Chapter 50: Suppressing and Killing the Three Gang Leaders; The Immortals Appear

"Little bastard, prepare to meet your death!"
"Kill him!"
"Die!"

The three leaders charged forward. The Azure Dragon Gang Leader took the lead, wielding a sharp and resilient black long spear as he thrust directly at Jiang Fan. Under the gang leader's mastery, the black spear bloomed with dazzling, fierce floral patterns of energy, possessing unmatched sharpness.

"Azure Wood Seal!" Jiang Fan did not hesitate, quickly summoning the Azure Wood Seal to smash downward.

Boom!

The dazzling floral patterns produced by the Azure Dragon Gang Leader's black spear were directly shattered by the overwhelming force of the two-meter-wide Azure Wood Seal. The black spear was knocked flying, and the Azure Dragon Gang Leader himself was sent hurtling backward through the air.

Bang!

The Wild Wolf Gang Leader's body crashed heavily backward, just in time to be caught by the Fierce Tiger Gang Leader and the Iron Blood Gang Leader; otherwise, this impact alone would have inflicted severe injuries upon him.

"Such... such powerful magic! We must attack together if we are to contend with him!" The Wild Wolf Gang Leader found it difficult to breathe, though thanks to his robust constitution, he quickly recovered his breath.

"Why is this kid so strong?"
"The might of his spell is simply too terrifying!"

The Fierce Tiger Gang Leader and the Iron Blood Gang Leader also wore expressions of shock and deep warfulness in their eyes.

Initially, they had held Jiang Fan in utter disdain, but now, Jiang Fan inspired a heavy sense of caution within them. They knew they had to join forces and go all out, or they would likely be picked off by Jiang Fan one by one.

"Suppress!" Jiang Fan would not give them a chance to recover their strength. Instantly, he controlled the two-meter-wide Azure Wood Seal, inscribed with countless esoteric runes, to smash down right between the three of them.

"Attack together!"
"Join forces!"
"Hurry, join forces!"

The three gang leaders turned pale with fright and hurriedly joined forces to counter the attack.

With the three of them combining their strength, they finally managed to block the might of Jiang Fan's Azure Wood Seal. However, because Jiang Fan's assault was so relentless, they could only barely defend themselves with no opportunity to counterattack.

"What are you all staring at for? Fire your arrows!"
"Shoot!"
"Fire at him, all of you!"

While the three gang leaders were horrified by Jiang Fan's strength, they hurriedly ordered the eight Xiantian-realm leaders. These eight leaders were equipped with specialized crossbows—fearsome weapons capable of injuring late-stage Xiantian realm cultivators, or even those at the Great Perfection of the Xiantian realm—and they immediately pulled the triggers. In an instant, eight terrifying crossbow bolts whistled through the air toward Jiang Fan.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Those eight terrifying crossbow bolts carried a fierce, piercing sound of tearing wind, locking onto all of Jiang Fan's vital points and every avenue of evasion.

Now, Jiang Fan had only two choices: either recall the Azure Wood Seal for defense or suffer a fatal strike.

A normal person would undoubtedly have chosen to recall the Azure Wood Seal to defend themselves, but Jiang Fan did not. He merely dodged slightly to avoid the three most lethal bolts and then, acting like a living target, completely ignored the rest.

Instead, he continued to manipulate the Azure Wood Seal, frantically driving it to crush the three gang leaders.

"Die!" Jiang Fan activated his damage transfer ability and then exerted his full strength to manipulate the Azure Wood Seal downwards.

"Damn it! Has this kid gone mad?"
"He's crazy, this kid has lost his mind!"
"A madman, he's an absolute madman!"

The three gang leaders were filled with terror. Earlier, they had been heavily suppressed by Jiang Fan's Azure Wood Seal, beaten to the point where they had no power to fight back and were struggling to leverage their strength.

It was not that they were weak; rather, they had severely underestimated Jiang Fan's strength, which was why they found themselves in such a passive position.

Otherwise, with the combined strength of three late-stage Xiantian realm cultivators, they would have been fully capable of contending with a practitioner at the Great Perfection of the Xiantian realm, or even rivaling Immortal Xu, and naturally would not have feared Jiang Fan.

