39 Chapter 39: Overwhelming Killing Intent
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Ming didn’t care about any alliance.
It would be a good opportunity for him to warm up and let them know the terror of the “Big Demon Head”.
He was still immersed in reading and cultivation.
Wangyue Lake, on the island in the lake.
Here, Jiang Ming was alone. He was on a huge green stone, his body slightly undulating. With an open mouth, a torrent of primal qi gushed in; with a spit, a gale stirred the sky.
Roar!
His blood roared through his body like thunder, unstoppable and endless.
His heartbeat was like the war drums, each beat making the air tremble lightly.
The powerful Power of Blood had already caused the surrounding rocks to crack. The bloody smoke from his head gathered and rushed into the sky. Even the opening and closing of his pores were exchanging energy with the energy of Heaven and Earth.
With each breath, his Power of Blood became stronger.
However, at this moment, a figure walked on the water swiftly, quickly arriving at the island and landing not far away. Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from Jiang Ming, the figure couldn’t help but be moved: “Like the sky collapses, like a tsunami, I feel he could kill me with a casual blow!”
The person who came was none other than Lu Yuan.
“This demon, he’s gotten stronger.”
“No, I feel he’s ten times stronger than when he killed Xuanming Master. No, more than ten times. Even I, who have reached the peak of the Master-class, can hardly bear his pressure!”
“Is this guy going against the heavens?”
Lu Yuan grinned.
“When I first met him, he was stronger than me, but only by a limited amount. But every day since then, he has progressed rapidly. Now, I don’t even feel like I can walk up to him when his full power is unleashed.”
“I’m a genius too!”
Lu Yuan sighed.
Facing such a person, he really felt powerless, without even the urge to compete.
Jiang Ming had already stopped and opened his eyes, looking at Lu Yuan with a smile, “What do you think of the body tempering technique I created using Longxiang Dominator Body Skill as a reference and learning from dozens of body refining methods?”
He stood up and walked down, the green stone behind him silently cracking and shattering.
“Awesome!” What else could Lu Yuan say but give a thumbs up.
“Haha!” Jiang Ming laughed, “Of course it’s awesome. Now that I’ve cultivated it to the same level as Longxiang Dominator Body Skill, I’m dozens of times stronger.”
It’s not a false claim, but a substantial improvement.
For this body refining method, he used his own physique as a reference, even resorting to self-mutilation to practice, tempering his flesh, strengthening his tendons and bones, enhancing his internal organs, and bringing out the full potential of his body step by step.
Fortunately, with the talent of Reincarnation of Nirvana, even if he forcibly practiced and injured his internal organs, he could recover quickly without fear of injury.
At the same time, he nourished his body with his immense Qi and cleansed it with the Power of Truth. In just a few months, his physical limit reached a level that is unimaginable for ordinary people.
“Damn!” Lu Yuan could only spit out a word.
Jiang Ming’s gaze became cold, looking at the other party and couldn’t help but frown, “You’re covered in dirt and your hair is disheveled, have you been chased and killed?”
“No, with your current strength, there aren’t many who can chase and kill you. In this city, I haven’t felt the presence of a Great Grandmaster.”
“So, it’s for me.”
“Something happened? Involving me?” Jiang Ming’s frown deepened, and he closed his eyes, releasing terrifying Killing Qi as if it became substantial. His voice didn’t stop, “The only thing that concerns me and makes you so anxious must be the Heavenly Martial Army or the Black Wind Village. I already entrusted the Ninth Princess to take care of the Heavenly Martial Army, and she would inform me the moment anything went wrong. So, it must be that something happened to the Black Wind Village. Last time you left to go to the southwest, and that was where the Black Wind Village was.”
“Was it slaughtered?”
“Nine out of ten chances!”
“It’s not hard for people to investigate the relationship between me and Black Wind Village.”
“I’ve already been labeled as the Big Demon Head, and many forces in the world of martial arts want to hunt me down together. By causing trouble there, it would provoke my anger, getting me to start a massacre? Or use the forces of the Jianghu Alliance to consume my power?”
“Heh…”
Jiang Ming opened his eyes, shooting out two substantial rays of light, “Brother Lu, am I right?”
