Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2195: Chapter 2239: Establishing Authority

Oh?

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed a look of surprise.

So Jian Wuchou has taken the path of ancient bloodline inheritance.

This method excels in the Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation stages, allowing for rapid cultivation.

Practitioners comprehending the Taoist Skill system are still stuck in Nascent Soul Madness and Heavenly Human Decline Tribulation, while those with bloodline inheritance have already surpassed many bottlenecks.

But the drawbacks are obvious.

Jian Wuchou only began to comprehend the world at the Sage Realm, so his Laws are very weak!

It seems that the path of bloodline inheritance, upon reaching the Wise Man Realm, not only is surpassable in cultivation speed by the Ancient Saint of Cloud Desolation system, but its Power of Laws also pales in comparison.

Jian Wuchou’s cultivation appears to be at the Mid-stage Three Calamities Realm, but his true strength is likely only at the Early-stage Three Calamities Realm.

He may even be inferior to some special Two Calamities Realm Sages.

The people of Sword Central watched as their Great Sage was beaten into a sorry state, feeling both ashamed and angry.

Some of the sages cast their gaze towards Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian.

Towards Jiang Fan, they dared to be angry but didn’t dare to speak up.

But they had fewer qualms about Liu Qingxian!

”Liu Qingxian, you shameless woman!”

A tall female Great Venerate stepped out from the crowd, her brows raised in anger: ”Wuchou the Great Sage was your Tao Guardian, treating you with immense kindness!”

”Yet, you turn around and act lovey-dovey with an old man!”

”Do you have no shame?”

Liu Qingxian tightly pursed her red lips, saying: ”Just because someone treats me well, do I have to pledge myself to them?”

”Besides, Jian Wuchou claims to be my Tao Guardian, but has he ever taught me the way of Sword Dao?”

”Was it not always under the pretext of teaching Sword Dao that he tried to force me into submission?”

”If any of you want this kind of ’kindness,’ go ahead and take it!”

Some who understood Jian Wuchou’s true nature showed looks of realization.

The sharp looks in their eyes faded.

However, the female Great Venerate was relentless, shouting: ”Ungrateful thing, you still dare to argue!”

”Wuchou the Great Sage doesn’t hold it against you, but I, Ziyuan, cannot stand a person like you!”

Liu Qingxian’s eyes were filled with humiliation and helplessness.

When she first arrived at Sword Central, after displaying the Seal of the Sword Saint inheritance, Jian Wuchou was the first to show up.

Who could have known that someone at the Three Calamities Realm wouldn’t focus on cultivation, but instead be engrossed by beauty.

Liu Qingxian was unwilling to comply and received no benefits.

All her cultivation was from the Void Feather Robe Jiang Fan gave her.

Now, being accused of owing a debt to Jian Wuchou, she couldn’t explain herself clearly even if she wanted to.

The female Great Venerate’s eyes turned fierce as she shouted: ”You vile woman, get over here! Don’t think you can hide in...”

Whoosh—

Her vision suddenly blurred as Jiang Fan, with the Wind God Order Flag floating above, appeared in front of her at an unimaginable speed!

Slap!

Before she could react, she was slapped across the face!

Her left cheek, white as snow, instantly bore a swollen and blood-red handprint.

”Vile woman! Do you think you can insult my woman?”

Jiang Fan’s eyes emitted a chilling cold, like two icy caves.

Despite Liu Qingxian saying she needed to endure hardships.

What kind of life had she lived in Sword Central?

A candidate for the Sword Saint inheritance, and yet a woman in the Heavenly Human Five Declines could step out to insult her!

Staying in Sword Central, what future did she have?

The female Great Venerate stood in a daze for a full two breaths before the delayed pain on her face jolted her awake, and she roared:

”You dare hit me?”

The Divine Ring behind her suddenly erupted!

A domain infused with powerful Sword Dao erupted at close range!

Liu Qingxian opened her mouth wide, wanting to shout but it was too late!

A few Sword Central experts who intended to come to the female Great Venerate’s aid intentionally slowed their steps.

Both being in the Heavenly Human Five Declines, if the female Great Venerate suddenly made a move, even if Jiang Fan was unharmed, he would be left in a sorry state.

