The System Arrives: Leading My Clan to Become the Strongest

141: Zhang Heifeng Bear King Dies“Rumble—!”

The golden longsword, wrapped in the Law power of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was like a sword beam cleaving space, carrying unparalleled might as it slashed directly at the Black Wind Bear King.

The Bear King’s pupils shrank abruptly. Facing Jiang Chen’s sword, it dared not show the slightest negligence. Its black fur stood on end, and the desolate beast power of the Void Refining Realm erupted without reservation.

A black demonic energy barrier, several zhang thick, instantly condensed in front of it. Violent Earth Laws intertwined on the barrier, attempting to withstand the sword strike head-on.

“Clang!”

The moment the golden and black colors collided, a deafening metallic clang pierced the sky, and terrifying energy shockwaves swept out from the center of their clash.

The wild grass at the edge of the Great Wilderness was uprooted, the ground cracked into ravines several zhang wide, and low-level desolate beasts attacking the Formation in the distance were hit by the aftermath, instantly turning into scattered blood mist, their screams rising one after another.

The Black Wind Bear King’s veins bulged on its arms as it desperately supported the demonic energy barrier. It could clearly feel the terrifying power emanating from the longsword. It was not just the spiritual power suppression of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but also three completely different yet perfectly fused Sword Intents—the Annihilation Power of the Nirvana Sword Art was eroding its demonic energy.

“Roar—”

The Black Wind Bear King roared, its voice filled with incredible shock and horror.

It had Cultivated for three thousand years just to enter Void Refining, and believed it had few rivals in the Great Wilderness. Yet, this Human Race Cultivator before it, whose Realm was clearly lower, made it feel the threat of death.

Jiang Chen’s eyes were cold, and the golden light around him grew increasingly brilliant. The Primordial Undying Record was circulating to its maximum, and the spiritual power in his body continuously surged into the longsword like a rushing river.

“The Realm has never been the sole criterion for Battle Power.”

As his voice fell, he sharply twisted his wrist. The Sword Intent on the longsword increased by another third, and the Annihilation Power supporting One Sword Comes From The West instantly pierced through the weak point of the demonic energy barrier.

The Black Wind Bear King grunted, its thick arm sliced open by the Sword Qi. Blood sprayed out; the pitch-black blood landed on the ground and actually corroded small holes into the rocks.

It knew well that continuing this way meant certain defeat. It exerted force to push the longsword away and turned to flee towards the Deep part of the Great Wilderness.

“Trying to run?”

Jiang Chen coldly snorted, activated the Nine Heavens Cloud Treading Steps, and chased after the beast like a phantom. His speed instantly surpassed the limit of the Spirit Transformation Realm, blocking the Black Wind Bear King’s path.

“Since you dared to offend my Qingyun Mountain, stay here today!”

With one sword strike, the Annihilation Power froze the flow of the Bear King’s demonic energy, the sharpness of One Sword Comes From The West tore through its defense, and it was further enhanced by the Heaven-Splitting Sword Canon.

The Black Wind Bear King roared and swung its massive paw, attempting to break through the sword attack.

But Jiang Chen would not give it any breathing room. The longsword moved like a shadow, pointing straight at the vital spot between its brows.

This sword strike concentrated all his Battle Power. It was his strongest attack since entering the Spirit Transformation Realm, and a final test of his current Battle Power.

“Roar—!”

Despair filled the Black Wind Bear King’s eyes. It used the last shred of its desolate beast power, retracting its head into its broad chest, trying to use its hard bones to resist the fatal sword strike.

But Jiang Chen’s longsword was incredibly sharp, enhanced by the three types of Sword Intent it contained. The longsword sliced through the Bear King’s defense like a hot knife through butter, accurately stabbing into the center of its brows.

“Pfft!”

As the longsword entered the body, the Annihilation Power instantly erupted, destroying the Black Wind Bear King’s Divine Soul. Meanwhile, the spiritual power of The Primordial Undying Record frantically plundered the Void Refining demonic energy and Law fragments within its body.

The Black Wind Bear King’s massive body froze where it stood, the fierce light in its eyes rapidly dimming. Then, it crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Before dying, it still couldn’t believe that it would perish at the hands of a Human Race Cultivator who had just entered Soul Transformation.

