Chapter 1567: One Against Four

Their attacks were extremely ruthless.

Apart from the Giant King of the green star, the remaining three Giant Kings activated their core powers simultaneously. They aimed to join forces for a single strike to annihilate Jiang Fan. Once he died, the remaining Heart Demon Venerable, Jian Lanjiang, and the Sand Giant King could be easily cornered and killed.

No matter how desperately Jiang Fan and the Heart Demon Venerable fought back, or how much Bodhisattva Tian Ting sacrificed herself, it still couldn't change humanity's desperate situation.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan chuckled in exasperation, "Didn't I just capture your Imperial Princess? Is the Giant Emperor really holding such a grudge against me? Fine, then let him hate me even more!"

He took out the mirror that sealed Imperial Princess Zijiang, hung it on his chest, and said coldly, "Come on, I'll take the Imperial Princess down with me!"

The three Giant Kings were startled and quickly withdrew their core powers. This was to avoid striking down Imperial Princess Zijiang along with him.

"You're despicable!" the three Giant Kings roared furiously.

Although Imperial Princess Zijiang couldn't see the outside situation, she could hear it. She already knew that the Black Sun Royal Court army had been completely annihilated. Now, Jiang Fan had teamed up with the Heart Demon Venerable to kill four more. At this moment, Imperial Princess Zijiang truly regretted not choosing to perish with Jiang Fan in front of the Impeccable Great Venerable and the Five-Star Giant King back then. This had left such a significant hidden danger for the giants and caused such heavy casualties.

Watching Jiang Fan employ the same trick again, using her as a hostage, Imperial Princess Zijiang didn't hesitate for a moment. She said coldly, "As an Imperial Princess, I command you! Attack me! Do not disobey!"

The three Giant Kings' expressions shifted. After a brief moment of hesitation in their eyes, they once again activated their star powers. When the Imperial Princess gives an order, none dare to disobey!

Jiang Fan had anticipated this and wasn't surprised. He said calmly, "Then come with me, and let's take one last look at this world!"

He raised his hand, and a jade bottle appeared. It was filled with black liquid!

The moment it appeared, Imperial Princess Zijiang's expression drastically changed. She acutely sensed that her core power was becoming uncontrollable. The star on her forehead, which should have been calm, suddenly spun. As for the three Giant Kings who were activating their core powers, the stars on their foreheads spun erratically, stopping and starting, becoming extremely chaotic.

Looking at Jiang Fan himself, his eyes lost focus, and his body exuded an eerie aura. A powerful surge of madness spread outwards.

Imperial Princess Zijiang's expression subtly changed. "Be careful! This black liquid contains extraterrestrial energy that can affect our core powers."

This substance originated from the black profound ice coffin in the crystal mine within the Black Dragon Great Venerable's cave. Ling Shu and Liuli had both been sealed inside it. The anomalous energy within it had directly triggered Jiang Fan's madness, almost driving him into a frenzy. Later, Jiang Fan used the Heaven-Slayer Furnace to melt a corner of the coffin, rescuing Ling Shu and Liuli. The black mist that evaporated from within was condensed into black liquid by the Mountain River Cauldron. It contained immense anomalous energy. If released now, the Giant Kings present would be unable to avoid falling into core power chaos.

What puzzled Imperial Princess Zijiang was that Jiang Fan himself had already fallen into a frenzy even before the jade bottle was crushed. Did this action have any meaning? However, having dealt with Jiang Fan for a long time, she knew deeply that his actions always had a profound purpose.

Her eyes sharpened. "Don't worry about the core powers, quickly use your physical bodies to blast him to death!"

The three Giant Kings, along with the Giant King of the green core star, quickly teleported closer. Four massive, house-sized fists simultaneously struck towards Jiang Fan from a distance.

