Seven Deadly Sins System

At this time, the cultivators who had previously gathered at the center of the Howling Ghost Forest and were looking for the inheritance had unknowingly dispersed, as two figures had fallen into a fierce battle.

One of these figures was a gloomy, middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, whose cultivation was at the Aspect Stage of the Awakening Realm, while the other one was a young man with a heroic face and sharp eyebrows.

Although the young man was only at the Vision Stage and his realm was lower, he was able to fight against the middle-aged man with ease and was even able to suppress him.

"Jiang Chen, what do you want?", the middle-aged man, Zhang Yang, couldn't help but shout in anger and controlled his Vision to defend against the incoming attacks.

Behind him, a large humanoid figure that was made out of lava and was surrounded by scorching flames waved its hand, putting up a defense.

In response, Jiang Chen snorted coldly.

"Hmph! You should have known that this was going to happen when you stole the inheritance that the disciples of my Sword Palace obtained!", he said loudly, and a huge illusory sword that exuded a strong aura flashed above him and rushed towards Zhang Yang.

"Boom!"

The sword hit the palm of the burning figure and left behind a large, deep wound, while a trace of sharp energy remained around it and prevented the wound from healing.

"You're shameless! Sure enough, you, the disciples of the so-called righteous forces, are not any better than those evil cultivators you claim to hate!", Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and became furious when he heard Jiang Chen's "righteous" words.

When did he steal the inheritance?

It was obvious that he obtained the inheritance with his strength, talent, and potential!

What Jiang Chen said was merely an excuse to justify his actions and rob him!

"Stop lying! How could a casual cultivator like you receive the inheritance? It's clear that you stole it!"

"I'll give you one last chance. Return the inheritance and let me plant a restriction in your soul and I'll consider letting you become my servant!"

Jiang Chen ignored Zhang Yang's accusations and spoke with a righteous look on his face as if he was fighting Zhang Yang for the good of this world.

However, his words were incredibly arrogant and shouldn't have come out of the mouth of a disciple of a righteous force.

In fact, Jiang Chen had the capital to be arrogant and was not blindly confident.

He knew that Zhang Yang was a casual cultivator who had only understood the Low-Grade Fire Authority, while he had understood the Sword Authority.

The Sword Authority was a High-Grade Authority that was famous for its combat power and sharp attacks, and it was what gave Jiang Chen the confidence to rob Zhang Yang.

As such, even though his realm was lower than Zhang Yang, his combat power was higher than him.

With that in mind, seeing that Zhang Yang didn't show any sign of surrendering, Jiang Chen didn't speak any more nonsense and directly took action.

"Bang! Boom!"

The illusory sword and the burning figure collided countless times in the blink of an eye, bringing devastation to the world around them.

The black and white trees of the forest turned into dust wherever their figures passed, while the land below their feet shook violently and became riddled with huge pits as if a meteor shower had taken place.

However, the thing that suffered the most damage was the target of Jiang Chen's attacks, the Vision of Zhang Yang.

In just a few seconds, many large wounds had been left all over the burning figure's body, and it looked like a half-broken porcelain doll.

Judging from the current situation, if nothing changed, the injuries in the figure's body would continue to accumulate until it completely disintegrated.

Seeing this, not only did Jiang Chen not show any mercy, but his aura surged and he increased the power of his attacks, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity.

It was clear that he was not ready to let Zhang Yang leave this place alive!

When Zhang Yang noticed the murderous intent in Jiang Chen's eyes, he immediately understood what he was thinking.

A complicated expression appeared on his face and hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he knew that his life was in danger and now was not the time to hold back.

"You forced me to do this!", he spoke in anger and took the trump card he had always kept hidden out.

A dazzling light shone brightly above his head, and then, a small, purple pagoda with five stories appeared.

The small pagoda had an ordinary appearance and exuded no aura, but it was impossible for a thing that was treasured by Zhang Yang to be a mortal thing.

Indeed, the next moment, the pagoda flashed and teleported above the illusory sword that was coming towards Zhang Yang, before a suction force came out of it and acted on the sword.

Although the pagoda was many times smaller and looked like a mere ant in front of the sword, something surprising happened.

Jiang Chen was shocked to discover that his connection with the illusory sword had been cut off and he was no longer able to control it.

This was something shocking, as the illusory sword was his Vision, meaning that it was part of him.

"Dao Weapon!"

The moment Jiang Chen's eyes landed on the purple pagoda, he recognized it and was able to understand why this happened.

He didn't expect that Zhang Yang, an unassuming casual cultivator, had somehow been able to obtain a Dao Weapon!

