"Villains die from talking too much. Next life, grow a brain!"
A clear voice reached Shen Qiao's ears.
Shen Qiao's heart sank, a myriad of fear suddenly gripping him.
Behind Shen Qiao, at some unknown point, another Jiang Li had appeared.
That Jiang Li held the Panwu Divine Sword, imbued with an unparalleled sword intent.
The power of time surged wildly upon it, accompanied by a circling black law power.
It was precisely the ultimate secret techniques on Jiang Li's Panwu Divine Sword: Temporal Slaughter and the recently comprehended law power.
Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, Jiang Li unleashed a fierce barrage of attacks with the Panwu Divine Sword.
White spiritual light and black death laws emanated a supreme killing aura.
Following this, an unmatched sword intent directly slashed towards Shen Qiao.
"No!!! I'm not reconciled!!!"
Shen Qiao roared, feeling the terrifying assault that had suddenly appeared behind him.
This attack was aimed at his life, and he could not resist it.
He was currently absorbing the power of the Inverse Immortal Blood, rendering him completely unable to defend himself.
"Swish swish swish!!!"
With a series of tearing sounds, the peerless sword intent emerged from Shen Qiao's back.
Shen Qiao's eyes widened, never expecting to be struck in such a state.
If only he had known, if only he had used the Inverse Immortal Blood earlier.
Innumerable regrets flooded Shen Qiao's mind.
Shen Qiao's body was struck by the peerless sword intent, and then rapidly withered.
The aura of flowing time instantly filled Shen Qiao's entire being, his life force slowly dissipating.
Temporal Slaughter and the death law raged violently within Shen Qiao's body.
"My Lord will avenge me!!!!" Shen Qiao shouted in rage, his pupils filled with gray.
The purple-gold Inverse Immortal Blood before him could no longer save his life.
With that, his life force completely extinguished, his withered body collapsed, utterly devoid of life.
Finally vanquished. Looking at Shen Qiao, who showed no sign of life, Jiang Li breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
The oppressive pressure from a Grand Exalted cultivator at the ninth heaven of the Supreme Realm was truly immense.
This battle had forced Jiang Li to reveal all his trump cards.
Various supreme divine abilities, the Supreme Bone, the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Temporal Slaughter, the law of death, and the Triple Incarnation technique…
While fighting, Jiang Li had released the Primordial Chaos Qi, seeking an opportunity to obliterate Shen Qiao.
Only after a long while did he find this chance.
The power of Temporal Slaughter, amplified by the death law, was truly formidable.
It had managed to slay a Grand Exalted cultivator at the ninth heaven of the Supreme Realm.
Although it was a surprise attack, the peerless destructive power was immense.
However, Jiang Li could not use Temporal Slaughter, this top-tier divine ability, for the time being.
It required a considerable period of nourishment to unleash its full power at critical moments.
The power of the Sacred Body's Golden Bone was also extremely important.
Without the augmentation of the Sacred Body's Golden Bone, Jiang Li would never have dared to provoke him.
But he was dead, and that was enough. Jiang Li took a deep breath.
The golden bone, belonging to the minor accomplishment Ancient Desolate Sacred Body, slowly dissipated from his body.
A pity, the power of the Sacred Body's Golden Bone had completely vanished, with no more uses remaining.
Moments later, an extreme sense of weakness washed over Jiang Li, his body feeling unsteady.
The Nightmare Beast then emerged from nearby, supporting Jiang Li and preventing him from falling.
Jiang Li then began to circulate his Origin Reversal divine ability.
His origin energy, spiritual power, and stamina within his body were rapidly recovering.
Jiang Li did not wish to lose his combat effectiveness in such a place.
After using Origin Reversal, Jiang Li's condition recovered at an astonishing rate.
The purple-gold Inverse Immortal Blood in the distance continued to release an extremely terrifying aura.
Jiang Li could feel an immensely powerful force emanating from it, a force carrying the aura of absolute destruction, incredibly potent.
It exuded an extreme sense of oppression.
If he had truly managed to fuse with it, he would have likely perished here.
Jiang Li murmured to himself, but unfortunately, he was the victor.
Following this, Jiang Li cleaned up the battlefield, collected his spoils, and departed immediately.
The Inverse Immortal Blood was also carefully collected by Jiang Li, taken away in its entirety.
…
Half an hour later.
In the plateau, which had almost turned into ruins.
A dark silhouette appeared, traversing the ruins.
Seemingly searching for something.
After a while, the silhouette stopped at the spot where Shen Qiao had died.
The soil stained with blood on the ground was picked up by the silhouette. After picking up the soil, the silhouette licked it.
The soil seemed to contain a mysterious power, which the silhouette absorbed. After absorbing the mysterious power, the silhouette's expression turned extremely grim.
"Thump thump thump!!!"
Before long, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed.
A squadron of cultivators in black uniforms rushed over in unison.
The group wore purple masks, their eyes flickering with a faint purple luminescence.
"Protector, the Shimo Sect's forces have been completely scattered. The Zhou family failed to annihilate them all!" the leading cultivator said respectfully, kneeling on the ground.
"Useless, all useless! Those scoundrels were already in such a state, and you still let them escape!" the dark silhouette grumbled, his voice laced with dissatisfaction.
"Protector, please calm your anger. The Shimo Sect had arranged for reinforcements, allowing them to evade certain death!" another cultivator added.
The others around them knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.
The dark silhouette took a deep breath, feeling a wave of irritation.
"Put the Shimo Sect aside for now. However, that Asura Divine Body must not be let go. He is a target specifically named by the Grand Elder!" the dark silhouette said, suppressing his anger.
"Yes, Protector, we will do our utmost to capture that Asura Divine Body!" the cultivator nodded heavily, his eyes filled with reverence.
Gradually, a gentle breeze began to blow, and a faint scent of blood permeated the surroundings.
"Also, Protector Shen has met with misfortune. Immediately request reinforcements, dispatch additional troops, and urge those in the Heavenly Abyss to act quickly. Our time is running out…" the dark silhouette said, gazing at the bright moonlight in the sky.
As the dark silhouette issued order after order, the numerous cultivators dispersed one by one.
Soon, only the dark silhouette remained in the entire area.
"To think I'd stumble upon a rat from the Inverse Immortal Sect here, what a pleasant surprise…" suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded in the dark silhouette's ear.
The dark silhouette felt his hair stand on end, his blood seeming to stop flowing.
Who… who was it…
