Chapter 1095: Chapter 589: Breaking the Deadlock! Instant Kill of Peer-Level Geniuses (Part 2)

The crowd came only to threaten Jiang Shu.

But if Jiang Shu truly fought to the death, someone would definitely fall there.

Numerous supreme geniuses and ancient prodigies shuddered, all adopting defensive postures. Quite a few quietly withdrew from the crowd, ready to escape at the first sign of danger.

Ming Wuya was also somewhat surprised.

He thought Jiang Shu would argue in defense, but never expected him to directly admit it.

Seeing the reactions of the masses, a smile reappeared on Jiang Shu’s face as he said, "As Ming Wuya stated, this is a conspiracy between me, the Wind Cloud Pride, and the Mechanical Mother."

"But have you ever seen any conspiracy that ended in mutual hostility, with even casualties involved?"

"Ming Wuya, is this how your Netherworld Clan conspires as well?"

The hardest lie to debunk is one mixed with truth, leaving people unable to grasp it.

Jiang Shu caught the flaw in this and pointed it out.

"This..."

Everyone’s expressions froze; for a moment, no one could speak.

When Jiang Shu’s words fell, a few eyes flickered.

The footage provided by Ming Wuya was actually unclear.

At the time of the recording, Jiang Shu, the Wind Cloud Pride, and the Mechanical Mother were all within a space fold. Given the complexity of space and considering these people were top-tier powerhouses, getting too close might have led to detection.

Even so, Jiang Shu marveled at the stealth of the recording entity, undetectable even to him.

It seemed they had planned from the start to make a scapegoat of them, having people trail him persistently.

Though the footage was blurred, several still spotted clues, but their greed for the Heart of Space kept them silent, hoping to exploit the pretense to reap personal gain.

After hearing Jiang Shu’s words, some of the prodigies, though unbelieving, were no longer as certain as before, now doubting if Jiang Shu was the mastermind behind everything.

After all, so many mysteries have undeniably developed as things progressed to this point.

They simply wished to enter the Deep Space Sea, seeking chances of ascension to divinity.

None wanted to be used as mere pawns.

Amidst the stalemate, Ming Wuya suddenly erupted!

"Stubborn beyond redemption, let’s settle it with force!"

Ming Wuya struck decisively, breaking the crowd’s contemplation.

The current situation was disadvantageous; dragging it out might lead to unforeseen consequences.

The Netherworld Bone Spear, like a venomous dragon unleashing, stabbed fiercely at Jiang Shu’s throat, bringing with it an icy chilling intent.

This attack bore no warning; it was alarmingly fast, the space groaning underpressure.

Clang!

The Desolate Star Halberd collided with the Bone Spear, the explosive shockwave caused the mirrored-like space nearby to crack like a spider web.

Jiang Shu remained unmoved, only the ripples beneath his feet guiding the force seamlessly into the void.

"Angry from shame?"

Jiang Shu sneered, the halberd tip suddenly lit up with fifteen Great Dao Patterns.

"Seems I struck a nerve."

Ming Wuya did not reply as a ghostly blue Netherworld Fire surged along the Bone Spear, engulfing its entire length in an instant.

This flame bore no temperature, instead causing ice crystals to form in the surrounding space.

With a flick of his wrist, the spear tip diverged into nine phantasms, each carrying an aura of soul-chilling cold.

Nine Nether Prison!

The nine spear shadows sealed off all Jiang Shu’s retreats, even space briefly froze.

This was a secret killing move of the Netherworld Clan. Once hit, both flesh and Primordial Spirit would be eroded by the Netherworld Fire, transforming into ice sculptures.

Members of the Netherworld Clan were generally spirits born of powerful physiques, retaining remnants of past memories and obsessions. Together, they validated their cultivation, making their secret techniques renowned across the Cosmic, not to be underestimated.

Yet Jiang Shu neither evaded nor retreated, simply raising his left hand, sketching an arc in the air before him.

A bizarre scene transpired.

