The World that Tao Rules, Volume 6, page 23
With a sneer, Mo Shan's fist swung out, not towards Jiang Yun's fist, but towards his body!
All that talk of negotiation is nonsense!
I'm not foolish, why should I stand here and let you hit me!
You hit me, of course I'll hit you back!
Despite most people feeling disdain towards Mo Shan's deceitful behavior, that disdain was instantly swept away by this terrifying punch.
The punch created a vertical vortex in the air, within which numerous twisted faces appeared, all opening their mouths in a silent howl.
Where the fist passed, the ground with cracks collapsed and shattered into pieces, rapidly spreading downwards.
If someone could see from far away, they would find that this five thousand feet tall mountain is suddenly split in two!
The power of a punch can actually split a mountain!
In the eyes of the crowd, Mo Shan's fist, striking out like a dragon, is no longer a fist, but has transformed into a demon!
Throughout history, among all races, demons are the most unruly!
Even the cultivators are feeling fearful at this moment. Unless they use life-saving secret techniques or treasures, relying solely on their physical bodies, no one can withstand Mo Shan's punch.
Clearly, Mo Shan intends to use this punch to kill Jiang Yun completely, so he put all his strength into it.
In the eyes of the crowd, what Jiang Yun needs to do now is quickly dodge and find a way to strike back after avoiding the sharpness of Mo Shan's punch.
Anyway, absolutely cannot collide head-on with Mo Shan.
However, Jiang Yun has no intention of retreating his fist at all. A cold smile appeared on his calm face, and he suddenly accelerated the speed of his fist!
Actually, Jiang Yun had already anticipated Mo Shan's untrustworthiness.
You can't believe the enemy's words, so don't be deceived by his already swinging fist. Using only his own strength without invoking the power of the flesh and spirit, but at the moment when Mo Shan raised his fist, his body's power of the flesh and spirit instantly emerged and merged with his body.
In an instant, his entire body entered a petrified state, with all the power of the flesh and spirit rushing toward his fist without reservation.
What most people don't know is that despite his fist showing no sign of power, due to his precise control of spirit qi, he also has the same level of control over the power of the flesh.
It's easy to make your fist look powerful, but that approach will only waste the power of the flesh.
Take Mo Shan's punch now, although it is indeed extremely powerful, under his spectacular momentum, there is still some wasted power of the flesh.
If there is a huge gap in strength with the enemy, wasting some power is not a big deal, but if the strength is equal, even a slight loss of power can lead to disaster.
Therefore, Jiang Yun's punch not only contains all his strength but also does not waste any bit of it.
Seeing Jiang Yun not backing down and determined to exchange punches head-on with Mo Shan, everyone's eyes widened to the extreme.
"Boom!"
In this way, Mo Shan and Jiang Yun's fists hit each other's bodies heavily at the same time, so the sounds of the two punches overlapped.
As the booming sound rang out, the two men's bodies fell into a still state.
They each maintained their punching postures, standing quietly there as if they had turned into statues.
The onlookers, even Lu Yourong who had already opened his spiritual eyes, could not determine who had won.
Suddenly!
Jiang Yun's body shook heavily, and he quickly staggered backwards, retreating more than ten steps before finally stopping.
His face turned extremely pale and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
Strangely, his eyes became brighter, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Although everyone was puzzled by Jiang Yun's expression, it was clear that Mo Shan had won the battle as Jiang Yun was pushed back and Mo Shan stood tall and strong.
"Senior Mage, you're so powerful!"
"Did you see that? This is the strength of our Samsara Sect!"
The disciples of Samsara Sect couldn't help but start cheering for their victory.
But then, a crisp sound suddenly cut through their cheers.
Following that, the crisp sound continued, like a constant rainfall.
This sound was coming from Mo Shan's body, standing firm like a mountain.
When everyone looked towards the sound, their faces turned pale with shock.
Mo Shan's strong and sturdy body began to slowly weaken under the continuous crisp sounds.
The feeling people got was like Mo Shan's body lost all muscles and bones support, until only skin left!
Chapter 397: Half a Year of Calm
Mo Shan is dead!
As a natural demon clan with the Earth Demon Body, after colliding with Jiang Yun with pure strength, his entire bones and muscles were crushed by Jiang Yun's punch!
No wonder Mo Shan stood there motionless all along, because he was already dead the moment Jiang Yun's power entered his body, unable to move at all.
Jiang Yun's full bodily strength was all inside Mo Shan's body without any waste, exploding!
This result naturally made everyone present unable to accept and believe.
