Chapter 1708: Blood Slaughtering Thousands of Miles

With that, the purple sword in his hand swept across.

In an instant, more than a dozen half-giants were cut in half at the waist. Piercing screams and pained roars shook the heavens. Their arrogant expressions faded, and they plunged back into immense panic.

Jiang Fan killed even those belonging to Grand Sovereign Black Dragon without hesitation. No one could protect them now!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Back to Sky Remnant City! There's a Sage's formation there. We'll be safe if we get back!"

"Ah..."

Before the words could fully leave his mouth, the half-giant was smashed into pieces by Grand Sovereign Red Demon from a distance. Her expression turned grim. "You still want to go back? None of you will leave today!"

The other Manifestation Realm experts also took action, and half-giants exploded into blood mist across various parts of the battlefield. The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Starry Mountains and other sects were visibly excited to see the Manifestation Realm experts from Taicang Province arrive as reinforcements. As they watched the half-giants retreat like a tide, they all erupted with towering hatred.

"What are you waiting for? Let's kill all these beasts!"

At this moment, the humans of the Western Continent, their centuries of pent-up resentment unleashed, began a complete reckoning with the half-giants.

The half-giants immediately scattered and fled. Some cried out in grief and anger, feeling that as noble hunters, they shouldn't be reduced to being slaughtered. Others regretted not waiting for the Sages to return before conquering the entire continent. Some vowed fiercely that once they recovered, they would repay it tenfold, a hundredfold. Yet, none sincerely repented for their actions.

But before the Manifestation Realm experts, their escape was meaningless.

Just half a day later, Jiang Fan had killed his way from the Seven Cities of the Heavenly Abyss all the way to the Eastern Continent.

Poof—

The last half-giant of the Nine Aperture Golden Body cultivation level collapsed with a thud, unwilling to accept defeat. He glared at Jiang Fan with resentment. "Our Sages won't let you get away with this!"

Jiang Fan swept his sword, severing the half-giant's head. With this, all the Golden Body half-giants who participated in the rebellion were wiped out.

At this time, the Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Starry Mountains rushed over, their faces filled with excitement as they looked at their former object of admiration.

"Disciples of the Starry Mountains greet Venerable Xinghuo."

Back then, Jiang Fan was merely a peer who had traversed the Celestial Realm twice. Now, he was a renowned Manifestation Realm expert, influencing the events of the Central Lands. The change was so immense it felt like a dream to them. Jiang Fan looked at them, reminded of Fairy Ziwei, but did not see her among them. Had she not participated in this battle? He shook his head, dispelling distractions. Now was not the time to worry about Xu Yining.

He looked back. Half-giant corpses stretched for tens of thousands of miles, and blood stained the mountains, rivers, and earth. He couldn't help but feel disgusted. "The blood of these sinners has defiled the land of our Central Lands!"

"To the esteemed members of the Starry Mountains, I trouble you all to clear the battlefield, destroy their bodies, and not leave a single drop of their blood in the Central Lands. Furthermore, all spoils of war belong to you."

The disciples of the Starry Mountains and experts from other sects were all thrilled. These half-giants had occupied the Eastern Continent and regularly burned, killed, and plundered. They must have possessed countless resources. Since the Venerables didn't want them, they would all benefit.

"We respectfully obey Venerable Xinghuo's decree!"

Grand Sovereign Red Demon and the others also arrived. They exchanged glances with Jiang Fan, unspoken understanding passing between them, and then simultaneously teleported towards Sky Remnant City. Having come this far in slaughtering the half-giants, how could they stop now?

Sky Remnant City.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Grand Sovereign Black Dragon sat with his eyes closed. A drop of Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood floated before him, and as he absorbed it, the black python phantom behind him grew increasingly powerful. On either side, two Demon Monarchs were guarding him. In addition, there was even a Demonic Cultivator in the Manifestation Realm in the hall!

