Chapter 294: Round Eight

“It seems you’ve really been scared witless,” Honored One Zeng Tie said with a laugh after hearing Jiang Ke’er’s absurd statement.

But Jiang Ke’er’s expression didn’t look like someone who had been scared witless.

She was still looking up at the sky, her eyes clear and alert.

‘What exactly is up there?’ Zeng Tie wondered, puzzled. He also looked up at the sky.

It was evening, and the tragic glow of the sunset was like a fire filling the sky, appearing exceptionally bright and spectacular.

Something was falling from those glowing clouds.

Honored One Zeng Tie reached out and caught a piece between his fingers.

It was exactly like the white stones on the ground.

They were snowflakes as sharp and lethal as blades, and as large as a human head!

They were crowded, covering the earth and sky, and they filled every corner of the air in the blink of an eye!

In this dreamlike and beautiful light, Honored One Zeng Tie’s mouth gradually widened in horror.

“This… could it be… you…”

Before he could sort out his thoughts, the beautiful figure in front of him vanished without a trace, leaving only a long, cold number that struck Zeng Tie’s heart mercilessly.

“Three.”

This was the countdown for the rest of his life.

Zeng Tie’s pupils shrank. He looked up in horror, frantically trying to track Jiang Ke’er’s figure!

It was too late.

In this deadly wind and snow, two streaks of sword light had become the sky’s paintbrushes, connecting all the Human Cultivators together.

“Don’t even think about it!”

Fireblade Squad Captain Chen Bule acted boldly. Raging flames ignited around him once more.

A light as dazzling as the Jin Wu descending upon the world became the entirety of Zeng Tie’s hope at that moment!

Pssh —

The sword light plunged without hesitation into the intense fire that had distorted space, passing through his body.

“A mere flickering spark dares to show off before the sun?”

Jiang Ke’er’s disdainful voice was the last thing Chen Bule heard in his life.

His eyes widened.

The flames vanished like a gas stove with the valve shut off.

Then, light burst out from every part of his body. Sharp sword scars filled every inch of him, and he began to fall apart.

“No,” Chen Bule stared in horror.

He wasn’t so lucky this time.

In an instant, hundreds of sword strikes landed on him.

No matter where his Spiritual Soul hid, it couldn’t escape the fate of being sliced into pieces.

Those present were elites, one in 10,000 among the Human Clan. Even though Jiang Ke’er seemed unstoppable, they didn’t think the battle would end like this.

“I’ll do it!” A white-robed Sword Cultivator met her without fear.

His Sword Intent was chilling, and he was protected by bright Bagua divination Rune symbols.

He was righteous and grand, like a god descending to the world!

“It’s the Heavenly Gate Starry Art that can only be practiced by the Sect Leader’s personal disciples of the Heavenly Gate Sect!”

The surrounding Human Cultivators were excited.

“To think that this session actually has a Super Level Genius who has practiced the Heavenly Gate Starry Art. It seems the victory is decided!”

The white-robed Sword Cultivator collided proudly with Jiang Ke’er.

“Remember, the person who kills you is named Lu — “

Pssh —

“Shut up. I won’t remember.”

Everything happened in an instant.

Before the other cultivators could finish their exclamations, she had already passed the white-robed Sword Cultivator and rushed toward her next target.

The white-robed Sword Cultivator’s corpse fell before Zeng Tie.

Zeng Tie roared and chased after Jiang Ke’er.

However, if he didn’t use his speed as an Honored One, he could only match Jiang Ke’er’s speed at most.

He couldn’t catch up with her pace at all.

Just as Emperor Jing had said, there were thousands upon thousands of human geniuses.

The geniuses in this game weren’t limited to the white-robed Sword Cultivator from the Heavenly Gate Sect; there were many.

Five cultivators’ auras connected, and the sky’s background was filled with a massive formation diagram.

The Four Symbols Avatars behind them roared and swung their claws, striking heavily at Jiang Ke’er with world-destroying power!

“War Wasteland Second Team! Four Symbols Evil-Exterminating Formation! Die, Demonic Talent!!!”

The Avatar shadows of the Four Symbols, 1,000 stories high, seemed ready to level the entire Canyon.

Entwined with Gale Sword Intent, Jiang Ke’er didn’t dodge.

She just gritted her teeth and charged head-on against those four massive illusory claws!

The half-moon sword light that tore through the Jade Heavens was unstoppable, forcibly carving a path through the wave-like Spiritual Power!

Pssh —

No matter which sect the opponent came from, the sound of a blade tearing through flesh was always the same tedious noise.

The illusory images of the Four Symbols failed to stop the sword light paintbrush that connected the Human Cultivators. It was just as fast now as it had been when it arrived.

The cultivators on the mountain were chasing the other members of the Bagpipe Squad.

A knife had already entered halfway into Lin Gang’s chest.

He could even feel the pain of his heart being sliced as it beat.

Suddenly, the knife stopped.

It was replaced by a warm current that repaired his damaged blood vessels and heart muscles in an instant.

Lin Gang looked back in horror, but there were no pursuers behind him.

There were only corpses with frozen expressions, not even having had the time to fall.

“It’s snowing.” Lin Gang knelt down with tears in his eyes, wiping them away as he looked at the sky.

Yes, it was snowing.

The sword light paintbrush, like a dragonfly skimming the water, didn’t stay by Lin Gang’s side.

Instead, it circled every Human Cultivator before immediately leaving.

“Two.”

The ethereal voice echoed through the Canyon.

In just one second, too many things had happened.

Zeng Tie looked ahead, trembling.

By the time Jiang Ke’er shouted the countdown of two seconds, she had already stopped and was standing quietly in front of him.

She had used only one second to kill all the Human Clan participants, no matter how outstanding, brilliant, or eye-catching they were — even super geniuses who had once caused a sensation among all of humanity.

Indeed, they were outstanding. But compared to her, they couldn’t even reach her heels.

If it weren’t for the presence of Zeng Tie, an Honored One, she would have probably fulfilled the grand boast she had once made.

‘Fortunately, I’m still here,’ Zeng Tie thought, feeling slightly more at ease. ‘Even if I can’t reveal my strength as an Honored One, at least I’m safe.’

The situation had deteriorated to this point, but as long as he was there, it wouldn’t reach an irredeemable state. ‘I won’t die.’

She was just a Little Monster in the Five Elements Realm.

No matter how much she jumped around, she couldn’t possibly threaten him.

“One,” Jiang Ke’er’s voice fell.

“You’ve run out of Spiritual Power. Why aren’t you running?” Zeng Tie looked down at Jiang Ke’er from above.

Jiang Ke’er smiled faintly.

Snap, snap —

Two crisp sounds reached Honored One Zeng Tie’s ears at the same time.

He glanced up disdainfully, only to see two Rune Bracelets on Jiang Ke’er’s fair, slender arms shatter, turning into dots of starlight that merged into her body.

At the same time, the surrounding Spiritual Energy suddenly became exceptionally violent!

As if they had lost their minds, they bored into Jiang Ke’er’s body in an instant.

Even the Spiritual Power in Zeng Tie’s own body became restless, faintly showing signs of wanting to abandon him!

‘This… what in the world is going on?’ he thought in shock.

He was an Honored One! Theoretically, nothing below the Immortal Grade could affect the Spiritual Power in his body, but…

“Say hello to the devils in Hell for me.”
