Chapter 106: Death to the Transmigrator
What?
Those who hadn't taken action were stunned.
The General's Mansion was currently the most powerful force in Ming Province, even surpassing the Pure Yang Sect and the Marquis of Northern Suppression's residence. But now, someone actually showed no fear of the General's Mansion's reputation?
"We…"
The Great Ascension cultivator tried to speak again.
"Enough noise!"
Li Changsheng flicked his finger.
Boom!
The Great Ascension cultivator's body exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
"How is this possible…"
The others were speechless. Even the Transcendence cultivators from the General's Mansion were at a loss for words.
That was a peak Great Ascension cultivator! A strong figure even within the General's Mansion. But now…
"Run!"
Someone shouted, and the dozen or so severely injured individuals who hadn't been helping Xiao Zhengyan scattered in all directions, fleeing like frightened animals.
"Do you think you can escape?"
Li Changsheng's voice was ice-cold.
"Swoosh!"
Sword energy surged from his body, and dozens of blinding sword lights shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the fleeing figures.
In half a breath, all the fleeing individuals were caught by the sword energy and exploded into blood mist in mid-air.
"Li Changsheng!"
Xiao Zhengyan, who was still battling the demonic tiger, saw Li Changsheng approaching on his jade boat.
At this moment, Li Changsheng wasn't disguising his appearance, and Xiao Zhengyan immediately recognized the man he had been wary of all along.
The faces of Xiao Zhengyan and his companions turned pale.
The people who had been recovering outside the valley were all strong, but if Li Changsheng had appeared here, their fate was clear.
"Li Changsheng, are you really going to make an enemy of the General's Mansion?" Xiao Zhengyan shouted angrily. "The world is about to undergo a great upheaval. No matter who you are, only by joining our side will you have a chance of survival."
A sense of foreboding was growing in his heart.
Boom!
Xiao Zhengyan slashed at the tiger, forcing it back, and then used the momentum to retreat hundreds of meters, keeping a defensive stance as he watched Li Changsheng.
The others also kept an eye on the tiger while remaining on guard against Li Changsheng.
"Roar!"
The tiger let out a deafening roar and leaped into the air above the jade boat, opening its massive maw to swallow the boat whole.
It actually wanted to devour the jade boat in one bite!
"Young General, let the tiger deal with Li Changsheng first. We should regroup with the black-robed senior," a retainer from the General's Mansion urgently suggested.
He had already been injured during the formation earlier, and after helping Xiao Zhengyan fight the tiger, he was even more wounded. If he had to fight someone as unpredictable as Li Changsheng, he would likely meet a bad end.
"That's right, Young General."
"This man is clearly here with ill intentions. He must have some hidden cards up his sleeve."
"Now that the tiger is keeping him busy, this is our chance!"
The others chimed in as well.
Xiao Zhengyan gritted his teeth. Although he wanted to use the tiger's help to kill Li Changsheng, he knew that Li Changsheng wouldn't have appeared so openly without being fully prepared.
As Xiao Zhengyan hesitated—
"Crack!"
A dazzling sword light flashed.
The thousand-foot-tall Transcendence-level tiger was cleanly split in two from the middle.
The tiger's blood and organs rained down from the sky like a downpour.
"No need to look for him."
"After I kill you all, I'll make sure he reunites with you,"
Li Changsheng's cold voice echoed from the air.
But in the next moment, his figure appeared beside a Transcendence-level retainer from the General's Mansion.
"Sky-Splitting Strike!"
The Transcendence retainer, a seasoned fighter, quickly reacted. With a twist of his long blade, a ferocious blade light slashed toward Li Changsheng.
"Die."
Li Changsheng's face was expressionless. He extended his pale hand and pointed a finger at the blade light.
Boom!
Li Changsheng's finger pierced through the blade light and struck the retainer's head.
Boom!
The retainer's head exploded before his soul could even escape.
Before the body could fall, Li Changsheng appeared beside another Transcendence retainer.
Another finger point.
The retainer exploded!
"Monster! This man isn't human!"
"Run!"
The remaining three lost all will to fight. Ignoring Xiao Zhengyan, they turned and fled into the valley.
Xiao Zhengyan's face was also grim. He had already drawn a silver-white bow, pulling it into a full moon shape.
An arrow formed from condensed spiritual energy appeared on the fully drawn bow.
"Li Changsheng, die!"
With a furious shout, Xiao Zhengyan released the silver-white arrow, which shot straight toward Li Changsheng.
At the same time, Xiao Zhengyan himself shot toward the depths of the valley like an arrow, not even glancing back.
Although the bow in his hand was a quasi-immortal artifact, capable of unleashing power strong enough to kill a peak Transcendence cultivator, he knew this arrow wouldn't be enough to kill Li Changsheng.
From what Li Changsheng had just shown, his strength was at least at the Half-Step Human Immortal level.
All Xiao Zhengyan hoped for was that this arrow would delay Li Changsheng for a few breaths, giving him a chance to reach the black-robed senior and find a sliver of survival.
"Swoosh!"
Before he could hear any noise from behind, Xiao Zhengyan saw the three fleeing figures in front of him suddenly pierced by dozens of sword lights that burst from thin air, killing them instantly.
"Void Slaughter Sword Technique!"
"You're from the Diamond Sect!"
Xiao Zhengyan exclaimed in shock.
He now knew Li Changsheng's identity. He remembered that in his past life, over a hundred years later, after the barrier around the Tiannan Domain disappeared, the remnants of the Diamond Sect had reappeared.
And their leader had the strength of a Half-Step Human Immortal.
Even the Star River Sect had suffered losses at the hands of that Diamond Sect remnant.
That Diamond Sect remnant's most fearsome abilities were his elusive Void Slaughter Sword Technique and his incredibly strong body, exactly like Li Changsheng before him.
"Li Changsheng, you're a remnant of the Diamond Sect, harboring hatred for the Star River Sect. Now you have a chance. If you cooperate with me, in a hundred years, I'll help you destroy the Star River Sect!"
Xiao Zhengyan shouted loudly.
Boom!
Li Changsheng shattered the incoming arrow with a single punch.
"The Diamond Sect?"
"If you know the location of the Diamond Sect remnants, please let me know."
Li Changsheng appeared beside Xiao Zhengyan, formed a sword with his fingers, and pointed at Xiao Zhengyan's head.
Boom!
The powerful force shattered Xiao Zhengyan's protective artifact, and the finger strike reduced him to dust.
Li Changsheng collected all the storage bags and shot toward the depths of the valley.
Boom!
The battle deep within the valley had also reached its conclusion. Although the Half-Step Human Immortal-level tiger was powerful, it was no match for the black-robed Shadow Demon. The thousand-foot-tall body of the tiger collapsed with a thunderous crash.
The Shadow Demon turned and saw a young man in green standing on a small boat.
His gaze was as cold as ice.
As if he was looking at a dead man!
