Chapter 1022: A Chance Encounter

He Jian let out a soft exclamation. The spiritual Qi in his Dantian Lake surged and merged with his mental power. Then, it crushed toward Turbid’s location. Ou Yangming had told him the location of this foreign race through voice transmission. The pressure was like an ocean. Consequently, Turbid’s body quickly dispersed, turning into countless poisonous insects that wanted to merge into the yellow sand. Nonetheless, the moment it flew out, its body seemed to be fixed in mid-air by an invisible force.

Even the world in Turbid’s eyes turned black and white, turning into a vortex that kept collapsing and contracting toward the middle. The vortex kept spinning, turning into an unparalleled gale that seemed to want to suck its body in. The poisonous insects gathered again uncontrollably. It was as if time had reversed, and none of them were able to escape from the vortex.

With a crack, they were directly crushed into powder by the tyrannical pressure.

The Dead Turbidity, which had the strongest survival ability in the Big Ruins, was dead!

Silence—dead silence. Only the sound of wind could be heard within the fog vortex.

The few remaining Blood Horned Dragons were pale, and cold sweat dripped down. They looked at He Jian as if they were looking at a devil, and every pore on their bodies emitted cold air.

Their minds were blank and muddled. Even the Venerable Blood Horned Dragon could not block a single move from him, so how could they do it?

He Jian pointed 3 fingers in the air. The Meridian Sword, the Chronicle, and the Blood Helianthus let out light cries and circled above his head. With a whooshing sound, they charged toward the remaining Blood Horned Dragons. These 3 longswords seemed to transcend space. Every time the longswords cut through the air, a Blood Horned Dragon would be lying in a pool of blood. Even killing a top-grade Blood Horned Dragon was like slaughtering a dog. There was not a single Blood Horned Dragon that could block the swords.

The strength of He Jian was evident from this alone.

“Ghost! He’s a devil! Run—we have to run…” A Blood Horned Dragon’s eyes lost focus as it roared loudly. It had long been scared out of its wits.

As soon as its voice sounded, “Buzz…” A blood-red light flashed and drew a stunning arc, directly passing through its heart. Spiritual Qi exploded in its body.

The Blood Horned Dragon’s eyes dimmed, and blood trickled out of the corner of its mouth. With a bang, it fell into the fog.

He Jian used his spirit to control his swords like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. In just 2 or 3 breaths, all the Blood Horned Dragons had died. This space seemed to become hell on earth. A strong, unresolvable smell of blood drifted in all directions.

He pressed his right upper middle finger in the air, and the 3 swords circled around his head before returning to the sword case on their own.

Seeing this, Ou Yangming could not help but think, ‘When the god of swords drew his sword, you’ve already lost.’

Jiang Yingrong and Zang Jian were also shocked. At the same time, they muttered in their hearts, ‘Is this the strength of one who overcomes 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts? Isn’t it a little scary?’

Nonetheless, Jiang Yingrong was more delighted. After all, He Jian was the Guardian Elder of the Jiang family, which would now gain another Venerable One. This was enough to break the original balance. After stepping into the Venerable One realm, the elder’s Dantian Lake had turned into a lake, which was a qualitative change. As such, the tactic of the human sea would be useless. A Venerable One’s spiritual Qi was so dense that it was difficult to describe. One could also borrow the universe’s power. It could be said that every Venerable One was an existence that was like a strategic resource.

Ou Yangming waved his sleeve and walked forward. He cupped his hands and smiled. “Senior He, you’re blessed with a lot of good fortune. Congratulations on taking the big leap.”

He Jian did not put on the airs of a Venerable One. He lifted his sword case and did a fist salutation. “Brother Yu, I won’t say much. I’ll remember this favor of attaining the path. If you need me to do anything, just tell me. I won’t refuse even if I die.” He was being sincere. After meeting Ou Yangming, his life trajectory had undergone a huge change. Not only did he restore his foundation, but he had also passed 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts—6 Heavenly Thunderbolts!

If not for the Earthly Formation Boards and the Thunderbolt Resistant Suit, even if he wanted to transcend the 6 Heavenly Thunderbolts, the probability of him dying would be extremely high.

Moreover, this was the grace of attaining the path, hence he had no choice but to repay it.

“Senior He, you’re exaggerating…” Ou Yangming waved his hand with a casual expression. Even so, he did not dodge the salutation. He also knew this favor was
