Chapter 215 The Day the Man-Made City Was Destroyed
Watching Jiang Yuan leave.
The hunched old man finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
The sense of oppression that boy exuded... was truly terrifying.
"It's good that only a martial arts attendant died," the hunchbacked old man said with relief.
Kitaharaji came to the ice and picked up a fragment of the remaining ice fan, which was the last proof of Saito Renka's existence.
I still remember the first time we met; I was seven years old.
That winter afternoon, little Saito Renju was led to him by a servant, her little face red from the cold, shy and bashful.
"Young Master Tera, from today onwards she will be your bodyguard. Her name is Renka, Saito Renka."
"A woman? I don't need a woman to be my bodyguard; she's too weak."
"No, don't underestimate me, I, I'm very capable."
"Oh? Then let's give it a try."
……
"Young Master Si is indeed very capable. May I... call you Young Master Si?"
"what ever."
……
"Young Master Si, Lianhua has learned this martial art."
"What's the big deal? I'm already a martial artist."
"As expected of young master Si. Lianhua will soon become a martial artist as well."
……
Scenes from the past flashed through my mind.
Kitaharaji murmured, "Just a samurai... huh?"
"Young Master Si?"
"Prepare the altar. I need to make a pact with that sword," Kitaharaji said slowly.
The hunched old man was taken aback, then exclaimed in shock, "Young Master Si, are you talking about that demonic sword?!"
"No, once you sign a contract with that sword, Young Master, you will..."
"Life perishes, the soul is forever trapped in illusion." Kitaharaji stood up and said, "I know."
"The only reason I'm still alive is because his next opponent isn't me; otherwise, killing me would be a piece of cake."
"With my current strength, I have absolutely no power to resist..."
"Rather than die at his hands, I'd rather fight back with all my might."
The hunched old man advised, "There must be other ways. You could hide in the ruins, or ask your family to let you, young master, be removed from the Grandmaster Tournament. You are that lord's son, I think it should be possible... You have the potential to become a king, so there is hope as long as you live."
"That's impossible." Kitaharaji shook his head. "My father has more than one son. The Kitahara family will not allow it, and my dignity will not allow me to run away."
"Go and prepare."
The hunched old man had a thousand words to say, but in the end, they all turned into a sigh.
"……yes."
In the distance, a phantom figure draped in a gray robe disappeared.
He was the future king of the Kitahara family, a member of a different family whom the Kitahara family had been training for many years, and the father of Saito Renka.
His actions depended on Kitaharaji's resolve.
...............
Jiang Yuan chose to leave because he sensed the aura of the quasi-king and the approach of the Angel of Death.
Otherwise, he would get his hands on one of the three starter families' collections no matter what.
After all, even the Lions Club, which is far inferior to the three founding families, possesses top-tier treasures like the [Bone of a Saint]. The treasures of the three founding families must be even more precious and rare.
According to information from Gokurakukan.
The most precious possession of the Shingu family is a robe and feather garment.
The Kitahara family is a cursed sword.
The Musashi family has a pair of magatama.
"Once we deal with the threat of the Angel of Death, we'll get our hands on all of those."
Jiang Yuan's eyes sparkled and shone brightly.
Reach out and tap the void to open the Grand Tournament rankings.
The remaining number of players in the Grand Slam is... 17.
Jiang Yuan currently has six stars, and he still needs to complete four more battles to win.
The opponent for the next battle has not yet appeared.
"Whoosh—!"
A beam of death ray pierced through the clouds, shooting from the horizon.
Jiang Yuan threw a backhand punch.
"boom!!"
Two terrifying forces exploded in the sky, sending Jiang Yuan flying backwards for a hundred meters.
He glanced at his right fist, now stained gray and lifeless.
Jiang Yuan looked up.
The figure of the Angel of Death appeared atop a tall building in the distance.
"hehe."
"I'd like to see how long you can remain so arrogant," Jiang Yuan sneered, his figure disappearing once more.
The Angel of Death followed closely behind.
Wherever He went, death spread through the towns like a plague.
Many townspeople either died at the hands of the demonic insects or were afflicted by the deathly aura carried by the angels of death. The deathly pallor and the demonic insect plague spread rapidly throughout the artificial city, like two drops of ink on the surface of water.
The death toll has now exceeded 10.
And the death toll is still rising rapidly.
Not long after.
The Angel of Death catches up with Jiang Yuan once again.
After a fierce battle.
Jiang Yuan took out an epic weapon, the [Broken Sword of the Void], and shattered Him into pieces once more, banishing Him to the void.
But it's only temporary.
