Destined Antagonist: I Refuse To Annul The Engagement!

"Jiang Heng, you have three breaths to make your choice." Lord Jiang Ming's voice was cold.

The expressions of the crowd changed, anger evident in their eyes.

If even the Young King is not qualified to participate in the Trial of the Human Stele, then who among the people present is qualified?!

"Jiang Ming! You've gone too far!" Jiang Heng's aged eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. His powerful spiritual energy surged within him, resonating layer by layer.

Lord Jiang Ming smiled indifferently. The immense power of the Profound Earth realm pinnacle burst forth, directly overpowering the other party.

The other three lords also stepped forward. They were all existences at the Profound Earth realm pinnacle, releasing their oppressive aura without reservation. They stirred the power of the earth, layer upon layer, heavy and immeasurable, like a towering divine peak pressing down on the world.

Countless people felt a weight in their bodies, filled with unease.

Even Jiang Heng's face darkened, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

After all, he only had half of his body left, his physical body incomplete and his foundation damaged. Although his cultivation remained at the Profound Earth realm pinnacle, his true combat strength was much weaker than that of the four Jiang Ming.

The situation immediately became tense.

Outside the city, the group of geniuses revealed triumphant smiles.

Their gazes towards Jiang Xuan were like those towards prey about to fall into their trap.

Swordmaster Henge of the Pure Yang Sword Sect looked at Jiang Xuan and spoke frankly, "Jiang Qiankun, give up struggling!"

"You are now isolated and helpless. If you want to survive, there is only one path."

"Hand over the Jixia Academy!"

Henge chuckled lightly, his tone carrying a lofty attitude. "In the name of Swordmaster Henge, I promise you that as long as you hand over the Jixia Academy, I can guarantee your survival in this world!"

The geniuses and monsters around them frowned slightly, not pleased but also not saying anything.

When Jiang Qiankun hands over the Jixia Academy, then it will be up to their own abilities.

If Swordmaster Henge wants to ensure Jiang Qiankun's safety, that is his own business and has nothing to do with them.

Mr. Kuai hid among them, staring at Jiang Xuan, his eyes flickering as he pondered whether to first fight for the Jixia Academy or to eliminate Jiang Xuan...

The Jixia Academy was indeed important, containing countless Confucian and Daoist inheritances, and even an inheritance surpassing the Saint Grade.

But... to be honest, he felt even more murderous intent towards Jiang Xuan!

Back then, he was played around by the other party, and that humiliation was like a thorn in his throat.

Zhao Fuyao, the Divine Maiden of the Zhao Family, had a starry gleam in her beautiful eyes, filled with interest in this Jiang Qiankun.

She had looked up information about Jiang Qiankun beforehand. As one of the Four Jiangs of the Jiang Family, he was an unparalleled genius, even possessing the potential to become a monster. But to be honest... this level of talent was not particularly outstanding in her eyes, at least in her opinion, it was somewhat ordinary.

However, the recent actions of Jiang Qiankun repeatedly broke her understanding and caused waves.

First, he angrily killed over a thousand people and forcefully seized the Jixia Academy, attracting countless geniuses and monsters from the Eastern Divine Continent to pursue him.

Even under the almost carpet-like search of so many geniuses and monsters, he still managed to escape easily and quietly entered the True God's Secret Realm.

And now, he inexplicably joined the indigenous people of this world and obtained the opportunity to participate in the Trial of the Human Stele.

If it weren't for Swordmaster Henge revealing his identity, he would probably have successfully completed the Trial of the Human Stele.

Moreover, even now, when he has become the center of contradictions, with the indigenous people of the ancient city wanting to expel him and these geniuses eyeing the Jixia Academy on him, he remains calm as if he is not involved.

Zhao Fuyao honestly admitted that if she were in his shoes, she might not be able to remain so calm.

But she had to remember that she was the Divine Maiden of the Zhao Family, with the entire immortal Zhao Family serving her. On the other hand, although Jiang Qiankun was one of the Four Jiangs, it was obvious that the Jiang Family did not attach much importance to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up alone until now.

Moreover, his cultivation was only at the seventh level of the Spiritual Manifestation realm, clearly weaker than the majority of people present.

"Talent!"

Zhao Fuyao sighed inwardly, unexpectedly developing a sense of admiration.

If given the opportunity, she wouldn't mind lending a hand and making them her own.

She had a feeling that if she could subdue the other party, her path would become much smoother.

Of course, she was even more confident that with her assistance, the other party would truly shine and achieve great fame.

"The time has come."

Lord Jiang Ming looked at Jiang Heng and said calmly, "I hope you can make the right choice."

"As members of the Jiang family, I don't want to make a scene in front of outsiders."

Jiang Heng sneered but instead looked at Jiang Xuan. Though he didn't say anything, his attitude was clear - they would advance and retreat together with the Young King.

"Stubborn!"

Lord Jiang Ming snorted coldly, extending his right hand towards Jiang Xuan. With the weight of the earth, he intended to lift Jiang Xuan directly and throw him out of the First Ancient City.

"Why bother?"

Jiang Xuan sighed helplessly, feeling quite annoyed.

He really didn't want to attract so much attention.

Everyone was peacefully participating in the trial of the human monument, so why couldn't he peacefully take the monument away?

But he didn't expect those guys outside to not only make things difficult for him but also expose his identity.

One thing he couldn't understand... He had the Tian Yan Secret Technique to conceal himself, even the Venerables couldn't see through it. How did those guys outside recognize him as Jiang Qiankun?

"Fortunately, I wore an extra layer of disguise." Jiang Xuan felt both frustrated and somewhat fortunate.

A thought became even more firm in his mind: he needed to wear more layers of disguise in the future, the more the better, only then would he be truly safe!

In the current situation, he couldn't continue to be so reckless.

"Alright, the epic skin 'Jiang Qiankun,' return within the time limit." Jiang Xuan muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a magnificent light burst from Jiang Xuan's brow, and the human monument materialized, rapidly expanding and standing in front of Jiang Xuan.

It trembled lightly, causing layers of ripples to spread across its smooth surface, emanating an ancient and vast aura. It created a vast and boundless vision of a continent, suppressing Lord Jiang Ming.

Boom!

The entire First Ancient City shook violently, as if an earthquake was occurring.

Lord Jiang Ming was forced to retreat several steps, his aura in disarray. A surge of blood rushed up his chest but he forcibly swallowed it back down. He focused his gaze on the human monument standing in front of him, his eyes filled with shock and his expression constantly changing.

The other three city lords, as well as the Jiang family members in the ancient city, were all the same.

Looking at the human monument, their expressions changed, filled with astonishment and doubt.

The human monument of the Jiang Heng lineage?

How is that possible?

The human monument has never recognized a master, it's as immovable as a mountain. How did this kid do it?

Could it be that he has subdued the human monument?

This thought emerged in everyone's mind, and their expressions became even more unpleasant.

It shouldn't... be possible, right?!