In the past, the other three gangs had always been suppressed by the Wild Wolf Gang primarily because, aside from Chen Shanhe—the gang leader who had reached the Great Perfection of the Xiantian realm—the Wild Wolf Gang also had the renowned Immortal Xu backing them up. Even if the other gangs united, they likely were no match.

Yet now, their scouts had reported that both Immortal Xu and Chen Shanhe had perished. It was precisely because of this news that they had impatiently formed an alliance to deal with the Wild Wolf Gang, intent on erasing it from the face of the earth.

Never had they expected that Jiang Fan, the new leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, would possess such terrifying combat prowess.

Rip! Rip! Rip!

Three thick crossbow bolts pierced directly through Jiang Fan's flank and thigh, leaving three bloody holes right through his body. Yet Jiang Fan seemed completely insensible to the pain, maintaining absolute focus as he controlled the two-meter-wide Azure Wood Seal to savagely smash down upon the three gang leaders.

Bang!

The three gang leaders had already been battered by Jiang Fan's Azure Wood Seal, leaving their internal energies in turmoil and their bodies drained of strength. Under this terrifying blow from Jiang Fan, they were utterly unable to resist.

The bodies of the three gang leaders were driven straight into the ground by the terrifying force contained within the Azure Wood Seal. The earth beneath them caved in, and the boulders shattered into dust.

They, too, sustained severe injuries.

"Meet your death!" Disregarding the wounds on his body entirely, Jiang Fan once again exerted his full strength to control the Azure Wood Seal and smash it downward.

"Hurry and shoot!"
"Shoot him to death!"
"Fire quickly!"

The eight Xiantian-realm leaders were now utterly panicked, and they hurriedly nocked their arrows once more in an attempt to rescue the three gang leaders.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

Bolt after terrifying crossbow bolt pierced toward Jiang Fan. This time, Jiang Fan was utterly ruthless; he merely deflected the bolts aimed at his head and heart, completely ignoring the rest. He allowed those fearsome crossbow bolts to pierce his body while he continued to focus all his might on commanding the Azure Wood Seal to frantically pummel the three gang leaders.

"Ah..."
"No..."
"Save... save me..."

The three gang leaders shrieked miserably under the blows of the Azure Wood Seal, their bodies sinking deeper and deeper into the earth. Before long, they were beaten into critical condition, and ultimately, all three were pulverized into pulp by Jiang Fan's Azure Wood Seal.

Meanwhile, the eight Xiantian-realm leaders had fired twice more during the onslaught, causing a total of eighteen terrifying crossbow bolts to pierce straight through Jiang Fan's body, blood flowing incessantly from his wounds.

However, because Jiang Fan had activated damage transfer, all the injuries inflicted upon his physical body were completely redirected to the Second and Third Gang Leaders.

Those two leaders inexplicably sprouted bloody holes all over their bodies and had already passed out from the excruciating pain.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Jiang Fan savagely pulled out all the crossbow bolts embedded in his flesh. As he drew them out one by one, the wounds on his body miraculously and rapidly healed, as if nothing had happened at all.

In mere moments, his injuries were entirely restored to their original state. At that moment, he turned his gaze toward the eight Xiantian-realm leaders and grinned hideously: "You bastards, daring to attack me—you all deserve to die!"

With that, Jiang Fan recalled the Azure Wood Seal, grasped the precious saber of the late leader Chen Shanhe, and slaughtered his way toward the eight men.

"An Immortal! Immortal, save us!"
"Please, Immortal, step in and save our lives!"
"Save me..."

The eight Xiantian-realm leaders had long since been scared out of their wits and fled in panicked disarray at the very first opportunity, howling in terror and begging for rescue as they ran.

"You arrogant brat, how dare you!"
"Yellow-haired punk, halt your hand at once!"
"Fellow Daoist, you have gone too far today..."

From within the three major gangs, three elderly figures stepped forth. Their faces were ferocious, and their eyes were brimming with killing intent. Without hesitation, they unleashed spells to protect the eight fleeing leaders.

"As expected, there are immortal cultivators. How interesting... But even with immortal cultivators around, none of you will survive..." Jiang Fan sneer coldly. "Talisman Sword, come forth!"
