Chapter 845: Helplessness, Fall of Tai Cangzi
Editor: Henyee Translations
Boom! Boom!
The area resonated with terrifying explosions, stronger than before, causing even the domains of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to shake slightly.
Everyone inside could clearly see that Tai Cangzi and his companions from Qiankun Hall were in a dire situation.
However, no one offered help, fully aware of the strained relationship between Jiang Chengxuan and Tai Cangzi.
Expecting Jiang Chengxuan to intervene would be akin to morally coercing him, which he was clearly not inclined to succumb to.
This was evident from his previous exchange with Yun Zhenzi.
Jiang Chengxuan seemed indifferent, if not hopeful, for the demise of Tai Cangzi and his followers under the assault of the tendrils.
“Arghhhh!”
Suddenly, a female cultivator from Qiankun Hall was impaled by the tendrils, her face contorted in horror and desperation as she cried out to Tai Cangzi for help.
“Holy Son, save me!”
BOOM!
However, before Tai Cangzi could react, her body disintegrated into nothingness in the air.
This grim scene darkened the expressions of Tai Cangzi and Yun Zhenzi, their eyes filled with anger and coldness towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
However, the couple remained unfazed.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Once again, more powerful tendrils emerged from the Immortal Sea City, their aura noticeably stronger than before, instilling fear even in Tai Cangzi’s group. “Are you truly going to stand by and watch us die?”
Yun Zhenzi, unwilling to give up, shouted once more towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Yet, the response remained the same, which was an apology for their inability to help, suggesting that they seek assistance from their “Holy Son” instead.
This response only fueled Yun Zhenzi and his companions’ anger.
Had their Holy Son possessed the ability to intervene, he would have done so much earlier rather than wait until now.
As the tendrils drew closer, Yun Zhenzi and the others couldn’t hide the fear creeping into their expressions, realizing they couldn’t withstand this wave of attack.
Not even their Holy Son, Tai Cangzi, could resist.
Boom, boom, boom!
Ultimately, Yun Zhenzi and the others were engulfed by the tendrils.
Once the tendrils receded, all that remained was Tai Cangzi, barely clinging to life, while Yun Zhenzi and his companions had all perished.
This shocking development left everyone present deeply unsettled.
Swoosh!
At that critical moment, Tai Cangzi, who had been at the scene, suddenly made a move towards Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
This unexpected action caused a swift change in the expressions of the other cultivators.
What was Tai Cangzi attempting to do?
Could it be that he wanted to…?
It became apparent to everyone almost instantly.
Tai Cangzi was trying to redirect the tendrils’ focus onto Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, putting them in a position where they would have to choose whether to intervene.
Tai Cangzi’s maneuver was indeed ruthless, catching even Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan off guard.
However, a cold gleam quickly passed through Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes.
He had been lacking a legitimate reason to confront Tai Cangzi directly.
Now that Tai Cangzi had presented himself, it would be a missed opportunity not to act.
With this in mind, a cold smile briefly appeared on Jiang Chengxuan’s lips.
The next moment, a display of green, red, yellow, white, and blue radiance emerged behind him, emitting a terrifying aura that slowly spread from his being.
Everyone present sensed Jiang Chengxuan’s reaction and was taken aback.
What was Jiang Chengxuan planning to do?
Just as this thought crossed their minds, the five-colored divine light emitted by Jiang Chengxuan swept past Tai Cangzi.
Immediately after, a green saber light suddenly appeared in the air.
The Azure Emperor’s Heaven Slaying Saber.
There was a whoosh.
The saber beam slashed at Tai Cangzi’s body, sending him flying tens of thousands of kilometers.
Most importantly, Tai Cangzi was flying in the direction of the Immortal Sea City.
Coincidentally, at that moment, countless tendrils were emerging in the direction of the city, quickly sweeping towards Tai Cangzi.
“Jiang Chengxuan, you…”
Tai Cangzi was furious, his eyes wide with rage.
He had never anticipated that Jiang Chengxuan would counter his maneuver in such a manner.
Did Jiang Chengxuan not fear the repercussions from his sect for such an act?
Tai Cangzi was well aware of how much his sect valued him.
It seemed to him that Jiang Chengxuan was intent on mutual destruction.
Indeed.
In Tai Cangzi’s view, once his sect learned the truth and investigated the matter, they would certainly not spare Jiang Chengxuan, regardless of his status as a direct disciple of a Dao Integration Saint from the Haoran Sect.
Yet, Jiang Chengxuan still chose to do this.
“The Qiankun Hall will never let…”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Before Tai Cangzi could finish his statement, he was engulfed by the tendrils.
A chill went through everyone’s heart.
The Holy Son of Qiankun Hall, hailed as the most likely to ascend, had fallen just like that.
They could already envision the fury that Qiankun Hall would unleash in response.
Sure enough.
Tai Cangzi’s death was not directly caused by Jiang Chengxuan.
However, if one were to delve deeper, Jiang Chengxuan played a crucial role in the outcome, especially with the final blow that sent Tai Cangzi flying into the tendrils’ path, indirectly leading to his demise.
Many couldn’t help but worry for Jiang Chengxuan, including Elder Yuan Feng, Elder Chi Yan, Divine Lord Frostblade, and Yue Chanjuan.
As for Jiang Chengxuan himself, he seemed unconcerned about the repercussions of his actions.
He suddenly channeled his cultivation technique with great vigor.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At that moment, the domain he released expanded even further than before.
