Chapter 685: Chapter 682: With a Flick of a Finger
"Jiang Jichen? HAHA... You mean that piece of trash who can only survive by hiding in the Land of Chaos under the protection of Supreme Realm experts?"
"Heh, that trash Jiang Jichen killed a lot of our Celestial Corpse Sect members. If he dares to show his face now, I’ll tear him limb from limb on the spot."
"Enough talk. Since they’re connected to Jiang Jichen, we have even more reason to torture them and avenge our fallen brothers!"
"HAHA..."
The group of living corpses all burst into arrogant laughter.
Tang Ni saw what was happening and wanted to go rescue them, but she was tied up fighting two Corpse Saints and couldn’t break free.
Xia Qing and the others were in no better a state. They were in dire peril themselves and couldn’t possibly help.
"Why bother struggling? It’s all futile!"
The living corpses roared, their voices filled with excitement and madness.
Despair finally flickered in the eyes of the Red Beauty Sect disciples.
At this moment, they wanted to self-destruct—to detonate their own bodies!
Just as this thought crossed the minds of the Red Beauty Sect disciples, a faint voice drifted across the entire mountain.
"I heard someone say that if I appeared, they would tear me limb from limb. Well, I’m here now. I’d like to see just how you plan on dismembering me."
As the voice faded, the living corpses saw a young man walking toward them through the air, his expression impassive.
"Ah!"
The moment they saw Jiang Jichen, both Tang Ni and Xia Qing froze. The other Red Beauty Sect disciples had, of course, heard his words as well.
Even those who had never seen Jiang Jichen before knew who he was from his words.
Jiang Jichen, the Luochen Sect Master, leader of the Southern Continent’s third-largest new power... and also... the Sect Leader of their very own Red Beauty Sect!
All the living corpses stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed on the approaching young man.
"You’re Jiang Jichen?"
A Tier One Corpse Saint asked coldly.
"I am Jiang Jichen, and I’m also the Sect Leader of the Red Beauty Sect. Any other questions?"
Jiang Jichen asked faintly.
"No, but—"
A Corpse King started to speak, but before he could finish, his body suddenly exploded, and his voice cut off abruptly.
"No? Then you can all die."
As the Corpse King’s body was annihilated, Jiang Jichen’s merciless voice rang out.
Then, Jiang Jichen attacked.
He simply flicked his finger, and a rain of Seven-Colored Finger Light shot out in all directions.
There was no specific technique to the Soul-destroying Finger Light; he simply unleashed it as he pleased.
PFFT!
PFFT!
PFFT!
...
Wherever the Seven-Color Finger Light passed, every Corpse Puppet, Corpse General, and Corpse King exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist.
Nearly five thousand living corpses had covered the mountain, but now, one by one, they vanished into clouds of blood mist.
Soon, only the three Tier One Corpse Saints remained.
With a flick of his finger, five thousand living corpses were wiped from existence.
The disciples of the Red Beauty Sect who witnessed this were utterly shocked, finding it hard to believe their own eyes.
Moments ago, they had been in despair, on the verge of self-destruction.
But in the next instant, their Sect Leader in-name-only appeared. With a few words and a flick of his finger, he had made it all vanish, rescuing them from the brink of death and despair.
Such unparalleled dominance and absolute power made the faces of the Red Beauty Sect disciples flush and their hearts race.
’This... this is a hero saving the damsel in distress! It’s so romantic!’
Seeing Jiang Jichen, who seemed like a Celestial God descended from the heavens, the disciples of the Red Beauty Sect couldn’t help but let their imaginations run wild.
Tang Ni and Xia Qing never would have expected to see Jiang Jichen under these circumstances.
"Sect Leader, it’s really you! This is wonderful! You finally decided to show up. I was starting to think you’d forgotten all about us."
Tang Ni sauntered over to Jiang Jichen’s side with a flirtatious air, looking him up and down.
"How could I forget? I saw the Celestial Corpse Sect had dispatched a million troops, making it unsafe everywhere, so I rushed right over!"
"Haha... I could forget anything, but never you, Tang Ni, or Xia Qing."
In reality, Jiang Jichen had forgotten all about them; he had just stumbled upon them by chance while passing through.
But he would never let that show. 𝖿𝖗ⅇℴ𝑚
He was determined to insist that he had made a special trip just for them.
"Sect Leader, what about me? I’m Xiao’ai!"
"And me, Xiaomin!"
"I’m Little Demon!"
...
At this, the other Red Beauty Sect disciples called out with cheerful laughter.
They were completely ignoring the three Corpse Saints!
At this moment, the arrogant, lecherous expressions on the faces of the three Tier One Corpse Saints had vanished, replaced by terror and despair.
They didn’t dare move a muscle, as Jiang Jichen’s Divine Thought had them locked down.
The slightest movement, and they would die.
It was an instinctual feeling—they would truly die.
Facing Jiang Jichen, they felt as insignificant as dust, as ants in his path.
"Ladies, I remember all of you,"
"Yes, I came this time to bring all of you to the Land of Chaos."
"From now on, the Red Beauty Sect will be a branch of the Luochen Sect that only recruits female disciples. Tang Ni, I’ll leave the arrangements to you. If you’re missing anything or if any issues come up, you can come directly to me."
Jiang Jichen said with a gentle smile.
His cold, indifferent demeanor from moments ago was gone.
"Venerable One, spare us!"
At that, the three Tier One Corpse Saints’ legs began to tremble, and cold sweat poured down their faces.
They could no longer withstand the pressure of Jiang Jichen’s Divine Sense. Any longer and they would collapse.
So, all three Tier One Corpse Saints knelt at once to beg for their lives.
"Spare you? Have you ever spared anyone else?"
Jiang Jichen spoke coldly, his gaze finally falling upon the three Corpse Saints.
"We were wrong! We’re willing to be your slaves, to do your bidding!"
The three Tier One Corpse Saints shuffled forward on their knees.
But in that instant, the three Corpse Saints suddenly shot up, each grabbing a disciple from the Red Beauty Sect.
"Heh, Jiang Jichen, get three miles away from us, now! If you don’t, they’ll become cold corpses in an instant!"
"HAHA... Did you really think we were sincere? We were just tricking you."
"Now your pretty little disciples are in our hands. The only way they’ll live is if you do exactly as we say."
Gone were the looks of terror and despair on the three Tier One Corpse Saints’ faces. Now, they were laughing with wild arrogance.
"Sect Leader, don’t worry about us! Just kill these three animals!"
The captured Red Beauty Sect disciple cried out.
Jiang Jichen just smiled. "How could I not care about you? But as for them... they’re not enough to threaten me."
As he spoke, the three Tier One Corpse Saints suddenly felt their bodies jolt. An invisible Secret Power had bound them, leaving them completely unable to move.
