Swoosh!
A translucent gleam swept across Jiang Cheng's corpse, and he was resurrected.
The bloodstains on his body remained, but if you looked closely at the collar, you'd find the previous wound had vanished without a trace.
He felt unprecedentedly good.
His body was filled with abundant spiritual power, his mind exceptionally clear, able to perceive scenes over a thousand meters beyond the cave entrance with just a thought.
Additionally, his mind had inexplicably gained insights into the first four layers of the Moon Observation Heart Method, the second level of the Soul Capturing Technique, and the first six layers of the Crescent Moon Swordsmanship's Heart Technique.
He knew it was divine sense, cultivation technique, secret technique, sword technique...
It was as though he had cultivated for decades, with ample cultivation and combat experience, feeling entirely natural.
There was no choice, Yao Yunxuan's father was an elder at the Alchemy Hall of Extreme Moon Sect, and the system transferred all his learning to Jiang Cheng.
So whatever Yao Qiulin knew, Jiang Cheng now knew.
Even his alchemy technique, being related to cultivation, was transferred as well.
Except for lacking memory of his appearance and external belongings, in other respects, Jiang Cheng was a replica of Yao Qiulin.
Seeing him stand up again, the five people ready to act were startled.
Especially the male disciple who had just attacked, he rubbed his eyes, suspecting he saw a ghost.
He distinctly remembered stabbing the vital spot with his sword.
It wouldn't have spared a normal person, let alone a cultivator in the Gathering Yuan Realm, anyone struck by that sword would undoubtedly die!
"Senior, you're not dead!"
Ji Linghan exclaimed in joy.
Although she had just recently met Jiang Cheng, she remembered him stepping in to defend her earlier.
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, "Rest assured, even if their entire family dies, I won't."
He looked profoundly mysterious, but it didn't intimidate Yao Yunxuan and the others.
"Playing tricks, let's kill you again!"
The male disciple, now enraged and embarrassed, swung his sword down again.
This time, spiritual power from the Gathering Yuan Realm infused into it, causing a sudden blaze of light all around.
The white sword aura illuminated the cave like a beam.
A fierce wind arose from thin air, the sword hadn't even arrived, and the air around was already blurred.
Sizzle!
Only a patch of white remained before Jiang Cheng.
"Senior, be careful!"
Ji Linghan shouted in surprise, not expecting the suddenness of the attack, leaving no time for rescue.
The light flashed and vanished, and a figure fell.
Ji Linghan couldn't help but turn her head, unable to bear watching.
Yao Yunxuan and others simultaneously smirked; this strike was a full-force blow by Senior Brother Zhu, absolutely flawless.
Being delayed twice by a mortal was utterly frustrating.
But their smiles soon froze.
Jiang Cheng was still standing, holding a sword that was dripping blood.
The sword's previous owner was that Senior Brother Zhu.
Sadly, he was now lying a dozen meters away, beheaded.
Currently, Jiang Cheng was at the Soul Splitting Realm Third Layer.
A difference in cultivation of one small realm can form suppression, let alone a great realm difference.
Even without a weapon initially, the gap was too vast, allowing easy domination.
"How did you accomplish that?"
Yao Yunxuan and others were shocked.
Senior Brother Zhu was at the Gathering Yuan Realm Sixth Layer, higher than Yao Yunxuan by one layer.
Even Ji Linghan couldn't defeat him in a solo duel within several dozen moves.
"Who on earth are you?"
Yao Yunxuan remained the most composed.
"You're not from the Feixian Sect, why are you supporting that little wench? What did she offer you?"
This person's power exceeded her expectations; supporting Ji Linghan wasn't ideal.
Her first thought wasn't outrage but dividing and recruiting.
Eliminate Ji Linghan, leave, then betray later.
Her plan seemed sound, but unfortunately, Jiang Cheng wouldn't fall for it.
"I'm your dad, kneel and call me father!"
Yao Yunxuan lost her sanity instantly, turning into an enraged lioness.
"Kill him!"
"Skin him alive for me!"
Her plan to recruit was thrown out the window.
Two other male disciples heard her order and immediately charged at Jiang Cheng, attacking him together.
Facing a three-sided assault, Jiang Cheng was unruffled.
He skillfully pinched a sword sign, activating Crescent Moon Swordsmanship.
The sword he'd just seized transformed into six, flying towards the three like meteors.
Subsequently, the initially aggressive three were enveloped by six huge golden crescent sword shadows.
Precisely two per person, quite balanced.
Seeing the sword shadow's refinement and sheer grandeur, Yao Yunxuan felt her heart freeze.
With just one strike, she was sent flying.
If not for her Treasure Armor reaching Tier Three Spiritual Artifact level, even just that blow would've cost her life.
"How do you know our Extreme Moon Sect's Sword Control skill!"
She shrieked in fear, disbelief written all over.
Extreme Moon Sect's swordsmanship requires the heart method of Extreme Moon Sect to perform.
Outsiders, even if they learn, can only imitate superficially.
Extreme Moon Sect's heart method is exclusively taught to inner sect disciples; how could this person possibly know?
And use it far more proficiently, clearly showing years of immersion.
"Told you I'm your father, yet you still don't believe!"
