Chapter 3752: None Spared
Chapter 3752: None Spared
The leader of the Tiger Roar clan and the great elders were startled. Earlier, when Jian Chen struck, they all felt a suffocating feeling. Before the terrifying strand of sword Qi, all of them felt the threat of death.
None of them would have had any chance at surviving if it were any one of them instead.
Jian Chen gripped the Immortal Monarch’s soul and said coldly, “You’re right. This is indeed a world where the strong prey on the weak. I am stronger than you right now, so you are no different in my hands from those women.”
“Senior, s-s-spare me!” The soul trapped in Jian Chen’s hand pleaded fearfully.
“Did you ever spare the women that died over the years? If you gave them a quick death, then so be it, but you just had to torture them like this. They died only after going through all this abuse.”
“They were all innocent.”
Jian Chen’s voice grew colder as the killing intent in his eyes shone brighter.
In the next moment, the Immortal Monarch’s soul in his hand vanished. He had already sent it into the Primeval Divine Hall, handing him over to the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
If it were regular enemies, Jian Chen would kill them decisively and give them a quick death.
However, he had no plans on letting the people of the Tiger Roar clan experience a satisfying death.
In the surroundings, all of the clansmen that witnessed this became frightened.
In the Tiger Roar clan, the great elders were the source of stability, yet they had just witnessed a great elder as powerful as that being easily slain like an ant. That had an extremely drastic impact on them.
Jian Chen looked at the Immortal Monarchs in the distance. Wherever his gaze passed by, everyone experienced chills.
At this moment, the god-like great elders in the Tiger Roar clan all trembled under Jian Chen’s gaze.
“Senior, please save us!”
“My mother and I were both abducted by the Tiger Roar clan. My mother has already perished after being drained of her life essence by these scoundrels of the Tiger Roar clan.”
“The Tiger Roar clan killed all the men in my village and captured all of the female cultivators, turning them into human cauldrons. The Tiger Roar clan has committed all sorts of heinous deeds. Please destroy them, senior. Please annihilate them.”
“Please help us achieve justice, senior.”
At this moment, the imprisoned women seemed to understand the current situation. They all ran out and kneeled down, lowering their heads towards Jian Chen, pleading for his assistance.
However, there were also an extremely small number of these women who chose to commit suicide without any hesitation with a face of sorrow, fury, and shame as soon as they recovered their freedom.
There were also some women who hugged the nearby descendants of the Tiger Roar clan with a shrill scream before exploding with a boom, killing themselves in mutual destruction.
Sorrow welled up within Jian Chen. He had the ability to stop these women from ending themselves, but he did not do that.
If they were unable to come to terms with what had happened, living was simply suffering. It would only be worse than death to some of the weaker-willed women.
Death was instead a form of liberation to them.
“Don’t worry, I will avenge you. From today onwards, the Tiger Roar clan will no longer stand here,” Jian Chen murmured. The Tiger Roar clan’s actions were completely devoid of any conscience, harming the innocent. If he did not possess enough strength, then so be it.
But since he had the ability, he obviously had to enforce justice.
He had to destroy the Tiger Roar clan and rescue these women!
“Master, t-they’re so pitiful.” Jing Mumu remained hiding behind Jian Chen, sticking out her head carefully. She looked at the women in sympathy, feeling a hint of fortune.
She felt fortunate that she had encountered her master, allowing her to avoid the Tiger Roar clan. Otherwise, even she did not know if she would become one of these women here.
Jian Chen struck. He wielded his finger like a sword, pointing into the distance. Resplendent sword Qi immediately tore through the air, slashing towards the head of one of the great elders with the pressure and laws of an Immortal Emperor.
The great elder of the Tiger Roar clan was an Eighth Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, yet he did not stand a chance at all, killed by Jian Chen like an ant.
“The ancestor of our Tiger Roar clan will return very soon. Y-you better not go too far.” The remaining great elders became soaked with cold sweat as they put on a bravado and tried to threaten him.
“Thirty thousand metres underground, there is a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor in secluded cultivation. That should be the ancestor of your Tiger Roar clan, right?” Jian Chen glanced in a certain direction and sneered. “However, he is currently at a critical phase of his breakthrough. He probably won’t be able to help you any time soon. And, let alone the fact that he’s a measly Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Emperor, he won’t be able to change the fate of your Tiger Roar clan even if he reaches the Sixth Heavenly Layer.”
Jian Chen’s words immediately made the experts of the Tiger Roar clan pale. Previously, they knew that Jian Chen was an Immortal Emperor, but they did not know how powerful he was, so they placed all their hopes on the ancestor.
Yet now, even the precise situation of their ancestor and his cultivation had been seen through by the enemy. There were basically no secrets before him at all. All of them knew what that meant.
