Chapter 875 A Fearsome Reputation Spreads, The Transactions of the Wanbao Alliance_2
However, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable who had been killed, with his Divine Soul annihilated, suddenly attacked the Immortal Heavenly Venerable beside him.
"You?"
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable looked hugely surprised, subconsciously believing the other had betrayed them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
At that moment, within his Divine Spirit Soul Force, he saw a lance of light!
Pfft!
In his astonished gaze, his Divine Soul was completely obliterated.
And the body that made the move turned to ash and dissipated immediately after.
"What's going on?"
The rest of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables were immediately filled with panic and confusion.
Before they could understand what was happening, the just killed Immortal Heavenly Venerable suddenly surged up, attacking another Immortal Heavenly Venerable!
Pfft!
Another one was struck and annihilated in a single blow!
"It's Jiang Buping!"
At this moment, the surviving Immortal Heavenly Venerables finally realized in horror!
Jiang Buping had actually taken over the killed Immortal Heavenly Venerable's body!
How did he do that?
At this moment, everyone thought of the spear that had shot out from the Domain Law Chains, striking down their companion!
It was at that exact moment that Jiang Buping had taken over the other's body!
What kind of technique was this?
Could it be that Jiang Buping had no physical body?
Yet, no matter how you looked at it, Jiang Buping was not a mere Divine Soul form; if he had no physical body, only a Divine Soul left, where would he find the strength?
How could he cultivate strength, how could he survive on the brutal battlefield?
Boom!
As the remaining Immortal Heavenly Venerables looked on with terrified expressions, the Domain Law Chains appeared once more, sealing towards the Immortal Heavenly Venerable who had his body taken over.
Bang!
Suddenly, the body of that Immortal Heavenly Venerable turned to ash and dissipated!
Hum!
Yet the lance of light followed the Domain Law Chains, bursting forth.
Jiang Buping's figure appeared once again in the eyes of the crowd.
"With just you, you think you can trap me? You think you can kill me?"
Jiang Buping said with a cold smile, his spear piercing out, as he continued to unleash the Extreme Soul Martial Arts Divine Skill.
A moment ago, he had merged into the Domain Law Chains and ambushed the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, using the enemy's body as a cover to strike at the others, employing one of the Divine Skills of the Extreme Soul Martial Arts.
The battle continued.
This was a massacre, a horrific slaughter!
And in the distance from the great battle, two people watched silently, their expressions both excited and somewhat pained.
"So strong, it's worth it even if we have to spend a fortune on treasures for Jiang Buping!"
One of them said in a heavy voice.
"Let's choose him then, hopefully, he will agree!"
"He must be cultivating with a focus on his Divine Soul. That treasure should be able to move him."
"But that treasure, though related to the Divine Soul, cannot be melded or used. If he discovers this, will he agree?"
"Jiang Buping's Divine Soul techniques must be incredibly powerful, and he might be able to use that treasure. For a monster like him, no powerful treasure will be easily rejected, even if it's hard to utilize; he will try."
"Makes sense, let's settle on Jiang Buping."
After this exchange, they silently observed, waiting for the battle to end.
The battle had no suspense. Even though the attacker used many treasures and laid meticulous plans, even resorting to desperate secret techniques in the end, the outcome could not be changed.
Only when the last person, terrified, turned tail to flee and was eliminated with a single spear thrust, did the great battle come to an end.
All involved in the ambush were annihilated, vanished into smoke and ash!
Yet another great battle came to a close, and Jiang Buping's expression remained calm, but he knew this wouldn't be the last battle.
With the end of this battle, the attackers to come would surely be stronger, more prepared. Only by instilling terror in the hearts of many powerful figures, shattering spirits, and making any who covet fear, would this be over.
His journey towards the Taikun Realm was doomed to be a path paved with slaughter.
"Extreme Soul Martial Arts is, after all, a path of slaughter. Since that is so, let's hone ourselves in slaughter and grow stronger through it."
Jiang Buping's gaze was calm.
Looking up towards a certain area, his figure shifted and he vanished from the spot in an instant. The next moment, he had already made his way to the two Immortal Heavenly Venerables who were watching the battle.
"Jiang, my friend, please hold off on attacking. We mean no harm!"
The two powerful watchers were nearly breaking out in cold sweat, as they had not expected Jiang Buping to have discovered them.
"Oh, no ill intentions?"
Jiang Buping's eyebrows raised slightly.
"Since you have no ill intentions, you may leave."
Indeed, these two were merely onlookers and he had not detected any malice from them.
Since they were not enemies, he, Jiang Buping, was not one to engage in indiscriminate killing either.
"Friend Jiang, we have come here wishing to propose a trade with you. What do you think?"
One of them spoke up.
"A trade?"
