Chapter 590

”Control the water veins of the world!?“

Jun Hezhai’s expression was momentarily dazed, and then he suddenly realized:

”I see, I see!!!

“Control the water veins of the world…

”Dragon Slaying Scripture, what a Dragon Slaying Scripture!!!”

The Golden Cicada Emperor gazed at the empty box in his hands and looked coldly at Jiang Ran:

“Hand it over.”

Jun Hezhai also looked at Jiang Ran with burning eyes, not at all moved by Jiang Ran’s earlier words.

Jiang Ran sighed:

“Sure enough, he’s not a low-IQ villain…it’s not that easy to fool him.”

Then he looked up at the two of them:

“To be honest, this Dragon Slaying Scripture has already been destroyed by this immortal.

”If you want it…I’m afraid it’s impossible.”

“Destroyed?“

The Golden Cicada Emperor was taken aback and immediately looked at the Princess Chang to confirm something.

The Princess Chang let out a breath:

”He’s right, it was indeed destroyed, right in front of my eyes.

“It was a golden silk scroll, destroyed by his internal strength, turned into golden dust all over the sky, never to be seen again.”

“Damn it!!!”

The Golden Cicada Emperor was furious.

What had been suppressed and never shown in front of others could finally no longer be restrained.

Streaks of wind power rose from his body, his sleeves rolling up and his hair flying.

The surrounding plants and trees bowed!

In the distance, the sound of a dragon’s roar could be heard, and the sky and clouds changed color. The originally clear sky suddenly grew even more gloomy.

The princess couldn’t help but widen her eyes:

“How is this possible?”

Jiang Ran was also a little taken aback:

“So you know martial arts?”

“I am the Son of Heaven!

“The court is full of treachery and intrigue, and the world is full of heroes.

“If I didn’t know martial arts, how could I have held onto the throne!

”Jiang Ran, you underestimate me!“

As the Golden Cicada Emperor finished speaking, Jun Hezai said,

”I don’t believe you would be willing to destroy such powerful weapons so easily.

“What’s more, since they know that it is the Dragon Slaying Scripture, they must have read its contents.

“Among these people, there may be some who have an eidetic memory. If we capture them all, we will be able to find out the key without any problem.”

As he spoke, word by word, figures appeared one after the other around him.

At this point, the plot was revealed, and naturally, all the necessary measures had to be taken.

However, these people were all unfamiliar to Jiang Ran.

He glanced back at Qingyuan Taizi:

“Qingyuan, do you know where they come from?“

Qingyuan narrowed his eyes and looked around. There were more than ten people in front of him, including the three great masters.

The aura of each of them was not to be underestimated.

But just by relying on their aura, he didn’t recognize any of them.

He could only shake his head:

”We have to be careful… I’m afraid their background is not simple.“

”If it were simple, Jun Hezhai wouldn’t have used them as bargaining chips and brought them here.”

Jiang Ran nodded slightly and glanced at the princess again:

“I say, should the two of us settle some scores?“

The princess was taken aback:

”With a formidable enemy at hand, what scores do you have with me?“

”These people are no ordinary people…“

Jiang Ran said softly:

”Any one of them, taken out of context, is a figure who is unrivalled in the world.

“Jun Hezai was originally worth 100,000 taels of gold, but now, with his wealth, a million taels of gold would not be an exaggeration, would it?

“These people are similar to Jun Hezai, but just look at the way they do whatever they’re told… Even if they’re not as good as Jun Hezai.

“I’ll give you a calculation… 500,000 taels of gold!”

“…”

The princess was grinding her teeth, of course, and the dead man was still thinking about this kind of thing at this time?

Even the golden cicada emperor opposite was angry, with veins popping out on his forehead:

“How dare you, Jiang Ran… What do you take my golden cicada treasury to be?”

“Oh, Your Majesty, if you don’t say anything, I almost forget you.“

Jiang Ran hurriedly said to the princess again:

”And this Your Majesty… the emperor rebelling against the throne should be punished like the common people.

“But this person is extraordinary after all, if you take this person, Princess, you must give me 5 million taels of gold?”

