Terran Guardian - Chapter 4071

Chapter 4046: Slaying a Nine-Tribulation Half-Saint

“Boom—”

Shen Changqing deflected the spear with his mace, shattering Jiang Tianchen’s hand bones. He then swung his mace again, shattering the protective immortal light around Jiang Tianchen like a mirror. The remaining force of the blow struck Jiang Tianchen directly.

This furious attack instantly broke Jiang Tianchen’s bones and sent him flying like a meteor, coughing up blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. He was severely injured.

“Die!”

Shen Changqing stepped into the void, his Nine-Star Mace crashing down, determined to kill Jiang Tianchen on the spot.

But at that moment,

the Great Sage Zhucang finally couldn’t hold back and attacked, his face filled with rage, his majestic heavenly might pressing down.

“Junior, you’ve injured a general of my Great Wilderness Immortal Court! You’re courting death!”

But the next instant

, a gentle force swept by like a breeze, and the overwhelming pressure of a Great Sage vanished instantly.

The sudden turn of events caused the Great Sage Zhucang’s expression to change.

But in that brief moment of delay, Shen Changqing struck Jiang Tianchen’s head with his mace, instantly exploding the skull. The remaining force of the blow penetrated Jiang’s body, shattering this Nine Tribulation Half-Saint of the Great Wilderness Immortal Court into pieces. At the

instant his physical body was destroyed

, a divine soul emerged from the blood mist—it was Jiang Tianchen himself.

Unfortunately,

Shen Changqing was prepared. He swung his Nine-Star Mace again, and before Jiang Tianchen’s horrified and desperate gaze, his divine soul was completely annihilated on the spot.

Thus ,

a Nine Tribulation Half-Saint had fallen.

This all happened in an instant; from Jiang Tianchen’s severe injury to his demise, only a few breaths had passed.

No cultivator had expected Jiang Tianchen to be defeated so quickly, and even more so, to fall directly at Shen Changqing’s hands.

This scene

enraged the Great Sage Zhucang.

Before he could make another move, a white-robed Taoist slowly appeared in the void. He stood with his hands behind his back, making no unnecessary movements, yet a chill ran through the heart of the Great Sage Zhucang. The anger on his face vanished, replaced by fear.

He didn’t know the origin of the white-robed Taoist, but his sixth sense told him that this being was far beyond his ability to contend with.

If he were to actually attack, he would surely die!

“A dignified Great Sage, yet you attack a newly promoted Half-Sage, it’s truly a loss of face,”

Jiang Daoxuan said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the Great Sage Zhucang.

These calm words, however, contained boundless divine might in the Great Sage Zhucang’s ears, causing his mind to tremble violently. A strong sense of rejection surged from all directions.

In that instant,

he felt as if he had been abandoned by heaven and earth.

Before this opponent, he was not an ancient Great Sage, but a mere mortal ant without any cultivation.

“Dao… Dao Venerable!!!”

The Great Sage Zhu Cang’s voice trembled as he uttered a few words with difficulty, but these words, when they reached the ears of the other cultivators, were like a thunderclap.

Dao Venerable!

The person before them was actually an unparalleled Dao Venerable!!

All the cultivators looked at Jiang Daoxuan with horror.

They had no doubt about the Great Sage Zhu Cang’s words.

How could such a being be false?

On the other side.

On the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s side, the Great Sage Chen Yuan, who had previously seemed confident of victory, now had a completely gloomy expression. When he looked at the figure in the void, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Jiang Daoxuan!

This ancestor of the Jiang family had actually come to the Divine Heaven Domain in person!

This was something the Great Sage Chen Yuan had not expected.

After all, the emergence of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace was not a big deal. The fact that a Great Sage had come forward to protect the Dao was already a sign of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace’s importance.

At present, there were only a handful of Great Sages in the Divine Heaven Domain, and they all came from various supreme forces.

As for those above the Great Sage level, there were none.

Ultimately,

the emergence of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace was a contest for opportunity among the younger generation; other top experts wouldn’t personally come here.

Before this, Great Sage Chenyuan would never have imagined that Jiang Daoxuan, with his status, would actually be here.

But

Jiang Daoxuan actually came.

Facing this ancestor of the Jiang family, Great Sage Chenyuan couldn’t muster any thought of resistance.

As for Luo Xinghe, his face was deathly pale.

The Supreme Sword Venerable Jiang Daoxuan!

This was the one who personally attacked and severely injured Daoist Taisu back then; this news had already spread throughout the Eastern Immortal Realm, how could Luo Xinghe not know?

Now that this person was here in person, he understood that killing Shen Changqing in this battle was probably impossible.

The remaining cultivators from the six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands also looked grim.

A strange Dao Venerable had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

This was something they hadn’t anticipated.

Just then…

On the side of the Divine Sun Immortal Court, the Great Sage of Nanhua stepped forward with a stiff upper lip and

politely cupped his hands to Jiang Daoxuan. “I did not know you were here in person. This junior, Nanhua of the Divine Sun Immortal Court, has not yet asked for your name!”

“I am Jiang Daoxuan!”

Jiang Daoxuan glanced at him and said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators were once again shocked.

Jiang Daoxuan!

The patriarch of the Jidu Jiang family!!

No cultivator who had lived long enough would be unfamiliar with this name.

Any Dao Venerable was enough to be called famous throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, having left a profound mark on a certain era.

