Chapter 338: Underestimating the Wrong Man
Chapter 338: Underestimating the Wrong Man
Mo Hao’s brows drew together. Something about this man felt... off. A strange sense of unease stirred in his chest, though he couldn’t quite place why.
"Greetings, My Lord!" Zhu Zhihai and the others bowed in perfect sync, their faces filled with deep respect.
But beneath that reverence, doubts lurked.
Jiang Chen was the strongest figure on the Immortal Martial Continent. He had already slain two Transcendence realm demons. But now, he was up against multiple Transcendence realm cultivators at once. Could even he handle this?
"These people call you My Lord? So, you’re the leader of the Immortal Martial Continent?" Shao Ji’s gaze swept over Jiang Chen, his lips curling slightly as if suppressing a laugh. A flicker of disdain flashed in his eyes—quick, but unmistakable.
This was the great leader of the Immortal Martial Continent? Just a young man at the Early-stage Transcendence realm?
Ridiculous.@@@@
Shao Ji had once worried about the strength of the Immortal Martial Continent. But now? Seeing their so-called strongest warrior in the flesh, all those concerns felt like a joke.
How had a continent led by someone like this managed to fend off the Myriad Demons Continent?
Jiang Chen, however, remained calm. His gaze swept over the crowd as he spoke.
"That’s right. I’m Jiang Chen," he said without a hint of hesitation. "The number one genius, top expert, and leader of the entire Immortal Martial Continent."
The reaction was immediate—cold sneers spread across Shao Ji and his companions’ faces.
An Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivator, talking like he ruled the heavens? How ridiculous.
"Hahaha!" Shao Ji let out a hearty laugh, folding his hands in front of him as he sized up Jiang Chen. "So you’re the famous Jiang Chen—the strongest warrior of the Immortal Martial Continent."
He smirked. "If the chance arises, we’d love to see just how skilled you really are."
"But for now, we have a more pressing matter—getting rid of the troublemaker in our midst. I trust you can provide us with detailed information on both the Immortal Martial Continent and the demon race?" His tone was smooth, almost polite. But the weight behind his words made it clear—he wasn’t asking, he was expecting.
"Once we deal with Mo Hao, I’m sure you’ll have everything ready for us," he added, as if Jiang Chen were nothing more than a servant.
With the power they held, the four of them could easily crush the entire Immortal Martial Continent. To them, Jiang Chen was insignificant.
And yet—what happened next caught everyone off guard.
"A troublemaker?" Jiang Chen said, his voice steady, his expression unreadable. "That’s not quite how I see it."
"The Immortal Martial Continent is already in crisis, with the demon race at our doorstep. We appreciate any aid from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star."
"But if your purpose here is to trample the weak and stir up conflict on my land, I can’t let that slide."
Jiang Chen stood his ground, his expression sharp, his aura unshaken. The sheer confidence in his stance only irritated Shao Ji and his companions further. Their patience snapped, their killing intent flaring to its peak.
"Jiang Chen, seriously, you don’t need to do this," Mo Hao said, his brows furrowed.
"I can handle them myself!" He might have had his doubts about Jiang Chen before, but he had no intention of dragging him into a fight he might not survive.
"There’s no need to act tough," Jiang Chen replied, shaking his head.
"These people have no shame—they slaughter fellow cultivators without a second thought. That’s not something I can ignore. Let me deal with them." His voice carried unshakable determination.
"Ahahahaha!" One of Shao Ji’s companions burst into laughter. "Did you hear that? He actually thinks he can take us on!"
"Unbelievable! An Early-stage Transcendence realm cultivator talking like he can kill the four of us? This has to be a joke!"
"I’d love to see how someone from the Immortal Martial Continent, barely at the Early-stage Transcendence realm, even hopes to lay a scratch on us!"
Shao Ji and his allies laughed openly, their eyes full of ridicule as they looked at Jiang Chen like he was an ignorant fool.
Forget it, Mo Hao thought, his expression darkening. There’s no point worrying about him anymore.
The effects of the pill won’t last forever—I need to strike now!

Just as he was about to make his move, a thunderous roar shook the battlefield.
"A bunch of worthless scum! I’ll cut you all down!" Jiang Chen’s voice boomed like a war drum.
Before anyone could react, he attacked first.
His fists clenched, then shot up high before slamming downward with terrifying force!
In that instant, an overwhelming aura exploded from him—the unmistakable power of a Late-stage Transcendence realm cultivator!
The air trembled as different laws of the Great Dao swirled around him, crackling like a storm. Among them, the Sword Dao was the sharpest, the most dangerous—deadly and unstoppable.
And then, out of nowhere, the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword appeared in his grasp, radiating a brilliance that cut through the sky!
Without hesitation, he unleashed a terrifying fusion of two supreme techniques—Falling Sun Nine Heavens Mystic Art and Death Attraction Nine Tribulations Sword Technique.
Power surged through him like an unrelenting tidal wave, channeling straight into the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword.
With a single slash, a sword light beyond the limits of a Late-stage Transcendence realm erupted, engulfing Shao Ji and his companions in an instant!