“How about I give you the golden cicada?”

The princess said this with her back teeth almost grinding.

“Don’t say such things. How could the emperor not be worth five million taels of gold?“

Jiang Ran reached out and helped the princess sort out her hair. He wasn’t sure if it was messed up by the wind or by Jiang Ran’s anger.

The princess didn’t know whether to be angry or coy.

Jiang Ran laughed and said,

”If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes.”

As soon as he said this, the masters, who had been holding back for a long time, could no longer hold back.

Ouyang Xue and Shang Wushu struck first.

One set the wind and clouds in motion, and wherever they passed, even the wind came to a halt.

His finger power broke the wind, and one finger followed another without pause.

However, with the power of thought, dozens of finger powers had already arrived.

Jiang Ran withdrew his gaze from the princess and turned his head, only to see a flash of rosy light in the sky.

The two finger powers had already met.

Shang Wushu had already been injured by Jiang Ran’s Heavenly Will Invincible Divine Technique, and now, as soon as they clashed, he was already injured by Jiang Ran’s internal strength.

He couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt, and he saw that one of his fingers was already red and swollen.

It seemed that if he applied a little more strength, it would snap.

At this moment, flower petals fell like rain.

Each one contained endless sharpness.

Jiang Ran’s gaze lifted slightly, and with one hand resting on the hilt of the sword, a cold wind arose from his body. The cold wind was a sword, the snow and ice were also swords. In this world of loneliness and wind, everything was a sword.

Ding, ding, ding!

The petals and the wind and snow collided, but what was heard was the sound of thousands of layers of iron and gold clashing.

When the sky was full of sharp edges and points, Ouyang Xue turned the sword with two fingers, and with a flick of the wrist, a loud noise could be heard!

This sword was not thrusting… it was smashing!

The power was far greater than all the previous moves.

Jiang Ran’s eyes lit up slightly at this sight:

“Interesting…”

However interesting, the sword ultimately stopped three inches in front of Jiang Ran.

It could no longer take a single step beyond the line of thunder.

Ouyang Xue’s face completely changed.

Her swordplay was different from before. Previously, she had not taken the current Demon Lord seriously, but now she was attacking with all her strength, yet she still could not break through the person’s protective aura.

However, she did not give up just because she saw this.

At that moment, a loud thunder suddenly came from the sky.

Jiang Ran looked up and saw an old man descending from the sky.

With one hand, he reached out, his five fingers spread open. It sounded like thunder, but in reality, it was like a mountain descending, crushing everything and making it difficult for everything to look up.

Jiang Ran looked down at the ground and saw that it shook with a loud noise, trembling endlessly.

It was as if the earth felt the impending catastrophe.

“Good palm technique,”

Jiang Ran gave a three-character evaluation and then extended a palm towards the sky.

A huge virtual image rose up from Jiang Ran’s body, and it was a Dharma image.

The Dharma image raised its palm and struck out, and the old man in the sky let out a sneer:

“A mere Dharma image, nothing more than a trivial technique!”

It was so fast that it seemed to happen in the blink of an eye, and in the twinkling of an eye, the old man’s five fingers had already come into contact with the Dharma image’s enormous palm.

The expected palm strike directly shattered the Dharma image, and in the end, Jiang Ran’s head was not forcibly pushed into his own mouth.

The old man felt as if he had lifted one mountain and smashed it into another.

The only problem was that his mountain seemed to be made of paper, while the mountain on the other side… was forged from adamant!

The force passed through his body before he could react.

The old man’s eyes widened in shock:

“This is impossible…”

The next moment, there was a loud explosion.

A bloody mist filled the sky.

This scene was truly shocking, because the old man’s flesh exploded, leaving only his bones. As the old man fell from the sky, even his bones shattered.

The reason for this was that the old man had actually been hit by two forces.

The first force was the power that Jiang Ran had given him.

It directly pierced his internal organs and meridians, and this palm strike had already taken his life.

The second force was the old man’s own power.

His strength could not be applied to Jiang Ran’s body, so naturally Jiang Ran sent it back.