After all, a strong person who could reach this level could not be an unknown figure.

Moreover,

the Jidu Jiang family had caused quite a stir at the Crimson Jade Dao Palace this time, and now that the other cultivators had come out of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, the strong people from various forces had naturally heard about it.

Similarly, they also vaguely knew that Shen Changqing’s relationship with the Jiang family was extraordinary.

The Great Sage of Nanhua took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, “So it is the Supreme Sword Master Taixuan in person. This junior pays his respects!”

Faced with the Great Sage of Nanhua’s respect, Jiang Daoxuan remained indifferent and made no response.

Seeing this…

The Great Sage of Nanhua tentatively said, “Shen Changqing has a deep-seated grudge against us, the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands. Tens of millions of years ago, during the battle of the Divine Sun Domain, many powerful figures from various forces perished at his hands.

Now, we, from all sides, are here to settle accounts with this brat.

We hope Senior Jiang can give us, the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands, some face. We will certainly repay you handsomely afterward!”

Facing Jiang Daoxuan, the Great Sage of Nanhua had no choice but to invoke

the names of the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands. After all, the Divine Sun Immortal Court alone might not be enough to make the other side wary.

Moreover,

such a matter that could potentially offend the Dao Venerable could not be left for the Divine Sun Immortal Court to bear alone.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the other Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands changed their expressions slightly, but none of them uttered a rebuttal, allowing the Great Sage of Nanhua to invoke their names.

“Face?”

Jiang Daoxuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze towards the Great Sage of Nanhua filled with indifference.

“A mere Great Sage dares to speak of face before me?

If you wish to speak of face, then send your Divine Sun Immortal Court’s Heavenly Emperor. You alone are not qualified!”

“Senior—”

The Great Sage of Nanhua’s face darkened, and he was about to speak when Jiang Daoxuan flicked his sleeve, unleashing terrifying immortal power that swept through the heavens and earth like a chaotic universe collapsing down.

The terrifying power caused the Great Sage of Nanhua’s expression to change drastically.

Without hesitation, he attacked to defend himself.

But the next instant…

“Boom!”

The Great Sage of Nanhua was instantly sent flying, his body crashing through millions of miles of void before he could barely regain his footing.

The other cultivators glanced over and gasped in shock.

The Great Sage of Nanhua’s body was shattered, his Daoist robes stained with blood, he looked like a blood-soaked figure, and his aura was weak and chaotic, clearly suffering severe injuries.

“…”

This scene silenced all the remaining cultivators.

One strike!

Just a casual strike!

Even a powerful figure like the Great Sage of Nanhua was severely injured.

Such strength was simply terrifying.

Many powerful individuals had long heard of the Dao Venerable’s reputation, but none had truly witnessed the power of a Dao Venerable.

Only now, after Jiang Daoxuan’s slight action, did they truly understand what a Dao Venerable was.

Even ancient Great Sages were nothing more than ants that could be wiped out with a wave of their hand before such an existence.

At most ,

they could only be considered slightly stronger ants.

On the other side,

the Great Sage of Nanhua was also filled with fear, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Jiang Daoxuan.

As a cultivator who had directly faced Jiang Daoxuan’s attack, he deeply understood just how vast the gap between them was.

To put it bluntly, if Jiang Daoxuan wanted to kill him, it would be an extremely easy matter.

The Great Sage of Nanhua knew that the gap between him and a Dao Venerable was vast, but he never imagined that the gap between them could be this great.

His own Great Sage realm cultivation, which he was so proud of, was as fragile as a candle in the wind before such an existence.

It was only because Jiang Daoxuan had no killing intent that he was killed; otherwise, he would have perished on the spot.

At the same time,

the back of the Great Sage Zhucang was soaked with cold sweat.

So close, so very close!

If the Great Sage Nanhua hadn’t stepped forward, he himself would be bearing the brunt of the Dao Venerable’s wrath.

The Great Sage Zhucang knew very well that his strength was at most at the level of the Great Sage Nanhua; even if there was some difference, it wouldn’t be too great.

This person could severely injure the Great Sage Nanhua with a single blow, so he could certainly severely injure him as well.

Therefore,

the Great Sage Zhucang was now extremely grateful that he hadn’t said too much and angered the other party; otherwise, it would have been a huge problem.

But the next instant, as Jiang Daoxuan’s gaze fell upon him, a terrifying pressure swept over him, causing the Great Sage Zhucang’s body to tremble, and fear to appear in his eyes.

“Senior…Senior—”

“Shen Changqing is protected by my Jiang family. Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him is an enemy of my Jiang family!”

Jiang Daoxuan’s words completely extinguished the last shred of hope in the heart of the Great Sage Zhucang, and also extinguished the killing intent of all the Six Sects, Nine Dynasties, and Thirteen Holy Lands.

Many cultivators looked at Shen Changqing with envy in their eyes.

To have a Dao Venerable step forward to protect him was an unparalleled honor.

More importantly,

to be valued by a Dao Venerable represented a great opportunity.

Many cultivators spent their entire lives without even having the qualification to see a Dao Venerable, let alone gain his favor.

Seeing the silence of all forces, Jiang Daoxuan’s gaze pierced through the void and finally landed on the Great Sage Chenyuan.

“Does your Taiyi Immortal Sect have any objections to this?”