……
【True Sight】
Jiang Yuan unleashed this skill after a long absence. With the blessing of the Yang God, a giant True Sight Divine Eye appeared above the city, overlooking the entire city and searching for the location of the [Angel's Holy Scripture].
They realized his purpose.
Lord Shu, located at the Fukuzu Shrine, changed his expression.
"There are even detection skills of this level."
"It would be terrible if he found the [Angelic Codex]!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lord Xiu immediately made his move. With a single grasp, the body of a beautiful and charming shrine maiden within the shrine shattered, and her blood transformed into blood crystal arrows that fell into his hand, bursting forth as a beam of red light!
"Whoosh!"
This attack shattered the True Sight Eye in mid-air!
"boom!!!"
Jiang Yuan opened his eyes and laughed, "Too late."
Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he pretty much knew where the book was.
Through system information.
I immediately sent a message to Yumi Miyata.
Her eyes lit up when she received the news, as she was in charge of finding the [Angel Codex].
"receive!"
She immediately rushed to the public library.
Jiang Yuan then looked at the swarm of demonic insects flying towards them from afar, like dark clouds pressing down and swallowing everything in their path.
There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"Although they are all low-level monsters,"
"But with so many of them, I should get over ten thousand experience points, enough for me to level up again..."
……
They realized that the "Angelic Scripture" might have been discovered.
Lord Xiu's face was gloomy.
The remaining few beautiful priestesses, each with their own unique style and hair color, remained listless, going about their work as if they were puppets on strings.
The high priest beside him sighed, "This island has been abandoned by fate and is on the verge of destruction. The resurgence of the God of Calamity is inevitable, and the Grand War will also take an unpredictable turn... Your three founding families' century-long plan for the birth of a divine child has failed."
"not yet!"
Lord Xiu said angrily.
"As long as we kill him, it's not too late!"
As he spoke, he took out a rare, high-level summoning scroll and tore it to shreds!
"Buzz—!"
In an instant, a massive magic circle appeared above the city.
Followed by.
The earth cracked open, and the city trembled.
A gigantic, mountain-sized, deformed monster crawled out from the depths of the earth!
"roar--!!"
It let out a deafening roar, the sound waves destroying the surrounding houses, and a purple beam of light shot into the sky from its mouth, leveling a street in front of it!
"Whoosh!"
Three layers of barriers appeared outside the Paradise Pavilion, blocking the unstoppable shockwave.
Sakura, who had taken over Jingu Yu from Yoru, looked at the giant, deformed monster that had appeared in the city with a solemn expression.
"【Hiruko-gami】, the three starter families actually released something like this..."
The blond-haired boy, Ren, swallowed hard. "Hiruko-gami? What's that?"
Black Serpent said in a deep voice, "It is an artificial monster created by the three families using the bones and flesh of the God of Calamity, combined with modern magic, materials and tools! It only knows how to kill and destroy, and its strength is comparable to that of a quasi-king."
"Another monster comparable to a quasi-king?! The three starter families really have a lot of trump cards..." Ren couldn't help but sigh.
Sakura sighed, "What surprises me even more than that is that guy's power; he actually managed to push the three starter families to this point..."
The combined attack by two quasi-kings and a large group of ninth-tier grandmasters ended in failure.
Summoning the Angel of Death is one thing, but now even Hiruko-gami has been dispatched...
What exactly did that boy named Shirakawa do to the three main families?!
The black snake glanced at the night, and at the unconscious Shen Gongyu, who was placed in the sealing array, and frowned slightly:
"This girl..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
The stunningly beautiful Sakura saw in the distance that Hiruko-gami, with her long, thin limbs supporting her deformed body, suddenly turned her head to look at her, and her pupils contracted slightly.
The monster opened its massive maw, and a dazzling purple light condensed within.
"Whoosh!!"
A purple light flashed through the air, sweeping across the street like a giant sword, annihilating everything in its path.
Just as it was about to hit the Paradise Mansion.
Sakura shouted, "Snake!"
Black Snake: "I know!"
The black snake instantly made its move, breaking out of the barrier. Its body transformed into an extremely large, pitch-black giant snake, coiling up to protect the entire Paradise Pavilion and releasing several layers of defensive barriers to resist the purple beam of light!
"Bang!!"
The purple beam of light collided with the defensive barrier, unleashing a massive surge of energy and a violent flow of air!
The entire Paradise Palace was shaking violently!
Hiruko-shin gathered her strength and increased her energy output once again.
"Boom...Crack!!"
The layers of protective barriers shattered like glass, and countless cuts immediately appeared on the body of the black serpent, splattering blood everywhere.
"Snake!" the young man, Ren, shouted.
The enormous pupils of the jet-black serpent flashed.
"Sizzle!"