Jiang Buping's expression turned cold; with a disdainful smile, he said, "Do you really think I possess any secret techniques? Extreme Soul Martial Arts is not something you people can cultivate."
"You misunderstand, friend. We have not come for the so-called secret techniques but for another trade."
"Not interested!"
Jiang Buping shook his head. Since they were not here to foolishly trade for so-called secret techniques, there was nothing else worth discussing. And if they were here for that, he would have killed them with a single strike!
"Hold on, my friend, please wait. The treasure involved in the trade will surely satisfy you," one of them pleaded.
Jiang Buping paused in his movements, turned his head to look, and with a smile said, "What treasure might satisfy me? Speak up, and tell me, who are you two exactly?"
"That can certainly be discussed!"
The two Immortal Heavenly Venerables sighed with relief.
The speaking one said, "Without hiding anything from you, we are elders of the Wanbao Alliance. I am Hong Yi, and this is Hong Er."
Elders of the Wanbao Alliance? Wasn't that the force opposing his second senior brother?
"So you are the elders of the Wanbao Alliance. In that case, tell me, what trade do you have in mind? With what treasure do you propose to trade?"
Jiang Buping had some guesses in mind already.
"This time, our Wanbao Alliance is willing to offer a treasured Divine Spirit Soul Artifact in exchange for your assistance for just one occasion," said Hong Yi solemnly.
"A Divine Spirit Soul Artifact? Ordinary Divine Soul artifacts hardly catch my eye."
Jiang Buping became even more certain of his guesses.
"I am of course aware of this, but this Divine Soul artifact is extremely special. Even with our Divine Spirit Soul Force, we cannot refine it. However, merely by cultivating near the Divine Soul artifact over a long period, one can augment their Divine Spirit Soul Force.
"This Divine Soul artifact was obtained after slaying an Outer Heavenly Spirit within the Heavenly Grotto. It is said to be the soul crystal of the Outer Heavenly Spirit, yet it does not contain Imperishable Qi..."
Hong Yi began to elaborate on the Divine Soul artifact.
On hearing this, Jiang Buping was immediately intrigued. Immortal Heavenly Venerables could not utilise it, but as an Extreme Soul Warrior, he could even cultivate with Imperishable Qi, so why not a Divine Soul artifact?
Furthermore, according to what Hong Yi had revealed, this Divine Soul artifact was quite unique, possessing characteristics similar to a special kind of metal. If he could refine it into his Extreme Soul Divine Weapon, it would likely enhance its power.
"...My friend, what do you think? Of course, in addition to this Divine Soul artifact, the Wanbao Alliance is also prepared to offer a batch of treasures and, should you have any conditions, you are welcome to put them forth."
Hong Yi asked somewhat nervously.
"The terms are decent, and the Divine Soul artifact does intrigue me, but who do you want me to deal with?" Jiang Buping pondered before asking.
Upon hearing this, Hong Yi was overjoyed and said, "Our Wanbao Alliance would like to ask for your help on just one occasion, to deal with Heavenly God Meng Chong!"
Jiang Buping's expression remained unchanged; his guess had been confirmed. The Wanbao Alliance had not sought revenge until now, obviously wary of his second senior brother's strength. Now that they had witnessed his power, they had made this decision.
However, the Wanbao Alliance did not know that Meng Chong was his second senior brother, and they were fellow disciples.
"Heavenly God Meng Chong is a powerful adversary indeed, a formidable opponent. Let me think it over."
Jiang Buping did not outright reject the offer immediately.
He took out his Communication Talisman to contact his second senior brother.
"Second Senior Brother, the Wanbao Alliance has approached me, requesting my help to take you on. They are willing to trade a Divine Spirit Soul Artifact..."
"Great news! Fifth Junior Brother, accept the offer. Get the Divine Spirit Soul Artifact first, and we'll talk later."
"But Second Senior Brother, if I agree to do it yet don't turn on them afterward, wouldn't that be somewhat..."
"That's a minor issue. When the time comes, we'll just have a little spar; you can agree to help but make no guarantee of victory. If someone is bringing treasures to our doorstep, why turn them down? After our spar, I'll use it as a pretext to extort something from the Wanbao Alliance. It's a win-win!"
Jiang Buping read the message on the Communication Talisman, picturing his second senior brother's rugged appearance, hardly able to believe that someone who looked so rough around the edges could be so cunning.
Pocketing the Communication Talisman and turning to the anxiously waiting Hong Yi and Hong Er, he said solemnly, "I can lend a hand, but I cannot guarantee victory. After all, you are well aware of a Heavenly God's reputation. I can only promise to do my best.
"Of course, the Divine Soul artifact must be delivered to me first. Perhaps it will enhance my strength a bit!"
