Chapter 687: Killing | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on April 13, 2025
Once, master and disciple clashed in a deadly battle, their constantly shifting Dao techniques dismantling each other, a dazzling spectacle.
Dong A, though a Vice Minister of a nation, was expected to have a bright future by Du Ruhui. Jiang Wang, even more so, was the pride of Qi, struggling in this world with only his sword.
This battle between the two was truly a clash of equals, life and death hanging in the balance.
The sweat accumulated over the past years, superhuman decisions, talent for combat… Many factors determined the outcome, but Jiang Wang could only see life and death!
He wanted Dong A to die!
The Decayed Wood Art, refined to the level of the Inner Mansion realm, possessed terrifying restraint over Wood-elemental Dao techniques of the same level. Before the Triple Verdant Tree could truly take effect, it was already destroyed.
At this moment, Jiang Wang strode across the ground littered with flowing light, his sword lunging forward, with the force of the setting sun crashing down on the mountains.
A tragic and heroic aura impacted Dong A’s senses.
It made him realize that this was a Dao technique truly forged on the battlefield. This young man before him, to stand before him, had experienced countless life-and-death struggles, truly fighting with his life!
The sword came forth with the determination of no return, this sword was for the old general nearing twilight.
Injecting a lifetime of glory into this one sword.
It came so resolutely, so quickly.
Aimed directly at the throat.
Dong A raised his right arm to block it diagonally, verdant light faintly churning.
The sword light brushed past.
Half of his arm was directly severed and sent flying.
The scarlet blood had barely appeared when it was quickly stopped by rapidly growing flesh. The Regeneration Divine Power took effect, and Dong A’s fist almost spontaneously regenerated.
Before Jiang Wang could retrieve his sword, a fist slammed into his face.
Jiang Wang was sent flying backward, spitting blood.
Dong A stomped his back foot, and two earth vines suddenly sprouted, intertwined together, striking upward in a fierce sweep!
The earth vines boosted absolute speed, and Dong A’s body was like an arrow released from a bowstring, directly catching up to the flying Jiang Wang, and a savage elbow strike landed on his abdomen!
Jiang Wang curled up in mid-air, all of his internal organs displaced. He momentarily saw stars, experiencing hallucinations. His mind lightly floated up, as if seeing beautiful phoenix lanterns dancing in the dark sky, Jiang An’an sitting happily in one of them…
In Cloud City, Jiang An’an giggled, cheering for the lively New Year’s Eve, the innocent and carefree nature of a child.
In Xin’an City, Jiang Wang was fighting a bloody battle.
Life has two faces.
I am here, so you may be there.
Jiang Wang’s gaze steadied, breaking free from the dizziness. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Dong A’s arm! He gripped so tightly that his fingers almost embedded themselves into Dong A’s arm muscles.
The Heavenly Palace and Inner Mansion roared into operation, even the Isolated Heavenly Island trembled, and Dao Yuan surged wildly.
Totemic power amplified!
The Ember Secret Store opened!
He opened his mouth and spat!
Samadhi True Fire!
A burst of fierce flames directly enveloped Dong A’s face.
This fire, fused with essence, qi, and spirit, burned everything.
Dong A suddenly encountered Samadhi True Fire, his eyes, mouth, and nose instantly melting, the intense pain overwhelming, yet not even a muffled groan escaped his throat. He directly lifted the Two Worlds Ruler and slashed upward, using this iron ruler as a short blade, directly severing half of his head!
Such decisiveness!
The half of his head, stained with Samadhi True Fire, was severed and flew away by the Two Worlds Ruler, while Dong A’s face grew back his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth once again.
Suddenly, he lowered his head!
A headbutt sent Jiang Wang staggering backward.
Before Jiang Wang could be knocked away, Dong A firmly grabbed Jiang Wang with both arms, pulling him back.
Another headbutt!
Jiang Wang’s forehead was already bleeding!
Dong A wanted to rely on the Regeneration Divine Power, directly exchanging injuries for injuries, to exhaust Jiang Wang to death here.
“Jiang Yan!”
Jiang Wang roared in his Heavenly Palace.
They shared the same body, their lives and deaths were already united. If the physical body perished, neither could survive.
Jiang Yan could no longer stand idly by.
At this moment of life and death, a black nether candle leaped out from Jiang Wang’s Heavenly Palace, and under Jiang Yan’s control, directly crashed towards Dong A!
