Heaven-Surpassing Divine Emperor

Xie Zesen was completely dumbfounded.

He lay on the ground, his body covered in at least a hundred gruesome, bone-deep wounds, bleeding profusely.

Watching the two hundred experts from Nine Sins Hall turn into chunks of flesh at Jiang Chen’s hands sent an icy chill through him, a coldness that seemed to rise slowly from the base of his spine.

Jiang Chen’s gaze fell upon Xie Zesen. He smiled and said, ”Senior Sister Bai Ling, Senior Brother White Tiger, I’ve specially left this guy for the two of you to deal with!”

Bai Ling froze for a moment before snapping back to her senses.

Her eyes darted, and she instantly understood Jiang Chen’s intentions...

White Tiger had previously been defeated by Xie Zesen, and what’s more, he had been brutally tormented and abused. This had left an indelible shadow in White Tiger’s heart, which would become an obstacle on his Martial Dao path.

But if White Tiger killed Xie Zesen with his own hands, it would be equivalent to shattering this Heart Demon.

In the future, his Martial Dao would no longer be obstructed!

Bai Ling looked at Jiang Chen with gratitude. ”Junior Brother Jiang Chen, thank you!”

”Hey, we’re all from the Heaven-Soaring Alliance. There’s no need to thank me!” Jiang Chen said with a dismissive wave and a smile.

White Tiger wasn’t a fool either.

He also figured it out and silently committed this debt of gratitude to memory as he dragged his heavily injured body toward Xie Zesen.

Xie Zesen trembled, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at White Tiger. He pleaded pitifully, ”Brother White Tiger, spare me this once, I’m begging you, don’t kill me...”

”Hahaha, so now you know how to beg for mercy? Where was this attitude just now? You wanted my sister to ’service’ you? Today, let me ’service’ you first...” White Tiger sneered, stomping his foot down on Xie Zesen’s groin. With a sickening CRACK, the sound of his testicles shattering was exceptionally loud.

Xie Zesen’s whole body convulsed, then went completely rigid.

His face was deathly pale, and he foamed at the mouth.

White Tiger’s expression was blank. He swung his one good arm, smashing it into Xie Zesen’s body again and again.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Each punch pulverized Xie Zesen’s flesh and shattered his bones.

After several hundred punches,

Only then did White Tiger sullenly stop. Xie Zesen had already been reduced to a pile of bloody pulp. White Tiger looked at Jiang Chen with gratitude. ”Thanks!”

”You’re Senior Sister Bai Ling’s brother, which makes you my, Jiang Chen’s, friend. No need to be so formal!”

Jiang Chen waved his hand with a smile, then asked, ”By the way, which state is this? Are there any powerful experts here?”

White Tiger immediately explained, ”This is the Ninth State. It’s controlled by Yinn Tianzong, the Young Venerable of the Nine Sins Hall...”

As White Tiger explained, Jiang Chen gained a basic understanding of the Ninth State.

He knitted his sharp brows slightly, a cold glint flickering in his eyes. He said flatly, ”The Nine Sins Hall again... Yinn Tianzong, ninth on the Venerable List, right? I remember he has 930 million points. If I can steal his points, even if I only get half, I can reach around 1.3 billion points.”

The experts on the Venerable List were all frantically plundering points.

While Jiang Chen was using the Great Void Transmission Talisman, Lan Haichen had already broken through two billion points.

’To catch up to Lan Haichen, my only path is to rob points from everyone everywhere!’

At this thought, a playful smile appeared on Jiang Chen’s face. ”Then let’s start with the Nine Sins Hall!”

Immediately after, Jiang Chen went over to the corpses of the two hundred Nine Sins Hall experts and retrieved more than two hundred Storage Rings. After sorting through the treasures inside, he found a few ingredients for refining the Third-Revolution Tyrant Essence Pill, a few materials that could help the Spirit-Slaying Sword break through to the Celestial-tier Profound Weapon level, and about two hundred Celestial Fate Orders. He gave all the other treasures and Spirit Crystals to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling stared at the two hundred Storage Rings in her hand, finding it hard to believe. ”Jiang Chen, why are you giving these to me?”

