Taking Action
At this moment, on the battlefield, King Jiang and Marshal Tie Poyun, both exuding the aura of the Heavenly Realm, leapt from the flagship like meteors. They smashed into the battlefield where Jiang Baisheng and Feng Mobai were fighting, engaging them in fierce combat.
"The Jiang Dynasty!"
"We never expected you to show up here!"
Jiang Baisheng and Feng Mobai's expressions changed slightly as the presence of the Jiang Dynasty's experts reversed the previously one-sided battle.
The sheer power of the Earth Realm experts, along with the brutal efficiency of the Golden Armored Guards and God-Slaying Guards, turned the tide.
"Ahhh!"
"This… this is impossible!"
"How can the Jiang Dynasty have so many Earth experts?! This can't be real!" screamed several elders of Blazing Heaven Island.
The battlefield now revealed an astonishing reality: over 30 Earth experts from the Jiang Dynasty, including more than a dozen at the peak of the Earth Realm. This overwhelming force was enough to rival the combined strength of the three invading factions, even with the Qian Family's diminished numbers.
The morale of Xuanyuan Mountain, Evil Moon Hall, and Blazing Heaven Island plummeted as their disciples began falling one by one. Meanwhile, the Qian Family, emboldened by their allies, fought with renewed vigor. The battle had reached a fever pitch.
Jiang HuanYu, still standing on the flagship's deck, surveyed the battlefield below with calm intensity. Suddenly, he felt something peculiar and lightly tapped his foot.
A black venomous snake was crushed beneath his step, split cleanly in two.
"Hmm?"
"Insect manipulation… a venomous summoner's art."
He glanced at the dead snake, its body radiating a potent, deadly toxin. Someone was clearly attempting an assassination.
Inside the tea house, Death Centipede frowned, his calm demeanor shattered by surprise.
"How… How could he have detected that?!"
His venomous snake was nearly undetectable, moving with extreme speed that even most Heavenly experts would struggle to notice.
Jiang HuanYu's ability to both sense and neutralize it while focused elsewhere left Death Centipede deeply unsettled.
"This Jiang HuanYu… He's far more dangerous than he appears."
Above, the fight between Qian Jiuqiu, Feng Mobai, and Shen Ningfa had turned. The arrival of King Jiang caused the dynamics to shift to a two-on-two battle, where neither side could gain the upper hand.
The overwhelming number of Earth experts from the Jiang Dynasty wreaked havoc on the three invading factions. Losses on their side continued to mount.
"Capture the leader, and the battle is ours!"
"Brother Yuan, Brother Jiang, create an opening so we can seize Jiang HuanYu. We can use him to control the Jiang forces!" Feng Mobai transmitted it to his allies.
Their target was clear: Jiang HuanYu, who stood alone on the ship, seemingly unprotected.
"Agreed!"
Jiang Baisheng and Yuan Tianzong nodded in unison.
Suddenly, Feng Mobai and Shen Ningfa unleashed a burst of power, attacking Tie Poyun and the Qian Family Patriarch, forcing them to retreat temporarily.
"Now!"
Jiang Baisheng leapt forward to cover, while Yuan Tianzong rushed toward Jiang HuanYu with full force.
Jiang HuanYu, still holding the remnants of the venomous snake, turned his gaze to the tea house where Death Centipede sat, a sly grin forming on his lips.
As he looked back, Yuan Tianzong was already bearing down on him.
"Danger! Protect His Majesty!" shouted the Qian Family elders, panic evident in their voices.
Qian Xinrou also turned her gaze toward Jiang HuanYu, confused by his utter lack of fear or concern.
"This doesn't seem right…" she muttered. Jiang HuanYu's expression betrayed no panic—only a calm, confident smile.
"Well, I suppose it's time for me to stretch a bit," Jiang HuanYu said nonchalantly, watching Yuan Tianzong close the distance.
Raising his hand slowly, Jiang HuanYu extended his fingers.
"Fool! You seek your own death!" Yuan Tianzong sneered, his blade poised to strike.
But before he could react, a faint sword light emerged from Jiang HuanYu's palm.
Whoosh!
In an instant, a thousand-meter-long sword beam erupted, faster than lightning, piercing Yuan Tianzong's body and suspending him in the sky.
Blood dripped from the gaping wound in Yuan Tianzong's chest, his eyes wide with terror and disbelief.
"You… How… How can you possess such power?!" he stammered, his voice trembling.
The entire battlefield froze as all eyes turned toward Jiang HuanYu. Even the Heavenly experts ceased fighting, their gazes locked on the suspended figure.
Death Centipede, though blindfolded, also sat in stunned silence, his expression betraying the shock he felt.
Jiang HuanYu smirked. "Island Master Yuan, I never claimed to be weak.
"You simply assumed that because of my youth, my strength had limits. But let me tell you:
"For some, the summit of your life's effort is nothing more than the starting point for others."
He stepped forward, the sword beam shrinking as it pulled Yuan Tianzong's struggling body closer.
"Mercy! Please, have mercy! I know I was wrong!" Yuan Tianzong begged, his former composure crumbling under the weight of impending death.
"Please spare me! I'll do anything! Don't kill me!"
But Jiang HuanYu's expression remained cold.
"Your schemes with the Great Dream Empire to harm my father… Today, that debt will be repaid."
With a flick of his wrist, the sword beam expanded.
Swoosh!
Yuan Tianzong's body was cleaved in half, his lifeless remains falling to the battlefield below.
Jiang HuanYu turned to the remaining leaders of the invading factions, his voice steady and commanding:
"Now then, who's next?"
The stunned silence of the battlefield was deafening, broken only by the whispers of terrified disciples. The arrogance of the three factions had vanished, replaced by sheer terror in the face of Jiang HuanYu's overwhelming might.
