Free Web NovelChapter 280: Chapter 278: Who’s Harder to Kill
Jiang Jichen’s face was covered in blood, making him look like a demon. The terrifying sight sent a chill through the hearts of all who watched.
The cultivator whose head Jiang Jichen had just twisted off had managed a final counterattack before dying, stabbing a sword through his abdomen and worsening his injuries.
His Divine Thought was fading, his Blood Qi was depleted, and his body was weak. If not for his formidable willpower and the Mysterious Exotic Fruit in his mouth...
...as well as the Undying Scripture and the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique, all working in concert, Jiang Jichen would have collapsed long ago, never to rise again.
"Eleven!"
"Next up, Nangong Jinjie!"
Jiang Jichen was slurring his words, his voice faint and ethereal, yet everyone heard him with perfect clarity.
And they understood the resolution he was trying to convey.
They were utterly shaken. They never imagined Jiang Jichen could actually manage to kill eleven people!
He only needed to kill one more to activate the Teleportation Array.
As for Nangong Jinjie, his face cycled through shades of red, white, and purple, a storm of emotions raging within him.
He was furious. He was terrified. He wanted to kill Jiang Jichen!
"Jiang Jichen, I admit I underestimated you, but... what’s the difference between you now and a dead man? You want to kill me in this state? You... don’t even have the right to fight to the death anymore!"
"Everyone, attack together! Kill him, and we’ll split the Supreme Treasure and the eight hundred million points!"
Though furious, Nangong Jinjie had not completely lost his mind. Instead, he spoke with insidious intent, goading everyone to attack at once.
Jiang Jichen was now grievously wounded and on the verge of death. Aside from his astonishing, unyielding aura, who could see how weak and powerless he truly was, his life ready for Annihilation at any moment? ƒгeewebnovёl.com
In this situation, what they had to do was kill Jiang Jichen completely and immediately, seizing the eight hundred million points and the Supreme Treasure he possessed.
Thus, Nangong Jinjie’s words drove the remaining people into a frenzy.
These people didn’t even wait for Nangong Jinjie to finish speaking; they scrambled over each other in their rush to kill Jiang Jichen.
Who wouldn’t want to be the first to cut down Jiang Jichen and claim the fortune of eight hundred million points?
Ten thousand years ago, the Purple Sun became a legend. And they... wanted to become legends, too!
But Jiang Jichen’s injuries were truly severe. Even with the Mysterious Exotic Fruit, the Undying Scripture, and the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique, it was difficult to sustain him in battle any longer.
He was down to his last breath.
But his enemies were so fierce, so powerful, and so numerous!
’They’re endless, a battle that cannot be won. What should I do?’
’Sit and wait for death?’
’Recall the past and regret my life?’
’Depart with unwillingness in my heart and hatred as my companion?’
...
No, none of them!
It was...
Never give up!
Never admit defeat!
Even in death, the will to fight will never perish!
"Haha... Nangong Jinjie, I’m coming to kill you!"
Jiang Jichen suddenly burst into wild laughter and strode forward.
His Seven-Colored Divine Soul, the Undying Scripture, and the Source Character Qi Condensing Technique were all pushed to their absolute limits. They couldn’t be stopped and threatened to self-destruct at any moment.
But Jiang Jichen continued to push them further, heedless of the consequences!
He had already used the Secret Skill that unleashed his potential once, but Jiang Jichen recklessly activated it again, as if trying to ignite the final glimmer of his life’s dying embers.
The crowd surged forward to kill him, but upon seeing this, they were all deeply shaken.
What did it mean to be fearless?
What did it mean to fight without end?
What did it mean to never admit defeat?
Looking at Jiang Jichen, a sliver of admiration involuntarily arose in their hearts.
But even so, they wouldn’t hold back in the slightest. In fact, they attacked with even more ruthlessness and desperation.
With the Supreme Treasure and points on the line, none of them wanted to fall behind.
