Dragon-Marked War God

“Perhaps this is just who Jiang Chen is. His brother, that Dragon Shisan, must have a deep grudge with the Second Palace Lord. That’s probably what lit the fuse, which is why there’s such a terrifying battle.”

Mo Kehan said in a low voice. His heart was also full of guilt. If his strength had reached the Hierarch Realm, he would have stepped in without hesitation. But right now he could not be of the slightest use. Even if he joined the battle, he would only be cannon fodder and make no difference at all. It wasn’t that he was afraid of death. It was that dying without any meaning would simply be foolish.

Lu Dong glanced at Mo Kehan as well. The two of them could be considered the people who knew Jiang Chen best. If not for Jiang Chen back then, they would not even have had the chance to set foot in the Divine World. That was fate. And yet in the end, Jiang Chen had done something that made them sigh in regret. Would the Profound Connection Divine Palace lose? Could Jiang Chen rise up and defeat the Second and Third Palace Lords and those hundred-odd Hierarch experts? The answer did not need explaining. Everyone already knew it.

The Profound Connection Divine Palace had plenty of opponents, but up to now not a single one had dared to fight it face to face. Yet Jiang Chen dared to stand with his blade drawn and his horse reined in, wanting to compete with heaven itself to see who stood taller. That majestic spirit was something they could never reach in their lifetimes. But in the eyes of most people, Jiang Chen was just throwing an egg at a rock. Perhaps only his death would truly give people something to think about.

Yan Qingcheng’s eyes were also full of anxiety. With hundreds of Hierarch experts pressing in, Jiang Chen’s situation would become even more dangerous.

But although Jiang Chen was alarmed, he was not flustered. He glanced at the hundreds of Hierarch experts, and the corner of his mouth grew colder.

“Whoever stands in my way, dies!”

Jiang Chen’s sword intent soared into the sky. The moment the intent of the Sword of Solitude came out, the Seven Heavenly Dragon Knights descended from the sky, all at the Late Hierarch Realm. Their momentum was vast. Dragon shadows soared into the air, and the knights rode proudly as if laughing at the whole world. Even the hundred-odd Hierarch experts showed looks of great shock when facing the Seven Heavenly Dragon Knights. Where Jiang Chen’s sword intent pointed, the Heavenly Dragon Knights charged out with a roar, sweeping across the sky. They struck first, bearing down on the hundred-odd Hierarch experts, and in an instant over a hundred people were scattered by the Seven Heavenly Dragon Knights. Jiang Chen’s peerless bearing shocked everyone once again!

“What terrifying dragon knights. They’re even fiercer than our mentors.”

“Yeah, and these dragon knights are all puppets. It’s simply unbelievable.”

“No wonder this Jiang Chen was so sure of himself. He was prepared all along. With the abilities of these seven dragon knights, I’m afraid they can turn the tables on hundreds of Hierarch experts.”

The Heavenly Dragon Knights, with their peerless draconic might, had no trouble holding back a hundred Early and Mid Hierarch experts. They even formed a crushing advantage, causing an uproar throughout the Profound Connection Divine Palace.

“Limitless Sword, the Tenth Sword!”

Jiang Chen’s swordplay was like a hook, invincible wherever it went. Sword shadows spread across the sky. The Third Palace Lord swept his Silver Snake Halberd across the void, domineering and unstoppable, giving Jiang Chen no chance at all.

“Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique!”

Jiang Chen used the Ancient Soaring Dragon Technique once again, holding nothing back. In his battle with the Third Palace Lord, he was gradually finding his footing. For the Third Palace Lord, taking down Jiang Chen with his attacks was becoming harder and harder.

“Heavenly Snake Severs the Void!”

Silvery-white snake shadows filled the void. Jiang Chen retreated step by step, pressed down by the phantoms of the heavenly snakes. Even the Tenth Sword was not enough to force the Third Palace Lord back, and his opponent’s momentum grew stronger and stronger.

“The Eleventh Sword!”