Controlling the Nether Candle, he mobilized the power of his Divine Soul to directly attack Dong A’s Divine Soul. Back on the Qiyang battlefield, he had used this method to intercept Ji Cheng.
Just at that moment, a small seal hanging from Dong A’s waist suddenly shone brightly.
The sounds of hawking, the noise, children’s cries, clinking glasses, military training… All the sounds of human life.
The Prime Minister’s Seal of Zhuang!
When Du Ruhui left, he left this seal to Dong A, to help him hold down the rear.
As soon as this seal appeared, Jiang Yan let out a scream, directly falling silent, the Nether Candle being slammed back into the Heavenly Palace!
The Prime Minister’s Seal also dimmed.
Was Jiang Yan injured and fainted, or was he completely destroyed?
This was a very important question, concerning the future.
But at this moment, Jiang Wang had no time to think about it. With a thought, a full three hundred Divine Soul Hidden Snakes had already burrowed into Dong A’s Heavenly Palace, reopening the Divine Soul battlefield.
Inside Dong A’s Heavenly Palace, a large tree supported the palace.
Dense black snakes burrowed towards the tree like termites. The tree suddenly shook, its branches waving like whips, lashing all the Hidden Snakes away one by one.
Jiang Wang directly severed the connection with the Divine Soul Hidden Snakes, enduring the immense damage to his Divine Soul power, letting the Divine Soul Hidden Snakes wreak havoc in Dong A’s Heavenly Palace on their own.
And in reality, he suddenly lifted his knee, pushing Dong A back slightly.
The moment he broke free from the restraint, sword light suddenly flashed, his body like drifting duckweed, not forgetting to resist, a sword born of helplessness!
Dong A’s arms were both chopped off, but they quickly grew back again.
However, two Jiang Wangs appeared before him. One on the left and one on the right, both wielding their swords.
Illusion of the Rouge Mirror.
Dong A directly spread his arms wide, grabbing both Jiang Wangs at the same time, because he possessed the Regeneration Divine Power, he did not need to defend his vital points at all, nor did he worry about being injured. The black snakes that had broken into his Heavenly Palace had already been suppressed, and as long as he repeated the old trick, grabbed Jiang Wang, and then used his Divine Power to exhaust him to death, that would be a sure victory.
His left arm grabbed, but he had already missed.
It was an illusion!
The thought had just crossed Dong A’s mind when the Jiang Wang on the right elegantly swept his sword across.
Even in misfortune, a famous man maintains his grace!
This was the sword of a famous man in adversity, elegant and fierce.
Dong A’s right arm was directly severed.
Tonight, his arm had been severed many times, and it regenerated again as before. The speed was not as fast as the first time, but it was completed in an instant.
The Regeneration Divine Power was simply terrifyingly unsolvable. Ordinary Outer Building cultivators would not be able to kill him easily.
But just before Dong A’s right arm could regenerate, Jiang Wang had already crashed into him, a sword slashing horizontally, cutting off his feet, while using his left hand to directly press his upper body onto the ground!
Dong A activated his Divine Power, trying to grab Jiang Wang while his legs were already growing back.
With the Regeneration Divine Power, even if he was reduced to a human stick, it would only be a temporary miserable sight.
Close combat was exactly what he wanted!
But…
Jiang Wang flipped his palm and shot out a long nail, that long nail was dark and dim. It struck Dong A’s left leg, sinking into the flesh. The left leg was already halfway regenerated under the effect of the Regeneration Divine Power, but it stopped abruptly!
This was a long nail that Jiang Wang had asked Lian Que to make for him, using the beak of the Yan Owl from the Senhai Origin Realm as the raw material, a set of six.
Back in the Senhai Origin Realm, Qing Qishu also possessed powerful vitality, with amazing recovery ability, but once the beak of the Yan Owl pecked, his recovery ability would completely fail, and he would eventually die on the spot.
When the Yan Nest divided the spoils, Jiang Wang specifically chose the beak of the Yan Owl, precisely for Dong A!
This set of long nails was named “Life Slayer.” Specifically designed to nail and kill Dong A’s Regeneration Divine Power!
Dong A’s right hand was still reaching out, but it was already severed again by a sword, and then a Life Slayer nail was nailed onto it. The right hand stopped growing!
Then the left hand, then the right leg…
Jiang Wang continuously struck, six Life Slayer nails, nailed Dong A’s hands and legs, as well as his heart, and finally, the last nail, nailed into his forehead!
