"Bastard!"

Shanye Cunfu roared furiously, barking, "What do you know? We are the emissaries of the Eight-Headed Great God. The divine light of the Great God will surely illuminate the entire land!"

"Haha! Illuminate the entire land, you're really a bunch of charlatans, go on with your delusions of grandeur!"

Jiang Chen sneered, suddenly sensing several obscure auras rapidly approaching. With a slight smile and a cold glint in his eyes, he said, "It's about time, let's send you on your way to meet your Great Aunt Eight-Headed!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Over twenty figures burst out from the jungle, forming another encirclement around Shanye Cunfu and the others.

The newcomers were the top fighters from the Mo Family, Dong Family, Tang Family, Tang Family, and Lou Family!

Seeing that Jiang Chen and his companions were unharmed, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

"Ouyang Nan, was it you who killed my son!?" Tang Chengye looked at Ouyang Nan and bellowed.

Ouyang Nan glanced at Tang Chengye indifferently and scoffed, "Head of the Tang Family, it's an honor for your son to have become nourishment for the Eight-Headed Great God!"

"You… I'll kill you!" Tang Chengye raged, his figure moving to charge at Ouyang Nan.

"Wait!" Wu Qianxun grabbed Tang Chengye, his eyes filled with shock as he looked towards the eight Innate Grandmasters among Shanye Cunfu's group.

"Head of the Lin Family?!"

"Head of the Meng Family?!"

"Head of the Wang Family?!"

Shouts of astonishment rose as people from the Tang Family, Mo Family, and others looked at the eight Innate Grandmasters with shocked faces.

"What's going on? Aren't they the family heads of martial arts families that were wiped out in recent years?"

"It's them, Head of the Lin Family, what are you doing here?"

"You've also sided with the Divine Palace of Beihai National?!"

Tang Jiawei and others called out in succession.

The eight peak Innate Grandmasters glanced at Tang Jiawei and the others without responding.

"Heh! Head of the Jiang Family, do you think these people are enough to keep us here? You're too naive!"

Shanye Cunfu also frowned slightly, with his expression gradually returning to calm. He looked at the people surrounding him, laughed mockingly, and ignored them with disdain.

He then turned to Jiang Chen and chuckled, "Let me show you the power of the Great God, let me show you if relying on the absorption of Soul Power, one will stop at the peak of Innate Grandmasters!"

Jiang Chen's heart clenched upon hearing this. When Wu Qianxun and the others recognized the eight Innate Grandmasters, a dark premonition had started to emerge in his heart.

Now, that ominous premonition grew even stronger.

Hum hum hum!

As soon as Shanye Cunfu's voice fell, a sudden change occurred.

The eight Innate Grandmaster martial artists all burst forth with a powerful aura, their bodies emitting thick black fog, instantly enveloping themselves in it.

"Trouble! Everyone, attack now! They're trying to power up!" Jiang Chen shouted, his figure moving and directly charging towards Shanye Cunfu.

Wu Qianxun and others snapped to attention, unleashing fierce attacks.

"Haha! Too late!" Shanye Cunfu laughed as he dodged a slash from Jiang Chen.

Hum hum hum!

Eight overwhelmingly powerful auras soared into the sky, causing Wu Qianxun and the others to stop their charge, frowning as they looked towards the eight balls of black fog.

Eight clusters of black mist quickly merged into the bodies of the eight people. At that moment, their entire bodies turned pitch black, and their pupils were devoid of any whites, yet their strength had surged to the level of Semi Venerable Realm!

Fourteen Semi Venerables!

Jiang Chen felt a fierce shiver in his heart, his brows furrowed tightly. This might well be the toughest battle he had ever encountered!

In the alliance on Jiang Chen's side, there were seven warriors of the Semi Venerable Realm: Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Dong Wuchen, the old patriarch of the Lou Family, the Mo Family's patriarch who had just arrived today, Old Master Tang from the Tang Family, and Wu Qianxun, who had left with Tang Wanru earlier and returned today.

