After retrieving Qiongqi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong, Jiang Chen headed toward the direction of his earlier battle with Tang Chen.
Sure enough, when he returned to the edge of that deep pit, he saw Tang Chen's corpse still lying there.
A legendary figure of a generation, the strongest of the Clear Sky Sect, had ended up discarded in the wilderness after death. It was truly somewhat pitiful.
"Forget it. Let me at least bury you so you can rest in peace."
Jiang Chen had just been about to bury Tang Chen and erect a stele for him when a sudden idea struck him.
He stored Tang Chen's corpse in a separate soul tool, intending to let the man return to his roots.
This was a grand gift he was preparing for Tang San.
After collecting Tang Chen's body, Jiang Chen turned to look in the direction of Slaughter City.
Although he had been completely occupied with battle earlier and had no time to pay attention to other matters, during his fight with Tang Chen he had already sensed the massive surge of resentment rising into the sky from the direction of Slaughter City.
His perception of resentment would not be wrong. Something major must have happened in Slaughter City.
"Not good." Connecting this to the fact that Tang San and the others had previously been beneath Slaughter City, Jiang Chen immediately felt a bad premonition.
Stuffing several pills into his mouth, Jiang Chen raced toward Slaughter City at full speed.
When he returned to Slaughter City, the slaughter in the small town was still ongoing, though it was already nearing its end.
Most of the fallen ones had already left; fewer than a thousand remained.
Jiang Chen's expression was extremely grave. The fallen ones inside Slaughter City had actually escaped.
He knew full well that there were at least tens of thousands of fallen ones inside.
Those people had already been ruthless villains before entering Slaughter City. Inside it, their humanity had been completely extinguished, their minds twisted to the extreme. Aside from still possessing a human shell, they could no longer be called human.
Jiang Chen looked around. The entire small town was littered with broken corpses.
The women's bodies, however, remained relatively intact, though they had been crazily violated to death. The scene was appalling.
"Hehehe… There's still one left here." One of the fallen ones spotted Jiang Chen's appearance and, with a ferocious grin, charged at him.
In his hand he held a large serrated cleaver, its teeth still hanging with scraps of flesh, and blood still stained his mouth.
The moment his voice rang out, it immediately drew the attention of several hundred nearby fallen ones.
"Don't snatch him! He's mine!"
Those fallen ones all charged over in a frenzy.
Jiang Chen's expression was utterly cold. Beneath that icy face, boundless rage was already brewing.
Watching the serrated-cleaver big man charge at him, Jiang Chen clenched his right fist and, from more than ten meters away, simply punched toward the man.
Qi force erupted from his fist, and the air exploded all along its path.
Bang! The fallen one's body was directly blasted apart.
Jiang Chen opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing in the essence contained within the blood and flesh.
This scene shocked the several hundred fallen ones.
That big man had been a Spirit Douluo-level expert, an invincible existence even inside Slaughter City. Aside from the enforcers, no one dared provoke him.
Yet now he had been blasted apart by a single punch from this young man across space.
Moreover, the other party had not even used a spirit skill. His methods were extremely strange.
"He… he's the Blood Demon! The Blood Demon from ten years ago!"
One of the fallen ones recognized Jiang Chen and turned to flee in panic.
The rest of the fallen ones all stopped in terror. Most of them had lived through the Blood Demon era and were extremely fearful of the Blood Demon's methods.
Immediately, quite a few fallen ones retreated in alarm.
"What are you afraid of? Back then his spirit power was only at the Spirit Ancestor level. Now that he's left Slaughter City, everyone can use spirit skills. Why should we still fear him?" someone shouted madly, killing intent surging.
At once, the eyes of most of the fallen ones lit up.
Back then they had only been able to cower under the Blood Demon's shadow. Now they finally had a chance for revenge, how could they possibly let it slip by?
Jiang Chen remained expressionless throughout. In his eyes there was only endless coldness.
His martial soul was instantly released. Eight deep-crimson spirit rings caused those fallen ones to feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Their entire bodies went cold, their souls dominated by enormous fear.
Flee!
That was the only thought left in their minds.
Yet it was already too late. A massive Corpse Poison Array a kilometer in diameter appeared beneath their feet. Immediately, countless people had their footsteps slowed, while the weaker ones simply collapsed.
Qiongqi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were once again released by Jiang Chen.
"Kill them all. Leave none alive!" Jiang Chen said coldly.
Then his figure flashed as he swiftly moved through other parts of the small town, reaping the lives of the remaining fallen ones.
In less than ten minutes, every fallen one in the entire small town had been purged.
However, every single person who had originally lived in the small town had also died. Not one survived.
Jiang Chen's heart was extremely heavy. There had only been a few hundred fallen ones here; the rest had definitely already headed outside.
With a thought, three enormous figures appeared, the Titan Giant Ape, the Azure Bull Python, and one unidentified spirit beast.
These were all his puppets. With the situation urgent, he could no longer care about anything else.
He split off strands of soul power and attached them to these puppets. Then the five puppets, together with Qiongqi, immediately scattered in all directions to pursue the fallen ones who had left the small town.
As for Jiang Chen himself, he headed toward the nearest city. The situation here had to be reported to Spirit Hall as quickly as possible so that the Spirit Hall branches in every region could prepare defenses and clear out the fallen ones.
This was a catastrophe, a catastrophe for the Spirit Empire, an unavoidable catastrophe.
What Jiang Chen had to do was eliminate this catastrophe as quickly as possible.
...
At this moment, within the God Realm, inside the enormous Castle of Destruction.
The faces of the God of Destruction, the Sea God, and the others were all extremely gloomy.
Some of the other deities wore expressions of panic.
This operation would have been fine if they had managed to kill Jiang Chen, but they had failed, and they had already drawn the attention of the Asura God.
This time, the Asura God would absolutely deliver a heavy blow against them.
"This is a genius of the Douluo Continent? Trash!" the God of Destruction cursed.
The Sea God's face was extremely ugly. "None of us expected that Jiang Chen, at only rank eighty-nine, could defeat Tang Chen who possessed the Asura Sword, and that he even had several helpers."
The God of Destruction said in a deep voice, "This Jiang Chen is hiding major secrets. There are many things even we cannot see clearly. If he is truly allowed to grow, the God Realm will be in danger!"
Everyone else's hearts sank. This time they had thoroughly offended Jiang Chen. If this human truly became a god, would there still be any place for them in the God Realm afterward?
"Jiang Chen must die!" a deity completely enveloped in flames said in a low voice.
The God of Destruction stood up. "The Evil God King has notified me to attend a meeting."
The others immediately tensed. A female spirit master radiating treasure light hurriedly said, "Lord Destruction, you said before that if anything went wrong you would ensure we remain unharmed."
The God of Destruction replied, "Relax. I have already made arrangements. Nothing will happen to you. What you need to do is quickly restore the strength of your successors and wait for the next operation."
"Don't worry. That Jiang Chen will die without a doubt next time!" the Sea God said.
This time, he had felt a threat from Jiang Chen, a threat coming from a human.
Therefore, this human must die!
