Chapter 565 - Flying Hairy Jiangshi

A fearsome creature emerged from within the great hall—a long-haired jiangshi with ghostly fire in its eyes, instilling terror in all who looked upon it.

The sheer malevolence radiating from this jiangshi was palpable. It felt as if it could turn the world into a hellish wasteland and drench the Tianwu Continent in blood.

This jiangshi’s aura was so powerful and terrifying that it seemed almost godlike or demonic, capable of instilling mortal fear.

This was a Flying Hairy Jiangshi at the nine-revolution Golden Core realm. Even though it had just reached this level, its presence was formidable enough to terrify anyone.

No one present could match this Flying Hairy Jiangshi in a one-to-one battle. Even a five-revolution Golden Core expert would likely be torn apart in a single blow.

The crowd’s worst fears had materialized.

This great hall indeed harbored a terrifying vicious creature, the Flying Hairy Jiangshi. It was only a step away from the Divine Nascent realm.

Li Yao, Qiu Yuexin, and the others’ expressions grew serious, feeling the immense pressure of facing such a powerful foe.

On top of this, they still had to fight the other five and six-revolution Golden Core realm skeleton jiangshi and ghost soldiers.

“Everyone, let’s join forces. This Flying Hairy Jiangshi has just advanced to the nine-revolution Golden Core realm and has yet to stabilize its strength. We still have a chance if we join forces. If we don’t, none of us stand a chance against it,” Li Yao said with a grave expression.

He was just a step away from reaching the eight-revolution Golden Core realm. He was the strongest among those present.

Still, he would be no match for the Flying Hairy Jiangshi unless he advanced to the eight-revolution Golden Core realm. Even then, he would only be able to exchange blows with it.

“Sure. Our goals are the same, after all. If we don’t get rid of this Flying Hairy Jiangshi, every one of us can forget about entering the great hall. None of you will get your hands on the treasures,” Xuanyuan Po said, holding up his Mountain Suppressing Seal that had become much smaller, his expression similarly grave.

Although this Flying Hairy Jiangshi was incomparably terrifying, they were the top geniuses of the Hong Domain, wielding immense power. If they joined forces, they didn’t have to fear the creature. Moreover, they couldn't give up on the treasures within the great hall.

“Let’s join forces and get rid of this Flying Hairy Jiangshi!” Sword qi swept out from Gongsun Zhong with unequaled sharpness, tearing through space.

“No objection from me,” Qiu Yuexin said. Clear and cold moonlight blossomed from her, making her seem like a fairy who had descended into the mortal world.

Li Yao and the other top genius experts quickly agreed to join forces to deal with the Flying Hairy Jiangshi.

“The few of us will deal with this Flying Hairy Jiangshi together. As for the minions, we’ll leave them to you people,” Li Yao said. Immediately, their auras surged and they charged toward the Flying Hairy Jiangshi.

“You’re looking to die!” The faint ghostly fire flickered in the Flying Hairy Jiangshi’s eyes. Ghost qi immediately rose to the skies when it saw Li Yao and the others joining forces and besieging it, enraged.

The overwhelming corpse Qi transformed into a hand of death and pressed down. It was incomparably terrifying.

“Break!” Li Yao and the others’ gazes turned fierce but showed no fear. Their auras were boundlessly powerful, with four seven-revolution Golden Core supreme geniuses, together with Yun Tao, an expert just a step away from the seven-revolution Golden Core realm.

Their qi shocked heaven and earth, instantly erupting, and made the hand of death swiping at them explode.

“Kill!”

“Kill all these skeleton jiangshi and ghost soldiers, and the treasures will be ours!”

“Charge!”

The others roared furiously, channeling their cultivation and charging toward the skeleton army.

Li Yao and the others were responsible for taking care of the peerless vicious creature, Flying Hairy Jiangshi, while they dealt with the minions, their division of labor was clear.

Chen Fan followed behind the crowd, clearing many of the ghost soldiers and skeleton jiangshi that came from the back.

The group of experts at the front had torn open a path through the skeleton jiangshi army, but they did not wipe out all these vicious creatures. So, the crowd now had to fight back enemies from both the front and the back.

“Kill!”

Battle cries were everywhere, shaking the heavens. Similarly, ghost soldiers and skeleton jiangshi were all over the place, rushing over.

Large swathes of skeleton jiangshi died. However, many human martial artists also fell into a pool of blood, torn to shreds by the skeleton jiangshi. It was quite a brutal picture.

The humans were numerically disadvantaged. Even though they had fought their way to the great hall’s entrance, they suffered heavy casualties. Many of the five major alliances’ elites fell.

Chen Fan was at the very back of the crowd, maintaining a steady pace. He was in no rush to be at the front.

He swung his arm like a dance, forming many true primeval hands that swept out and crushed numerous skeleton jiangshi, displaying notable combat prowess.

However, there were many three-revolution Golden Core experts around. Thus, his performance did not draw attention from the crowd. He was like a tiny ripple in the ocean.

Woo, woo!

Two three-revolution Golden Core realm skeleton jiangshi charged toward Chen Fan, each with a dagger-ax in hand, moving as fast as lightning.

Chen Fan countered with a powerful palm strike, snapping one iron dagger-ax in half.

His terrifying palm force landed on the jiangshi’s chest, making it explode. Then, he sent out a kick, turning the other jiangshi into powder.

The battle situation grew increasingly intense, reaching a climax beyond the crowd’s imagination.

The jiangshi that emerged later were incredibly powerful, with many in the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Core realm, causing heavy casualties. Many experts were torn apart alive.

“Ahhh...”

“Mom! I want to go home!”

“No more, I don’t want the treasures anymore!”

Many people were scared out of their wits.

However, even more people charged forward fearlessly, killing the skeleton jiangshi like madmen.

They had already fought their way to the entrance of the great hall. As long as they killed this jiangshi, the treasure inside would be theirs.

Retreating now would waste all their efforts and mean that many had died in vain.

Initially, the human forces numbered three to four hundred. Now, only one to two hundred remained.

Thankfully, the skeleton jiangshi and ghost soldiers were also dwindling in numbers. Many of them were killed.

Rumble!

Intense explosions rang out as Li Yao and the others clashed violently with the Flying Hairy Jiangshi.

The Flying Hairy Jiangshi was at the early stage of the nine-revolution Golden Core realm. However, with Li Yao and the others joining forces, it was being beaten back repeatedly.

After all, they were geniuses among the geniuses, and their identities were extraordinary. Each of them possessed powerful ultimate techniques, and the ability to fight those above their cultivation level.

The Flying Hairy Jiangshi had just advanced to the nine-revolution Golden Core realm, so it was still not able to fully control its powers.

Rumble!

The Flying Hairy Jiangshi was sent flying, knocking into the great hall and making a part of it collapse. Its chest had caved in, the ghostly fire in its eye sockets flickering between dim and bright.

When the crowd saw this scene, their morale skyrocketed.
