"Ahhhh!"
"Don't kill me!"
"Your Majesty! Spare me, and I will tell you a secret that will bring immense benefits to the Jiang Dynasty!"
As Death Centipede was killed, Feng Mobai saw an opportunity to escape, but his body froze mid-flight.
The next moment, Jiang HuanYu appeared before him. Panicked, Feng Mobai screamed in desperation.
Jiang HuanYu, unfazed, replied coldly, "Why waste time with words?"
"Soul-searching is much simpler."
With that, Jiang HuanYu placed his hand on Feng Mobai's forehead.
A surge of terrifying power invaded Feng Mobai's body, tearing through his defenses and splitting his soul in two.
It felt as though a giant hand was excavating every secret buried within the depths of his mind. The agony was unbearable, and Feng Mobai's screams of despair echoed through the sky.
Moments later, Jiang HuanYu completed the process. His expression shifted slightly as he processed the information.
"Sun-Moon Treasure… Interesting," he murmured with a faint smirk.
Boom!
Without hesitation, Jiang HuanYu struck, obliterating Feng Mobai's body into a cloud of blood and gore. His spatial ring fell into Jiang HuanYu's grasp.
"No survivors! Leave none of the three factions alive!" Jiang HuanYu commanded with an unwavering tone.
"Yes!"
King Jiang, Marshal Tie Poyun, the God-Slaying Guards, and other Jiang forces chased down the remaining disciples. Within moments, the last remnants of the three factions were cornered and slaughtered.
The battlefield was completely cleared in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
With the battle concluded, Jiang HuanYu's reputation was destined to shake the entire Northern Domain.
In this single confrontation, he had personally killed five Heavenly experts. Such a feat was unheard of in the region's history.
The Jiang Dynasty's victory was absolute, and Jiang HuanYu had elevated his empire to new heights of prestige.
As the Jiang Dynasty's and Qian Family's forces began clearing the streets of bodies and rubble, Jiang HuanYu stood atop his flagship, arms crossed, surveying the ruined city below.
King Jiang, Marshal Tie Poyun, the Qian Family Patriarch, and Qian Jiuqiu flew to meet him.
"Your Majesty," Qian Jiuqiu said, his tone filled with deep respect.
"Thank you for leading your forces to assist us. We never imagined that Your Majesty's strength would be so overwhelming. It seems the world truly underestimated you."
Even the Qian Family Patriarch bowed humbly. After witnessing Jiang HuanYu's power firsthand, they dared not show any trace of arrogance.
Jiang HuanYu, now revealed as a Heavenly expert Fifth Heaven, was a force few could contend with. Only the most powerful leaders of the Northern Domain's dominant factions might be able to stand against him.
The Jiang Dynasty was now firmly established as the most powerful force beneath the dominant factions, rivaling even some of their might.
Even the master of the Blood Shadow Tower, Guan Zhiyun, would likely tread carefully around Jiang HuanYu.
Jiang HuanYu, his expression serious, addressed them. "Master Qian, there's no need for flattery. I only hope your family remembers the conditions we agreed upon."
"Hahaha! Rest assured, Your Majesty!" Qian Jiuqiu replied, smiling broadly.
"My daughter is ready to return to the palace with you at any time. From today onward, the Qian Family will be an unwavering ally of the Jiang Dynasty!"
For Qian Jiuqiu, this was an opportunity he couldn't have dreamed of.
Jiang HuanYu, at only twenty-something years old, had already reached the Heavenly Realm Fifth Heaven. His talent was unparalleled, and he had shattered every record in the Northern Domain's history.
This battle would solidify Jiang HuanYu's reputation. His name would soon reach the ears of every powerful force in the Northern Domain. Even the dominant factions would take note of his meteoric rise.
Jiang HuanYu's gaze remained sharp as he looked at the wreckage of Tianlin City.
"The battle here is over," he said. "But the enmity between us and Evil Moon Hall is far from resolved."
Turning to Qian Jiuqiu, he added, "Master Qian, weeds must be uprooted entirely. Otherwise, when the spring wind blows, they will grow again."
His words carried a chilling weight, leaving no doubt about his resolve.
