Chapter 1351: Unsullied Master Comes to the Rescue (Early Dawn)

The venom of the Dark Night Black Serpent was practically the bane of the ancient giants! Even the Giant King was no exception! In an instant, his palm rotted down to the bone. Furthermore, the bone was rapidly corroding, so much so that he couldn't hold the mirror in his hand, and it fell to the ground.

The Crimson Princess in the mirror frowned; it was just as she had expected. Taking advantage of Jiang Fan wasn't so easy. She immediately warned without hesitation, "Sever your arm, quickly!"

The Two-Star Giant King reacted. He immediately lowered his head, opened his gaping maw, and fiercely bit off his own arm. The arm dropped, and while still in the air, it rotted into a puddle of black sludge. A moment slower, the serpent venom would have spread to his body, and then nothing could have saved him.

As he severed his arm, a fishhook swept in, hooking the mirror from the ground. The Crimson Princess sighed softly, "I knew this would happen!" She looked at the Two-Star Giant King, her gaze sharp: "As a princess, I issue you the highest command! Ignore me! Kill Jiang Fan..."

The mirror flew back into Jiang Fan's palm. But the command had already been given! Jiang Fan's expression darkened. "Aren't you afraid of death?"

The Crimson Princess's expression was indifferent. "Your threat to the ancient giants far outweighs any benefit I could bring them. A life for a life, I come out ahead!"

Jiang Fan shoved the mirror into his embrace, then casually pulled out a Wishing Paper and said, "Hold on to me!"

The Two-Star Giant King had received the Crimson Princess's command, and he would act accordingly. Even if it ultimately resulted in the Crimson Princess's death, with this command in place, the Giant Emperor would not overly trouble him. Therefore, this Two-Star Giant King had nothing left to fear! From now on, he would unleash a frenzied slaughter. They could only choose to escape!

"My friends and I shall travel eighty thousand miles together!" Jiang Fan immediately activated the Wishing Paper, and the Temporal Dust in his mouth rapidly diminished.

However, the Two-Star Giant King no longer had any reservations. How could he give Jiang Fan a chance to escape? His enormous vertical eye was filled with savagery. "Trying to flee?"

For ancient giants, their hands were not their only weapons! As he spoke, his mouth had already opened. A crimson long tongue shot out from his mouth like a sharp arrow, heading towards Jiang Fan with a series of afterimages! Its speed was too fast, so much so that even Venerable Truth and Green Pearl found it difficult to react. In fact, reacting wouldn't have helped anyway. This was an attack from a Two-Star Giant King; no one could block it!

The two women's expressions froze; their hearts suddenly stopped beating, and their breathing ceased. Their minds went blank. Jiang Fan's vision was instantly filled with crimson, and his head throbbed with pain. His mind also went blank for a moment. This strike was aimed at his head, a vital spot. The goal was to instantly kill him, giving him no chance. And the Two-Star Giant King succeeded.

Many important experiences flashed through Jiang Fan's mind: the joy of seeds sprouting, Xu Youran giving him her personal savings as a betrothal gift, meeting Gong Caiyi, encountering the Demon Emperor, uniting with Consort Yunxia, breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm... Scene after scene flashed through his mind in an instant. It felt as if everything was far away, yet also as if it were just yesterday. Is this how it ends? A bitter smile spread across his lips. But he still had so many things left undone.

"Huh?" The Two-Star Giant King suddenly let out a sound of surprise.

Immediately after, the excruciating pain in Jiang Fan's head receded like a tide, as if nothing had happened. Even the bloody hole that should have appeared on his forehead had vanished. If not for the Two-Star Giant King's tongue still being in front of Jiang Fan, he would have doubted that his head being pierced was an illusion.

"This is..." Jiang Fan froze for a moment, quickly understood something, and immediately looked at Venerable Sinister Mind. But he saw Venerable Sinister Mind sitting cross-legged, with half of his head shattered. Blood and brain matter streamed down his face. In his arms, he tightly clutched a block of ice. Faintly visible within it was a heart-shaped copper lock.

In his final moments, Venerable Sinister Mind picked up the Karmic Luck Lock from the ground and transferred the damage meant for Jiang Fan onto himself.

"You..." Jiang Fan's mind felt a massive shock. He couldn't believe it. The one who ultimately saved his life was Venerable Sinister Mind, who had been determined to kill him.

"Watch out!" Venerable Truth cried out urgently, pulling Jiang Fan back to reality.

The Two-Star Giant King, failing his first strike, fiercely whipped his long tongue towards Jiang Fan, intending to deliver a second fatal blow. This time, it gave Venerable Truth, the Witch, and Green Pearl time to react. All three attacked simultaneously. Jiang Fan also felt an inexplicable surge of anger and roared, "Great Derivation Sword Array!" His Nascent Soul power was instantly drained. The three top-grade spirit swords behind him transformed into divine rainbows and slashed forward!

*Clang!*

The three Venerables, combined with an attack nearly as powerful as a Venerable's strike, collided fiercely with the long tongue. The spirit swords were sent flying back, Jiang Fan was flung away, his chest instantly caved in, and he spewed several mouthfuls of blood. Green Pearl, the Witch, and Venerable Truth, along with their Yin energy and spirit artifacts, were all sent flying back.

"Ah!" The Two-Star Giant King, however, let out a piercing shriek. His tongue was blasted apart from the middle, and black blood gushed out. With eyes full of malice, it roared, "You all will die!!!" Its body vibrated wildly like a beating drum, and large amounts of black blood gushed from its severed arm and shoulder.

With a *thump*. Two brand new arms and forearms grew back! He thrust both fists forward, which instantly grew to dozens of feet long, striking at the four individuals! Heavily injured as they were, how could they have any strength left to fight? Jiang Fan gritted his teeth, resolutely took out the mirror, pressed it against his chest, choosing to perish together with the princess!

Suddenly, a muffled thud resounded all around. As those arms struck towards them, they suddenly shot upwards. When they looked closely, a hundred-foot-long, pitch-black demonic blade descending from the sky severed the Two-Star Giant King's arms!

At the end of the demonic blade stood a red-robed demonic venerable, his eyes as fierce as a wolf's, staring coldly at the Two-Star Giant King. "You scoundrel from the Celestial Realm, how dare you act wildly in my Middle Earth!"

"Desireless Domain!" The black divine halo behind his head shimmered, and a powerful domain instantly radiated in all directions. The Two-Star Giant King's eyes suddenly became dull and confused. As if he had lost all desire, he didn't even have the thought of resisting the demonic venerable's attack.

The newcomer was none other than Venerable Desireless, who had been pursuing the Witch! He had pursued them all the way here and unexpectedly saw a Giant King, who should have been in the Celestial Realm, slaughtering the spirits of Middle Earth. How could he stand by and do nothing?

Seeing that his domain had him under control, Venerable Desireless swept his demonic blade, striking the Two-Star Giant King's chest. The Two-Star Giant King was no simple opponent and awoke from his daze in an instant. He quickly let out a fierce roar, lowered his head, opened his mouth, and bit the demonic blade with his fangs.

*Crunch!*

Large fragments of teeth flew out, and his already enormous mouth was split open on both sides by the blow! But what should have been a fatal blow was stopped by his teeth!

"Hmph!" Venerable Desireless's killing intent flared, and he instantly teleported closer.