The blood that spurted from its body transformed into a swarm of snakes, each as thick as a well. Hundreds and thousands of giant snakes slithered through the streets, biting Hiruko-gami!
"roar!!"
As if provoked, Hiruko-gami roared angrily, its body writhing as it grew another head, spewing out hellfire that instantly annihilated the swarm of snakes and melted the street!
"Buzz—!"
Hiruko-gami's body glowed with an eerie black light, and an inexplicable power descended instantly, crushing the black serpent and causing its body to decay and age rapidly.
Just now.
"Whoosh!!"
A tearing sound came from the air.
A slash wreathed in flames roared down from the horizon, seemingly traversing space, and severed Hiruko-gami's arm in one strike!
Hiruko-gami let out a painful scream, a scream that was extremely piercing and sharp.
Young Ren and Sakura looked up.
Under a gloomy sky.
A golden beam of light streaked across the sky like a meteor, leaving behind a long-lasting golden line of fire above the city.
Before the wildly flying insects could even get close, they spontaneously combusted and turned to ashes in an instant.
Wherever it passed, tens of thousands of demonic insects were reduced to ashes! They didn't even have a chance to struggle.
"Whoosh!"
A golden figure flew from afar toward the city center.
Tiny black and red flames drifted from his body, scattering like fireworks in the night sky towards the city overrun by demonic insects—a beautiful and dreamlike sight.
But wherever the black and red flames landed, it instantly turned into a sea of fire!
A terrifying heatwave spread, turning the earth into molten lava, melting buildings, and burning people and hordes of demonic insects to ashes!
If it is the Angel of Death, it represents death.
Then he represents the ultimate destruction!
"To be able to destroy a city in an instant, is that... his power?" Sakura murmured, as if in a dream.
""
Looking at the golden figure that stopped high in the sky, the young Lian's eyes were filled with endless awe and fear. He made up his mind that even if he died, he would never be his enemy!
The city's survivors and a small number of hunters looked up, their expressions filled with awe as they gazed at the golden figure.
"who is he?"
"Are they the ones who came to rescue us?"
"have no idea……"
"Mom, I... I feel like I can't breathe," a boy cried out.
Others had similar feelings, which only improved slightly when they looked away.
They realized this.
The hunters from the Sakura Kingdom looked at the figure with increasing fear and dread, as if they were looking at a ghost or a god.
"That's terrifying."
"Who exactly is he?!"
……
[Ding! Your level has increased to LV60. All attributes +10, free attribute +10]
A system notification sounded in Jiang Yuan's ear.
Having killed countless demonic insects along the way, and having absorbed the pure blood and qi of several ninth-level grandmasters and quasi-kings, Jiang Yuan has finally broken through the shackles of advancing from a mid-level martial artist to a high-level martial artist, becoming a genuine seventh-level martial artist!
"roar!!"
Hiruko-shin roared and split off countless arms to grab at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan raised his hand and pressed down indifferently.
"die."
The dragon magic loop, which had reached 15,000 points, was instantly cleared. Two magic arrays unfolded in front of Jiang Yuan, rotating and splitting like intricate gears, with magic flowing towards the center of the arrays.
【Shadow Thunder Death Spear】
【Dark Dragon Breath】
"BOOM!!"
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, like a divine sword cleaving through the dark heavens.
Two incredibly powerful high-level spells crashed down!
The Dark Dragon's breath destroyed all the attacking arms, and the Yin Thunder Death Spear transformed into a bolt of lightning that pierced through Hiruko God's blood-red shield and through his head, like a giant thunder nail, pinning him firmly to the ground!
Jiang Yuan slashed out with his sword again.
Heavenly Flame Devourer!
Demigod-level talent + a perfect nine-star martial skill imbued with the power of the void!
This strike was extremely powerful.
After the first cut.
With superhuman regenerative abilities and near-King-level strength, Hiruko-gami vanished from the city center along with the streets, leaving behind a dark crack several kilometers long.
"!!!"
The black snake, after reverting to human form, was so shocked by the scene before it that its mind went blank, leaving it speechless.
Jiang Yuan turned his head to look in a certain direction.
"Whoosh!"
The Angel of Death has reappeared.
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "You're late this time."
"Master, I've found it!!"
Yumi Miyata rushed out of the public library excitedly, holding the book "Angel's Original Text" in her hand.
"As expected, it's here..."
She hadn't finished speaking.
A hand emerged from her chest, splattering blood everywhere, its palm clutching a heart.
"!!"
Jiang Yuan's pupils constricted slightly.
The pink-haired girl had blood trickling from the corner of her mouth and stared blankly down at the scene:
"...Huh?"