Every move Jiang Chen made was ferocious, his sword momentum extraordinary. An ordinary Peak Hierarch would have been defeated by him long ago. But the Third Palace Lord was, after all, an expert who had crossed into the Emperor’s realm. Even though he was still far from the Divine Emperor Realm, the Emperor’s realm was still not to be ignored.

The Eleventh Sword was like ten thousand swords returning to their source, intertwining with the silvery-white snake shadows. Jiang Chen fought while retreating, and he had already started setting up a formation. If he wanted to defeat the Third Palace Lord, he had to use the Ashura Sword Formation. Otherwise, there was no way he could win. With his current strength, he could only unleash the Eleventh Sword. If he could unleash the Thirteenth Sword, perhaps he would have a chance. But although he had comprehended the Thirteenth Sword, he could not unleash it. Back then, Jiang Chen had been in the void, which was why his sword momentum could be brought into play. That was a realm of nothingness where he broke through to the Great Dao, different from reality. So now Jiang Chen could only use the Eleventh Sword, and the Eleventh Sword was still a drop in the bucket against the Third Palace Lord.

Jiang Chen fought while retreating, forcing the Third Palace Lord back with supreme sword intent. But the Third Palace Lord was no pushover. Jiang Chen could only settle for second best. As long as he could stay undefeated, it would be enough.

“I’m counting on you, Fire Qilin. Hold him off for me. I only need half an incense stick!”

Jiang Chen said through gritted teeth. He forced the Third Palace Lord back again, but his situation was precarious.

“Alright!”

Fire Qilin said nothing more, because he knew where his duty lay. If Jiang Chen died, he would not have the slightest chance of survival either. His life was bound to Jiang Chen’s.

Fire Qilin’s strength had now reached the peak of the Mid Hierarch Realm. An ordinary Late Hierarch was naturally no problem for him, and he might even be able to put up a fight against a Peak Hierarch. It was just that how long he could hold out was unknown. Jiang Chen knew that making Fire Qilin face the Third Palace Lord’s attacks was asking a lot of him. But he needed time to set up the formation. Half an incense stick would be enough. It all depended on whether Fire Qilin could complete the task.

“A Fire Qilin? Hahaha. Second Brother has a Ling Ming Stone Monkey to subdue, so I’ll subdue this Fire Qilin for fun.”

The Third Palace Lord laughed loudly, a sharp gleam in his eyes. A divine beast like the Fire Qilin was extremely rare, even rarer than a divine dragon. At this moment, the Third Palace Lord had not expected Jiang Chen to have this card. This Fire Qilin’s strength was not bad; it had already reached the peak of the Mid Hierarch Realm. With a little training, it would definitely be a great help to him, and making it his mount would be no problem. As for Jiang Chen, he did not deserve to own a Fire Qilin at all. He was also very surprised. He hadn’t expected Jiang Chen to make a Fire Qilin that was even stronger than himself submit to him. He had to admit, this guy did have some ability.

But in the Third Palace Lord’s eyes, the Fire Qilin was already his own private property.

Jiang Chen’s eyes turned cold. At this moment, one hundred and eight Origin Divine Tools came out, and the Ashura Sword Formation quickly took shape in his hands. But for Fire Qilin, this half an incense stick was far, far too long.

The might of a Half-step Divine Emperor was simply not something Fire Qilin could resist. Almost every move hit him, and he was completely on the defensive. Fighting back desperately only made things harder for him, and his chances of survival were extremely slim. Fortunately, the Third Palace Lord did not want to kill Fire Qilin. Otherwise, Fire Qilin would already be dead.

“Damn it, hold on, Fire Qilin! Third Palace Lord, it looks like what I prepared for the Second Palace Lord will have to be used on you.”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. Thunder and lightning in three colors, red, yellow and blue, appeared in his hands. Heavenly Lightning rolled and all eight directions shook. At this moment, Jiang Chen was finally going to fuse the lightning and prepare for a fierce battle with the Third Palace Lord!

Even though the Ashura Sword Formation was not yet complete, Jiang Chen was not afraid at all. This time, he would make the Third Palace Lord pay!