However, the old man had already died, so the strength had to be applied to the flesh and blood.

As a result, his flesh and blood flew, leaving only a skeleton, but even the skeleton was a little more persistent than the flesh and blood. When it hit the ground, it turned into debris all over the floor.

This palm killed the person without leaving a trace, but it did not evoke fear in the hearts of those who came.

Jun Hezai has brought with him the best masters of his time.

Before they came, they naturally knew that Jiang Ran’s martial arts were peerless. Although no one said so, he was also implicitly the number one person in the world.

Naturally, it was not good to kill such a person.

However, they were ultimately outnumbered. Even if Jiang Ran was capable of killing one or two of them, he might not be able to kill them all.

Looking at the world, it was impossible, and no one should be able to survive under the joint siege of so many masters.

With such a belief, naturally casualties could be accepted.

Inside the arena, some people were running frantically to avoid the cold wind wrapped in the ice.

Others soared into the air, spreading their palms out, and a flying star scattered between their palms. As they sent out their palms at the same time, a silver rain filled the sky.

Still others were like fireplaces, evaporating the cold brought by Jiang Ran’s Silent World wherever they went, raising a day of white fog.

Many masters simultaneously performed their skills, which could be described as the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each showing their own magical powers.

Jiang Ran’s eyes flashed with starlight, and he saw one person stand out from the crowd and charge towards Jiang Ran, and heard a sound like wind breaking.

A white figure passed by Jiang Ran’s side.

A single hand met it, the palm spread out, and immediately a miserable howl of wind filled the sky, as if someone was wailing in the wind!

It was Tang Shiqing who had struck.

In fact, Tang Shiqing had already struck long ago.

The Nirvana of the Heart Demon Technique can transform the fear in a person’s heart into something that can be controlled with the palm of one’s hand.

This technique is activated silently, and the opponent will not even know that they have been caught.

However, this martial art is also a typical example of a master bullying someone.

If the opponent does not feel fear in their heart, they will naturally not be affected by this technique.

In the past, with this martial art, Tang Shicheng could make her opponents surrender and die in droves.

However, the people who came today were no pushovers.

The techniques of the Nirvana of the Heart Demon Method had no effect on them.

Seeing more and more opponents charging up, Tang Shiqing could not hold back after all and went forward to meet her foes.

It was not that she did not know other techniques, she just did not want to use them easily.

Those were all the pains that had been inflicted on her in the past, transformed into moves to gift the same effect to her opponents.

This technique was derived from the “First Sorrow of All Ages” and was a naturally derived martial art, named “Great Sorrow”.

When she performs it, there is a gloomy atmosphere, and the moves are accompanied by sobs, as if they were her past weaknesses.

She doesn’t want to easily show this side of her to others.

Especially not in front of Jiang Ran.

She knows that Jiang Ran will be heartbroken by her experiences, and when she performs this martial art, it’s as if she’s deliberately showing Jiang Ran all her past encounters.

This is something Tang Shiqing doesn’t want to do.

But at this moment, she couldn’t care less.

Her opponent, however, seemed to not fully understand Tang Shiqing’s martial arts. When he saw a beautiful girl like a fairy from heaven, all he felt was contempt in his heart:

“Get out of the way!”

As soon as he spoke, his palms met.

The next moment, he felt only a darkness before his eyes.

In a trance, everything around him disappeared, the ice beneath his feet, the trees in the distance, his companions around him, and Jiang Ran and the white-clad woman in front of him, who he had been staring at, all disappeared cleanly.

There was only one person whose face he could not see clearly, who was holding his palm firmly and sending it forward.

He looked along with the flow and saw that in front of him was a pot of boiling, scalding oil.

The oil pan was bubbling furiously.

The hideous heat made him subconsciously want to back away.

However, his hands were being held by someone else, and he couldn’t break free.

All his martial arts had disappeared, and there was no internal energy in his body. At this moment, he had become an ordinary person with no strength.

“What…ahhh!!!”