She was a scantily clad female Demonic Venerable with a half-smile on her face. Leaning back in her chair, she crossed her long, pale legs, twirling a strand of her flowing hair around her finger, looking somewhat bored. She was none other than the demonic woman who had once wanted to take Jiang Fan as her male concubine. Now, her cultivation had reached the Heaven-Human Second Decay. Not only had she successfully escaped Venerable Wuyu's pursuit, but she had also turned misfortune into a blessing, advancing her cultivation another level.

"Sigh, once Guixu Province becomes independent, it'll be hard for me to go to other provinces," she grumbled with a hint of resentment. "To find men, I'll have to cross the Dead Sea. It's quite troublesome. It's all Master's fault for making me deliver the Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood to you."

Grand Sovereign Black Dragon opened his eyes, putting away the Myriad Spirit Ancestral Blood. "With that lord as your backer, what do you have to worry about? With his protection, you could walk sideways even in Tian Province. Who would dare trouble you?"

The demonic woman still sighed. "Him? Heh heh. Thanks to my little darling, his existence has already been detected by the Sages of the Central Lands. Due to the ancient Giant War, the Central Lands Sages had no time to spare to search for him. Now that the Central Lands are peaceful, will the Sages still tolerate him? Soon, the Central Lands Sages will find a way to drag him out. He can barely protect himself; how can he still care about me?"

Grand Sovereign Black Dragon's face showed suspicion. Was there something wrong with the identity of this demonic woman's master? That person was a Sage of extremely high prestige, beloved by the Central Lands. He opened his mouth, about to ask, when he suddenly felt something and rushed out of the hall.

The demonic woman also sensed something, stood up abruptly, and teleported outside. She placed her hands on her forehead, gazing into the distance, and exclaimed in surprise and doubt, "I wasn't mistaken, was I? It's our Central Lands' Manifestation Realm experts! How did they get here?"

As she murmured, a snow-white giant tiger, shattering the sky, teleported all the way and quickly arrived above Sky Remnant City.

Boom!

Just as it was about to enter Sky Remnant City, an invisible formation bounced the white tiger back, and where it hit, ripples like flowing water spread out. Jiang Fan frowned slightly. There really was a Sage-level formation! It seemed Sage Cixin had established it for Sky Remnant City at great cost after he caused havoc here last time. That old dog truly went to great lengths for the half-giants!

"Wang Chongxiao?"

"Little darling!"

Grand Sovereign Black Dragon and the demonic woman spoke out in unison. The difference was, Black Dragon's face was full of anger, while the demonic woman's was full of pleasant surprise.

Venerable Zhenyan and Yue Mingzhu raised their eyebrows in unison, then discreetly positioned themselves one on each side, sandwiching Jiang Fan between them.

Yue Mingzhu looked at the demonic woman's revealing attire. "Do I have a new sister now?"

Jiang Fan's mouth twitched. "Am I really that prone to flirting and causing trouble?"

Yue Mingzhu and Venerable Zhenyan rolled their eyes at Jiang Fan simultaneously.

Jiang Fan was speechless. He shook his head and said, "She's a traitor among the demonic cultivators of the Great Barren Province. She's not exactly a friend, but she can't be called an enemy either." When he was attacked by the two-star Giant King, the demonic woman had protected him along with Green Pearl and Zhenyan. He remembered this favor.

He looked at the invisible barrier around Sky Remnant City, then looked around at everyone and said, "Do any of you have a way to break this formation?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Venerable Heart Demon said, "This is a formation laid by a Sage; it must contain Sage power. How could we break it? If the Grand Sovereigns were here, perhaps there would be a way. They all possess Sage-level artifacts to varying degrees."

Jiang Fan pondered. He could forcefully break the formation using the nine-colored crystal, but it would be too much of a loss just for some half-giant abominations.

"Heh heh heh, little darling, you want to break the formation?" The demonic woman crossed her arms, cupping her ample breasts, and said with a smile, "Why bother with so much trouble? If you become my male concubine, I'll help you kill all the half-giants."
