Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 430: Chapter 217: Crushing a Celestial Pride

In a desperate gambit, killing Jiang Bohai might not be easy, but killing Jiang Lang would be as simple as turning over his hand!

The annihilating power of his Spiral Dao Realm—a single move would be enough to crush Jiang Lang, a cultivator at Bone Forging Realm Perfection!

Facing this deadly crisis, Jiang Lang stood tall and still, revealing a faint smile.

This bizarre action sent an inexplicable wave of alarm through the Celestial Deformed Old Monster, causing his eyelids to twitch wildly!

Before he could think further, a long saber suddenly swept in from the side.

The blade radiated the power of a wild and domineering Realm—it was clearly Geng Metal Blade Intent.

BOOM!

The Blade Intent hacked into the Spiral Dao Realm, unleashing a deafening roar!

The Spiral Dao Realm had just clashed head-on with Jiang Bohai’s Sword Intent, its power already more than half depleted.

Now, facing the Blade Intent, it instantly shattered.

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster was sent flying several dozen feet by the immense force, and a trickle of black blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. He was clearly injured.

A figure in a Profound Robe, saber in hand, appeared at Jiang Lang’s side!

It was none other than Mao Yong, the City Guard Director of Linji City.

"Elder Hou, forgive me!"

Mao Yong’s gaze was cold and sharp. Without pausing, he charged at the Celestial Deformed Old Monster, his long saber wrapped in an incomparably sharp Blade Intent as he unleashed a series of slashes.

"Insolent pup, you dare!"

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster roared in fury. His Qi Blood Power erupted, forming heavy, rippling waves that shielded his entire body.

BOOM!

In the ensuing roar, the Blade Intent scattered, and the Celestial Deformed Old Monster’s Earth Element Realm was mostly shattered as well.

Both were knocked back several dozen feet.

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster’s Martial Arts Power was a cut above Jiang Bohai’s, and the might of his Spiral Dao Realm was also far stronger than Jiang Bohai’s Sword Intent.

However, he had a fatal weakness. He was in his twilight years, his Qi Blood Power had long since begun to decay, and his body’s Innate Origin couldn’t withstand the consumption.

Unlike Jiang Bohai, he didn’t dare to fully unleash his Qi Blood Power to draw upon the Power of Heaven and Earth Origin.

Thus, even if he could defeat Jiang Bohai in a fight, it would only be a narrow victory.

Now, with the addition of Mao Yong, whose strength was on par with Jiang Bohai’s, how could he possibly stand against them?

It was a classic case of kicking a man while he’s down. Granting the Celestial Deformed Old Monster no respite, Jiang Bohai’s Sword Intent lunged forth once again.

It was even sharper and more ferocious than before!

Apparently, Jiang Bohai hadn’t been using his full strength before!

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster, knowing the danger, hurriedly roused his Qi Blood Power again, condensing his Earth Element Realm to meet Jiang Bohai’s Sword Intent.

BOOM!

This time, they were both thrown back several dozen feet, seemingly evenly matched.

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster had just steadied himself when Mao Yong’s Blade Intent came attacking again.

The two of them were clearly planning to wear the Celestial Deformed Old Monster down and kill him through attrition!

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster was a powerhouse who had been famous for years; how could he not understand their plan?

He let out a strange cry and suddenly leaped into the air. His legs kicked out in a chain, unleashing torrents of ferocious, tyrannical Primordial Gang True Force that ripped through the air and struck the incoming Blade Intent.

CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!

The Blade Intent shattered!

Blasted back by the Primordial Gang True Force, Mao Yong stumbled backward, his face deathly pale and his eyes filled with apprehension.

Primordial Gang True Force was the signature power of an Organ Refining Realm Martial Artist. Its might was so tyrannical it could even contend with a Second Layer Realm.

It was a complete suppression based on Realm!

"He’s a spent force! Nothing to fear! Attack together!"

With a great shout, Jiang Bohai swung his longsword again, slashing toward the Celestial Deformed Old Monster with an incomparably sharp Sword Intent.

While Primordial Gang True Force was formidable, wielding it placed a genuine drain on one’s own Qi Blood Power.

An Organ Refining Realm Martial Artist in their prime, with incredibly strong internal organs and Qi Blood Power as vast as the ocean, could wield Primordial Gang True Force at will.

But in old age, as Qi Blood decayed and organ function went from its peak into decline, every use of Primordial Gang True Force placed an immense burden on the internal organs.

Even if the Celestial Deformed Old Monster could use Primordial Gang True Force, he wouldn’t be able to keep it up!

Realization dawned on Mao Yong. His Qi Blood Power surged, and his long saber became a blur, his Blade Intent sweeping toward the Celestial Deformed Old Monster like a raging tidal wave.

"You are courting death!"

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster roared in fury, unleashing every last bit of his Qi Blood Power as heavy ripples enveloped him.

The power immediately coalesced. Sand and stone whirled into the air as the spiral formed once more.

At the same time, he pushed his Primordial Gang True Force to the absolute limit. As his feet stamped down, the very air seemed to fracture.