Lu Yuan opened his mouth and finally nodded with a heavy heart, “I went over there to look around since it wasn’t far away and found the entire mountain littered with corpses, not a single survivor. Brother Jiang, my condolences!”
“Did you find any clues?”
“No. Common cultivation skills were used, but all of them were fatal and efficient.”
“Interesting. Whether they’re trying to sow discord or forcing me to go mad and exhaust my power, I’ll make them regret it.” Jiang Ming clasped his hands behind his back and turned to look at the slightly rippling lake. “No matter who it is, they will eventually reveal themselves. Sigh, although I don’t have much affection for the mountain stronghold, it was once my dwelling place, and I had put my heart into managing it. I had thought that with my Great Grandmaster Realm cultivation, even if someone wanted to deal with me, they wouldn’t target the stronghold first, because once discovered, no one can bear the wrath of a Great Grandmaster. I underestimated people after all.”
“Brother Lu, I have a favor to ask of you. Can you watch over Tianwu Manor these days?” Jiang Ming’s voice was solemn.
Lu Yuan’s heart chilled, “Alright!”
He showed hesitation but did not speak.
Watch over Tianwu Manor?
As the master of the manor, can’t a Great Grandmaster secure it? There’s only one possibility: he’s about to go on a killing spree, and when he goes mad with killing, it’s inevitable that someone will seize the opportunity to bloodbath the manor.
At this time, another figure appeared on the lake surface, treading on the water like a fairy walking on waves. However, compared to Lu Yuan’s elegance, she was still somewhat lacking.
It was none other than Constable Jin.
After bounding up to Jiang Ming’s side, she glanced at Lu Yuan and then felt the intense murderous intent on Jiang Ming that made her heart tremble in fear. She pursed her lips and said, “Brother Jiang, you already know?”
“I know, Black Wind Village was slaughtered!” Jiang Ming nodded, his tone calm. It was this very calmness that sent a chill down Constable Jin’s spine. She quickly said, “We have already sent people to investigate. Brother Jiang, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Help me protect Tianwu Manor, okay?” This manor was one of the ones on the north side of the lake. Now, it was being managed by Lan and there were still quite a few servants like Old Ma.
“Alright!”
“Also, help me keep an eye on the Demon Exterminating Army!”
“Alright!”
“You’re free to browse the cultivation skill manuals and secret techniques in my study!”
“Brother Jiang, I’m not… alright, thank you.” Constable Jin tried to explain but ended up immediately agreeing.
Although they hadn’t known each other for long, she knew Jiang Ming’s character.
He truly didn’t care about so-called unique techniques and secret methods.
“Brother Jiang, they’ve already set off in this direction, with a large number of people. Normally, even a large crowd wouldn’t dare to deal with a Great Grandmaster. But they’re coming. Apart from being blinded by numerous cultivation skills and secret techniques, they must firmly believe that they have a chance to kill you. That means there must be a Great Grandmaster behind them, and probably more than one!” Constable Jin voiced her conjecture with great urgency and concern.
“Great Grandmaster? Whoever comes will die!” Jiang Ming reached out and grabbed, a torrent of qi gushing out, condensing into a hundred-meter-long sword in his hand.
Qi condensed into a weapon—a hundred-meter-long sword?
It was not just sword qi, but a substantial weapon formed from qi.
This scene almost made Constable Jin and Lu Yuan’s eyes pop out in astonishment.
Jiang Ming dropped the sword from the sky, splitting the lake in half and raising a terrifying wave.
“Inhuman!” Constable Jin exclaimed involuntarily.
“Only when I can cut Mount Dependence City in half with a single sword will I have entered the threshold of inhumanity!” Jiang Ming replied, causing Constable Jin to want to curse aloud: Split the city in half with one sword? You really dare to think! Do you think you’re an immortal!
Lu Yuan stared at the sky in silence.
Three days later, at a hill five miles outside the east City Gate, Jiang Ming stood atop it.
He carried a saber and a sword on his back.
It was the divine weapon given to him by the Ninth Princess, which he named the Heaven Slicing Saber and the Heaven Splitting Sword!
It held a special significance.
Today, blood would be shed.
“They’re here!”
A large group of people appeared in the distance, followed by an extremely thick cloud of killing qi, as if it wanted to engulf him completely.