”Senior Sister Bai Ling, you are now one of the four great elders of our Heaven-Soaring Alliance. If your strength isn’t great enough, how will you help me fight the Celestial Alliance in the future? All the treasures in here are for you. How you use them is up to you.”

After a pause, Jiang Chen took out Xie Zesen’s Storage Ring. Inside was a Celestial-Tier Low-Level Martial Skill manual, the *Tornado Demon Blade*. He tossed the Secret Manual to White Tiger. ”Senior Brother White Tiger, I see you also use Saber Techniques. This Martial Skill scroll should be able to increase your strength by quite a bit.”

”Jiang Chen, this is a Celestial-Tier Martial Skill! You’re just giving it to me like that?” White Tiger was utterly baffled.

Jiang Chen shrugged, his expression nonchalant. ”I don’t use a saber. It’s a perfect fit for you!”

White Tiger: ”...”

’Even if he doesn’t use a saber, he could take it back to the Sect and exchange it for a lot of benefits!’

White Tiger’s heart stirred. He realized Jiang Chen was likely trying to recruit him into the Heaven-Soaring Alliance.

Before this, White Tiger would have absolutely refused to join the Heaven-Soaring Alliance to fight against the Celestial Alliance. After all, Lan Haichen was simply too powerful, so much so that no one would even think of competing with him. But now, he knew that Jiang Chen’s cultivation had advanced to the Heavenly Destiny Realm Sixth Stage. And how long had the Celestial Fate Hunting even been going on?

He had already broken through three minor realms!

Who could guarantee that he wouldn’t catch up to Lan Haichen in a few more months?

White Tiger took a deep breath, clutching the *Tornado Demon Blade* Secret Manual, and said in a deep voice, ”Jiang Chen, is your Heaven-Soaring Alliance looking for people?”

”We are!”

Jiang Chen was delighted and quickly asked, ”Is Senior Brother White Tiger willing to join my Heaven-Soaring Alliance?”

”I’ll join!”

White Tiger said with a nod.

”Hahaha, that’s great! With Senior Brother White Tiger’s help, my Heaven-Soaring Alliance will be like a tiger that has grown wings!” Jiang Chen said happily.

He had given the *Tornado Demon Blade* to White Tiger with the clear intention of recruiting him. Fortunately, White Tiger was perceptive and didn’t let his good intentions go to waste.

Then, Jiang Chen helped Bai Ling and White Tiger heal. Both of their injuries were extremely severe, and it took a full two days for them to make a complete recovery.

「During this time.」

By plundering the points from those two hundred-plus Celestial Fate Orders, Jiang Chen’s total points also rose to the one-billion level, surpassing Yinn Tianzong and making him the ninth-ranked expert on the Venerable List.

On the plains, Jiang Chen looked at White Tiger and Bai Ling and said in a grave voice, ”Senior Brother White Tiger, Senior Sister Bai Ling, I came from the Sixteenth State. I’m different from you—I can plunder the points from other people’s Celestial Fate Orders. From now on, I want you to help me find all the experts willing to join us. Then, we’ll start our counterattack. I want to wipe the Nine Sins Hall off the map of the Ninth State before Celestial Fate Island opens!”

Hearing this, Bai Ling and White Tiger looked at each other, feeling the blood surge hotly in their veins.

Wipe the Nine Sins Hall from the Ninth State!

Before this, who among them would have dared to even imagine it? But now, with Jiang Chen’s arrival, it all seemed possible!

White Tiger said, ”No problem. I’ll go and contact the others right away. There are many experts in the Ninth State who have been oppressed by the Nine Sins Hall. We can definitely win a lot of them over to our side!”

”Good. I’ll leave it to you then!” Jiang Chen nodded, his eyes half-closed as he grinned. ”Let’s meet up in Haifeng City in two months. Before that, we’ll act separately. I need to hurry up and plunder more points. This is my Communication Token. If you run into any trouble you can’t solve, feel free to send me a message. I’ll get there as fast as I can!”

The three of them exchanged Communication Tokens.

Jiang Chen immediately shot into the sky. The male half of the infamous Female and Male Thieves who once struck terror into the hearts of everyone in the Sixteenth State was about to sweep across the vast lands of the Ninth State once more...