However.

Strangely enough, when the female Great Venerate’s domain struck Jiang Fan, it was like throwing mud into the sea.

No mistake about it.

It was the Ancestor Ring that absorbed the domain!

The female Great Venerate’s face changed suddenly, realizing that the elder before her was extraordinary, and hurriedly tried to withdraw her wrist to break free.

Though their realms were similar, the other’s hand seemed to grow on her own body.

No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t budge even an inch!

”Let me go, let me go!” She finally showed a hint of fear.

A few experts who had stopped their steps changed their expressions, scolding angrily.

”Sword Central City is not a place for you to act unruly!”

”Release her! If she loses a single hair, I’ll have Liu Qingxian lose a finger in apology!”

Originally, Jiang Fan only intended to administer slight punishment.

Upon hearing the last sentence, his eyes suddenly turned icy as he directly froze the female Great Venerate’s head into an ice sculpture.

Then, with a cracking sound, the head shattered!

A tiny soul fled hastily from the body.

As it fled, it screamed: ”My Tao Body, my hundred years of cultivation!!!”

The sages who had come to rescue were also shocked and furious!

This female Great Venerate, who had high hopes of advancing to Sage, was unexpectedly slain by Jiang Fan with just a look!

”Old codger! Do you think you can act without restraint just because of Fuyun Great Sage?”

The Disaster Realm Sage who threatened to sever Liu Qingxian’s finger shouted in anger.

Jiang Fan coldly looked at him, stepping forward.

With his soul edging closer to the Sage Realm, his control over his body greatly surpassed the past.

At such a close distance now, just breathing would bridge the gap!

The Mid-stage One Calamity Realm Sage who was yelling showed a dash of triumph in his eyes: ”Good timing!”

He had caught Jiang Fan’s trajectory and suddenly struck with his hand.

He only had one opportunity to strike; any prolonged engagement would be interrupted by Fuyun Great Sage, so a ruthless expression appeared on his face.

A black hole appeared in the center of his palm, from which a top-grade Spirit Sword, radiating intense spiritual pressure, suddenly shot out!

The sword body was enveloped in faintly visible Chains of Law.

A sneak attack with added Law!

It was evidently meant to deliver a lethal blow to Jiang Fan!

”Die now!”

However!

What froze his expression was that Jiang Fan, appearing from nowhere, was also holding a sword in his hand.

The sword body was long and entirely black.

The spiritual pressure it emitted caused the swords worn by everyone present to clatter.

It was actually a Quasi-Realm Artifact!

Mysterious flames of three colors enveloped the sword body.

Jiang Fan slashed out with his sword!

The incoming top-grade Spirit Sword was instantly sent flying backwards.

The Black Sword did not slow, and slashed towards the Mid-stage One Calamity Realm Sage!

The sudden turn of events exceeded everyone’s expectations!

So much so that no one preemptively took steps to rescue!

The heart of the Mid-stage One Calamity Realm Sage pounded as he hastily summoned the Merit Divine Stele to block in front, shouting: ”To think you could kill me, you’re not worthy...”

Crack—

However, the Merit Divine Stele couldn’t withstand the blow from the Black Sword!

Back when Jiang Fan summoned the Holy Blood, activating the cultivation of a Two-winged Great Angel, he could easily cleave apart the Karma God Stele of Silver Moon.

Now, his physique’s strength had reached that level.

The Void Flow Power had also greatly increased.

The power of a single sword was far beyond the past!

With the sound of shattering, the Merit Divine Stele was split in two!

The golden merit within dispersed as specks of golden light, scattering in all directions, then vanishing into the void, disappearing without a trace.

Whoosh!

With the breaking of the Merit Divine Stele, the Mid-stage One Calamity Realm Sage before him spewed a mouthful of blood.

The pressure of a Sage dissipated rapidly from his body!

Just like when the Asura Saint Son’s Karma God Stele was shattered, he too fell back to the realm of Heavenly Human Five Declines.

”My cultivation, my centuries of accumulated Sage merit!”

He roared in disbelief, eyes wide open.

”Did you think this is over?”

However, after shattering the Merit Divine Stele, Jiang Fan had no intention of stopping!