Nangong Jinjie, however, was cautious, lagging slightly behind the others.
But he didn’t stay too far away. The moment Jiang Jichen was killed, he would be the first to rush in and seize the treasure.
Although the Supreme Treasure would inevitably have to be fought over and redistributed, whoever held it first would have a stronger position.
’Jiang Jichen, let’s see you defy the heavens this time!’
This thought occurred to Kong Ming, Nangong Jinjie, and Ling Dong.
And Jiang Jichen was in the midst of a storm of killing attacks.
Even knowing Jiang Jichen was fatally wounded with only a breath left, no one dared to be careless. They all still attacked with their full strength, scrambling to be the first to land a blow.
Jiang Jichen’s Seven-Colored Divine Soul flared once more, allowing him to perceive the trajectories of the attacks. But his body was too weak for him to dodge.
He could only choose to face the weaker ones head-on!
’As long as life remains, the fight goes on!’
Jiang Jichen roared in his heart and charged forward at extreme speed.
BOOM! BOOM!
He was continuously bombarded. Chunks of flesh were blown from his body, revealing gruesome wounds, stark white bone, and damaged internal organs.
But he didn’t fall. He kept moving forward, faster than ever!
"How is he not dead yet?"
"Impossible! His physical body is collapsing! Look, the flesh on one of his hands is dissolving!"
"But even so, he’s still... not dead!"
After the exchange, the crowd was stunned, completely unable to believe the scene before them.
Moreover, Jiang Jichen had passed through their attacks and appeared... right in front of Nangong Jinjie.
No one knew how Jiang Jichen had done it.
And even so, Jiang Jichen’s body was disintegrating. Even if he made it to Nangong Jinjie, what could he possibly do?
When Nangong Jinjie saw Jiang Jichen suddenly appear, a chill ran down his spine. But looking at Jiang Jichen’s disintegrating body, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
’This is a gift!’ he thought. ’For Jiang Jichen to serve himself up on a platter in this condition is just suicide!’
Nangong Jinjie sneered, "Jiang Jichen, you’re ridiculous. You still want to kill someone looking like that? It’s more like you’re about to be killed! Die!"
At this moment, Nangong Jinjie did not retreat. There was no need for caution. He was completely immersed in ecstasy.
Eight hundred million points were about to be his. He would possess the purple seal. He would become a legend!
This... this happiness had come too suddenly!
Nangong Jinjie attacked without hesitation, forming a Killing Technique to blast Jiang Jichen to pieces.
But in the next instant, Jiang Jichen completely ignored his Ultimate Kill and charged straight at him, looking like a man who had thrown all caution to the wind.
At that moment, Nangong Jinjie suddenly recalled something Jiang Jichen had said before: "I still have a life I haven’t gambled!"
But with only a breath left and his body disintegrating, could he even be considered to have a life left?
"Let’s see... whose... life... is tougher!"
Jiang Jichen suddenly shot out his other hand—the one whose flesh hadn’t yet disintegrated—and clamped it tightly around Nangong Jinjie’s neck.
At the same time, Nangong Jinjie’s Ultimate Kill slammed into Jiang Jichen’s body.
The flesh of Jiang Jichen’s lower body was also disintegrating...
But Nangong Jinjie felt his neck slowly being crushed. And he also discovered that a green pearl had somehow appeared in Jiang Jichen’s hand and was now completely embedded in his own flesh.
The Poison-Devouring Power, devouring life itself!
What Jiang Jichen held was, of course, the Poison-Devouring Pearl Fragment!
He hadn’t used it until this final, sudden moment.
Having accumulated the poison of countless giant black scorpions and refined it into an ultimate toxin, it now erupted violently within Nangong Jinjie’s body.
"No—"
Nangong Jinjie let out a despairing scream as his body below the neck instantly melted into a puddle of green liquid.
All that remained was a head with its eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace.
At the same time, the Light of Teleportation descended from the void, enveloping everyone present.
