Dragon-Marked War God

“Dog thief, come out and die! Your grandpa Dragon Shisan is back again!”

The voice, shaking the nine mountains, echoed over the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Figure after figure floated up into the air, silently gazing at the proud, solitary figure in the void, utterly shocked. Dragon Shisan had actually come back? Leaving and then returning, what gave him the confidence to fight his way back into the Profound Connection Divine Palace? This was no different from courting his own destruction.

“Does this guy not want to live anymore? Hmph. He really doesn’t know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is. He fled in disgrace earlier, and now he’s recklessly setting foot in the Profound Connection Divine Palace again. Isn’t staying alive good enough? Tch.”

“He still wants to win back some face? What a pipe dream. Since he has come back to the Profound Connection Divine Palace, he’s destined to stay here forever.”

“The Second Palace Lord will absolutely not let him off. Does this guy really think he’s Jiang Chen? Even Jiang Chen, that peerless freak, was killed by the Second Palace Lord under the pressure of four Half-step Divine Emperors, let alone him!”

Dragon Shisan’s appearance once again drew the attention of everyone in the Profound Connection Divine Palace. Jiang Chen had been defeated and killed, and Dragon Shisan and the others had fled in panic. They had thought this matter had come to an end, but they never expected another wave to rise. Dragon Shisan’s figure, as if carved by a blade, stood still in the void, cold as a hook. His gaze fixed on the Profound Connection Divine Palace, and his imperious bearing was frightening.

But no one noticed that Dragon Shisan’s body was trembling slightly. The light of the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda had vanished, which meant that Jiang Chen was already dead, and the last tiny bit of hope Dragon Shisan had clung to was shattered along with it. He had already guessed all of this, but he still didn’t dare to believe it. Jiang Chen had escaped death time after time, finding a way out of hopeless situations again and again, and that had filled Dragon Shisan with expectations of him. But at this moment, even the light of the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda had dimmed, and that meant Jiang Chen’s vitality had truly been completely cut off. Otherwise, with Jiang Chen connected to the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, how could this have happened?

Dragon Shisan never expected that a single wrong thought of his would make his closest brother pay with his life. The result of his reckless gamble was harming both others and himself. He had wanted to kill the Second Palace Lord too badly. A hundred years of torture. No one could know just how the Second Palace Lord had treated him. That pain had tormented Dragon Shisan for a full hundred years, so what reason did he have not to fight with his life on the line?

A thousand thoughts had gone through Dragon Shisan’s mind about how it would all end, but he never imagined that Jiang Chen would die and that they would fall short at the very last step. Although they had killed the Third Palace Lord, the Second Palace Lord was still alive, and this filled Dragon Shisan’s heart with rage and regret. If he hadn’t acted on impulse, he wouldn’t have caused such a huge mistake. He didn’t dare to look at Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng. He was afraid of seeing the despair in their eyes. The condemnation in his heart would surely cut even deeper to the bone.

Anyone would blame him, but Jiang Chen wouldn’t. That was his life-and-death brother. That was the Jiang Chen in his heart.

But what could he do now? His hands kept trembling. Jiang Chen’s aura had been cut off, silently and without a trace. He had been killed by the Second Palace Lord, and even more so by Dragon Shisan himself. But he was going to kill the Second Palace Lord, even if it cost him his own life.

Dragon Shisan’s heart was torn. His fury soared up to the heavens, and his aura had already reached its peak. Today, he would dye the nine heavens red with his own blood. He would offer the Second Palace Lord’s soul as a sacrifice to Jiang Chen!

“I didn’t expect you to dare to come back. Leaving and then returning, you really surprised me.”

The Second Palace Lord flew up into the void. Seeing Dragon Shisan appear, his eyes lit up. He had thought that after Dragon Shisan escaped, he might never come back again, but he never expected this guy to dare to turn back. In that case, this time he would not let him escape from his grasp again no matter what.

“Dog thief, Jiang Chen… was killed by you!”

Dragon Shisan took a deep breath. That soaring fury kept burning in his eyes, which made the Second Palace Lord frown deeply, extremely angry.

“Kid, who do you think you are? With just you, you think you can fight me? Have you forgotten the lesson from before? As for Jiang Chen’s death, even without you, he wouldn’t have lived long. Making an enemy of me was seeking his own death. Not long ago you fled in panic, and now you’ve come back. Could it be that you’ve thought it through and want to become my spirit beast? Heh. Those who understand the times are heroes. It seems you’re still quite sensible. Don’t worry. Once you become my spirit beast, I won’t treat you badly. When I break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, that will be the day you follow me and make a name for yourself!”

The Second Palace Lord said with a smile, as if he could already see himself carefree and unfettered, laughing proudly at the world, so invincible that he was lonely.

“I’m going to use your blood as a sacrifice to Little Chen. Dog thief, give me your life!”

Dragon Shisan’s roar was like thunder, rolling in and crushing across the sky.

Dragon Shisan gripped the Unparalleled Divine Staff and clashed with the Second Palace Lord. With the Battle Saint Technique, staff shadows filled the sky. At this moment, Dragon Shisan was fighting toward death. He had not the slightest wish to live on. He had poured all his hope of life into the Unparalleled Divine Staff in his hands. At that moment, even the Second Palace Lord’s expression changed greatly. Dragon Shisan’s offensive was simply too strong. Compared to before, he was like a completely different person. This guy’s Battle Saint Technique charged at him as if he didn’t care about his life at all. Staff shadow after staff shadow rose up to the heavens, whirling up winds and changing the color of heaven and earth.

Under this one burst of momentum, the Second Palace Lord fell completely into a passive position. He never expected Dragon Shisan to be so resolute. What was most infuriating was that every move Dragon Shisan made left no leeway for himself. His only goal was to kill him in one go. He didn’t even flinch at the thought of death. Fighting toward death was the most terrifying thing of all.

The might of the Battle Saint Technique was also unleashed to the extreme. Even with the might of a Half-step Divine Emperor, the Second Palace Lord had no choice but to go all out. Although his strength had already recovered to its peak, this time Dragon Shisan had completely changed his way of fighting. He was trading his life for the Second Palace Lord’s life. This life-for-a-life style of fighting made the Second Palace Lord’s face extremely dark. It was the first time he had encountered such a demented style of fighting. It was even worse than the suicidal charge of a puppet!

Because Dragon Shisan was fighting so desperately, the battle between him and the Second Palace Lord became even more earth-shaking and heart-rending. It made the blood of the people of the Profound Connection Divine Palace boil as they watched. It was a completely reckless charge. Because he had nothing to hold him back, he was single-minded, and because he was single-minded, Dragon Shisan was able to unleash the Battle Saint Technique to its peak.

“Even if I have to die, I’ll take you down with me. Dog thief, you can’t escape!”