As for the others, they possessed the prowess at the peak of the Innate Great Grandmasters.

They had originally thought this combination was solid enough to secure victory over the visitors from the Ouyang Family and the Divine Palace of Beihai National, but they hadn't expected such a turn of events, causing everyone's expressions to become very grave.

"Head of the Jiang Family, you have one last chance!"

Shanye Cunfu looked assured of victory as he spoke to Jiang Chen, "Having reached the level of Semi Venerable at such a young age, if you submit to the Eight-Headed Great God, in less than two years, you can surely break through the Barrier between Heaven and Man, stepping into the Celestial Realm!"

Jiang Chen swept a grave glance over everyone without bothering to engage Shanye Cunfu, and spoke in a deep voice, "Everyone, the time has come to fight with everything we've got. It seems that the Martial Dao World along the river has been heavily infiltrated by the Divine Palace of Beihai National. If we let these people leave, the entire Martial Dao World along the river might well be doomed!"

Upon hearing these words, the look of determination to make the ultimate sacrifice appeared in the eyes of Dong Tianchen and the others as they firmly faced Shanye Cunfu and his group.

"Head of the Jiang Family, is it worth it to throw away your life here for the so-called greater good? You are young and have become the head of the Jincheng's top family. Are you willing to give up such a brilliant future?" Shanye Cunfu frowned, unwilling to give up and persuading once more.

Jincheng was extremely vigilant in its defense against martial artists, and Shanye Cunfu really did not want to let go of Jiang Chen, who was an opportunity that had literally come knocking at his door!

"Mo Bao, there's no need for you to take action. Find a chance, and get the fatty out of here!" Jiang Chen once again ignored Shanye Cunfu, instructing in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Mo Bao nodded his head; he was very self-aware that he, a mid-stage Innate Great Grandmaster, was no longer in a position to intervene in the current battle.

"Damn you all! Stubborn fools! Since that's the case, you all go to your deaths!"

Having been repeatedly ignored, Shanye Cunfu was irritated yet again and shouted loudly, "Kill them all!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The corrupted family heads from families along the river and the two Semi Venerables from the Ouyang Family all charged toward Wu Qianxun and the others.

Meanwhile, Shanye Cunfu and the other three Semi Venerables from the Divine Palace of Beihai National headed straight for Jiang Chen.

They all understood the importance of Jiang Chen and prepared to seize him before taking their time to deal with him!

"Go!"

Jiang Chen shouted to Mo Bao as he drew his sword to meet Shanye Cunfu and the others head-on.

Mo Bao grabbed Zhu Wenqiang and dashed towards the woods.

Dong Tianchen and the others firmly engaged their opponents, creating an opportunity for Mo Bao and Zhu Wenqiang.

What they were thinking was simple: even if they were to die in battle today, they must get the message out!

"Damn beasts! Today, I will clean house!" A loud shout rang out as Ouyang Zhen, with bloodshot eyes, charged at Ouyang Nan and his son.

Yan Hu also quickly stepped forward to intercept a Semi Venerable from Beihai National.

A series of battles ensued in front of the dirt mound.

Dong Tianchen, Old Mo, Old Master Tang, Wu Qianxun, and the old patriarch of the Lou Family blocked the seven opposing Semi Venerables while Yan Hu faced off against a Semi Venerable from the Divine Palace of Beihai National. Shanye Cunfu and three other Semi Venerable samurai charged toward Jiang Chen.

The remaining three opponents' Semi Venerables, one surrounded by the peak Innates of the Tang and Lou Families, two powerful influences from the ancient capital, who had all come rushing over this time.

The remaining two Semi Venerables charged toward Tang Jiawei. These two were clan leaders from families ruined along the river, who recognized Tang Jiawei and knew he was among the most special among the ones with peak Innate strength present. Controlling him was nearly as beneficial as capturing Jiang Chen!

The battle unfolded in a chaotic fray!