BOOM! BOOM!

In an instant, both Jiang Bohai’s Sword Intent and Mao Yong’s Blade Intent were utterly shattered.

Both men were blasted backward.

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster became a mere afterimage, hurtling toward Jiang Bohai wrapped in ferocious, tyrannical Primordial Gang True Force!

At his peak, Jiang Bohai might have been able to use his Sword Intent to clash head-on with the Primordial Gang True Force of an Organ Refining Realm Martial Artist.

But with his Sword Intent just shattered and no time to reconsolidate it, how could he dare to take a direct hit from Primordial Gang True Force using only the True Force of a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Martial Artist?

He unleashed his Qi Blood Power, retreating at top speed. At the same time, he pushed his True Force to the limit, swinging his longsword in a slash before him.

But unexpectedly, the Celestial Deformed Old Monster suddenly changed direction. With a few flashing leaps, he was over a hundred feet away, vanishing into the mountain forest.

"You two shameless juniors, I will remember this day!"

Jiang Bohai stood with his sword, his gaze deep in thought, as if considering whether to give chase.

The Celestial Deformed Old Monster’s sudden retreat clearly meant he was truly at the end of his rope.

Mao Yong guessed his thoughts and said with a wry smile, "Hou Xinghuai is from the same generation as the Ancestors of the Four Great Clans. He was once one of the most renowned Martial Artists in Linji City.

Although his Qi Blood has decayed now, if he were to fight with his life on the line, he’s still not to be underestimated.

Even if we join forces, I doubt we’d be able to finish him off."

"Forget it! Let that old scoundrel cling to his wretched life for a few more days.

First, let’s finish off these Demon Beasts."

Jiang Bohai sighed softly.

While the three of them had been locked in combat, the Demon-slaying Team had continued to kill Demon Beasts.

With two Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Martial Artists—Jiang Bohai and Mao Yong—joining in, all the Demon Beasts were wiped out in less than an hour.

Several hundred soldiers of the Protectorate Army who had been waiting nearby hurried over, coordinating with the Demon-slaying Team to gather the various Demon Beast Materials.

Jiang Bohai, Mao Yong, and Jiang Lang walked out of the valley.

"Ah Lang, you have now reached Bone Forging Realm Perfection and gained enough experience."

"When we return from this demon-slaying trip, you should go into seclusion for a while and strive to enter the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm soon."

Jiang Bohai said, glancing at Jiang Lang.

"Second Granduncle, I understand," Jiang Lang replied respectfully, but his expression was tinged with dejection.

Jiang Bohai saw through him and said with a smile, "Wanting to comprehend the Geng Metal Realm while you’re still in the Bone Forging Realm is a good thing.

But when Cultivating Martial Dao, more haste often means less speed. Cultivation at the Realm level requires a great deal of time to accumulate and settle.

You’re only twenty-seven, and you’re already stronger than all the geniuses of the younger generation in Linji City. There’s no need to rush.

Even Zheng Hun, Linji City’s once-in-a-century prodigy, didn’t comprehend a Realm until he was twenty-seven or twenty-eight, right?

After this demon-slaying trip, go into seclusion for a while. First, advance to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm. Once you’re there, comprehending the Geng Metal Realm will be a matter of course.

Your accomplishments on the Martial Dao won’t be any less than Zheng Hun’s. After you join the Great Dao Sect, you should be able to smoothly become a True Disciple within two years."

"Yes." Jiang Lang nodded.

Just then, Mao Yong said, "Those villains from the Black Lotus Sect, taking advantage of a demon disaster to stir up trouble... they’re truly detestable.

If we hadn’t received news in advance, the demon disaster in Xin’an County probably wouldn’t have been resolved this easily.

The Black Lotus Sect has Left and Right Guardians. The Left Guardian, the Celestial Deformed Old Monster, came to Xin’an County.

The Right Guardian, the Earth Defect Old Monster, has gone to Moshan County. Should we send someone to notify the Shen Family?"

Jiang Bohai shot him a look and, instead of answering, retorted, "Lord Mao, what do you think? Should we notify the Shen Family?"

Mao Yong was stunned for a moment before it dawned on him. From the Jiang Family’s standpoint, they would probably love nothing more than for the Shen Family and the Black Lotus Sect villains to fight to a mutual ruin.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh and feigned ignorance. "The Shen Family’s spies have probably gotten the news by now, right?"

Jiang Bohai naturally took pleasure in the Shen Family’s misfortune.

However, although Mao Yong was a subordinate of the Jiang Family, he was ultimately an outsider, so this sense of schadenfreude could not be too obvious.

Jiang Bohai sighed softly. "My Jiang Family gave the Shen Family their chance long ago. It’s a shame they didn’t cherish it."

Mao Yong knew the "chance" Jiang Bohai mentioned was, of course, the matter of Jiang Lang’s expressed interest in marrying the two direct-line young ladies of the Shen Family, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang.

The Shen Family’s clear refusal had undoubtedly enraged the Jiang Family.

Because of this, Mao Yong felt it wasn’t his place to comment further.
