Chapter 620 - Westward Journey
Chapter 620 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" begins revealing: Watching a peak Outer Building cultivator turn to flying ashes in an instant.Xiang Qianâs heart... Continue the adventure!
Watching a peak Outer Building cultivator turn to flying ashes in an instant.Xiang Qianâs heart was still shaking, although news of Jiang Wangâs exploits continually came from Qingyang Town, this was the first time he had witnessed Jiang Wangâs divine skills.
He knew Jiang Wang was no longer the man he used to be, but he hadnât realized that he had become this powerful!
However, the shock didnât last long because an assassin from Hell Has No Door had already arrived.
The person was neither tall nor short, and because of the overly large black robe, it was impossible to discern their figure.
The person hovered in the sky, backlit by the moon, a strong pressure naturally pouring down.
A Yama mask covered the face, and within that Taoist gateway, three characters read âKing of Chu Jiang.â
The second-in-command of the Ten Kings of Yama, the King of Chu Jiang!
It hadnât been long, but it felt interminable.
âStealing my business?â
The moment the voice spoke, Jiang Wang realized that Hell Has No Doorâs Number Two, King of Chu Jiang, was actually a woman.
Her voice was cold as ice.
Among all the memorable voices Jiang Wang had heard, it bore a certain resemblance to that of Li Fengyao.
But if Li Fengyaoâs voice was cold and aloof, this womanâs was chilling to the bone.
When Jiang Wang paid the deposit, he had not known who from Hell Has No Door would take the job, he had thought it would be Yin Guan, since Yin Guan had parted from him not long ago and should have been nearby.
But it was the King of Chu Jiang he had never dealt with before who came.
Solitary cultivation to erecting four Star Towers was already a peak Outer Building cultivation level.
But cultivation level does not equate to fighting power.
Even within the Outer Building realm, this King of Chu Jiang felt many times more dreadful than Hai Zongming.
At least Jiang Wang dared to fight Hai Zongming, but he didnât think he stood any chance in front of the King of Chu Jiang.
âActually, the one who posted this job with your organization was me,â Jiang Wang hastily said.
The King of Chu Jiang looked at him but said nothing.
Jiang Wang continued to explain, âThis is what happened, Hai Zongming was hunting me, for safety reasons, I posted the task with your organization immediately.
But unexpectedly, before your organization could carry out the task, he had already caught up with me.
I had to fight for my life, and thankfully, I won!â
If the person who came had been Yin Guan, he might have been able to reveal his cunning plan boldly.
But to this unfamiliar Lord of Yama, intuition told him it was better to keep a low profile.
âSo, the task is automatically canceled.
Of course, I know the rules.
The deposit does not need to be returned.â
The King of Chu Jiang remained silent, continuing to watch Jiang Wang quietly.
Jiang Wang knew he had taken advantage of Hell Has No Door as a safety net, and wanted to ensure his own safety without spending more money, so he was nominally at fault first.
Facing the King of Chu Jiangâs unpredictable moods, he was somewhat anxious.
After all, an organization such as Hell Has No Door was not known for being reasonable,
After some thought, he braved himself to say, âOr perhaps, do you require an appearance fee?â
He was somewhat distressed, for having just used the Samadhi True Fire to turn Hai Zongming to ashes, the treasures on his person had not been well preserved.
There was only a Body-Binding Chain entangled with a Chain of Dragon Binding.
Of course, it was just distress.
There was no regret, nor was there room for it.
Facing a fourth-floor cultivator like Hai Zongming, even having known all of Hai Zongmingâs intelligence in advance and made full preparations, he certainly had no possibility of holding back.
âHeh,â the King of Chu Jiang suddenly laughed.
She seemed especially stingy with her laughter, giving just a brief sound before abruptly cutting it off.
Allowing that chilling, piercing feeling to continue spreading.
âKing of Qin Guang said youâre an interesting person, and you really are interesting,â she said.
Jiang Wangâs heart felt lighter; since Yin Guan had communicated with her, then Hell Has No Door on this end, shouldnât be too concerned about anything.
