Chapter 1690: Chapter 1729: Kill the City Lord

As the Heavenly Heritage City Lord was worried, suddenly, his body shook violently.

The bloodline of the other half of the Ancient Giant inside him boiled like boiling water.

Next, he lost control over his body.

"Not good, the Ancient Giant is trying to control me..."

The Heavenly Heritage City Lord muttered, and with a sidelong glance, he noticed that his two clansmen had already been controlled before him!

Without warning, they soared into the air, using Instantaneous Movement towards Xingyuan Venerable above their heads.

But just as they made their move.

A colossal palm, as big as a small mountain, smashed their bodies into pieces.

A White Tiger, twenty feet tall, blocked them. On its head stood Jiang Fan and True Word Venerable.

Jiang Fan, still holding True Word Venerable in his arms, stared coldly at them and said in an icy tone:

"I knew you ungrateful wretches wouldn’t stay put!"

From the beginning, he never trusted the Ancient Giants.

These turncoats, who ate their own and helped the giants on the battlefield, would Jiang Fan ignore them at such a critical moment?

He had always been wary of them!

Whoosh!

The space beside him exploded with a sound, the Heavenly Heritage City Lord had also made a move!

As a Great Venerable Realm, his strike was catastrophic, not giving anyone a chance to react!

And his target was also Xingyuan Venerable!

Jiang Fan’s face changed.

Luckily, a Big Dipper descended from the sky, pushing the Heavenly Heritage City Lord away from his Instantaneous Movement.

A silhouette with silver hair appeared in a flash.

It was the Lord of Star Mountain!

If anyone in Central Earth was most wary of the Half-Giants besides Jiang Fan, it was the Lord of Star Mountain.

The cannibalism incident in the Seven Cities of the Heavenly Abyss made her extremely vigilant.

The other Great Venerables, upon realizing, angrily turned their eyes towards the Heavenly Heritage City Lord.

At a glance, they noticed the black veins protruding from the Heavenly Heritage City Lord’s body, his eyes filled with beastly madness.

"He has lost his mind!"

"No, he’s been controlled?"

"It’s the Ancient Giants controlling him, trying to use him to assassinate Xingyuan Venerable, to stop the wish!"

"Damn it! Can the Ancient Giants actually control Half-Giants?"

"How did no one discover this?"

The face of the Lord of Star Mountain changed dramatically: "Aren’t the Half-Giants of Returning Ruins State also controlled?"

Everyone was suddenly enlightened.

They finally understood how the army of four hundred Giant Kings arrived at the battlefield in advance!

It was with the help of those Half-Giants from Heavenly Heritage City!

Only they could make the Sky Watchers of the Qintian Bureau lower their guard, then seize the State-level Teleportation Array when they were unprepared!

Golden Scale Venerate was burning with anger: "Those bastard sons of bitches!!!"

"I always said they couldn’t be trusted, but the Compassionate Sage would constantly protect them!"

"Now aiding the oppressors and creating a colossal disaster, Compassionate Sage, you must take responsibility!!!"

Jiang Fan was also furious.

If it weren’t for the beasts of Heavenly Heritage City helping four hundred Giant Kings reach the battlefield.

Forgetful Wild Elder wouldn’t need to sacrifice himself, bearing the stone tablet to aid.

Wait!

He suddenly recalled the matters of the Seven Cities of the Heavenly Abyss.

The Compassionate Sage had laid down the Time Retrospection Law in the Seven Cities of the Heavenly Abyss to cover up the cannibalism of the Half-Giants.

Also erased all memories of a female Venerable, the only survivor who witnessed the entire city.

When several sages questioned the Compassionate Sage about what he was covering up, he remained silent!

Now, the answer was out!

It was that the Half-Giants would be controlled by the Ancient Giants!

Once this matter was exposed, the Half-Giants would surely be slaughtered by Central Earth.

If so, as the protector of the Half-Giants, he would lose his source of Merit and never be able to progress further in the Sage Realm!

For the sake of a bit of his cultivation, he wouldn’t hesitate to hide the truth, disregarding the safety of Central Earth!

Jiang Fan couldn’t hold back any longer, roaring angrily at the sky: "Compassionate old dog!"

"Do you deserve to be a Sage of Central Earth?"

The crowd gradually came to their senses.

They all shrank their pupils dramatically, faces filled with disbelief.

The Compassionate Sage knew everything from the beginning, yet he not only failed to warn everyone to be cautious, but deliberately protected the Half-Giants!

Thinking about Forgetful Wild Elder’s sacrifice, the last battle that shouldn’t have happened, thinking about so many who fell in hatred under the iron hooves of four hundred Giant Kings.

They all turned angry.

This old dog does not deserve to be a sage!!!

Roar!

The Heavenly Heritage City Lord made a move again.

His actions completely angered everyone.

Golden Scale Venerate, Ice Heart Venerate, Wan Bing Venerate, Jiangshan First-class Building Owner, and Lord of Star Mountain all attacked in anger.

In the sky, the angry voice of Compassionate Sage rang:

"Stop it! This is my person, dare anyone kill him!"

Damn!

Even now, he wants to protect the Heavenly Heritage City Lord?

Jiang Fan, enraged, charged forward on the White Tiger!

The rest of the Great Venerables, also overtaken by rage, had no intention of stopping and attacked en masse!

The Heavenly Heritage City Lord hurriedly activated his Dharma Image Realm.

While facing the giants, he wouldn’t use his Dharma Image Realm, but against the people of Central Earth, he showed no mercy in unleashing it!

Unfortunately, he was faced with the combined attack of all the Great Venerables of Central Earth.

His Dharma Image was instantly shattered, and his nine-meter-high body was driven into the ground, leaving only a head exposed.

Under the intense tremor, the Heavenly Heritage City Lord finally broke free from control.

Looking at the fierce killing intent in the faces of the Great Venerables, he said in horror:

"Fellow Daoists, spare me!"

"I was just controlled by the Ancient Giants, it wasn’t my intention!"

A few Great Venerables temporarily withdrew their hands, frowning in thought.

Yet only Jiang Fan, showing no mercy, thrust the Angel’s Blade into his head and said coldly:

"Explain it to your Giant ancestors!"

"Central Earth, cannot accommodate you!"

The Heavenly Heritage City Lord roared repeatedly: "Jiang Fan! You’re too ruthless!"

"Does a Half-Giant not belong to Central Earth?"

Jiang Fan said nothing more, and thrust the Angel’s Blade in hard.

The powerful Holy Light infused into his body, and possessing the half-Ancient Giant’s bloodline, he also suffered the destructive attack of the Holy Light.

Bang—

Half his body turned into a mist of blood, with the remaining half buried in the ground.

The enormous shattered head stared venomously at Jiang Fan.

His mouth moved, as if cursing Jiang Fan.

But unfortunately, he couldn’t say a word.

After several painful struggles, finally, his head drooped powerlessly, life extinguished and he died.

Even his soul, being half Ancient Giant, was destroyed by the Holy Light, causing it to dissipate.

Even the chance to possess and repair was lost.

Jiang Fan pulled out the Angel’s Blade, and said coldly:

"Now, you deserve to be one of Central Earth’s people."

"Rest assured, you won’t be lonely."

"When I return from the ancient hunt, I’ll send all your clansmen down to find you!"

"None will be spared!"

Rumble—

The surrounding ground began to sink amid the thunderous roar.

The surrounding space barriers were already shattered.

Hunyuan State began to submerge.

As tens of thousands of Ancient Giants swarmed towards the academy and finally sensed something was wrong.

They panicked and ran back, trying to return through the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

But, how could it be that easy?