The nine lethal spear phantasms, upon touching the arc, appeared to collide with an invisible wall, each redirecting and heading back towards Ming Wuya!

"He’s even folded space; Jiang Shu’s comprehension of the Space Law has reached such a state!"

A well-informed supreme genius exclaimed in shock.

This was a new ability Jiang Shu discovered after contemplating the Heart of Space.

He folded the space before him into dozens, even hundreds of layers, twisting the trajectory of all attack that passed through.

Ming Wuya clearly hadn’t anticipated this, managing only to awkwardly defend with his spear.

With several dull thuds, his right shoulder and left leg were simultaneously pierced by his own spear shadows. No blood spilled from the wounds, but ghostly blue ice crystals formed rapidly.

"Seems you’re not adept at handling yourself."

Jiang Shu’s voice carried mockery, yet he did not pause.

The Desolate Star Halberd swept out, the fifteen Great Dao Patterns glowing in concert, weaving a vast gray web in the void.

Ming Wuya grimaced, retreating as his spear danced into a wheel of light.

Yet the gray web, seemingly slow, nearly broke through spatial constraints, wrapping around his limbs in the blink of an eye.

Each web strand bore Taichu Dao Rhyme’s reducing power; as they passed, Netherworld Energy dissolved, Curse Patterns faded.

"Ah!"

Ming Wuya let out a painful howl, as the dark purple Curse Patterns on his skin writhed like living things, resisting the Dao Rhyme’s invasion.

However, the more resistance shown, the tighter the web bound, soon cutting deep into his flesh.

The onlooking Jin Yao and others gaped.

They knew Jiang Shu was strong, but not to this degree.

Despite Ming Wuya being able to contend with Zhan Feng, an ancient prodigy, he couldn’t withstand three moves under Jiang Shu’s hand!

"Will you still not act?"

Ming Wuya suddenly bellowed at them,

"If this fiend escapes, the consequences will be dire!"

Yet Jin Yao and others hesitated, muttering without daring to advance.

The strength and evidence Jiang Shu displayed filled them with doubt. However, many had already vowed to see Jiang Shu and company pay the price. Having now managed to catch the isolated Jiang Shu, would they really retreat due to one man and risk losing face?

But should they advance to help, they risked perishing at Jiang Shu’s hands.

At that moment, Jiang Shu suddenly turned to the crowd and said, "I have no intent to be your enemy. If you retreat now, I’ll pretend none of this happened."

His words were the last straw, with the Sea Demon Princess first to step back, a hint of hesitation on her face, saying, "There are indeed oddities; my Sea Demon Clan will no longer partake."

With that, she turned and left, seemingly in a rush.

Jin Yao hesitated for a moment too, retracting his wings: "Jiang Shu, if I find you’re deceiving us..."

Before he could finish, a hundred-meter long beam instantaneously arrived before him, forcing Jin Yao to cry out, hastily crossing his winged arms in defense. The Golden Crow True Fire blazed fiercely, forming into a Fire Shield before him.

The Fire Shield was solid, its temperature so high it subtly distorted the space in Mirror Abyss.

Yet it was still as futile as an ant trying to stop a cart.

With a scream, Jin Yao’s arms fell into the void, revealing his bisected flesh and a look of resentment and malice, even as Jiang Shu’s attack shredded his soul with Dao Rhyme.

"Did you really believe Jiang dared not to kill?"

Jiang Shu chuckled coldly.

He knew behind this, Jin Yao was like a jumping clown, instigating many people.

There was no way he would let him leave as he pleased.

Today was the perfect moment to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys. Anyone daring to threaten Jiang Shu had to pay the price!

Wow!

Jin Yao was actually killed by Jiang Shu with a single move!

Jin Yao, despite his arrogance, was a long-renowned supreme genius, even the ancient prodigies of the Golden Crow Clan were no match for him. Though he was injured by a blow from Zhan Feng, it didn’t lessen his strength.

Such a person couldn’t withstand a casual strike from Jiang Shu.

What level had Jiang Shu’s realm reached?