And there wasnât much to fuss over anyway.
After all, he had paid, fifty Prime Stones for nothing, just to make a trip.
If someone offered him that price, heâd be willing to run every day, and live a life of extravagant spending that Jiang Anan could enjoy for a lifetime.
âSo, about this matterâŚâ Jiang Wang tentatively asked.
âIt ends here.â King of Chu Jiang didnât say much, simply turning around and departing abruptly, just as he had arrived.
âPhew!â
The one who let out a sigh of relief was Xiang Qian.
âBeing with you really makes my heart race with fear.
Why should a nameless cultivator at the Cultivation Level of soaring dragon suffer such scares!â
Hovering above the collapsing Western Camel Peak, Jiang Wang turned to look at him.
As Xiang Qian had said, he was only at the Cultivation Level of soaring dragon, yet he still hadnât refused Jiang Wangâs suggestion to jointly kill Hai Zongming.
Could it be that, at heart, he also couldnât stand the loneliness?
âI owe you one.
Your swordsmanship is very strong, extremely strong!â Jiang Wang said earnestly, âAmong all the swordsmanship Iâve encountered, yours ranks first!â
In truth, despite the difference in realms and strength, and without any preparation for a head-on confrontation, they were no match at all.
But after comprehensively analyzing the information on Hai Zongming and making targeted decisions, Jiang Wang had a certain confidence in himself.
It is known that even Zhongxuan Chuliang had been solicited by Zhongxuan Sheng for advice, and Hai Zongmingâs combat options had almost been completely anticipated.
He had asked Xiang Qian to lend a hand in the guise of friendship because he actually wanted to help him build confidence.
And indeed, Xiang Qianâs performance had once again amazed him.
A cultivator at the Cultivation Level of soaring dragon managed to briefly confront a cultivator from the External Building Environment!
Even with prior preparation, even having set up several Sword Arrays, even borrowing the power of a powerful flying sword, and even without truly injuring Hai Zongming, in Jiang Wangâs view, there was no swordsmanship capable of achieving this feat.
Could this be the supreme swordsmanship that dominates an era?
Xiang Qian silently watched Jiang Wang for a while, understanding his expectations.
âYou think itâs very strong, donât you?â
He closed his eyes, the sharpness from the clash with Hai Zongming fading away: âThatâs exactly why I am in despair.â
A Xiang Qian at the Cultivation Level of soaring dragon was already this strong.
How strong must his invincible Dongzhen master be?
How terrifying must the true Dongzhen realmâs Sole Sword Dao be?
Such a strong swordsmanship, such a terrifying swordsmanship.
And yet, it met with an unequivocal, effortless defeat!
Thatâs why despair!
Jiang Wang shifted his gaze from Xiang Qian, looking at the crumbled Western Camel Peak, stones scattered everywhere, water from the underground river drawn by Hai Zongming meandering through, forming pools of mud.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Jade Balance Peak.
On that day, Jade Balance Peak had collapsed before him, which was his choice.
It was also on that day that he witnessed the cruel side of this world with his own eyes.
âSuch a majestic mountain collapses in but an instant.
Yet, it took an endless number of years to accumulate,â said Jiang Wang.
âThe Dongzhen realm, and even realms above Dongzhen, are all cultivated from the Circulation Realm.â
He didnât give Xiang Qian a long lecture, just said these two lines, then patted his shoulder, âWe need to run, and fast!â
And he took the lead, flying away to the west straightaway.
Xiang Qian was stunned for a moment before he realized the situation.
Although there were no significant powers near Camel Mountain, the collapse of half the mountain and the surge of the underground river causing a permanent change in the topography would surely attract some peopleâs attention.
This was the Central Region, where cultivators were notoriously arrogant.
If they didnât escape quickly, they would inevitably run into trouble.
âHey!â
âAt least take me with you!â
âIâm just a nameless little cultivator at the Cultivation Level of soaring dragonâŚâ
