Just then, the sword light of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden arrived.

The sword light wasn't particularly impressive, only about three feet thick, yet it pierced Jiang Chengye's chest without warning.

The strangest thing was that it wasn't until a large hole appeared in Jiang Chengye's chest that everyone belatedly realized the existence of the sword light.

"The Sword of Cause and Effect!"

A martial artist found the memory of this once-powerful celestial artifact in his mind and exclaimed in shock.

Wherever the sword goes, there is no way to avoid it or defend against it.

Even kings and nobles are not allowed!

The power of killing resembles cause and effect.

At the same time, it wasn't just three people who attacked. In that instant, at least thirty more martial artists from the Mountain and Sea Realm attacked together. Even Lin Sanmo and Bai Fei unleashed their strongest attacks in their perfect forms.

Among the scavenger warriors, dozens joined forces to weave a massive formation in an attempt to trap Jiang Chengye.

In that instant, the overwhelming Yuan energy converged entirely into the small space where Jiang Chengye was located.

Buzz!

Jiang Chengye tried to raise his hand to resist, but the notes Cheng Qingqing played made his body tremble and his consciousness go blank for a moment.

Those present were all top experts from the mountains and seas, so their grasp of timing was beyond question. Apart from a few scattered attacks, the powerful energy of all their other supernatural abilities and high-star martial arts techniques was poured onto Jiang Chengye at this moment.

"It worked?"

Erlang Shen was overjoyed and then burst into laughter, "Having devoured the Heavenly Emperor's heart, Jiang Chengye has become a mindless monster. Without intelligence, what good is his strength!"

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Erlang Shen did not relax in the slightest. He continued to strike Jiang Chengye, who was now on the defensive, with over a hundred blows in the instant before his Yuan energy exploded.

boom!

Until all the energies collided, Erlang Shen managed to retreat before the aftershocks dissipated, watching as Jiang Chengye was directly engulfed by countless rays of light.

"Even kings and nobles couldn't just stand still and endure this level of concentrated fire, could they?"

All eyes were fixed on the center where the light was converging.

When the tremors of space and the aftershocks of the Yuan energy finally dissipated, a broken figure stood in the same spot.

After seeing Jiang Chengye's appearance clearly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Jiang Chengye's body was covered with hundreds of wounds of varying sizes, and the most vital area between his chest and abdomen had exposed his white bones and golden internal organs.

His eyes were closed, his head was bowed, and his breath was barely perceptible.

The invisible pressure that had been covering the surroundings seemed to vanish in an instant.

"The domain has dissipated... Jiang Chengye is dead?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Isn't this too easy?

Cheng Qingqing instinctively sensed something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, Erlang Shen rushed towards Jiang Chengye, seemingly trying to snatch the halberd floating beside him.

Thump!

Just then, a muffled sound like a drumbeat echoed between heaven and earth.

Jiang Chengye's lungs were forced open, revealing a pitch-black heart, which was slowly beating.

Erlang Shen, who had already rushed close to Jiang Chengye, suddenly changed his expression and was about to back away when Jiang Chengye suddenly raised his head.

His eyes, when he opened them again, were filled with violence.

With a swift movement, Jiang Chengye caught up with the retreating Erlang Shen and grabbed one of his arms.

laugh!

Immediately, amidst Erlang Shen's earth-shattering screams, Jiang Chengye smiled cruelly, exerted force with his palm, and actually ripped the arm off his back.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Erlang Shen's aura instantly weakened. He paid the price of having both of his arms torn off before finally managing to escape from Jiang Chengye's clutches with the help of Cheng Qingqing and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

During this process, to everyone's astonishment, the gruesome and potentially fatal wounds on Jiang Chengye's body healed at an incredible speed, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Immortal and indestructible... Even if it's not a true Emperor-level powerhouse, its heart retains many characteristics of Emperor-level powerhouses..."

Cheng Qingqing thought of something and closed her eyes in pain and despair.

"escape!"

Erlang Shen, who had immediately lost all fighting spirit, transformed into a bloody light and tried to escape into the distance.

But with a "buzz," the distorted ripples covering tens of thousands of meters reappeared, enveloping the entire Yaochi Palace area and making everyone feel as if they were trapped in a muddy current, their movements sluggish.

He instantly transformed into Erlang Shen, moving at a snail's pace, gazing at the unreachable distance, and finally despaired completely.

Jiang Chengye grinned maliciously, transforming into a streak of black light that flashed through Yaochi Palace in the blink of an eye, leaving an irregular, blood-red trail.

Wherever it passed, all the martial artists were smashed to pieces and turned into a pile of mud.

In less than a second, more than a dozen people died.

This most primitive method of killing sent chills down everyone's spine.

Blood rained down inside Yaochi Palace. Cheng Qingqing, holding her guqin, retreated to the front of Qu Bai and the others. Looking at the panicked and fleeing crowd, and Jiang Chengye, who took a life with every move, she finally revealed a bitter smile.

"Am I really going to die here?"

Cheng Qingqing looked around but still couldn't see that familiar figure. A hint of relief mixed with resentment mingled with her thoughts. "That kid really did run away early? He's a bit too alert... But it's for the best, it's for the best..."

Clang!

Suddenly, a clear and melodious sword cry rang out in mid-air. Cheng Qingqing looked up and saw that the pale-faced Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had once again slashed out with the Karma Sword in her hand, accurately piercing Jiang Chengye's throat.
