Chapter 928: Chapter 928: The Demeanor of Lord Jiang

"No..."

Terror crawled across Wei Chang’s face.

This late-stage Fourth Realm of Emperor Realm expert let out the first scream.

He couldn’t accept this outcome.

Even if he died in battle, at least he would have died understanding why.

But what was this?

"I won’t accept it!"

The others also broke down instantly, roaring to the sky.

"Why?"

"He clearly said so much, it’s impossible..."

"I’m not willing..."

Their words stopped abruptly in the next moment.

All of them simultaneously touched the red line above, and were then instantly obliterated.

Including Wei Chang, more than eighty of them died at the same time.

No exceptions, no resistance.

Though this idiotic balance mechanism sounded childish, it didn’t hesitate to kill, much like the legendary Sanction Blade.

When they all perished, there was no one left on the opposite scale.

This time’s show-off battle ended here.

The scales disappeared, and Brother Cheng returned to the outside world.

Looking at the loot scattered before him, he sighed with a face full of desolation.

"Sigh, competing with amateurs who couldn’t figure out the rules till the end, even if I won, there’s nothing to be proud of!"

At this moment, even the system almost couldn’t help but ridicule him.

Enough, enough!

It’s all over, yet you’re still showing off endlessly.

What, you’re not satisfied yet?

Brother Cheng was indeed not very satisfied.

Compared to hard-fought battles, just now was a method of victory he preferred more.

"It’s just a shame, the show-off scales appeared only once, and who knows when they’ll appear again."

With the system’s style, revival methods are rarely repeated.

Besides coming back to life as a success, only the Inner World has reappeared.

"Never mind, one should not be too greedy, I should be content."

"I’ll just collect some loot to comfort myself..."

While he was busy here, the four Vice Lords in the distance were already petrified.

In fact, they hadn’t witnessed the show-off balance test.

The scene presented to outsiders like them at the time was that both sides in the battle suddenly disappeared from the spot.

And when they reappeared, only Jiang Cheng was alive.

As for the others, shattered ice bodies and broken corpses were scattered all over, the Human Race Cultivators’ blood dyeing the ruins of the glacier below red.

Though they didn’t know how Jiang Cheng did it, at least they had eyes.

No need to guess, they already knew Lord Jiang didn’t die earlier.

Later, he used some magical means to kill all the others.

After reaching this conclusion, they were dumbfounded, nearly losing their senses.

What kind of method was this?

How strong is Lord Jiang, really?

Could it be that he’s actually Emperor Realm Fifth Layer?

Upon closer thought, faced with such a formidable lineup of over a hundred strong, only someone of Emperor Realm Fifth Layer could survive, right?

As for whether an Emperor Realm Fifth Layer could wipe out all those hundreds, they weren’t sure.

It was at this moment that the late-arriving Gong Qing finally broke the silence.

"Lord Jiang!"

Her realm was too low, making her journey slow.

By the time she arrived, Brother Cheng was in a battle on the show-off balance, having seen nothing of the time.

"Great, you’re alive!"

Jiang Cheng not dying finally lifted a great weight off her heart.

After all, her fate was now tied to Jiang Cheng; their prosperity or ruin became one.

If Brother Cheng died, then even if she, at Emperor Realm Second Layer, managed to survive, she would once again become obscure.

Unless she met someone in this power-centric cultivation realm who truly valued her talent.

"Oh, you’ve arrived."

Busy collecting loot, Brother Cheng merely raised his head slightly before continuing his work.

Gong Qing didn’t know that for Sect Leader Jiang, this was already uncommon attention for her.

Previously, when this guy collected loot, he utterly ignored everyone else.

"Where are those foreign experts?"

Looking at the remains before her, she had a hunch, yet couldn’t believe it.

Having not witnessed Di Yong and the other three experts being slain, she lacked confidence in Brother Cheng’s combat prowess, unable to believe that presumption.

Lang Zhi’s voice trembled intensely as he exclaimed.

"Lord Jiang’s power towers above the heavens; he has single-handedly slain every invader, including Wei Chang, Di Yong, and Zhu Song!"

All four Vice Lords flew over.

Looking at Sect Leader Jiang, who ignored them and remained engrossed in his task, their hearts were filled with admiration and reverence.

Look at this man’s demeanor.

Having just won an epic battle, gaining a victory that would shake the entire Scarlet Snow Domain, yet he’s just continuing with his work, showing not a bit of pride.

As if it were just a casual task.

What does it mean to be a true expert?

This is what being a true expert means!

Yan Zun was the first to flatter him: "Lord Jiang’s strength is not only unfathomable, but his demeanor and grace are equally captivating!"

The other few Vice Lords hurried not to fall behind.

"Lord Jiang is a model for us to emulate in both skill and manner!"

"Absolutely there’s no doubt he’s Emperor Realm Fifth Layer!"

Gong Qing was left dumbfounded.

What? What?

Did he truly take down all those enemies single-handedly?

No way!

How is that possible?

Wasn’t he just at Emperor Realm Second Layer late-stage under my very eyes?

Even if he’s extraordinarily special, able to challenge realms beyond his, there must be a limit, right?

In fact, she wasn’t wrong; Brother Cheng’s current limit was just barely conquering a single late-stage Fourth Realm of Emperor Realm.

"How did you do it, did you set up an ambush here beforehand?"

She figured he must have used some other means.

"High-tier array?"

"Or super restriction?"

"A powerful Immortal Treasure?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Yan Zun interrupted her.

"Zhu Song, Di Yong, and the others were all slain by a single strike from Lord Jiang; we saw it with our own eyes, no ambush or array whatsoever!"

Geng River took a deep breath and slowly said, "In the face of absolute power, those complex plans are just redundant."

"Indeed, I finally understand why his lordship chose to alter the plan."

"With such power, there’s no need to provoke those enemies to fight among themselves..."

"Just directly kill them all at once; simple, efficient, avoiding any unnecessary complications."

Without using any aids, merely relying on his sheer strength to slay them all?

Gong Qing was utterly perplexed.

She now felt everything was too incredible.

So the person she accidentally encountered was actually an Emperor Realm Fifth Layer expert?

Then, Brother Cheng finally finished collecting the loot.

Just a simple tally and he almost couldn’t stop grinning.

This time, he acquired four Tier Two True Artifacts, from top experts like Di Yong and Wei Chang.

He could change gear again.

As for the Tier Twelve Immortal Armor, knowing his style, there’s no way he’d wear it.

Otherwise, with layers of armor stacked too thick, encountering an evenly matched opponent in the future, he wouldn’t die for a long time.
