Li ishan and the others, upon hearing this, couldn't help but look extrely grim.
Not using the Power of Origin?
The reason they were so obsessed with the Profound Yellow Origin Fragnt was partly because it was the key to advancing to the Ninth Realm and partly because possessing the Power of Origin would imdiately elevate one's strength.
This point was not so obvious in low-tier cultivators.
Because this mysterious power is of too high a rank, they cannot properly utilize it, the only benefit being that their cultivation speed would increase.
But once reaching above the Seventh Realm, the difference between possessing the Power of Origin or not would be significant!
"But Jiang Zhi didn't use this power?"
"He, with a fallen Eighth Realm Sixth Heaven cultivation, easily defeated the six of us without using a sword?"
This made them start to realize why the great cultivators in the Deviation, upon hearing that he was personally involved this ti, simply didn't bother to co...
Those who validate their Dao through killing have the most terrifying combat power and also the greatest chance of dying prematurely.
And the plain-looking man in the white robe before them had once killed his way to the Ninth Realm!
Among these five, so were heavily injured, others lightly.
After exchanging glances with each other, Li ishan, as a representative, spoke again: "Daoist Junior Martial Uncle is indeed well-reputed, and we have greatly offended you. We take our leave now."
The Eighth Realm sword cultivator, still being choked, showed endless rage and confusion in his eyes.
——What! You're leaving behind?
From this, it was evident that the Deviation was indeed very loose internally...
Jiang Zhi, however, glanced at them casually and said, "Did I allow you to leave?"
The five of them felt a chill down their spines imdiately.
With their cultivation, they were great figures who could dominate wherever they went!
Above the Seventh Realm, they belonged to the ranks of cultivation giants, not just any riffraff.
But Jiang Zhi was absurdly strong, even to the point of being eerily powerful.
After the encounter, everyone realized very clearly in their hearts that if he truly intended to kill, none of them would escape!
The Deviation had been so audacious, relying on the six major forces acting under the banner of saving the world, believing "a gentleman can be deceived by righteousness."
Aren't you all righteous people?
The loose cultivators walk the edge between good and evil.
Now, with the great calamity of heaven and earth looming, and as we are the mainstays of the Profound Yellow Realm, as long as we don't make major mistakes or fall into evil paths, it's almost as if we have an immunity token.
But Jiang Zhi is different.
He's a born killer!
This Daoist Junior Martial Uncle looked at them and said, "Each of you leave a Profound Level Technique."
Everyone was slightly stunned. Why would the distinguished Daoist Junior Martial Uncle, once a Ninth Realm powerhouse, want a Profound Level Technique?
But everyone soon understood.
Though Li ishan looked rough, he was actually very ticulous. In truth, every loose cultivator was sharp, or else they wouldn't have grown.
He imdiately took out a Jade Scroll, wrapped it in spiritual power, and sent it to Chu Huaixu.
"Chu Leader's great victory over the Origin Spirit Realm, this Jade Scroll is my token of respect, please accept it."
The others followed suit.
Only the sword cultivator Zheng Yuankang, restricted by the Qi Locking Technique, couldn't do anything and could only exchange glances with Chu Huaixu to convey— too.
Later, I'll definitely give it, for sure!
Chu Huaixu looked at Jiang Zhi, saw that he stood motionless with his left hand behind his back, and imdiately understood, happily storing the Jade Scrolls into the Storage Token.
He didn't have ti to see if these techniques suited him; the unsuitable ones could just be given to the Big Ice Cube and Xiaoxu, and once learned, sold to the Treasure Pavilion for contribution points.
Jiang Zhi then slowly released his right hand, allowing Zheng Yuankang, who had been locked for so long, to move his body again.
He imdiately took out a Jade Scroll and offered it, saying, "Young Friend Chu, this is my famous swordsmanship from my early years, please accept it."
Having completed this, he tentatively glanced at Jiang Zhi.
Seeing Jiang Zhi do nothing, he cautiously saluted and retreated to stand beside Li ishan and the others.
Only then did Jiang Zhi look toward them and said, "I'll only send out one Sword Qi."
"If the six of you can withstand it, you may leave."
Chu Yinyin watched from the side and imdiately pursed her lips, making silent expressions and murmuring in her heart:
"It's just showing off, not understanding how powerful you are at Chu Huaixu's level, showing off to the blind!"
"Now, intentionally showing off one more move in front of him."
Seeing this, the six people across gritted their teeth, and Li ishan's tone was now different from before.
"Please, Elder Jiang, instruct us."
No choice, though his apparent realm was higher by one First Heaven than Jiang Zhi, their combat power was so vastly different!
His fall to the Ninth Realm clearly had issues!
This simply wasn't the power an Eighth Realm should possess!
Jiang Zhi looked at Chu Huaixu, his gaze gradually fixed on his fingers.
Normally, Chu Huaixu, the Swordless, relied on Fingertip Sword Qi.
This Junior Martial Uncle deliberately mimicked, also generating a Sword Qi at his fingertips.
Imdiately following, the aura of the six people opposite changed in an instant.
"Is this... a Domain?" Chu Huaixu imdiately recognized.
