Dragon-Marked War God

The Second Palace Lord had already shown them the door, which left Dou Qing somewhat speechless. This guy burned his bridges a bit too quickly, didn’t he? They hadn’t even left yet and he was already chasing them out. But Dou Qing couldn’t be bothered to argue. He could naturally see that the Second Palace Lord was afraid he had some ulterior motive. If that were the case, how could the Second Palace Lord turn the tide on his own?

“The Second Palace Lord had better take care of himself. Judging a gentleman by the measure of a petty man isn’t very honorable after all. We won’t stay any longer, so we’ll take our leave here.”

Dou Qing said.

“Very well, Brother Dou. Then we will meet again someday. I wish you a triumphant return.”

The Second Palace Lord nodded. Dou Qing could only choose to leave. The Second Palace Lord had made himself so obvious that there was no need for him to linger any longer.

In fact, Dou Qing had already made his own calculations. Since the Second Palace Lord was burning his bridges, and they were in a hurry to set off, there was no need to keep tangling with him.

Jiang Chen had been suppressed within the Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation, and at this moment he was at his last breath. Most importantly, the Second Palace Lord was afraid that Dou Qing would want a share of the spoils. On top of that, he wanted to take this opportunity to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm. What he wanted was exactly this opportunity, and he didn’t want Dou Qing and the others disturbing him. The Heavenly Lightning origin within the Lightning-Gathering Peak was almost completely fused. He only needed to make the breakthrough now and he would reach his Big Brother’s realm, the Divine Emperor Realm. By then, the prestige of the Profound Connection Divine Palace would surely rise once again.

After Dou Qing left, the Second Palace Lord appeared above the Lightning-Gathering Peak once more. At this moment, Jiang Chen’s aura was extremely weak, but the Second Palace Lord would not let him die. The Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation would suppress Jiang Chen, but it would not kill him. He wanted to extract his soul first, and then slowly torment him.

“Now you have nowhere left to go. Next, I will extract your soul. Accept reality, Jiang Chen. Your mistake was making an enemy of this Palace Lord.”

The Second Palace Lord said with a cold smile. The Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation laid by a Divine Emperor Realm expert was too powerful. Although Jiang Chen had escaped one calamity, he could not break out with his own strength at all.

“Dog thief, if you have the guts, fight me to the death.”

Jiang Chen shouted in a deep voice, his voice echoing over the Lightning-Gathering Peak. The Second Palace Lord found it more and more laughable.

“You’re not worthy of fighting me. If I wanted to kill you now, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.”

The Second Palace Lord said arrogantly. In fact, that was indeed the case. Above the Lightning-Gathering Peak now, with a wave of the Second Palace Lord’s hand, lightning flashed and struck at Jiang Chen again and again. The terrifying power of that lightning was not the least bit weaker than his own Heavenly Lightning, and was perhaps even stronger. Jiang Chen was deeply shocked. Was this Heavenly Lightning origin really connected to the formless Heavenly Lightning? Or rather, perhaps this Lightning-Gathering Peak had always been sealing an extraordinary Heavenly Lightning.

“When I break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, let’s see who can stand against me! Hahaha. You can just stay here. Without the might of the Divine Emperor Realm, there’s no way to break through this formation. Jiang Chen, I’m going to let you be bombarded to death by this supreme Heavenly Lightning.”

The Second Palace Lord roared, and with a wave of his hand, he drew down bolt after bolt of Heavenly Lightning, which fell from within the formation.

Jiang Chen’s expression was extremely grave. After countless attempts, he already knew that his strength could not break through the Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation at all. The might of a Divine Emperor could not be underestimated after all. Although his strength had recovered a little now, Jiang Chen could feel that even if he recovered all his strength, he still wouldn’t be able to break through the formation.

“Does this guy want to use this Heavenly Lightning origin to break through to the Divine Emperor Realm?”

Jiang Chen said in a deep voice. He had already come to some understanding in his heart. The Heavenly Lightning that he thought would surely injure him severely had instead become pure lightning power for Jiang Chen to cultivate with, making his strength recover even faster.

But at that very moment, something happened that even Jiang Chen had not expected. Within the Lightning-Gathering Peak, a white lightning dragon descended from the sky. Endless killing intent flashed in its dragon eyes, which looked down upon the whole world. That domineering air, which towered over all living beings, made even Jiang Chen’s heart palpitate.

“You——”

Jiang Chen frowned deeply, but the next moment, he was completely swallowed by this white lightning dragon. It was too powerful. That unrivaled feeling filled Jiang Chen’s heart with a sense of helplessness. His defenses were destroyed by the giant lightning dragon in an instant, and his vitality was about to be completely cut off in the blink of an eye. It was a might that Jiang Chen simply could not resist…

In a great mountain ten thousand miles away from the Profound Connection Divine Palace, when Dragon Shisan woke up, his face was covered in frost. The first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Bai Yun.

“If you hadn’t saved me before, you’d be dead right now.”

Dragon Shisan said in a deep voice, staring fixedly at Bai Yun. His cold expression made Bai Yun’s heart tremble, because Dragon Shisan’s coldness was the kind that kept people a thousand miles away. Bai Yun’s heart immediately clenched. She had already thought that Dragon Shisan might push her away, but she hadn’t expected it to be this strong. That coldness and disdain hurt Bai Yun very deeply.

“Don’t you understand Jiang Chen’s good intentions at all?”

Bai Yun’s little face scrunched up as if she had been terribly wronged, but this had no effect at all on Dragon Shisan. He didn’t even want to look at Bai Yun.

Dragon Shisan said nothing, turned and got up.

“Do you really not want to see me that much?”

Bai Yun said, biting her lip tightly. The sadness in her heart was plain to see. She had risked her life to save him twice, and the origin power in her body was growing weaker and weaker, but what she got in return was such cold treatment from Dragon Shisan.

“I don’t know you.”

Dragon Shisan stopped in his tracks and said flatly. Those calm words were the greatest mockery and hurt for Bai Yun.

Bai Yun hugged her slender shoulders and squatted on the ground, crying quietly. Bing Yun and Qian Renji couldn’t help going over to comfort her. This pure, innocent little girl being treated so coldly by Dragon Shisan really made their hearts ache.

Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng both remained silent, gazing at the pale light of dawn rising in the east. If Jiang Chen died, their hearts would surely be buried in the heavens and earth of the Divine World along with him.

“Dead or alive, I will definitely bring Little Chen back. I definitely will!”

Dragon Shisan turned and left without the slightest pause, and never looked back again. He treated Bai Yun as if she were a stranger he had never met.

“You have no right to decide whether I live or die!”

Dragon Shisan glanced at Bai Yun. The coldness at that moment was something Bai Yun never wanted to see again for the rest of her life, because at that moment, her heart felt as if it had died. Dragon Shisan had already made up his mind. His heart was filled with grief. He could feel Jiang Chen’s aura, extremely weak and intermittent, but he knew that Jiang Chen was not dead yet!

However, just as Dragon Shisan set off holding the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, ready to return to the Profound Connection Divine Palace, the light on the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda suddenly vanished. That meant Jiang Chen’s aura had vanished along with it, and the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda had also severed its connection with Jiang Chen.

Dragon Shisan’s heart instantly sank to the bottom.

“No, Little Chen, no! This can’t be true!”

In Dragon Shisan’s frost-cold eyes, something glittered like crystal. He turned into a streak of light and, burning with anxiety, rushed straight toward the Profound Connection Divine Palace.