At this critical moment, Jiang Fan's Sage Blood and Nascent Soul Scar simultaneously activated, pulling him back from the frenzy. His consciousness instantly returned. Feeling the four oppressive destructive forces, he immediately crushed the jade bottle in his hand without hesitation. The black liquid splattered everywhere. The four Giant Kings had nowhere to dodge and were all splashed, as was Jiang Fan.

However, under the influence of the Sage Blood and Nascent Soul Scar, he became lucid again almost instantly after entering a frenzy. Meanwhile, the core powers within the four Giant Kings went into great disarray. The core powers of the Giant King of Light, the Giant King of Sight, and the Giant King of the green star erupted. Fortunately, their core powers swept in other directions, not affecting anyone present.

However, the core power of the Giant King of Frost was different; after it erupted, it attacked indiscriminately in all directions!

Crackle, crackle!

Everyone around, except for the Giant King of Frost himself, was affected by the frost power. The three Giant Kings, Jiang Fan, and Imperial Princess Zijiang all had their bodies frozen by the frost, unable to move.

Imperial Princess Zijiang paled with alarm and quickly said, "Seize this opportunity, quickly kill Jiang Fan!"

The Giant King of Frost didn't hesitate for a moment. Ignoring his companions, a long tongue fiercely pierced Jiang Fan's head. But just as the tongue had penetrated a short distance, Imperial Princess Zijiang's time power also erupted. Within a three-zhang radius centered on her, time began to flow backward. The frost on Jiang Fan's body vanished, and the pierced wound on his head healed. The striking tongue also retracted to mid-air.

"Oh no!" Imperial Princess Zijiang's pupils contracted. Only then did she realize that Jiang Fan had taken her out not to perish with her. With Jiang Fan's capabilities, he would have had plenty of ways to take her with him even at the point of death. The sole reason for bringing her out was that he intended to use the anomalous energy to detonate the Giant Kings' core powers. And to survive the chaos, he needed to utilize her time power!

"Damn it!" Imperial Princess Zijiang cursed under her breath, her heart sinking. Jiang Fan had recovered, but the Giant King of Light, the Giant King of Sight, and the Giant King of the green star were still frozen. They had become immobile living targets!

"Stop him! Don't let him attack!" Imperial Princess Zijiang urgently warned.

The Giant King of Frost also realized the problem. Wielding his spiked club, he fiercely swung it at Jiang Fan, attempting to tie him down. His core power would last for a maximum of three breaths; he only needed to hinder Jiang Fan for a moment.

However, Jiang Fan didn't dodge or evade. He decisively activated the Three-Colored Divine Rainbow, striking towards the nearest Giant King of Light. As for the swinging spiked club, he backhandedly grabbed the 'Rebellious Scamp' from his shoulder and threw it out.

The Rebellious Scamp shrieked in terror, "Ah! Why are you throwing me?"

As the shadow of the spiked club loomed, the Rebellious Scamp suddenly remembered something and quickly puffed out its chest.

*Crack!*

A bizarre scene unfolded. The spiked club struck the Rebellious Scamp's chest and… unexpectedly shattered into pieces! The Giant King of Frost was utterly stunned.

The Rebellious Scamp also froze for a moment but quickly recalled that it had a long-forgotten innate ability. That was... One Hundred Percent Chest-Shattering Stone! Back then, even when Jiang Fan took a broken fragment of a low-grade spirit artifact, the Rebellious Scamp could directly shatter it with its chest. The Giant King's spiked club was also a spirit artifact, entirely within its endurance.

It let out a long sigh of relief. Suddenly feeling a warm sensation on its backside, it looked down and saw its diaper was wet. It had just peed itself from fright again. Its small, green face flushed crimson with shame and indignation as it muttered curses under its breath: "Dog Jiang Fan, I'll remember this!"

The Giant King of Frost snapped out of his daze, immediately sensing trouble. He hastily turned his head and shot out his tongue, attempting to whisk away the Giant King of Light. But he was still a step too late.

Jiang Fan had made several calculations in a row, all to kill one of the four Giant Kings and forcibly snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