This was something that only cultivators at the Supernatural Realm could possess!

"This guy must have a secret.", Jiang Chen thought, and the fact that Zhang Yang possessed a Dao Weapon did not lessen his murderous intent.

Instead, it made him even more determined to get rid of him.

After all, he knew very well the value of a Dao Weapon.

As long as he obtained it, he would be invincible in the Awakening Realm.

If he was able to find Zhang Yang's secret, he would have hope of breaking through the Supernatural Realm and becoming a powerful elder!

Countless thoughts went through Jiang Chen's mind and he analyzed the situation, but in reality, less than a second had passed.

The purple pagoda had just appeared above the illusory sword and Zhang Yang was about to urge it and exert its full power to destroy Jiang Chen's Vision.

However, Jiang Chen would of course not allow him to do this.

A look of pain flashed across his face, but it quickly disappeared when he looked at the purple pagoda.

"You should be proud that you've forced me to use this thing!", he said, and with a move of his mind, a talisman appeared beside him.

The talisman was silver in color and was covered in strange runes, and when Jiang Chen poured his Mana into it, they shone brightly.

The next moment, the talisman burst into flames and condensed into a large silver sword that exuded a supreme aura, oppressing everything around it.

"Swoosh!"

The silver sword didn't need Jiang Chen's instructions and moved on its own, flying through the air and leaving behind a trail of space cracks, before it appeared in front of Zhang Yang.

Then, it shone with a sharp light and attacked his Vision.

The speed of the sword was extremely fast and Zhang Yang was rendered unable to react, but the pagoda seemed to possess a will of its own and moved, blocking the silver sword's way, as if it wanted to protect its owner.

However, something strange happened.

It was as if the silver sword existed in another, higher dimension, and even though the pagoda was clearly in front of it, it passed right through it without hitting it and continued unabated.

Without the pagoda's protection, the sword landed on the burning figure's body, causing countless deep cracks to form all over its skin, from which large amounts of lava poured out.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the burning figure exploded.

"Blurgh!"

The face of Zhang Yang immediately became pale and he opened his mouth, coughing out a mouthful of blood.

As something that was part of the cultivator, the destruction of the Vision was bound to cause severe backlash to its owner.

However, Zhang Yang ignored the pain and closed his eyes, and the image of a supreme silver sword remained engraved in his mind.

He never expected that such a sword would exist.

Compared to Zhang Yang, although Jiang Chen was a little surprised, he was able to quickly recover.

This talisman was given to him by his master, a Supernatural Realm cultivator, and according to him, it was strong enough to destroy the Vision of an ordinary Creation Stage cultivator.

Such power was expected.

However, thinking that he had used such a precious talisman to kill a casual cultivator at the Aspect Stage, Jiang Chen couldn't but feel heartbroken.

Fortunately, the culprit was still here and he could take his revenge.

"Die!", Jiang Chen raised his head and yelled, and feeling that his connection with his Vision had returned, he controlled the illusory to rush towards Zhang Yang.

This time, Jiang Chen didn't hold back at all and even used a secret skill, pouring every single bit of his Mana into his sword.

Facing Jiang Chen's attack, Zhang Yang, who had just suffered a backlash and was still reminiscing about the power of the sword was completely powerless, looking like a lamb that was ready to be slaughtered.

"Swoosh!"

The illusory sword passed straight through his head and cut it in two, leaving behind a sharp energy that raged inside his body, wiping out his vitality and destroying every single cell of his body.

With his death, the purple pagoda seemed to have lost its power, fell to the ground, and rolled a few times before coming to a stop.

"Finally...", Jiang Chen whispered when he saw this scene and he couldn't help but relax, never expecting that Zhang Yang would have such a trump card.

"But it's worth it...", he thought and looked at the purple pagoda, his eyes flashing with unabashed greed.

As long as he obtained this weapon, his use of the silver talisman would be worth it.

After all, although the talisman was stronger, it was only a consumable, while a Dao Weapon would be able to enhance his combat power at all times.

It was clear which one of the two was worth more.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen didn't recall his Vision and remained alert, stepping forward with caution and reaching for the pagoda.

However, just when his fingers were about to touch the pagoda, his intuition suddenly warned him of danger. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire

Jiang Chen immediately reacted and wanted to control his Vision to defend himself, but he was shocked to discover that a suction force was coming from the purple pagoda below, preventing him from moving and causing his thoughts to slow down.

In the end, he could only turn his head with difficulty, wanting to take a look at what was attacking him.

In his last moments, a large black scythe was reflected in Jiang Chen's horrified pupils, which soon fell down and harvested his life, extinguishing his vitality.
