tremendous and violent force was transmitted, causing Jiang Hu's hand to crack instantly. His body was propelled away by the immense and powerful force, and it felt as if he had been hit head-on by a massive and ferocious beast running at full speed.
BOOM!
Jiang Hu crashed heavily into a massive rock that was two lengths away from him. His head collided precisely with a protruding stalactite, causing blood to flow rapidly.
"Brother Tiger!"
Jiang Bao, who was leisurely observing the battle from the sidelines, was utterly stunned. Looking at Jiang Hu, who was groaning in agony on the ground, and then at Jiang Han, who exuded an intimidating aura, he rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was experiencing some kind of hallucination.
Jiang Hu's combat prowess is something he is very well aware of. As someone who is also in the sixth level of the Purple Formation, Jiang Bao believes that he is no match for Jiang Hu. Yet, here we see Jiang Hu being sent flying by a single strike from Jiang Han, who is only in the fifth level of the Purple Formation. Even though Jiang Hu had previously sustained a minor injury, it shouldn't have been this severe.
"Huh?"
Jiang Bao was stunned, as was Jiang Han. Looking at Jiang Hu, who was lying on the ground, bleeding profusely and wailing in agony, he couldn't believe what he was holding in his hand—a battle knife.
"Incredible! My strength has increased by at least five times, and it's likely to be slightly stronger than the ninth level of the Purple Abode!"
Jiang Han silently went over some calculations in his mind, feeling a surge of excitement.
The Tian Shou Ding is indeed an extraordinary artifact. By refining ten drops of the essence blood of the Silver Horned Rhinoceros, he successfully obtained the Silver Horned Rhinoceros's innate ability, "Furious Power."
After using this supernatural ability, he felt that his entire body was filled with explosive power. He now had confidence to chop down a tree that would require three people to encircle.
Thud-thud-thud!
The rapid sound of footsteps jolted Jiang Han out of his thoughts, causing him to look up and see that Jiang Bao had already rushed forward with a sword in hand.
Seeing Jiang Hu in such a pitiful state, Jiang Bao, with his sharp features and monkey-like face, displayed a fierce expression as he glared at Jiang Han and shouted, "Jiang Han, you damn scoundrel! How dare you harm Brother Tiger? I'll take your life!"
Seeing Jiang Bao's ferocious demeanor, Jiang Han also felt an overwhelming surge of murderous intent. The lineage of the Three Elders is truly outrageous; not only did they forcefully hand over his younger sister as a concubine to Han Shiqi, but they also sought to take his life!
"Die for me!"
Jiang Han unleashed a fierce attack, and the long blade in his hand seemed like a white streak of lightning.
Jiang Bao had initially intended to use a mysterious technique, but Jiang Han's attack was both swift and intense. As a result, Jiang Bao's own mysterious energy within his body was in a frenzy, forcing him to engage in a direct and fierce confrontation.
Bang!
With this powerful strike, Jiang Bao was unable to withstand the immense force, and his long sword was instantly shattered. The remaining force of the blade, like a raging wave, struck Jiang Bao with great force.
"Ah—ah—"
Jiang Bao crashed to the ground. Upon examination, it was evident that a massive indentation had been carved into his chest and abdomen, and his ribs had been neatly severed. Even the shattered internal organs could be faintly seen. As he lay there convulsing and wailing, he eventually lost all sound.
"Jiang Bao? Jiang Bao!"
Jiang Hu struggled to his feet, cradled Jiang Bao's body, and shook it slightly. With a sudden turn of his head, he roared at Jiang Han, "Jiang Han, you damn piece of shit! How dare you kill Jiang Bao! You are reckless and heartless! You are doomed to die! No one can save you!"
"Is that so?"
Jiang Han slowly walked forward, his face grim and stern. He said, "Bold and reckless? You want to kill me? Do I have no choice but to simply wait for my death? Heartless and insane? Killing me is considered righteous, but if I were to kill you, it would be unforgivable? No one can save me, and who would come to my rescue?"
Zap!
Before Jiang Han could finish his sentence, he quickly dashed over to Jiang Hu and swung his long blade in a sweeping motion, aiming straight for Jiang Hu's neck.
Killing one is killing, and killing two is still killing!
Since the killing has already begun, there is no turning back; Jiang Han no longer has any concerns in his heart!
Feeling the chilling murderous intent emanating from the battle knife, Jiang Hu was so terrified that his spirit shattered. Instinctively, he rolled onto the ground in an attempt to evade Jiang Han's deadly strike.
However, due to the injuries he sustained, his reaction time was still half a beat slower. The tip of the long blade cut across his neck, causing a good person's head to fly off. Blood gushed out like a fountain from the decapitated body, staining a large area of the ground.
Tick-tock, tick-tock!
The blood gathered at the tip of the knife dripped onto the withered leaves, producing an unsettling sound.
Jiang Han's face was pale, and he gazed silently in the direction of Jiang Jiaying, his eyes devoid of any emotion. He muttered, "Jiang Xiaotian, this is all because of you. You wanted to take away the most important thing in my life, and now you must pay the price with blood!"
"Jiang Li, wait for me, brother!"
Jiang Han pursed his lips and muttered again, "Once I awaken the three bloodline abilities, I'll head back to Jiangjiating and get you out. Whoever tries to stop me then, I'll kill them!"
