307 Predator to Prey (1)
Jiang Ming’s figure was like a blazing divine light as he rushed across the deck of the ship. The black sword swept across and instantly slashed the bodies of the two young geniuses, killing them.
His gaze was cold as he charged toward the remaining people. There was no sympathy on his face. These people were the ones who had stood on the stern of the ship and wanted to hit him with a mocking expression.
“Stop! Do you know who we are?” A beautiful woman stood on a pavilion in the middle of the ship. She looked extremely shocked and angry. She shouted, “You’re bringing disaster upon yourself. Even your family and legacy will suffer. Your entire family will be exterminated!”
“When you wanted to crush me to death, did you ever think about whether you were bringing disaster upon yourselves?” Jiang Ming had a faint smile on his face. He killed another genius with a punch and threw his body to the corner of the deck.
“It’s not too late for you to escape now!” The woman’s face was slightly pale. However, she still forced herself to say coldly, “We’ve already sent word to the experts in the sect. When they arrive, you’ll die!”
“You’re still trying to scare me when you’re about to die?” Jiang Ming’s eyes were cold as he rushed out and pounced on the woman.
There was a separate protective array where the woman stood. However, it trembled violently under Jiang Ming’s punch. In a few moments, it shattered inch by inch and was about to explode completely.
The woman’s expression changed drastically. What kind of monster was this? How could there be such a strong Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?
She hurriedly moved her body, wanting to escape from this place. However, it was already too late. The sound of the array shattering could be heard behind her, and a sword aura erupted. The expression on her face immediately froze, and her head rolled down to the ground.
“It’s your turn!” Jiang Ming turned around and looked at the last few people. They were all hiding in an array in the middle of the ship, trying to escape.
However, all of this was futile. Even the ship’s protective array had been cut open by Jiang Ming. Even if the remaining array had any special features, it could only delay their death.
He activated the Hundred Tribulations Sacred Body and injected his blood Qi into the black sword. He hacked at the array. The array shook and the geniuses inside changed their expressions.
“Where exactly did this monster come from?” They found it hard to believe. After experiencing the explosion just now, how could he still have such terrifying strength left? Won’t his blood Qi and spiritual energy be consumed?
“No! That black sword of his…” Suddenly, a shocked voice sounded from within the array.
“That black sword is able to withstand the blood Qi. I have heard of this thing.”
A Qi Refinement Realm genius stared at the black sword in Jiang Ming’s hand and cried out, “It seems to be the sword that appeared in those ruins more than two years ago. It has an extremely shocking origin and seems to have a connection with the Black Rock Ruins. I heard that it was later snatched away by an individual cultivator named Yan Chixia, and he even killed many cultivators of the Cangming Grotto-Heaven.”
“What?” The other geniuses who were still alive all changed their expressions and looked at Jiang Ming in disbelief.
Almost all of them had heard of that incident because the origin of that place was too shocking. It was a place that had once transcended tribulation. The remnant light of the heavenly tribulation had never been seen before, and it almost caused all the grotto-heavens and blessed lands to tremble.
The black sword that had appeared was highly valued by various factions. They sent countless people to search for its whereabouts. However, there were no results.
No one expected that the black sword would appear here.
“Impossible. Yan Chixia is only a small cultivator in the Qi Refinement Realm. How could he have such strength?”
Jiang Ming’s divine will was now formed, and his spiritual sense was extremely sharp. He heard their conversation and grinned. “Yan Chixia is my junior. Today, I, Zhang Shan, will avenge my junior! You b*stards from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven once attacked my junior ruthlessly. Today, I’ll avenge him.”
In the array, a man heard this and quickly shouted, “Fellow cultivator, I’m a disciple of the Tianhong Sect, not the Cangming Grotto-Heaven. I won’t participate in the enmity between you and the Cangming Grotto-Heaven. Please let me go!”
“I-I’m not from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven either. I’m from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain.”
They quickly shouted and begged Jiang Ming to spare their lives.
“The Cangming Grotto-heaven, the Tianhong Sect, and the Spirit Silkworm Mountain…” Jiang Ming said softly. There was one grotto-heaven and two blessed lands. No wonder they could be domineering in the Black Rock Ruins. Who could resist them?
“Who knows if what you said is true or false? I can’t tell! I really can’t tell!” Jiang Ming sighed and muttered to himself, “Only by killing them all can I ensure that there are no hidden dangers!”
They were furious, and the disciple from the Tianhong Sect could not help but say, “Which force are you from exactly? You provoked several major forces at the same time. Aren’t you going to consider the sect behind you?”
Jiang Ming had just casually mentioned that Yan Chixia was his junior, which made these people inevitably have many assumptions. They were certain that Zhang Shan and his junior must have come from some immortal cultivation sect.