He couldn't help it; he had been trained under Master Shen Man's Sword Domain for a whole month.
Back at the Evil Cultivation Altar, he had watched Steward Liu use the Domain God Talisman and explode.
This was the power that a cultivator of the Seventh Realm might possess.
But he couldn't determine the specific nature of the Domain of these six people.
Instead, Jiang Zhi spoke at this mont: "My Domain is called——Killing."
A breath emanated from him, isolating Chu Yinyin outside, but enclosing Chu Huaixu within.
In an instant, this young man in a black robe felt an intense sensation like a sharp thorn on his back.
He perceived overwhelming killing intent, and a vast, spreading ferocity!
For so reason, he seed to hear cries, screams, and wails...
It was as if countless invisible hands were pulling at him, carrying endless resentnt, trying to drag him into that bottomless abyss!
But Jiang Zhi stood at the center of the [Domain], seemingly unaffected by these resentful spirits.
He only cared about killing, regardless of how many had been slain, or how intense the resentnt was?
Chu Huaixu only felt as though he was amidst a human purgatory!
Jiang Zhi was clearly floating in the air, yet he felt as if he stood atop a mountain of amassed bones.
He turned to glance at Chu Huaixu, noticing that his Dao heart had not been affected by the Sword Domain.
This was sothing many Great Cultivators could not achieve.
Because he had killed too many, the accumulated resentnt and dead energy was unfathomable.
"A fearless person, indeed sowhat interesting."
"This path of proving the Dao through killing, perhaps suits him as well," Jiang Zhi thought.
The next mont, he began to swing his sword.
Looking at this sword strike, Chu Huaixu felt it was very slow, very slow.
Yet the six people across seed frozen, moving even slower.
Strangely, in his eyes, he could see line after line of different colors.
Or rather, they were energy threads, streams of power.
These threads were emanating from the six Great Cultivators, spreading outward in all directions.
It was as though, in face of the Sword Domain, no force within their bodies could remain hidden!
Now, Chu Huaixu was as if in Jiang Zhi's position, seemingly launching this sword strike himself.
He could clearly feel that he only needed to sever these lines one by one to slaughter everyone!
Through these "energy threads," he could spot their strengths and find their vital points!
The sword strike was thus wielded, line after line being severed, as the severed ends spun wildly, causing the aura surrounding them to beco chaotic.
On Jiang Zhi's sword qi, there were also countless lines.
These lines were different from the colorful ones of theirs.
They had only one color, which was black!
Carrying endless killing intent, endless ferocity, endless murderous will!
He could see behind Jiang Zhi, countless hands were grabbing him, as if trying to pull him into the endless abyss.
Yet he continued to wield the sword—he continued to kill!
Tens of thousands of resentful spirits behind him seed to have ford a Purgatory Totem.
But everything behind him did not affect his sword wielding; his singular killing intent surpassed the aura of tens of thousands of resentful spirits even more at this mont!
This slow pace lasted for just several breaths; Chu Huaixu felt like he experienced half a sword himself.
Yet the remaining half returned to normal, so fast he couldn't discern any details, not knowing what happened.
He only saw the six figures on the opposite side get slashed back, so retreating several zhang, so tens of zhang!
Li ishan, at the forefront, suddenly spat out fresh blood, with a crack appearing on the Armor Magical Treasure he wore.
"He showed rcy!"
"Otherwise they'd all die, all must die!" Li ishan felt a lingering fear.
Jiang Zhi looked at them, his gaze still mocking.
He spoke mildly, "A slight warning, lest you block my way again!"
With Chu Huaixu and Chu Yinyin, he flew straightforwardly ahead.
The six people quickly scattered to both sides, watching them leave with respectful expressions.
...
...
Chu Huaixu couldn't help but look back, seeing those injured six still not daring to leave, standing orderly and watching.
It was well known that every High Tier Loose Cultivator was formidable, possessing unique skills, running rampant without restraint.
Yet these six altogether stood no chance against Jiang Zhi!
"From now on, avoid contact with those of the [Deviation] Path," Jiang Zhi instructed, for both Chu Huaixu and Chu Yinyin.
"Loose Cultivators often tread both righteous and evil paths, acting without consideration."
"Yet they're capable of both bending and standing tall." He said, a hint of scorn on his face again.
"However, anyone who catches Cheng Yuyan's eye won't be ordinary," he continued.
"That Li ishan just now—even if Situ Cheng ca, wouldn't easily win." He said.
Jiang Zhi now appeared quite patient, saying, "Though I've fallen from the realm, it's voluntary, deliberately falling, cultivating the Secret Technique. Earlier Ninth Realm power remains mostly intact, only slightly weakened."
"If at Eighth Realm cultivation, a prolonged battle would be inevitable."
On this note, he glanced at the Profound Yellow Origin Fragnt in Chu Huaixu's hand, saying, "After this fight, you should know its rarity and worth, right?"
Chu Huaixu nodded.
This fragnt drew countless powerhouses surging towards it; it was their dream pursuit!
Yet Jiang Zhi's next words were:
"And for such a Supre Treasure, you acquired two pieces during this Origin Spirit Realm journey, correct?"
