Chapter 210: Killing Jiu Yuan

Jiu Yuan trembled with fear at the realization and glanced around in panic at the small world under the umbrella.

He could not fathom or comprehend how Pang Jian, a Profound Abode Realm cultivator, could manipulate the gravity of the Primordial Wilderness.

He also understood why Lou Yunming, a fellow Spirit Condensation Realm cultivator, had died at Pang Jian's hands.

Pang Jian could control the laws of heaven and earth in the Primordial Wilderness. His combat prowess could not be judged using the same standard as other Profound Abode Realm cultivators!

Pang Jian nodded with a slight smile. "You've figured it out, but it's too late."

After studying Jiu Yuan's condition, Pang Jian concluded Jiu Yuan could no longer escape from the Star Crushing Umbrella. He also knew Fang Boxuan, Xie Xiwen, and the others could not hear what was happening inside the umbrella.

Therefore, Pang Jian did not fear being overheard.

"I've said this before. I, Pang Jian, can do as I please in my territory. Not even the five major sects of the Third World can intervene!

"I can harmonize with the Primordial Wilderness, becoming the sovereign of this fragmented land and possessing unfathomable powers. Killing you, Jiu Yuan, is a simple matter."

The handle of the Star Crushing Umbrella rotated. The stars, the full moon, and the bone-chilling ice pool above unleashed a vast force targeting Jiu Yuan.

Shooting stars fell like a shower of light and icy Lunar Edges condensed into clusters of miniature storms to bombard Jiu Yuan.

Gravity increased by dozens of times, making it impossible for the already exhausted Jiu Yuan to move.

He could only brandish his Blood Reversal Blade to cut down the shooting stars. Despite that, Lunar Edges still surrounded him and shattered his protective shield.

Jiu Yuan's spiritual sea was already depleted and his blood essence was so thin it was hardly worth mentioning.

Pang Jian!" Jiu Yuan roared, taking out a purplish gold pendant covered in sword marks and pressing it against his chest. The pendant absorbed the blood flowing from his chest before abruptly shattering.

Shing! Shing! Shing!

Purplish gold sword light burst forth and attacked Pang Jian.

The purplish gold sword light carried a sword intent that exuded an extraordinarily sinister aura, seemingly capable of withering all living things.

Without hesitation, Pang Jian summoned his thick green protective shield. However, the sword light broke through his protective shield in an instant, and the withering sword intent seeped into Pang Jian's body.

Pang Jian felt as if he were in a desolate world where all living beings had perished. He saw piles of bones and purplish gold sword lights flying through the air.

"If I die, you won't live either!" Jiu Yuan laughed maliciously.

Strands of sword intent slashed at Pang Jian's body, mangling his body and leaving him covered in blood.

The terrifying sword intent, capable of corroding flesh and draining life force, rampaged through Pang Jian's internal organs.

Pang Jian let out a sharp scream of agony.

Then, gritting his teeth through the pain, he threw the Startling Slaughter Spear and pierced Jiu Yuan's immobilized body.

Pang Jian sat down heavily, attempting to use the solar energy and earthflame energy from his spiritual sea to intercept the terrifying sword intent.

Boom!

The purplish gold sword light darted around like living creatures in Pang Jian's body, only for the scorching rays and raging flames to intercept and extinguish them.

Sweat poured from Pang Jian like rain. The pain was so excruciating it nearly made him lose consciousness.

He had successfully ground down the purplish gold sword intent invading his body with great effort, but the sword intent had still covered his chest with wounds so deep the bones were visible.

"Brat, how do you like the taste of that?" Jiu Yuan laughed mockingly. "Even if I die here, I'll take you with me!"

He could feel his life force slipping away and knew he could not escape death.

As he stared into Pang Jian's eyes, he continued to laugh at Pang Jian's miserable state. "Pang Jian, you won't make it out alive either!"

"Maybe a typical Profound Abode Realm cultivator would've died from such injuries, but not I'm not normal. After all, I can kill a Spirit Condensation Realm expert like you," Pang Jian said with cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He then spread the life energy from the glowing green leaves throughout his body. Gaping wounds closed, severed meridians reconnected, and ruptured internal organs healed.

"What kind of monster are you?" Jiu Yuan, with the Startling Slaughter Spear still embedded in his chest, watched in horror as Pang Jian staggered to his feet.

Pang Jian's bleeding had already stopped. As he regained his mobility, he steadily approached Jiu Yuan.

Jiu Yuan completely lost the ability to fight back.

Rip!

Pang Jian tore off a thick blood clot from his abdomen, revealing wounds interwoven with green light beneath.

The green light brimmed with boundless vitality and stitched up Pang Jian's horrific wounds like threads controlled by a celestial being.

Pang Jian's deep wounds were healed in the blink of an eye, enveloped by life energy so intense even Jiu Yuan could sense it.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Pang Jian's strong heartbeat released life energy like an erupting volcano. Soon, his entire being was enveloped in an indescribably rich life energy.

Jiu Yuan saw Pang Jian's wounds and severed meridians heal rapidly.