Jiang Chen pulled out the longsword. The Bear King’s blood dripped down the blade, emitting a pungent, bloody smell.

Feeling the surging power within him, as well as the Law fragments plundered from the Bear King, the corner of his mouth curved into an arc.

After stepping into the Spirit Transformation Realm, and utilizing The Primordial Undying Record and the Fusion of the three Martial Skills, his Battle Power truly far surpassed those of the same rank. Even when facing a Void Refining desolate beast, he could achieve a single-sword kill.

“Roar!”

In the sky not far away, desolate beast overlords like the Green-Eyed Poison Python and the Mountain-Splitting Rhinoceros King witnessed the entire process of the Black Wind Bear King’s death, their eyes filled with shock and rage.

The Black Wind Bear King was the strongest Void Refining expert among them, yet it was easily slain by Jiang Chen. This made them realize that the Battle Power of this Human Race Cultivator had exceeded their imagination.

“Hiss—!”

The Green-Eyed Poison Python hissed sinisterly, flicking its forked tongue, murderous intent boiling in its eyes.

It knew Jiang Chen’s terror well. If they didn’t kill him today, the desolate beasts of the Great Wilderness would inevitably face utter destruction in the future.

As its voice fell, the Green-Eyed Poison Python was the first to attack, spitting out a dark green beam of demonic energy containing potent poison. Wherever the beam passed, the air was corroded with sizzling sounds.

The Mountain-Splitting Rhinoceros King roared in anger, its body expanding several times its size. The single horn on its head flashed with earthy yellow light, carrying unmatched immense force as it charged toward Jiang Chen.

The Golden-Winged Roc King spread its wings, moving as fast as lightning, its sharp claws gleaming with cold light as it launched a sneak attack from the side.

The three Spirit Transformation Realm desolate beast overlords joined forces, creating astonishing might. The terrifying fluctuations caused the entire Qingyun Mountain to tremble slightly, and the runes on the Formation light barrier flashed more violently. Many Cultivators turned pale, their hearts filled with worry.

Jiang Chen, however, showed no fear. Instead, the Battle Intent in his eyes grew stronger.

Killing the Black Wind Bear King gave him a clear understanding of his own Battle Power. Now, facing three Spirit Transformation Realm desolate beasts, it was the perfect opportunity to further test his strength.

“Good timing!”

Jiang Chen shouted loudly. The Primordial Undying Record circulated to its maximum, golden light protecting his body, and the longsword in his hand executed several sword flourishes.

Facing the Green-Eyed Poison Python’s poisonous beam, he cleaved out with a sword. The Annihilation Sword Intent instantly froze the beam, and then the sharpness of One Sword Comes From The West split it in half.

Immediately afterward, he sidestepped the Mountain-Splitting Rhinoceros King’s charge. The Nine Heavens Cloud Treading Steps made his figure as light as willow catkins, allowing him to circle behind the Rhino King, where the longsword thrust out, piercing its vulnerable back neck.

“Awoo!”

The Mountain-Splitting Rhinoceros King let out a painful howl, its massive body losing balance and crashing heavily to the ground.

Jiang Chen twisted his wrist, the longsword churned, completely destroying its Divine Soul.

Having dealt with the Mountain-Splitting Rhinoceros King, the Golden-Winged Roc King’s sharp claws were already close at hand.

Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed. Without dodging, he backhanded his longsword in an upward sweep, and a golden Sword Qi roared out, striking precisely onto the Golden-Winged Roc King’s sharp claws.

With a crisp “clang,” a deep wound was carved into the Golden-Winged Roc King’s sharp claws by the Sword Qi, sending blood splattering.

The Golden-Winged Roc King cried out in pain, flapped its wings, and retreated backward.

It hadn’t expected Jiang Chen’s reaction to be so fast and his attack power so strong, and the thought of retreating arose in its mind.

“Trying to escape?”

How could Jiang Chen allow it to leave? His figure flashed, instantly pursuing it.

The Nine Heavens Cloud Treading Steps made his speed not inferior to the Golden-Winged Roc King, and perhaps even three parts faster.

The longsword in his hand continuously cleaved out, and streaks of golden Sword Qi rained down, forcing the Golden-Winged Roc King to dodge repeatedly, giving it no power to fight back whatsoever.
