Chapter 321: No Need to Act Tough

'Something's off about this person,' Mo Hao thought, his brows furrowing as he sensed a growing hint of aversion within him.

"Greetings, My Lord!" Zhu Zhihai and the others bowed in unison, their expressions brimming with profound reverence.

Yet, deep within them, lingering concerns persisted.

This was because Jiang Chen, despite ranking first in strength on the Immortal Martial Continent and having successively killed two Transcendence realm demons, was now facing several cultivators of the Transcendence realm.

"These people call you 'My Lord'? You're the leader of the Immortal Martial Continent?" Shao Ji raised an eyebrow as he sized up Jiang Chen from head to toe. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, nearly undetectable.

The esteemed leader of the Immortal Martial Continent was merely a young man in the Early-stage Transcendence realm? Truly unexpected!

It made one wonder how the Immortal Martial Continent had even managed to fend off the invasion from the Myriad Demons Continent.

Previously, Shao Ji and his companions had harbored some apprehensions about the Immortal Martial Continent's power. But seeing its strongest figure was merely an Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivator, those concerns now seemed laughable.

"That's correct, I am Jiang Chen," said Jiang Chen, his expression calm as he scanned the crowd. "Currently, I am the number one genius, the top expert, and the leader of the entire Immortal Martial Continent."

Shao Ji and the others instantly responded with a cold sneer upon hearing this statement.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

A mere Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivator speaking with such grandiosity and arrogance!

"Hahaha," Shao Ji burst into hearty laughter, folding his hands in front of him as he turned toward Jiang Chen. "So you're Jiang Chen, the Immortal Martial Continent's number one expert."

"Should the opportunity arise, we'll certainly seek to learn from your expertise," he added.

"But for now, our focus is on weeding out the troublemaker among us. I'd appreciate it if you could prepare detailed information about both the Immortal Martial Continent and the demon race. Given your status, I expect the intelligence will be quite precise and clear."

"After we've dealt with that troublemaker Mo Hao, I trust you will have everything prepared for us." Though his tone seemed polite, it came dangerously close to issuing a command for Jiang Chen.

Given their combined strength, the four could easily dominate the Immortal Martial Continent. To them, Jiang Chen seemed inconsequential.

Yet, a scene that left everyone stunned unfolded.

"A troublemaker? Not necessarily, in my view," Jiang Chen spoke, his expression serene as he looked around, unafraid.

"At present, the Immortal Martial Continent faces the demon race's menace, and the situation is dire. Your assistance from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star is much appreciated."

"But if your intention is to bully the weak and incite internal strife on my turf, that I cannot ignore."

"If you insist on allying with Mo Hao, don't fault us for showing no restraint and targeting you too. The Immortal Martial Continent has no shortage of people; we don't need you for detailed information."

Noticing that Jiang Chen remained defiant, as if he were the sworn enemy of evil, Shao Ji and his companions instantly lost their patience, their killing intent surging!

"Daoist friend Jiang Chen, you truly don't need to interfere," Mo Hao said, furrowing his brows.

"I can handle these people on my own!" Despite his initial reservations about Jiang Chen, Mo Hao didn't want him to risk his life on his account.

"No, there's no need to act tough!" Jiang Chen shook his head solemnly.

"These individuals aim to kill fellow cultivators, completely forsaking their humanity. Allow me to deal with them," he declared with resolve.

"Ahahaha!" Another voice burst into mocking laughter. "He thinks he can handle us!"

"It's laughable! An Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivator, talking about killing the four of usit's sheer fantasy!"

"I'm genuinely curious how someone at the Early-stage Transcendence realm from the Immortal Martial Continent could even scratch us!"

Shao Ji and his companions erupted in disdainful laughter, completely dismissing Jiang Chen.

'Forget it,' Mo Hao thought, 'there's no point in worrying about him anymore.'

'The pill's effects are time-limited; I should act now!' With this realization, he prepared to make his move.

But just as Mo Hao got ready to act, Jiang Chen roared, "A bunch of scum! I'll slaughter you all!" and launched the first strike.

His hands clenched, raised high, and then slashed down with immense force!

At that moment, a potent aura of the Late-stage Transcendence realm burst forth from him!

Various energies of the Great Dao encircled him, the Sword Dao being the most conspicuous and lethal among them.

Furthermore, the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword materialized in Jiang Chen's hand out of nowhere!

He employed a combination of the Falling Sun Nine Heavens Mystic Art and the Death Attraction Nine Tribulations Sword Technique.

In an instant, Jiang Chen channeled all his might through the Purple Heaven Immortal Martial Sword!

A sword light, surpassing the capabilities of a typical Late-stage Transcendence realm, immediately engulfed Shao Ji and his companions.
