Chapter 1676: Crushing Pressure

"Jiang Fan?"

The Blood Moon King asked, his voice trembling.

At the mention of the name, the Giant Kings behind him immediately stirred. Especially the remaining One-Star Giant Kings; the name seemed like a curse, making them tremble violently and retreat in fear.

Among them was Princess Zijiang. Her eyes wide, she stammered, "That devil!"

"He's back!""And he's brought a powerful combat team with him!"

Without hesitation, Princess Zijiang urgently commanded, "Ancient Giants, heed my order! Retreat! Immediately!"

The Blood Moon King also gasped, realizing that with such a large combat team of powerhouses joining the fight, their Giant Kings would be massacred one-sidedly. He decisively fled first.

On the human side, the Star Mountain Lord was the first to clearly see Jiang Fan's face, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly. "Jiang Fan? How is it you?"

Looking at the crown on Jiang Fan's head and the seemingly endless beam of light above him, then at the fierce tiger at his feet, emanating the aura of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man, for a moment, she felt a little dazed. She had thought they were bandits, but it turned out to be Jiang Fan, from their own Central Land!

Hongxiu flashed over, a look of surprise on her face:

"The Ancient Wilderness Hunt hasn't ended yet, has it?"

Jiang Fan nodded gently. "Due to some unexpected circumstances, I've temporarily returned to the Central Land."

Unexpected circumstances? Hongxiu's gaze moved past him, falling upon the many powerful figures arriving one after another behind him. Among them, the young man with an imperial demeanor, the fierce demon race radiating monstrous demonic energy, and the angelic race with a sacred aura, all exerted a powerful oppressive feeling on her. She asked cautiously, "Did these people also come to the Central Land by accident?"

Jiang Fan introduced them without batting an eyelid, "Don't be nervous. These are all friends I met during the Ancient Wilderness Hunt. They voluntarily came with me to the Central Land to fight the enemy."

All the human powerhouses present were greatly invigorated!

"With such a combat team, how can we possibly lose this battle?""Indeed, formidable people are formidable wherever they go. Venerable Xinghuo is powerful in the Central Land, and even more so in the Ancient Wilderness Hunt!""So many powerful individuals from other realms voluntarily followed Venerable Xinghuo to the Central Land, which shows how likable he is!"

Hongxiu looked at the group with suspicion.

"Friends? Not a single one of them looks at you without killing intent."

Jiang Fan said, "That's just how the strongest prodigies from various realms are. It's normal for them to have a few eccentricities. Alright, alright, these minor details aren't important now. Let's quickly defeat these Ancient Giants and end the war!"

The Grand Venerables suddenly understood, their spirits uplifted in unison. They immediately rallied the Central Land army to give chase.

Jiang Fan also waved to the Ancient Wilderness Hunt army behind him. "Brothers, kill!"

Jiang Yitian gritted his teeth. "He's hogging all the glory! Are we just here to do the grunt work?"

Complaints aside, he decisively pursued.

The powerhouses from various realms also acted very aggressively. They were pleasantly surprised to find that the war in the Central Land was already in its final stages. Once the remaining Giant forces were annihilated, the Central Land would achieve victory. Then they could return to the Ancient Wilderness Hunt. Therefore, they fought more fiercely than one another, all eager to end the war.

Liu Bianhuang showed a hint of surprise and doubt. Looking around at the fierce battlefield, he said in a low voice, "Didn't they say the Central Land was on its last legs? They actually managed to win against greater numbers and push the decisive battle to this extent."

Yun Wanxiao also looked somewhat shocked. The Northern Heavenly Realm was much stronger than the Central Land, yet it hadn't achieved such military feats.

Tianqin lightly covered her red lips, inhaling sharply and saying:

"Brother, do we have some misunderstanding about the Central Land's strength?"

Tianjian was also full of shock at this moment. The imagined scene of the Central Land having collapsed did not appear; instead, the Ancient Giants were utterly defeated and fleeing. With a look of unwillingness in his eyes, he said, "The Central Land cannot possibly defeat the Heavenly Realm Giants. They can't win!!"

Jiang Fan, riding the white tiger, pursued them to the Sky-Connecting Black Pillar. At this point, the Central Land army and the Hunt army had joined forces. The number of Grand Venerables was almost three times that of the Giant Kings. Those at the Four, Three, and Two Decays of Heaven and Man stages were four times as numerous. The outcome was self-evident.

The combined assault of the allied forces from various realms was like a torrent, engulfing the Giant Kings in droves.

By the time they reached the Sky-Connecting Black Pillar, only a few Five-Star Giant Kings managed to escape up it, protecting Princess Zijiang.

But it was only temporary. As Gongzi Xiang, Yun Wanxiao, and others took action, the Blood Moon King and three Five-Star Giant Kings spilled blood across the sky as they fell. Princess Zijiang was also knocked down by the fluctuations of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

Coincidentally, she fell not far in front of Jiang Fan.

Looking at Princess Zijiang, who was in a sorry state, covered in shocking, ruptured wounds, he chuckled:

"You get so badly injured just by returning to the Giant race. Your kinsmen clearly don't care for you at all. Only your brother here feels for you."

Hearing the word "brother," Princess Zijiang recalled her experience of being tricked by Jiang Fan into killing her own kin. She got up, her face filled with rage. "Jiang Fan, you dog..."

*Slap—*

The white tiger slapped her to the ground, letting out a warning growl.

Jiang Fan smiled slightly. "Allow me to introduce you, this is a master of civilized advocacy, specializing in purifying social conduct. Speak more politely, or you'll get another slap."

Princess Zijiang, already heavily wounded, was dazed by the blow. Yet, she still glared fiercely at Jiang Fan, saying, "Do what you will, kill or torture me. Don't even think about imprisoning me again!"

Jiang Fan looked down at her, the smile fading from his face, his eyes growing cold:

"You truly deserve to die. The great war in the Central Land is almost over, and you no longer have any value."

Hahaha! Hearing Jiang Fan's words, Princess Zijiang laughed, her eyes full of mockery:

"Who told you it's over? Jiang Fan, the Central Land is finished! You can't save anyone! Hahaha..."

Jiang Fan's expression remained calm, his eyes showing no ripple of emotion, as he said faintly:

"Isn't it just that large armies have been conscripted from elsewhere?"

Princess Zijiang's laughter abruptly stopped. She asked in surprise, "How do you know?" The conscription order was only announced after Jiang Fan had entered the Ancient Wilderness Hunt. How could Jiang Fan possibly know?

"Is it that hard to guess?" Jiang Fan said, looking at the Giant Kings who had been mostly slaughtered:

"After paying such a huge price, why would your Southern Heavenly Realm easily give up just because of the Ancient Wilderness Hunt? You would inevitably launch a final desperate counterattack, so conscripting a large army was expected."

Princess Zijiang narrowed her eyes, a feeling of unease stirring within her:

"Then why do you still think the war will end? To tell you the truth, my Imperial Father has already conscripted five central armies, prepared for the siege of Tianzhou. Each one possesses greater combat power than the previous four central armies combined! Your Central Land army and this group of armies from other realms cannot possibly withstand them!"

Jiang Fan smiled indifferently:

"What if we can't stop them? If I die, someone will replace me in the Ancient Wilderness Hunt until it ends, completely concluding this war!" The moment he leaped into the long black river, he had already mentally prepared for his demise.

"As for you..." Jiang Fan's gaze sharpened. "I have prepared a new gift for you Ancient Giants. I hope you'll like it!"
