Dragon-Marked War God

“Sister Ning…”

Yan Qingcheng murmured silently. When she looked at Jiang Chen’s eyes, she knew he was completely enraged. She had never seen him this angry. It was like a raging fire that could never be put out!

Jiang Chen’s eyes were filled with an extremely icy light, like a towering flame shooting beyond the Nine Heavens. That terrifying aura kept spreading out as Jiang Chen’s fury was released completely. He could tolerate being bullied, he could tolerate being weak, but the one thing he could not tolerate was anyone touching his woman, especially his most beloved Sister Ning! This was his taboo, the one line no one could ever cross. Once someone crossed it, Jiang Chen would surely erupt!

The Second Palace Lord did not know, nor did he understand, how important Wu Ningzhu was in Jiang Chen’s heart. In his view, she was just a woman. At most, it showed that Jiang Chen valued his feelings quite a bit. Exchanging her for his brother’s soul was simply too good a deal. He had never imagined that Jiang Chen would care so much about Wu Ningzhu. How could a true expert be tied down by romance? Once your strength reached a truly peerless level, wouldn’t all the women under heaven be yours to choose from? On the great path of cultivation, the Second Palace Lord had never seen anyone who truly put a woman first.

Jiang Chen’s icy killing intent made the Second Palace Lord frown deeply as well. This guy really was different from others. He actually valued Wu Ningzhu this much. Wasn’t she just a woman? If she weren’t useful for getting his brother back, he would have killed Wu Ningzhu long ago. As it turned out, although he could not use Wu Ningzhu to threaten Jiang Chen into anything else, she had become one of his most important bargaining chips.

“Don’t believe him. I don’t have long to live anyway. Little Chen, you must not let him lead you by the nose!”

Wu Ningzhu said through gritted teeth. Her blood-red eyes were misted with tears. Being able to see the one she loved and longed for before she died was already enough for her. She had thought that once she came to the Divine World, she and Jiang Chen would be separated at the ends of the earth forever. But the heavens had opened their eyes and let her meet Jiang Chen again here, which was already a blessing. She would not hope for anything more, because this was her fate. Besides, if she became a burden to Jiang Chen, she would regret it for the rest of her life. She could die, but Jiang Chen could not lose! Her man must never be held hostage by him.

Countless times in her heart, Wu Ningzhu had imagined the moment they would meet again. They would hold each other and cry, and she would throw herself into his arms and act spoiled, blaming him for not coming to find her all these years, blaming him for not treating her well enough. But the instant she saw Jiang Chen, everything turned into tears bursting through a dam, and only one belief remained in her heart: as long as he was here, everything was enough.

Jiang Chen suppressed the fury in his heart. No matter what, he would not let Wu Ningzhu be harmed in any way. If the Second Palace Lord dared to touch a single hair on her head, Jiang Chen would make sure he never reincarnated and suffered the bitterest pain in the cycle of rebirth forever.

“But losing you is the one thing I can’t bear.”

Although the fury in Jiang Chen’s body was hard to suppress, he still kept a clear head.

“Even if you die and your Dao vanishes, even if I have to search the blue heavens above and the Yellow Springs below and find nothing in either, I will still find you.”

Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Wu Ningzhu cried her heart out. She didn’t want to die. She wanted to be with the person she loved. She wanted to bear Jiang Chen’s children, children that belonged to the two of them. She wanted to be with him for a lifetime and never be apart. But fate was so unfair, leaving her a prisoner with not long to live.

“You only have this one choice.”

The Second Palace Lord frowned and said coldly.

“Fine! I’ll agree.”

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. As long as Sister Ning was safe, Jiang Chen would not hesitate to strike. He would definitely cut down the Second Palace Lord. He would definitely crush his bones and scatter his ashes, and not rest until he was dead!

“Good. Release my Third Brother.”

The Second Palace Lord said.

“Don’t you think you’re lacking in sincerity? You’re the one who made the demand, so you should release her first.”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.

“Since neither of us trusts the other, let’s release them together. I’ll count to three. I don’t want to break my word, but I don’t want to be deceived either.”

The Second Palace Lord narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen nodded silently.

“One! Two! Three!”

The moment the Second Palace Lord said “three,” the two of them released their hostages at the same time. Jiang Chen took Wu Ningzhu directly into the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. The Second Palace Lord was even faster. When he got the Third Palace Lord’s soul, he tried to seize Wu Ningzhu again, but she had already been rescued by Jiang Chen.

The Second Palace Lord’s pupils shrank. He stared fixedly at Jiang Chen and said in a deep voice:

“You’ll pay for my Third Brother’s death.”

“You dared to threaten me with my woman. From that moment, you were destined to die.”

Jiang Chen said calmly, but the bloody light in his eyes became even more sinister. Jiang Chen held Wu Ningzhu with one arm. The familiar feeling, the familiar scent, the familiar eyes. Jiang Chen had been waiting for this moment for far too long, but he had never expected it to come at a time like this, when they faced a life-and-death crisis and met by chance. What he could give her was far too little, and what he owed her seemed to have no end.

“Little Chen, I missed you.”

That one sentence from Wu Ningzhu left the thousands of words in Jiang Chen’s heart unsaid, because that one sentence filled his heart with contentment, but even more with guilt.

“From now on, no one will ever hurt you again, not even in the slightest.”

Jiang Chen said firmly.

Wu Ningzhu smiled faintly and nodded silently.

“Sister Ning, it’s so good to see you.”

Yan Qingcheng also appeared beside Jiang Chen. Wu Ningzhu was also very pleasantly surprised. She took Yan Qingcheng’s hands, the joy in her heart written all over her face.

“So tender, it really makes people envious and jealous. Unfortunately, an indecisive man will never amount to anything.”

The Second Palace Lord said with a cold smile, his gaze pointed straight at Jiang Chen.

“Take care of Sister Ning.”

Jiang Chen glanced at the two women and said gently.

“Jiang Chen, be careful!”

Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng said in unison. They both hoped Jiang Chen would come back safely. But the Second Palace Lord was far, far too strong. Once Jiang Chen went, it would be a battle of life and death, a fight on desperate ground where only death awaited!

At this moment, when Jiang Chen turned around again, his momentum had already risen to its peak, and his fury had been completely released. There was only one belief in Jiang Chen’s heart, and that was to kill the Second Palace Lord! The Profound Connection Divine Palace must be destroyed!

A dragon’s reverse scale must not be touched by anyone, because to touch it is to die!