Before he could voice the confusion deep in his soul, his hands were already pressed into the hot oil pan:

“Just bear with it…it will heal.”

A voice sounded quite gently in his ear.

The intense pain spread from his heart, and he suddenly opened his eyes, unable to bear the pain.

However, he discovered that what he had lost had returned.

The ice beneath his feet, the companions around him, and Jiang Ran, the target he had been staring at, all appeared before him.

There was only one person…

“Where is that woman?”

As the question arose in his mind, he suddenly felt that the intense pain in his hands had not gone away.

He looked down suddenly and noticed that, at some point, his hands had turned completely red, and there were horrible blisters on them.

If he moved his hands even slightly, the pain would surge back.

Then he felt a sharp pain in his scalp.

He caught a glimpse of a white sleeve… His heart sank.

Sure enough, the next moment, he once again lost everything.

The frying pan in front of him was gone, and he was now sitting in a chair.

He should stand up and run immediately.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t stand up.

It was as if some invisible force was holding him back, so that he could only sit here obediently and could no longer move an inch.

The person whose face could not be seen appeared once again, and in his hand was a nail.

Each nail was thick… There were about 20 to 30 of them.

I will be careful… Don’t worry, I can cure you,“

he said, his voice breaking with pain.

I’ll cure your ass!!!

What are you going to do with those nails?

As I wondered, a voice, not my own, spoke.

It was a little girl’s voice, full of fear but also of great confidence:

”Don’t worry, I can.”

The next moment, the person whose face could not be seen was already holding the nails, with the hammer clenched in his other hand. He aimed the nails at his own skull and brought the hammer down with all his strength.

There was a loud clang, and intense pain immediately spread through his mind.

“Ahhh!!!”

The man screamed out once again.

He knew that he had fallen into some kind of trap, but he had no idea what it was.

Since the appearance of the [First Ever Sorrow], even the person who created this technique has never truly perfected it.

Throughout the ages, only Tang Shiqing has perfected this martial art.

Naturally, no one knows what kind of magic this Sorrowful Gift contains.

This person thought that with this nail driven into his brain, he should come to his senses.

At that time, he would definitely run, as far away as possible!

What Jiang Ran, what world, what magic weapon… What does it have to do with me?

Why did I come here to make things difficult for Jiang Ran?

There is no grudge, so why?

However, even if his eyes jumped out of their sockets this time, he did not see the images he had lost.

Only the person with a blurred face once again picked up a steel nail…

A miserable scream sounded in this dark place.

This process was heartbreakingly slow.

However, to everyone else, Tang Shicheng had only used two moves.

The first move was to exchange a palm strike with the opponent.

No one knew how it was done, but the opponent suddenly let out a scream, and his hands turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and large blisters formed one after the other.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Shicheng’s body moved around to the back of this person.

When the person turned his head to look for it, he pressed it against his head.

Streaks of blood blossomed from the top of this person’s head.

In total, there were 32 explosions of blood, and all 32 exploded at once.

Everyone just thought that Tang Shicheng’s palm had shattered the man’s head, leaving 32 holes in it.

But they didn’t know… that these 32 holes had also appeared on Tang Shicheng’s head before.

The reason she was still alive was not because of anything else, but because she was Tang Shicheng.

She was the Tang Shicheng who was willing to endure a thousand cuts and beheadings to let her beloved live, even if it meant dying for it, and was willing to do so!

Her opponent did not die.

It was as if he had gone mad, collapsing to the ground, screaming so loudly that he forgot about everything else.

Meanwhile, more people arrived.

Tang Shicheng was about to go at them when she was stopped.

Tang Huayi whispered,

“Sister, let’s join forces, we can’t let you have all the glory.”

The sound of swords clashing broke the silence, and two figures fell to their sides.

They were Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingsue.

Then came the princess…followed by Tian Miaomiao, Qingyuandaozi, Xu Mu, and so on and so on…

Even Mo Qing, Xiang Tingfei, and Hua Jieyu stood on the sidelines.

Aunt Rou and Yu Manman stood to the left and right of Jiang Ran, wary of any sneak attacks from their opponents.
