Chapter 1533: Slaying the Golden Giant King

The Golden Giant King's heart sank. He immediately realized that Jiang Fan's true target was him!

Jiang Fan, mimicking the Fire Giant King, had executed a feint. But by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

The three-colored divine rainbow in Jiang Fan's hand suddenly rippled, as if its illusion dissipated, revealing its true form. It was no longer a three-colored divine rainbow.

Instead, it was a black wooden stick with a purple sprout growing from it. A sword had turned into divine wood?

"Illusion? No! This isn't an illusion!" The Golden Giant King immediately sensed something was wrong: "You just lit two wish papers and made two wishes!"

"The second wish was for the divine wood to appear as a three-colored divine rainbow in my eyes?" But even the formidable three-colored divine rainbow couldn't harm him. What harm could this black, ordinary-looking piece of wood possibly inflict on his indestructible body? Did Jiang Fan trick him into touching the stick with his hand for some deeper purpose?

The moment the thought arose, he suddenly felt something was off! An overwhelming agony, unbearable even for a giant, swept through his entire body from his hand.

The sensation was like a mortal being deep-fried in scorching oil, or tied to a pillar and slowly dismembered, or repeatedly crushed under a giant millstone.

"Aooo!" In an instant, the Golden Giant King let out an unparalleled cry of pain.

All the pain he had endured in his life combined paled in comparison to the agony he now faced! The pain of a severed arm or sliced flesh was like a mere mosquito bite compared to this torment. So much so that he instantly lost all will to resist.

He crashed to the ground, roaring and writhing, looking as if he wished for death.

A fierce glint flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes. He raised his hand, and the ten-foot-long Evil Sword appeared in his grasp. He thrust the sword into the Golden Giant King's mouth, prying it open.

Indeed, the Golden Giant King was indestructible. Even the three-colored divine rainbow couldn't harm him in the slightest. But the divine wood directly injured the soul! Even a Great Venerable suffering from the Five Decays of Heaven and Man couldn't withstand a single blow, let alone a One-Star Giant King.

Sensing Jiang Fan prying open his mouth, his remaining sanity instinctively made him swing his fist, trying to knock away the Evil Sword from his mouth. However, the pain surged anew.

He desperately clutched his head, as if to crush it and tear out the source of the pain. He let out a horrifying shriek that shook the heavens: "Kill me! Quickly, kill me!!!" This pain made him wish he were dead!

The Fire Giant King regained his mobility. Seeing the Golden Giant's miserable state, his eyes widened with fury: "Human scoundrel! Get away from him!"

Although he didn't know what Jiang Fan intended to do by prying open the Golden Giant King's mouth, Jiang Fan had gone to great lengths, even sacrificing two wish papers to reach this point. He must be planning a killing blow to destroy the Giant King!

He roared, his fists erupting with flames capable of incinerating all things, and fiercely struck Jiang Fan's back. He tried to force Jiang Fan back.

Jiang Fan pressed his tongue against his teeth, refusing to give an inch. If time allowed, he could slowly contend with the two Giant Kings and defeat them one by one.

But he had no time! He could only exchange his own injury for the Golden Giant King's life!

As he pushed the Black Dragon Armor to its limit, he scattered a handful of prepared Xitu from his hand, along the Evil Sword, into the Golden Giant King's gaping mouth!

The terrifying punch of the Fire Giant King followed immediately. With a thunderous explosion, Jiang Fan was sent flying a thousand feet away.

The Black Dragon Armor flickered wildly. Having been used multiple times in succession, its defensive power had already weakened considerably. It was no longer able to fully absorb a One-Star Giant King's enraged attack.

Eighty percent of the intense burning force was blocked by the Black Dragon Armor. Still, twenty percent penetrated, mercilessly striking Jiang Fan's back.

His skin and flesh, under this scorching power, vaporized in an instant as if they were made of paper. A massive bloody hole was punched through his chest. Only a riddled spine and the skin on either side remained, connecting his upper and lower body segments.

A normal person would have long since died. Fortunately, Jiang Fan was prepared. He gritted his teeth. He bit through the two Heavenly Robe Divine Water pills in his mouth, and the emerald green spiritual liquid poured down his throat, flowing along his spine, rapidly repairing his body.

The Fire Giant King, whose face had just shown a hint of surprise, became unusually ferocious: "Heavenly Robe Divine Water!" Jiang Fan struggled to turn his head, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth: "If you have it, why wouldn't I?"

The Fire Giant King was filled with frustration and vexation; even that attack hadn't killed Jiang Fan! What enraged him further was the intensifying screams of the Golden Giant King.

He looked down and saw that the Golden Giant King's head was swelling like a balloon! The Fire Giant King finally understood what Jiang Fan had poured in, and he was both shocked and enraged: "You actually poured Xitu into his mouth?"

No matter how strong the Golden Giant King's physique was, he couldn't withstand constant swelling until explosion, right? He quickly knelt down and plunged a hand into the Golden Giant King's mouth, attempting to pull out the Xitu.

Alas, it was too late. The Xitu caused the Golden Giant King's head to rapidly swell from the size of a thatched hut to that of an acre of land.

Then, it reached its limit. Amidst an earth-shattering roar and explosion, the Golden Giant King's head exploded into a bloody mess.

An earthy yellow star, mixed with flesh and blood, splattered outwards. Jiang Fan, whose injuries were barely half-healed, had a murderous glint in his eyes. He raised his hand.

The Evil Sword whistled as it flew forward. The Fire Giant King roared, "Stop!"

At the Giant King realm, as long as the star remained and there was a drop of essence blood, they could be reborn from a single drop. Although they wouldn't instantly revert to the Giant King realm, with enough food, they could still cultivate back to the Giant King realm. But if the star was crushed, they would truly die.

With a whoosh, he vanished from his spot, bypassed the Evil Sword, and pursued the star. His large hand closed, about to grasp the star first.

Who would have thought. A chilling shout suddenly rang out. "Black Heaven Eye!"

A pair of incredibly fast lightning beams, interwoven with white and blood-red, pierced through space and struck the earthy yellow star.

*Crack!* The earthy yellow star shattered into dust. From within the star came a shriek from the Golden Giant King.

The Golden Giant King's soul, hidden within, along with a drop of essence blood, vanished with the star!

"No!!!" The Fire Giant King roared in furious despair. He couldn't accept that the Golden Giant King had been utterly annihilated right before his eyes!

Like a crazed beast, he turned his head, his vertical eye glowing crimson, and glared. He saw Jiang Fan's body crackling with lightning, and an indescribable strange power within him. It was this power, combined with the lightning, that allowed the otherwise ordinary Black Heaven Eye to unleash astonishing power far beyond its usual grade.

"Wang Chongxiao!!!" The Fire Giant King's hatred surged to the heavens.

Jiang Fan retracted the lightning power from his body and sneered, mimicking the words the Fire Giant King had spoken upon arriving in the Central Plains: "The hunt has begun! Why are you still so quiet?"

Hearing this, the Fire Giant King's eyes nearly burst. He recalled how, upon their initial arrival, they had disdained the Central Plains, filled with excitement, believing they had arrived in a legendary sacred land. Yet, he and the Golden Giant King had been dealt a severe blow by Jiang Fan. He himself had nearly lost his life twice, and the Golden Giant King's star had been shattered, leading to his complete demise! Who, in the end, was hunting whom?
