Chapter 1707: 妖族

However, just as the runes were about to detonate, a red line appeared without warning on the bodies of several Golden Body Realm half-giants who had surrounded her. The lines varied, some high on the chest, others low on the neck, as if a sharp object had simultaneously sliced through their bodies. Immediately, their bodies split into two, falling to the ground with a thud. Those decapitated died instantly, while those severed at the chest thrashed on the ground, their upper bodies rolling as they let out horrific wails. Blood and internal organs gushed out, drenching Immortal Ziwei.

She looked up to see a man and a woman flying overhead, holding hands. The young woman was beautiful and held a dark, silken thread. The young man was handsome and slender; he held the woman's hand tightly, silently channeling Soul Transformation power into her, allowing her silken threads to unleash immense power.

Immortal Ziwei was stunned. Jiang Fan, Yue Mingzhu. At that moment, Jiang Fan glanced at her, but she was covered in so much blood and internal organs that her form was unrecognizable. Jiang Fan withdrew his gaze and flew past, still holding Yue Mingzhu's hand. Immortal Ziwei fell silent, her eyes filled with an unidentifiable emotion. Had even Yue Mingzhu gotten together with Jiang Fan? She gave a self-deprecating smile. Her chest ached, yet there was also a sense of relief. It was good that Jiang Fan hadn't recognized her.

Trembling, she slowly got up, clutching her injured chest. She turned to watch Jiang Fan and Yue Mingzhu wreak havoc, slaughtering their enemies. After a long moment, she limped away into the distance, slowly disappearing into an uninhabited corner. Jiang Fan did not notice. He continued to walk through the battlefield with Yue Mingzhu, helping her kill one half-giant after another.

There were over two thousand Golden Body Realm half-giants in Sky Legacy City, more than the total number in the entire Great Cangzhou combined. "My Central Lands have truly bred so many ungrateful creatures," Jiang Fan thought. He remembered the despair of Great Cangzhou during its battle against the Black Sun Dynasty, when countless cultivators, even those with eight and nine apertures, fought bravely like moths to a flame, desperately trying to secure a glimmer of hope. Now, looking at this group of ingrates slaughtering their own people, his hatred for them surpassed even that for the ancient giants!

"Flawless Domain!" He unleashed a domain that swept across the area. Any injured half-giant immediately exploded into a mist of blood.

"Venerable Starlight, don't misunderstand, we are all on your side!" a wounded half-giant on the ground cried out in terror. Jiang Fan replied with disgust, "Who said I was on your side?" *Pfft* — the sword rose, and a head fell, tainted blood splashing. "Jiang Fan! If we've done anything wrong, the Benevolent Sage will punish us. It's not your place to—" *Pfft* — another head flew into the air. "Don't kill me! I'll leave Sky Legacy City and join your Central Lands human faction..." *Pfft*! Yet another head soared. Jiang Fan said coldly, "Only hell is fit for you beasts!"

As the Soul Transformation Realm cultivators entered the battlefield and began slaughtering the half-giants, the half-giant army, who had been reveling in their massacre, finally realized something was amiss. "It's human Soul Transformation Venerables!" "How... how did they get here? Weren't all the provincial-level teleportation arrays sealed?" Panic spread through the half-giant army; the continuous, terrifying screams erupting around them made their hearts pound.

Just then, the aura of a Demon Lord suddenly erupted from a nearby corner. "Fellow Daoists, please show mercy!" Jiang Fan and the others stopped their attacks, looking with surprise at the Soul Transformation Realm Demon Lord who had suddenly appeared.

Demon Lord Icefire scrutinized the newcomer, then asked in a deep voice, "Are you from the Myriad Demon Great Province?" "What are you doing here?" Seeing that there were also demons among their opponents, the newly appeared Demon Lord slightly relaxed. He bowed and said, "I am Hun Feng from the Myriad Demon Great Province. My lord is Venerable Black Dragon. Currently, we are guests in Sky Legacy City."

With the support of a Demon Lord, the half-giants' morale stabilized. They arrogantly stared at Jiang Fan and the others, their eyes filled with defiance. "Do they really think Sky Legacy City is easy to bully?" "They didn't even consider why our City Lord would take away all the Dharma Idol Realm half-giants." "You didn't expect us to have distinguished guests stationed in Sky Legacy City, did you?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions subtly changed. Venerable Black Dragon? He was actually in Sky Legacy City? Jiang Fan also showed surprise; no wonder Venerable Black Dragon hadn't been seen throughout the battle until now. It turned out he had led his trusted followers and hidden in Sky Legacy City!

With his hands clasped behind his back, Hun Feng calmly said, "Everyone, let them resolve the matters of Guixu Province themselves. Why should we Venerables interfere?" "I ask you all to give me a little face and not make trouble for these poor half-giants." Everyone looked at Jiang Fan. They wouldn't hesitate to kill half-giants, but Venerable Black Dragon and the other Demon Lords were pure Central Lands beings. How should they be treated?

Jiang Fan raised a hand, and three supreme spiritual swords rotated before him, his expression indifferent. "Give you face, and don't make trouble for these poor half-giants, is that it?" With that said, the three spiritual swords suddenly converged into a divine rainbow and mercilessly struck.

Hun Feng was caught off guard and instantly teleported, but the terrifying divine rainbow still severed his entire arm. In an instant, Soul Transformation essence blood splattered. He reappeared, both shocked and enraged, crying out in pain, "Are you mad? I was just asking for mercy! If you didn't agree, that's fine, but why attack me?"

Jiang Fan said coldly, "When the humans of the Western Continent were being unilaterally slaughtered by the half-giants, why didn't you plead for mercy on their behalf?" "Now that the half-giants are in trouble, you suddenly jump out pretending to be a good person?" Venerable Black Dragon and his group opened the interlayer world for the sake of the Calamity-Crossing Black Lotus seeds, almost destroying the entire Myriad Demon Great Province. Now, they are secretly protecting the half-giants as they occupy the entire Guixu Province, allowing them to massacre the humans led by Star Cluster Mountain. And now they shamelessly pretend to be neutral, asking for respect?

Venerable Red Devil sneered, "Young Jiang is right. Who do you think you are, to deserve our respect?" "Today, the half-giants must die!"

Hun Feng's face was filled with rage, but facing the murderous gazes of the Soul Transformation Venerables, how could he dare to oppose them? He glanced at the half-giant army and gritted his teeth, "Alright! I'll no longer interfere in their affairs!" "You handle yourselves!" He had to hurry back for reinforcements; no matter what, he had to protect the half-giants. Sky Legacy City was the last refuge for these demon traitors, and it could not be destroyed!

Unexpectedly, a flash of three-colored light suddenly appeared before him, and the terrifying divine rainbow struck again. This time, he couldn't dodge and was split into two by a single strike of the divine rainbow. "Ah!" Amidst his scream, his soul flew out, a mix of shock and rage. "I was already leaving, and you still tried to kill me!"

Jiang Fan responded with an utterly cold gaze. "Those who shelter half-giants are equally guilty!" "Soul Shattering Spike!" A spike shot from his brow, striking the opponent.

Hun Feng's expression drastically changed; his soul body hastily retreated into the void, but it was immediately struck by the Soul Shattering Spike, perishing on the spot. His terrified cries faintly echoed from the void: "Venerable Black Dragon, save me quickly..." As the sound abruptly ceased, a peerless expert of the Demon Lord Realm fell instantly.

Jiang Fan's gaze slowly shifted to the half-giants on the ground, his voice like an icy whisper from hell, utterly chilling. "Today, no one can save you!" "I said so!"
