A blood-red sun hung high in the sky, the heavens shrouded in endless crimson, and even the wild wind that roamed freely within the canyon was firmly blocked outside.

"Move. Give him a quick end."

At Tuwen's command, the dozens of Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artists of the Great Jin Kingdom moved in unison.

They charged toward Jiang Qin below the canyon at extreme speed, each unleashing their strongest killing move. Faced with such a vast disparity in combat power, no matter how talented this child of Huaxia was—

today, he could only die here in regret!

In Tuwen's view, no matter how talented Jiang Qin was, against dozens of Martial Artists of the same realm attacking him, there was absolutely no chance of victory.

As long as they took care of this kid, then put on a show of attacking Hanyue City, their objective for this trip would be complete.

But he had only just turned and taken two steps when he stopped.

A blood-drenched head was tossed toward him, rolling to a stop at his feet.

Those wide-open eyes were filled with disbelief and terror.

As if he had encountered some unspeakable horror.

Tuwen turned around and looked once more toward the bottom of the canyon.

He saw that all the subordinates he had brought were now headless corpses, scattered on the ground, staining the already red-glowing earth an even deeper crimson.

Jiang Qin casually gripped one of their heads, tilted his head, and grinned:

"The people you brought seem a little weak—strength not even as good as that trash from the Church of All Gods. Or should I say, you Great Jin… no, more accurately, the Bajier Tribe—are all of you this useless?"

The Great Jin Kingdom was a nation composed of over a hundred tribes, each of which valued its honor greatly.

Under Jiang Qin's torrent of verbal humiliation, Tuwen's face darkened.

"I will make you regret saying those words."

A Dharma Image manifested from his body, and in the blink of an eye condensed into a hundred-meter golden Dharma Image Phantom, standing tall within this space.

The oppressive pressure belonging to a higher level bore down on Jiang Qin's heart.

There was no fear on his face—only a hunger for a strong foe in his eyes, along with a trace of resolve.

"Then… let's fight!"

The instant his words fell, Jiang Qin's figure had already vanished from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already behind the golden Dharma Image Phantom.

A fist imbued with the force of ten thousand jun was hurled forth.

Tuwen gathered the power of his Dharma Image behind his back.

Fist met Dharma Image, and shockwaves spread without cease.

Jiang Qin's face shifted slightly. A tremendous force transmitted through the Dharma Image sent him flying, crashing into the ground.

But Tuwen, too, under the force of that strike, was uncontrollably forced back two steps.

Shock surfaced on his face—he could not believe that this Town Guardian Special Envoy had forced him back with a single punch.

If Spirit Drawing and Spirit Sea were a pup and a hound, then the Divine Image Realm Realm was a great elephant that could easily trample that hound to death. And now this great elephant of his had actually been forced to retreat two steps.

Beyond the shock, what followed was excitement.

"Good!!!"

"I never thought Huaguo would send a peerless genius like you to garrison Hanyue City. Given your strength, given time, you'll likely become another supreme expert of Huaguo. I never imagined that I, Tuwen, would have the chance to cut down a peerless genius like you!"

He no longer held back—the full oppressive pressure of an early-stage Divine Image Realm Realm cultivator was unleashed.

He controlled the Dharma Image Phantom to throw a punch at Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin, who had yet to recover his senses, was blasted into the earth. Unable to withstand this force, his body buckled under the strain, emitting the sound of shattering bones.

Confidence surfaced on Tuwen's face.

Under this strike, this young man from Huaguo no longer had the strength to fight.

But very soon, the confidence on his face froze.

Because within the span of a few breaths, Jiang Qin had climbed out of the deep crater. His shredded clothes were soaked in fresh blood, but the exposed flesh bore not the slightest trace of injury, and his aura surged once more to its peak.

"Big brother, are you tickling me?"

"Looks like not only that bunch of trash from before, but you too are trash. I wonder if you're married—otherwise I'd really pity your wife."

The words fell.

The golden Dharma Image furiously raised its foot and stomped down without mercy.

Before Jiang Qin could dodge, a force bound him in place.

Though it lasted only an instant, by the time he tried to escape again it was already too late. He was savagely pinned to the ground by the golden Dharma Image, coughing up a great amount of fresh blood—blood that contained fragments of his organs.

Tuwen's face twisted into a savage snarl: "I refuse to believe that power healing your body is infinite. Every time you heal, I'll crush you again. Let you know that the might of the Divine Image Realm is not something an ant like you can challenge!"

With every subsequent strike, Tuwen would give Jiang Qin time to recover.

Once he had recovered, he would once again use the power of his Dharma Image to bind him, then ruthlessly stomp him back into the ground, destroying his organs.

Each time represented Jiang Qin brushing past death.

If not for 【Xuan Snake Life Return】, he would have died long ago.

But sometimes, being unable to die is itself a curse and a torment.

Gradually, this stretch of earth became soaked with Jiang Qin's blood, the blood mingling with the soil.

He did not know how much time had passed—thousands of brushes with death. Jiang Qin's recovery speed had not changed in the slightest, but he did not climb out of the ground. Instead, he stared blankly at the blood-colored sky, letting the Dharma Image's attacks descend upon him.

Xuan Snake Life Return could strip away Jiang Qin's broken body, but it could not take the shadow of death that perpetually loomed over his heart.

Jiang Qin's will was on the verge of collapse.

It was as if a little voice inside his head kept persuading him:

Stop getting up. You were never someone of this world to begin with—it isn't worth you fighting so desperately.

You're only at Spirit Sea Realm—how could you possibly be a match for someone at Divine Image Realm Realm?

To this world, you're nothing but an outsider. The Jiang Family values you only because of your talent, and the Academy's teachers and principal treat you specially for the same reason. Without that, even if you died a wretched death on the street, they wouldn't spare you a second glance. Growing stronger for these people, enduring 'death' over and over—it's simply not worth it!

Everything in this world is false.

Close your eyes and go to sleep… When you wake, you'll return to your original world, and never have to suffer so much pain and hardship again.

That's right… what is there in this world worth him fighting for with his life? Just go to sleep.

The moment this thought surfaced in Jiang Qin's mind, his freakish recovery ability was suppressed, as if he had truly reached the end of his rope.

"Haha, finally hit your limit, huh."

Tuwen noticed this sign and burst into wild laughter, a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.

Because this Huaguo kid was simply too freakish.

If he were in the same realm as a monster like this, he wouldn't even qualify as a stepping stone.

And now… he would erase this fear with his own hands!

"One final strike—die!"

Just as Tuwen raised his foot again to bring it down, several Flying Knives tore through the air from behind and came attacking.

The Flying Knives struck the same spot on the Dharma Image one after another, their force stacking continuously.

At last, the last Flying Knife broke through the Dharma Image's defense, its blade driving straight toward Tuwen's head…
