"Jiang Yizu! Face your end cleanly, do not make further unnecessary trouble for us!" The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect shouted angrily.
His attire was battered with blood and tears having one arm ripped off his body, and his companion beast was already stepping half a foot into the gates of hell.
Whoosh!
"Jiang Yizu! You stole the supreme inheritance of my Sect, so give up the Roaring Mountain Immortal Art!"
The Sect Master of the Supreme Body Sect flew in the air, transmitting his message below with Divine Sense.
The Sect Master of the Supreme Body Sect was a Body Cultivator, yet he looked more fragile than a decrepit mortal now. Almost all his limbs were shattered, revealing the bones within, yet his body was still and steady like a mountain.
Hundreds of thousands of cultivators all went to war, yet only now a thousand remained.
The Supreme Heaven of the Demonic Path, Jiang Yizu, now stood calmly at the mound of corpses and blood.
Numerous scars were visible on his body, and his blood was seeping through the corpses. Most striking was the bloody hole in his chest going all the way through!
Though not a breath-taking handsome face, Jiang Yizu's facial features were sharp and dominant, like a radiant star in the sea of blood.
"Roaring Mountain Immortal Art? This?" He sneered, taking out a torn cultivation technique out of his bloody robe.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were glued to that scripture in his hands! That was the very reason they had decided to wage war against the Demonic Path and Jiang Yizu!
Immortal-Rank Treasure!
To hell with Jiang Yizu and his status as the Supreme Heaven of the Demonic Path, even the Supreme Heaven of the Righteous Path wouldn't be spared after blatantly obtaining such a Heaven-Defying treasure in the eyes of countless sects!
Seeing this, he mockingly smiled and slowly spoke:
"The worst evil is to sacrifice oneself."
"—To benefit others."
"Sacrificing oneself for others, choosing righteousness over life, that is the greatest evil!"
"To sacrifice a single hair to benefit the world..."
"I will not do it!"
As he spoke, he tore apart the Raging Mountain Immortal Art Manual one by one. By the end of his speech, he burned all remaining pieces until truly nothing was left.
BOOM!!!
"Jiang Yizu, Bastard!!! I will torture you for 49 days before I let you die!" The Sect Master of the Supreme Body Sect leaped to the ground with bloodshot eyes and slammed Jiang Yizu's head with both hands!
Clang!
His attack failed, and he instead coughed up blood while flying mid-air!
"Fellow righteous cultivators, he's on his last breath!" The Sect Master of the Medicine King Sect amplified his voice with Divine Sense, reaching the ears of all cultivators in the war-torn land!
Though the immortal manual was now gone, Jiang Yizu still existed! The Sect Masters would torture the information out of Jiang Yizu before letting him die in agony!"
"This day next year will be his anniversary, paid with the sacrifices of our masters and disciples!"
"Righteous and Loose Cultivators alike, now we must combine our forces for one last stand! Attack!!!"
The thousand-plus cultivators shouted in unison and finally started their last battle!
...
Court Calendar, Year 1200
A fat young man and a few other people were gathered in a small cave in Spirit Flower Mountain.
Slap!
"Little brat, are you acting in front of me again?"
Slap!
The fat man was, by attire alone, wasn't to be messed with. His robe was filled with spirit gems and jewels, and his knuckles were equipped with hard diamonds. His robe had a black-gold dragon logo, looking all noble.
The few others were watching the unconscious Jiang Yizu nearby with mocking gazes, thinking he was just acting to escape the pain of the fat man's strikes.
"Jiang Yizu! If you don't wake up, I'll really hack you to death!" The fat man shouted angrily.
Hearing a very irritating voice, Jiang Yizu's eyes opened. What greeted him was a strike from the fat man, straight at the solar plexus.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yizu immediately broke free from the fat man's grasp, changing the trajectory of the fat man's strike with one smooth motion!
He had no idea why he and these people were here, or why he was still alive.
At this moment, his only thought was:
"Huh?"
"I'm not dead?!"
On the other side, seeing the frail little brat he had always used as a punching bag effortlessly repel his punch, he was shocked.
...Even more so, he was grinding his teeth with rage!
No one had ever dared to resist or attack back in front of him, the illegitimate son of the Sect Master!
"You idiots, what are you dawdling around for? Shackle him immediately!"
The fat man angrily pointed at his lackeys, shouting curses one after another.
The few men immediately reacted, their fists already in position. "Big Bro, I'll make sure he can never use those arms for an entire year! Leave it to us!" The leader of the group responded to the fat man with a shout.
During all this, Jiang Yizu was not staying still the entire time. He checked his belongings, only to find a pitiful piece of broken spirit stone and a wooden sword in his robe.
At this moment, two fists were already coming in his left and right!
Whoosh!
He swiftly turned the wooden sword into an extremely bizarre angle, countering both fists with one strike!
His wrist almost gave up, but he didn't groan even once. He used his advantage and punched the neck of one of the attackers, then slammed both their heads into each other with his legs while he was falling to the ground.
Boom!
The sound of their heads slamming into each other immediately filled the entire cave!
"Shit, it hurts so fucking bad!"
Two voices said in unison with trembling voices, clutching their heads and rolling on the ground.
The one whose neck was punched was in even more excruciating pain, passing out almost immediately after speaking!
Seeing this, Jiang Yizu's eyes were emotionless and cold. He didn't delay, immediately leaping to the ground after falling and gripping his sword.
Realizing he was just fighting a bunch of brats who were ignorant about the ruthlessness of the Jianghu, he laughed.
"A bunch of little brats being so arrogant, none of you will escape here ali—"
"My voice?!"
Hearing his own voice, he was shocked! This was not his voice!
"Damn it, who are you all?!"
He grabbed the unconscious brat's collar and slapped him awake.
Contrary to what he expected, the young man cursed at his face and spoke—
"Do you think you can escape here alive now? No one has ever been this brave before, daring to attack us in front of Big Bro!"
Jiang Yizu paid no mind to his words anymore, directly snapping his neck!
Boom!
The man's body twitched a few times in the ground before finally staying still...
Seeing this scene with their partner dead, the lackeys immediately realized that this was no longer the little brat they had once used as a punching bag!
They were facing a demon in human skin!
No longer daring to fight, the leader of the fat man's lackeys said with a trembling voice: "Big Bro... How about we avenge this grudge later? Forget about that dead idiot, Jiang Yizu is crazy! We might die!"
Similarly, the fat man was also stunned in place. His eyes were wide open, and he was almost scared to death. He gathered all his courage and pointed at Jiang Yizu—"Fuck... He's gone crazy! Use your swords, kill him! I'll cover it up for you all!"
Hearing this, the group realized they had no choice. Either die by Jiang Yizu's hands, or kill and escape alive!
At this moment, a bunch of inexperienced brats were now making the hardest decision they had ever made in their lives!