Especially the Samsara Sect disciples who were cheering just a moment ago, now staring blankly at Mo Shan's body that could hardly be considered a corpse, just a piece of skin, their minds blank.
When they snapped out of it, these people suddenly turned around, rushed down the mountain at the fastest speed.
They knew they were weaker than Mo Shan, who died from just one punch by Jiang Yun. So, they dared not stay any longer.
Even though the vortex above Jiang Yun's head was mesmerizing, their own lives were more important than the vortex.
With the Samsara Sect leaving, the others naturally dared not stay any longer.
Some cultivators still held a glimmer of hope, but after seeing Mo Shan's body, they chose to leave.
Everyone started heading down the mountain, but then Jiang Yun suddenly spoke, "Taoist friend from the Grand Medicine Sect, if you wish, you can stay!"
There were only seven disciples from the Grand Medicine Sect, all of them pharmacists.
Despite witnessing Jiang Yun's performance at the Drug Competition, they had no connection with him.
Even though they had a message from Elder Shen in their jade slips, none of them had the courage to stay by Jiang Yun's side.
When Jiang Yun unexpectedly spoke up, the seven disciples stopped in their tracks, exchanging worried glances, unsure of his intentions.
Jiang Yun could tell what they were thinking, so he quickly said, "I promised Elder Shen of your sect that I will try my best to cooperate with you all! Of course, if you're not willing, I won't force you."
Jiang Yun also gave face to the Grand Medicine Sect. Even though Elder Shen asked him to take care of the disciples of the Grand Medicine Sect, he intentionally said it as cooperation.
After saying that, Jiang Yun ignored the seven people and checked Tang Yi's injuries. After confirming that he was not in mortal danger, he returned to his original position, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
Although Jiang Yun indeed killed Mo Shan with one punch, shocking everyone, Mo Shan's power was also extraordinary, at least causing him injuries.
However, instead of healing, he had more important things to do!
Apart from himself, the one who truly endured the force of Mo Shan's punch was also his physical and Dao bodies!
It could be said that he divided Mo Shan's power in two - he bore the physical force himself, while he handed the earth's power to the physical and Dao bodies.
The purpose of doing this was to hope that the physical and Dao bodies could use the earth's power to undergo a transformation.
So far, the only thing inside Jiang Yun's body that has not condensed the Blessed Land was his physical and Dao bodies.
Originally, the power of the fleshly body path needed to complement Jiang Yun's own fleshly body, but after seeing Mo Shan's Earth Demon Body, Jiang Yun thought that maybe he could speed up this process.
As a result, his thoughts truly began to turn into reality.
After absorbing a large amount of Earth power, the fleshly body path actually triggered a trace of uncontrollable Earth power within Jiang Yun's body.
Now, Jiang Yun wanted to truly integrate this trace of Earth power into his fleshly body path, allowing it to not only gather Blessed Land with the Earth power but also control it.
His own body was unable to achieve this, as he did not have a magic body, and his cultivation realm was only at the Blessed Land Realm. But if the fleshly body path could achieve it, then he would be able to control the Earth power as well.
As Jiang Yun closed his eyes to cultivate, the seven members of the Grand Medicine Sect hesitated briefly before finally gritting their teeth and choosing to leave!
Their influence was weak, so if they could find other fellow disciples willing to stay by Jiang Yun's side, they would naturally be willing.
However, with only the seven of them, if Jiang Yun really had ill intentions towards them, he wouldn't even need to act himself. The over ten disciples from the Seeking-Tao Sect could easily kill them without anyone noticing.
With the departure of the seven individuals, the mountaintop regained its peace, leaving only Jiang Yun and the people from the Seeking-Tao Sect.
Moreover, they believed that the escaped monks would tell their respective sects about the battle.
This might discourage the monks who wanted to continue pursuing the Jiang Yun whirlpool.
Sure enough, Jiang Yun and his group enjoyed another half year of peace.
During this half year, only disciples from the Seeking-Tao Sect came to the mountain, while disciples from other sects, even the Grand Medicine Sect, did not show up.
Currently, there were fifty-nine Seeking-Tao Sect disciples gathered around Jiang Yun!
Although there were some who hadn't arrived yet, when counting those who had died, the number of survivors would be no more than ten!
Regardless, finding a large group, especially being with Jiang Yun, made the Seeking-Tao Sect disciples extremely excited.
Having been in this world for half a year, they were always on high alert, on the edge of life and death every day, exhausted both mentally and physically.
Even though there were no evil spirits to kill or life-affirming objects to obtain by Jiang Yun's side, at least they were safe!
And during these six months, outside this mountain, the other sects also each had their own varying degrees of gains.
