Chapter 251
"Divine force manifestation?" Their eyes almost popped out. They absolutely hadn't mistaken what they saw. Their attacks were all dissolved into nihility by the thunder-flame-like aura covering Jiang Xiu's body. This definitely wasn't a manifestation of inner strength and also wasn't a magic spell.
"How is this possible?" Korea's Demigod cried out in alarm.
The other Demigods were all stunned as well.
Divine force manifestation was the same as inner strength manifestation but this was only something that existed in theory. Just like how the latter could be accomplished by accumulating inner strength to the peak, the former could also be achieved similarly.
Jiang Luoxia hadn't even become a Demigod for long but had already achieved the legendary divine force manifestation.
"W-What deification form have you reached?"
It was already quite difficult for Korea's Demigod to stay calm. According to what he knew, it wasn't possible to manifest divine force even after reaching the 4th form. If divine force manifestation were compared to an entirely filled cup of water, currently, his strength wasn't even equivalent to a cup with a single drop of water. It was impossible for him to stay unperturbed when facing such a massive disparity in strength.
"Who cares which form he has achieved. Kill him!"
One of the Demigods yelled angrily. His body soared up, breaking out with an intense light as if he were the incarnation of the Sun. Followed by a rumble, he slashed at Jiang Xiu with the sword in his hand.
He was known as the Son of Sun, Swordmaster Alpha.
"All of you, don't hold back! Let's attack together!"
Jiang Xiu smirked in response. He floated up to the sky, followed by a silver light flickering on his forehead. An astonishing amount of saber intent appeared in the area. He formed a hand seal to control it, making the countless golden glyphs lights gather and form a void blade similar to the saber pill.
"Behead!"
The silvery light increased sharply as if it desired to cut open the skies as it zoomed ahead.
Sword Intent Manifestation Arts, Supreme Conqueror!
Before becoming a God, Jiang Xiu couldn't release saber intent, but now, after gaining access to divine intent, he could draw power from the void and form a blade from it using manifestation arts. Even a God would have to withdraw in the face of its strength, let alone a mere Demigod of the 3rd form.
"AAA-!"
Son of Sun, Swordmaster Alpha's sinister expression turned into a frightened one. He couldn't even scream before the famous Sun God Sword of Europe got cut into two pieces, followed by the same happening to him, after which his body exploded.
He was destroyed as if he were tofu!
"ALPHA!"
A few of the Demigods were blinded by rage. These people had gone through fire and water with him. Since they weren't able to become a God, they set out to conquest together and spent over 100 years with each other's company. They clenched their jaws hard with hate as they saw Alpha get killed so cruelly.
"Angry Slaying Punch!"
A short European man suddenly soared to the skies, urging all the inner breath inside his body, resulting in a rattling sound from it as strength filled him. He punched out just like an angry dragon soaring towards the sky, his fist flashing with a pale light which had faintly taken the form of a sharp dagger.
"A superb fist style which condenses divine force into the shape of a dagger. This move isn't that far from divine force manifestation, right? It should be enough to withstand his attack." Long Zaizong exclaimed.
"King of Assassinations, kill him!"
Korea's Demigod roared with bloodshot eyes.
"Brothers, aid him!"
The King of Assassinations had enough confidence in his Angry Slaying Punch. The reason for this confidence was that even China's past Demigod representative, Si Wuxie, couldn't withstand more than a few blows from his powerful fist style. Moreover, there were many Demigods beside him lying in wait to attack.
Jiang Xiu spoke out dully, "Behead again!"
His indifferent eyes had no trace of emotions. The shadow blade zapped past, diffusing saber intent around it, taking a proper form. The air chirred wherever it passed by, making it seem as if the void was being split open. The combination of light and shadow seemed to displace the void.
Splitch!
The King of Assassination was sliced from head to toe perfectly as if he were made of tofu. At that moment, only a ray of light was left behind in his mind.
"AAAAHH!"
The King of Assassination could only look one as his body was sliced into two halves. He immediately issued an alarmed scream. "MY BODY," before falling from the sky, becoming deader than dead.
Everyone was shocked!
Jiang Xiu had acted twice, and each slash had killed a Demigod. It was as if he were chopping vegetables. Under his saber light, Demigods were no stronger than ants.
Even the King of Assassination couldn't endure a single hit… Terrifying, it was really too terrifying.
The Demigods of Heaven's Gate were filled with fear. They came to an agreement to act together and make a move at the right opportunity. None of them were idiots. They clearly understood now that whoever went up was only walking to their death.
China's No.1 Demigod was that powerful!