Such extraordinary healing ability was not something even Soul Wandering Realm cultivators could achieve, let alone Spirit Condensation Realm cultivators!

Only those deeply versed in body tempering techniques could possess such heaven-defying self-healing abilities. These individuals and techniques were thought to have only been around during the legendary era when body tempering was still highly valued.

"Not even the Grand Providence Sacred Body has such divine ability!" Jiu Yuan exclaimed in shock.

Pang Jian grasped the shaft of the Startling Slaughter Spear and stared into Jiu Yuan's horrified bloodshot eyes as he lifted the spear upward. "This ends here. I still have to kill Cao Mang and Lady Hua. I don't have time to waste on you."

Rip!

Jiu Yuan's body was cut in half and his internal organs spilled out.

When the spear reached his neck, Pang Jian twisted the spear shaft.

Plop!

Jiu Yuan's head dropped to the ground like a watermelon.

Pang Jian frowned. Flicking the spear shaft, he sent Jiu Yuan's bloody head flying toward him before wrapping it in a piece of cloth and stowing it away in his spatial bracelet.

He then collected Jiu Yuan's spatial bracelet and Blood Reversal Blade.

Black turtle, gather spiritual qi for me,

Pang Jian said.

Dense waves of spiritual qi surged into his dantian, quickly restoring most of his spiritual power.

The reason Pang Jian had dared to expend his energy to exhaust Jiu Yuan was because of the black turtle hiding in the smaller fragmented land below the Primordial Wilderness. He could always draw spiritual qi from the black turtle to replenish his own spiritual sea.

Spiritual qi gathered from all over the valley and poured into the Star Crushing Umbrella.

Pang Jian felt as if he were swimming in a vast ocean of spiritual qi. His eyes lit up with joy as he absorbed it with his dantian and through every pore in his body.

In no time, his spiritual sea was brimming with spiritual power.

Whoosh!

The radiance cascading down from the Star Crushing Umbrella retracted back into the umbrella's canopy and Pang Jian emerged from beneath it.

"Jiu Yuan!" the group outside exclaimed simultaneously.

Fang Boxuan stumbled backward two steps at the sight. A surge of intense cold chilled his heart.

Xie Xiwen, Shen Lei, and the other members of the Star River Alliance were at a loss for words as they glanced between Jiu Yuan's dismembered body and the blood-soaked Pang Jian.

Unlike before, the anger and hostility in Xie Xiwen's eyes had now disappeared.

While Pang Jian and Jiu Yuan battled in the small world within the umbrella, Shen Lei, fearing the overly righteous Xie Xiwen would confront Pang Jian about Liang Ying's death, told her the truth about Elder Liang.

He feared Xie Xiwen would drag the entire Star River Alliance into the matter and felt he had no choice. Thus, he recounted how Elder Liang Ying had murdered rogue cultivators for their treasure more than once while leading her disciples on training missions.

With her image of Liang Ying now shattered, Xie Xiwen finally believed Liang Ying had attacked Pang Jian with murderous intent, leading to Pang Jian killing her.

"Pang Jian, Jiu Yuan's actions do not represent our Blood Moon Sect!" Fang Boxuan hastily clarified. "Jiu Yuan is the black sheep of our Blood Moon Sect. Many people are fed up with him and despise his character! I hope you won't hold a grudge against our entire Blood Moon Sect because of him!"

The members of the Star River Alliance looked at this genius of the Blood Moon Sect strangely as if seeing a new side of him.

No matter how bad his relationship with Jiu Yuan was, they were both members of the Blood Moon Sect. It was inappropriate for Fang Boxuan to stand by and watch as an outsider killed Jiu Yuan in front of him. Worse still, he maliciously slandered Jiu Yuan right after his death.

This Fang Boxuan is shameless. How could he be like this? I must've been blind before!

thought a female disciple from the Star River Alliance.

Fang Boxuan ignored their disdainful looks. "The conflict between you and Jiu Yuan is a personal one. Please don't drag our entire Blood Moon Sect into this! When I return to the sect, I'll report to the Sect Master and tell him that Jiu Yuan had ordered his subordinates to search for girls in the Fourth World—"

Fang Boxuan's persuasions were abruptly cut off as Pang Jian once again manipulated his long spear and flew away with the Star Crushing Umbrella in hand.

This time, Pang Jian did not manually climb the mountain. Manipulating his spear, he took advantage of the buoyancy of the Star Crushing Umbrella and flew straight to the summit of the First Peak.

Pang Jian climbed the First Peak for the second time!

Thud!

Fang Boxuan fell to the ground, unable to maintain his righteous facade any longer. He wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "That fiend is finally gone."

The members of the Star River Alliance looked at Pang Jian with eyes full of awe, then stared disdainfully at Fang Boxuan. In their mind, this so-called genius of the Blood Moon Sect was an utterly shameless person.

"He's truly a fierce character with an overwhelming aura." Shen Lei shook his head in amazement. He now realized how impossible it would be to ask Pang Jian to return the Star Crushing Umbrella.