A total of thirteen people have formed vortexes!
Among them, the Samsara Sect, Grand Medicine Sect, and Ten Thousand Demons Cave each have two people, Ghostly Samsara Hell has one person, who is Gui Li.
The other sects combined have three people, while the Seeking-Tao Sect also has three people!
Aside from Jiang Yun and Unwounded, Fang Yuxuan also unexpectedly formed a vortex!
However, as more and more people form vortexes, life becomes even harder for those who haven't formed one.
Because the spirit energy is decreasing significantly, to the point where some people have to start using elixirs to replenish it!
If this trend continues, not only will they fail to form vortexes, but they may not even be able to survive.
Just then, the vague voice that had been missing for six months spoke again, "I forgot to tell you, each person who forms a vortex can take a certain number of people with them out of this realm, based on the size of their vortex."
"Also, if you feel like you don't have enough spirit energy, team up to kill the one with the vortex, which can turn the vortex back into spirit energy!"
As the voice fell, countless eyes immediately turned towards the huge vortex on the top of the distant mountain.
Sitting cross-legged under the vortex, Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "Half a year of peace is enough!"
Jiang Yun slowly opened his eyes, and in his eyes, there was a glimpse of endless... sea!
Chapter 398: Defeating Jiang Yun
After nine months of continuous absorption of pure spirit energy without rest, Jiang Yun finally completed the condensation of his greatest Blessed Land, the Boundary Sea, and stepped into the seventh level of Blessed Land.
The Hun Tian Blessed Land also elevated to the third level under the nourishment of the pure essence of the sun and moon.
In addition, his physical and spiritual bodies successfully integrated a trace of the earth's power into themselves.
Although he still couldn't use the earth's power extensively, he could at least use a little bit of it.
If given more time, Jiang Yun might be able to directly condense the Blessed Land from his physical body.
However, Jiang Yun knew he wouldn't have any more time!
The last words spoken by the mysterious person just pushed himself into the position of a public enemy again.
Even though he knew it was a complete lie, he believed others wouldn't think so.
Will joining forces to kill oneself make the vortex turn back into spirit qi?
After absorbing and condensing a huge amount of spirit qi to form the Boundary Sea in the past nine months, could it be separated from his body again?
Absolutely not!
Therefore, the purpose of the other party is simply to use other cultivators in this world to kill him!
"Who are you really?"
"Why are you planning to kill me so carefully?
"Since you can make your voice heard all over the world, your power must be strong. Why don't you come and kill me yourself?"
Three questions kept swirling in Jiang Yun's mind, even though he didn't have the answers yet, he wasn't worried.
Because he believed that as long as he could stay alive, the other party would eventually show up before him.
"Martial Brother Jiang, do you have any plans now?"
Tang Yi's voice rang in Jiang Yun's ears, it was clear he was also thinking about what was going to happen next.
Jiang Yun turned to look at the fifty-nine fellow disciples behind him, who were all watching him intently, and smiled slightly, "Didn't that person just say that the size of the vortex determines how many people I can bring out? "
"Let's assume what he said is true, as long as I don't die, I will naturally take all of you out of this realm with me!"
"As for those who want to kill me, I have a surprise in store for them!"
While speaking, Jiang Yun suddenly stood up and said, "Now, those who still want to follow me, let's go!"
"Go?"
Many disciples of the Seeking-Tao Sect were surprised, and Tang Yi asked, "Where are we going?"
"To find a suitable place as a battlefield!"
After saying that, Jiang Yun took the lead and walked towards the foot of the mountain. The rest of the people, without any hesitation, followed suit after exchanging a glance.
Although they all knew that Jiang Yun would likely face attacks from all other sects next, following him was no longer safe.
But at this moment, Jiang Yun was their only hope to leave this realm, so they had to keep following him.
Jiang Yun chose this mountain earlier to let his fellow sect members know his location.
Now, those who should have come from the same sect have arrived, and those who shouldn't come won't come, so he didn't need to stay here any longer, but to choose a battlefield.
Just as Jiang Yun and the people from Seeking-Tao Sect were leaving the mountaintop but hadn't reached the bottom yet, they suddenly heard a loud sound like "whoosh".
In the distance, there was a bright flame shooting up into the sky, exploding in the air and turning into a huge dragon as long as ten thousand feet.
The flames raging all over its body burned the gray mist in the sky to nothingness, just like the vortex above Jiang Yun's head. The dragon in the sky was very eye-catching.
As he watched the dragon, Jiang Yun squinted his eyes slightly and quietly said, "Huo Duming, have you finally lost control!"
