Chapter 742: Chapter 743: Counter Killing Jian Cangqiong

Chu Fengmian remained alert in his heart, still unsure of the dangers that lay within this valley.

This valley, if it was a test from the Yun Yu Heavenly Palace, it could not possibly be this simple.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a sound of thunder erupted unexpectedly.

In an instant, a bolt of lightning descended from the sky around the valley and struck directly towards Chu Fengmian.

The sudden appearance of this lightning was beyond anyone’s expectation.

Especially here, having just left the attack of the violent wind, it was a moment of relaxation, and the sudden drop of this lightning was extremely dangerous.

"Bang!"

The bolt struck Chu Fengmian, causing him to feel a paralyzing sensation.

Fortunately, Chu Fengmian had not relaxed his guard and had not dissipated the Ancient Dragon Emperor’s body, else the lightning could have severely injured him.

"How terrifying this lightning is, its power is even comparable to many life-and-death tribulations," Chu Fengmian thought to himself with a slight surprise.

The test from the Yun Yu Heavenly Palace was indeed not something that could easily be overcome.

The violent wind was merely the first of the challenges.

Now that the wind had just passed, the lightning struck with a might much greater than that of the wind.

This was only the beginning.

As Chu Fengmian delved deeper into the valley, the number of lightning strikes increased.

Especially now within the valley, unable to mobilize flight, there was no possibility of evading the lightning, and one could only withstand it with their body.

Chu Fengmian, leading at the front, was the first target of these relentless lightning strikes.

Those who followed behind him, like Jian Cangqiong and others, faced much fewer lightning strikes.

"Hmph, this kid rushing to the front is really looking for his own death; he must be having a tremendously hard time dealing with these lightning strikes. Let’s see how much Spiritual Power he has left to counter them, his end is near!" Jian Cangqiong watched Chu Fengmian and sneered continuously.

He had been observing Chu Fengmian’s every move.

Now, Chu Fengmian’s speed had already slowed considerably compared to before, and he seemed to be having a much harder time dealing with the lightning.

In Jian Cangqiong’s view, this was an indication of Chu Fengmian’s excessive consumption of Spiritual Power.

However, Jian Cangqiong was in no hurry; he wanted to kill Chu Fengmian with a sure strike, and he was not sure if Chu Fengmian still had any cards up his sleeve, so he acted cautiously.

"Oh? Still not making a move?"

Chu Fengmian looked behind and noticed that Jian Cangqiong was still following without any intention to strike, his face showed a slight surprise.

Jian Cangqiong was indeed very patient.

Chu Fengmian now appeared overly exhausted from using his Spiritual Power, but that was just a facade he created; owning the Divine Veins, how could Chu Fengmian be over-exhausted?

Now, Chu Fengmian intentionally put on this appearance to lure Jian Cangqiong into action.

It seemed that Jian Cangqiong was still extremely cautious, but this caution would eventually reach its limit.

"Boom!"

Another bolt of lightning surged towards Chu Fengmian.

This bolt of lightning was golden, containing a force much greater than any previous bolts.

Chu Fengmian’s face changed drastically, and he hastily mobilized the Spiritual Power in his body, transforming it into a barrier of Spiritual Power in front of him to block it.

"Crack!"

But the moment this lightning struck, the barrier Chu Fengmian had just formed could not fully withstand it, and with a loud crack, the barrier suddenly shattered.

Countless thunderbolts suddenly descended upon Chu Fengmian.

"Kid, die!"

Jian Cangqiong, standing behind Chu Fengmian, saw this scene and his face suddenly twisted malevolently.

For him, this was the perfect opportunity.

"Hiss!"

A Sword Edge suddenly emerged, aiming straight for Chu Fengmian’s execution.

Jian Cangqiong now planned to take advantage of this thunderbolt to besiege Chu Fengmian and kill him instantly.

Once the sword was drawn, it was a lethal move without a trace of mercy.

Chu Fengmian’s strength was something Jian Cangqiong knew very clearly, and finding this opportunity, his sword strike was completely unrestrained.

In an instant, a streak of Sword Light slashed towards Chu Fengmian’s chest.

This Sword Light was so fast that it was impossible to react in time.

In this valley, under such terrifying suppression of the laws, to still be able to release such Sword Light represented the mightiest strike of Jian Cangqiong.

"Finally making a move!"

Chu Fengmian’s eyes flashed, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

His body jerked, and in an instant, all the thunderbolts on him were devoured.

Gone was the strained appearance he had just before.

At the same time, in the palm of Chu Fengmian, the Ancestor Dragon Supreme Sword also emerged, sending a streak of Sword Light toward Jian Cangqiong.

Chu Fengmian had been waiting for Jian Cangqiong to make a move and had not initiated an attack himself; what he pursued was a decisive kill.

Wanting to kill the top ranked Jian Cangqiong on the Hundred Extremes List with a single stroke was not an easy task.

To make a move in this valley, if he failed to strike successfully, Jian Cangqiong could simply retreat, forcing Chu Fengmian to divert his attention to pursue him.

Hence, Chu Fengmian had to strike fatally, and the most distracted moment for Jian Cangqiong was when he attempted to strike at Chu Fengmian.

At that moment, Jian Cangqiong’s defense was the weakest.

"Sword is Limitless!"

With a flick of the sword in Chu Fengmian’s hand, Jian Cangqiong’s Sword Light was completely shattered.

This streak of Sword Light, after shattering Jian Cangqiong’s Sword Light, showed no mercy as it pierced directly toward Jian Cangqiong.

"No!"

Jian Cangqiong, seeing this unfold, turned deathly pale.

He thought this was the best opportunity to kill Chu Fengmian, but unexpectedly, all of it had been within Chu Fengmian’s calculations.

His figure abruptly moved, trying to swiftly retreat, but Chu Fengmian’s Sword Light pierced directly towards his chest.

"Puff!"

A splash of blood red blossomed at Jian Cangqiong’s chest, his chest was penetrated, and under the force of the Sword Qi, his body was directly torn apart, turning into a whirl of blood mist.

Even with his eightfold realm of life and death, he was now undoubtedly doomed.

"How is this possible?"

"Sword Brother is dead?"

"Not good? Run!"

The remaining three Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, upon seeing this scene, had their expressions drastically change.

They turned to run.

But Chu Fengmian’s Sword Light was much faster than their figures, and with a sweep of Sword Light, all three were turned into mists of blood under the Sword Light.
