Chapter 3055 – I, Dragon Shisan, Am Back
At the entrance to the seventeenth floor of the Heavenly Dragon Prison, two Hierarch experts were guarding the way in. Jiang Chen did not hesitate in the slightest. With the Soul Seizing Divine Art, he killed both of them in an instant, and the two guards collapsed without a sound.
“Black Soil, what are you doing?”
Bai Yun’s delicate little face changed slightly, but there was a sly glint in her eyes.
“Bai Yun, what I’m doing now has nothing to do with you. You’d better not get involved. Otherwise, by the time you come to your senses, it’ll be too late for regrets.”
Jiang Chen shook his head.
“The more you don’t want me to know, the more this girl wants to know, hehe.”
Bai Yun put on a proud and spoiled look, thinking to herself, let’s see what you can do to me.
“Suit yourself. Just don’t get in my way.”
Jiang Chen frowned. This girl really was a bit of a handful. Moreover, her strength was strange and far from ordinary, and Jiang Chen did not want to get too entangled with her.
“Okay, okay, okay. I definitely won’t bother you. I’ll just watch and not say a word.”
Bai Yun giggled and walked behind Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen quickly entered the Heavenly Fire Hell of the seventeenth floor. In that moment, his eyes grew moist. He had never imagined that the person on the stone rack in front of him, listless, riddled with wounds, hair disheveled and dripping with blood, was Dragon Shisan, that peerless demon monkey who had once stood proud and domineering over the world. Jiang Chen’s heart trembled. It hurt so much he could hardly breathe. He took a deep breath, and his face became extremely cold and murderous. Even Bai Yun behind him could feel the overwhelming killing intent coming from Jiang Chen.
He hated himself for not coming sooner. He hated himself for not being able to rescue Dragon Shisan earlier, which had made him suffer such great torment, an injustice that would enrage both men and gods. He hated his own incompetence!
The deep, ghastly wounds all over Dragon Shisan’s body reached the bone, a shocking sight. Jiang Chen could hardly bear to look, because this was his closest brother! No one knew how he felt at this moment. He wished he could hack the Second Palace Lord and everyone in the Profound Connection Divine Palace into a thousand pieces and put them to death by a thousand cuts. He would avenge Dragon Shisan! Even if, right now, he might not have a chance of fighting the Profound Connection Divine Palace, even knowing he would surely die, he would still get justice for Dragon Shisan!
“Dead monkey!”
“Little Chen!”
The moment Jiang Chen called out to Dragon Shisan, Dragon Shisan raised his head at almost the same time, because he sensed that his brother had appeared before him at his weakest and most painful moment. That excitement was beyond words, and that bond was stronger than gold. Dragon Shisan’s blood-red eyes grew slightly moist too, and he could hardly believe the scene before him.
For more than a hundred years, he had endured too much pain and torment and had been on the verge of collapse. No one knew what he had gone through in those hundred-odd years. But from that ravaged face, what Jiang Chen sensed was Dragon Shisan’s indomitable will and unwavering conviction. Without such an obsession, he might have fallen long ago. He might no longer be alive in front of him.
A man does not shed tears lightly, only when his heart is truly broken! A cold light flashed in Dragon Shisan’s eyes, because he knew that Little Chen was here, so he had a chance to see the light of day again. He would absolutely not let this Profound Connection Divine Palace off easily. That Second Palace Lord, he would carve the flesh off him bit by bit and make him pay for his hundred years of torture.
In this world, the only one Dragon Shisan could pin his hopes on was Jiang Chen. When he was on the brink of despair, with death closing in on him again and again, he had only one belief in his heart: as long as Little Chen could come, he would be satisfied. Even if he died nine times, he would have no regrets, because with him here, he would surely be avenged.
He had thought that his life was about to be extinguished. Yet he never expected that Little Chen really would rekindle his life at the very moment he was about to give up hope. No one could know what that felt like.
Time and again, he had cried out. It was precisely because of this that Jiang Chen had sensed that trace of despairing life struggling endlessly on the edge of death, and had felt an extremely strong calling in the Heavenly Dragon Prison. That calling was the connection between their hearts. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would not have kept following his curiosity until he finally saw Dragon Shisan’s nearly hopeless face. The wounds he had suffered were beyond anything an ordinary person could imagine or comprehend.
“I’m here. No one will bully you again!”
Jiang Chen’s eyes were bloodshot with fury as he spoke coldly. When he said those words, how much he blamed himself, how much it hurt! Dragon Shisan held back his tears too, though inside he was already sobbing uncontrollably. That brotherhood and deep affection was the greatest treasure of his life. Jiang Chen was his only family!
“Little Chen, we can fight side by side again. Hahahaha.”
Dragon Shisan let out a wild roar, holding back his tears. That heaven-soaring fighting spirit and will to battle had been ignited by Jiang Chen once more, and that blazing fury burned fiercely.
“The Second Palace Lord sealed your strength with his soul?”
Jiang Chen frowned, his face extremely ugly. Dragon Shisan was now seriously injured and on the verge of death, and his soul had been suppressed to the limit by the Second Palace Lord. If Jiang Chen had not appeared in time, he might not have held on for much longer.
“Yeah. When I was breaking through to the Late Divine King Realm, I was seriously injured by the Lightning Tribulation. As luck would have it, that bastard showed up and suppressed me, and since then there’s been no getting back up. He wanted me to submit and be his demonic beast. What a joke. Even if I, Dragon Shisan, die, I will never bow to anyone!”
Dragon Shisan said through gritted teeth. His fury let Jiang Chen feel the anger and despair he had once felt.
“My recovery ability is strong, don’t worry. As long as I can get out of this guy’s control, I can definitely recover quickly.”
“Soul suppression. Your strength was damaged, and your soul realm is lower than that bastard Second Palace Lord’s, so you could only be suppressed.”
Jiang Chen frowned slightly. A terrifying soul power surged out and instantly broke through the soul shackles the Second Palace Lord had left. In the blink of an eye, Dragon Shisan was freed.
“What terrifying soul power. Little Chen, your strength…”
Dragon Shisan looked at Jiang Chen in great surprise.
“Only the Early Hierarch Realm. There’s still some gap compared to you.”
Jiang Chen said with a smile.
“You…”
Dragon Shisan smiled bitterly, but his eyes were filled with a fighting spirit that soared to the heavens.
Dragon Shisan’s tottering body almost fell. He dropped to one knee, his face fierce. Slowly he raised his head, and his blood-red eyes flickered. His gaze was like a rainbow tearing across the horizon, splitting the Nine Heavens and soaring upward, proud over all the world!
“I, Dragon Shisan, am back!”
