Chapter 240: Punching Through Sin Domain

Facing a ruthless person who could unleash his full power and slash for half a day, no one remained calm.

Even Nan Wuyang and the others felt uneasy watching him. How on earth did this guy train?

Just how deep was the Star Power within his body?

Even they would feel somewhat exhausted after slashing with all their might for three hours.

But Jiang Changkong, after half a day, was still full of energy, his Star Power abundant!

Another two hours passed, and the cracks expanded further. Jiang Changkong continued to swing his blade.

The people inside the Protective Shield felt as if they were going insane.

The surrounding earth had been carved into a pit several thousand meters deep by this guy.

And they were like a pillar standing in the middle of that deep pit.

This pillar was also sinking continuously.

High-level Protective Shields offered protection to the ground beneath as well, but if it went too deep, even they couldn’t hold up.

Blade rays fell one after another. Jiang Changkong was like an inexhaustible mecha, swinging his blade relentlessly.

Another three hours passed, and cracks covered two-thirds of the shield.

Jiang Changkong remained full of energy—in fact, he even seemed a bit excited?

“Jiang Changkong, let’s call it quits. Let’s pretend nothing ever happened,” a Martial Artist cried out in panic. If this continued, Jiang Changkong might really break the Protective Shield first.

“Let’s stop. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways,” a prodigy couldn’t take it anymore either.

Jin Chen remained silent. At this point, any words would be meaningless.

If Jiang Changkong could still hold on, they were doomed!

As for whether he couldn’t hold on?

He didn’t dare to guarantee it, nor did he dare to gamble, and no one would gamble with him.

“Call it quits? Clean your necks and wait to die!”

Jiang Changkong sneered and unleashed another blade ray.

You were the ones who attacked first, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!

If you want to kill me, then I’ll send all of you to your graves!

Professor Yun had told him: if you’re going to do it, do it thoroughly and cleanly, leaving no loose ends.

He couldn’t kill all the prodigies in the Sin Domain, but he wouldn’t spare those who had provoked him.

The Star Stones from these hundred or so people would be enough for him to master two more martial arts techniques.

With success so close at hand, would he give up?

Nan Wuyang and the others watched from afar, not intervening.

They weren’t saints, and they had ties with Jiang Changkong. Why would they help Jin Chen and the others?

Another blade ray fell, the piercing cracking sound like a death knell, driving the Martial Artists inside to madness.

Some with weaker mental fortitude screamed outright.

Another two hours passed, the blazing sun in the sky replaced by the moon, and cracks nearly covered the entire Protective Shield.

Jiang Changkong felt a surge of joy. The closer the shield was to breaking, the faster it cracked.

It was like a porcelain bowl—the more cracks it had, the more fragile it became.

“Jiang Changkong, I’m willing to hand over my Sin Token and Star Stones. Please spare me.”

“I’m willing too. This was all Jin Chen’s idea. It had nothing to do with us.”

“We were forced…”

“You bastards! You agreed to stand together, and now you’re turning on us?”

Jin Chen’s expression twisted with rage as he roared viciously, “The shield isn’t broken yet! Even if it breaks, it’s been a whole day. How much strength does he have left?”

“Jiang Changkong won’t spare us. If the shield really breaks, we’ll fight him to the death!”

Three prodigies said grimly.

Boom—crack!

As soon as the words were spoken, cracks spread across the entire shield, and with the descent of the Sunset Blade—

The high-level Protective Shield shattered!

“It really broke. This madman,” Nan Wuyang said in horror.

“A whole day, an entire day,” Heng Qingyue and the others exclaimed in awe.

“Jiang Changkong… he shouldn’t have come.”

The other prodigies had also arrived, watching the scene with faces so dark they could drip water.

This was no prodigy—this was a monster, a demon.

Why had they let him in?

They should have collectively resisted Jiang Changkong!

“Kill him! He’s been fighting for a day. If we fight to the death, we can still survive!”

Jin Chen roared, unleashing his Star Power first.

“Blazing Sun.”