China's satellite obtained the feed of Heaven's Gate's Holy Land through a link-up signal from Gaulle and the personnel inside the satellite were utterly dumbfounded by what they saw.
"I-Is he even human?"
The highest administrative officer gave the command, "Send the video feed to our country immediately and also set up a connection with the Department of Defense."
An elderly officer appeared on the video from China's Department of Defense, "Maintain the satellite signal properly, no matter what happens, don't allow the feed to cut off."
The officer replied, "As we are getting the signal from Gaulle, what if they…"
Before he could finish speaking, that elderly Chinese man countered in a harsh tone, "The situation is different this time. Use our satellite system to look over Heaven's Gate's Holy Land directly. I'll handle the diplomatic pressure which arises due to this."
"Understood!"
He continued speaking, "Also notify the special agents at Gaulle to assist Adviser Jiang with all their strength. No matter what price they have to pay, they must ensure his safe return to our country."
Heaven's Gate's Holy Land had their own defense satellite as well as shielding equipment. Calls couldn't get through inside, and it was only possible to link to the satellite directly.
Countless experts had begun to flock inside at this moment. An Long was also within the crowd. He was currently disguised as an elderly European man. All he could see were dead bodies of Heaven's Gate's disciples lying on the ground, some even headless. The land was dyed in blood and mountains of corpses filled the area, giving it the look of a battlefield overrun by an Asura.
"T-They were all killed by Jiang Luoxia single-handedly?"
The count of dead bodies reached over a thousand as he went deeper and there were even many famous experts of Europe among them, yet they were killed ruthlessly as if they were tiny bandits, filled with melancholy as they died so shamefully.
These so-called European experts and bigshots were just a joke in front of Jiang Luoxia.
"This will set a deep hatred with Heaven's Gate."
"They won't rest until one of them perishes."
An Long's expression was solemn. Even for him, it was rare to see someone as ruthless and decisive as Jiang Luoxia, there was no mercy shown at all. The Europeans beside him were entirely dumbfounded as well.
"Oh my God! Did a huge war happen here?"
In Europe, the death of a ten to a hundred people due to a terrorist attack was already astonishing, and the death count on this grass mountain had already reached a thousand people. It was enough to be considered a mid-scale war in Europe.
Kill one, and you become a sinner, kill ten, and you become a hero, kill a hundred and… you become a battle god!
"Behead!"
Lightning flashed inside Jiang Xiu's eyes, following which he raised his hands up as if he were holding sabers in them. There was no shape of saber present there, but when his hands fell downwards, everyone could see huge 30 m saber light descend from the skies. The saber light flickered, and everything seemed to squeeze in at its saber edge, forming a vacuum where formless saber intent wreaked havoc.
The void was full of saber intent, not a single inch left uncovered.
Saber Domain!
BOOOOMMM!
Every part of the saber intent was a formless edge. The endless saber intent burst forth, and those edges sparkled with light, releasing a terrifying destructive force which decimated the entire place, devastating everything they touched inside the hemispherical shape the domain took the form of.
"Evade quickly!"
Jiang Xiu spoke out in a soft tone, "Chapter One of the Soul Scripture - Arcane Saber Light Style, destroy the spirit in an instant; it is all but a delusion!"
"KILL! KILL! KILL!"
BOOM!
As the Saber Domain's saber intent's devastation reached an extreme point, it all exploded with a bang. No matter whether it was the castle, the rocks, the trees, or the lawn, all if it was utterly shredded. As for the Demigods inside it, they wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves as the countless saber edges formed from the saber intent pierced into their body, sending their limbs flying away in the sky in an instant, blood splashing all over.
Descend, the nine mythical arts, cleanse the heavens, a thousand years of karma, an artless heart yet romantic.
A ray of light zoomed past, and Jiang Xiu had arrived there at high speed in front of Korea's Demigod who had rushed out from the light. The Demigod was terrified out of his wits when he saw Jiang Luoxia's long hair float with lighting flashing inside his eyes. "Old Man Lee, hand over your life."
"You…"
Korea's Demigod was terror-stricken. Jiang Xiu's strength was too shocking. This was no magic spell or martial arts. Its power was simply unsurpassable.
Shplort!
Before he could even react, he felt a cold sensation at his throat. It was as if the wind was blowing inside his throat from there and only then did he realize that his throat might've been cut.
The fear in his eyes slowly turned into rancor, but immediately after that, that rancor turned into remorse. He covered his throat with his hand, coughing blood as he spoke out with a distorted voice, "Lee Jae-Ki, just what kind of an enemy have you brought upon my Lee family?"
