Chapter 344: Chapter 224 How are you still alive?

"Blunder, blunder!"

Sword Qi grazed his scalp.

His figure flashed, emitting a captivating golden light, moving rapidly through the mountains like a ghost; however, the noise from behind promptly made him dive towards the side.

Using both arms and legs, he lept over ten meters in a burst.

Swoosh—

His front foot landed, and immediately a Sword Qi from behind struck, splitting the mountain and rocks, nearly cleaving him into two. A few drops of the eerie Purple Flames caught onto his body. He slapped it off but unexpectedly, the flames spread along his arm, burning uncontrollably.

The sight undoubtedly worsened the man’s expression, so he simply raised his knife and chopped off his entire left arm!

If it weren’t for his progress these past few days, he might have already been struck down.

The figure hiding in the mountains was none other than one of the disciples assigned to Shuipang County by Purple Cloud Palace, who also happened to survive Jin Shan.

Compared to the submissive demeanor he displayed in Shuipang County a few days ago, his current state was utterly astonishing; despite only being mid-stage in Foundation Establishment, he was somehow able to withstand such a long time under... no, under the remnant soul of Demon Night True Monarch.

Moreover, the aura bursting from his body indicated his realm far exceeded the current standards, yet the frenzied youth merely waved the lethal blade in his hands, the firestick he somehow regained in his grasp.

With a single swing towards the fleeing figure!

Mountains were cut off.

Rivers reversed.

The clear sky tore apart.

Even from a hundred miles away, one could feel the terrifying power that could destroy heaven and earth.

The escaping Purple Cloud Palace disciple, seeing no escape, simply put his palms together in prayer, his movements somewhat resembling those of Jin Shan just moments ago, though the phenomena emerging from them were entirely different.

"All Laws Return to One, Buddha Infant return to your place."

He uttered in a low shout.

And then, from the Dantian of this Purple Cloud Palace disciple, a tiny golden human figure emerged, appearing to be a lively Nascent Soul.

After the golden Nascent Soul appeared, it immediately vanished, and the disciple’s body withered like a drained corpse, turning ashen and wrinkled like tree bark.

Crack!

The terrifying purple-black Sword Qi not only completely tore the corpse apart but also split the mountain peak in two.

Birds mourned, heaven and earth wept, and the burning Purple Flames seemed to carry countless screams, despair, wails, pain, and fear...

What he unleashed was not merely Sword Qi, but the Six Desires.

"Hiss—this kid."

He couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

The commotion in the mountains even caused the sky to change color; such a degree could no longer be explained by mere possession of extraordinary phenomena. Even the widely knowledgeable Young Master Yan couldn’t discern the method, but one thing was certain.

Even his family’s elder standing here would probably not be able to withstand a single blow.

After a day of fierce battles and narrow escapes, his expression still carried a hint of lingering fear, unsure whether to cry or to laugh.

His survival from this upheaval was thanks to Jiang Feng; with Jiang Feng as the center, the earth split, releasing Sword Qi in eight directions; even cornered, he could feel the destructive force that obliterated a Grotto Heaven.

But the problem is...

"Cough, cough, cough, this kid, doesn’t know how to hold back, nearly had me gone too."

He coughed forcefully.

Covering his chest, his expression pained, the impact not only completely devastated Fangcun Mountain but he was also injured, coughing up dark blood, his organs as if scorched by fierce fire, thankfully his bones were intact.

He could sense that although Jiang Feng was delirious, he still retained a shred of sanity, not striking at them; many waves of Sword Qi intentionally avoided their direction. Raising his hand, he pinched a spell, continuously gathering Spiritual Energy.

Then pointed at the woman lying on the ground.

That was Lu Luo, who should have been trampled into a pulp!

"Senior Sister Su, you absolutely must not have an accident, that kid went mad because of you, now who knows who can stop him."

"You better make some noise, at worst, leave your Divine Soul behind."

"When we return to the sect, we may still think of a way, find a body that lost its soul but can still live on, just don’t let both body and soul be destroyed... Hmm?"

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Yan Fengchun, although not present initially, was quick-witted; seeing Jiang Feng go mad and chop the Golden Arhat into a pile of flesh, he braved the risk and dug Lu Luo out from the mud.

While he was averse to risking his own life, if he didn’t even attempt to save his fellow disciples, his entry into Purple Cloud Palace would have been in vain, especially since Lu Luo was trying to save someone; morally and logically, he had to collect the corpse.

Initially, he had braced for the worst, thinking Lu Luo might have already been crushed into a meat patty or a lump of rotting flesh, but upon digging her out, he discovered she was still barely breathing.

Checking her pulse, his expression grew even more amazed.

"Wait a minute, why is this?"

"Her meridians and Dan Mansion are damaged, and many bones are broken, but why is she still clinging to life?"

"That kick from the Arhat would have killed even a Nascent Soul Stage expert, how did she survive... oh, I see."

His expression turned somewhat joyous, immediately channeling the remaining Spiritual Energy into her, though heavily injured, fortunately, her life was preserved.

He could guess what had happened earlier.

"Fangcun Mountain is surrounded by rocks and soil, just then, she and Mr. Jiang were both precisely in an area with lush trees and fertile soil."