When Jian Chen stated the exact cultivation of their ancestor, all of the great elders scattered with virtually no hesitation, fleeing into the surroundings as quickly as they could.
Faced with such a powerful Immortal Emperor, even if their Tiger Roar clan had some trump cards, they would be useless.
With a thought, Jian Chen controlled the Laws of Space and created an invisible spatial barrier, enveloping the entire Tiger Roar clan.
The great elders of the Tiger Roar clan moved very quickly, but they could not be faster than Jian Chen. With a series of bangs, they all ran into the spatial barrier before rebounding from the great force.
“None of you will be leaving today,” Jian Chen said emotionlessly. He struck once again. Powerful sword Qi cut through the air. He steadily killed the Immortal Monarchs of the Tiger Roar clan.
Each strand of sword Qi unleashed would guarantee the corpse of a great elder. However, these people did not perish. Instead, Jian Chen intentionally preserved their souls, planning to hand them over to the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
In a short moment, only three of the thirteen great elders of the Tiger Roar clan remained.
The deaths of the great elders one by one had thrown the Tiger Roar clan into chaos already. The descendants all fled outwards in fright, but they were all stopped by the invisible spatial barrier.
“Spare me, senior! I’m willing to serve you like a dog!”
“Senior, I am willing to accept you as my master and serve your every need. Please show mercy.”
The three remaining great elders had already been frightened out of their wits. They lowered their heads to Jian Chen fearfully as they pleaded for their lives, unable to muster any courage to oppose him.
Looking at the three kneeling great elders, clan leader Xi Ganglie was infuriated. He immediately scolded them. “You bunch of trash. As great elders of our Tiger Roar clan, how can you fear death so much? This person has killed so many members of our Tiger Roar clan. How can you pledge your allegiance to him just to drag out an ignoble existence?”
Shortly afterwards, Xi Ganglie looked at Jian Chen. His eyes were filled with determination. Since he knew he was already done for, he set aside his fears and discarded the dread of death.
“I know I’m not your opponent, but you better step over my corpse first if you want to destroy our Tiger Roar clan.” As he said that, invisible flames rose up around Xi Ganglie. His presence rapidly soared, surpassing the limits of his current cultivation very soon. Suddenly, he charged towards Jian Chen with a low quality god artifact.
He was igniting the foundations of his life in exchange for greater powers, but it was still impossible for him to threaten an Immortal Emperor as a First Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch.
Jian Chen only flicked his finger casually. A tiny strand of sword Qi shot out and immediately severed Xi Ganglie’s head. Even the low quality god artifact in his hand seemed like paper before Jian Chen’s sword Qi. It could not be more fragile.
Jian Chen had also destroyed the clan leader’s physical body and trapped his soul.
After him, the three remaining great elders who pleaded for their lives were unable to escape the same fate. Their bodies were destroyed, and their seized souls were sent into the Primeval Divine Hall, about to experience a life worse than death with the Thousand Soul Demon Exalt.
With that, the Tiger Roar clan that essentially dominated Falling Cloud City had lost all of their Immortal Monarch great elders to Jian Chen.
Jing Mumu and Jing Feng’s hearts swayed as they watched this unfold. They felt like they were dreaming, unable to return to their senses.
Meanwhile, Jian Chen behaved like he had just done something insignificant. He looked at the liberated women in the surroundings and said, “From now onwards, the Tiger Roar clan can no longer harm you. You have all recovered your freedom.”
Jian Chen paused, but before the women could say anything, he added, “I know you hold a great grudge towards the Tiger Roar clan. I’ll give you the opportunity for revenge right now. Pick up your weapons, whether they’re rocks, branches, or grass. I will bestow them with power. You will easily be able to kill the people who once harmed you.”
When they heard that, many of the women hesitated as they picked up a branch from the ground. All of their immortal artifacts had been taken by the Tiger Roar clan. They did not have any proper weapons.
“Can I really kill these animals with this branch alone?” a woman looked at the fragile branch in her hand with a dim gaze and murmured to herself.
But in the next moment, the branch in her hand erupted with powerful sword Qi. The regular branch was immediately bestowed with power that could easily kill Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals.
Jian Chen had altered the structure of the branch with his ultimate will. As long as it was within the vicinity of his ultimate will, anything could be turned into swords!
“Go. Take your sword and get revenge,” Jian Chen said to the woman.
The woman’s dull eyes immediately became bloodshot. She looked at the despairing descendants of the Tiger Roar clan viciously and let out a furious roar, rushing over with the branch that radiated with powerful sword intent. She easily beheaded one of the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortals.
From beginning to end, the Nine-heavenly Xuan Immortal did not try to resist or dodge at all. He was frozen by a spatial force.