Jiang Changkong flicked his finger, and a blazing sun hung high in the sky, releasing boundless blade radiance.

The blade radiance fell like sunlight.

It enveloped the entire area, cleansing everything in its path!

Jiang Changkong descended through the air, the Sunset Blade flashing like a blinding streak of blood as it swept across Jin Chen’s throat.

“You…”

Jin Chen stared at him in disbelief, clutching his throat as blood spurted out. How was this possible?

After fighting for an entire day, Jiang Changkong still possessed such strength?

“I said I’d kill you first.”

Jiang Changkong sneered coldly, then turned to look at the other three prodigies.

“You… don’t come any closer…”

The three prodigies were terrified, retreating step by step, their faces unable to conceal their panic.

“High-level Protective Shield, how did you bring it in?” Jiang Changkong asked the three calmly.

“N-no idea, that was Jin Chen’s. You’ve already killed him.”

“If you don’t know, then you’re useless.”

Jiang Changkong sighed softly. Sword radiance rose as he transformed into a golden light, the Sunset Blade sweeping across the throats of the three.

“I… I know! Don’t kill me, don’t kill me!”

A Martial Artist hurriedly cried out.

“You know?” Jiang Changkong waved his hand, and the descending blade radiance dissipated. “Speak.”

The Martial Artist said fearfully, “I-it wasn’t actually Jin Chen who brought it in. S-someone gave it to him.”

“Someone gave it to him?” Jiang Changkong frowned. “Someone from the Sin Domain?”

“Y-yes, from the Sin Domain. I don’t know who specifically. That person gave him the Protective Shield with the goal of killing you and all the other prodigies.”

“What?”

Nan Wuyang and the others abruptly stood up. Though they were far away, as Star Spirit Peak experts, they could clearly hear the man’s words.

Jiang Changkong took the man’s Spatial Equipment and tossed it to Nan Wuyang. “Hand this person over to you.”

Blade radiance engulfed everything, leaving no one else who knew the information.

All of them fought desperately for survival, but unfortunately, they couldn’t even withstand the falling blade radiance.

Star Power submerged everything, the sounds gradually fading until all dissipated, leaving only equipment remnants and the blazing sun hanging high.

Jiang Changkong collected their Spatial Equipment. Though these people hadn’t gained much, some had made modest gains.

Jin Chen alone had three Sin Tokens.

In total, there were 110 people, 125 Sin Tokens, and 11 million Star Stones.

Besides these, there were also clothes, potions, and a large pile of sixth-tier weapons.

Jiang Changkong soared through the air and arrived beside Nan Wuyang, handing him the longsword. “Thank you for the weapon. Here are ten Sin Tokens for you.”

This weapon provided him with a slight boost. At his level of strength, even a slight boost was of great help.

These ten Sin Tokens were also a gesture of goodwill toward the Nan family.

“We’ve questioned him. Jin Chen met someone from the Sin Domain and made a deal with them,” Nan Wuyang said, accepting the Sin Tokens.

“Mm, I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll take my leave first,” Jiang Changkong said calmly.

“Changkong, wait,” Nan Wuyang quickly called out to him.

“What is it?” Jiang Changkong paused.

“This is the situation: the Sin Domain has changed. We don’t know where they’re hiding or how many dangers lie ahead. I think it’s safer to stick together,” Nan Wuyang said.

Even high-level Protective Shields have appeared. Without Jiang Changkong by his side, it seemed… somewhat lacking in security?

“Tomorrow, I’ll come find you all, and together we’ll break through the Sin Domain,” Jiang Changkong said calmly.

Everyone was stunned, bewildered as they asked, “Break through the Sin Domain?”

“A bunch of rats hiding in their holes. If we don’t smash through their rat nest, they won’t come out.”

Jiang Changkong said indifferently, “My patience has run out. I don’t want to keep playing this game.”

Everyone: “…”

You might not want to play anymore, but we still do! Breaking through the Sin Domain directly—do you have any idea how massive an undertaking that is?
