Chapter 1537: The Most Dangerous Giant King

The Unresolved Proxy Marriage: Jiang Fan and Xu Yining

"Soul Stab!" Jiang Fan targeted a giant several tens of feet tall, who had just massacred a group of humans and wore a sinister grin. Transparent soul spikes instantly pierced his soul. The soul was one of the ancient giants' few weaknesses. The soul spikes, formed from Jiang Fan's Nine-Aperture Nascent Soul's spiritual power, were more than a Nine-Aperture Giant could withstand. In an instant, its soul was shattered. It let out a pained scream, its vertical eye turning white, and then it crashed to the ground.

The fall of the Nine-Aperture Giant caused several surrounding ancient giants to roar repeatedly. Those further away opened their mouths and shot out their tongues, while those nearby swung heavy maces.

Jiang Fan scoffed. "Purple Lightning!" *Whoosh!* A purple light shot out from the Sky Thunder Stone in his embrace, transforming into a purple afterimage that severed all the tongues. As for the maces wielded by those nearby...

Jiang Fan flipped his palm, revealing a palm-sized multicolored stone. As he tossed it into the air, the stone grew rapidly against the wind, transforming into a small five-colored mountain.

"Weapon Seize!" The Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain, unused for a long time, could finally unleash its full combat power. As soon as the "Weapon Seize" ability was activated, the two maces swinging towards Jiang Fan were strongly pulled by the Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain's powerful magnetic force. Even with the ancient giants' strength, they couldn't hold onto them. *Clang! Clang!* Both maces were completely snatched away, tightly adhering to the Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain.

Of course, Jiang Fan aimed to seize more than just the two maces in front of him. "Go!" Jiang Fan pointed, and the Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain radiated light, circling over the heads of the outer ancient giants. One mace after another was snatched away.

However, some weapons of human soldiers near the periphery were also accidentally seized. But because the ancient giants were tall and the Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain was above their heads, it was further from the humans, so the weapon-seizing effect on them was relatively weaker. Most humans noticed something was wrong and withdrew their weapons in time; only a few were taken. Moreover, there were countless human bodies and weapons on the battlefield, so they had no shortage of temporary weapons.

Ancient giants, however, were different. Maces were their only weapons, and once seized, their lethality against humans was greatly reduced. They could no longer inflict widespread damage as before. This significantly eased the pressure on the humans caught in the encirclement.

Only for ancient giants in the chaotic melee did Jiang Fan hesitate to use the Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain, fearing widespread friendly fire. However, the Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain still had its use. He pointed again, and the Five-Magnetic Origin Mountain flew directly towards the eastern battle zone, where Dharma Seal was in charge. It proceeded to seize the maces of the outer ancient giants in the same manner.

Dharma Seal, who was furiously slaying enemies, was overjoyed. He turned to give Jiang Fan a grateful look, then, like a battle-bloodied enraged Buddha, he decimated a group of outer giants.

Jiang Fan didn't stop either. "Four Symbols!" "Indestructible Blade!" "Black Sky Eye!" "Heaven-Slaying Furnace!" "Evil Sword!" With every move, he claimed the life of an ancient giant. The ancient giant encirclement was quickly torn open by a huge breach, allowing the trapped humans to break free. They then turned to attack the ancient giants on the flanks, further widening the gap. Humans still inside the circle, benefiting from the increased space, were finally able to create distance and avoid close-quarters combat with the ancient giants. Casualties rapidly decreased! They began an organized counterattack, forcing the outer ancient giants to retreat. In some areas, the encirclement was even completely broken, with more humans rushing out and now counter-encircling the ancient giants. Thus, the encirclement disintegrated, and both sides fell into a complete melee.

The Golden Battle Group's encirclement tactic was declared a failure. With powerful human Nascent Soul realm experts inside, and an even more terrifying Jiang Fan outside slaughtering giants at an alarming rate—killing one ancient giant with every blink of an eye—panic spread among the ancient giants. At this rate, they wouldn't be able to wait for assistance from the two Giant Kings and their battle groups.

The Sand Giant King, also noticing the situation on the eastern front, roared repeatedly: "Wang Chongxiao!!" Nothing was more humiliating than watching his own kind be slaughtered by a mere 'insect'. What angered him even more was that they had fallen into a human trap. He, along with another Giant King and three entire battle groups, were all trapped within the forbidden zone!

"Ah!" "My eyes!" "My hands are rotting, I can barely see!" "Giant King, save us..." Because they couldn't leave the forbidden zone in time, the two Giant Kings were temporarily safe due to their immensely powerful physiques. But the other giants were in danger. The dreadful black mist was relentlessly corroding their bodies. Vulnerable areas like the eyes were the first to be damaged! Next were the ears, and then the mouth and tongue. If they didn't get out soon, the three battle groups, a total of three hundred giants, would turn blind, deaf, and mute!

The Sand Giant King roared, the star on his forehead spinning rapidly. The yellow sand filling the forbidden zone condensed into a majestic hundred-foot-tall giant, which fiercely punched the golden barrier. The golden barrier trembled violently, large cracks appearing, on the verge of breaking. Above the barrier, Jiang Wuya's entire God Transformation power surged, channeling into the barrier. The cracks were nourished and rapidly healed.

The Sand Giant King glared furiously at Jiang Wuya and said grimly, "Human, let's see how much God Transformation power you have left!" *Boom! Boom! Boom!* He didn't hesitate to expend his essence, continuously controlling the hundred-foot giant to barrage the barrier. Jiang Wuya's gaze was resolute, and he too poured in his God Transformation power regardless of the cost. He stood high in the sky, overseeing the entire situation. He understood his own importance perfectly. How long he endured was crucial to the overall victory or defeat! Even if he died, he would maintain the barrier until the very last moment.

The hundred-foot giant continuously bombarded the barrier ten times. Each time the barrier was on the verge of breaking, Jiang Wuya would release his God Transformation power to stabilize it. Meanwhile, during their confrontation, the forbidden zone's corrosion finally inflicted unparalleled damage upon the giants. Almost all giants' eyes were rotted away. Even those with closed eyes had their eyelids corroded first, then their eyeballs dissolved into murky sludge. Their ears, mouths, and tongues also rotted away one after another. Their bodies became pitted and gradually rotted down to the bone. The three hundred giants of the battle groups were so severely corroded that they lost more than half of their combat effectiveness.

The Sand Giant King roared furiously, "Soul Giant King, what are you waiting for? Kill that human God Transformation cultivator!" The Soul Giant King, who had been observing all along, with a dull gray star on his forehead, regretfully glanced at Jiang Fan in the distance. He sighed softly, "Black Sun King instructed me to deliver a fatal blow to Wang Chongxiao." "Now, I have no choice but to reveal myself." He was a dangerous existence in the Black Sun Royal Court, second only to the Space Giant King. His domain was the essence of the soul! He was also the trump card Black Sun King intended to use to kill Jiang Fan. To prevent Jiang Fan from being prepared, he had endured and refrained from acting until now. Unfortunately, he had to reveal himself.
