Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 6317: Nine Prison Pagoda

Regarding the powerful infant from the Demon Sect, it directly revealed its true form. Countless black gases erupted from its body, seemingly on the verge of tearing its entire form apart.

”This person can actually remain unaffected!” The Immortal Jiuchen was astonished deep down, and his gaze also turned toward Xiang Yang.

Because only this person was beyond his expectations.

As for Jian Wushuang, there was no need to say more-if he couldnʼt withstand even this little bit of light, he wouldnʼt be worth risking everything for. The Guardian Tong Shan, on the other hand, was protected by a treasure bestowed by Zhanxian Tower. Since he followed the righteous path, the treasure matched well with his abilities, so he wouldnʼt be intimidated. But Xiang Yang, just an ordinary Golden Core stage cultivator-how was he managing this? Bang!!!

Jiuchen immediately made a move, attempting to stop Xiang Yang, who was dragging Jiang Shang away.

A beam of golden light pierced through the wooden pavilion, shooting straight toward Xiang Yang.

Jian Wushuang had already spread his Thought power across the area, so how could he stand by and watch the opponent take action? In a flash, he blocked the golden light, and with a single grip of his hand, a force of nothingness emerged. The nothingness burned and transformed into power, directly dispersing the golden light.

The entire inn was instantly shattered, and the terrifying destructive force caused several Golden Core cultivators who were already severely injured to fall unconscious.

”Run!”

This time, Jian Wushuang didnʼt use his voice transmission technique; he shouted directly.

He finally understood the situation-his opponent probably intended to kill everyone to silence them.

There was no consideration for anyone nearby.

Yang Xiao would die, the Zhanxian Guards would also die, and Chen Yuan wouldnʼt survive either.

Sensing the intense explosions, Tong Shan, who was protecting Chen Yuan, hesitated for a moment. Without concern for anyone else, he immediately fled with Chen Yuan.

His orders were to kill Yang Xiao and quickly bring Chen Yuan back to Taiʼan City. As for the matters in Mangshan County, he was not to intervene or investigate further.

Acting on orders was the principle of the Zhanxian Guards, leaving no room for personal emotions. Even with the sudden appearances of the Immortal Jiuchen and Jian Wushuang, he didnʼt bother to ask any questions-his only focus was on leaving.

Because in his view, Yang Xiaoʼs death was inevitable today.

The inn was instantly destroyed.

Even the Imperial Guards stationed in the distance were obliterated in an instant.

Yet, the golden light and the burning force of nothingness continued to clash.

Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth, and his entire Thought power surged once again. Gathering in the palm of his right hand, he once more condensed the consciousness of nothingness.

”Burn!”

Buzz!

The power of void that had ignited grew ten times stronger, forcing back the golden light that had been blasting out.

”Not bad, but still far from enough!”

Faced with the overwhelming golden light that could crush oneʼs spirit, the Immortal Jiu Chen conjured a nine-story pagoda in his hand.

”Absorb!”

The golden light, which had been reflected back by Jian Wushuang, was completely drawn into the nine-story pagoda.

”Take a good look, this is the Supreme Treasure, the Nine Prison Pagoda. Dying by the hand of a Supreme Treasure is an honor!” The Immortal Jiu Chenʼs white hair fluttered as the nine- story pagoda in his hand spun upwards, preparing to suppress Jian Wushuang.

The terrifying gravitational force made it impossible for Jian Wushuang to stand firm. The wooden debris around him was instantly sucked into the pagoda, along with the severely injured cultivators who had no time to escape, all of them being drawn into the Nine Prison Pagoda.

”A Supreme Treasure?”

Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth and let out a cold laugh, though blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

It was clear that he was struggling to resist and had already been injured.

”I underestimated him!” He felt a slight tremor in his heart, yet he also realized the

determination of the Tang Emperor.

He had indeed prepared to kill them all.

What puzzled Jian Wushuang the most was why a cultivator with such divine abilities would willingly work for the Tang Emperor.

There were likely many reasons behind this that he didnʼt know.

But now was not the time to think about it.

With his current strength alone, he was no match for the Immortal Jiu Chen. He had no choice but to burn his Thought power again.

Moreover, he had to burn all of his Thought power if he hoped to kill his opponent.

However, the Immortal Jiu Chen was no fool. He wouldnʼt just stand there and let himself be killed. Jian Wushuang had to find the right opportunity.

Crack!

The floor shattered, and his figure slowly rose.

”Iʼll take the risk!”

Jian Wushuang made up his mind, and his figure began to move closer to the Nine Prison Pagoda.

To kill his opponent with a single strike using his Thought power, he had to get closer. Fortunately, his opponent also wanted to suppress him with the Nine Prison Pagoda, giving Jian Wushuang the opportunity to approach and deliver a fatal blow.

But there was also a downside. If Jian Wushuangʼs Thought power burned out, with his current strength, without the support of Thought power, he would likely be instantly sucked into the Nine Prison Pagoda.

At that point, even if his opponent died, the instant power of the Nine Prison Pagoda would be enough to shatter Jian Wushuangʼs body.

He had entered this world with nothing more than a mortal body.

Even after becoming a cultivator in the Golden Core stage, his body hadnʼt undergone any significant transformation. Without the protection of power, even a mortal body could be shattered by ordinary weapons, let alone the crushing force of the Nine Prison Pagoda.

But at this moment, he had no better choice.

Escape?

If he fled now, it could be many years before he had another opportunity like this.

Besides, escaping was not his style.

Even if his body was destroyed, as long as his soul remained, that would be enough.

The soul couldnʼt be altered. His Thought power was so strong, even because of his soul.

Even if this world had an underworld, it wouldnʼt be able to control his soul. Even if his soul couldnʼt return to his original body, he could still find another one in this world.

”Letʼs do this!”

After calculating everything, Jian Wushuang spat blood and clutched his chest, feigning an appearance of being unable to hold on any longer.

A sinister grin spread across the Immortal Jiu Chenʼs face, ”Haha, a powerful figure from the upper realm, you are about to fall. Everything you have will belong to me, including your soul. The fear and inheritance hidden within you will all be mine!”

”Nine Prison Demon Suppression!!!”

Buzz!

Jian Wushuang and the Nine Prison Pagoda rushed toward each other.

But just as he was about to be suppressed, everything around him seemed to freeze. Wooden

debris and shattered wine jars floated in the air, and amidst the chaos, a terrifying eye

flickered.

”Candle Dragonʼs Eye!”

Jian Wushuang roared as a red light burst from the center of his forehead. The massive eye instantly transformed into a Starry Sky.

Although he didnʼt have a Supreme Treasure on him, the Candle Dragonʼs Eye, part of the Beast Godʼs arsenal, was the first treasure he had obtained. He was well acquainted with it, and even without the treasure itself, he could still use its secret techniques. Relying on his burning Thought power, he awakened the power to control the Candle

Dragonʼs Eye. The beam of light that shot out was enough to obliterate an ordinary God Manifestation realm cultivator.

The Immortal Jiu Chen didnʼt even have time to react before the light in his eyes dimmed.

The three puppets below also fell silent.

The Immortal Jiu Chenʼs body, without a single wound, fell straight from the sky.

At that moment, everything around him resumed its movement.

The suppressive force of the Nine Prison Pagoda surged forth.

In just a moment, its power swallowed Jian Wushuang, along with the Immortal Jiu Chenʼs

corpse and the three puppets, all into the Nine Prison Pagoda.

As the power dissipated, the Nine Prison Pagoda fell heavily to the ground, its golden light fading, and darkness once again descended.
